The farmer has a mall

Chapter 690 Franchise Store

Some people are happy and others are not.

Mrs. Xiao, the wife of the Marquis of Wuchang, came to see him off in person with big bags and small bags.

"Hey, you're leaving just after two days of comfortable life. This will make me find someone to turn to if I become addicted to poker." Xiao sighed faintly.

This breath sighed, extremely sad in my heart.

"I'm looking for those old girlfriends of yours." She never misses big or small banquets, and she has a wide range of contacts.

Gu Nanyan sat obliquely on the chair without any image, casually picking at the gift she brought.

Xiao knew that she was greedy for money, so the things she gave were not many, but they were all valuables.

Among them was a set of gold bowls and dishes inlaid with gemstones of various colors.

Gu Nanyan couldn't put it down and picked up a golden bowl to play with.

"It's no fun playing cards with them."

How could those ladies and ladies know how to play this? They all put on airs and smiled without showing their teeth. They are not suitable for playing mahjong at all.

While complaining, Xiao Shi snatched the things from her hand.

"This is not for you!"

It is well known that Gu Nanyan has great strength, Xiao Shi is really afraid that she will knead the golden bowl into golden bumps.

This is the most valuable item in her house, and it was obtained with great difficulty.

"I heard that Zhenzhen is pregnant. This set of gold utensils is exquisitely crafted and is just right for the child in her womb."

Gu Nanyan curled her lips in disdain: "Rare."

She went to pick up another bundle, and said in a teasing voice: "Zhenzhen is pregnant with twins, so you just give one?"

In the future, what should we do if there is civil strife caused by uneven distribution of spoils among children?

"This set of gold utensils comes in pairs, and two children can use them together."

Xiao took out another golden bowl and put it together, Gu Nanyan looked into the brocade box containing the gold utensils, and sure enough there were two sets of bowls and plates, chopsticks and spoons.

Gu Nanyan was used to her, and continued to look for trouble.

"I said you can't be more generous. A gift for two children is not a gift for marriage. It's a pair."

She squinted at Xiao Shi: "I've heard that Xiao Renling has hidden a lot of good things. You must be rich, why are you so stingy."

Xiao felt that she was old enough to be Gu Nanyan's grandmother, so she couldn't be as knowledgeable as a child.

Facing the other party's unreasonable provocation, she took a deep breath and said helplessly: "All the things he left were confiscated by the court, but I didn't get a penny."

She pouted her chin: "It's just this pair of colorful emeralds and gold inlaid that I secretly slipped out. I thought I'd sell it for some time to buy something for my family."

As Xiao Shi spoke, he couldn't help covering his chest in distress.

"Who knew that you were going to leave suddenly, and you left in such a hurry that I didn't have time to prepare the farewell gift, so I had to bring this thing over here."

After finishing speaking, she thumped her chest a few times: "Oh, I love you so much."

Gu Nanyan: "..."

Look at your stingy look!
And Mrs. Wuchanghou.

Is it just a set of gold utensils?

"Why don't you take it back?"

Xiao rolled her eyes: "Who is so poor? I have already brought it, so there is no reason to take it away."

Heartache is heartache, what should be given is still given, who taught this dead girl to be kind to her Lord Hou.

Gu Nanyan also rolled her eyes.

No one is so poor.

Wuchang Hou's Mansion is indeed a rare flower among the nobles.

At least she has never seen any Hou's mansion or Wang's mansion that only lived on some rent money.

"Why don't you think about starting a small business, it's better than living in such a tight situation." Gu Nanyan suggested.

Although she has never been to the Marquis of Wuchang, but according to Xiao's description, her family may not be much better than ordinary people's, and if things go on like this, she may not even be able to keep her glamorous face.

When this matter is brought up, Xiao feels worried.

"You pretend I don't want to, but neither me nor Lord Hou are good enough to do business. We bought a batch of rouge and gouache from merchants in the Western Regions a few years ago and sold them in my dowry shop. Earn some money to subsidize the family, who would have thought that it would all fall into his hands."

Mrs. Xiao glanced at Gu Nanyan quietly, and said in a tone-deaf manner: "That time I lost a lot of money, and the mansion almost even spent money for buying vegetables. Fortunately, my family was born in a farmer's family, Lord Hou, and lived in the backyard. I set aside a piece of land to grow some vegetables myself, so that I won’t even have enough to eat.”

Gu Nanyan: "..."

The Marquis of Wuchang is indeed poor, and the whole capital knows this, but it would be an exaggeration to say that they can't even afford food.

She gave Xiao Shi a sideways look, but Xiao Shi's eyes dodged.

Gu Nanyan: "...If you need my help, just tell me."

What if she couldn't see this exaggerated and contrived posture?
Xiao Shi not only didn't feel embarrassed when his little thoughts were exposed, but instead he slapped his thigh cheerfully.

"Just waiting for your words."

She turned her body sideways and approached Gu Nanyan, and said flatteringly, "You are smart, help me think of a way to make a living without losing money."

Gu Nanyan was speechless: "There is no business in the world that does not lose money. Benefits come with risks. Please introduce such a good thing to me."

Why didn't she realize that this woman is so "innocent".

What a good thing to think about!

Xiao Shi didn't care about being ridiculed by her, he gave her an angry look and said: "Of course I know, but I want to ask for a less risky deal."

She pushed Gu Nanyan.

"Just help me think about it, I don't ask for more, just earn three to five hundred taels a month."

Gu Nanyan: "..."

Three 500 taels is really not much.

"You're not greedy." Gu Nanyan snorted, sat a little further away from her, picked up the tea cup and took two sips slowly.

Xiao Shi was not in a hurry, and quickly refilled her cup of tea after she finished drinking it.

"Well, do you have an idea?"

"There is a way." Gu Nanyan unceremoniously drank it down again, put down the teacup and raised her eyebrows to signal her to refill.

Mrs. Xiao was overjoyed when she heard the words, and hurriedly continued for her.

Only then was Gu Nanyan satisfied: "Since you don't know how to do business yourself, you might as well be a franchise store."

"Franchise stores do not need experience in opening a store. The head office will send people to train employees for you, and will also formulate a suitable promotion plan according to the local consumption situation. You just need to copy it step by step."

"Furthermore, the franchise store itself has a certain reputation, which has an additional brand effect than ordinary stores. As long as the location is well chosen, it will generally not be compensated if you don't die."

She explained in detail the advantages and disadvantages of franchising stores, but Xiao Shi didn't understand much.

"Is there such a good thing?" Xiao was surprised, "Why haven't I heard of it before?"

Gu Nanyan: "Because my store hasn't opened here yet."

Last year, her business got better and better, and it involved many industries. In the second half of the year, she began to ask Cui Yao to recruit franchisees.

So far, she only has her franchise stores in Jianan, and there are also Anyang countries, but not as many as Jianan.

So far in this world, only her here has joined the talk, Xiao Shi naturally has never heard of it.

"Then... how much money does it cost to open a franchise store like this?"

"Can I give you a commission?" Xiao asked one after another.

Upon hearing that it was Gu Nanyan's business, Xiao Shi was both happy and worried.

The joy is that Gu Nanyan is a good hand in business, and she can't go wrong following her.

What's worrying is that this girl is doing big business, and she doesn't know if she can spend so much money.

"There's no need to give me a commission." Gu Nanyan slowly shook her head.

"Just prepare a store in a good location, rent or sell it as you like, and prepare the money for the purchase."

"But there is one thing I have to tell you in advance." She put down the teacup in her hand, and her expression became serious.

"Since it's my business to join, after the store opens, you can only get goods from me, otherwise you will not only be cancelled, but if you buy goods from other places for cheap, it will cause bad luck to my brand. Because of the influence, I want to claim a large sum of money from you."
