…

The village where Wu Chengen was trading was located in the east of Lantian County. I don't know if it was a coincidence, but it happened to be at the foot of Taibai Mountain, but the location was a bit off.

But for Li Anran, the location was a good thing. If he hadn't just bought the jade material and exchanged it for a thousand taels of gold, the funds on hand would have dropped sharply.

Li Anran even planned to find an opportunity to ask the Lantian County Government if they could take over the entire land outside the Taibai Mountain adjacent to Zhuangzi.

Since Zhuangzi was too far away from the county seat, Li Anran was not in a hurry to receive it. Instead, he followed Wu Chengen to visit three shops while there was still some time before evening.

One of these three shops is located in the east city of the county, which is later known as the downtown commercial street. The market entrance is very good, but the only shortcoming is that the area is slightly smaller.

Of course, the smallness here is also relative. In addition to the front door, which is at least seven or eight meters wide, there is also a large house in the backyard.

According to Wu Chengen, this shop was originally a business selling pens, inks, paper and inkstones. Later, due to some problems with the owner, it was taken over by Hongfu Building.

After looking at this store, Li Anran felt that it was quite good. If he didn't want to change the business project, he could basically take over and run it, and he could also bring some regular customers.

After pondering for a while, Li Anran had an idea in his mind and decided to let this shop continue to operate the four treasures of the study, calligraphy, painting and storybooks for the time being.

As for the question of whether to make money or not, Li Anran has never really put the emphasis on running these small businesses. Regardless of speed or value, luxury goods such as glass, colored glaze, mirrors, artificial gemstones, etc.

Kingly way.

Of course, Li Anran also knew that if he brought luxury goods such as glass and colored glaze from modern time and space to the Tang Dynasty, it would not only affect the market situation where rare things are more valuable, but it would also probably cause some unhappiness.

Necessary trouble.

Li An, who knows that he is just starting out and doesn't have any self-protection capital, will not be stupid enough to do anything random. Otherwise, I will not throw away the snow candy recipe and just exchange for 30% of the profits and dividends.

Things come up.

Except for this shop in the East Market, which is the commercial street in the city center, the other two are in the West Market in Lantian County. Compared with the East Market, which targets mid-to-high-end customers, the West Market mainly targets ordinary customers.

Common people.

What makes Li Anran happy is that even though the West Market is not as good as the East Market in many aspects, the environment is not so bad that defecation can be seen everywhere. Moreover, the market entrance of these two shops is quite good.

One of the shops is also a restaurant. Although it is far inferior to Hongfu Building in terms of scale and quality, it is more advantageous in that it is large enough. Not only does it have a courtyard for people to live in, it even contains a warehouse for storing goods.

The other shop is an inn, which is the kind of place where you can eat and stay together. Unlike the shop in Dongshi that has closed down, these two shops are operating normally. As for business, they are not that good.

.

After Li Anran walked around these two shops, he finally understood from a modern perspective why the business in these two shops was just average. Without other features, there was no special feature, and the price was not comparable.

How beneficial.

These two shops are not the only ones doing the same business in the entire Lantian County, and the consumer groups are only those. After dividing the profits among each other, it is actually quite good to be able to maintain a weak profit without starting any price war to hurt people.

Li Anran didn't care about the business of these two shops, and he didn't plan to change it at the same time, at least not now. After all, he had only arrived in Datang a few days ago and had just settled down, so he had no foundation at all.

, developing slowly is the way to go.

When Wu Chengen called the shopkeepers and waiters in the two shops to tell them that they had changed to a new owner, Li Anran's attitude was very simple, and everything remained as it was. The only thing he did was to make a special statement in the books.

He said that since he had just taken over the store, he would not pursue any problems that had occurred in the past. But if he found out that someone still wanted to mess around after he took over, he would be severely punished.

Even though Li Anran did not major in economics in modern time and space, he still knows some basic accounting knowledge. After all, his family treats people and sells wine, and he has been exposed to this aspect since he was a child.

, practice makes perfect.

As for whether the shopkeepers of these two shops could hear him, Li Anran actually didn't care. Although the following crimes did not happen in ancient times, they were only very rare phenomena after all.

Not to mention that these shops were all sold to him by Wu Chengen. If there was any problem, just like the other party said on the spot that he would never tolerate it. If a "shuo rat" really showed up, he would be the loser.

face.

After walking around the three shops, Li Anran didn't care how much the three places together were worth. After a formality, that night at Hongyun Building, he ordered Gu Bangcai, Sun Changgeng and the others according to the noon specifications.

Had a banquet.

Although Li Anran paid for it this time, the specific arrangement was still made by Wu Chengen, the fat man. But seeing the man's burly look when he moved even a little, Li Anran was really worried that this man would suddenly belch because of his high school status.

What a fart.

During the banquet, Su Xiaomei, a wealthy courtean from Cuihonglou, the best brothel in Lantian County, was specially invited to sing a song that Li Anran didn't understand in a light voice, which was praised by everyone including Gu Bangcai.

The only thing that makes Li Anran dissatisfied is that the identity he made up before can indeed be of some use. But since he has the identity of an outsider, it is naturally difficult for him to act like visiting a brothel. At least it will be short-term.

Don’t think about it within the time limit.

Fortunately, Li Anran's many years of pure Yang Kung Fu and swordsmanship are not in vain. Even if he still has a crush on beautiful girls and physical impulses, at least he will not be unable to control this aspect and do anything bad.

Something ugly.

Moreover, Su Xiaomei is too young, only fifteen years old, and the development of ancient people would have taken a lot of time in later generations, so she is considered a lolita in later generations. However, although her appearance is a bit greener, she can already tell

She is a beautiful woman.

It's not surprising when you think about it. Although the women in ancient brothels also needed to be proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting to win the favor of high-ranking officials, their appearance and figure still had to play a big role, otherwise they would look like Furong.

It doesn't matter how talented you are.

It can be seen that this person is also beautiful, and she has the appearance of a goddess in later generations. She also plays the accordion and the music well and sings beautifully. As the host of this banquet, Li Anran will naturally not be stingy with rewards.

, raising your hand is a "hall master" (?).

It's not that Li Anran doesn't have the money to reward more (such as the leader of Wen Wen's dream). Firstly, he doesn't want to appear too taken advantage of. Secondly, the reward of twenty taels of silver is not too small, and it is enough to exchange it for copper coins.

Twenty thousand dollars.

Even if prices were relatively high during this period in the first year of Zhenguan, this amount of money was not too small. Although it was far less than those wealthy people who liked to spend a lot of money, given Li Anran's current status, it was just right.

If you give too much, you will be too extravagant, let alone being taken advantage of. If you give too little, you will not be able to get rid of it, which will be too low. In addition, these silver bars brought from modern time and space are all 9999

Pure silver is worth more than ordinary silver.

But what made Li Anran a little surprised was that after the dinner, he returned to the exquisite small garden where he had temporarily settled. After hearing the report from the servants arranged here, the waiter from Hongfu Building brought the waiter from Cuihua Building.
