Red Mansion: Bastards rule the roost

Chapter 159
  Jia Cong was too lazy to talk nonsense and said straightforwardly: "Everyone pays a deposit of 50,000 silver, and you can go to Shenxian Winery to buy a thousand boxes of new wine at the original price every month. As for where you ship it to sell, I don't care." After that, he waved. , the girl came in holding a tray with more than ten special jade plaques on it.

"This is a token. If you are willing to do this business, please accept it. If you don't want to do it, Cong will not force it." Jia Cong waved his hand and ordered the girl to send it to everyone.

"What does this deposit mean?" Shi Nai asked. This amount is not small. Nowadays, every family is relying on their old foundation to support themselves. It is a bit difficult to take out so much cash in one go.

"It's just a pledge of credit. If you take the wine out and pass it off as good quality, thereby ruining the reputation of Shenxian Winery, this deposit will not be refunded, and we will no longer provide wine in the future.

If you no longer want to do this business in the future, you can return the jade token and get the deposit back intact. "Jia Cong said that he was deeply baptized by the bicycle sharing routine and had a special liking for the deposit thing.

Everyone smiled bitterly, why is this kid so smart? To put it nicely, who would give up this good deal? The margin is equivalent to a sheep entering a tiger's mouth.

Niu Jizong laughed, quickly picked up a jade plaque, put it in his sleeve, and said: "Brother Cong is quick to speak, and for Lao Niu's spleen and stomach, I will take one of this plaque, and the deposit will be delivered tomorrow."

He knew in his mind that the supply of this fairy wine was now in short supply, and it was hard to find a bottle. Although the original price was 5 taels of silver per box, the actual price had already been increased to more than 8 taels, and there was no place to buy it. If shipped to Jiangnan, the price will soar to more than 20 taels.

Even if you only sell it in Shenjing, you can make a net profit of 3000 silver a month, which is 36000 silver a year. It is really a good deal.

Today's Rongguo Mansion only takes in 20,000 to 30,000 yuan a year.

Jia Rong hurriedly stood up and took a piece, bowed respectfully and said, "My nephew, thank you, third uncle, for your support."

Everyone rushed to take it and thanked them one by one.

The Shi brothers looked at each other and knew that Jia Cong was not someone to be trifled with. They didn't dare to use force anymore and took two pieces.

Only Wang Ren was left frozen on the spot, neither taking it nor taking it, staring at Jia Cong bitterly. Finally, he slowly picked it up, put it in his arms, and sat down without saying a word.

Niu Jizong and others looked at each other in surprise. Did Wang Ziteng cultivate such a thing? It's simply embarrassing.

Jia Cong glanced at Niu Jizong, picked up the tea cup, took a sip and said, "Just send the deposit to Shenxian Liquor House."

When everyone saw him serving tea to see off the guests, they hurriedly stood up and said goodbye politely.

Wang Ren glanced at Jia Cong before leaving, and went straight there without waiting for his mother. Today he was slapped in the face by Jia Cong, and he felt resentful in his heart. He secretly said that it is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge in ten years. If he finds the opportunity, he will give Jia Cong a hard blow. .

Niu Jizong deliberately lagged behind. When he saw that everyone was gone, he smiled and said: "Brother Cunzhou, you have such a beautiful son like Brother Cong in your house. To put it bluntly, one day the young phoenix will be as loud as the old phoenix. It's conceivable." Got it."

"Brother Shi, I have given you too much praise. I hope that Brother Shi will give you more guidance and guidance in the future." Jia Zheng said with a cupped hand.

"Brother Cong and I have a few words to say. Can I borrow the study room?" Niu Jizong said.

Jia Zheng personally led the way and sent the two to Mengpo Zhai for discussion.

The guest and the host sit down.

"Brother Cong's demeanor today makes you feel like you are seeing your late father again." Niu Jizong said with a smile.

Jia Cong waved his hand and said with a smile: "How can Cong be worthy of the uncle's love? It's just that there are some people who are jealous of others, but Cong won't tolerate them. By the way, where is the jade plaque today?"

"Here it is." Niu Jizong hurriedly took it out. Jia Cong took it, took another piece from his sleeve, handed it to him, and said: "Other people's brands can only fit into a thousand boxes, but this brand can fit into two thousand boxes. I should repay Shibo's kindness with a cong."

Niu Jizong was overjoyed and said with a smile: "Brother Cong has a kind intention, but Shibo is disrespectful." After speaking, he took out an envelope from his sleeve and said, "It will be of great help if you memorize this article."

Jia Cong took it with a smile, knowing that it was a question from the martial arts examination, and said: "Cong must be a good student to study."

"I heard that you delayed going to Yangzhou for several months. Have you put down your time now?" Niu Jizong said.

"Practice hard day and night, don't dare to delay." Jia Cong said.

"Very good, very good. The candidates from all over the country have already arrived in Beijing, and the competition is just a few days away. Although you have a title, multiple titles are not a bad thing, so don't be careless." Niu Jizong nodded.

"Cong would like to follow Shibo's teachings."

  After sending Niu Jizong away, Jia Cong thought for a while and ordered someone to call Jia Yun. Now Jia Yun was working as a canteen purchasing errand, earning seventy or eight dollars a month. She was feeling proud when she heard Jia Cong's call and came over in a hurry.

"My nephew is paying my respects to my third uncle. After not seeing him for several months, my third uncle has become more and more heroic, handsome and upright. My nephew is so happy to have my third uncle to see me."

Jia Yun knelt down and kowtowed, and said excitedly, if it weren't for the jade card given by Jia Cong, would it be her turn to do such a good job? Jia Chang and Jia Ling didn't even want to fight.

Jia Cong shouted and said angrily: "Brother Yun, I originally thought you were a man of great talent, but why are you so short-sighted?"

Jia Yun's heart tightened, she hurriedly bowed to the ground, bowed and said: "If my nephew does something wrong, please punish him."

Jia Cong said: "You exchanged the jade pendant I gave you for a comprador in the kitchen? You are too petty. You can just tell Sister Ping'er about this matter. Why do you need to find the second sister-in-law? I am so embarrassed. She scolded her."

Jia Yun smiled bitterly and said: "My nephew is wrong. Third uncle is generous. As the saying goes, a man is poor but his ambition is short, and a horse is thin and hairy. Now that my uncle has a prosperous career and has taken the capital by storm, he naturally does not take this trivial matter in his eyes. But in To my nephew, this is a big deal, so he used the jade pendant rashly, and I hope my third uncle will forgive me."

Jia Cong nodded, seeing that he could speak, he smiled and said: "What you said makes some sense, that's all. Now that I'm commending you, you can resign from this job in the kitchen. Tomorrow I'll take a few thousand silver and ask you to be here." The Ministry of Civil Affairs will give you a Tongzhiguan, and from now on you will take care of the winery outside for me.

You know Mr. Yan Fei, he is old, Qian is a craftsman, he doesn’t know how to twist and turn, so they will be responsible for production and other matters, and you will be responsible for greeting, sending, and managing the accounting books, monthly records, etc. For the time being, it's the same as the two of them, 100 silver a month, and dividends at the end of the year. Do you understand? "

Jia Yun felt joy falling from the sky, hurriedly knelt down, kowtowed like pounding garlic, and said: "My nephew's liver and brain are ruined, and he will go through fire and water to repay his uncle's kindness."

Jia Cong waved his hand and said: "I won't say any more high-sounding words. Just remember, don't leak a word about the winery. From now on, you will take care of your monthly income and give it to Brother Xue. If I If you're not here and there's something urgent, please ask Miss Xue to make the decision. Don't bother her on weekdays. Remember?"

"Nephew remembers."

"The matter of the wine shop is very involved. If you reveal even a little bit, the secret will be revealed or it will affect me. Do you know the consequences?" Jia Cong warned with a cold light in his eyes.

When Jia Yun's eyes met his, she suddenly felt a chill in her chest and said hurriedly: "Uncle, don't worry, my nephew would rather die than say a word. If he violates it, my mother and son will be punished by heaven and earth. Even if they die in the ground, they will not be safe." ." Nowadays, Jia Cong can be regarded as a murderer, and his eyes are naturally sharp and captivating.

"Okay, let's go. Come here early tomorrow morning, and I'll take you down to recognize someone." Jia Cong knew that he was extremely filial to his mother. Hearing his mother's oath, Jia Cong nodded.

"Yes, nephew, please leave." Jia Yun stepped back respectfully.
