Looking at Zhang Jingxiu's bright and pretty face, there seems to be a little bit of pride in the success of his plan hidden in that serious expression.
Shen Lie became confused again and muttered in his heart: "Judging from the expression of this Miss Zhang, have I been fooled?"
But now it seems that it is too late to regret it.
Miss Zhang closed the folding fan, turned around like a whirlwind, and said hello: "Zhang Kui!"
Zhang Kui hurriedly responded, stepped forward quickly, and took out a baggage as if by magic, then took out pen, ink, paper and inkstone from the baggage, as well as a written document, and finally took out a seal.
Then Zhang Kui stepped forward and placed the documents on the table.
Shen Lie stared blankly at the joining documents on the table and couldn't help but touch his head. He felt a little dumbfounded. It seemed that Miss Zhang had already planned this before she came.
Did you prepare all the documents for joining the partnership overnight?
The beautiful lady in men's clothing opened the folding fan again, fanning herself gently, and then looked at Shen Lie with a pair of bright eyes.
The corners of her fair mouth were raised slightly, and the teasing intention became even more obvious.
Shen Lie was even more sure that he had been fooled.
Then, a few more words spilled out of Miss Zhang's rosy mouth: "Brother Shen, what are you still doing in a daze... Just sign and stamp."
Shen Lie was feeling a little confused.
But Miss Zhang looked unkind and snorted: "Huh?"
Shen Lie gritted his teeth and said hurriedly: "I'll sign!"
You are rich and powerful, your father is the chief minister of the Ming Dynasty, and your brother is the commander of the Imperial Guard.
Everything you say is right.
So Shen Lie picked up the document, looked through it word by word with a grimace.
At this time, he also wanted to use his limited business knowledge to find some loopholes in this document and see if he could exploit it.
This document for joining a partnership is called Wanjin Account, which is actually the partnership system in later generations and the prototype of the later joint-stock system.
In the early years of Wanli, an era when commerce was extremely prosperous, Wanjin account was quite common in major merchant gangs. This partnership business system originated from Shaanxi merchant gangs.
To put it more simply, it is a method in which everyone contributes money to do business together, and the person in charge combines many funds.
The so-called Wanjin Account is to effectively integrate the funds of all people who are willing to participate and record everyone's investment status in a book.
The Wanjin Account records each person's corresponding shares, as well as detailed information such as each person's dividends after the business makes profits.
This way.
Everyone who invests becomes a shareholder.
Shen Lie looked at the black and white account in front of him, and it turned out to be very meticulous. All the regulations, profit distribution and risk-taking were clearly marked.
Profit sharing and risk sharing.
The meticulousness of this Ten Thousand Gold Account even made Shen Lie, a time traveler, find it eye-opening!
Shen Lie was checking word for word.
Zhang Jingxiu, who was sitting opposite, smiled slightly, leaned over and said softly: "Brother Shen, don't bother, Jingxiu begged my second brother to ask someone to get this ten thousand gold account."
Shen Lie was stunned again and said in confusion: "Your second brother?"
At this time, Zhang Kui said from the side: "My second young master was the first and second Jinshi in Ding Chou in the fifth year of Wanli. He was second in the list and was awarded the title of Editor of the Hanlin Academy..."
In an instant, Shen Lie gave up, as there was no loophole left.
Dang Ji picked up a fine wolf hair, dipped it in some ink, signed the document, pressed his fingerprint, and stamped the seal.
Shen Lie had just pressed his fingerprints and received three 100-tael silver notes. Zhang Jingxiu stretched out his delicate hand and snatched away the documents on the table.
As if she had found a treasure, Miss Zhang handed Zhang Kui a ten thousand gold account and whispered: "Put it away."
Zhang Kui stuffed the document into his arms and said firmly: "Don't worry, young master, I won't lose it!"
At this time, Zhang Jingxiu was already satisfied. Looking at the confused Shen Lie, she smiled again, then she stood up and patted the non-existent dust on her body.
Move the lotus steps lightly.
Miss Zhang walked towards the outside of the store. Before leaving, she dropped a sentence: "Brother Shen, please get busy and tidy up the store. I'll come back tomorrow."
Finished speaking.
The beauty in men's clothing moved lightly and quickly walked out of the shop.
Zhang Kui hurriedly followed closely, but before leaving, he stretched out his hand and patted Shen Lie on the shoulder. He looked at Shen Lie sympathetically, and then sighed.
Let’s talk about the clear look.
Stop wondering.
You can't beat my lady.
Shen Lie shivered when he was photographed and nodded instinctively.
The small shop fell into an eerie silence. Yun'er, Aunt Li, and the waitress were all in the back kitchen, craning their necks to look...
Watching Shen Lie sitting alone in the lobby in a daze.
I don't know how long it took, but the waiter came over quietly, stretched out his hand, waved it in front of Shen Lie, and saw Shen Lie's eyes move.
Shen Lie said blankly: "What to do?"
The waiter breathed a sigh of relief, waved to Yun'er, Aunt Li and others, and said relaxedly: "The shopkeeper is fine, just...a little confused."
Shen Lie rolled his eyes again angrily.
Afternoon, cheap shop.
After the diners dispersed, Shen Lie held the three hundred taels of silver notes in his hand and sat on the chair thinking about it for a long time, still a little confused.
After going through the matter from beginning to end, he wrote a poem, went to Miss Zhang to borrow money, and was kicked out by Miss Zhang.
But how did it happen that her own shop was bought by her for three hundred taels of silver?
"I..."
Shen Lie couldn't help but scratch his head. How could he go from being the founder and the dignified shopkeeper of Bianyifang to the second shareholder and general manager in such a confusing manner?
A bright and charming face appeared in his mind, making Shen Lie dumbfounded for a moment. This Miss Zhang's methods are really amazing!
She is truly worthy of being the daughter of Zhang Juzheng, the daughter of the chief minister of the dynasty, and a lady who has seen a lot of people in the world.
Shen Lie felt that it was not unfair at all for his small store to be acquired.
But why did she do this?
Shen Lie couldn't help but touched his head again and sighed in his heart. A woman's heart is like a needle in the sea, let alone the eldest daughter of the chief minister's family, her thoughts are even more unpredictable.
Maybe this is the result of having money and being willful.
At this time, Yun'er walked over lightly, looked at Shen Lie's face and said softly: "Young Master... I think Miss Zhang is a nice person."
Shen Lie rolled his eyes angrily and almost fainted on the spot.
For a long time, Shen Lie looked at the cute little maid and said with a helpless smile: "It makes sense."
It was better for her to acquire the famous brand of Braised and Huoshao that she founded by herself than to be squeezed to death by others.
"okay."
Shen Lie simply spread his hands and didn't bother to struggle.
So be it.
Lying flat.
Looking up at the sky, Shen Lie murmured to himself: "What an evil capitalist."
The next day, early morning.
The inner residence of the Taishi Mansion.
The thrush was chirping, and before dawn, the pretty maid with a round face who was sleeping in the suite got up from the bed, rubbed her sleepy eyes, and put on her clothes.
But when the maid raised her head, she saw a light on in the lady's boudoir.
The maid was stunned, then walked over quietly, standing at the door of the boudoir and watching her young lady sitting in front of the dressing table, flipping through a piece of paper.
The piece of paper was clearly a signed and pledged purchase document, and at this moment, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised on the pretty face of my young lady, showing a playful smile.
This look...
It seemed that she was reminiscing about a very special moment, and a moving light appeared on her pretty face, which looked so crystal clear under the candlelight.
