After seeing Zhao Hanxuan sign and fingerprint the two contracts respectively, Zhuang Rui issued a cash check of 4.5 million yuan and handed it to him. From this moment on, the store was regarded as Zhuang Rui's property.
Zhao Hanxuan also gave Zhuang Rui a list of all the goods in the store. He compiled it in great detail. The list not only included the purchase price, but also the retail price, including several valuable ancient inkstones, all listed clearly.
It is clear and gives people a clear feeling.
Zhuang Rui's old profession is finance. Looking at these lists, he is quite satisfied with Zhao Hanxuan's ability and character. At first, Zhao Hanxuan said that the goods in his store were worth about 1 million yuan. Now look at what is listed on the list.
, the total price is 1.18 million yuan, which is slightly higher than what he said.
After the matter was done, Zhuang Rui put away his two contracts. When he was about to go out, he was stopped by Zhao Hanxuan: "Boss Zhuang, please arrange for a financial officer to come over..."
"Finance? I work in finance myself, so I don't need this, right?"
Zhuang Rui was stunned for a moment, what kind of accountant does such a big small shop need? He can sort out the accounts by himself.
"Boss Zhuang, it is still necessary to hire a treasurer and a cashier. Like me, many things were not standardized before. Don't make the accounts unclear when the time comes. That would be bad..."
It used to be his own private shop, and Zhao Hanxuan was in charge of all the money. Expenses were quite confusing. He just used the money from the shop for any expenses. Zhao Hanxuan was afraid that he would get used to the money from the shop.
Don't accidentally think that the money in the store is yours again.
When Zhuang Rui heard this, he understood the same thing. His brothers were still settling accounts openly. Although he did not doubt his employment, some things were better left open, so he asked: "Old Zhao, how is the security of Panjiayuan?"
Like? Are there any thieves or robberies?"
Lao Zhao was a little surprised that this was talking about financial matters and why it was talking about public security. However, he still replied: "Panjiayuan is now a window for Beijing to promote Chinese culture. Public security is very good. Robbery is absolutely not a problem."
, but it’s hard to tell when it comes to thieves. Sometimes when there are too many tourists, there are cases where wallets are lost..."
Zhuang Rui waved his hand and said: "What I'm talking about is whether there have been any thefts or robberies in the store, or whether the door was broken and locked after closing..."
"No, Panjiayuan is patrolled by security guards and police. I have never heard of such a thing..." Zhao Hanxuan shook his head.
"Well, let's go back and buy a better safe and put it on the second floor. I will arrange for a cashier to come once a day and put the daily turnover in the safe. If you need to spend money, you call the finance department and notify the cashier.
Just come..."
Zhuang Rui doesn't plan to hire any more financial staff. He plans to let Qin Ruilin's treasurer and cashier take over the work here. Anyway, the two stores are not busy, so just let the cashier go there once a day.
, if there is a large transaction, ask the cashier to deposit the money in the bank.
Of course, if they are working two jobs, their wages should be appropriately increased.
"Sure, it's best this way. Sometimes you don't have to go to the bank for small expenses..."
Zhao Hanxuan nodded in agreement with Zhuang Rui's idea. When he raised this issue, he was a little worried about the inconvenience, but if there is a safe in the store, it can solve the problem of small amounts of expenditure.
Originally, there was a safe in the store with several ancient inkstones in it. However, after the accident, Zhao Hanxuan took the safe home because he was afraid that it would be robbed by his creditors, and the price could not even be calculated.
"Fourth brother, please go back and take my sister and the others home. I still have some things to do..."
After walking out of the cubicle with Zhao Hanxuan, Zhuang Rui grabbed Ouyang Jun. Just when he told Zhao Hanxuan the name of the store, Zhuang Rui suddenly remembered something. It seemed like he should find someone to write a plaque for his appearance.
After Zhuang Rui left the "Shu Ya Zhai" alone, he squeezed into the crowd. He remembered that on the way there, there was a store in Daoxiang Village that was set up in the temple fair. In this year's Beijing New Year Temple Fair, all the century-old stores were gathered together.
The facade shows Chinese traditional culture and snacks to guests from all over the world.
Daoxiang Village was originally called "Lianjiapu". They make all kinds of southern pastries and meats, which are both beautiful and delicious. Not only are they renovated, but they are also heavy in oil and sugar and will not dry out after being stored for several days. They are very popular in Beijing with a dry climate.
At that time, the winter melon cakes, Gusu pretzel cakes, and lard-filled sand steamed cakes produced in Daoxiang Village made their debut in the capital, allowing people in the capital who were accustomed to eating "big pastries" from the north to enjoy exquisite and authentic southern food.
It didn't take long for this southern food restaurant to become "popular". It spread its name from one person to another in the streets and alleys, and there was an endless stream of diners, ranging from celebrities and officials to ordinary people.
Today, Daoxiang Village has developed into a large enterprise with annual sales of 700 million yuan. Zhuang Rui squeezed in front of the Daoxiang Village, bought four boxes of almond cakes and southern leg cakes, and carried them in his hands.
The food is famous, but it's really not cheap. Eight boxes of snacks cost several hundred yuan.
After Zhuang Rui got into the car with the snacks, he drove straight to Fatty Jin's house. Zhuang Rui knew without calling that Fatty Jin would definitely stay at home today because it was the third day of the Lunar New Year.
According to Chinese tradition, the third day of the Lunar New Year is also called Red Dog Day, which is an unlucky day. Red Dog is the god of anger, and if you encounter it, there will be bad luck, so this will be traditional or the older generation of Beijingers.
, on this day you will definitely stay home and stay at home to avoid encountering evil spirits.
This day was not a good time to visit, but Zhuang Rui was leaving Beijing the day after tomorrow, so he didn't care about that much at the moment. After driving into the community where Fatty Jin lived, he took out his phone and made a call.
Although Fatty Jin is playing with traditional culture, the place he lives in is not traditional at all. It is a high-end community in Beijing, and the location is not bad. Even now in 2005, it is impossible to buy it without three to five million yuan.
came down.
As expected, Fatty Jin really stayed at home, and Zhuang Rui entered the elevator carrying snacks.
"Teacher Jin, I wish you a happy New Year..."
As soon as Zhuang Rui entered the room, he placed the snacks by the door and raised his hands.
Fatty Jin said with a smile on his face: "Hey, brother, why are you so polite when you get home? You can call me Fatty Jin, you can call me brother, don't call me a teacher..."
I have to talk about the old tradition of Red Dog Day, but this door-to-door visit is not in the way. Fatty Jin is also a lively person. Besides, he also knows a lot about Zhuang Rui's background. If he can come to visit him in person to pay New Year greetings, I'm afraid I haven't done this yet.
Face, I guess it has something else to do.
"Swallow, come here, bring out my tea set, a distinguished guest is here..." Following Fatty Jin's shout, the door to the back room was opened.
A young girl with a ponytail and a tight sweater walked out of the room. The girl had a baby face, which was somewhat similar to Fatty Jin's round face. She looked like she was in her early twenties. Zhuang
Rui thought she was Fatty Jin’s daughter.
"Fortunately, I brought a pearl pendant with me when I came out today. Otherwise, it would be embarrassing for me to have a friendship with Fatty Jin and not have a gift to give me a gift when I meet this junior..."
When Zhuang Rui went out today, he thought of what happened to Girl Meng that day, so he took a pearl pendant from the basement and put it in his pocket.
This pearl pendant is inlaid with silver. It is large and round, and the craftsmanship is very exquisite. Although it is not as valuable as black pearls, it is quite old. It can be regarded as an antique and can be worth ten or twenty thousand yuan. I immediately thought
Take it out and give it to the girl named Yanzi.
"Yanzi, come on, let me introduce you. This is Zhuang Rui. Let's talk about our own affairs. You can call me Brother Zhuang. Brother, if this were in ancient times, you would have called me sister-in-law..."
"Brother Zhuang, hello, welcome to my home..." The girl greeted Zhuang Rui obediently.
The words of Fatty Jin and Yanzi caused Zhuang Rui, who was sitting on the sofa, to stumble and almost fall over. This... this... Fortunately, Fatty Jin said these words first, otherwise when he gave the gift,
Then the oolong is about to cause a big fuss.
Not to mention, this girl is quite eye-catching. She has a good figure and a round face. She is also quite cute. However, Zhuang Rui thinks that this girl named Yanzi looks more like a father and daughter than a couple to Fatty Jin.
"Uh, what, Yanzi, your brother Zhuang didn't bring anything with you today, so just take this thing and wear it..." Zhuang Rui took his hand out of his pocket, and it was the pearl pendant.
"Hey, brother, you are really generous. You are buying old stuff. Come on, Yanzi, thank you, Brother Zhuang. This gift is not light..."
The chain of this pendant is made of old silver, and its color is easily distinguishable from today's silver. Fatty Jin opened it at a glance, took it in his hand and looked at it carefully before handing the pendant to Yanzi's hand.
"Thank you, Brother Zhuang..."
Although Yanzi didn't know how much this thing was worth, she knew Fatty Jin's profession. She smiled sweetly at Zhuang Rui, which made Zhuang Rui feel very satisfied. This Fatty Jin was really a damn old man.
The cow gnaws the young grass.
"Brother, you must have something to do when you come to your door today, right? If you have anything to say, just say it. I will do it for you if I can..."
After a few rude words with Zhuang Rui, Fatty Jin asked straight to the point. He knew that he didn't have the dignity to let Zhuang Rui come to visit him for New Year greetings.
Zhuang Rui smiled and said: "Brother Jin, this is really something. I have bought the Panjiayuan shop we talked about some time ago, but I want to change the name..."
"Haha, I understand. Brother, do you want to ask the teacher for a picture?" Fatty Jin laughed when he heard this.
