Chapter 4 Wasting Expressions(1/2)
"This idiot. Haha!"
After Guo Dan went down, Zhou Feng laughed constantly, and could only say that Guo Dan was a bit too straightforward. He shook his head and sighed: "I think that Old Man Kou has been smart all his life, but he has fallen into such a big fall in this heir. It's really a wise man who has been thinking about it, and he will definitely make a mistake."
As he said that, he suddenly looked at Liu Chengbian and said, "If Old Man Kou had agreed to marry your Liu family, I'm afraid you had the final say in the whole store, how could it be today!"
Liu Chengbian's face changed slightly and he did not answer this.
Zhou Feng continued, "My nephew must be very disappointed at this time."
Liu Cheng became surprised and said, "What does Uncle Zhou mean?"
Zhou Feng laughed and said, "You asked me to come to Kou's family just to meet Miss Kou. I never thought that Old Man Kou still had hope for that idiot."
A hint of embarrassment flashed in Liu Chengbian's eyes, but he said, "I just hope to compete fairly with the Kou family, and to win and be open and honest. Of course, our Liu family will definitely not lose."
"I just appreciate your confidence in your nephew." Zhou Feng said seriously again: "What do you think about Chen Lou?"
Liu Chengbian's expression was retracted and said seriously: "From the current situation, buying Chenlou should not be a problem, because Chenlou can't hold on for long. The problem lies in the price. Calculated by the land price around Liangyuan, the entire Chenlou is worth about 3,500 taels. But I think Uncle Zhou is not about wine. With Uncle Zhou's financial resources, he will not care about this restaurant. Therefore, the nephew thinks that what Uncle Zhou wants most is Chenlou's kitchen."
Three thousand five hundred taels sound like not much, but now it is not a small amount!
If calculated based on the price of grain, this tael of silver is about 600 yuan, 3500 taels, or more than 2 million yuan in later generations. However, due to the different output, production level, and productivity of the two eras, the current cost of living must be considered.
Nowadays, ordinary people spend only about twenty taels per year, while the housing prices in the prosperous areas of the capital are almost 1.5 taels of silver per square meter. Because Liangyuan is a good location, it is probably two taels per square meter. Because the Ming Dynasty is still a small peasant economy and people are scattered, houses are not a big problem for the people of the Ming Dynasty.
"clever."
A hint of praise flashed in Zhou Feng's eyes and said, "Then how much do you think the money is appropriate?"
Liu Chengbian said with five fingers: "One thousand five hundred taels, a total of five thousand taels."
Zhou Feng pondered for a moment and nodded, "Reasonable."
In fact, the kitchen refers to the secret recipe of chefs or dishes. Nowadays, the chefs of restaurants are either related to the restaurant owner or sign a lifelong contract with the restaurant, which is equivalent to being bound to the restaurant, because if they are bound to the boss, then they will be very troublesome when they are buying and selling.
These chefs alone, or the secret method of dishes, are worth 1,500 taels. It can be seen that the merchants of the Ming Dynasty already had a very high awareness and knew that this talent was the key, not the house.
And Guo Dan came downstairs and did not forget to take away the packaged food.
Of course, he didn't pay or even had a banquet, so he would have to run errands. No matter how small the mosquito is, it's meat, and his pocket money is not much for a month.
After leaving the Jinyu Tower, Guo Dan did not rush back, but slowly went to Liangyuan behind the Jinyu Tower.
"Big brother, big brother."
The little beggar ran over from the side just now.
"Hold it." Guo Dan handed him the small bamboo basket in his hand.
"It smells so good!" The little beggar took a deep breath and swallowed again, "Is this the dish of Jinyulou?"
"Um!"
Guo Dan nodded: "I just tasted a little too."
"Thank you, brother. Thank you, brother!" The little beggar took the basket, his little face looked secretly happy. He didn't care whether he had eaten it before, and muttered in a low voice: "I will be very happy to see it."
Guo smiled lightly and said, "If you have time to go to Chenlou in the afternoon, I will give you another supper."
"Really?" the little beggar said in disbelief.
Guo Dan nodded and asked, "What's your name?"
"My name is Cao Xiaodong."
Cao Xiaodong looked at Guo Dan curiously and said curiously: "Brother, why are you so kind to me?"
Guo Dan just smiled and said, "Remember, if you have time in the afternoon, come to Chenlou."
"I...I will definitely go." Cao Xiaodong couldn't even say anything excited.
In his opinion, it may be that he had encountered a living Bodhisattva who saved the suffering.
Little did he know that Guo Dan was a wolf in sheep's clothing, and the money he offered was all with interest attributes.
After the little beggar left happily with the food, Guo Dan walked around Liangyuan again, bought some snacks, and while eating, he was watching the beautiful scenery of Liangyuan. He couldn't help but feel emotion. In the past, I often flew around, thinking about how to make more money, but I never thought of stopping for a moment and enjoying the scenery along the way. Alas... I really don't know if I got more or lost more?
After swimming for a long time, Guo Dan saw that the time was almost done, so he quietly went to Chenlou.
But he did not go to Chenlou directly, but went to the house behind Chenlou.
After the notice, Guo Tiandai entered the hall and saw an old man with black and white hair and slightly fat body sitting inside.
This old man is Chen Fangyuan, the owner of Chen Lou.
Guo Dan took a step forward and bowed: "I took the initiative to visit me. Please forgive me if I disturb you."
Chen Fangyuan just stretched out his hand very casually, his eyes full of hostility.
Guo Tan thanked him and sat down.
Chen Fangyuan glanced at him and said, "If you were entrusted by Zhou Feng's children, you don't have to worry too much." It can be seen that he had received the news that Zhou Feng had changed his strategy and planned to find a tooth shop to help acquire his Chenlou.
Guo Tan smiled and said, "I heard that the official shop already has the intention of selling a store. Since that's the case, who is not selling it?"
Chen Fangyuan suddenly opened his eyes wide open and said, "No one I will sell it to Zhou Feng, that despicable villain."
Guo Dan said: "It seems that the official is still holding a grudge against Zhou Feng's framed Chen Lou with the second drink."
Chen Fangyuan snorted: "It's good if you know."
Guo Dan said: "But what if Jinyulou is willing to pay 10,000 taels?"
"Don't even think about 10,000 taels..." Chen Fangyuan said halfway, suddenly shut his mouth and said in a slanting ear: "How much did you say just now?"
"Ten thousand taels."
Guo Dan raised a finger and said word by word.
Chen Fangyuan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "It is said that the son-in-law of the Kou family can't do business. Now it seems that this is true. Zhou Feng is despicable, but I have to say that he is very smart. How could he be willing to pay ten thousand taels? You must have drunk too much and didn't hear it clearly."
Of course he knew how much Chenlou was worth, but it was definitely not worth 10,000 or 20,000 yuan. This was just doubled, how could it be possible?
Guo Dan smiled slightly and said, "Why do you have to say this? I'll ask you one thing, 10,000 taels, do you sell it or not?"
Chen Fangyuan frowned and looked at Guo Dan, saying, "If Jinyulou is willing to pay 10,000 taels, of course I will sell it."
Guo Dan shrugged and said, "Isn't that enough?"
Chen Fangyuan became more and more confused and said, "But how could Jinyulou be willing to pay 10,000 taels?"
Guo Dan laughed and said, "It doesn't matter whether he wants to do so. What matters is that I want to sell it to him with 10,000 taels."
"What do you mean?" Chen Fangyuan became more and more confused as he heard it.
Guo Dan said: "Let's be simple. I'll sell you for 10,000 taels, but I'll score two thousand taels."
"Two thousand taels?"
Chen Fangyuan suddenly stood up and said, "You are simply dreaming in the daytime."
According to the rules of the dental business, the dental businessman usually draws three points from it, which is already a lot, and two thousand taels are only 20%, which is unimaginable in the dental business!
Guo Tan smiled and said, "Does the official would rather earn a few thousand taels less than me earn these two thousand taels?"
The price was indeed a bit uncomfortable for Chen Fangyuan. He glanced at Guo Dan, sat down and asked, "Who are you here for?"
Of course he had heard of Guo Dan's deeds. If Guo Dan was serious, then he thought there must be someone behind Guo Dan.
But Guo Dan said: "I myself."
"Kou family?"
"No."
Guo Dan shook his head and said, "I, Guo Dan."
Chen Fangyuan looked at Guo Dan with confusion.
Guo Tan smiled and said, "Outsider, we are doing business and we have to negotiate money. Just say that you will accept this condition. Do you accept it? As for whom I came for, is this important?"
Chen Fangyuan thought for a moment and said, "With that being said, I have to know who I am working with."
Guo Dan said helplessly: "Didn't I already answered? You are working with me, Guo Dan."
Chen Fangyuan said: "If you say something inappropriate, your reputation in Yaxing is not very good!"
“That’s because of the low money.”
Guo Dan shook his head and said seriously: "I have no interest in trading for commissions below one thousand taels."
Chen Fangyuan was so angry that he said, "You are not capable, and you are really angry. Have you ever seen a yarn person who charges a commission of 1,000 taels?"
Guo Dan smiled bitterly and said, "I think that's why my reputation is not very good, because when I see such a little commission, I feel that it's a waste of my time. Only by deliberately messing up the business can the Kou family not let me run here and there every day."
"Yeah?"
"If the official thought I was boasting about myself, we could sign a bet contract."
"Gambling contract?"
"Yes, if I help you sell it for ten thousand taels, you will lose to me 500 taels. With the commission of 200 taels, it will be 2500 taels in total. If I don't do it, I will lose to you 500 taels."
Chen Fangyuan really wanted to criticize Guo Dan and said, "Your appetite is really big. I have to give you another 500 taels of this sentence."
