Madam Qu smiled and said, "Such a good business, why don't you pay Xianjin?"
Boss Shang waved his hand and said, "That girl can't eat. I'm in a hurry to get money to expand the store. That girl is too talkative. By the time she finishes her pie, I'll be starving to death!"
Old Madam Qu laughed, and portrayed Xianjin very vividly.
Madam Qu looked at Chen Laowu.
Chen Laowu smiled warmly, "...One is in urgent need of money, and the other is kind and generous. You should support the old family!"
Madam Qu nodded and told Boss Shang casually, "Then take the old boss and drive two ox carts to the warehouse to count tomorrow." She pointed casually and said, "Cash in cash, and transfer the cash from the account of the mulberry paper workshop."
Chen Laowu and Manager Dong agreed.
Madam Qu turned her eyes to the monk boss and smiled as she calculated the bill. "You need 1,200 taels. If you add the 500 taels that haven't been received yet, you only have 800 taels left. That leaves 400 taels. Where are you going to raise the money from?"
Boss Shang: Where else can I get it from? From your pocket!
Boss Shang showed an embarrassed look on his face, "To be honest, I have another business I want to do with you."
Madam Qu smiled and said, "You are planning to expand the store and ask Chen Ji to pay for the entire investment?"
Angel investment is coming! ?
Boss Shang waved his hands and said, "No, no, it's a great thing for you!"
Boss Shang immediately continued, "As far as I know, Chen's two shops in Jing County are both rented from the government office. There is no real shop under the name of Chen's that belongs to you!"
"As businessmen, we all know that it's best to have a shop under our own name. What if the other party doesn't want to rent it? Open it at home? Or open it on the street? Now the lease is signed quickly, but what about the future? Who can say for sure what will happen in the future!?"
Madam Qu's expression gradually became solemn.
That's the truth.
The shop in Jing County does not belong to the Chen family, and it has always been a concern for her.
As long as the shop's name is hung on the county government's head, they will be tenants for that day.
Although the rent is not high, you are still under the control of others!
But who can be the master of the county government?
Madam Qu narrowed her eyes, "Boss Shang, what do you mean?"
Boss Shang smiled confidently, "I can buy the shop you're currently renting. It doesn't matter if it's in your name or your son's name. As long as you pay, I'll do it for you."
Madam Qu leaned back, a little unconvinced, "You?"
Boss Shang smiled and said, "You can ask around. Who has printed the examination papers for the academy in Jing County since ten years ago? Who has printed the documents and files for the county government? Among the nine towns surrounding Jing County, what is the relationship between Qin Furen from Qinghe Town and me? What is the relationship between the head of the official school in Yebai Town and me? Why can my son become a ninth-rank official in the county government just because he passed the examination for a scholar? You have been in Xuancheng for too long and don't understand the ways of the world in small places. Sometimes, even if you have money but no connections, it's all in vain."
Boss Shang showed off his connections, took out a document from his pocket and pushed it in front of Madam Qu. "If you don't believe me, just take a look. My shop and workshop are all under my name. If you believe me, I'll leave this document with you. When I get it done for you, you can return it to me!"
Madam Qu reached out and took the document, flipped through it, and then looked at the man in front of her, who was measured, generous and honest. She pursed her lips and frowned, "How much silver do you want?"
Boss Shang made a five sign and said, "Five hundred taels - I won't make much money from you. Your shop is valuable in itself, so the selling price is three hundred taels. You have to give me some sweeteners and interest for the other two hundred taels, right? It costs money to have relationships, right? It costs money to treat guests to wine, right? Two hundred taels is not too much for me to take from you."
If I can buy the shop, giving an extra two hundred taels is nothing!
That is the Chen family’s root!
Old Madam Qu held the document in her hand and did not speak for a long time.
Chen Laowu was covered in cold sweat and was about to drown!
First it was five hundred taels, then another five hundred taels!
One thousand taels!
He has to pay one thousand taels himself!
Robbing money!
What does that mean!
He has to spit out all the money he took in!
Chen Laowu nervously looked at Madam Qu secretly, holding his breath, his eyes rolled, and finally spoke, "...If you are being too attentive for no reason, you are either a traitor or a thief. Sister-in-law, you...don't be fooled!"
Manager Dong immediately said with a smile, "This boss Shang is indeed very close to the county government - otherwise we wouldn't be able to find so many schools to buy all the red copybooks we have produced!"
Manager Dong continued, "I heard that the court wants to fill a vacant position. If a new person is going to take the position of Jing County Magistrate, it's no wonder that the current County Magistrate is looking for an opportunity to make money. Once someone really comes, it will be difficult for us to find a chance to buy the shop back!"
Chen Laowu had a deep smile on his face, and he looked at Manager Dong with a fierce look in his eyes, "Old Dong, you usually say you can't do anything and need to go home to recuperate, but now your mind is working very well!"
Manager Dong raised his eyes respectfully and said, "I dare not! I have followed the old lady for twenty-four years. Even if I really lie down, if the Chen family needs it, I can still squeeze some oil out of this body of this old slave."
"alright--"
Old Madam Qu spoke, and the bright red seal of the county government appeared on the document in her hand.
Her next words will determine whether the game can continue.
