Chapter 243 Opening a fashion store in Tokyo

Lin Xiang nodded in admiration: "What my nephew said is very consistent with my heart. What is the city of Tokyo Bianliang? The top gold sales cave in the world. Every transaction of goods here is about tens of millions of yuan. It is a stinking thing for us to fight wealth with those rich merchants. Only by comparing their origins and backgrounds with them can they be convinced.

Look, what is the old goods in this place? Wash it and say that this is an old thing I have used for 800 years. You have never seen it before, but I am used to it. If you haven’t heard it or not, you can’t blame you for being ignorant, you can only blame your family.”

After a moment of pause, Lin Xiang asked contemptuously: "Wang's small family, I probably dislike you, these are old things, right? I know she will definitely do this..."

Lin Xiang seemed to have finally found such an opportunity to take the position of his sister, but he was arrogant and domineering stepmother Wang. As soon as the topic was opened, Brabra kept talking. Shi Chuan listened to Lin Xiang's nagging and laughing, he just lowered his head and kept eating soup, humming and hahaha and not expressing his opinion...

Perhaps the so-called natural rivals are Lin Xiang and Wang. Lin Xiang and Huang’s father can say a few more words, but when they mention Wang, they are full of bitterness. I believe that he had suffered a lot of losses under Wang’s hands before.

Shi Chuan ate the supper all over, and Lin Xiang's complaints were not over yet. Shi Chuan wiggled his mouth and interrupted Lin Xiang and bowed to say goodbye: "Uncle, I'm going to leave tomorrow, I'll take a step first today."

Lin Xiang raised his hand into the air, as if he wanted to catch something: "Your aunt and others were walking halfway, but because of the turmoil in Haizhou, he returned home halfway. Well, it's been a few months anyway, no matter whether I won or not in this subject, I finally have an explanation to her..."

Lin Xiang said this: This is the fourth time he has participated in the imperial examination. According to the rules of the Song Dynasty, if he failed the imperial examination three times, he would be rewarded with a "same Jinshi" treatment. If he is a Jinshi, in modern terms, he would enjoy the treatment of a Jinshi. However, the identity of "same Jinshi" is just good, and he cannot be used as an official qualification. Perhaps he can be a small official, but don't expect the Jinshi to give him a good face in this life.

In ancient times, he was like a concubine, and his status was equivalent to "like a wife" - he could not be regarded as a wife.

These days, most "Jinshi" were first-class masters. They could only be clerks in front of genuine Jinshi to spend their lives. The Song Dynasty was a very kind era. Scholars worked hard all their lives and hoped to add an official title to their epitaphs to "glorify their ancestors". The court also liked to satisfy the wish of scholars. Scholars who have been clerks all their lives would get a practical position before retirement, which was usually a county magistrate or county magistrate. At that time, the scholars were already dizzy and had a white beard. Basically, these scholars were also tactful. After getting a actual position, they would go to work and quickly write memorials to ask for retirement - this is the unspoken rule of the officialdom.

This imperial examination is Lin Xiang's fourth time to take the scientific examination. Even if he fails to pass the examination, the examiner will always give him a gift to him for his three consecutive exams and spend his money on his fortune. However, if he passes the examination, his career will be brighter in the future. On the contrary, at least he gets his identity, and the family is not taxpayer, and he can still be a master to support his family. Although his future is not bright, it will always be prosperous compared to ordinary people.

Shi Chuan clapped his hands and went out, comforting him while walking, saying, "Don't worry, Uncle Huang's third imperial examination list is ranked second. My uncle is only in his fourth exam now, and even if he fails, he can be guaranteed to be a Jinshi. What else can he worry about?"

Lin Xiang bowed his hand and sent him to the scene: "Nephew, if you win, we won't say anything. If you don't win, I really want to take the whole family and the young to join you."

"No problem", Shi Chuan exchanged greetings all the way and left.

After passing through the noisy night market again, he returned to the rented hall. Before the lights were turned off in Huang Yu's house, he heard the movement in the yard and said without saying a word: "Brother Changqing, I just saw it. You have really cleaned the things. The house is like a big water washing. I was planning to buy a set of travel supplies so that I can enjoy the mountains and rivers in the future."

Before Shi Chuan answered, Huang Yu approached Shi Chuan and whispered: "The source of the glass goods in the hands of Grand Official Cai has been found out. In recent years, there has not been much glass input from major market departments. Instead, glass goods have been constantly emerging from Xuzhou. However, Xuzhou is the hub of the world, and merchants are in exchange for each other, like checking each other. If I spend time talking, I am even more afraid of alarming the enemy."

Shi Chuan clapped his hands: "It should be Xuzhou. Only such a thoroughfare can we not trace the details - the official Cai appeared before, right next to Xuzhou. The so-called "Large in the city is probably this."

Waiting for a while, Shi Chuan replied: "It's okay - the mountain doesn't come to us, we go to the mountain, I already have an idea, look at mine."

Huang Yu thought for a moment and replied: "It seems that I was too worried. In fact, you seem to be rampant. If you recall it carefully, you will find that you are lucky and can solve the problem straightforwardly... Since you have plans, I won't say much. For glass, you will go back to discuss with my father. I have already explained everything you should explain to my father."

Shi Chuan also bowed: "My goods will arrive in Bianliang in three or two days. The guy in charge was hired by me in Haizhou. He knew where the Huang family store was. When he arrived, he would have to trouble Brother Huang to take care of him."

"No problem, I will keep an eye on it and let those goods be put into the warehouse safely and settle it back..."

Shi Chuan interrupted Huang Yu: "This business is not a one-time deal. I plan to sell cages and travel items to the capital for a long time in the future. In the future, I will add glass and other items. It is better for us to buy a shop in the capital to specialize in this kind of business. This time, I would like to ask Brother Huang to ask the shopkeepers of the Huang family in Beijing to help me find some suitable stores. If you buy or rent, let's get the shop..."

"That's it... it's true. In the future, you have a large shipment volume. You should have a special store - what do you plan to do?"

"I don't have a suitable business candidate on hand. Even if I open a store in Beijing, I'm afraid I can't handle it. So I want to join the company with Huang. I will ship the goods. I will not interfere in the store management. As long as I can settle the payment on time. As for the store's dividends, I promise to calculate them once a year and whether to draw the dividends. I will discuss them when the time comes. How about it?"

Huang Yu, who said Shi Chuan, also agreed. In recent days, Juren from other places, who came from other places envy the travel items of Juren in Haizhou. They found out where to sell them. Seeing that this thing is selling well, Huang is a big tea merchant. He mainly operates tea in the grocery store in Beijing. If you want to sell such goods for a long time, it is better to specialize in selling next store. At least this is professional.

There are many migrant people in the capital, and cages and travel items are definitely easy to sell in the capital, especially the cages made in the capital, because the first group uses juren, and these things are invisibly labeled as identity level: if you are not a scholar, you will definitely not be able to use such elegant objects at the same level. In this way, these things are naturally labeled as luxury goods.

Since it is a luxury store for entertaining scholars, Huang's original grocery store is not enough. If you want a prosperous business, the idea of ​​wearing it is correct.

"I wonder how much Brother Shi plans to invest and how many shares?" Huang Yu asked hesitantly.

"This is not the case. It depends on how much the new store costs - I plan to occupy at least 60% of the shares."

Huang Yu thought for a while and asked, "How much more do I have to invest in my family?"

"Let's do this - let's first see how much it costs to be on duty a store, and then share the capital contribution fee. Your friend will convert 10% of the shares to invest in and contribute. How about it? At that time, I will only send the accountants to manage the accounts, and the specific operation will be entirely controlled by the servants, and the salary of those friends will be paid by the store..."

Shi Chuan slowly explained the concept of professional managers. Those business talents trained by the Huang family were taken out and they went to a store that only accounts for 40% of the shares... Huang Yu felt that he was at a loss, so he changed his mind and asked, "What if I, Huang, intending to occupy 60% of the shares, what?"

Shi Chuan shrugged: "Is your family willing to make a big fortune? I don't object to it. Anyway, I'm beyond my reach in the capital. My original intention was to put the price of goods up and participate in the pricing myself. If I can guarantee this, I'm willing to make the Huang family take the big fortune and I can just take the dividends."

"Since that's the case, let's discuss it again. I happened to be in the capital and just happened to get this done..."

After some bargaining, the two reached an agreement on the business model, capital composition and dividend plan of the new store. This store will be a store that sells fashion products. One of the shareholders is Huang Yu himself - only Huang Yu himself, not others in the Huang family. In other words, the money earned in this store in the future belongs to Huang Yu's share, which is Huang Yu's private money.

As for the other shareholder, of course, it is only Shi Chuan himself. This store was run by Huang Yu's confidant family. Because Huang Yu would be an official in the future, he would not be able to stay in Beijing forever, so this store is equivalent to completely independent operation and settlement. The accountant of the Huang family store in Beijing will be responsible for leading Shi Chuan to account every month, but will never interfere with the specific business projects.

Drawing on the concept of modern futures stock options, Huang Yu agreed to give Shi Chuan a bonus of 5% every year to reward operators. The specific reward plan was negotiated for the two of them all night. Early the next morning, Shi Chuan said goodbye to the others in a black smoke ring. Six or seven gangs had already hired were waiting by their house. The coachman of the mule and horse shop also prepared the carriage and horses. At this time, Shi Chuan had already dealt with his luggage, and only a few empty boxes were placed on the carriage. Of course, the excess gold and silver had been exchanged for tickets issued in Jieshou Lane.

Jieshou Lane in Bianliang City, Tokyo is equivalent to Wall Street in this world. Every transaction here is about one million yuan. One million yuan is the threshold for entry. Without this money, the rich people in Jieshou Lane will not clamp you with their eyes. Because the amount of transactions is huge, the merchants in Jieshou Lane have launched a kind of ticket citation. This kind of ticket citation is not waste paper like money, it is equivalent to modern bank notes. If there is real money and silver on the counter, then the official ticket citation can be issued.

The six or seven gangs led the way, and when they were in charge of tickets, they walked slowly along East Cross Street. When they passed by the well-known shop next to them, they went in to buy something. Gradually, a few empty boxes were filled, and the sky gradually approached noon, and the journey was approaching the end.

Standing at the gate of the outer city of Bianliang City, Shi Chuan took out the scattered silver from his purse and sent away the gangs. He was about to pass through the outer city gate and leave the city of Bianliang City in Tokyo. A woman's greeting came from the roadside: "Shi Dalang, do you still remember my family? I am the pursing Liu Niang who was walking with you halfway. We have been to Shuyang with you, do you still remember my family?"
