Chapter 57

"Business?" Shen Chuo smiled and stretched out his hand to stroke his cuffs, "I'm very interested to know, what kind of business does shopkeeper Zhou want to discuss with me?"

Jian Yan once specially asked Bai Wei to tell Zhou Lin that Shen Chuo was a person who talked about the truth and the truth. I am afraid that he is not a very easy person to deal with. Go around into the cover.So when I went to talk with Shen Chuo this time, I simply didn't care about anything, just stated my intention directly, and then asked Shen Chuo if he agreed or disagreed.

So Zhou Lin nodded directly and said, "Yes, I want to discuss a win-win business with Mr. Shen."

After that, he reached out and took out a roll of paper from his sleeve, but only took the outermost one and handed it over.

Shen Chuo reached out to take it, and saw that it was a string of bracelets.

It's just that this bracelet is neither gold nor silver, nor gemstones nor crystals, but it's just a red string with a small, cute and unusual beckoning cat hanging from it.

Shen Chuo knew about beckoning cats and beckoning cats, and had seen many styles of beckoning cats and beckoning cats, but this was the first time he had seen such a beckoning cat bracelet.

He was thinking in amazement that the lucky cat can not only be placed in the shop or as an ornament at home, but can also be made smaller, woven on a red string, and worn as a bracelet on his hand.

But no matter how surprised he was in his heart, he didn't show the slightest bit on his face, he just shook the paper in his hand and said with a smile: "What a delicate bracelet."

He didn't show any interest in this bracelet at all, and he didn't ask Zhou Lin what he meant by showing him such a bracelet. He was waiting for Zhou Lin to tell his intentions.

Sure enough, Zhou Lin continued: "Mr. Shen should know that these days, whenever anyone imitates the styles of the Lucky Cat and the Lucky Cat in my Shijing Pavilion, I will immediately discard those old styles, and start to sell other things. Two new styles. This is one of the reasons why everyone would rather spend a little more money to buy lucky cats and beckoning cats in my Shijin Pavilion than to spend less money to buy them from other people. Who would not How about buying the latest style? Similarly, this lucky cat bracelet is the same. What you see today is such a lucky cat bracelet, and tomorrow I can launch another brand new style. All in all, although it is only A small beckoning cat, beckoning cat, but I can change them into endless styles, so that everyone from high-ranking officials to ordinary people, regardless of gender, age or class, will pay money Come buy a lucky cat, a lucky cat."

Shen Chuo raised his eyebrows and signaled with a smile: "Shopkeeper Zhou, please continue."

He probably guessed what Zhou Lin meant.

Zhou Lin had countless ideas about Lucky Cats and Lucky Cats in his mind. He wanted to let go, but his funds were limited and he had no backer in the capital. Today, I just want to find him as a backer, and by the way, I want him to contribute money to invest in individual stocks.

Naturally, everyone is a businessman, and everyone will not do things that are not beneficial.He is more interested in the fact that Zhou Lin said the word "win-win" just now, and he wants to know what kind of win-win method it will be.

Zhou Lin has always kept Jian Yan's warning in mind, and he just needs to tell Shen Chuo their purpose directly.As for saying it out, whether to accept it or not is up to Shen Chuo.And those imaginary ones, they can't play with Shen Chuo, so they simply ignore them.

He continued: "So what we mean is, how can it be enough that only so many people in the capital come to buy our lucky cats and lucky cats? There are so many people in the whole country. We can open them in every province. The last Shijin Pavilion in Beijing was bought by people from all over the country. Mr. Shen, just think about it, how big a deal this will be?"

Shen Chuo noticed that what he said just now was about us, not me.

What do we mean?Who else but him?
But he just asked the sharpest question calmly: "It's a good idea that you want to open a Shijin Pavilion in every province of the country, but it's a pity that shopkeeper Zhou doesn't seem to have so much money on hand. , and don’t have so many contacts.”

"So that's what I said just now. I want to discuss a business with Mr. Shen." Zhou Lin replied with a smile, "I can assure you that this deal is extremely cost-effective for Mr. Shen."

"Do you want me to take money out and invest in your business?" Shen Chuo asked with a smile, "There are more than a dozen provinces across the country, not to mention, even if only one Shijin Pavilion is opened in each province, there are still more than a dozen That’s right. I don’t know how much money shopkeeper Zhou wants me to pay for such a large expenditure? How much money does shopkeeper Zhou plan to take out?”

"We don't take any money. But all the money expenses will be collected by you, Young Master Shen."

Shen Chuo was about to reach out for the celadon lotus-patterned celadon teacup on the red sandalwood Eight Immortals table, when he heard that he paused, then raised his eyes to glance at Zhou Lin, and said with a half-smile: "Zhou The shopkeeper, is this going to be an empty-handed white wolf?"

Zhou Lin pointed to the piece of paper with a lucky cat bracelet on the table with a smile, and said with a smile, "No, no. Although we don't invest in money, we can invest in this."

Shen Chuo understood what he meant.

Although Zhou Lin does not take money, what he takes is creativity.

Zhou Lin is probably the only one with the endless creativity of this lucky cat.

Shen Chuo didn't answer, but just took the teacup, drank the tea slowly with his head down, and at the same time, he was thinking about what Zhou Lin just said in his mind.

To be honest, he thought about cooperating with Zhou Lin before.But it is only limited to investing in this Shijin Pavilion in the capital to make it infinitely bigger. He has never thought of opening a Shijin Pavilion in every province of the country.

Although his Shen family is rich, since their ancestors started to do business, they have only based themselves in the capital, doing silk and tea business honestly.It was passed to his hands, and he began to gradually expand outward, but it was only limited to the surrounding area.But this week Lin came up to tell him directly that he wanted to open Shijing Pavilion to all provinces across the country.

Firstly, Shen Chuo was shocked by Zhou Lin's courage and vision, secondly, he was naturally moved.Just thinking about it, one Shijin Pavilion can already earn this much money every day, if more than a dozen Shijin Pavilions can earn so much money every day...

This is indeed a very considerable income.

But naturally, it was impossible for him to show his enthusiasm so quickly, otherwise he would be at a disadvantage in this negotiation.

So he put down the tea cup, leaned back, leaned lazily on the back of the chair, and then said to Zhou Lin indifferently: "Tell me what you think."

Zhou Lin smiled.He knew that Shen Chuo was already moved.

So he said calmly: "What we mean is that we can authorize you the name of Shijinge, no matter how many Shijinge you have opened across the country, we have no objection. And the ones in the capital Shijin Pavilion is our headquarters, and all the daily income belongs to us, and you have no right to interfere. As for the Shijin Pavilion in other provinces, you get [-]% of the daily income, and we have [-]%.”

Shen Chuo raised his eyebrows: "You mean, let me spend money to set up assorted pavilions all over the country, and you don't pay a penny, and in the end you have to share [-]% of your daily income? Shopkeeper Zhou, your plan But he played well."

Zhou Lin smiled good-temperedly: "Although we didn't pay out the money, we gave you the name Shijing Pavilion. I think you also know that the name Shijing Pavilion still has some weight in the boundary of the capital. , and sell lucky cats and beckoning cats, as far as the whole country is concerned, you can't find a second one. Rare things are more expensive. Only in the past few days, our Shijin Pavilion was full of people every day, and you can It can be seen how popular Lucky Cats and Lucky Cats are. This is the case in the capital, isn’t it the case in other provinces? Such a novelty, it must be good wherever it goes, and it will only make a steady profit. No compensation. And if you cooperate with us, we can also promise that for all the Shijin Pavilions you open in other provinces, we will regularly replace you with new styles of Lucky Cats and Lucky Cats. In a word, as long as our Beijing If there are any new styles in Shijing Pavilion, those Shijin Pavilions you opened will definitely receive new ones immediately. However, you can choose to buy these new styles from us, or we can give you a design, you Funding and asking people to buy it by themselves. Of course, our suggestion is that it is best to purchase the goods in a unified and fixed way, and all the Shijin Pavilions in the country will distribute the goods at the same time, so that the name of the Shijin Pavilion can be better established. Otherwise, the styles of goods in different places will not be the same. Unification, it’s not good to teach people to see it. Doing this is good for you and us.”

Shen Chuo frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.

What Zhou Lin said is actually equivalent to a brand new business model.This mode focuses on starting a shop's name.And when the name of the shop is established, any shop with this name, no matter where it is opened, will benefit greatly.

How come he never thought of this before?Who the hell is this Zhou Lin who has such a shrewd mind?Moreover, in what he just said, there are actually several words that he has never heard before, but after careful recollection, they are extremely meaningful and endless.

For example, shop...

Shen Chuo was extremely shocked, shocked at what kind of strategy Zhou Lin had in his heart, but he still didn't show it at all, and the hand holding the teacup was as steady as Mount Tai.It's just that a pair of eyes gradually sank.

"What if I don't agree to cooperate with you? After all, you don't pay a penny, but you have to account for [-]% of your daily income. This kind of cooperation is my loss everywhere."

Zhou Lin smiled: "I believe Mr. Shen still has this vision. Otherwise, you wouldn't have changed the Taoyuan passed down from your ancestors to the current business model."

After a pause, he smiled again: "Young Master Shen, you should know that the capital is deep and there are still many capable wealthy businessmen. If my proposal like this is taken out, I believe there will always be someone who is willing to cooperate with us , do you think so?"

Shen Chuo didn't answer, but asked: "Master Zhou has been to that Taoyuan on the outskirts of my Shen family?"

Zhou Lin has never been there.But he also knew that the Taoyuan was mentioned in his sentence just now, if he would say that he had never been there, Shen Chuo would definitely become suspicious.So he nodded and said with a smile: "I was lucky to have been there once. It is really a place with a good view, and I still remember it fresh."

"Oh?" With a smile on Shen Chuo's lips, he lowered his head slightly, stretched out his hand and slowly turned the green finger on his thumb, and then asked slowly, "I don't know if shopkeeper Zhou thinks that I am in the Taoyuan of Shen's family. How is the construction of the Liuyun Building?"

Zhou Lin naturally didn't know, he had never been to Taoyuan at all, how could he know how the pavilions and pavilions inside were built.But he saw the grandeur of the Shen family's flower hall where he was now, and thought that the Liuyun Building was much the same.So he nodded and said in admiration, "Very good. It's very magnificent."

Shen Chuo paused for a while as he turned his fingers, and the smile on his lips deepened after a while.

In the Taoyuan of his Shen family, there is no Liuyun Building at all.This week, Lin Kou kept talking about the business model of Taoyuan, and he also said that he had been to Taoyuan, and he still had a fresh memory of the scenery there, but he didn't even know that there was no such place as Liuyun Building.

There must be someone else behind Zhou Lin.And he, Zhou Lin, is just a tool to spread the word.

So Shen Chuo raised his head with a smile, but his eyes accidentally caught the paper in Zhou Lin's hand, and he was really curious, so he asked with a smile: "What is the paper in Zhou Lin's hand? Things? Are you holding them so tightly?"

Zhou Lin lowered his head and glanced at the paper in his hand. It was indeed squeezed a little tightly by him, and there were probably countless folds on it.

This paper is naturally not very precious, it is just ordinary white paper.The key is the words written on it and the things drawn on it.Moreover, it was also the first time for him to sit down and negotiate with someone like this, and the other party was Shen Chuo who spoke falsely, with more eyes than lotus, and was not easy to deal with at all, so although Zhou Lin just looked at him I have always been calm, but in fact I am still very nervous.And this tension is bound to hold the things in his hands tightly.

When Shen Chuo asked about this, Zhou Lin smiled and said: "These two pieces of paper, one with eight characters written on it, and one with a map drawn, are to express our sincerity in wanting to cooperate with Mr. Zhou."

After all, he reached out and handed it over.

Shen Chuo took it, and slowly unfolded the paper in his hand.Rao is usually able to keep calm about everything, but he still showed a shocked expression during the meeting.

Of these two pieces of paper, one had the words "Hutong Tianxia" and "Huitong Tianxia" written on it, and a map was drawn on the other.

This map starts from the dynasty they belonged to, and spreads out in all directions, all of which are other countries.Among them are Fusang, Liuli, Persia, Dashi and other countries that he already knows, but there are many other countries that he does not know.On the side of the map, there are four big characters on the world map written in regular lowercase letters, and there is a line of small characters on the side, which says, if the sea is forbidden, the world is so big and the world is so vast, where can I not go?Why don't you worry about being able to communicate with the world and connect the world?
Shen Chuo looked up at Zhou Lin, his eyes darkened, and he pursed his lips in silence.Obviously shocked by the contents of these two pieces of paper.

world!world!These two words alone are enough to make the blood in his whole body boil.

When he was still thinking about expanding his family's industry to surrounding provinces and counties, this person came up and told him that the world was the world.Compared with this person, he is no different from a frog at the bottom of the well, who can only see the sky beyond the mouth of the well.But this person can see the whole world, the whole world.

He clenched the two pieces of paper in his hand, his eyes were dark, and his voice was firm: "Okay. I will cooperate with you."

The heart that Zhou Lin had been holding on to was finally let go, and a smile appeared on his face: "Okay. Mr. Shen, we have a happy cooperation."

After the two talked about the details of opening Shijin Pavilion in various provinces across the country, Zhou Lin bid farewell, saying that he wanted to rush back to see the smashed shop, replenish the supply of goods, and reopen it as soon as possible.

Shen Chuo naturally understood what he meant, and even said that he would send someone to say hello to the relevant people, and no one would go to Zhou Lin's Shijin Pavilion to make trouble in the future.After Zhou Lin smiled and said a few words of thanks, he really took his leave and left.

And when his figure left the courtyard gate, Shen Chuo immediately waved Shen Jin forward, and commanded in a deep voice: "Go and find out the details of Zhou Lin and all the people you have come into contact with on weekdays." Check it out for me. Be quick."

Shen Jin agreed, and retreated with lowered hands.

Shen Chuofu looked down at the two pieces of paper in his hand again, put one hand on the table, slightly bent his index finger, and slowly tapped the smooth table.

The words written on these two pieces of paper are all written in Zanhua Xiaokai, which is clear and graceful, and it is clearly written by a woman.

Could it be that the person behind Zhou Lin who advised him was a woman?
