The Sorrows are everywhere

The Sorrows are everywhere

"You don't understand," Shi Chuan reached out and rubbed Huang E's forehead: "As a girl, you can get in touch with her peers more and understand her peers' mentality to integrate into this era. Besides, we have more than 20 gardens in our family, and it is natural to take out one or two gardens as your entertainment venues, so that you can have the opportunity to make more sisters and friends...

Besides, this winter, the sisters living in the other courtyard are complaining about the cold weather. When we gradually get married this year, many people will make excuses to move to the Rose Fortress Main Fort. At that time, the other courtyards will be empty. At that time, we will always have to find people to maintain them. It is better to use the people who visit the garden to let them work... Don't worry, as long as I am stern at that time, I will not receive unfamiliar people. Who dares to force me in Haizhou City?"

Huang E laughed at the end of her teasing voice when she was dressed in Shiteng. It is true that most men and women are married in this era. Most of the expectant mother-in-law check the character of the girl at the party. The man peeked at the appearance of the girl at such a party. After the party, he communicated privately, and the marriage was determined like this.

Now Shi’s family has territory and financial resources. It is really convenient to use the Rose Castle to hold a gathering of men and women and take the opportunity to promote their daughter.

"Okay, from now on, we will go to Rose Castle to play during holidays, and find some sisters and children of gentry families, which is also a joy." Huang E lowered her head, which was in line with her idea of ​​wearing it at the same time.

After a little recession, the butler Mu Shun came over to report that the carriage was ready... Well, Shi Chuan is now a completely Haizhou native. He is now like a genuine gift for people, welcoming guests and visiting guests, and having constant contact with people.

After five or six days of busy visits, the yamen officially opened seals and local officials began to work normally. On the 20th day of the first lunar month, Tong Guan returned from Liao and brought back the Liao people Ma Zhi along the way. Ma Zhi, who had been renamed Li Liangsi, was recommended to Song Huizong. After Li Liangsi and Emperor Daojun spies, he told the Liao Kingdom that the defeat was defeated by the Jin people and suggested that the Song Kingdom join forces with Jin to destroy Liao. Emperor Daojun consulted the ministers afterwards, and finally felt that it was a bit unreliable to join forces with the Jin Kingdom to attack Liao Kingdom together, but the idea provided by Li Liangsi was deeply buried in the heart of Song Huizong. Therefore, Emperor Daojun gave Li Liangsi the surname Zhao and gave Zhao Liangsi the official residence.

Later, Zhao Liangsi stayed in Bianliang City, Tokyo, and experienced the prosperity of the world's number one city, Zhao Liangsi's desire to climb up became even more eager...

On the same day, Shi Yanei, who returned to Tongzhou to worship his ancestors, returned with his brother Shi Kui, and brought Dong Xuan, who was traveling with him. He set off from Sichuan in autumn, brought four ships of Shu brocade, and some tea leaves. He set off from Shu and sold them while walking, and finally arrived in Haizhou.

For an ancient businessman, it was just a common thing to go out when doing business and stay outside for three or five years at a time. Dong Xuanguang had been walking on the road for half a year. Seeing Shi Chuan again made him excited. He couldn't help but come to the Shi brothers and greet Shi Chuan, saying, "Uncle, my nephew finally sees you."

Shi Chuan accepted the other party's etiquette calmly and greeted, "How is Su Xin?"

Dong Xuan replied respectfully: "Thank you for your uncle's blessing, Su Xin's cousin married very well. Her husband's family has recently moved to Xiangyang, and her husband has been transferred to Xiangyang County Magistrate."

After a while, Dong Xuan added again: "Suxin's cousin is very popular with her husband's family. Now her cousin has bought several shops in Xiangyang, recruited some wives, opened fragrant pan and balm shops in Xiangyang, and also opened coal cake shops throughout the city. The business has become prosperous, and it is a matter of words in her husband's family. Her parents-in-law loves it very much. This time, my nephew passed by Xiangyang and heard that her cousin was four months pregnant. When she returned, she might have a baby."

Shi Chuan waved to E's wife and introduced to Dong Xuan: "This is your aunt..."

Dong Xuan immediately responded: "Su Xin's cousin said that if you want to marry, it must be Aunt Huang's family. Congratulations to aunt..."

Huang E twisted her body shyly, and she wanted to say--the ceremony had not been held yet. But she couldn't say this.

Shi Chuan continued, "Your aunt will count the accounts of the shop for you. This time you go back and bring Suxin's dividend back. After you have left for the past few years, I have launched some new varieties, otherwise, you can bring some goods back, it's better. E Niang, Suxin is about to give birth, so prepare a gift for his children..."

Dong Xuan gave a few words, and then talked to Shi Chuan for a few words, and introduced Su Xin's Xiangyang officials whom Su Xin married... During the introduction, Shi Chuan had already understood that Su Xin's family's relocation was probably dragged down by Su Xin. Her husband's family cherished Su Xin very much, worried that Su Xin's abducted incident could not be concealed in her hometown, so her family simply moved to Xiangyang and started a new life again. Of course, Su Xin's performance was worthy of her husband's love, so she worked hard to make money in Xiangyang...

After the greetings, Huang E led Dong Xuan down to explain the accounts. Shi Chuan turned to Shi Yanei, who was able to marry his brother Shi Kui, and his relationship with his father was restored. This year, he was qualified to return to his hometown to worship his ancestors, and he seemed a little satisfied. When he saw Shi Chuan's inquiring eyes, he immediately replied: "I am shopping in Suzhou, Hangzhou, and the local Shu brocade is basically in my pocket."

Shi Kui added in agreement: "My father heard about Brother Shi's plan and sponsored his younger brother 300,000 yuan, and I also took out 500,000 yuan... Brother Shi, this is a big business, are you... confident?"

Shi Chuan smiled steadily: "Just using financial leverage alone, I'm afraid you and I don't have enough financial resources, but we still have the Jinxiu Street Trading Hall... Don't worry, we will go to the exchange tomorrow to fight a financial war. By the time this war is over, I believe everyone will not be short of money?"

Shi Kui was nervous and asked carefully: "Dalang, can you understand the details in advance? How can we start?"

"You'll see it right away"

Since Shi Chuan didn't want to explain clearly, the Shi brothers could not continue to ask. The eldest brother Shi Kui repeatedly winked at his younger brother. Shi Yanei was forced to ask, "Okay, okay... Dalang, when will your two families marry their sister? This time I go home, my father means: It's better for the eldest brother to continue his career. Now that the marriage has been decided, let the eldest brother get married quickly. After marrying his wife, the eldest brother will go to his father's side, sister-in-law, or stay in Haizhou to help manage the Shi family's property, or simply entrust the Shi family's property to Dalang to take care of.

Our two families are in-laws, and taking care of Shi's property is also helping your sister take care of their property. My Shi's family will send someone to learn economics, but we still have to listen to Dalang's specific affairs... Cough cough, Dalang, what do you say?"

This means: the original meaning of the Shi family is to marry a wife like hiring an executive. This wife may not be able to enjoy the normal life of a husband and wife, but she can enjoy the status of a wife in Shi family. The actual role it plays is equivalent to a replacement for Mr. Hai, who specializes in managing the business for the Shi family and earns money for them to enjoy. For the Shi family, Shi Kui already has a legitimate son, so the role that can be played by the successor, and it is best to play it in managing the family business.

However, perhaps because of Shi Chuan's strength, the Shi family dare not be too much. Now, whether he is willing to keep that sister by his side to help Shi Chuan take care of Haizhou's industries, he only sees Shi Chuan's meaning. As long as Shi Chuan is willing to take over, the management rights of Shi Chuan's industry will be handed over to Shi Chuan. At the same time, the Shi family will also send a person to participate, but this person will not participate in the specific operation. Its existence only indicates the existence of the Shi family. Shi Yanei, who has already separated, will also play a certain supervisory role next to Shi Kui. As for Shi Kui, he can bring his new wife back to Shi Junjian and then make progress in his official career.

Shi Chuan thought about it and replied: "Who will take over the industry in the Shi family?"

This question not only shows Shi Chuan's attitude, but also supports Shi Yanei: There is a person in your Shi family in front of you, so why don't you hand over the industry to him and have to change your hands - are you marrying a wife or hiring an executive?

Shi Yanei lowered his head and said nothing. Shi Kui smiled awkwardly and replied: "It's the concubine's brother Shi Yu."

In Shi Kui's opinion, he did not oppose Shi's father's plan - the ancients were quite convinced of the "monarch, minister, father, son and son". Shi Kui sincerely believed that his father was for his own good and for the family. And his wife made some contributions and sacrifices to the family, which was natural for him. As for him... Anyway, there were many concubines around him, and he never had to worry about women.

The only regret is that the girl from the Shi family is really good and has received better education than most concubines. Since the girl from Cuizhuang also teaches makeup and female charm courses, the girls who came out of the Shi family are better than the girl from the Shi family that Shi Kui can touch when she stands on tiptoe - in all aspects. So Shi Kui is a little reluctant to leave.

Shi Chuan now shows that he is willing to manage Shi's family industry. Compared with Shi Yanei and his brother Shi Yu, who have increased their power, Shi Kui thinks that this is better.

Shi Kui was already clearly aware of Shi Dalang's fame during his time in Haizhou. Not to mention Shi Dalang's famous Lu Zhi and Rampage, just after the Peach Blossom View incident, Shi Chuan was willing to take care of those girls who were killed at the same time, so he gained a reputation of "benevolence" and "trust". As a Chinese, he sincerely believes that a person's morality is closely related to character. Shi Chuan's morality is good, so he will definitely not be greedy for his family's money, so he will leave his own property to him, so he will rest assured.

"Then, let's do our business on March 3rd - on March 3rd, my eldest son married his daughter, and the Shi family came to marry him."

Shi Yanei was very satisfied with the result and quickly stated: "I vacate the house on the Donghai Island to make a new house. After the eldest brother gets married, he can live on the island with his sister-in-law for a few days, and hand over the industry with Shi Dalang..."

"I invite Wang Yanzhang and Wang Gong to be a guest," Shi Chuan said readily: "My family in-law Zhao Shixia will serve as my family's bride sender and send Shiqi Niang to Tongzhou."

"I'll invite Yibin..." Shi Kui responded immediately.

In the evening, the Shi brothers continued to discuss the content of the wedding with Shi Chuan. When Huang E and Dong Xuan returned from the account, they immediately took out twenty-four Shu brocades as gifts. Huang E said happily: "It's a happy event. My family has a lot of happy events today. Please sit down and I want to notify the sisters who are about to marry. Oh, and there are also various preparations for marriage...."

This is not surprising. The girls from Taohuaguan are about the same age. Marrying alone means that most people have entered the age of marriage.

Huang E stood up happily and walked towards the backyard... The fewer girls left by her side, the more she felt that life was so beautiful.

After she left, Dong Xuan looked at the Shi brothers and asked curiously: "Shi Yanei, you have been talking about... 'pricing rights' on the way, have you agreed on it?"

When he was reminded, Shi Chuan hurriedly asked, "Brother Dong - I call your cousin Su Xin 's 'sister'. You don't need to call me 'uncle', but you should call me 'uncle'. How many Shu brocades do you bring?"

Dong Xuan immediately stood up and bowed: "Since uncle... my brother told me that I dare not obey orders. I set off from Shu and brought 600 Shu brocades, of which about half of the goods I bought from my own capital, and the rest were all goods on credit. When I passed by Xiangyang, my cousin Suxin bought me five hundred pieces. I had just handed over to E Niang and the goods had already been put into the warehouse."

"Shu Jin..." Shi Chuan pondered and said: "It is a luxury product. It can't be used much for ordinary people in a year or even in their lifetime. Now the Yanei has swept all the goods south of the Yangtze River, and I have swept the goods north of the Yangtze River, except the capital. It can be said that fifty percent of the goods are in our hands now.

We have an exchange on hand. Now the road is not stable and the news spreads fast. It will take about a month to spread the price fluctuations in Haizhou when it reaches the capital and then sends it back. In other words, even if the price of Shujin in Haizhou is very different from that in Beijing, it will take at least one month for the Beijing merchants to sell goods when they hear the news. We can use this time difference to fight a price war and compete for pricing power.

You may lose money at the beginning and be prepared to lose millions of yuan, but once we seize the pricing power...Du Wang Xian, you can do the Shujin business for your whole life in the future, because the pricing power is with me. You receive the goods in the book and I sell them in Haizhou. We have the final say on how much it costs and will never lose money."

"Millions of coins?" Dong Xuan smacked her tongue: "Is there a loss of so much?"

"It may not necessarily lose a million yuan," Shi Chuan comforted him, "This thing is a luxury item. People don't use it very often, so the store will not have too many goods. Even if someone hears the news to buy goods, the quantity of goods in his hands is not as good as ours. Even if he rushed to Shuzhong to receive goods, he would go back and forth, and wait for him to come to Haizhou to sell, eight or nine months have passed, and we have obtained the pricing right."

A little remarkable, Shi Chuan added: "It seems that it is a lot to lose millions, but as long as we get the pricing power, the news that Jinxiu Street Exchange has pricing power will spread. In the future, if merchants want to sell goods, the first thing they think of is to come to the trading club to set a price - then we just charge the handling fee, just have fun."

Shi Kui gritted his teeth: "If this is the case, you have to do even if you lose a million yuan."

Shi Chuan smiled like a cat who had stolen fishy fish: "Hehe, if you really want to fluctuate the price, you may lose money or not?"

Dong Xuan interrupted softly: "Brother Xian, what you said is so lively, can you bring me with you tomorrow?"

When Dong Xuan spoke, Shi Yanei also asked softly: "Dalang, where is Miss Suzhen..."

"Du——" Shi Kui scolded his brother: "Can you ask about the situation in the girl's family like this? You are not afraid of ruining the girl's reputation. Brother and sister-in-law are about to give birth to you, so you should calm down and manage your family business well."

"Miss Suzhen is very good," Shi Chuan replied: "She is now in the Rose Garden, organizing books with Zhao Shixia. Miss Suzhen plans to take advantage of the rest of the industry in the future, leaving only the Canglang Pavilion Printing Bookstore. Well, if you care about her, just find a shop for her to build a bookstore, or search for some precious books, and she will be happy... As for Brother Dong, let's go to Jinxiu Street together tomorrow."

In the past two years, Jinxiu Street has gradually turned to the service industry. Fewer foreign investors come, and officials from the Maritime Bureau are also very lonely. Along the streets, most warehouses that were originally prepared for foreign investors are now rented for shops. Most merchants rent shops here because they wear to clean Jinxiu Street, which is clean and hygienic. In addition, there are more patrols, and the public security situation is better than other streets - at least fewer people steal bags and fewer people extort.

Recently, it has been rumored that sea boats from the West are about to enter the port. Jinxiu Street and the Binhai Avenue connected to Jinxiu Street have gradually recovered. Someone rented the idle warehouse, and the silk shop that was once closed has reopened. The goods everywhere have begun to surge here. Inns on the roadside are also full of merchants who come to see the wind...

Early that morning, Shi Chuan led the Shi brothers, Dong Xuan, and shopkeeper Huang to the third floor of Jinxiu Club. He looked down at the trading seats on the first floor from the corridor and looked at the hanging trading signs. There were all kinds of goods here, but unfortunately there were many people watching, and few people would buy them. After all, this was the first month, and the first month after the Chinese New Year has always been the long black moon in China's retail industry.

Dong Xuan beside Shi Chuan whispered to summon a trader. The trader came over with a water sign and wrote on the water sign as Dong Xuan ordered: Five hundred dans of tea in Shuzhong, bargaining.

At this time, Shi Yanei was pointing at a scholar on the seat on the second floor and giving a low guidance to his brother Shi Kui: "That's Luo Jinshi. Look, he is dressed very generously and has brocade. It seems that he has a lot of money."

Luo Wangjing felt the gaze upstairs and looked up. First, he saw Shi Yanei's hatred gaze, then, the smile Shi Chuan was attracted. The latter smiled and nodded at Luo Wangjing, but Luo Wang suddenly felt that he seemed to be targeted by a wolf, and he was chilling all over. He stood up in panic, talked to the guests casually, quickly ended the negotiation, got up, and left in a hurry.

If Lo Wangjing came out a few minutes late, he would see Shi Chuan smiled and hung a water sign with a smile on it, which read: Shu Jin, for sale at a certain price, unlimited quantity.

The price immediately caused a burst of exclamation, and many people covered their hearts and felt in pain.

A series of whispers immediately sounded from the seats on each building. Shi Chuan whispered to talk to Dong Xuan in a low voice, and whispered reminder: "Did you remember what you should say and what expressions you should use? Then let's start?"

At this time, a trader came to report: "Dong Keguan, are your goods sold for stock? Someone wants to sell them for two hundred dans."

Dong Xuan’s interest is not here now, so he hurriedly responded: “If you don’t break up the parts, you will be sold in the whole order.”

At this time, Shi Tong walked up to the merchants on various buildings and bowed to the merchants on the floor, and said with a humble smile: "Everyone, I believe everyone has received news that a merchant ship from the West is about to enter Guangzhou, so everyone is preparing stocks, and the prices of some goods are rising sharply. But you also know that my family has north and south clutches, and the north clutches, and they will ship directly to the capital; the south clutches are recently communicating the route between Guangzhou and Liuzhou.

Now the southern trade wind season has passed, and in a while the northern trade wind is about to blow. At that time, cargo ships going to the South China Ocean must sail with the help of the trade wind, otherwise they will miss this year. But according to the news from my Clippers, Guangzhou Port still has no ships returning from the West to enter the port. I think if that fleet exists, we will not be able to catch up with going to sea this year - do you understand in your heart?

Suddenly, a sigh sounded in the room, and many people beat their chests and stamped their feet, shouting:

"Oh my God, I bought a lot of Shujin at a high price and bought a sea boat. Now I'm going to lose everything..."

"Oh my God, I've put all my money on it and borrowed a loan. Who was the news of that immorality?"

After a quarrel, among the merchants, some smart people were calm and anxious to see Shi Chuan, and suddenly woke up: "Shu Jin... I heard that Shi Dalang also bought Shu Jin before. If there were no Western ships coming, wouldn't Shi Dalang lose the most?

"That's right. Shi Dalang's head has renovated Jinxiu Street and spent all his money. Now that Shu Jin's goods are thrown into his hands, what should he do?"

Shaoqing, a businessman asked tentatively: "Dalang, what are you going to do?"

Shi Chuan nodded gently and replied with annoyance: "That's right, everyone knows that I have spent all the money on hand, and Shi Yanei's money. In the future, I will count on Jinxiu Street and Zuoxiu Street to make some money for me. But now I have thousands of people waiting to pay my salary. I don't have a deep foundation like you. So, I intend to throw out a batch of Shujin in my hand, and the price is better. Are you willing to help me?"

There are sorrows everywhere.

A businessman groaned directly: "No, Dalang, if Shu Jin falls again, there is a reserve price. You can't be lower than the floor price."

Shi Chuan sighed softly: "The workers of Qianba are waiting for dinner, I have no choice but to sell them at one-third of the price."

Dong Xuan hurried forward and pretended to persuade him in a low voice: "Uncle, I'm not in a hurry to pay the goods. If it is inconvenient for the time being, I will owe my payment to the goods first, and then return it slowly..."

"Who is this boy?" A businessman asked loudly, "Renyi Dalang, just listen to him."

"I don't know," the businessman at the same table replied: "Just this guy listed 500 dan of Shuzhong tea."

"Tea, very good. Nowadays, many tea trees are frozen to death. This kid can get tea... Trader, I want to discuss it with him."

At this time, Shi Chuan shook his head upstairs and firmly rejected Dong Xuan's suggestion: "That's not possible. You have come to Haizhou to buy goods thousands of miles away. I can't let you stay in Haizhou and see the scenery. Wait for when I have money... Besides, the goods are mine, and how to deal with them still depends on me. How can I pass on my own crisis to you?"

Dong Xuan hesitated for a moment and mustered up the courage to say, "Uncle, you have a lot of kindness to Suxin, we haven't had time to repay the goods... There are other merchants' goods from the three ships, and I am not convenient to make decisions on the other people, but I am my own goods - please allow me to redeem them as the original price."

"It's useless to redeem it," a businessman replied in a crying voice: "In order to hoard Shu brocade, we even collected Shu brocades from Tokyo Bianliang City. If the sea ships didn't arrive, even a year later... Ah, this is three million yuan of goods."
Chapter completed!
