Chapter 483 Shop
The Rong'an Marquis Mansion said that it was a shop for Xu Zhichun, and it really was a shop.
None of the shopkeepers or clerks were left behind for her, and all the things in the shop were moved out completely, leaving nothing but an empty shell.
The wife of the Marquis of Rong'an was full of sarcasm. She sneered at everyone around her, saying, "Just because she sees others opening shops and making money, does she think she can do the same? What does she think the capital is? If it weren't for her good fortune, she wouldn't even be worthy of touching the ground in the capital. She wouldn't even have a place to stand here! I want to see what tricks she can come up with. Does she really think that just because she has a shop, she can sit back and wait for wealth to come her way? What a joke."
Nanny Yu, Chunliu, Chunyan and others also agreed with her and joined in the fun and laughter.
Nanny Yu and the others were not only trying to please their master, but were also waiting to see a joke.
There are many rich people in the capital, and those who really know how to make money can indeed make money, but there are also some who lose everything by ruining their own businesses.
That Xu was too self-righteous. She was jealous of the shop in the Marquis' Mansion and dared to take it.
She thinks doing business is so easy? Naive! What a joke!
Little did Xu Zhichun know that the empty shops were exactly what he wanted.
That’s great, it saves her the trouble of cleaning up.
It just happened to be ready-made and could be arranged the way she wanted.
She planned to connect the three shops and use them to sell rouge, powder, perfume, some exquisite decorative items, etc.
These things are the most profitable and women like them.
If someone needs something special, she can register and help them find it.
Of course, it is easy to find, her channel is her warehouse space.
What do you want?
Now that she has Liang Minglang's support, she doesn't even need to be too afraid.
As for the shopkeepers and clerks, she asked Housekeeper Zhang to find people. She would interview and sign contracts personally. In such a big city like Beijing, there was no problem finding suitable employees.
The Rong'an Marquis's Mansion took away all the staff, not even leaving a handyman for her, which was exactly what she wanted.
If they left someone behind, she wouldn't know how to accommodate them.
She was worried about the people who stayed in Rong'an Marquis' Mansion.
If they are laid off, they will have to be paid a sum of money, which is not cost-effective no matter how you look at it.
No matter what Xu Zhichun planned to do with the shop, Liang Minglang agreed. He did not ask her about the purchasing channels. He just said that it was fine for her to have her own ideas and to ask him if she needed any help. He supported his wife unconditionally.
Lu Yin happened to have nothing to do, so Xu Zhichun pulled her along and started to work on it.
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Meng came to visit again. She was eloquent and said a lot of things. Her ultimate goal was: she wanted to do business with Xu Zhichun. Xu Zhichun only needed to provide the three shops and she would arrange the manpower.
"Sister Xu, just hand over those three shops to me. You don't have to worry about anything else. Just wait for the dividends and money every year! No matter how much you earn, we'll split it in half."
Mrs. Meng spoke with a generous expression, as if she was willing to suffer a great loss and let Xu Zhichun take advantage of her.
Xu Zhichun was too weak to complain and couldn't bear to refute her.
How could she say such shameless words?
Xu Zhichun declined.
Madam Meng's repeated persuasion was in vain, and she became a little anxious. "I don't know what Sister Xu is still hesitating about. You just arrived in the capital, how can you know the situation here? This shop can't just open and make money. There are so many tricks inside, and I can't explain it to you in a short time. I'm not afraid to tell you the truth. If you rush in without knowing the tricks, you might not only fail to make money, but also lose the shop. Even worse, if someone sets you up, I'm afraid it will also implicate the Marquis. This is no joke."
"You know nothing and can't run a business. Instead of handing this shop over to someone else, why not give it to me? At least I won't cheat you. Sister, don't you trust me? If you can't trust me, can you also not trust the relationship between our general and the marquis? They are good brothers."
"Or is it that my sister is still angry with me and blaming me? I already know I was wrong, is that not enough?"
“.”
Mrs. Meng spoke earnestly, sighed, and felt jealous and hateful in her heart.
Why is it that the Xu family has such a good life?
Marquis Wuxuan was not joking and actually kept her.
It was Liang Mingxuan who was kidnapped, not her. She was unharmed and got three such good shops.
Marquis Wuxuan was so confident that he handed the shop over to her and let her manage it.
That’s a shop on East Second Street!
Why couldn't she have such a good thing happen to her?
However, if she could manage this shop, it would be good. As for how much money she made by then, wouldn't she have the final say?
Xu? What could she understand?
I'm afraid she had never even seen silver bills or silver ingots before coming to Beijing.
No matter what Mrs. Meng said, Xu Zhichun refused to give in.
"I already have plans for this shop, no need to say more."
"I wonder what my sister's plans are?"
"Keep it secret for now."
"But--"
"Mrs. Meng, please go back."
Madam Meng still refused to give up, and Lu Yin could no longer bear it. "Madam Meng, my sister said she already has plans for this shop. The Marquis Wuxuan's mansion has no shortage of money to invest, and the Marquis Wuxuan is certainly not stingy. So everything Madam Meng considers for my sister is actually not a problem for my sister. Madam Meng, do you have anything else to say?"
Mrs. Meng's face looked very ugly, and she looked at Xu Zhichun suddenly, as if to signal Xu Zhichun to make the decision for her.
Xu Zhichun pretended not to notice and laughed at her in his heart for being so clueless. She might have forgotten what happened in Leshan Marquis's Mansion, but he had not forgotten himself. She was not so confused as to not be able to tell the difference between relatives and strangers.
Mrs. Meng left with a dark face and very angry.
When I got back, I couldn't help but complain.
General Meng was also angry and couldn't help but look for Liang Minglang. Liang Minglang said a few vague words and ignored him.
We're not on the same page anymore, so why are we still pretending? It's because those three stores are so prestigious that the couple made the special trip to visit them.
With sufficient manpower and money, Xu Zhichun's new store opened soon.
The new store now stocks a number of Western perfumes, a number of exquisite glass ornaments, and a number of dazzling pearls, agates, tourmalines, turquoises, beeswax, crystals and other jewelry.
There are also sandalwood combs, sandalwood fans, Western fabrics with exquisite patterns, and beautiful and small handmade soaps.
There were also 500 tubes of the rarest items - tubes of lip balm from the West, in a dozen colors, beautiful and delicate, making people dazzled. Each tube cost 50 taels of silver. Some young ladies and ladies bought five tubes at a time, loving them very much, and sales were extremely hot.
