Chapter 13 Every family has a difficult scripture to read
When faced with this situation, Yang Xuan could only sigh: "I have to suffer the consequences to save face."
These people are a group of people who have been deeply poisoned by Confucianism. Just because they are afraid of being criticized by others, they are timid in everything they do. In this way, how can business develop? How can a country become strong and prosperous?
Yang Xuan just sighed. He is just a businessman, and it is not his turn to express his opinions on national affairs.
There is a saying that goes well, if you don’t have the ability to change the environment, you can only adapt to the environment.
"Otherwise, why don't we just go to Qinhuai River?"
The Qinhuai River is ten miles away, and rich businessmen gather there. That place is a paradise for businessmen.
The Wende Bridge on the Qinhuai River, with the humble scholars in the Gongyuan study room on one side and the beauties in the red tents of the pavilions on the other, was the most prosperous and lively place in the entire Great Sage Dynasty.
With Yang Xuan's poor academic performance in history, it is natural that he has no idea what this Qinhuai River has in common with the Qinhuai River in history.
All he knew was that the land there was extremely valuable, and the few hundred taels of silver they had in their pockets might not be enough to open a shop there.
After all, Wei Ji Xian is a signature brand that he intends to build into a brand, and it must have a certain style to target the target customer group.
If the store is too small, there will be no cards, but if it is a whole big store, the money...
"No matter how many things there are, let's go over there and have a look first."
Yang Xuan made the decision, and Shopkeeper Zhou naturally had no objections. Anyway, what Shopkeeper Yang said was right.
Although Yingtian Mansion is noble in the north and cheap in the south, the Qinhuai River in the south of the city is the largest gold selling cave.
There are painted boats floating in the river, and there are shops on both sides of the river bank. Even in the daytime, there are still a lot of tourists.
Yang Xuan and shopkeeper Zhou walked along the river bank. Logically speaking, in such a prosperous place, shops are more popular, but they happened to encounter a closed shop, and the location was quite good.
There is a big sign on the door.
This is what renting means.
Yang Xuan quickly stepped forward and knocked on the door.
The person who opened the door was a maid. Although she was a maid, her clothes were expensive. Even ordinary women could not afford to wear such clothes.
Not to mention anything else, even shopkeeper Zhou's wife is not as luxuriously dressed as this maid.
Yang Xuan couldn't help but sigh, this is a real commercial district, a maid can dress up so fashionably.
After explaining the purpose of his visit, the maid Fu Yifu said: "You two have arrived just in time. Our lady is inside. You two can discuss with her face to face."
The rules of the Dasheng Dynasty were not that rigid. Although women could not enter officialdom, there were many who did business.
Most of the silk and satin shops and rouge and gouache shops are run by women.
Entering the shop, a woman was sitting upright at the table, with bright eyes and a pair of big eyes that seemed to be able to talk.
Yang Xuan couldn't help but feel a little surprised. To be honest, even before time travel, he had never been in close contact with such a beautiful woman.
"Both of you, please sit down."
"Xiao Cui, serve tea."
Not only is she beautiful, she is also quite imposing. A woman under twenty years old must have developed such an aura from childhood.
But Yang Xuan has never seen anything like this. He has long passed the state of overwhelming others with his momentum. Now he can be described in one sentence, that is, if he lets others be strong, the bright moon shines on the river.
Shopkeeper Zhou on the side, on the other hand, was already a little nervous at this time, with his buttocks only sitting a third of the way on the chair.
"Excuse me, Miss. What's your surname?" The title Miss made Yang Xuan feel a little awkward, but in this era, only women from wealthy families could be called Miss.
"The little girl's surname is Guan, Guan Yunrong." The beauty was so elegant that she even mentioned her maiden name.
"Yang Xuan."
"Zhou Changsheng."
The two of them bowed their hands in return.
"If you two came here to rent a shop, you may be disappointed." Guan Yunrong said straight to the point: "Due to changes in my family, I have to give up the business here and look for other development, so this shop will be sold out."
To redeem means to sell.
In response, Yang Xuan did not look disappointed, but directly asked: "How much is the price?"
Seeing that Yang Xuan didn't seem to be short of money, Guan Yunrong's eyes lit up: "The estimated price is three thousand taels of silver. You can ask me. This price is the cheapest in this area."
"Three thousand taels, it's not expensive."
In fact, Yang Xuan was just pretending. He hadn't done any research, so he didn't know whether the price was appropriate or not, but he knew the value of every inch of land.
"It's just that we will need more shops in the future, so we don't plan to invest a lot of money in this area for the time being."
Although there was no money in his pocket, Yang Xuan was able to show that he was not short of money, which made the shopkeeper Zhou next to him look stunned.
This is three thousand taels. Shopkeeper Zhou has never seen so much money at once in all his years of doing business.
"I don't know... Miss Guan, could you please tell me why we gave up the property here? You know, in our prosperous dynasty, there were not many places as prosperous as the Qinhuai River."
"It's nothing inconvenient. It's just poor management."
Guan Yunrong's family is a large textile manufacturer in Xijiang Prefecture. She has been exposed to business matters since she was a child. Since she took over the family business last year, the old shopkeepers who have been in business for many years are trembling in front of her, but the one in front of her is even worse than her.
The young man, who was one or two years younger, not only showed no restraint in front of her, but actually talked freely, which made her a little interested in Yang Xuan.
Of course, there is also the reason why Yang Xuan is more handsome.
In fact, strictly speaking, Yang Xuan is just more handsome and handsome, but his confident temperament is the biggest plus to his image.
In fact, regardless of men and women, although they need to be exquisite to be pleasing to the eye, the most important thing is temperament.
A man's temperament basically comes from one thing, and that is confidence.
Of course, confidence is not arrogance, but the aura of having everything under control.
Otherwise, no matter how handsome you are, you will only be a pretty boy.
As for our Miss Guan, she was attracted by Yang Xuan's temperament, and she talked too much without realizing it.
After listening to her talk about the reasons for poor management, Yang Xuan smiled slightly and said: "In business, there are always profits and losses, but Miss Guan, a strong man's determination to cut off her wrists, can be regarded as a woman."
According to Guan Yunrong, her family invested almost 20,000 taels of silver in the Qinhuai River, but it has been losing money for two years.
After Guan Yunrong took over, she was unable to turn losses into profits and had to withdraw in time to stop losses.
This was originally a shop selling silks and clothes, but now everything that needs to be sold has been sold. I originally wanted to keep this shop for a comeback in the future, but now I plan to give up and simply sell it.
"Young Master Yang is so complimentary. This little girl is not doing well in management. I'm really ashamed."
"But it was originally just a lease, so why did you suddenly change your mind and ask for an estimate?"
Yang Xuan changed the topic back again. He still wanted to win this shop: "Miss Guan doesn't seem like the kind of person who will collapse after suffering a small setback."
"Why……"
Miss Guan sighed faintly: "No matter how thoughtful Furong is, she is also a prostitute after all. My father and brother at home don't want me to show my face outside, so they urge me to return to my hometown."
Yang Xuan nodded silently and listened. What Miss Guan meant was that as a woman, she always wanted to get married. The reason why her family urged her to go back was because they didn't want a daughter who wanted to get married to occupy the family's property.
That’s all.
In fact, it is just a matter of competition for family property.
"Every family has a scripture that is difficult to recite."
Yang Xuan's words reached Guan Yunrong's heart again, and it was obvious that the other party understood the meaning of her words.
At this moment, Guan Yunrong suddenly had an idea in her mind. If she wanted to marry, someone like Mr. Yang in front of her would be considered a good match.
