Five hundred and seventy-four chapters, the gentleman does not take people's favor (seeking the moon)
Hearing Consort Lin's words, "The price is five thousand taels for you," Li You couldn't help but be stunned. He reached into his arms with one hand and touched the banknotes with the body temperature of two people and a total face value of five thousand taels. He thought horribly.
He said, Consort Lin revealed his true identity in one breath, does he have clairvoyance?
All he wanted to do was use the Taisheng Coal Shop to help fuel the coal market. He didn't want to become a shareholder by investing in stocks. But if he wanted to go in this direction, a large ready-made shop was quite tempting.
Taisheng Coal Shop made a wrong bet and can no longer survive among the coal merchants. Now it seems that it is just waiting to close down. But this is God's will to kill him, and it is not a crime of war. Now he may change his face today, but others don't
You know, Prince Consort Lin can't see it either.
Li You lost to the eunuch because the eldest princess suddenly sat back and ignored him. Today, he convinced the eldest princess. Of course, the situation will change. How it will change, Li You can only take it one step at a time. He is not sure how it will change.
Better, but never worse.
If the situation can improve after buying this large coal shop that is about to go out of business, wouldn't it be a huge profit?
Having said that, but... Li You showed a painful look. If he had known this, he would not have asked Zhu Bulang as a middleman today. It would be better to directly find a way to meet Lin's consort! It would be great if there was no third party present now!
If Zhu Bulang saw with his own eyes that he happily and deliberately bought this shop that was about to go out of business, and then suddenly the shop suddenly became prosperous after a period of time, it would be a normal operation from a businessman's point of view, but it would make Zhu Bulang, a scribe,
What do you think, my friend? Taking advantage of others' danger, being unjust for profit, cheating, etc., you can't escape.
If there is no third person present, you can do whatever you want, and others will not have any unnecessary thoughts unless they see it with their own eyes. One thing, seen with one's own eyes and heard through rumors, often have different effects on people's thinking.
Hearing Consort Lin's angrily request, Zhu Bulang couldn't help but frown secretly. This seemed a bit extreme. The young master really had a temper attack.
There are losses and gains in buying and selling, so how can we put all the blame on Li You? Besides, Li You also represented the government at the beginning, for official purposes, and did not intend to renovate Taisheng Coal Shop. Now he is forcing the mess to happen.
To Li You, this makes no sense.
Zhu Bulang turned his head and looked at Li You again. Seeing that Li Daguan stopped drinking and said nothing, he was very troubled and distressed, so he guessed that Li You was unwilling to take over.
He smiled and said to Prince Consort Lin: "Brother Lin Xian, in my opinion, this is inappropriate. You'd better take your words back."
When Li You heard this, his thoughts moved, and he quickly followed up and said: "This coal shop is only at its lowest point at the moment, and it will prosper sooner or later. Why should the prince-in-law be so depressed?"
It was okay that Li You didn't speak, but when Li You spoke, Lin Consort became angry for no reason. It was clear that he had ruined the good business, and now he was talking useless and cheap words!
At first, Consort Lin was just venting a few words casually. Now he became more serious and said sarcastically to Li You: "Since it will be prosperous sooner or later, why don't you buy it? I don't want more, and I can sell it cheaply for only five thousand taels of silver.
you!"
Li You said anxiously: "A gentleman does not take away what others like. A prince-in-law should think twice and not act impulsively!"
They all say nice things, but they back down when they meet the truth! Consort Lin thought about it and asked, "Who just said they were willing to take responsibility, and why did they break their word so quickly?"
"Money is something external to the body. Brother Lin Xian, don't push people too hard, and be calm." Zhu Bulang advised Lin's consort.
Li You was speechless after being questioned by Consort Lin, and while Zhu Bulang was persuading him, he sighed on the side.
After being persuaded by Zhu Bulang, Lin Consort just sneered and said sarcastically to Li You: "No matter whether it is accurate or not, why don't you say anything?"
I saw Li Daguan suddenly stand up, his fair face turned a little rosy, gritted his teeth, took out a few pieces of paper from his arms, slapped it on the table, and said loudly: "This is five thousand taels of silver notes! You can take it, Prince Consort."
, I want the coal bunk!"
This five thousand taels is not a small amount, it is equivalent to the income of ordinary people for two hundred years. Young people are really impulsive... Zhu Bulang was very surprised. When he was about to say something, he saw Li You waving to him again
, said fiercely: "Brother Zhu, please don't dissuade me, I have already made up my mind! Consort Lin is not just trying to scare me!"
Consort Lin really didn't expect that Li You actually carried five thousand taels of silver notes with him, and even took pictures of them on the spot and yelled at him. He was surprised and suddenly became excited.
Who is afraid of the other? He also stood up and shouted to the outside: "Bring paper and pen to the store!"
Seeing that the quarrel between the two sides was getting bigger and bigger, and he could not persuade or stop them, Zhu Bulang put his hands on his forehead and sighed helplessly.
The store owner took a pen and paper, and Consort Lin wrote the contract quickly and smoothly, and said to Li You, "Do you dare to sign and pledge it?"
"Why don't you dare!" Li You said decisively, took the pen and wrote his name.
Consort Lin handed the contract to Zhu Fanghe again and said, "Brother Zhu, please be your guarantee!"
Zhu Bulang wrote with a wry smile, "You will eventually regret it. At that time, as brothers, I will have to invite you together to make peace."
Both parties to the contract and the guarantor have signed and pledged it, and it has to be sealed by the government before it can take effect. Li Youhao said angrily: "The consort can take away the silver note tonight! I took the contract to Wanping County and had it stamped.
, you will send this to the consort's house later!"
"Then it's a deal! When the time comes, I'll call someone to deliver the deeds to the shop and house to you!" Consort Lin said without hesitation.
The three of them said goodbye, and Consort Lin left proudly first. Although he regretted a little, it was a bit arbitrary to sell the property that he had owned for more than ten years, but if he didn't sell it, he might not be able to get back the five thousand taels. Five thousand taels
The silver letter is enough for him to spend a while.
When Zhu Bulang said goodbye, he said to Li You: "The prince-in-law is a man with a bad temper. What are you doing with him?"
Li You clutched the contract and gritted his teeth and replied: "Although a gentleman does not take away what others like, the prince-in-law is pushing hard and blaming me for all the faults. It is unbearable! I don't believe it. With only my own ability, I can't stand it."
How can I run a coal shop?"
"I know you don't want this store from the bottom of your heart." Zhu Bulang commented: "But you are still young and energetic. I heard that you are planning to go into business recently? I'm afraid there is a difference between doing business and being an official."
This Li You has a temperament that is not afraid of things when he is an official. He is also not afraid of things when doing business. He can be like this as an official, but can he be like this in business? He doesn't know.
Sitting in the sedan, Li You felt that the contract in his hand was heavy. This added a lot of pressure to himself, and he could not guarantee that he would be 100% successful.
Originally, the political significance of the coal business was greater than the economic significance. It would be better if it succeeded, but there would be no loss if it failed. Now there is a half-dead coal shop. If it cannot be saved, it will really be a waste of five thousand taels of silver.
I found a burden on myself.
Such a thing must be discussed with Aunt Guan first, as it happened that it was her turn to sleep at her place tonight. When Li You returned home, he asked the doorman if he had anything to do today, and then went to the third room in the backyard.
Guan Xiuxiu was reading the account book under the bright candlelight. When she saw her husband come in, she looked up and said happily: "The amount of silver on the counter has increased sharply by more than 83,000 taels in the past two days. It is estimated that there will be more tomorrow and the next day. This kind of good thing will happen again and again."
, it would be better if I got hit a few more times."
Li You sat next to him, "Now that the news has spread, everyone knows who is behind the bank. How can there be so many short-sighted people in the world."
Guan Xiuxiu suggested to Li You: "In other silver shops, the home and the store are integrated, but here we are separated. We have too much silver and put it all in the store. I always feel worried, just to be safe.
, you should move some to your home for safekeeping.”
Li You thinks it makes sense, but it may not be feasible. "The space at home is too tight. Where can I find another bank?"
Guan Xiuxiu said confidently: "Don't worry about this. You can dig a cellar for storage and build it underground under the house. It's safe this way."
"You can give it a try." Li You nodded in agreement and began to talk about tonight's transaction: "I met Lin's consort today. He accused me of destroying his coal shop. After a few quarrels, I offered him five thousand taels.
I bought his coal shop for the price of silver."
Aunt Guan knew that her husband would not be willing to suffer losses, let alone take a huge sum of five thousand taels impulsively, but her focus was on the origin of the five thousand taels. "Husband, where did you get the five thousand taels?
Could it be that it's still a loan? Yesterday you borrowed 5,000 yuan in debt, and today it's 5,000 yuan again. It can't always be like this!"
"This was not borrowed today, it was given by someone else."
Aunt Guan asked in confusion: "Who is so generous?"
This was a long story. Li You briefly explained everything that happened today. Guan Xiuxiu worriedly said: "If my husband doesn't do well this time, he will suffer a lot."
"Then try your best to do it!" Li You yawned and went to bed first. He will cultivate himself tonight!
After a night of silence, Li You got up early to wash up and headed north the next day. Among the nine gates of the capital, most of the imperial government offices were in the south, and the government offices of Shuntian Prefecture, Daxing County, and Wanping County were all in the south.
North of the Imperial City.
These days, contracts involving shop land must be stamped by the county government before they can be effective and legally binding. Of course, the stamp money must be paid to the sealing official appointed by the county magistrate.
Because Taisheng Coal Shop is located within the jurisdiction of Wanping County in terms of administrative divisions, the contract between Li You and Consort Lin needs to be sealed at the Wanping County Government Office, which is where Li You went out early in the morning.
After spending a little money and quickly using the seal, Li You hurried to the coal market outside Fuchengmen. The coal that Uncle Qian Guo found was said to be arriving in the capital in the afternoon. Time was very tight, so he had to prepare it in advance.
arrange.
This is Li You's third visit to the coal market. The first time he was a law enforcement officer, the second time he was a buyer, and the third time he was an owner. Each time his identity was different.
When they arrived at Taisheng Coal Shop, they were really in a state of depression. The door to the lobby was not even opened. Han Zong went up and banged on the door, only to see a man sticking his head out and asking, "Who is it?"
Han Zong: "Mr. Lin, you have sold the shop! The new owner is here, please open the door quickly to welcome him!"
Everyone from the shopkeeper to the waiters were there. I heard there was a new owner. Although I didn't know what was going on, I still opened the door.
Shopkeeper Gao rushed out to meet the so-called new owner, but what he saw was an unforgettable face. This was the main culprit for the store's closure. Can you not be impressed?
Is he the new owner? Shopkeeper Gao forgot to give him the gift and stood there in a daze. It’s not enough for Mr. Li to harm our store once. Is he addicted to harm? (To be continued)
