Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 115 Prospect of Wangji Department Store

Wang Xiu was no longer in the mood to take a walk, but walked south from the intersection to the prison of the Imperial College, but he did not notice that a simple and unpretentious carriage followed him quietly until he entered the prison .

Although he had a large amount of white sugar, he didn't have much money on him. At noon, Shen Mo, who was dressed in plain clothes, was accompanied by a shopkeeper and Lu Yao, and invited him to the Jinli Restaurant, a restaurant opposite the Imperial College.

The koi symbolizes that the carp leaps through the dragon gate, leaps through the sky, burns its tail, has short horns on its head, and turns into a dragon. After drinking a glass of koi dragon flying wine, it will transform into a dragon as soon as possible and become a disciple of the emperor. Scholars psychology.

As Gong Ju is approaching, scholars from all over the country are studying hard, and they even eat in the dormitory. Few people come out to drink, and there are many customers in the restaurant, but not as many as a few days ago, and it is not as full as after the Gong Ju. .

Shen Mo asked Wang Xiu to go upstairs, asked for a private room facing the street, and greeted the shopkeeper and Lu Yao.

As a subordinate, being able to eat wine with the proprietor, the shopkeeper and Lu Yao were flattered. This is not an ordinary trust. Although the world is open and the hierarchy among businessmen is not so strict, there are still some invisible rules that must be followed. Otherwise, you won't be able to mix in the industry.

Shen Mo ordered six cool and six hot dishes, which represent the six-six Dashun. Among them, the three fish dishes include sweet and sour carp, steamed fish, and scallion-splashed fish, which represent fish every year and auspicious painting.

After drinking for three rounds, Lu Yao became a servant serving wine, he was very busy, he only had one wish, to finish this business quickly, and he went back to enjoy the blessing.

In Wang Xiu's eyes, this shopkeeper Shen is a distant relative of the Shen family. He is the shopkeeper of Duzhi in Wanshixing.

"I made an explanation today, a total of 570 guan, which is considered to be deposited in the Wanshi Xingzhi Treasury, with an annual interest of [-]%." Mo Mo drank a glass of koi dragon flying wine, his face flushed.

Wang Xiu curled her lips and said, "It's really a crime to save money."

Shopkeeper Shen frowned, didn't speak, but chuckled in silence, and said, "What do you say, are you afraid that I will take over your property?"

Wang Xiu spat, raised her brows and said with a smile: "Okay Shen Shizhi, I kindly help you, but you bite Lu Dongbin like a dog, you don't know how to be kind."

Shopkeeper Shen was startled, and cast a sneaky glance at Wang Xiu. Although his nephew, Young Proprietor, is gentle and elegant, but when he gets angry, it makes people frightened. Wang Xiu dared to make fun of him back then. I don't know what to do.However, what made him lose his glasses was that Shen Mo actually laughed out loud and said, "Why don't I know how to be kind?"

Wang Xiu rolled her eyes and remained silent, "Can money make money?"

"It goes round and round, of course."

"I put the money with you, and you are the only one who uses it to make money. You take up most of it, and I can only drink some soup. Can you let it go?"

"This." Shen Mo laughed, playing with the wine glass, he knew that Wang Xiu had a good way of making money, so he stopped talking.

"Okay, I'm not joking with you anymore." Wang Xiu saw the silent expression on his playful face. He obviously guessed what he was going to do, and he didn't play sloppy. Not much to say. The elder sister wants to open five branches in Kaifeng, she wants to cooperate with Wanshixing, Wangji occupies the sixth floor, and Wanshixing has the fourth floor, what do you think?"

Shopkeeper Shen took a breath, it was the first time he saw someone talking carelessly to Shen Mo, who is Shen Mo?The legal heirs of Wan Shi Xing Nuo's family business, even those princes and nobles, can be flattered by Mo Mo in terms of power, but Mo Mo can't control Mo Mo in terms of momentum.

As the saying goes, food is the first thing for the people. No matter how the dynasty changes, merchants will exist forever, but the dignitaries of the dynasty cannot be safely inherited. The status of the Shen family is not high. As long as the business is done properly, it will have a long history. Straight into the frame, he couldn't believe it.

Shen Mo fell into deep thought, poured a glass of wine for Wang Xiu himself, and said, "Bingtang? Okay, what about after Bingtang?"

"What do you think, Zhizhi?" Wang Xiu picked up the cup and smiled playfully.

Shopkeeper Shen swallowed his saliva, he no longer expected silence to give him hints, and turned his eyes to Lu Yao, but Lu Yao ignored him and kept fighting with the koi dragon flying wine.

Mo Mo smiled, picked up the wine glass, and said: "Use rock sugar to enter the fourth floor, and we brothers will make plans later and have a drink."

Wang Xiu had a smile on his face, but he was filled with contempt in his heart. This guy is really cunning in doing business, and he will not let him go without seeing the benefits.However, people who insist on the bottom line are often more credible than those who have no bottom line. He believes that silence is the pursuit of maximizing benefits, but this person will never betray his friends for immediate benefits.

Three more cups, and talked about some details of the business, shopkeeper Shen is more winking, understands that the young proprietor and Wang Xiu must have something to say when they have a drink, pull Lu Yao to plead that he is full of wine and food, go downstairs and wait first .

There were only two people left in the room, and they said in silence, "What do you mean, brother, that you want to march into Kaifeng?"

Wang Xiu gritted her teeth and said, "It's not me, it's the elder sister. If you have the heart, you can take care of one or two. If you have money, everyone earns it is the right thing."

If the discussion between Wang Xiu and Wang Qingzhu was only at the theoretical level, then the dialogue between him and Shen Mo today will determine the development of Wangji Department Store.In Kaifeng, with the support of the Shen family, most of the restrictions can be reduced. Department stores cover a wide range, but they are an upgraded version of groceries. It is inevitable to compete with many merchants for profits. Without strong Austrian support, it is absolutely impossible to move forward.

Those ghosts and monsters are difficult to deal with.

The wise man didn't need to say much, he just finished his point, silently pondered for a while before nodding his head in agreement. Risks and benefits come together, and he can afford to gamble.

Seeing silence, Wang Xiu agreed, and said with a smile, "If I don't get a Jinshi, I'll be a rich man and mess around with the young master."

"Don't talk about it, if you don't win the Jinshi or enter the Longfei list, I don't think there are many scholars in the world who can stand out." Shen Mo laughed and raised his wine glass.

Wang Xiu suddenly held down the wine glass, and said seriously: "Once Wang Ji Department Store comes in, it will have a certain impact on Wanshixing. Brother Zhi can bear it?"

Silently startled, Wanshixing is not alone. Not to mention the ancestors and patriarchs, even his peers have competitors. Once he supports the Wang Family Department Store, of course he will have a business conflict with Wanshixing's grocery business. Since there is a conflict of interest, there will be a backlash. Sometimes he must be attacked by some people in the family.

Suddenly, he understood that Wang Xiu was thinking about him, he couldn't help but glanced gratefully, and said solemnly: "Don't worry, everyone earns money, I believe the ancestor and the Patriarch will understand."

Since there are common interests, which are greater than the benefits brought by independent management, everything can be easily solved. Wang Xiu chuckled and raised his glass: "Drink this glass of wine to celebrate our Jinming Lake reunion."

Silently laughed heartily, and said: "Jin Mingchi, brother, do you know that you will be famous in Tokyo in a short time after a meeting in Baifanlou last night."

Wang Xiu gulped it down, but Zhou Bangyan, Ye Mengde, Cai Yi and others flashed in his mind. These three represented different classes of scholar-bureaucrats in the Song Dynasty. Although his silent words were radical, they were full of truth. Confidence, it's not yet time to ferment, and I can soar into the sky, and the time to become wings is to learn righteousness from the heart.

"By the way, Cai Yi sent someone to inform me in the morning, and I will treat you to a good drink after the ceremony." Shen Mo said playfully.

"Gongju?" Wang Xiu smiled coldly, took a bite of the dish and said, "It seems a little too late?"

"The Cai family has always been like this. Cai Er is still an outstanding one among Cai Xianggong's grandchildren. Among the second generation of the Cai family, his fifth uncle is regarded as a gentleman." Mo Mo said, the irony in the words was obvious. expose.

"Since the appointment is sincere, if I make it right, I will be inferior." Wang Xiu smiled knowingly.

"Cai Xianggong is falling everywhere, and the Cai family has two families. If the younger brother can seize the opportunity, he will rise to the top, and it will be just around the corner."

Wang Xiu rolled his eyes and remained silent, and said with a smile: "Brother Zhi is right, you should seize the opportunity."

Old Mo Mo blushed, and said: "Mr. Zhongli also attached himself to Mr. Cai. People are people, and things are things. If my brother can get to know Cai Er, once he has the opportunity, he will rise to the top and save ten years of struggle."

"Mr. Zhongli?" Wang Xiu heard the news of Zhongliqiu, put the Cai family behind her, her eyes flickered.

Shen Mo shook his head and said: "A few months ago, Mr. Zhongli passed by in the capital, and no one knew whether he was still there."

"It's a pity!" Wang Xiu was a little disappointed. Zhong Liqiu left Shangshui, and thought he would see him when he came to Kaifeng, but he couldn't see the end, which was frustrating.

"Brother, do you know where Pan Louli is going?" Shen Mo put down his glass and changed the subject.

Wang Xiu's hands shaking the pot to pour wine, almost spilled the wine on the table.Li Shishi is famous through the ages, how could he not know, but he pretended to be calm, and said indifferently: "I've heard of it."

Silence smacked his lips, and said with a smile: "These days, I have settled down to study. After the tribute academy is promoted, I invite you to Panlou. Maybe you will see Li Xingshou."

Wang Xiu was originally full of curiosity, but after being told by Shen Mo, she immediately lost interest. The real thing is what catches the eye, and it may not be possible to see it, it's too boring.

Seeing Wang Xiu's lack of interest, Mo Mo rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "By the way, how about Miss Youqin?"

Wang Xiu raised his head and looked at Shen Mo in surprise, and there was a little turmoil in his heart. Looking back at that moment, and that flashing beauty, he, who has been a human being for two lives, can't forget it!
Youqin Moyan, a kind woman who loves boundlessly and is playful and pleasant, is the woman he has identified in this life, but looking back at that moment, he feels confused for a while.If she had come and stood in front of him beautifully, would he still face life calmly?

Maybe it's something I thought, but I misunderstood it!There was a voice of reluctance in his heart, which made him very hesitant, and he said bluntly: "Very well, she and I are engaged, and we will get married when we go back."

Silence flashed in the corner of Shen Mo's eyes, and he seemed to be very happy. He smiled and said: "Lovers will eventually get married, and Miss Youqin is a rare sweetheart. My brother should cherish it. Otherwise, I will definitely not forgive you."

Wang Xiu's mind was shaking, she didn't listen to what Mo Mo said, she just nodded and said absent-mindedly: "Brother Zhi, don't worry."
