Chapter 541 Rui Xuanzhai

Chapter 541: Ruixuanzhai

"4.5 million RMB? Boss Zhuang, we didn't agree on 600,000 yuan a year. It should be 4.2 million yuan in 7 years. The extra 300,000 yuan is..."

Zhao Hanxuan took a contract on the table and first found the amount. When he looked at it, he was stunned. He didn't know why the number on the contract was 300,000 yuan more than what was agreed upon.

As the saying goes, there is no free lunch for no merit. Zhao Hanxuan had just suffered a big mistake because he wanted to take advantage of him some time ago. At this time, he felt a little frightened.

"Old Zhao, please take a look at the other contract first, and then we can discuss it after reading it..."

Zhuang Rui smiled and waved his hand. When he saw his niece looking at the store curiously, he bent down to pick up his daughter and walked to a waist-high square table.

Shops that sell stationery must have a writing desk. This is also a place that showcases China’s unique traditional culture. Many foreigners who travel to China often spend money just because they see this magical calligraphy.

Purchase rice paper, brushes and inkstones.

Shuyazhai is no exception. There is a table in the middle of the shop for customers to test pens.

"Nanny, can uncle write you a piece of calligraphy?"

Zhuang Rui spread out a three-foot-square piece of rice paper, picked a langhao pen from the pen holder, held it in his hand and turned his wrist to make a gesture. It felt pretty good.

Zhuang Rui had studied calligraphy since he was in elementary school. Of course, it was just a hobby and he could not be promoted to the stage. Later, after learning antique appraisal, he gained a deeper understanding of calligraphy. He asked himself that although his writing was not very good, he should not be able to write well either.

He's out of shape, that's why he dares to show off his ugliness in front of everyone.

"Uncle, what do you want to write?" The little girl reached out to grab Zhuang Rui's writing brush. Zhuang Rui quickly handed the little girl to his brother-in-law. Her face was painted into a big pattern during the New Year, but it didn't look good.

Someone wanted to write a calligraphy on the spot, and all the customers in the store gathered around. This was a good opportunity to observe, but they didn't know that Zhuang Rui was doing it casually and was not from the calligraphy world at all.

"good!"

“Well written!”

After thinking for a while, Zhuang Rui wrote the words "New Year's greetings, happy festivals and Changchun".

Although there are some shortcomings in the dense distribution and rounded connection of the fonts, the five fingers work together and the writing power is quite strong. In the eyes of an outsider, it feels pretty good. There was a burst of admiration from the scene.

"Show your ugliness, show your ugliness..."

Zhuang Rui repeatedly raised his hands to all sides. He was still self-aware. In the eyes of an expert, this word would be similar to that of a primary school student who had just learned to write pen calligraphy. There were flaws everywhere. He was just writing it for fun during the Chinese New Year.

"Boss Zhuang, this couplet has a meaning..."

It took Zhuang Rui ten minutes to think about these words. Zhao Hanxuan had already read the contract and came over to take a look. However, he said that the couplet was good, but he did not say that Zhuang Rui wrote it.

Well, everyone who understood what he said laughed kindly.

The couplet written by Zhuang Rui, "The New Year is full of Yuqing, and the festival is called Changchun" does have a profound meaning.

According to records in "History of the Song Dynasty. Shu Family", Meng Chang, the lord of Later Shu at that time, ordered Zhang Xun, a scholar, to write this couplet on a wooden board made of peach wood. This was also the first Spring Festival couplet in China. Since it was originally

It was written on peach wood, so until the Song Dynasty, the Spring Festival couplets were still called "Peach Talisman".

Most of the Chinese people who can visit the Shufangsibao store are literate people who love calligraphy. Some people who know this allusion explain it to others. Even though it is just a simple couplet, to be able to write it out, you still need to have some skills.

Very strong foundation in Chinese language.

Zhuang Rui's suggestion made some people who felt good about themselves also ask to write a few words. The Chinese New Year is already a bustling event, and no one cares about a little pen and ink. Zhao Hanxuan found a guy to arrange it for everyone.

Got up.

"Boss Zhuang, can we take a moment to talk?"

There are twenty or thirty people in Zhao Hanxuan's shop outside now. In addition, some people want to write books on the spot, and there are also a group of onlookers crowded in. It is indeed a bit noisy and not a place for conversation.

"Okay..." Zhuang Rui nodded, and the two entered the compartment inside.

"Old Zhao, I have read this contract. How do you feel about it? Do you want to sign it or not?"

After today, Zhuang Rui would be busy and had no time to talk around in circles with Lao Zhao, so he asked straight to the point.

"Boss Zhuang, I took advantage of this. I didn't say it before. I signed the contract for Lao Zhao, and I will take care of the store. Don't worry, you can't make a mistake..."

When Zhao Hanxuan faced this young man Zhuang Rui, he not only admired him, but also looked up to him, because if it were him, although he would not add insult to injury, he would never be able to give him such a contract.

In Zhuang Rui's contract, the extra 300,000 yuan was already stated in it, which was to pay Lao Zhao 10 months' salary in advance. For this, Zhao Hanxuan had no idea of ​​being grateful to Zhuang Rui, but the latter clause was indeed

Zhao Hanxuan was tempted and admired Zhuang Rui's courage.

Zhuang Rui gave Lao Zhao two contracts. One was the transfer contract of "Shu Ya Zhai". This contract was very simple, just some transfer clauses, but in the other employment contract, there were several

A rather special place.

Zhuang Rui included a clause in this contract, which is that after the sales inventory of the goods in Shuya Zhai is clear, Zhao Hanxuan will account for 20% of the total gross profit from the sales of the new four treasures of the study.

In other words, Zhuang Rui gave more than 20% of the study supplies to Zhao Hanxuan without him having to contribute a single bit of capital.

Some friends may feel that 20% is not a lot, but they are wrong. What is written above is gross profit, which is the profit after total sales minus main operating costs. To be specific, only the purchase price of the goods is deducted.

cost.

This does not include expenses such as water, electricity, rent, depreciation and losses, employee wages, etc. Zhao Hanxuan has been in business for so many years, and he knows that if he calculates it carefully, Zhuang Rui may end up earning money from stationery supplies.

, not as much as myself.

Lao Zhao knows the operating conditions of "Shu Ya Zhai" best. The inventory can be sold in half a year at most. In this case, after half a year, Zhao Hanxuan will be running his own business, and he will not need to bear any responsibility.

The risk involved, if done well, may not be less than the money earned before.

Zhao Hanxuan also saw that the focus of Zhuang Rui's business was on antiques and jewelry, but his store was big enough, and dividing it into such a section would not affect the sales of stationery supplies.

Zhuang Rui gave this condition and was not afraid that Zhao Hanxuan would risk his life. This was what he admired most about Zhuang Rui. If he wanted the horse to run, he had to give it grass first.

To be honest, Zhao Hanxuan was still a little dissatisfied before because he was selling a store instead of selling himself. Zhuang Rui connected the two things and took advantage of his dilemma of being eager to spend money to tie himself up to this year.

When Lao Zhao called Zhuang Rui, although he said he agreed, he was not very comfortable in his heart. But after seeing the contract, his dissatisfaction disappeared long ago.

"Old Zhao, you don't need to thank me. I don't know anything about the management of study items. Even if you bring me two apprentices in the future, I'm afraid you will still be blind in business. You have been doing this for so many years.

, leave it to you to run the business, everyone can make money, why not do it..."

When Zhuang Rui gave this contract, he made this decision after a long period of thinking. Although he had two candidates in mind to take over Lao Zhao's class, if he thought about it carefully, those two guys were probably just students.

After only two years, there is no guarantee that I will be able to graduate from school. By then, I will definitely not be able to continue working in the study area.

The area of ​​this store is large enough. Zhuang Rui only needs a small area to sell antiques and jade, so he still wants to continue the study business, which requires Lao Zhao to continue here after a year.

Done.

Zhuang Rui knows that it is difficult for people who have been bosses before to work for others again, because many people cannot accept this change psychologically. They would rather start a small business and start over from scratch than listen to others.

shouted.

Especially for someone like Lao Zhao, who is in the cultural circle himself, is relatively aloof, and values ​​face. If there is no contract that satisfies the other party, Lao Zhao will definitely leave this place after one year of agreement.

From the store.

If that is the case, Zhuang Rui will not be able to continue running the study business after one year, so by giving Lao Zhao this condition, it seems that Zhuang Rui is at a disadvantage, but in fact he is taking advantage. After all, he does not expect the study business

If your business makes a lot of money and you can get an extra point of profit growth, it's like getting it for free.

"Old Zhao, I am leaving Beijing tomorrow. I will trouble you to handle the formalities. I will also find a few workers to renovate the outside a little and make some high-end glass display cabinets. The rest will wait.

I’ll talk about it when I get back…”

After Zhuang Rui told Lao Zhao a few words, he suddenly remembered something and said quickly: "By the way, the name of this store needs to be changed, let's change it to Ruixuanzhai..." Zhuang Rui took out a pen and paper and wrote

I wrote this name and showed it to Zhao Hanxuan.

Although Zhuang Rui also wanted to call it "Rongbaozhai" or something, but it was a century-old store with a registered trademark, so he settled for the next best thing and simply combined one character from his and Qin Xuanbing's names to create a store name.

.

"Okay, tomorrow is the fourth day of the Lunar New Year. It's almost time to go to work. I'll go and run these procedures tomorrow..."

Zhao Hanxuan nodded and agreed. The conditions Zhuang Rui offered him were already very generous. Changing the name of the store was not unacceptable.
