Zhang Cheng looked at Kou Ji with a strange expression.
Although Luo Runniang is in charge of the family, Zhang Cheng has always been in charge of the business in the shop.
Zhang Cheng is very proficient in business matters.
He has heard of interest of one cent and a half, but rarely sees it in business.
In the business world, the lowest interest rate you can see is three-point interest.
Kou Ji seemed to be very cruel and doubled the interest, but Zhang Cheng still felt that Kou Ji was pitying him and giving him alms.
Among friends and brothers, what they fear most is pity and charity.
Originally, the status of two people was equal, but once pity and charity appeared, the status would change drastically.
Especially in ancient times, the relationship between the benefactor and the beneficiary could easily turn into a master-servant relationship in a very short period of time.
"Brother Koji...thank you for your kindness, brother...it's just..."
Zhang Cheng politely declined.
Before he finished speaking, Kou Ji took over the topic, "Brother Zhang Cheng, you think I'm pitying you, but I feel like I'm taking advantage."
Kou Ji pointed at Liu Heng behind him and said: "To tell you the truth, that piece of land belongs to both of us. As two of us, we cannot stay on that piece of land forever.
So we have to find someone who knows the basics to help us look after it.
When the shop was rebuilt, it was impossible for us to go and watch. After the shop was rebuilt and it opened for business, we couldn't always go there and watch.
At that time, you will have to come forward and help us solve some trivial matters.
This thing looks like I sold you a piece of land at a low price, but it would be better to say that I hired a shopkeeper for free."
"If you think about it carefully, who of us suffered in this matter? None of us suffered. This is a good thing for both parties."
Kou Jixiao uses emotion and moves with reason.
Zhang Cheng was still hesitant after hearing this, but Luo Runniang was moved.
Luo Runniang knew how much she had been looking down on and making things difficult for her after renting other people's shops for many years.
Now that she has the opportunity to own a shop of her own, it's hard for her not to be tempted.
Luo Runniang tugged on Zhang Cheng's sleeve and persuaded her in a low voice: "My father, what the Kou brothers said makes sense. He is a person who wants to do big things, so he can't waste all his time on business. Since he has a shop,
Someone has to take care of it..."
Kou Ji nodded and said, "I can't trust others, but I can trust brother Zhang Cheng."
Kou Ji had said it to this extent, and Zhang Cheng couldn't refuse anymore.
His shop was smashed, and judging from Liu Congde's attitude, it was obvious that he would not let it go.
If he stays in Siwazi City from now on, Liu Congde will definitely come over again and again to cause trouble.
It was different when I moved to Zhouqiao Street.
Kaifeng Mansion is located on the edge of Zhouqiao Street. There are inspection stations at regular intervals on the street, where government officials often work.
Most of the people walking on the street were dignitaries.
If Liu Congde wanted to cause trouble in Zhouqiao Street, he had to worry about the attitude of the Kaifeng Mansion and the attitudes of the dignitaries on the street.
Although Liu Congde was protected by the queen, he still dealt with him when he met ruthless people like Kou Zhun and Li Di.
Zhang Cheng puffed up his chest slightly, cupped his hands to Kou Ji and said, "Since brother Kou Ji has kindly invited you, I will agree to your invitation. However, I will tell you the ugly things in front of you. You can get the land money that I give you every month."
Take it back as promised. If you refuse, we brothers will have nothing to do."
Hearing this, Kou Ji laughed loudly, "My silly brother, is there anyone in this world who thinks you have too much money? I'm afraid that you won't be able to make so much money by then, and I will have to collect debts every month."
Zhang Cheng was amused by Kou Ji's naughty words.
Laughing along.
A few people got together and chatted for a while.
After chatting.
Zhang Cheng acted as host and invited Kou Ji, Liu Heng and Er Bao to have a simple meal.
After dinner, Zhang Cheng invited some idle people in the real estate market to help him sort out the things in the shop and move them back to the small courtyard they rented in Bianjing City.
Kou Ji and Liu Heng went over and acknowledged the door.
After agreeing on a time to go to Kaifeng Mansion to sign the contract and go to Zhouqiao Street to look at the land, Kou Ji and Liu Heng left.
On the road.
Liu Heng clicked his lips and sighed: "Fourth brother, I can see that you are really generous to your brothers. Whoever becomes your brother will definitely be very happy."
Kou Ji rolled his eyes, "Aren't you my brother?"
Liu Heng chuckled and said, "So I'm very happy."
"By the way, you have snatched the land deed of Dadong Mihang. What are you going to do with it?"
Liu Heng asked.
Kou Ji pondered: "Xiwazi City is too chaotic and troubles often occur. I don't have time to go to Xiwazi City to deal with trivial matters. And now Dadong Rice Store has been targeted by your brother. If he
Knowing that we are keeping Dadong Mihang for our own use, we will definitely take the opportunity to do some small tricks.
So I plan to sell the property deeds and land deeds of Dadong Mihang.
You can go to Yahang, pick a few people with strong backgrounds and big connections, and sell them the house deeds and land deeds.
After getting the money, I will go with my brother Zhang Cheng tomorrow to look at the wood and stone materials used to rebuild the shop, and build the shop as soon as possible."
Liu Heng frowned and said, "Fourth brother wants to do business? Will the money come in too slowly?"
Kou Ji paused, looked at Liu Heng seriously, and said: "Business is the real money grabbing!"
Liu Heng was stunned, "Faster than the one who tricked the Wu family?"
Kou Ji hesitated for a moment and said, "Maybe..."
The reason why Kou Ji hesitates is because he is not yet sure which path he will take in the future.
Should I go into business or be an official...
"I believe you!"
Liu Heng gave Kou Ji a big smile.
Kou Ji patted Liu Heng on the shoulder and smiled, "By the way, my grandfather asked me to go to Taixue to study. Do you want to go with me?"
Liu Heng was shocked when he heard this, "What I hated the most since I was a child is studying... If you go to Taixue to study, you might as well kill me."
Kou Ji curled his lips and said deceitfully: "Actually, Taixue is a very interesting place."
Liu Heng didn't believe his deception and kept shaking his head, "My brother went to Taixue. In just two days, his palms were swollen."
Kou Ji said in shock: "We are all adults. If you don't let him hit you, he can still force him to hit you."
"I won't go anyway..."
Liu Heng refused verbally.
Kou Ji deceived him all the way, but Liu Heng didn't let go.
When the two of them arrived at Zhouqiao Street, Liu Heng said, "By the way, fourth brother, I almost forgot, I have a treasure to give you."
"Baby? What baby?"
Kou Ji looked confused.
Liu Heng chuckled and said, "Do you believe there are people in this world who can see through the fake paintings you drew?"
Kou Ji was stunned and said suspiciously: "The treasure you want to give me is a human being, and a person who can see through my deception?"
Liu Heng nodded heavily.
"Go and see..."
"In Wanhua Building."
"..."
The two of them took the opposite route and went to Wanhua Tower.
Liu Heng was only focused on presenting the treasure to Kou Ji, but he forgot one thing.
A very important thing.
That is, he made an appointment with Wu Xian to visit Liu's house today.
Outside the Liu Mansion.
Wu Xian came to see Liu Mei with a generous gift. Before he could enter, he was chased out by the vicious servants of the Liu family who were guarding the door.
He told Liu Heng's name several times, but the servants of the Liu family ignored him.
