In the end, Uncle Fu still didn't take Chen Xian's money. He said that as long as Gu Er took the bait, there would be no need for anyone to pretend to buy it.
You can also have the staff remove it.
As for the remaining money, Chen Xian began to plan how to acquire Gu's fabric at a low price, which required spare cash.
After listening, Chen Xian readily agreed.
Before I knew it, I had walked to the vicinity of Chen's food stall.
The surrounding vendors kept greeting the Chen family.
A deep male voice suddenly came from over.
"The Chen family is good in every way, except for the unlucky woman they've been entangled with. Mr. Chen, do you think I'm right?"
But then they saw a middle-aged man sitting in the carriage, expressionless, lifting one side of the curtain. He looked barely human, staring straight ahead, his voice flat.
A knowledgeable person whispered, "Master Gu, is there a conflict between Boss Chen and the Gu family?"
Some people silently shook their heads.
You might not be able to solve a problem by asking these gentry for help, but they can easily trip you up with a little trick.
Yes, in a certain professional field, it's far better to find a powerful person like a county magistrate or assistant county magistrate than a local gentry who has been entrenched in the town for decades, as they have direct access to the entire township.
There were marriage alliances and friendships between people from all walks of life.
Even the county magistrate wouldn't dare to act rashly.
After all, in many situations, the gentry need to fund events; they are like walking money bags. It would be unwise to offend such people.
Chen Xian glanced at him expressionlessly, then quietly walked away.
Gu Junshan, feeling awkward, chuckled lightly: "That lust-blinded fellow is gone."
Some vendors tried to persuade Chen Xian to back down, but seeing that Chen Xian's face was calm and composed, they suddenly shut up.
Chen Xian calmly said, "I haven't been feeling well lately, thank you all for your concern, but I won't be coming to the food street to do business in the near future."
The vendors sighed in dismay.
You're still too young. There's nothing wrong with asking for help.
He shook his head and went about his business.
...
Baiweilou.
Young Master Gu ordered a table full of dishes and said with a gentle smile, "Sixth Brother, try the local specialties, especially the gourd chicken and braised pork, they are absolutely amazing."
Mei Liulang nodded slightly.
"I wonder how Brother Gu's business is doing?"
Young Master Gu chuckled.
"It's alright, but I'm thinking of opening another big store. I was wondering if Brother Mei could lend me some money?"
Mei Liulang said calmly, "Do you know my rules?"
"I get it, hehehe!"
Mei Liulang carefully pulled out a contract from his pocket, and his eyelids twitched.
Good heavens, it really is the store lease of the Gu Family Head Office on South Street.
The more I look at Gu Er, the cuter he becomes.
He looks like a little fool.
He feigned calmness and asked, "I wonder how much silver the second young master intends to pledge?"
"Two thousand taels?"
Mei Liulang said calmly, "I've stayed in Daxing Town for too long. I can't stay any longer. That's fine, but I need ten days. If you can't send the money over within ten days, I'll just sell it to you!"
In addition to the cloth shop deed, I also need the cloth in the family warehouse, which I must mortgage to me at the same price.
Gu Erwei felt something was amiss.
"So eager?"
Mei Liulang calmly said to him, "If you ask me, Second Young Master, there is no need for you to mortgage the cloth shop anymore. As long as you make some achievements in Yingzhou Prefecture, you can show Master Gu what you're capable of."
Talk to him and ask him to give you some money to redeem the cloth shop on North Street. From now on, you will be in charge of the Gu family!
There's absolutely no need for that.
Gu Er pondered for a moment.
Mei Liulang was slightly taken aback. Damn it, would this grandson really listen to advice?
Gu Er: "That makes sense!"
Mei Liulang: "!"
Then, Young Master Gu calmly said, "But I'm not convinced. I want to do something big and show my father! I also have a talent for doing business."
"Liu Lang is quite the schemer! He even wants the fabric from my warehouse."
Mei Liulang cupped his hands and said, "Business is business!"
"good!"
"Second Young Master, what courage you have!"
Young Master Gu: "I want to buy some fabric from the fabric store, what do you think?"
Mei Liulang shook his head and said, "Why bother? Why don't you just intercept those orders from individual cloth merchants that are about to be returned?"
"You can easily snatch a few hundred horses, isn't that enough for your temporary needs?"
Young Master Gu: "Are you trying to damage the reputation of the Gu family?"
"No, the second young master has already almost broken ties with the old master, so what difference does a little more make?"
Damn it! There's actually a bit of twisted logic to it.
Mei Liulang coaxed, "Anyway, the old man has a good reputation in the town, so delaying it for a while is no big deal. You can get a batch of goods for free without spending a penny!"
Use goods from Gujia Fabric Store to fulfill your ambitions.
Either way, you've come out on top.
Young Master Gu was initially very conflicted.
Yes, the fabric store had pre-arranged orders from individual customers, which were quietly lying in the warehouse.
I dare not move!
But I thought that sooner or later I would have to break with my father and establish a new Gu family!
Prove yourself!
Besides, getting something for free is really tempting!
Damn it! I'll drink it.
Sign the contract quickly!
Mei Liulang said calmly, "Ten days. If the Second Young Master doesn't see me for ten days, I'll just sell the cloth shop!"
"knew!"
"I need a chance to prove myself! Ten days will be enough!"
Thinking about the flow of customers, if you open a large fabric store, you can get in a hundred or so people a day and sell at least fifty bolts of fabric a day, which would amount to 1,500 bolts a month, which is an astonishing number.
I found a partner.
They smashed open the warehouse and arranged for the镖局 (security escort agency) to load hundreds of bolts of fabric, including 浮光锦 (Fuguang Jin) and 散花霖 (Sanhua Lin), onto carts.
Dozens of people moved extremely quickly, grabbing the cloth and running.
