Chapter 2542 Trading Center!

Kang Ning said this without saying to the maid beside him, "Chunlai, take the second uncle to see my second sister."

Chunlai is a maid who grew up with several daughters of the Li family. Although she is called a maid, she is actually almost like a family member.

The girls in the Li family did not treat him as an ordinary servant.

After hearing Kang Ning's instructions, Chunlai hurried to Fan Lianghan and said respectfully,

"Second uncle, please come this way. Second Miss is very sad. Now that you are here, you must try to comfort her."

After hearing this, Fan Lianghan couldn't help but feel a little distressed, but at the same time he was still a little uneasy, so he couldn't help but look in the direction of the carriage, but found that the curtain was blocking his view and he couldn't see anything.

Fan Lianghan was very disappointed, but he thought of the instructions his cousin gave him when he came here. He knew that he could only have a good life in the future if he coaxed his wife well, so he quickly controlled his fear and followed Chunlai's guidance inside.

Kang Ning watched every move of Fan Lianghan, and she immediately realized that the person sitting in the carriage was probably the young master of the Chai family.

She had heard from her second sister about the life story of the young master of the Chai family, so she just watched the carriage from a distance, and waited until the carriage slowly turned around and left. Then she turned around and helped Le Shan to support Madam Li to go to the backyard.

Of course Chai An noticed Kang Ning through the gap in the curtains, and was attracted by her pretty face. He couldn't help but sigh that the girls in the Li family were more beautiful than each other.

He saw Fan Lianghan had already entered the Li family's yard, and the girl from the Li family was looking at her carriage. He didn't want to confront the Li family at this time, so he asked the coachman to drive the carriage away.

The reason why Le Shan was here at this moment was not just to see his second sister, but because he received instructions from Wang Yue to let the Li family counterattack against the Chai family.

Of course, the intensity of the counterattack depends on whether Li Fuhui and Fan Lianghan divorce or reconcile.

If it is a divorce, then of course it will be a fight to the death, and you have to defeat the other party first.

If you want to reconcile, you have to know the limits and not solve all the problems.

Now it seems that Li Fuhui is going to reconcile, so Li Leshan is eager to say to Kang Ning,

"Third sister, my master gave me a recipe that can make some elegant and classic tea snacks. We can compete directly with Fan Lou for once."

Kang Ning thought of the person in the carriage and frowned, "I'm afraid it's not easy. He was able to find the key to this matter in such a short time and turned a big conflict into a small contest. Not only did he not lose face, but he also turned hostility into friendship. He is not a simple person at all."

After hearing this, Le Shan said indifferently, "It doesn't matter whether he is a simple person or not. Anyway, my master said that he will pay for the competition this time, and he also asked his senior and junior sisters to help as military advisors, which can be regarded as a test of our strategy."

When Corning heard this, he felt it was strange. How could such a business matter be used to test strategies? It was somewhat unreliable.

But since Wang Yue had said so, Kang Ning did not refute. Instead, he frowned and said, "Leshan, but your master said he wanted to buy the house opposite Fanlou. The price of that house is probably not low."

After listening to this, Le Shan smiled calmly and said, "I heard from Senior Sister that the business opposite Fanlou cannot compete with Chai An at all, and they are preparing to sell it recently. If we want to buy it, it's just the right time, and the price is much cheaper than the market price."

After hearing this, Kang Ning nodded and said, "In that case, let's get ready."

He felt that if he bought the shop, even if he lost the fight, at least he would get a shop, which would be a profit anyway.

……

It only took a day or two to buy the shop, but decorating it according to the standards of Wang Yue's drawings was quite time-consuming.

Fortunately, money makes the world go round. Once the money is spent, the decoration process goes much faster.

It was supposed to take three to two months, but in the end it took only less than half a month to complete the renovation of the shop opposite Fanlou.

After the renovation, you can't see anything from the outside of the shop, except for the sign that looks particularly eye-catching, with four big characters written on it:
"Five Blessings!"

The first floor of the store is divided into many compartments, but there is a platform in the center, and it is impossible to tell what it is used for.

The second and third floors are all private rooms. Standing on them, you can directly overlook the center of the first floor. The view looks very good.

At this time, Wang Yue arranged for someone to deliver a huge blackboard with a total of 8 sides, which could be installed on the circle in the middle like 8 screens and could also rotate slowly.

There were white words on the blackboard, with the prices of desserts and other items written in a vigorous and powerful manner, ensuring that they could be seen at every seat.

Wang Yue’s purpose is actually very simple, which is to turn this place into a commodity trading center so that merchants from all over the country can come here to buy and sell goods.

As for why the head office is so elegant, it is because although those scholars despise business, there are definitely people in their families who are engaged in business, otherwise they would not be able to support such a large family.

Therefore, relatively elegant places not only make it easier for them to negotiate prices, but also make them feel respected.

As it belongs to Wufulinmen, this place serves as the head office of Wufulinmen and not only provides the desserts and fruits provided by the dessert shop, but also conducts large-scale wholesale business.

Because the exact transaction prices of other goods are still uncertain, only the prices of desserts are announced here now.

Those who came to discuss business would originally go to Fanlou, after all, it was the most suitable restaurant on this street.

However, Fan Lou could only let the merchants negotiate on their own and did not provide a platform to help them negotiate. So after Wu Fu Lin Men opened for business, those merchants of course wanted to know the prices of the goods, and they really took away a lot of his business.

At the beginning, it was only businessmen from other places who wanted to run a dessert business. They knew that they could make a lot of money by shipping this kind of dessert that was only sold in Beijing to other places, so they came directly to buy it.

Then some merchants from other places came. They were originally planning to buy desserts. When they learned that they could write their transaction prices and quantities on the sign in the middle of the first floor of Wufulinmen to speed up their transactions, some of them decisively came to try.

Because nowadays, many business negotiations are based on mutual testing, so if someone dares to write it directly, it proves that he has a certain degree of confidence in his price or quality, and is also anxious to make a deal. So after seeing that the price is not particularly outrageous, someone will quickly approach him. Both parties want to make a deal, so in this case, the deal is quickly reached.

For businessmen, it is a headache if they do not have fixed suppliers and supply channels. Now they can find the source of goods directly at Wufulinmen, which saves them a lot of trouble.

Therefore, merchants from the capital also like to come here to do business, which makes the number of people in Fanlou opposite less and less.

Chai An didn't react at all at the beginning, and didn't know why Wu Fu Lin Men's business was so good and it directly took away most of their business.

But when he arranged Deqing to go over and found that many merchants were enthusiastically writing their items and prices and quantities on the blackboard, he finally reacted.

It turns out that Wufulinmen not only provides a place for merchants to negotiate prices, but also provides a platform that greatly facilitates those who are in a hurry to ship goods quickly.

Deqing frowned at his son and asked uncertainly, "Sir, do you want me to send someone to mess up? If someone messes up their platform, it will be hard to operate."

Chai An had no objection to Deqing's idea. After all, in business competition, there were often no conspiracies or tricks, just these little tricks.

But thinking about the last time he tried something tricky and got caught, although Chai An was very tempted, he also knew that the trick would work quickly, but it would be easy for others to catch him.

So, he shook his head and said, "We agreed that this is a gentleman's fight. If you use despicable means, I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain."

After hearing this, Deqing did not insist any more, but he simply had no idea what to do for his son at the moment.

Chai An looked at the crowd of people on the opposite side, thought about it for a while, and felt that even if he also wanted to provide a trading platform, it would probably be a case of imitating others without success and would only add to the joke.

After all, many merchants from other places go to Wufulinmen to buy large quantities of desserts and ship them to various places. This is also the main reason why Wufulinmen gathers so many merchants.

Although their Fanlou dishes and desserts are all very good, they simply do not have the production capacity to call on merchants to come and buy them.

Therefore, Chai An knew in his heart that he had to think of other ways, otherwise, he would have already lost the game.

Sometimes being patient does not lead to peace of mind, but instead makes people angry and hurt.

See, Chai An wanted to calm things down, but someone was adding fuel to the fire.

So, Liang Junqing saw that Chai An was so embarrassed, and in order to vent his anger, he hurriedly said, "Mr. Chai, you were bullied by a woman like this, it really makes me laugh to death!"

Chai An glanced at Liang Junqing and said unhappily, "Yeah, I just suffered a little loss in business, not like someone who got beaten up directly!"

He had a basis for what he said, as the incident happened just two days ago.

That day, seeing that the business opposite was very busy, Liang Junqing took the opportunity to go and see what was going on. As a result, he saw that the third daughter of the Li family, Kang Ning, was very beautiful, so he wanted to go up and tease her. Unexpectedly, Li Leshan who suddenly appeared, beat him up and threw him out, and directly threatened that he would beat him up if he saw her again.

If that were all, then there would be nothing wrong. The problem was that Liang Junqing was so angry that he asked his servants to help hold down Le Shan.

A few years ago, he did not expect that although Le Shan was young, it was very easy for him to deal with several Liang Junqing's thugs.

If it wasn't for the purpose of avoiding killing anyone, Le Shan would have just used a wooden stick and Liang Junqing would probably have been dead!
But even so, Liang Junqing was still hit a few times by Le Shan when he threw the Liang family servants.

Others didn't know about this, but Chai An, who was looking down at the situation from a high vantage point, naturally saw it clearly.

What Chai An didn't expect was that this guy actually wanted to come over and mock him, so he started to mock him with dissatisfaction.

Liang Junqing didn't expect that Chai An actually saw him making a fool of himself, so he couldn't help but retort, "How good are you, Chai An? I can see that a local tyrant like you really can't beat the Li family? You must be reluctant to part with her because the third lady Li is pretty, but it's a pity that she may not be interested in you!"

Chai An was speechless about this dude. He really wanted to pry open Liang Junqing's forehead to see what was going on in this guy's mind.

Chai An admitted that Li Kangning was pretty, but was that the reason? He was afraid of Wang Yue's right to act first and report later!

Chai An has been investigating for some time and found out that Wang Yue is the failed Jinshi!
When facing the playboy Liang Junqing, Chai An seemed unable to explain himself, so he simply said, "A summer insect cannot talk about ice," and then turned and left.

Liang Junqing felt that Chai An had been hit on the spot. He thought that since Chai An had mocked him first, he would not be polite!

Liang Junqing thought so in his mind, and took out a portrait that he had collected for a long time and looked at it. He felt that if he couldn't get this beauty, then Chai An couldn't get her either, so he was ready to come up with a bad idea.

This scroll was apparently left behind when Madam Li went to Xiangguo Temple to worship Buddha and pray for a marriage for her daughter. Something happened at that time and she left in a hurry.

Later, Wang Yue sent the Five Rats to look for it, but they only brought back four paintings. They never found the third girl, Kang Ning. Unexpectedly, she was in the hands of this person.

Liang Junqing knew his own abilities and he certainly could not make things difficult for the Li family, so he quickly looked for Yang Xian who was worried about his marriage.

He made a bet with Yang Xian that as long as Yang Xian could find the person in the painting, he would lose a bag of pearls to Yang Xian.

Yang Xian's sister is a beauty in the palace. She is good at music and is very favored. Yang Xian is also a figure like the king's uncle.

Therefore, Yang Xian was spoiled and became a rather spoiled child. If he had not been taught a lesson from his sister from time to time, he would have probably grown up astray.

It's just that Yang Xian has been bored for a long time, and his family has been urging him to get married recently, so he thought about finding a concubine to deal with it first. But he didn't expect Liang Junqing to come up with this idea, and he took it to heart.

However, although Yang Xian was not smart, he was not a fool either. So after he got the portrait, he went to find out about Liang Junqing's recent movements.
