Chapter 321 Taking Down the Rhubarb

Between Gu Yun's fingers was a piece of red-lined letterhead, which was folded thinly and long.

"Liu Daping's note?" Bai Kou only read it in the afternoon, so he naturally remembered it.

"Hmm." Gu Yun nodded lazily.

"Can you buy the house?"

"Buy it, of course I will. If I don't buy it, I'll call Ji Li Zhan De to go."

"Borrow from whom?"

"Of course it's with the eldest lady. My private house business must not involve half a cent of money with the public, so as to save some tongue-in-cheek villains from talking right and wrong."

"Who would say that? The second grandpa's family is far away, the third grandpa's family is in a slump, and the second great-grandfather's branch is even out of line with this place. They have already developed on their own, and they have never been honored by the grandpa. "

"Of course you can't see where the problem is."

Gu Yun hooked his fingers to Bai Kou to ask her to go over, Bai Kou pursed her mouth, but took a step back instead, Gu Yun laughed dumbfounded, and pretended to stand up to arrest someone.

Bai Kou didn't want the two of them to have a commotion and Baoxia could hear it. She was also afraid of being gossiped, so she pouted and walked over reluctantly.

Gu Yun didn't make trouble with her again this time, he just pulled her to sit next to him again, and grabbed her hand in his own to play with.

"Don't forget, I'm the youngest of the three of us, but I started to make money to support myself first, and the other two haven't moved yet. If I borrow money from the public, there will definitely be gossip in the mansion after a long time." Rumor has it that the subordinates of the two of them cannot guarantee that they won't gossip. I'm guarding against the villains at home, and I don't bother to pay attention to the clansmen outside." Gu Yun said angrily.

"Well, that's right. If the two young masters remain silent, the servant girl will gossip about them."

"What can you say?"

"You are trying to make money to support your family and fill up the public money. Those two are older but still eat and drink at home without any contribution. The meaning is obvious. They are sure that they will be part of the family in the future. Try as much as possible. Spending the money of the public is serious, and donating money to the public doesn't mean that you are at a disadvantage?"

"You gossip so cruelly."

"The servant girl is just talking about it. It is also possible that they have already invested money in some property, but it is in their mother's name. The money earned is regarded as the mother's private interest in the accounts, and has nothing to do with the public."

"Okay, okay, stop, I'll feel uncomfortable if I continue to listen." Gu Yun rubbed Bai Kou's head, "Anyway, you just need to understand what I mean."

"Well, anyway, the purpose is to never take advantage of the public, and not to gossip for others. Fortunately, the eldest lady is strong and can afford it."

"It's not for nothing. In business, you have to pay interest on loans."

"Sure, I'll give you what I need. How much is the interest?"

"Five per cent interest per month, with a term of one year."

"It's so cheap. If you don't even earn the principal and interest after working hard for a year, Xian Bugou can close down."

"Should I earn it?"

"I'll show you the calculation. The wholesale price starts from two boxes, and the ex-factory price starts from twenty boxes. We will use the ex-factory price to calculate. The unit price is twelve yuan per yuan, one hundred and eight yuan per box, divided into 36 packages, one box The total price is 290 renminbi, and the total price of 920 boxes is 21 renminbi, one tael of silver is equivalent to 15 renminbi, which is converted to 49 taels of silver, and the manual warehouse for materials in the middle is removed. The cost of transportation, the net profit is about [-] taels. If you find a shop on Shizi Street to open a store for retail, the price of three packs is [-] yuan, which is a little more than [-] yuan per piece. As for the wealthy family They buy it for their own use and don’t need beautiful packaging, so they are given a bare package price that is one penny less than the basic price, not for making money, but for advertising.”

"Sell 15 boxes and earn about [-] taels?"

"Feel less? How much is the monthly salary of the elder from the rank of fifth rank? Is there such a sum?"

Gu Yun was so choked that he raised his hand and flicked Bai Kou on the forehead, "You are so bold, are you making fun of me, or are you making fun of the Elder Master?"

"Give me 1 guts and I won't dare to talk nonsense, but there is no more intuitive metaphor than this."

"Yes, yes, you are always right."

Bai Kou smiled triumphantly.

Listening to Bai Kou's calculation of this series of numbers, Gu Yun also felt very beautiful in his heart. He felt a little more confident about the income of the coming year, rubbed Bai Kou's head, got up and left, and went directly to the front of the corridor to the study as usual. , no one knew that he came from Baikou's house.

Bai Kou sent the young master off, and also went to his study to be a director, forgetting about the young master taking advantage of him.

The next day, Bai Kou finally got the business form from Qing Lan from Ji Li Zhan, and carefully filed it for future use.

Two days later, Liu Daping's note was delivered to the mansion again, and this time it was delivered to Bai Kou. He took Gu Shizi's money last time, so he naturally worked hard.

The Dahuangji family claimed that it was an old house that had been passed down for generations, and they had a feeling for it. In addition, Tianshuifang belonged to Shangfang, so the land price and house price were higher than Zhongfang and Xiafang, so they asked for 400 taels of silver.

However, Liu Daping often handles lawsuits for his neighbors on weekdays, and he knows a lot of people. He found a well-known man from the village house to drink, drank a few catties of wine, and dug out the land price of the lot where Dahuangji's house is located from the man's mouth. What is the market price of the house price? For a standard one-acre private house, plus an old house, the house price, land price and dental commission are combined together and converted to no more than 300 taels. This comparison has a price difference of almost 100 taels .

Bai Kou waited until Shizi saw the elder come back at night, and waited for him in his study with the note. The two discussed it and made an offer of 300 taels. Buying and selling a house requires an intermediary. This time it was Gu Yun's offer, the commission rate was five cents, that is, the house price was 300 taels, and a commission of 15 taels was required. In addition, he promised Liu Daping five taels, asking him to facilitate this matter.

After the two agreed, Bai Kou wrote a note and handed it over to Yan Zheng when she met with him the next day, then she rushed to the East Kitchen, shared two carriages with the stewards, and went to the East Market to visit the market and learn about this year's New Year's market. .

Dongshi, Xishi and Yirenfang, these three places ran for three days, with a thick pile of quotations in their hands. The merchants knew that they were the kitchen stewards of Duke Ye's mansion. Looking back, they were extremely diligent. The land sent gifts to them in the mansion, Zeng Zhu and the others just accepted it with a smile, and divided it into four evenly regardless of anything, and Bai Kou also had a share.

During these three days, Liu Daping finally got it right with Dahuangji’s family. Originally, they offered 400 taels to save room for bargaining. The bottom line in their hearts was 350 taels, and the commission to the dental firm at this price was 17 taels. , I can only get more than 330 taels, but if I accept the counter-offer of 300 taels, I can actually put it in my pocket, and Gu Shizi will pay the commission.

Considering that the family no longer has any income, the former regular customers are now running to Xianbugou, and their family even lost the business of fragrant soap, and the shops on the street quickly bought new goods from other shops. The closure of the store has no effect on the store's business, so it's better to take 300 taels of silver and change to another place to do some other business.
