On the tenth day of the lunar month, Chen Jinjun took the jade unicorn he had selected early and prepared to go to the Nian family's house.
Chen Jinjun remembers that when she was a child, Nian's business was already spread all over the country.
Xu Sheng went to the concierge and handed over a greeting card. Chen Jinjun looked at Nian's door.
Looking at the not-so-luxurious facade in front of her, she felt that Nian was not only a businessman, but also had unique taste. It was no wonder that Nian's signature pastries were praised by the extremely tricky-tongued Queen Mother of the West.
After a while, the closed door opened, and Chen Jinjun followed the servants inside. Along the way, the environment in the courtyard was quiet and peaceful, just like a Suzhou garden.
After a while, she saw the elegant old woman she had seen at the Chamber of Commerce banquet before Cai Ying.
She sat on the main seat and looked at Chen Jinjun: "Long time no see, Mr. Chen."
Chen Jinjun also bowed politely: "I've met Boss Nian."
"There is no need to be so formal. If my boss is willing to come to my house, my humble abode will really be full of glory."
Chen Jinjun smiled and said he didn't dare.
Boss Nian waved his hand and ordered someone to serve tea to Chen Jinjun.
Chen Jinjun looked at Boss Nian: "I'm here this time and I have brought you a gift. I don't know if it will catch your eye."
Xu Sheng stepped forward and placed the wooden box containing the jade unicorn on the table in front of Boss Nian.
"Jade Qilin?" Boss Nian looked at Chen Jinjun with a smile, "My boss is interested."
"It's just a coincidence. Boss Nian and I have a good understanding."
Boss Nian asked the maid to put away the wooden box. He looked at Chen Jinjun with a smile: "What is the reason for Mr. Chen's family coming here this time?"
"The first thing is to come and wish you a happy old age. The second thing is that I want to talk to you about the Grand Theater. I'm new here and I don't really know much about the customs and customs of Yongzhou.
.”
Chen Jinjun smiled awkwardly, looking like he was asking for advice humbly.
Boss Nian put down the tea cup in his hand: "Then I also wish my boss a happy New Year."
"As for the matter of the Grand Theater, I advise the owner to put more thought into it. After all, the owner has said that the workers this time will be refugees from outside the city. The refugees come from different places, and there are thousands of them that need to be coordinated."
Chen Jinjun nodded: "I thought of this at the time. I thought I would give it a go. Since we are going to build a theater, we might as well build the surrounding stores together. If we cooperate with each other, we will always be better than me, Chen Jinjun."
It’s easier for a man to fight alone.”
Boss Nian looked at Chen Jinjun with a somewhat probing look in his eyes: "Then what are you going to do? I'd really like to hear your boss's opinion."
"I dare not say it, Gao Jian," Chen Jinjun hurriedly smiled and waved his hand, "It's just that this matter is of great importance, so I just thought about it a few more steps."
"I plan to ask the government to approve the land in the south of the city, build a big theater in the middle, and make it into a garden style on both sides. The Lei family has a theater troupe that they have been cooperating with, and you have this world-famous sign, so I'm not afraid that I won't be able to build it."
When he talked about business matters, Chen Jinjun's eyes were dark and bright, full of moving brilliance.
Boss Nian nodded, with approval in his eyes: "Is there more?"
Chen Jinjun took a sip of tea and continued: "Since the people who built the theater are refugees from outside the city, the refugees can also settle down in Yongzhou City with the wages they are given, so most of the refugees who stay are relatively strong refugees.
The same thing happened when the theater finally opened
When we need manpower, these people naturally have a way to support their families. In the long run, not only do we have a complete industry, but even the workers in it are accounted for. Moreover, this matter is also for the sake of the peace of Yongzhou, and the government
It will be easier to handle over there."
Boss Nian looked at Chen Jinjun with a satisfied expression on his face.
When Chen Jinjun was talking endlessly about her business ideas in an attempt to win over the Nians to grow bigger together, Boss Nian interrupted her eloquent words with a sudden sentence.
Boss Nian sat on the main seat, looked at Chen Jinjun lovingly, and asked her: "Everyone knows that Chen Dong's fiancé died before they married, but they don't know if Chen Dong's family has any intention of remarrying?"
Chen Jinjun was stunned. She unconsciously remembered that on the first day of the Lunar New Year, the second wife told her that boss Nian had a son who was similar to her own age.
Seeing Chen Jinjun's stunned look, Boss Nian smiled and waved his hand: "I'm just looking at the talents of my employer. Wouldn't it be a pity if there is no one who knows how to appreciate them?"
Chen Jinjun stammered: "I have no intention of getting married. I just want to protect the Chen family's family business and don't lose in my hands."
Boss Nian looked at her firm expression and said nothing, his eyes swept behind the screen intentionally or unintentionally.
The maid behind the screen saw the look in her master's eyes and ran out in a hurry.
Boss Nian looked at Chen Jinjun: "The boss just said that once this theater is completed, can I, Nian, start preparing for a new store?"
Seeing that she got back to business, Chen Jinjun secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "Supposedly, yes, but we are a cooperative relationship. If Nian has any requirements for the store, we can make arrangements when building the house."
"Then I would like to ask Dong Chen's family, which companies have they agreed to cooperate with now?"
"Not many, currently it's just the Huo family, the Lei family, and myself." Chen Jinjun smiled, "Maybe these seem to be relatively few, but after all, this is not just about making money. The more people there are in the beginning, the easier it is to cause trouble.
I'm not happy, so I'm looking for you now because I value Nian's reputation."
Chen Jinjun kept his attitude very low, which gave Boss Nian enough face and vanity.
Boss Nian looked at Chen Jinjun and felt that he really liked this girl from the bottom of his heart and it would be even better if she could be his daughter-in-law.
"Then if I say that the Nian family cooperates with the boss, our Nian family may put forward more conditions."
"Tell me what you want, and I will definitely satisfy Nian's needs if I can."
Boss Nian looked at Chen Jinjun: "It's not a big deal, but we have many stores under Nian's name. If we cooperate, it will definitely be more than just a pastry shop. By then, it may seize the opportunity of other bosses to cooperate with the owner.
.”
Chen Jinjun doesn't care about this: "It's my great luck to cooperate with Nian's. Not to mention a few shops, even if you just want one of the four streets in my plan to open all Nian's shops, that's no problem."
Down."
This is the Nian family who is famous throughout the Qing Dynasty. He only runs a shop on one street. Who dares to say anything?
"Dr. Chen is so courageous." Boss Nian looked at Chen Jinjun and felt that he couldn't get enough of his chosen daughter-in-law.
