Chapter 191 Jealous
The third update, this chapter is updated with 4,000! Please give me a monthly ticket, and I will update at least five times today!
I made an appointment to pay the house tomorrow, and Zhang Chao said goodbye and left.
As soon as he left the door, Zhang Chao said to the four people with a smile, "Do you a favor and get me three thousand guan."
Li Gan and the other four looked helpless. Zhang Chao was so arrogant inside just now that he didn't have to bargain, so he directly offered a high price to shock the owner of the house. As a result, as soon as he went out, he came to borrow money from them.
"Ichiro, I only have 300 stakes of savings, and I am going to invest in Zuixianlou." Cheng Chumo said in a low voice.
"You can slow down the Zuixianlou first, and there is no rush for one or two days. You can give me the 300 guan first, and then find a way to get 200 guan for me." Zhang Chao looked like he was collecting protection fees for lower grade students at the gate of the school.
"Where do I go to get two hundred stakes? I have accumulated these three hundred stakes for a long time."
"I don't care if you are going to borrow, steal and rob. Anyway, tomorrow morning, you four will get me five hundred stag, and I will get one thousand of them myself." Zhang Chao said harshly.
Li Gan was speechless, "Sanlang, you don't need three thousand guan. Who doesn't know that my sister-in-law brought a million guan wealth to the Zhang family. Just the makeup and dowry of each family, and the gifts given by each family during wedding banquets, aren't it? You still ask us for three thousand guan."
"Thirteen Niang's dowry is her, including the makeup and gifts. I have given it to her. If I buy a suite, do I have to ask my wife for money?"
"Then do you want us?"
"You are brothers, shouldn't brothers help me at this time? You just say whether to borrow or not, and that's what you'll lose in the future." Zhang Chao was very unreasonable.
The family really can't afford 3,000 guan. If you get 1,000 guan, you have to take time out the family's cash. As for Thirteen Niang's money, it's okay to get 3,000 guan. However, Zhang Chao doesn't plan to ask her for it.
Zhang Chao wanted to give Thirteen Niang a surprise.
"Believe me, as long as you go back and tell your father that he was lent me money, they will definitely give it as much as possible. I, Zhang Sanlang, still have this face. When you go back, you will say that I will borrow a thousand guan from you. When your family gives you the money, you only need to lend me five hundred guan. How about it, in this way, I will get five hundred and you will get five hundred, right?"
Li Gan was so amused and crying.
"What I said is a good idea. You borrow a thousand from your family and give me five hundred guan, and the remaining five hundred guan will be invested in Zuixianlou. Then you have saved all the pocket money you used to have. Isn't it good?"
"Sanlang, didn't you say yesterday that you invested in Zuixianlou, and you only need 300 guan per person?"
"I just decided to raise the price, five hundred per person."
"this"
"What's this? If you talk about it, I won't take you with you for 500 points."
The four guys thought about it and thought that Zhang Chao's idea was not bad. They asked for 1,000 guan from their family, and then lent 500 guan to Zhang Chao, and 500 guan to Zuixianlou, so that the money in his hands remained the same.
"When will you pay back the money?" Li Gan asked.
"I will pay it back when Zuixianlou makes money."
When will it take you to earn 2,000 guan from Zuixianlou? But a few guys are quite loyal and finally agreed.
"I'll go and withdraw money right away." Li Gan was a big family and the one who didn't lack money was him. Zhang Chao probably didn't need to borrow a thousand guan from his father Li Gai or his brother Li Shiji, and he could just take it out. However, he didn't lend it to him just now, and he knew that 1 thousand guan was not a problem for the Cheng Niu and Yuchi family.
Sometimes borrowing some money can also enhance the relationship.
"Okay, then I'll wait for you here." Zhang Chao said with a smile. "Just, Li San, you can lend me an extra thousand guan, so I can save you from my family."
Seeing a few guys riding horses to run home, Zhang Chao added another sum to his account book in his heart.
If you borrow three thousand guan and 8 thousand guan owed Qin Qiong, Zhang Chao owed 11,000 guan. Damn, you really have too much debt. It would be strange if you don’t ow so much money.
However, people who can owe so much money are also capable, just like those who can owe hundreds of millions of dollars in the bank in later generations, who are not very casual, and only those who owe tens of thousands of thousands of dollars can live the most tiring.
However, Zhang Chao is not completely in debt. The Zhang family still has more than 2,000 fields, 8,000 acres of ditch slopes, and eleven shops and several workshops. The Zhang family still has hundreds of cows!
Not to mention that Thiran Niang still has so many industries.
No, how can men live on women's dowry? Wouldn't they be a soft-hearted person?
I still have to find a way to make more money, and at least I have to pay back the debts. The business prospects of that fat farm are good, but it is difficult to spread it all at once. I have to try production on a small scale first, and at least I have to determine the efficiency of the fertilizer, which is realistic. Then I have to go through the trial sale to give farmers some first experience. Zhang Chao estimated that the manure business would not work in less than three years.
The cycle is quite long, and it is difficult to make a lot of money in a short period of time.
Why!
Although a new furniture workshop was built at home, it is not difficult to make a small profit or a big profit. It also needs to be promoted little by little so that everyone can gradually get used to accepting these new furniture.
What do you do to make money quickly?
It is estimated that selling salt will make money quickly, but there are already people who have controlled these interests such as salt ponds such as salt removal, or sea salt such as Huai salt in the east. It is difficult for Zhang Chao to enter the market.
Perhaps Zhang Chao can make money by selling sugar secret recipes like the last time he sold sugar.
But this is unpaid.
If you have soap, you may be able to build a soap shop. After all, only those rich people can use soap, and sales are still limited. For soap, control the cost, the cost is not high. If you take the mid-to-low-end route, not to mention that everyone can use it, at least those small landlords, merchants, and some self-cultivated farmers can use it.
As long as the quantity is large, you can still make money. If the publicity is in place and the market is spread out, it will probably make more money than soap.
Or can you make some glass yourself?
She treated the glass mirror she gave to Thiran Niang like a treasure. It is obvious that the glass mirror will definitely be very popular. Even ordinary glass products are probably very valuable.
However, making glass is not easy, especially if you want to create clear and transparent glass, it is even more difficult to create various shapes. As for glass mirrors, the process seems to be more complicated.
Zhang Chao estimated that he could at most get some green glass out or some glass balls now.
After thinking about it for a long time, Zhang Chao didn't pay attention when someone came to him.
Fang Xuanling came back from get off work from the Qin Palace. He rode a big green mule and only brought two Changsui around him. When he was about to reach the doorstep, he saw someone squatting on the street.
A villager squatted there, but he was still in a dark green official uniform.
Fang Xuanling looked down at the same green official uniform on his body and felt speechless. After looking closely, he found that the young man who was squatting there and wondering what he was doing seemed a little familiar.
"Well, isn't this Zhang Sanlang?"
Fang Xuanling strangled the mule, jumped off the mule, and walked a few steps to Zhang Chao. He found that Zhang Sanlang was holding a branch in his hand, slashing around the ground, muttering something in his mouth, but he couldn't hear it clearly. It seemed like it was something like ten thousand coins, glass, or something.
"Hey, Zhang Sanlang, what are you doing here? But come to find someone?"
"ah?"
Zhang Chao came to his senses and turned his head to find Fang Qiao and Fang Xuanling laughing at him.
"Oh, the room is good."
"I asked Saburo what he was doing here?"
"Ah, I'm waiting for someone here."
"Wait for someone?" Fang Xuanling was a little curious. Your house didn't live here. When you were on duty, you were wearing an official robe and squatting on the street to wait for someone. "If Sanlang doesn't think the humble house is simple, why not follow me into the house and have a cup of hot tea first. I can let my entourage wait for you here, how about it?"
Follow Fang Xuanling into Fang Mansion.
The house that Zhang Chao wants to buy is separated by a wall, but it is much smaller, and there are not many houses in the house, which is quite simple.
As Li Shimin's first strategist, Fang Xuanling actually had a good background. He was a family of officials in Shandong. His great-grandfather was also an earl of the Later Wei Dynasty. Fang Xuanling's ancestors had all become county magistrates for several generations.
His father Fang Yanqian also followed Yang Guangdong to serve as the military supervisor of Fuyu Dao. He was also a famous bachelor in the late Sui Dynasty and a famous calligraphy master. Later he was called one of the four calligraphy masters in the early Tang Dynasty.
Fang Xuanling had a good family education. At the age of 18, he passed the imperial examination in the Sui Dynasty and served as the Xichengwei. Later, when he saw the chaos in the Sui Dynasty, he knew that the Sui Dynasty was about to destroy the country. Li Shimin joined forces with him, so he ran to take the initiative to join him. From then on until now, he has been with Li Shimin for advice.
The Fang family is indeed quite frugal, but it is very clean, and the yard and houses are very neat.
"Sanlang sits."
Fang Xuanling called Zhang Chao to sit down in the room. Zhang Chao looked at him and didn't see the warm kang or the floor.
Someone came to serve tea, but it was actually an old mother.
Zhang Chao suddenly remembered that it seemed that Fang Xuanling was very afraid of his wife Lu. He was good at handling housework, but he had the only one who was strict with Fang Xuanling and refused to take a concubine. I heard that there was not even a young and beautiful slave in the family.
All of them can be compared with Emperor Wen of Sui, Dugu Jialuo.
"Go and call Dalang to see the guests."
After a moment, Fang Xuanling's eldest son Fang Yi came out. The young boy was probably fifteen or sixteen years old, with a fine beard on his lips, and he looked quite old-fashioned.
He came up to pay a polite greeting to Zhang Chao and called Zhang Chao Uncle.
This cannot be tolerated.
"You and I are the same age as each other. Dalang just calls me brother, or you can call me Saburo directly. I am not a few years older than you."
After asking Fang Xuanling, I found out that Fang Yizhi was just fourteen years old this year and is studying in the Imperial College now.
"We will be neighbors in the future. Dalang can come to my house to walk around more when he has time." Zhang Chao said to him with a smile.
Fang Xuanling was surprised, "Can Sanlang be here today? Is he here to buy the house next door to the Wang family?"
"Yes, I heard that there is such a good house for sale in Wubenfang, so I came to see it. It was really good. The house is the Imperial College, and the two of them are Fang Mou and Duan, so I decided to buy it on the spot. I was just waiting outside for someone to send money to deliver it."
Hearing Fang Mou Duan’s praise, Fang Xuanling smiled, “Congratulations to Saburo, that mansion is really good. I wonder how much it costs to buy it?”
"Three thousand stakes."
Fang Xuanling was shocked. Zhang Sanlang is really rich.
