Chapter 246 Very Satisfied

Anlu Prefecture, Changshou County.

Hanshui Wharf.

It's autumn grain harvest season, and the north is at war with the Tatars. The situation in Xuanfu, Datong, Piantouguan and other places has been tightened, and the Hanshui Wharf is much more noisy than usual.

At this moment, beside a carriage, Su Xigui stood there leisurely, looking at the ships on the river that had just brought in supplies, his heart was filled with pride.

Officials and businessmen do what he does, and the officials backed by him are not only getting bigger and bigger, but also relying on him more and more. With a lot of money, and having contacts with "potential stocks" like Xingwangfu...

Proud of life!
But every time it gets up, there are always some unharmonious voices: "...Master, you should think about it again, even if I haven't made much contribution to you, I can't just throw me to Zhu's mother and son Right? How decent is it to work for a woman and a child?"

But it is the shopkeeper of the horse.

Shopkeeper Ma felt aggrieved in his heart.

An Lu, who was sent away to become the shopkeeper, is already like being exiled, and people can't see his bright future.

Who would have thought that it would be more straightforward now, the owner would just disregard him and let him do it with someone else?

And this kind of operation?

Su Xigui brought shopkeeper Ma to Hanshui Wharf to discuss handover matters with Zhu Hao.

Su Xigui not only handed over the business to Zhu Hao, but also the warehouse he rented by the river, and the temporarily built warehouse, as well as manpower, such as horse shopkeepers, etc... and some business contacts, and even a large amount of inventory.

Send everything you can.

Send it safely.

Su Xigui looked at the gentle river, and there was a heroic tone in his tone: "Old horse, you and I have been with me for so many years, have I ever treated you badly? This is an opportunity for you to create a better life... Don't look down on other people's mother and child , Can support this piece of business by the Han River, is it a simple person? I still expect to cooperate with them to make money."

"But……"

"There's nothing wrong with it. I didn't hire you back then, and the contract of sale is still in my hands. I'll sell you now. Do you have any objections?"

Su Xigui saw that kind words of persuasion were useless, so he threatened directly.

Shopkeeper Ma could tell that he was given away by Su Xigui just like those goods.

Su Xigui slapped him with a stick, and gave him a sweet date instead: "Old Ma, Mr. Zhu is very shrewd. You won't lose money if you work with him. I can't do anything about it. I'm doing business in the Anlu world. It has something to do with King Xing's Mansion, do you think Huang Gong wants to have something to do with King Xing's Mansion? Huang Gong is about to enter the imperial court as the servant of the household department, so handing over the land business of Anlu at this time is actually for the convenience of each other."

Said the reason again.

Su Xigui is very good at doing business, and usually has a very good attitude towards these shopkeepers, treating them as friends and family members, which is why shopkeeper Ma and others are working so hard for him.

But once the matter is decided, nothing can change his mind.

Shopkeeper Ma has a dejected look on his face: "Master, I miss you. You also said that, if Zhu Xiao is a ghost, if he does things for him, can he please?"

Su Xigui stared at him: "He is smart in business. What you should worry about is me, the one who trades with him. Now you have become his shopkeeper. What are you worried about? You are the shopkeeper, and the boss is smart in business. You You should be happy... Come on, give me a smile."

This is a bit difficult.

Shopkeeper Ma now feels that his life has been plunged into boundless darkness, how can he laugh?
But I also know that the former club is determined to let him transfer.

What can he do?
"Ah……"

He reluctantly grinned and tried to squeeze out a smile, which was uglier than crying, but Su Xigui smiled like a flower.

It's just that smile... shriveled and wrinkled, with a little oily shine, it looks a little disgusting: "That's right, when we meet next time, I should call you Ma Daojia, you are promoted ah .”

"Hoohoo."

The shopkeeper of the horse wants to cry but has no tears.

……

……

the other side.

Zhu Hao is taking Zhu Niang to inspect and accept the "spoils" obtained after negotiating with Su Xigui.

Zhu Niang was still ignorant as if she had been in another world.

"Xiaohao, mother told you to do business with collapsed houses, but... Su Dongzhu, what is wrong in his mind? Why did he give us such a big shop? These goods...he also gave it to him Ours?"

The "collapsed house" here is not a later Internet buzzword, that is, the image of idols in the eyes of fans collapsed, but generally refers to the place where business and travel goods are stored, and the depositor must pay the owner for storage and storage fees.

It was a whim for Zhu Niang to want to do this business. She wanted to have a stable income channel without having to go out in person. She never expected to be able to do business on the edge of Hanshui, which is controlled by local officials and where various businesses gather. What a big deal.

But now, Zhu Hao directly pushed her to the throne of Dazuo Shang.

Zhu Hao smiled and said, "Look, mother, these are lease contracts for six warehouses, four of which have just been signed, and the lease period is five years, and Su Dongzhu has prepaid the rent for three years... the other two are leases he used to The used warehouse has a ten-year lease. When we take over this time, the estimated expenses are mainly labor... He will no longer be responsible for this Su Dongzhu, and the monthly expenses are about twenty or thirty taels..."

Zhu Niang felt even more incredible.

The business is also let go, and even the warehouse space is rented in this way for nothing to save her?
"Mother, don't worry, Mr. Su is so shrewd in business, he can't tell the difference between interests? This time, I actually gave us [-]% of the profits from his official salt business, which he didn't want to give us. , just use these things to pay off the debt, and there will be no debt from now on.”

Zhu Hao explained the reason.

But this reason is hard to convince Zhu Niang.

"People from the palace are here!"

Zhu Hao suddenly pointed to the official road in the distance and said.

Zhu Niang saw that there was indeed a carriage with a wide axle coming, and the guards of the Wangfuyiweisi who were riding on tall horses accompanied them to protect, and Lu Song, whom she had seen before, was among them.

Zhu Niang asked: "Why does the palace want someone to come?"

Zhu Haodao: "Wangfu will be our business partner from now on. They will sell through us if they have goods. What Wangfu needs will be directly purchased from us. We are not only doing stock trading, but also wholesalers..."

……

……

Some things are difficult to explain clearly to Zhu Niang.

The person who came down from the carriage was Zhang Zuo, so Su Xigui had invited him.

Zhang Zuo is now the veritable chief steward of King Xing's mansion, so naturally King Xing will not come forward when it comes to business matters, and Zhang Zuo is the plenipotentiary representative.

The purpose of Su Xigui inviting Zhang Zuo to come is because he is afraid that Zhu Hao will "trap" him, or that Zhu Hao will not believe what he said. When Zhu Hao turns around to do business with the palace, he just puts Su Xigui aside. Wouldn't it be a steal? ?

Su Xigui didn't bother to care about Zhu Hao's business with others, but for the business with Xing Wangfu, he had to show that he was the big merchant behind the scenes who actually supplied the Wangfu.

Since Zhang Zuo came here in person, Zhu Hao knew that Su Xigui should have given him a lot of benefits before.

Zhang Zuo estimated that after Yuan Zonggao came back, he lost more than three hundred taels of silver from the telescope business, and got back part of it from Su Xigui.

"Oh, isn't this the head of Su? Mrs. Zhu, long time no see!"

No matter how greedy Zhang Zuo is, on the surface he is a good man who can balance the interests of all parties and wholeheartedly care for the Xingwangfu.

In fact, everyone knows that eunuchs are greedy for money. Who makes eunuchs have no guarantee for the future?There is no one to provide for the elderly, and everything can only be relied on by oneself.

It cannot be said that Zhang Zuo is a villain because of this.

Su Xigui stepped forward and bowed his hands in salute, but Zhu Niang just gave a blessing from afar.

Zhu Hao walked over on behalf of Zhu Niang, and looked at Zhang Zuo with a smile: "Zhang Fengzheng, why are you here today?"

"Zhang Fengzheng, Zhu Xiaodao, you both work in Xingwang's mansion, you should be familiar with each other, so I don't need to introduce you."

According to the procedure, here Su Xigui originally wanted to introduce new suppliers to the representatives of Prince Xing's Mansion, and complete the transition of the role of the old and new suppliers in front of the Palace, but now this step can be saved, he continued: "It's like this, After all, what I do is licensed goods trading. The mansion shop in this place is unable to take care of it, so I hand over the business to Mrs. Zhu.

"Third Madam Zhu is honest and sincere in her business. If there is any missing goods in the palace, just tell Master Zhu about it. If he can't supply it here, I will try my best to transfer it from other places."

Su Xigui would not speak too directly.

I just need to say that I can't stay in Anlu all the time, and sometimes I can't take care of it, so I found a partner to be a middleman.

In fact, where does the palace not know the stakes?
Just as Zhu Hao analyzed to Su Xigui before, relying on Su Xigui's contacts in the Xing Palace, the two sides made several deals in a short period of time, but all of this was based on the premise that Huang Zan was Huguang's political envoy.

Once Huang Zan entered the court and became the Minister of the Household Department, and he was still the Sixth Ministry Hall in Beijing, Xing Wangfu must draw a clear line with Huang Zan, and the business with Su Xigui would not be able to continue.

But if Zhu Hao acts as a middleman...

Xingwang's Mansion and Su Xigui can each get what they need. What Xingwang's Mansion needs is an official businessman with a strong background like Su Xigui who can make a big business.

And Su Xigui also needs to establish a good relationship with Prince Xing's Mansion. If Zhu Houzhao suddenly hiccups in the future, then Su Xigui will make a lot of money for the connection he established with Prince Xing's Mansion today.

Even if the emperor has an heir later, or the one who inherits the throne is not Prince Xing's Mansion, or even if this happened decades later, Su Xiguiping will not lose money if he buys and sells at a low price, it's just that he has put in time and energy.

This is called political investment, and you cannot bet on one side.

Knowing that a real dragon might come out of Prince Xing's Mansion, and Su Xigui has such a relationship as Zhu Hao and Tang Yin, and his brother-in-law is still the current governor of Huguang, if he doesn't bet on the nearby water, then Su Xigui is too stupid.

Zhang Zuo looked at Zhu Hao with admiration: "Zhu Hao...you really know how to do business."

In Zhang Zuo's view, Zhu Hao is a great "good guy".

Previously, he was given five hundred taels of silver to buy copper pipes and decorations for the telescope, which allowed him to earn three hundred and fifty taels of silver out of thin air. Although the money was later confiscated by the palace, it was not Zhu Hao's fault, it was clearly the old man Yuan Zonggao. Insist on checking the accounts against me.

Besides, even if the money is confiscated, King Xing thinks that I am a capable person who took the initiative to save money for the palace, and now entrusting me to take care of the big accounts of the palace is the best reward for me.

You Su Xigui found this middleman for the palace.

Our family is very satisfied.
