Chapter 531 Did you and Xu Yu go to rob?

Shen Anzhu's background is not afraid of being investigated, and even if it is investigated, no one will find any connection between him and Sang Zhixia.

There is no doubt about this person's ability. She can control the overall situation.

Once all the shops, big and small, are unified under Sang Zhixia's control, but seemingly unrelated to her, it will be convenient for unified management and control, and will ensure that the most important things are in Sang Zhixia's hands. Then, in the long run, there will be hope.

Shen Anzhu paused for a moment, then understood what Sang Zhixia meant. Finally, he applauded with admiration: "As expected of a boss, you're really thoughtful in making the best use of everything."

Sang Zhixia chuckled, "It's not quite right to say 'make the best use of things'. I'm clearly making the best use of people's talents."

"Don't worry, as long as the job is done, I won't treat you unfairly."

No matter whether it was the dividends that Shu promised to give to Shen Anzhu, or what the Northwest should give, whatever Shen Anzhu deserved would be given without ambiguity.

Chen Anzhu just smiled without saying anything. After entering the North City, he followed Sang Zhixia into the first shop. Every half hour that followed, his heart would be slightly shocked.

Sang Zhixia actually had many more shops than she had expected.

All kinds of flags are waving on the streets. They seem to be very diverse, but no one would have thought that behind these different flags, there is actually the same boss.

It is no exaggeration to say that more than 70% of the industries in North City are in the hands of Sang Zhixia alone.

This is just one place in the north city.

As far as Chen Anzhu knew, Sang Zhixia had made drastic moves in Shu. By the time Shu blossomed into a land of flowers, the trading network in Sang Zhixia's hands would have become unimaginably huge.

And this is just what’s on the surface.

Sang Zhixia led Chen Anzhu through the shops, big and small, one by one. They sat in the inner hall and drank a sip of hot tea before saying, "He Zhongxiang and Sanyou Grain Store are currently my largest businesses, and they are also well-known businesses."

Apart from this, the rest of the shops seemed to have nothing to do with Sang Zhixia at first glance, and in the days that followed, Sang Zhixia didn't want any connection to be seen.

Chen Anzhu looked at the delicate soap flower in his hand with a complicated expression: "How much is this soap flower worth?"

"right."

“This is not the most expensive.”

Sang Zhixia casually pointed to the neatly arranged shelves in front of her and said calmly, "Soap flowers are divided into different grades according to the materials used and the shape. The most expensive one is no less than ten taels, and the cheapest one is less than a hundred wen."

"The rest of the shops are small businesses with low costs and can't raise prices. The only thing that can compare to soap flowers in price is the peach blossom noodles we just saw."

Taohuamian specializes in selling rouge and powder, as well as matching makeup brushes.

The cosmetics that Aunt Xie and her team developed were different from those commonly seen on the street. Coupled with the gimmick of makeup brushes, Taohua Noodles immediately became a hot topic in North City as soon as it opened.

The price of cosmetics sold in Taohuamian is very high, so high that even Sang Zhixia would look askance at them. However, this does not affect the prosperity of the business. The quantity sold every day may not be as high as that sold elsewhere, but the amount shown on the books is very impressive.

Sang Zhixia brushed her fingertips and said with a smile, "If nothing unexpected happens, these soap flowers and cosmetics will appear in many different places in the next few months, and the prices may vary further."

Xue Liu, who went to Jiangnan, wrote to me a few days ago saying that the preparations for the store in Jiangnan have been almost completed and it is just waiting to open after the New Year.

The store that Sang Zhixia and Jiang Yubai agreed to open is also in the process of being prepared and will be open for business by the end of the month at the latest.

Jiang Yubai holds the key link of canal transportation in his hands, and he can transport not only the raw materials and finished products of soap flower and cosmetics, but also many other things.

These seemingly insignificant details will become the key for Sang Zhixia to open shops all over the Central Plains.

People in the world look down on the low status of merchants and subconsciously think that they cannot make much money from small businesses.

But how many people could have imagined that when these scattered and inconspicuous small businesses are put together, the final total amount they add up to is a huge sum every day.

Sang Zhixia just mentioned the details. The dark colors in Chen Anzhu's eyes fluctuated, and finally he couldn't help but sigh: "The foreshadowing is thousands of miles away. Sitting in the northwest and flowers blooming everywhere, the boss has good intentions."

Sang Zhixia smiled and waved her hands: "I just want to make some extra money, not something that will be put on the table."

"But before the situation gets out of control, I need to put a hoop on these sprouts. Can you help me?"

Although Chen Anzhu was shocked by the ambition displayed by Sang Zhixia, he changed his mind and a smile of determination appeared on his lips.

"Since the boss trusts me, I will do my best."

"Then I'll leave it to you."

Sang Zhixia leaned back in her chair and smiled lazily, "With you helping me keep an eye on things, at least I can rest assured about this part of the northwest."

As for elsewhere...

Once unified control in the northwest is successful, we can copy it exactly.

As long as there is enough time, there is no need to worry about the future.

After visiting many shops in the city, it was already dusk.

After dinner, Sang Zhixia sat in the inner hall. No matter how Aunt Xu urged her several times, she refused to go to the backyard to rest. Until a firework exploded in the sky, Sang Zhixia's eyes clearly showed the traces of the scattered fireworks, and the corners of her eyes curled up silently.

Aunt Xu, who came to urge again, frowned dissatisfiedly: "You girl."

"It's already this late. Can't we talk about it tomorrow? Why do you insist on sitting here and waiting for someone?"

It's already late at night, who would come here at this time?

Sang Zhixia coughed, suppressing the smile in her eyes. She leaned against Second Aunt Xu, as if too lazy to get up. As Second Aunt Xu stared at her in feigned annoyance, she said, "Second Aunt, I heard your shop is running low on stock."

Second Aunt Xu was stunned for a moment, letting Sang Zhixia lean on her. She said calmly, "It's the end of the year now, and the heavy snow has blocked the roads, making travel inconvenient. I thought about waiting until spring to do it. What's wrong?"

"The Lunar New Year is coming soon. Do you have enough goods in the store?"

"What can we do if it's not enough?"

Second Aunt Xu poked Sang Zhixia's upturned forehead and said with a smile, "We've been busy for a year, and we don't have to worry about these three or two months. It's just right for us to take a break."

"That won't do."

Sang Zhixia covered the poked spot with her hands and smiled in an ambiguous manner. She closed her eyes and said slowly, "Your embroidery shop is doing brisk business. A delay of one or two days will cost you a lot of money. It's better to replenish the goods as soon as possible."

"The goods will probably be delivered tomorrow. Can you arrange for someone to clear out the warehouse as soon as possible?"

Aunt Xu blinked in confusion and was about to ask something, but before she could say anything, she saw Sang Zhixia put her index finger to her lips and let out a soft hushing sound.

"Second Aunt, why wouldn't you want something good that doesn't cost any money?"

Second Aunt Xu instinctively wanted to say that there was no such thing as a free gift, but then she suddenly became abrupt and looked strange: "Did you and Xu Yu go to rob?"

Xu Yu is really capable of doing such a thing!

Sang Zhixia couldn't help laughing and said, "You'll know when the time comes."
