Qian Ruoyu asked again.
"What about Ruyi Bank? Is it related to Ruyi Bank?"
The chief shopkeeper shook his head again.
After seeing him shaking his head twice, Qian Ruoyu felt puzzled again.
Is it possible that Dahonglou, the largest restaurant in the capital, has no connection with Ruyi Money House and the Beijing Chamber of Commerce?
Such a large restaurant is located opposite the Beijing Chamber of Commerce. Is there no help from the Beijing Chamber of Commerce at all?
"Boss, you are not kidding, are you?"
"Your Red Mansion is so large, with so many people and well-known throughout the capital, don't you need any Chamber of Commerce or money houses to help you?"
But after hearing what Qian Ruoyu said, the shopkeeper just laughed.
"Princess, please forgive me!"
"Ruyi Bank and the Beijing Chamber of Commerce have indeed mentioned to us many times that they want to buy our Red Building! But the price they offered is beyond their reach. Although the first floor of our Red Building looks very large and there aren't many things on it, it's almost all decorated with exquisite items!"
"The cost of the first floor alone has reached 600,000 taels of silver!"
When he heard the amount of one hundred thousand taels of silver, even Qian Ruoyu couldn't help but be shocked.
But Qian Ruoyu knew very well in her heart that he was not joking.
Because she knew very well what the situation was like on the first floor. The sixteen large pillars on the first floor alone were all made of one piece and were obviously purchased from Xichuan.
Just one large wooden pillar would probably cost more than 10,000 taels of silver!
And those tables were almost all solid wood tables, the chairs were solid wood, and even the tableware was extremely exquisite. Saying that 600,000 taels was obviously not enough.
"And the decoration on our second floor is even more different. It would cost at least three million silver coins. There are even many decorative fabrics that are almost the same as those in the imperial palace, which is extremely precious!"
"How can these two little guys, the Beijing Chamber of Commerce and Ruyi Bank, compare to them!"
But the more the shopkeeper said this, the more Qian Ruoyu wondered, if that was the case, who was the boss behind the Dahonglou?
Qian Ruoyu did not avoid the question and asked directly.
"Master Boss, there is one thing I must say. Who is the boss behind your Red Mansion? Do I have the right to know?"
Hearing this, the shopkeeper chuckled and spoke very casually.
"Why don't you know this? If you ask around in Beijing, you will find out everything. We have three bosses behind us, and none of them are from Beijing."
"The three bosses are all wealthy businessmen with tens of millions of silver taels of silver. They live in three different places and each has their own business to manage. Their business is also very big. It is even said that they have more than a dozen large merchant ships overseas!"
After hearing these words, Qian Ruoyu was truly shocked.
This is called being the richest man in the world.
Small businesses like Ruyi Money House and Beijing Chamber of Commerce are indeed completely different from the three big bosses behind the Dahonglou, and Qian Ruoyu can see that the head shopkeeper is not joking with her.
No wonder Da Honglou was not afraid at all, and the head shopkeeper didn't care at all and told me about Li Qianfeng's affairs in Ruyi Money House. But even so, Qian Ruoyu still wanted to make friends with the three big bosses behind the scenes.
At the same time, Qian Ruoyu could not directly express her intentions. Instead, she planned to start with the chief shopkeeper, get to know him first, and develop a close friendship with him.
Therefore Qian Ruoyu said directly.
"I never thought that this Red Mansion actually had such a profound background. It seems that I was too rude! It must not be a simple thing for you to become the Red Mansion's chief manager. Your background must be very, very extraordinary, right?"
After hearing what Qian Ruoyu said, the shopkeeper smiled again.
He said very calmly.
"You are joking again, Princess!"
"I am just an ordinary person. Twenty years ago, when the Red Mansion was first established, it was not a big restaurant, but just a very, very small inn. The three bosses were also there at that time."
"At that time, they openly recruited a shopkeeper in the capital and the money they offered was not much. They also said that I was the only one who needed work in the entire inn. It was because of this that many people who wanted to be shopkeepers were eliminated."
"But since I had just arrived in the city and was in urgent need of a job that paid some money, I agreed to come in and worked hard every month. After almost a year, the three big bosses finally revealed their identities to me and thought that everything I did in this inn was very good, so they decided to let me be the head shopkeeper."
"They spent nearly 10 million taels of silver in one year, transporting all kinds of wood, stone and other materials from all over the country to build such a magnificent red building!"
After hearing what he said, Qian Ruoyu was a little surprised. She never thought that the experience of the shopkeeper would make people feel so amazing.
It seems that he had to pass the test of three big bosses before he could stay here as the head shopkeeper. He really has no status and is very approachable.
The fact that Dahonglou has become the largest restaurant in the capital today is probably closely related to its chief manager.
After thinking about this, Qian Ruoyu felt that the shopkeeper was a talent and that they had an extremely necessary connection. He needed to become friends with him, so Qian Ruoyu asked again.
"Boss, it seems that your experience is indeed very extraordinary. I didn't expect that you have also suffered a lot, and now the development of this big restaurant is inseparable from you."
"I never thought that you are such a person, Chief Shopkeeper. By the way, do you have any troubles? If you do, I am willing to help you solve them."
After hearing what Qian Ruoyu said, the chief shopkeeper smiled bitterly helplessly.
"Thank you for your kindness, Princess! Although I know that you do have some powerful connections, I'm afraid you can't help me with my affairs."
When Qian Ruoyu heard him say this, she knew something was up.
This meant that he really needed help, so what kind of thing did he need his help with? This made Qian Ruoyu confused for a moment, so he asked immediately.
"Please tell me anything you want to say!"
