Chapter 117 Difficulty in Cooperation
Hui Niang thought something had happened, so she came back anxiously. She felt relieved after seeing that the medicine shop was in trouble. At this time, Chen Xi handed the letter to her. After reading it, Hui Niang's face looked a little complicated. Chen Xi analyzed her psychology, she should have wanted to make the business bigger, but she was afraid of blind expansion and put her previous accumulation into vain.
"What do you think sister?" Hui Niang turned her head and looked at Zhou.
At present, Hui Niang has no backbone, so she can only discuss with Zhou if she has anything to do. Women are always a little cautious in doing things. To put it bluntly, they are actually timid.
Zhou shook his head and smiled bitterly: "How can I make up my mind about this? Isn't it up to your decision by my sister? The Yang family is the Shen family's in-laws. They also do the medicinal materials business, which is not easy to help."
Chen Xi smiled and said, "Mom, this is wrong. At worst, we can buy the Yang family's pharmacy."
"Nonsense!" Zhou rebuked, "That's your aunt's property. Why should we buy it if we say it's time to buy it? Do you want someone to poke the backbone?"
Chen Xi sighed: "Mom, you may not understand the content in the letter. My aunt said that the Yang family's pharmacy can barely maintain it, but if you owe foreign debts and have no money to purchase goods, how should you maintain it? What if the creditor comes to the door? Instead of being cheaper for others, it is better to sell it to us, and maybe you can bring it back to life."
Zhou asked in surprise: "Is it so serious?"
Hui Niang sighed softly and said, "Sister may not be very clear about the market. Since the plague last year, the business of the pharmacy shops has been difficult, and the medicinal materials in various places have skyrocketed. There are many Yang's pharmacy shops that have closed down. It should be based on the previous assets, but I'm afraid it won't last long."
Zhou frowned and asked in confusion: "Why does our pharmacy business seem to be pretty good?"
Hui Niang smiled and hugged Chen Xi over, touched Chen Xi's little head and said, "That's thanks to our little miracle doctor. If it weren't for helping people with acne last year, so that people in the county and surrounding areas could remember our good things, how could our pharmacy business be so smooth?"
When Zhou's face was also glorious when he heard Hui Niang praise Chen Xi, she was also in a state of glory, but when she thought that the Yang family's medicine shop was on the verge of bankruptcy, she couldn't be happy.
Hui Niang thought for a while and said, "Why don't my sister take the time to go to the Mansion City and see what's going on with the Yang family?"
Zhou quickly waved his hand: "I am a woman, why are you doing so far away from the city after traveling through mountains and rivers? If you want to go, it's better for you, sister."
"It's not that I can't go, but now I have to walk in both the medicine shop and the printing workshop, I really can't get rid of it." Hui Niang said, her eyes unconsciously falling on Shen Xi, but this time she didn't ask Chen Xi for help, and they couldn't even go to the city, let alone children like Chen Xi.
Chen Xi pulled Hui Niang's sleeve and said, "Mom, Aunt Sun, since my uncle's family wants to ask us for help, why do you want us to go to the city? Let me send them a letter and let them come over? Now my grandmother and my uncle have a conflict, so they just come back to take a look and help me with you."
Zhou's eyes lit up, looked at Hui Niang with inquiring eyes, and asked, "It seems that there is some truth to it, sister, what do you think?"
Hui Niang nodded with a smile: "It's still Xiao Lang's smart. Sister might as well write a letter, but what should I write?"
"Just write that we are willing to help them overcome difficulties, but they will transfer most of the shares to us, and the decision-making power of the pharmacy shop will be given to us in the future, so that we can talk about it."
Chen Xi said these words almost like a cannon.
Hui Niang quickly shook her head: "No, no, this kind of thing is too offensive to people. I may not be sure that you can't even be relatives in the future. I think it's better to discuss it after seeing the person."
Hui Niang is a sensible person. She can't do such a thing as stealing other people's ancestral family business, but she wants to make the business bigger, and she is a little embarrassed and at a loss.
The letter was written by Hui Niang and Zhou. At night, the two women slept in the same room, and they were even closer than their own sisters. They hid in the room and muttered to each other. When they came out the next day, the letter had been written, but they were worried that it would affect their studies and not show it to Chen Xi.
Chen Xi curled his lips. He originally wanted to give the advice on how to speak, but now Hui Niang and Zhou Shi were too lazy to interrupt if they didn't appreciate it.
He told Hui Niang that the printing workshop was separated and the establishment of a semicolon was not mentioned to Hui Niang. He thought that he would first solve the Yang family pharmacy and wait until there was a fulcrum to enter the Fucheng City.
The letter was sent out early on the fourth day of the September 10th, and there was a reply letter by the tenth day of the September 10th. Ninghua County is not too far from Tingzhou Fucheng, and the bandits have been eliminated, so the road is still smooth, so it is convenient to travel back and forth from Fucheng.
In the Yang family's reply, the Yang family stated that the Yang couple would arrive in Ninghua County in a few days and go to Huiniang's pharmacy in person to discuss it. At the same time, they brought a letter to ask the Shen family to say hello.
The Yang couple came here this time, nominally visiting the old lady Li, and at the same time talking about conflicts with her family.
On September 13, Yang Wenzhao's father Yang Ling and his wife Yang Shen first took a boat to Daxueling, and then took a carriage and went to Ninghua County for two days on a carriage. Shen Mingjun went outside the city to greet him. After entering the city, the couple went directly to the Shen family's large room to visit Li.
In the afternoon, Yang Ling and Yang Shen came from the Shen family's large room. They originally said to sit at Shen Mingjun's house, but in fact they came to the pharmacy to discuss cooperation. The couple didn't even tell the old lady the whole story.
Chen Xi has been in this world for more than two years. He has met Yang Shen's aunt a lot of times. When Yang Shen's husband quarreled with her husband, he liked to take his son back to Taohua Village to live for a while. In this way, Chen Xi started playing with Yang Wenzhao, but this was the first time he met his uncle Yang Ling and him.
Hui Niang came back early and sat up with Zhou and closed the door in the back hall to discuss matters with Yang and his wife. Chen Xi wanted to stay and listen, but was driven out by Zhou.
Chen Xi taught Lin Dai and Lu Xier to read in the backyard, but he was worried about how he discussed it. After all, it was about business matters, and he hoped to participate.
At dusk, the Yang couple left the medicine shop and went to the inn to stay. At the same time, they took the opportunity to tell Shen Mingwen that they had a family conflict with their eldest son.
After sending the person away, Zhou and Hui Niang returned to the backyard, sat down along the well, and discussed it in a low voice again. Judging from their expressions, the matter should not be discussed.
"Mom, I'm hungry. Can you cook early?" Chen Xi found an excuse to lean over, actually trying to hear clearly what the two women were saying.
Zhou opened his mouth and scolded: "The little brat is just a lot of trouble. When you are hungry, go to the stove to get something to fill your stomach."
Hui Niang realized that talking about cooperation with the Yang family was not as easy as she had imagined before, so she asked Chen Xi to sit down and asked with a smile:
"Xiaolang, didn't you say that we should do our business to the city before? What are your good ideas?"
Chen Xi grinned and made a face: "Aunt Sun only remembered me at this time, and asked me if I wouldn't say anything yet."
Hui Niang quickly squatted down with a flattering face: "Okay, okay, Xiaolang, it's wrong for auntie. Isn't it okay to reward you with delicious and fun?"
"Hmph, my aunt still treats me as a child. I have grown up. Don't fool me with delicious food and fun at any time. As long as my aunt has something to do in the future, just discuss with me more. Don't be like today. If you don't let me listen when you talk about it."
Hui Niang nodded with a smile, looking at Chen Xi with a little confused look, as if she could see someone's shadow from Chen Xi.
Zhou urged: "If you have something to say, or I will beat you up."
Chen Xi then said seriously: "I don't know what you are talking about, such as the current operating conditions of the Yang Family Pharmaceutical Store, how many bank deficits there are outside, and how they want to cooperate."
Hui Niang realized that Chen Xi's thoughts were much more detailed than she thought, so she gave an answer.
