Chapter 555 A Thief Has Come Out of the House
Xiao Nuobao was wearing shiny little leather shoes, a white fox scarf, and woolen gloves that looked like big tiger claws, making her look fluffy, like a big cotton ball.
As soon as she jumped to the ground, she looked in front of her in surprise.
"Fifth brother, is this where you want to sell department stores? But it's too shabby." The little fat girl tilted her head and said.
Feng also looked up.
Unexpectedly, the shop Feng Miao chose was actually a big inn that had been closed for a long time.
Even the sign in front of the door was broken and shabby.
Seeing everyone's confusion, Feng Miao smiled, "Mom, sister, I spent 1,200 taels to buy this inn."
"Don't just think that it's not doing well as an inn, but it has a good location. Look carefully at both sides!" Little Feng Miao said excitedly.
This inn is not only a prosperous place, but also the intersection of East Street and West Street.
East Street is mainly for teahouses and snack shops.
West Street sells treasures, fabrics, rouge and powder.
The department store opened here can just take advantage of both businesses. As long as the customers visit here, they don't have to go to other places!
"This inn doesn't make money, mainly because most people here eat, drink and have fun, and there are no hotels around. It opened here alone thinking it could dominate the market, but the price was too high and it scared people away."
"But it has one good thing, that is, there are enough rooms inside, so it's the most suitable place for us to sell department stores!" Feng Miao continued to chuckle.
Seeing her son's success, Feng couldn't help but sigh in her heart, this little monkey has really grown up.
In the blink of an eye, he can stand on his own.
I don't know if this child is naturally gifted or if the business trip really tempered him. Feng's heart was filled with relief, but also a little sad.
The sons gradually grew from small saplings to big trees that could stand on their own in the wind and rain. There is strength in numbers, and the foundation of their Jiang family is becoming more and more stable.
But she, as a mother, seems to be not so useful, and she almost has no room to make plans for the children...
Seeing that her mother's face was a little lonely, Feng Miao touched the back of her head and hurried forward to hug her arms.
"Hehe, mother, but don't think I'm talking beautifully, but if the shop is really opened, it may not make a lot of money. Once I lose money, you will have to pay money to help me clean up the mess." Feng Miao took the initiative to "show weakness" so that her mother would have some sense of participation.
How could Feng not know that this was a consolation, but she still accepted it.
She tapped her son's forehead deliberately, and put on her motherly airs, "If that day really comes, I will take you home. Don't go anywhere, just stay by my side and do the accounting."
Feng Miao grinned, showing his gap teeth, and rubbed against her affectionately, "That's not bad, I'll wait for
you to support me for the rest of my life." At this time, he thought of something else, "By the way, mother, I have another idea, you can help me, I plan to count the dividends from the department store as 100%."
"My sister paid the most, 30%. Although my master didn't get involved, I was able to do business properly because she led me on, so I plan to give her 20% as well." Feng Miao's face became serious.
As the saying goes, one should remember the well digger when drinking water.
Although Madam Xiao only wanted to sell the goods brought back from the Great Wall through the department store, and then the two sides could split the profits 50-50.
But Feng Miao could never forget his teacher's kindness, so he still had to give dividends.
Of the remaining 50%, he wanted 30%, and his mother and brothers and sisters-in-law took 20%.
Feng's eyes were filled with joy, "Very good, even if we don't repay a drop of water with a spring, we should at least give more, otherwise we will be cold-hearted. Of course, your mother is happy, and the friendship between Madam Xiao and our family is worth the 30% dividend."
Their mother and mother were discussing, and Xiao Nuobao was a little restless, so he looked around.
At this time, complaints from two men came from the pastry shop not far away.
"I heard that Wuyun Taxue is selling out again today? It's so weird, what is that thing made of!"
"If I can get the recipe, it's worth it even if I pay a thousand gold coins. It's a pity that the Jiang family only wants to eat for themselves. Whether it's Xiao Jiuchongtian or Shuipuzi, those people who do things are so tight-lipped, bah!"
Xiao Nuobao was slightly unhappy, and the two eyebrows on his forehead also twisted into caterpillars.
The recipe is the basis for making money.
If I don't keep it for myself, do I have to tell them and grab the business together?
In this world, jealousy is rampant. If I use the time to complain about others to improve my craftsmanship, I won't worry about not making money.
After returning home, Xiao Nuobao simply stayed at home to accompany Xiao Naipiao, so as to avoid going out to the street to listen to those sour words.
As for Feng Miao, he quickly let go, decorated the shop, and began to attract merchants.
At first, when people outside heard that he was going to open a department store, they all laughed at him.
They thought it was just nonsense.
"When doing business, you have to do it the same way. How can you mix all your businesses together?"
The merchants who went to the customs market together before could not help but look down on him.
"Our goods from the frontier are easy to sell. Why do you have to do this?"
"He is still a child. Let him mess around. When he gets a bloody head, he will know what pain is. Haha."
However, these idle words did not shake Feng Miao at all.
Instead, he crossed his arms and shook his head, saying, "Summer insects can't talk about ice."
If you want to expand your business, you have to have a big picture and know how to look three steps ahead when playing chess.
If you are happy just because you have goods to sell and they sell well, then you are not a businessman. It would be better to set up a stall on the roadside or carry a shoulder pole to hawk your goods, and be a peddler or a hawker.
The Jiang family was worried that Feng Miao would be depressed, but seeing that he was still determined, everyone felt relieved.
Old Madam Xiao was also very pleased. It was obvious that Feng Miao was a rare talent.
She came to the Jiang family that day, sat on the couch and smiled, "Feng Miao was only smart before, but now he has become calm and accomplished. It seems that I can rest assured and hand over the shop and money to this kid to take care of, and I can rest assured to take care of him in my old age."
Xiao Nuobao rolled over from the couch, climbed onto Old Madam Xiao's legs and smiled.
"Grandma Xiao, don't just talk about your fifth brother. You still have me. I can take care of you in your old age."
As she spoke, she leaned on her radish-like arms, put her hands on Madam Xiao's neck, and smacked her lips.
Feng deliberately teased, "Let's put it this way, when Madam Xiao gets older, I don't know how much money this girl can give, but Big Baji will definitely provide enough!"
When Baji was mentioned, the whole family took it as a joke, and even Madam Xiao laughed, her hands trembling with joy as she was sewing.
Whenever she was with Li Qiqiao, she either studied food or thought about some new embroidery patterns.
The little fat girl listened with a smile, rolled around on the quilt, knowing that as long as a new embroidery pattern came out, she could add another small blouse or flowery skirt. Seeing that
it was almost noon, Li Qiqiao got up, put down her needlework, and went to the kitchen to give instructions.
"Mrs. Xiao, why don't you come with me? I can teach you how to make Wuyun Treading Snow, and you can eat it by yourself in the mansion in the future." Li Qiqiao said kindly.
Mrs. Xiao was very happy and immediately took her arm.
However, just as they left the house, a shout suddenly came over!
