Shopkeeper Xue left the Wen family and returned to the shop. He met Wen Nuan and Wen Yu face to face. Wen Nuan smiled innocently and said, "Shopkeeper Xue, where are you coming from?"
Shopkeeper Xue's heart skipped a beat before he saluted and said, "Miss Six, I went out for a walk. Is there anything you need to do?"
Wen Nuan immediately turned his face: "You went shopping and ended up at my house, right? Are you dissatisfied with my eldest brother's stewardship, and do you still want my eldest sister to come back?"
Wen Yu's face didn't look good either, and he looked at him like a traitor.
Shopkeeper Xue smiled: "I'm quite honored that Miss Six sent someone to follow me. I'm the boss of the firm, not a slave of the Wen family. Miss Six treats me like this, aren't you afraid of chilling everyone's heart?
I have been with the eldest lady for so many years. Even if the eldest young master takes over the business, won’t I be able to visit the eldest lady?
People, you can't forget your roots. It was the eldest lady who promoted me all the way to where I am today. I respect the eldest lady's choice. Anyway, I get my salary. It doesn't matter who is in charge."
Wen Nuan sneered: "As expected of a great shopkeeper, what he says is better than what he sings."
"This is a fact. If Miss Six doesn't believe it, there's nothing I can do about it."
Wen Yu said: "Forget it, don't talk about this, you can allocate another two hundred thousand taels of silver, I have urgent need."
Shopkeeper Xue's face changed: "Impossible, all the funds have been given to the young master. If we transfer them again, the business bank will not be able to operate."
Wen Yu said: "Is it possible for the huge Wen family to make these hundreds of thousands of taels of silver? Don't coax me. I have helped my eldest sister manage the business for so many years, and the annual turnover is millions of taels of silver. Why?
Don’t have two hundred thousand taels?”
Shopkeeper Xue said earnestly: "Young master, millions of dollars in turnover does not mean that there is so much advancement. The backlog of goods in the caravan and the expenses of the inn and restaurant are all a lot of money.
I have already spent all my efforts on the five hundred thousand taels before, if I take any more, something will really happen."
Wen Yu was displeased and said, "You can think of a way."
Wen Nuan glared at Shopkeeper Xue and followed him into the room.
"This shopkeeper Xue is dishonest at first glance. He clearly doesn't want to give you money. He looks down on you. After all, you are the person promoted by eldest sister, who is on the same level as us."
"Brother, do you think it was the eldest sister who ordered it? The eldest sister's trick is very clever. She is handing over the family business to you. She has gained a good reputation, secretly controls the shopkeepers below, and takes advantage of the boss.
Where is my brother?"
Wen Yu's face turned even uglier. He was so filled with shame and anger that he wanted to go back and immediately questioned Wen Yao.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door, "Come in."
He is the second shopkeeper of the business, his surname is Wang, he is very slippery and knows how to stir up troubles. He has been fawning over Wen Yu ever since he took charge of the business.
"Young Master, hello, Miss Sixth."
Shopkeeper Wang nodded and bowed, looking like a slave, which made Wen Yu feel more comfortable.
"Shopkeeper Wang, what's going on?"
Shopkeeper Wang rolled his eyes and asked cautiously: "My subordinates just saw that the eldest young master and shopkeeper Xue were a little unhappy, so I dared to ask why. Maybe the younger one can help the eldest young master to share his worries."
Wen Nuan smiled, he was here to surrender, "Big brother needs 200,000 taels of silver. Shopkeeper Xue said he doesn't have any. Shopkeeper Wang, can you find the silver?"
Shopkeeper Wang was also in a dilemma. The previous five hundred thousand taels of silver was already the limit, and two hundred thousand taels was not a small amount.
But this is a rare opportunity. If I can help the eldest young master take care of his worries, he may very well be able to replace shopkeeper Xue and become the eldest shopkeeper himself.
"I want to ask, what business does the young master need so much money for?"
Wen Yu said: "It must be a business that makes a lot of money. It requires a lot of capital in the early stage, but if you make money in the later stage, it will be like running water. The Wen family can even surpass the Shen family."
Shopkeeper Wang felt that he was bragging. The Shen family was in deep trouble, and Shen Changfeng kept a low profile. No one knew how much money Shen Changfeng had.
"In this case, there is a way for me. The goods in the caravan cannot be moved. We can sell the fixed assets such as forests and fields, and then redeem them after we make money.
Once you have money, you can't buy any amount of land, and it won't affect the operation of the business."
Wen Yu was a little confused. Those mountains, forests and fields were bought by the eldest sister bit by bit. If he sold them, would he be worthy of the eldest sister?
This is the cub's farm.
Looking at his expression, Wen Nuan knew what he was thinking. He was unhappy and had not made a decision. What was he still struggling with at this time?
"Brother, this is a good idea. Think about it, as long as the iron ore can be mined, there will be so much land and forest that we can't buy. Let's buy it back twice as much. No one can say that Big Brother is not doing well or has no courage."
A "lack of courage" poked Wen Yu's weakness. He must embark on a vigorous career.
"Okay, you can arrange this matter. If you can do it well, the position of chief shopkeeper will be yours."
Shopkeeper Wang was overjoyed: "Young master, don't worry. If you give me seven days, I will definitely come up with 200,000 taels."
"Well, go ahead and get ready."
Shopkeeper Wang got the order and happily went to sell the land.
When shopkeeper Xue heard about the command, he was heartbroken for a while. What kind of person sells his land? He is a prodigal!
The eldest young master is really a bastard, so I don’t feel sorry for him.
But he couldn't control Wen Yu's decision, so he suddenly handed in his resignation. Judging from Wen Yu's several actions, following him could only lead to destruction.
Wen Yu didn't expect that he hadn't opened shopkeeper Xue yet, but he wanted to leave on his own, which made him very uncomfortable. Shopkeeper Xue would rather give up the position of shopkeeper than leave him. How despising this is. Myself!
"Shop Manager Xue, are you sure you want to leave?"
"I'm old and can't do anything anymore. I have accumulated some property over the years, and I just happen to go home to entertain my grandchildren. As the emperor and the courtiers, I left, and I also made room for the eldest young master's cronies, so that we can get together and relax. "
Having said everything so clearly, Wen Yu said: "Okay, I'll give you three more months of salary. Thank you for your hard work over the years."
Shopkeeper Xue smiled bitterly, the eldest lady promised that even if she couldn't do anything, she would receive 1% of the Wen family's dividends every year to provide for her retirement, knowing how many years she would live for a hundred years.
The eldest young master only gave himself three months' salary and sent himself off. He really can't compare with the eldest lady.
"Thank you very much, young master."
Shopkeeper Xue was grateful, packed up his things quickly, handed over the accounts in his hands as quickly as possible, and disappeared into the capital.
Wen Yao received the letter from Shopkeeper Xue. Although she kept reminding herself that he could do whatever he wanted and he would not grow up unless he suffered a loss, he still couldn't help but feel angry that he actually sold his land.
Zhiqin advised her: "Miss, don't be depressed. The eldest young master is determined to have his own way. Miss can stop him. Who dares not to listen to what the eldest lady says in the entire Wen family business?"
