Confucius businesswoman: proud of the world

Chapter 146
By the time she returned at the end of the night, Kong Linglong had already held three contracts, worth 600 taels in total.

Following the order of the three companies, Kong Linglong received 100 taels from the first one, 200 taels from the second one, and 300 taels from the third one.None of them felt heartbroken, and this contract was a timely rain for them.

When Dr. Xu asked about it, Yu'er said with a smile: "Our lady earns 600 taels, 600 taels a month."

Dr. Xu and Xiu Niang almost couldn't hold it back, they didn't look happy, but pale from being overly frightened.

Dr. Xu has opened Baishanzhuang for more than ten years, and the 600 taels is his revenue for several years.

"You are the master!" Dr. Xu trembling in his own words, saw Kong Linglong handing over the medicine box in his hand to Yu'er, and went into the house.

Xiu Niang held Dr. Xu's hand tightly, her expression was already completely dignified.

Dr. Xu endured it, looked at the door, and walked in. Seeing the girl sitting at the table, he couldn't help but ask, "Master, can I show the contract?"

Kong Linglong looked at Dr. Xu, pondered for a while, and took out the contract she had just signed with Santiaojie from her body.

Dr. Xu immediately picked it up and carefully read every word from the beginning to the end. When he saw the inscription at the bottom, as expected, there was no blood at all.

"Young master, this...how can this be done?" Dr. Xu didn't know how to speak.

Kong Linglong looked at him. Originally, she could hand over the contract to the real shopkeeper of Baishanzhuang, Dr. Xu, when she came back.But just as she thought, not everyone could accept these three contracts. The first resistance came from Baishanzhuang itself.

Kong Linglong looked at Dr. Xu's expression, and said quietly: "Why not?"

Dr. Xu's words stuck in his throat, especially when he saw the young master's extremely calm expression, he felt as if his heart was being suppressed by something.He felt more and more bitter: "Young Master, Mr. Xu doesn't have any business talent, nor is he able to bring real results to Baishanzhuang. In the final analysis, I am incompetent. Shao Master can remove me as the shopkeeper because of this, and I No complaints."

This is euphemistic enough, but it also expresses its meaning firmly.Kong Linglong wants to cooperate with places like brothels to make a profit, so it's better to kick him out as the shopkeeper.

After Kong Linglong was silent for a moment, the corners of her mouth slightly curled up: "Shopkeeper Xu, are you blaming me?"

Dr. Xu smiled wryly again: "I don't dare to be a little one. The young master is the god of the Kong family. I want to do everything possible to make a profit for the Kong family. I understand it very well. However, the so-called business, if it loses morality, it is profitable." No matter how much, it will not last long."

Kong Linglong looked at him. This was the first time she was taught the way of doing business by an outsider. She should not rush for quick success, but long-term development.

Dr. Xu is actually risking being rejected by Kong Linglong today, but he has been running Baishanzhuang for more than ten years, and he thinks he should remind him to be less in charge.

Kong Linglong was not angry. It should be said that Dr. Xu's thoughts were all in her expectation.So she also said as expected: "Master Xu, do you think that I am tarnishing the Kong family's reputation by cooperating with the brothel?"

Doctor Xu's face froze, but he didn't refute.Although the Kong family is not well-known in the capital, the business of the entire Kong family is extremely well-known, otherwise it would not be as far away as Mobei, where there are Kong's semicolons.If they are only greedy for immediate benefits, the Kong family can't be big anyway.

Kong Linglong nodded: "I understand what Dr. Xu thinks. Dr. Xu thinks that this prescription for removing scars, even if it can bring huge benefits, should not be sold to places like brothels. However, the reason why I am willing to sell it is because I was thinking, why my Kong family must avoid places like brothels?"

Dr. Xu was dumbfounded by the words, he found that he didn't understand the girl's thoughts at all, why did the brothel have to be avoided?Isn't this what everyone in the world knows?

Kong Linglong stared at Dr. Xu's face, and slowly said: "The family motto of my Kong family is not to do business that harms others and benefits oneself. When doing business, you must make it convenient for others, and you must not destroy your reputation and suffer for yourself." —— Shopkeeper Xu You must think that I have violated all three of these, right? But no, we have not violated any of these three transactions with the brothel."

Dr. Xu opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but felt bitter in his mouth. He admitted that maybe he was really old, and couldn't understand every sentence of what Kong Linglong was saying.

There was a cold light in Kong Linglong's eyes: "Everyone knows brothel girls, opera actors are ruthless, and they are the most humble people in the world. Shopkeeper Xu opened my Kong Family Medical Clinic, and he has a benevolent heart. He must be very kind to the suffering people he sees in his eyes." It's sympathy. But let me tell you, Jiang Ruyue, the most popular head of the Chuxiang Pavilion, was originally a good official and eunuch. One year, because his father resolutely sentenced a rich man who killed someone to beheaded, when the case file was reported to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, the father of the rich family bribed the officials of the Ministry of Criminal Justice to replace the key evidence. Jiang Ruyue's father was jailed for this reason. Jiang Ruyue's mother died early, and was kicked out of the house by her stepmother. In desperation, she went to her cousin, her childhood sweetheart who was about to marry. She thought that her cousin would take pity on her, but unexpectedly, Instead, she was drugged with rhetoric, and when she woke up, she was reduced to a place of fireworks, and her body was snatched away. Since then, Jiang Ruyue has been bullied by the madam of the brothel, and she can't even commit suicide, because the madam fed her with dumb drugs and sent people all day long. The guards, as soon as they found out that she was looking for death, tortured her severely, and even dragged out the maid who served Jiang Ruyue and directly killed her with a stick. After doing this several times, Jiang Ruyue could only be at the mercy of her. Later, she gradually learned the way of survival, I understand that as long as she smiles, more people will spend a lot of money on her. This is exactly what the madam wants. Jiang Ruyue is born with a rich family and has a beautiful face. It is almost easy to become the top card of the cash cow. Jiang Ruyue has become The top card is gradually able to get in touch with the distinguished guests of the noble family, and these distinguished guests are only willing to praise Jiang Ruyue, so Jiang Ruyue used the hands of these nobles to avenge herself by killing her stepmother and cousin one after another."

When Kong Linglong's voice slowed down, it would maintain a constant tone, which would give people the feeling of a silver needle piercing the skin.

Doctor Xu was already terrified, and his face had already turned from white to blue.

Kong Linglong's eyes were calm, and she didn't catch her breath after speaking for a long time: "Does shopkeeper Xu think that Jiang Ruyue has had a good time? But you don't know the price she paid, just like the world looks down on brothels. Like women, it seems that once they step into that place, they will never be able to get out. Everyone in this capital has a plan in their hearts, let alone those nobles, Jiang Ruyue is beautiful and talented, and those nobles are obsessed with her However, the so-called infatuation is to greet Jiang Ruyue with whips, branding irons and other things that nobles like every day, because Jiang Ruyue is just a brothel courte, as long as you give them money, they will always get what they want. They avenged Jiang Ruyue, and Jiang Ruyue would use herself to repay it, probably ten times and a hundred times, until Jiang Ruyue's life was gone, or she was gone, the repayment they wanted would probably be enough. "

Dr. Xu's voice was trembling, and he stood up from the table all at once: "Young master, don't talk about it."

Kong Linglong stared at Dr. Xu, her voice was slower than before, like an elongated axis: "Jiang Ruyue is very miserable, and there is also Xizilou Gentle Painting, and their leading girl, whose life experience is even more difficult to tell. I The Kong family wants to benefit others and themselves in business. Each of the three Qinlou and Chu restaurants can afford a huge amount of money, and each of them really needs this scar medicine. For them, this scar medicine , is a life-saving medicine.”

Dr. Xu was heartbroken. One thing was right. When he opened a medical clinic, he hated suffering people the most. These words really made his heart bleed. These, these women who have fallen into prostitution, he may know them He couldn't help himself, but when Kong Linglong said it so plainly, he felt bloody as if he was watching a murder scene.

He took a deep breath, the brothel needed medicine to save his life, the Kong family needed to make money, and both parties got what they wanted.

This is the benefit of others.

"Young master," Dr. Xu finally said, "It's Xu who is short-sighted and didn't see the reason behind this. It's better for Shao master to sign these three contracts."

Kong Linglong looked at him, and slowly pursed the corners of her mouth. A person like shopkeeper Xu abides by his duty, and as long as he explains to him, he can gain his understanding.In comparison, she hoped that the Kong family would have more shopkeepers like this.

Shopkeeper Xu looked up and saw that Kong Linglong was lost in thought again. He didn't say anything more, and quietly retreated out.

Just in my heart, I still feel sad.

After Shopkeeper Xu left, Kong Linglong looked at the three contracts at hand. These contracts were a protective umbrella and a stepping stone to the capital.And Baishanzhuang is always the first one, and the other dozen or so Kong's shops she will check in the future may not be as easy to talk to as shopkeeper Xu.

After thinking about it, Kong Linglong put away the three contracts herself.

In the Governor's Mansion, Mrs. Bai sneered and put the things she found in front of Hua Hongxiao: "Daughter, you have been fooled this time. Do you know who is behind the Baishanzhuang?"

Hua Hongxiao stared at the piece of paper: "Who is it?" She really wanted to know who was so daring to humiliate her.

Madam Bai opened her fan, but she didn't see any kindness in her eyes: "Have you heard of the Confucius family in Xianyang?"

Hua Hongxiao frowned: "Which one is the mother talking about? My daughter has never heard of it."

Mrs. Bai sneered: "The Confucian family in Xianyang is a wealthy businessman. Your daughter can never imagine how rich their family is. No wonder your 7000 taels didn't even stir up a splash in the eyes of others. How can you still pay for it?" Remember when you were born, your mother told you that your father wanted to help the palace transport a batch of timber?"

Hua Hongxiao immediately stared: "So what?"

Mrs. Bai said: "Back then, your father had nowhere to ask for help, and all the big families refused to take over this hot potato. Later... it was the Kong family who took over. For this, your father was so grateful that he almost didn't go to the door to thank him. gone."

Hua Hongxiao burst into anger: "Father is so spineless! Even if the merchant helped out! I also paid for it from the Governor's Mansion, and the merchant always pays money and goods, but he, unexpectedly..."

Hua Hongxiao couldn't tell, she still felt a little guilty about talking about her parents.

Mrs. Bai signaled her daughter: "This is the problem. The Kong family solved the things that the big family members felt hot in a blink of an eye. The old man who is the head of the Kong family doesn't even ask for a penny. This is the favor, what do you think?"

Hua Hongxiao sat down angrily: "What a small effort, I think the Kong family is greedy for profit, deliberately asking father to owe this favor, in fact, they have ulterior motives."

The more Hua Hongxiao thought about it, the more she felt right. It was impossible for mere merchants to have such kindness.It was basically calculated for their capital governor's mansion.

Madam Bai looked at her daughter and thought a lot in her heart. She really didn't expect such a coincidence in the world, "Miss Kong who blocked you back is the granddaughter of that old man Kong."

Hua Hongxiao said: "Their Kong family is colluding, just to plot against our governor's mansion, mother, we will not be afraid of her!"

Half a year ago, Mrs. Mu Yun, the head of the Suye family, suddenly became seriously ill. In order to save her mother, the young master offered a reward to the world for medicine. Mrs. Bai and Hua Hongxiao also thought it was a great opportunity, so they visited her once. But they can't cure the disease.

When he came back resentfully, he heard the news that the young master had left Beijing.

A few months later, when the young master came back, Mrs. Yun's illness gradually recovered for some reason. Since then, it has been said that the young master found a cure for the disease and saved the crisis.

Hua Hongxiao tightened her handkerchief, bit her lower lip and said, "Mother, my daughter can't let go of this opportunity.
Mrs. Bai said: "The Kong family must have a way of doing business to become so rich. This Miss Kong family also understands that a prescription is priceless, and it is naturally worthless if it is sold. She will definitely hold the prescription firmly in her own hands." inside."

Hua Hongxiao dismissed it, and said indignantly: "No matter how rich you are, you are still a lowly family. The prescription she holds can at most make money for yellow and white things, but my daughter can do a lot with it!"

How could Mrs. Bai not understand her daughter's thoughts? She thought about it for a while, and suddenly a servant barged in from outside.

Madam Bai was about to reprimand her for being rude, when Hua Hongxiao's eyes lit up suddenly, she saw that the person who came was the eyeliner she had arranged to guard Baishanzhuang.

Quickly asked: "But what's the matter?"
