Chapter Seventy-Nine: Chow Tai Fat Jewelry
As soon as I heard that I was going to divide the shops, no one could sit well.
Zheng Xiu'e was the first to wave her hand, "Our mother and mother are only in charge of three commercial houses, where is there more for the little sister?" ”
Zhou Gui also said: "I have worked hard for more than ten years, and it was not easy for me to take care of the rules of the five commercial firms, how can I say that it is easy to divide? ”
Everyone's eyes unconsciously focused on Zhou Pu, and everyone knew that the father and son of the third room owned ten commercial houses.
Zhou Pu kept a straight face and didn't say a word, obviously unwilling.
Zhou Tianci got up and saluted Zhou Yazhao: "It's not that the little nephew is offended, sister-in-law, you are born with a mouth disease, and you have never been out of the cabinet since you entered the Zhou family, so you probably can't even play the abacus, right?" ”
Zhou Yazhao wanted to get up, but was pushed back by Shen Wenjun.
"My cousin is one-sided," Song Che said with a smile: "Those who have broken their feet can walk with their hands, and those who are blind can listen to arguments, my aunt has hands and feet, and she is young, as the saying goes, 'live to learn all the time', if you don't understand, you can ask, you won't learn, plus I and Wen Jun assist, it's not difficult." ”
Zhou Tianci looked disdainful, but he still had a smile on his face, and asked, "A dumb girl, where is it not difficult?" ”
Song Che said loudly: "It's not difficult to make an abacus, it's not difficult to do business, and it's not difficult to win the palm print." ”
All the relatives should have heard a joke.
"The third child, you have ten shops in charge, be generous, and let your sister have one." The old lady persuaded.
Zhou Pu snorted lightly, "Since the mother speaks, why don't you obey?" It just so happened that there was a shop in Shuangqu in the southwest of the city, and I had no time to manage it, so I gave it to my little sister. ”
Song Che winked at Shen Wenjun and Zhou Yazhao, and said loudly: "My nephew thanked the third uncle for my aunt!" ”
"Okay." The old lady got up, "The Pearl Conference, it's still the rules of the past, I don't care about foreign businessmen, but our own family can compete, we must not kill each other, let alone do things that hurt nature and reason...... Alright, after today's feast, go down and prepare. ”
A house of children and grandchildren retired one after another.
Zhou Yazhao pulled Song Che and Shen Wenjun all the way back to Wutong Garden, stopped using sign language, directly took a pen and paper, and wrote down a line of words: "What do you want to do!" ”
"Oh, Yazhao, don't worry, I and Song Che will help you," Shen Wenjun sat down with Zhou Yazhao, "In this house, everyone dares to bully you, don't you want to fight?" ”
Zhou Yazhao had stubbornness on her face, but she was more worried, and she wrote down another greeting: "Do you know what the Pearl Conference is?" ”
"Wouldn't it be clear to ask someone?" Song Che called: "Xiaohuan." ”
The little maid walked in in response: "The slave is here." ”
"Do you know about the Pearl Conference?" Song Che asked.
The little maid's eyes lit up, "The slave naturally knows." ”
Song Che moved to the bench and sat down, and said with a smile: "Hurry up and talk about it carefully." ”
Xiaohuan said excitedly: "Speaking of the Pearl Conference, that's ...... But...... Anyway, the slave doesn't know how to describe it, it's so grand and beautiful, and the major jewelers in Hangzhou will select the largest, brightest, and most expensive gem from their own trading houses to participate in the meeting;
At the same time, courtesans and dancers will be invited, holding the orb, chanting poems, performing dances, and finally let the dignitaries of the whole city vote in unison, who has the brightest orb and a wonderful performance, and will be able to win the first place in the conference! ”
After listening to this, Shen Wenjun said: "In this way, this Pearl Conference must not only have jewelry, but also poetry, waiting, singing, and dancing...... It's definitely a lot of money. ”
Xiaohuan nodded: "Well, I heard that just one night conference, each merchant has to spend at least 1,000 taels!" ”
Song Che asked: "Who won the first place in the past few Pearl Conferences?" ”
Xiaohuan said: "Of course it's the three-room master." Every year at the Pearl Conference, the three masters will wrap up all the top geisha of Ziwei Pavilion to sing and dance, plus the three sons are erudite and talented, and they fill in the poems in person, looking at the entire Hangzhou City, who can compare? ”
The more she heard this, the more Zhou Yazhao lost her thoughts, she tugged at Shen Wenjun's sleeve and shook her head vigorously.
Shen Wenjun sighed: "The third uncle is indeed a big mountain among jewelers, and it is not easy to get the first place from him. ”
Silver, geisha, poetry, and jewelry were all minor problems in Song Che's eyes, and what he was most worried about was that the children and grandchildren of the Zhou family would do whatever it took to win the palm print.
"The soldiers will block, the water will cover the earth, and see who is more skilled!"
……
Early the next morning, Song Che personally drove and took Shen Wenjun and Zhou Yazhao, as well as Xiaohuan and Xiaotong, two little maids, to Shuangqu Street in the southwest of the city to receive shops
Every bustling city has dilapidated neighborhoods, Shuangqu Street is one of them, all old-fashioned houses, all of them are cloth and white, no wonder the third uncle will be so happy to give to the shops, selling jewelry in the slums, how can there be sales?
All this was expected by Song Che.
The carriage stopped in front of the "Zhou's Jewelry Store", but the door of the store was locked with a copper lock.
Shen Wenjun was faintly angry, "Obviously said that the shop will be transferred, even if you don't send someone to send the key, you should send someone to wait, how long do you want us to wait?" ”
Song Che jumped out of the carriage, strode to the front of the store, raised his leg and kicked the door open, his own shop, I kicked as much as I wanted, how could a copper lock block the way?
"Come in, a lock, lock the door, it's hard to break people."
The shop was moved cleanly, and not even a vase was left, which was a transfer, and it was clearly given to the empty shop.
"I'll go to the third uncle to reason!" Shen Wenjun turned around and was about to leave, but Song Che pulled her and said, "Take other people's hands short, eat other people's soft mouths, you don't need it." ”
Shen Wenjun said: "But what can this empty shop sell!" We still have to find merchants, negotiate prices, purchase, decorate, decorate, and even the guys are only us...... Half a month later, it will be the Pearl Conference, how can we open a store in 15 days? ”
Song Che said: "It's definitely too late to rebuild the shop, but we can do the 'distribution and takeaway' service. ”
"Takeaway?" Shen Wenjun and Zhou Yazhao were both puzzled.
Song Che said: "To put it simply, it is that the buyer places an order and we deliver it to the door, and this sales model has been widely used in Yunshuifang - takeaway does not need to be purchased in the store, and the store can be used as a workshop." ”
"Jewelry is different from cloth, expensive and not expensive, do you do this takeaway?" Shen Wenjun was worried.
Song Che smiled: "Who stipulates that you must make luxury jewelry?" ”
Shen Wenjun was confused, "You don't sell jewelry?" The title is wrong, not to mention that the Pearl Conference also needs a jewel, so can we still spend money to buy a rare treasure? It's a bottomless pit...... I don't have any money. ”
"It's hard to explain this matter to you for a while, but I already thought of a good plan last night, and your task today is to clean the store again, replace what should be replaced, and purchase what should be purchased,"
Song Che pointed to the lintel again and said: "This plaque must be replaced, and in the future, our new store name will be called - Chow Tai Fa Jewelry!" ”
