chapter 21.
When I arrived at the inner hall, I saw Aunt Jin dressed in a brocade jacket, with a face that looked like peach pink, and was talking to two guests.
Chunxing said, "Young Master Liu is here." Then he went down.
Aunt Jin glanced at Liu Wenyang, meaning that he would wait aside first.
Liu Wenyang was not polite, so he found a place to sit down, pinched the candied fruit on the table with his hands and ate it. While eating, he watched Aunt Jin discuss business with the two of them.
One of the two men was a thin man wearing a green long coat with a jade pendant hanging on his waist, and the other was a fat man wearing a fur hat and smiling.
The fat man Liu Wenyang recognized him, but he was Wu Baiwan, a Sichuan businessman who came to repay his kindness last time with great fanfare. To be careful, he took thirty taels of silver, but did not do enough to help others promote.
However, the biggest advantage of Liu Daguanren is that he is thick-skinned, so he does not shy away. While eating candied fruit, he also greets Wu Baiwan in a bad mood.
Wu Baiwan glanced at him, ignored him, and tried hard to please Aunt Jin, hoping to get the other party's care.
After hearing a few words, Liu Wenyang understood that Wu Baiwan wanted to set up a freight terminal in Taohua Town, do tea silk business, and sell Sichuan tea and Shu brocade here. However, the shops in Taohua Town were in short supply, and there was only one suitable store after searching for it. After getting the news, Wu Baiwan hurriedly asked about the landlord behind the store, but it turned out that it was this pretty widow, Aunt Jin, so he came to the door to talk about it, hoping to rent it for a few years.
Unexpectedly, when I first came, I met a local from Taohua Town who was competing for the store with me.
However, Wu Baiwan was not discouraged. In his opinion, everything was easy to solve as long as you have money, so he rented out the house for ten taels of silver a month, one hundred and twenty taels a year!
But Aunt Jin’s meaning is very obvious. She would rather rent 100 taels of silver to local old customers than rent 120 taels to Wu Baiwan. In a word, do business and be familiar with it or not.
Wu Baiwan had no choice. After talking for a long time, his forehead was sweating quickly. He took off his fur hat and slapped him... You know, his tea and silk goods will be shipped in seven days. If the shop has not been found yet, he needs to find a place to store. If there is no place to store, he will only be guarded in the open air. However, the new tea and silk are delicate and tight, and this winter will inevitably be damaged.
"Boss Jin, I'm an outsider, but we do business, don't we just pay attention to integrity? Then again, it doesn't matter if you trust me, but why can't you get along with the money? You don't rent 120 taels, but you just want to rent 100 taels. Could it be that we foreign merchants are so invisible to you?" When people are in a hurry, they will inevitably feel a little unpleasant.
Aunt Jin smiled coldly: "I don't know if it's in sight. I only know that the store belongs to mine, and I can rent it as much as I want."
"That's it! The shop belongs to Boss Jin. She rents as much as she wants. You, the Barbarian of Chuan, can do it!" The thin man was afraid that Aunt Jin would change his mind. While ridiculing Wu Baiwan, he hurriedly wanted to sign an agreement with Aunt Jin immediately, and even took out a hundred taels of silver notes.
Seeing that there was no hope, Wu Baiwan was unwilling to stay here again and made people laugh, so he put on a fur hat, hugged his fist, and said, "There will be a time later!" He turned around and left.
But before he could take two or three steps, a very familiar voice suddenly said, "Boss Wu, please stay!"
Wu Baiwan turned around and saw that it was not someone else, but Liu Wenyang who had previously shook his eyes at him.
Speaking of which, just now, Liu Wenyang was happily eating free candied fruit, stuffing it into his mouth two or three in one bite. Suddenly, he heard that Wu Baiwan had spent 120 taels of silver to rent the store of Aunt Jin's house. He immediately sprayed out the chewed candied fruit all over his mouth!
One hundred and twenty taels!
Now, Master Liu is very sensitive to 100 taels of silver, so he pricked up his ears and listened carefully. Aunt Jin, a woman with a stick, actually turned away such a huge sum of money, called "Master or not"!
Just be stupid. Since ancient times, only profit is the only way to do business. How can you make more money and not make more money?
However, when Liu Wenyang thought of the store, his eyes turned around and thought of the house he lived in. It was originally a very good shop location, but it was a little simpler. Otherwise, Aunt Jin would not have spent so much thought on driving herself and her father out and swallowing her own deed.
Damn, it’s better to stop the silence halfway and rent out your house!
Thinking of this, when Wu Baiwan saw that he was about to jump away like a shining gold ingot, Liu Daren made a spout without caring about the candied fruit in his mouth and said, "Boss Wu, please stay!"
Seeing that Wu Baiwan had stopped obediently and turned his head to look at him, Liu Wenyang patted the candied fruit residue on his hand, wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and said with a smile: "Boss Wu, do you still know me?"
Wu Baiwan looked at Liu Wenyang with a smiley face and originally wanted to say, "You cheated me of thirty taels of silver and turned into ashes. I know you, but he is a particular businessman after all, and immediately said, "Why don't you know me? Aren't you the young master of the Liu family?"
"It's me, of course it's me! Haha! I didn't expect that we would meet again here. It's so destined to be together!"
"Ha, I'm quite destined to be... But I don't know why you called me?" Wu Baiwan showed an impatient look. He was worried about the store and really had no intention of spanking this little charlatan.
"Of course it's for you to relieve your worries for Boss Wu!" Liu Wenyang smiled sneakily.
Wu Baiwan frowned, "I heard that you are very good at fortune-telling. Do you want to help me calculate a fortune-telling? You are so smart when doing business to do your job!" A hint of contempt appeared on his face.
"I misunderstood, you misunderstood! I called you not to take on business, but there was a store that wanted to introduce you..."
"Shop?" Wu Baiwan's eyes lit up and he looked at Liu Wenyang, seeing that he didn't seem to be joking, "Let's talk about it."
Liu Wenyang used his finger to rub the tip of his nose, "That's right. Didn't you go to my house last time? The location of my house can be said to be hidden in wind and water, and the terrain is full of feng shui techniques. It is a real "toad holds pearls, koi jumps over the dragon gate". It is definitely an excellent shop choice... Of course, whether it is good or not, you are in business. You have been there for a long time. You should know better than me..."
After Liu Wenyang reminded him, Wu Baiwan's mind became active. After a moment of thinking, it was not to mention that the Liu family was well-connected and had a prominent terrain, which was definitely a very good business location.
"But that is the place where you live after all, can you rent it to me?" Wu Baiwan was moved and asked tentatively.
"Oh!" Liu Wenyang sighed and peeked at Wu Baiwan with his eyes. Seeing that he became nervous, he said: "It was originally my ancestral house. The ancestors had a lesson. The feng shui here is very good. It can only be used to live there, not rent it out... But you and I are really destined to be together. Seeing that you are so troubled, I couldn't bear it, so I took the initiative to stop you..."
"Don't take the liberty, absolutely not take the liberty!" Wu Baiwanxin said, he was also obsessed with money. He was determined to find a serious shop, but he forgot that many houses could be converted into stores. At this moment, he heard a show and said hurriedly, "From what you said, little brother, you can tell that you are kind-hearted and enthusiastic and helpful... In addition, we are so destined to be together, so please help me, just rent that house to me!"
"Oh, this...the rental is OK, but in terms of rent..." Liu Wenyang stopped talking.
"Thirty taels, what do you think?" Wu Baiwan couldn't wait to bid.
"Damn, you have been 120 taels from others, but you only paid thirty taels from mine. Look at me stupid!" Liu Wenyang thought, without thinking about how old and broken his house was. It was really good that he would pay thirty taels from others.
At this moment, Master Liu directly answered whether it was OK, but instead made a reminiscent of his thoughts and said, "When I was a child, my grandfather once said that the Feng Shui of this ancestral house can make a fortune and drive away disasters. Just look at me and you will know that if you fall into the water, you will survive the disaster; if you get sick, you will be safe; and if you get a small fortune in the house, you will be successful in your career and rise step by step... Why is this happening? The reason is that the Feng Shui of our ancestral house is very good. In a word, it is so great!" Liu Wenyang gave a thumbs up, and there was no shame in the Wang Po selling melons and boasting.
Then Wu Baiwan is not a fool, but after thinking about it, what the boy said in front of him was half true and half false, maybe the feng shui of the house was really good.
Almost all those who do business believe in Feng Shui.
The process of Wu Baiwan getting rich is also related to fortune-telling, so he believed in Feng Shui even more.
"Ahem, little brother, then according to your wishes, how much does it cost to rent it?"
Liu Wenyang looked at Wu Baiwan who looked anxious, and then raised his two fingers with a sad expression.
"What? Two hundred taels?!" Wu Baiwan almost jumped up, and even the dilapidated house dared to rent two hundred taels. Is this guy crazy?!
"No, I will pay at most 100 taels! I won't rent it if there is more!" Wu Baiwan waved his hand.
Official Liu's carefulness almost jumped out. In fact, what he meant just now was to add another twenty taels and make up fifty taels to make a deal, but he didn't expect the other party to...
"Since Boss Wu, you said so, if I don't give you face, I'm too unkind. Okay, one hundred taels, only one hundred taels!" Liu Daren said listlessly, looking like he was defeated and had to accept the other party's conditions.
"Hmph, don't regret it. I promise, I will give you a deposit of fifty taels first, and the other half will be told when my goods are moved in!" Wu Baiwan was proud, afraid that Liu Wenyang would change his mind, so he hurriedly handed over the deposit, and asked Liu Wenyang to establish a deposit, so he was relieved.
Before leaving, Wu Baiwan comforted Liu Wenyang very kindly and said, "To be honest, little brother, although your house is good, it is too dilapidated, at most it is worth 100 taels. It is already very reasonable for me to give you this price... Let's be happy, we often come and go in the future, and you will move out with your father first, so I can ask someone to redecorate the house..."
"Don't make a big splash, that's our ancestral home." Someone looked reluctant.
"Don't worry, I will treat it well!" Wu Baiwan smiled and patted someone on the back, and then left proudly. For him, who pays attention to Feng Shui in business, it's worth a hundred taels of Feng Shui treasure land!
