When I found out I had become the [Most Beautiful Woman], [Most Respected Woman], [Number One Talented Woman], and [Most Beautiful and Virtuous Empress] of the Great Xia Dynasty...
Su Chang...
Chapter 51: He is a business savvy
Su Zhaoxin saw that his fourth brother was still on the ground and looked at Su Changan's expression.
How to say it
He even wanted to pretend not to know me!
This money-grubber look is so embarrassing!
So he immediately coughed and said, "Fourth brother, stop counting the money."
Talking.
Su Zhaoxin squatted down and began to organize the books.
Although he doesn't like reading, books can't just be left there; they have to be placed neatly.
He remembered that his eldest sister mentioned something like "Books are like medicine. Reading them well can cure ignorance" when chatting with his third uncle. He didn't understand what it meant, but since they were medicine, they had to be kept neatly and not wasted, because medicine could save lives.
Su Liheng, the fourth brother of Su Zhaoxin and the eldest son of Su Zifeng, waved his hand, looked at Su Zhaoxin sorting out the books and said, "Don't rush to sort them out. There's too much money and it might collapse again. If you want to watch the fun, go away. I'll count the money and give you your share."
As he spoke, Su Liheng continued to count the money there, not caring about Su Zhaoxin at all. The only thing in his eyes was the money in front of him.
Su Changan smiled helplessly, then said: "How did you make so much money?"
Su Liheng was stunned for a moment, turned around and looked over, his eyes widened immediately, "Big sister?!"
Although they had never actually met, Su Liheng had seen him from afar, so he recognized Su Changan at a glance.
At this time, Su Zhaoxin said, "Fourth brother, I have explained everything that needs to be explained. Big sister is easy to talk to."
Hearing this, Su Liheng glared at the little guy Su Zhaoxin.
He also understood it. It was obvious that Su Zhaoxin had confessed everything.
However, he turned around to look at the silver and money around him and was about to say something.
At this time, a voice came from downstairs, "What's coming next is incredible, it's a complete set of calligraphy by Miss Chang'an."
For a moment, Su Liheng seemed to be hesitant to speak, looking around, as if he was looking for a way to escape.
But after searching around, I found that there was only one staircase going down on the second floor.
There is nowhere to escape.
Looking at Su Changan again, Su Liheng pursed his lips, really not knowing what to say.
Su Changan looked at Su Liheng, who looked about fifteen or sixteen years old and looked about 70% similar to Su Zifeng, except that he was a little fatter.
However, seeing that Su Liheng looked somewhat at a loss, Su Changan went straight to the point: "You don't want Grandpa to know what you did, right?"
Su Liheng was stunned for a moment, then nodded and begged for mercy: "Please, big sister, don't tell my grandfather. If he finds out, someone will die. And if anyone is to blame, blame that brat Su Zhaoxin. He told me that he could take out your unwanted writings and sell them to me."
"He himself fell in love with a horse with a broken leg, so he wanted to make some money, and that's how all these things happened. It was all his idea. I just provided the venue and helped him polish his plan."
Hearing
Su Changan was stunned for a moment, then looked at Su Zhaoxin.
Wow, they are indeed brothers!
Betrayal comes first!
Su Zhaoxin heard this and got angry too. He immediately shouted, "Su Liheng! What nonsense are you talking about! It was you who asked me if I could get my elder sister Wen Mo's and tempted me with things. That's why I did this. You are the mastermind!!"
Su Liheng didn't even look at Su Zhaoxin, but looked at Su Changan, and pointed at his own eyes: "Sister, look at my eyes, don't they say pure and innocent?"
After saying that, he pointed at Su Zhaoxin and said, "Look at him again. Doesn't he look cunning?"
Su Changan was speechless.
At the same time, Su Zhaoxin immediately shouted, "Stop pretending here! Third uncle scolds you every day for being a profiteer at such a young age! The teacher says that you are uneducated and have spent all your time on business. You are still innocent, you are innocent. You are innocent!!"
After scolding for this, Su Zhaoxin was obviously at a loss for words. He looked at Zhou Qianhong, then at Maomao, and finally at Su Changan.
Su Changan shook his head: "Okay, you two just be quiet for a while, I won't do anything."
Hearing this, Su Liheng's eyes lit up: "Big sister means that you won't tell grandpa?"
Su Changan nodded: "Well, I don't plan to tell."
Su Liheng's anxious heart was suddenly relieved.
Su Changan continued, "I want you to earn all the money you made from selling my things today."
Su Liheng's breath of relief suddenly fell to the ground, and his face immediately showed an expression of almost crying. He looked at Su Changan and said, "No. Big sister, you..."
Su Zhaoxin was happy to see Su Liheng like this, and immediately scolded: "You deserve it, who told you to throw dirty water on me!"
But Su Zhaoxin changed his mind and immediately looked at Su Changan: "That's not right, sister! If you take all of it, then my 10% will be gone!"
Su Liheng rolled his eyes at his brother, then looked at Su Changan with the same innocent eyes as before: "Sister, don't be like this. I know those things are yours, and I know that the money should be given to you after selling them, but...but you see, the person down there was trained by me, and I also built the venue and did the publicity. And you took them all away"
Hearing this, Su Changan was stunned for a moment and looked at Su Liheng carefully.
I had chatted with Su Zifeng before and heard him talk about his son, but he always shook his head and said that he was not cut out for studying or being an official, and his head was full of business tricks, such as this was profitable and that was not.
At that moment, I heard Su Liheng say that he had done publicity for this matter and trained people.
Su Changan was a little surprised: "You did the publicity a few days in advance."
Su Liheng immediately said, "Three days ago, there were many people in the capital who liked your poems and admired you, so I spread the word three days in advance, saying that I could get your original calligraphy. Then I deliberately spread the word that I had connections with the Su family and could really get it."
Su Changan asked again: "Did you also train that person below?"
Su Liheng nodded: "Selling your things, big sister, you can't just sell them casually, so I thought of some words. Besides, if I don't say some nice words, I'm afraid I won't be able to sell them at a high price."
After saying this, Su Liheng thought about his elder sister asking for 100% and taking it all. Thinking about the money behind him, he felt distressed and said with tears in his eyes, "Please, elder sister, don't tell grandpa, and don't take it all, otherwise I really won't be able to sleep. This is all my hard-earned money."
Su Zhaoxin came up to Su Changan and said, "Big sister, after you take all the money, will you give me 10%? If so, just take it all. Fourth brother has a lot of money anyway. It's all under his bed. It's all silver. He even sleeps on the bed made of silver."
Su Liheng looked at Su Zhaoxin with his eyes wide open.
Take his money!
Might as well kill him!!
As a result, this kid actually instigated the elder sister to take the money!
Su Liheng is very angry! The consequences are serious!
But now is not the time to teach Su Zhaoxin a lesson. The key is to prevent the elder sister from taking it all away.
So he looked at Su Changan eagerly.
Su Changan glanced at Su Zhaoxin and said, "Go play somewhere else."
Su Zhaoxin was stunned for a moment, and thought that since the elder sister didn't say directly that she would not give it to me, it meant that she would definitely give it to me. She told him to go play somewhere else so as not to disturb her while she was teaching Fourth Brother a lesson.
He immediately said "OK" and ran to the cat with a happy face.
Maomao looked down at the silly child, too lazy to say anything, and just turned to look at the books.
Zhou Qianhong smiled bitterly but ignored everything and stood respectfully at the stairs, always alert.
After thinking for a while, Su Changan asked Su Liheng: "Do you think the rouge business can make money?"
When I heard my elder sister suddenly ask me this, I was a little confused as to why she suddenly changed the subject, but she brought up the rouge business.
Su Liheng nodded immediately: "Profit! It's profitable! I calculated that an average-sized shop, if it only sells ordinary rouge, can make several thousand taels a year, excluding the cost, labor, and shop rental fees. This is still a normal sales. If the sales are good, such as selling some high-end products, it can make more than ten thousand a year."
"For example, the biggest rouge shop in Luoan City, Wubenfang, has a cooperation with people from the Western Regions. Every year, they send rouge from the Western Regions to us. Then, the owner also cooperates with rouge shops in the south and Shuchuan. We exchange what we have and what we don't. The rouge from the south is brought to us to sell in the north, and the rouge from the north is brought to the south. In this way, we make more money."
"Especially because the boss's products are good, she has cooperation with the biggest shops in Hua Street, and she also associates with many wives and daughters of officials. As a result, the sales channel has been completely opened. I secretly calculated that the shop, conservatively estimated, has a net profit of at least 30,000 taels a year. It's a pity that the boss is just an ordinary merchant. No matter how powerful she is, she is still not good enough. Many officials look down on her, so she didn't take over the entire Luoan City business. Otherwise, I estimate that her profit would at least double a year. If she can get the connection with the palace, it is possible to triple or even quadruple it."
Finished
Su Liheng looked at Su Changan and asked carefully, "Sister, are you going to start a rouge business?"
