Chapter 482

This Zhuang Qingning is more of a businessman than he imagined.

And he is a very capable businessman.

Cheng Ruize read carefully the terms listed in Zhuang Qingning's letter and had almost no objections, except for adding one more clause at the end.

It was a house in the county town that Cheng Ji gave to Zhuang Qingning.

"This courtyard belonged to a person who had business dealings with Chengji before. Because his business encountered problems and he was unable to make ends meet for a while, he wanted to buy a large amount of goods on credit from Chengji's herbal medicine store in order to win this business."

Cheng Ruize said, "In ordinary business, money is paid for goods. If you meet an old customer, it is a great honor to let him pay 80% and keep 20% to be paid next year. Almost no one will do business like this where the customer only pays on credit."

"But I trusted his character, and I was also very optimistic about this business, so I agreed that he only needed to pay a 20% deposit, and the rest would be paid next year. In the second year, this merchant's business was booming and he made a lot of money. After paying off the money for the goods, he bought two houses in the county town and gave them to me as a thank you."

"There is a slightly larger one, which is where I live now. There is also a smaller one not far away. Although it is not as spacious as this one, it is also cleaner and more elegant. Wait a minute and let Fang Hou take you to have a look."

Zhuang Qingning was stunned.

Compared with the yard where Cheng Ruize lives now, if it is said to be small, it is not that small.

The housing prices in the county town are much higher than those in the town. I am afraid that a house with a very good location and a spacious yard like this would cost several dozen taels, almost a hundred taels.

The matter of Ban Yuexiang had just been put into motion, but Cheng Ruize was so generous in taking action, it was really astonishing.

"Manager Cheng, you are too polite. There is no need to worry about the mansion for the time being. Let's wait until Ban Yuexiang's business picks up, then we can talk about it." Zhuang Qingning declined politely.

"It's only a matter of time. Shopkeeper Zhuang, there's no need to refuse." Cheng Ruize disagreed and was obviously very confident that Ban Yuexiang could make money.

"I seldom come to the county town at this time, so I really can't use it for the time being. I appreciate Manager Cheng's kindness, but let's talk about this house later."

There is no reward without merit. Even if Ban Yuexiang may make a fortune in the future, that is a matter for the future. It is not too late to talk about it later.

Seeing Zhuang Qingning's insistence, Cheng Ruize had no choice but to nod his head. "Since Shopkeeper Zhuang said so, then let's do as Shopkeeper Zhuang said. I'll ask Fang Hou and others to clean the house from time to time. If Shopkeeper Zhuang needs any help, just ask Fang Hou."

"Thank you, Manager Cheng."

The two discussed Ban Yuexiang's business for a while. Seeing that it was getting late, Zhuang Qingning stood up and said goodbye.

Cheng Ruize personally escorted Zhuang Qingning out of the yard and watched him go away. Then he turned back and took a sip of the newly refilled tea.

"Write down a copy of this recipe for future use, and give a copy to Shopkeeper Fang. Ask the incense-making master to try making it first. When he becomes proficient in it, send the incense to my eldest and second brothers."

Cheng Ruize ordered, "I will write a letter to Big Brother to explain the situation."

"Yes." Fang Hou nodded. After taking the prescription, he did not move. He hesitated for a long time before speaking with some difficulty, "Master, weren't you too hasty to send Manager Zhuang to his house just now?"

"If you want to repay the kindness of Shopkeeper Zhuang, then I will give you this house. It is reasonable. But if it is for business..."

"Although the shopkeeper of this village intends to reveal that she has other prescriptions, in the end, when it comes to business, you should not show your eagle until you see the rabbit. You can't just..."

He pounced on him regardless of the consequences.

Fang Hou didn't say the rest.

Cheng Ruize laughed and did not answer. Instead, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Has your young master ever done such a stupid thing before?"

"That's not the case..."

Fang Hou replied.

To be precise, Cheng Ruize is very cautious in doing things. Since he followed Cheng Ruize, Cheng Ruize has been quite talented in business and is unusually steady and cautious. It cannot be said that he has never made mistakes, but for people who do business, Cheng Ruize has already surpassed more than 90% of them.

But it is precisely because of this that Fang Hou is worried that if things go too smoothly, it will be easier for the hawk hunter to get pecked in the eye by the hawk.

Seeing Fang Hou's face full of confusion, Cheng Ruize did not keep him in suspense and explained with a smile, "I won't hide it from you. It's not because of what Shopkeeper Zhuang said, nor is it because of Shopkeeper Zhuang's favor. It's because of the recipe of Ban Yuexiang itself."

"Although the Ban Yue Xiang has not started selling yet, it seems that everything is still unknown, but I can be sure that the Ban Yue Xiang will be a big seller. To put it bluntly, this mansion will be given away sooner or later. In this case, it is better to give it away earlier, which will also show our sincerity."

Seeing Cheng Ruize's confidence, Fang Hou was confused, but he absolutely believed in Cheng Ruize's judgment, so he didn't say anything more about it, and just advised, "Master, it's windy outside, let's go to the warm room for a while."

"Or, can I get you a hand warmer to warm you up?"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"No need, I think it's just right." Cheng Ruize said with a smile, "I was either sitting or lying in the house a few days ago, and the heating was too warm. I felt drowsy all day and had no energy at all. Now that I'm feeling the breeze, I feel refreshed."

"This is too warm and makes people slack off. It's really true."

"But what you are wearing is too thin. What if you get sick again?"

A soft voice sounded.

Cheng Ruize was startled, and when he looked up he saw a gentle face full of smiles, yet anxious and worried.

"Mother." Cheng Ruize exclaimed, and quickly walked over to greet her, "My son greets you, mother."

"Hurry up and get up. You are still sick, so you can't kneel down at any time." Li reached out and helped Cheng Ruize up. She caressed his slightly cold hands with a doting look in her eyes. "Look, you are wearing such thin clothes that your hands are a little cold."

"Hurry up and get the hand warmer to warm Ze'er up."

"Yes, I'll go right away." Fang Hou went there quickly.

He had just reminded Cheng Ruize that his clothes were thin, and asked him to go back to the warm room to warm up as soon as possible. At the very least, he should put on a cloak and hold a hand warmer, but Cheng Ruize just wouldn't listen.

Now that the lady is here, if his young master doesn’t want to take care of himself, someone will be keeping an eye on him.

Fang Hou was delighted and quickly ordered the servant to make tea for Li.
