Chapter 184: So Unlucky
Feng Yuandong and Feng Yuanhao were still chatting about the workshop in the carriage on their way back.
"If this workshop goes smoothly, the annual income will be at least this amount." Feng Yuanhao stretched out his hand, gestured to Feng Yuandong, and said with a smile, "It may be more profitable than all the previous cloth shops."
"This Miss Su is really quick-witted. She can actually think of this." Feng Yuanhao sighed again.
Feng Yuandong laughed, "I often heard Madam Zhou praise Miss Su before. Now that I have met her, I know that seeing is believing. Being quick-witted is one thing, but the most important thing is the courage to make a decision."
Thinking about it is one thing, but daring to do it is another.
Feng Yuanhao nodded repeatedly, "Indeed, doing business requires skill and courage, and it is even more important to seize opportunities. We can't waste time right now. I will sign this contract with Miss Su tomorrow, and we have to do everything else as soon as possible."
Clean up the workshop, purchase looms and spinning machines, and hire spinning and weaving craftsmen... There is still a lot to do, and everything has to be done quickly.
A profitable business should never be postponed.
Seeing his brother working with great enthusiasm, Feng Yuandong nodded and said, "Since this matter is handed over to you, just go ahead and do it well."
If anything goes wrong or things don't go smoothly, the Feng family will back you up, so there's no need to be afraid.
The two brothers have always had a harmonious relationship, and the eldest brother is also very biased. Feng Yuanhao nodded excitedly and began to think about what to do next.
Without wasting a single day, Feng Yuanhao came to Su Yujin the next day to sign the contract, accepted Su Yujin's investment, called in qualified craftsmen to measure the loom, and began to purchase the necessary equipment.
Seeing Feng Yuanhao busying himself and gradually finalizing a profitable business, Su Yujin felt more at ease.
Su Yujin invested four thousand taels of silver to invest in the weaving workshop this time.
After taking inventory of her own small treasury, Su Yujin carefully calculated what was left. In addition to some jewelry and ornaments, there was about four or five thousand taels of silver in cash.
Money will not produce any results if it is just sitting there, and she doesn't spend much on a daily basis. In Su Yujin's opinion, if the money is not used for investment or to buy property, it would be a disgrace to the essence of money.
But I just invested in this weaving workshop, and business opportunities are something that you can only come across by chance...
Su Yujin thought about it and stepped into the dental clinic again.
After listening to Su Yujin's request, Shopkeeper Sun scratched his head and said, "Miss Su wants to buy an orchard. This is not difficult, but it requires a small river and a hillside. This kind of place near the mountains and water is not easy to find."
"There are hills and gentle slopes to the west of the county town, which are suitable for growing various fruit trees. However, they all have owners, and the owners may not necessarily sell them. You can only go and ask."
"Based on the relationship between our two families, since Miss Su has asked, I will definitely go and find out. However, this may not be successful. I will try my best, but Miss Su should not hold out too much hope..."
After all, this is something that can only be encountered by chance and cannot be forced. Su Yujin naturally understands this. "Please trouble Shopkeeper Sun to ask around. I am not in a hurry here. If there is one, that would be great. If there is none, an orchard with a good location, clear and comfortable is also possible."
By then, a large orchard will be full of green trees in the summer and full of fruits in the harvest season. You can taste the fruits at any time while enjoying the pastoral scenery leisurely, which will add a bit of leisure and comfort compared to a farm.
Just thinking about it, Su Yujin felt extremely comfortable, and she became more and more eager to own such a place.
"Okay." Shopkeeper Sun had a rough idea in his mind and quickly agreed.
"Yes, Manager Sun, do you do business outside the province?" Su Yujin suddenly asked.
"Miss Su means..."
"Houses and mansions in other places? For example, in Jiangsu and Zhejiang?"
Su Yujin likes houses with flowing water and small bridges the most, and also likes the graceful and charming misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River. If she could have a house by the water in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas, it would be a great enjoyment.
"I don't have any, but people like us who run the dental business often exchange information with other shopkeepers, and occasionally we can find out some good stuff."
Especially since Qinghe is adjacent to the capital, some wealthy businessmen or officials who do not want to show up in the capital will specially ask their managers to come to Qinghe to list some houses and lands.
There are many things from wealthy areas among them.
"Then Shopkeeper Sun, please keep an eye out for me. If there is a good one, please keep it for me. It doesn't have to be too big. I am alone with two servants, so a house with one entrance is enough. If it is larger but not expensive, you can also consider it."
If a suitable orchard could be found, it would probably cost several thousand taels of silver, and Su Yujin might not have that much cash.
Although he needed to purchase some real estate in multiple places so that all his eggs would not be put in one basket and it would also be convenient for him to travel around and have a look around in the future, Su Yujin did not want to spread his money too thin and make his life tight.
"I understand what you mean, Miss Su. Don't worry, I will pay attention to it." Shopkeeper Sun readily agreed and asked his trusted assistant to write it down separately to avoid omissions.
Su Yujin was trying hard to plan here, and Lu Wenjing was also trying hard to find out.
When he knew that He Yanxiu had been very busy these days and had no time to go home, he began to think about going to Qinghe.
After all, the weather is getting colder day by day. If it snows again, we will not be able to go out for a long time. Moreover, after winter comes, the women in the backyard have nothing to do, so they are always finding ways to hold various small banquets.
Whether it's appreciating plum blossoms, appreciating snow, enjoying the cold winter, or writing warm poems... no matter what, you can always find reasons.
As she was getting older, her family wanted her to go out more often, firstly so that she could make more friends, meet more ladies from famous families, and learn their own rules; secondly, so that more people could see her, and it would be easier to find a good marriage for Lu Wenjing.
Once these things started, they were completely hindered, so Lu Wenjing thought of taking advantage of the free days to quickly satisfy her appetite.
So Lu Wenjing packed up her things, not even taking any servants with her, and prepared to ride a horse to secretly look for Lu, and invited her aunt to go with her.
As a result, before they even reached the He family, Lu Wenjing saw He Yanxiu's carriage at the corner of the street.
Are you so unlucky?
Lu Wenjing hurriedly pulled the reins, urged the horse under her crotch, and prepared to change direction.
"Am I a tiger? Why do I hide when I see you?"
After being called, Lu Wenjing had no choice but to go to the carriage.
I am still obsessed with watching the 1987 version of Dream of the Red Chamber. I just watched Apricot Curtains in Sight and I just felt it was wonderful~ (End of this chapter)
