Chapter 93 Business Expansion Strategies
Liang Yimei rolled her eyes and said: "Before I came to Beijing, Brother Xu also complained that the money he sent was refunded. Since everyone wants to help him, why don't we all come to do business together. It's better to make money faster. After earning enough money after the palace examination, brother Zheng is a three-yuan grade, at this time, as long as someone mentions it a little bit, someone will naturally follow, as long as you have money, you don't have to worry about making connections."

Shang Zhiqing nodded her forehead and said: "How can there be such a good business? You can make enough money in just two months, and there are costs to do business. Ah, I will never say, except for you and Runxin, even me I can't get the money out."

Liang Yimei disdainfully said: "Then the one with the lowest earning cost will be the one?" The old god Liang Yilin was drinking tea, and he had already guessed what his sister was going to do.

Liang Yimei's eyes sparkled and she said: "I've wanted to do this for a long time, but it doesn't matter that brother Xu and I are in the north, and you can't be your own master, so you have been enduring it for the past few years. Brother Shang still remembers me and Brother Xu Is it the first time Brother Xu opened a store?"

Shang Zhiqing frowned, and Liang Yimei said, "It's 'Duo Le Xuan'." Her eyes flashed brightly, "You only know that wine shops make money, but you never thought that 'Duo Le Xuan' made more money than wine shops. need more."

Shang Zhiqing opened his mouth wide, and Liang Yimei said complacently: "Most of the wine is drunk by men, and only rich men who love to drink drink it. Cakes are eaten by both men and women, no matter the elderly or children. There is a little at home. Anyone with spare money can afford it. Rich and noble people eat it on a daily basis, on birthdays, at banquets, and as gifts... The most important thing is that it is low in cost, as long as some eggs, flour and Milk, sugar, etc... the most expensive ones are probably shops and staff. It’s just that there’s not much to share between the four families, Brother Shang, what do you think?”

Shang Zhiqing bowed his head and remained silent, while Shen Shi was a little surprised. Her husband never talked to her about outside affairs, but looking at the appearance of these people, he seemed to be used to it, and he was a little moved.In the Shang family, all the money has to be handed over to the public, and then divided. Her father-in-law has been the county magistrate for more than ten years, and she doesn't have much money. She also has two sister-in-laws who are married. Sinners are fine. Her husband is a fifth-rank Guanglu Temple Shaoqing, and he is not a fat man. Now the family is mostly supported by the dowry left by her and her mother-in-law, and the dowry of aristocratic women is mostly based on fields. Like her, the shop There are only four rooms, and they are all rented out to collect rent, and they spend a year earning money from the fields...According to what her husband said just now, Miss Liang seems to be very good at making money...

She looked at her husband with some longing, and Shang Zhiqing naturally saw her thoughts, and said with a wry smile: "Even in business, the money earned must be handed over to the public."

Shen's face was slightly angry, thinking of her three daughters, could it be that when they got married, they could only buy dowry with 2000 taels of silver from their father-in-law?He said: "Dafang's third uncle's family has such a big business, and I have never seen him hand over money to the public..." Before she finished speaking, she felt lost, how could she say something wrong about her family in front of outsiders, and she also remembered The three daughters were also afraid that their husbands had taken a fancy to Miss Liang and wanted to take her as a good concubine, and the depression they had suffered for many days broke down.

She looked at her husband with some anxiety, but Shang Zhiqing didn't care. When the four of them were studying together, the four of them had a thorough understanding of the situation in each family. Speaking of the four families, it was the easiest of the A Jue's. Everyone envied for a while.

Liang Yimei's eyes widened, "What's the problem? Let's just say that my sister-in-law used her dowry to do business with others. Don't tell me your Shang family still wants to take away your daughter-in-law's dowry?"

Shen was stunned, and Shang Zhiqing was also speechless for a moment. His father was a Fangzheng man, and he left Quanzhou because he couldn't stand the family. He would rather be a county magistrate there for more than ten years than stay in Beijing. , he was influenced by his father, and he was strict in doing things. Later, he met Zheng Jue, who was like a fox, and Xu Runxin, who was jumpy, and Liang Yimu and Liang Yilin who met later. Not much is known about this kind of thing.

Liang Yilin patted him on the shoulder and said: "You can only be an official, how can you do business? How can you understand these twists and turns? That is my sister, even if she has no money, she can squeeze out money, let alone It’s still the money she earned, and I’m afraid no one can squeeze money out of her hands except Brother Xu.” He thought it was funny when Xu Runxin acted like a baby to his sister who was several years younger than him.

Liang Yimei said disdainfully: "Brother Shang was protected too well by Uncle Shang. Who in the Beijing family didn't do this?" Turning to ask Shen, "Sister-in-law, don't you know?" Shen probably didn't So simple, right?

Of course Shen knew it, but if she cared about it, she would be confused. She forgot it just now, so of course she couldn't say that, so she lowered her head and said, "I thought of doing it in the name of my husband, but I forgot about it."

Hearing what she said, Liang Yimei took a closer look at her, and saw that her face was flushed, as if she was really ashamed. In addition, Shen's face was small, and the youngest daughter's attitude was revealed all of a sudden, Liang Yimei thought of Liang Yilin It was said that she gave birth to three daughters, and Shang Zhiqing's two intermediaries did not give birth to sons. She felt that she might be so worried because of her lack of confidence, and she softened her heart a little bit.

Liang Yimei said: "Brother Shang, do you agree?"

Shang Zhiqing nodded and said: "Then we still took advantage, why didn't we agree?"

Liang Yimei smiled and said: "Then I will write to Brother Xu and ask him to send a few people over, but we have to find the shop first, and the cows, and other things are easy to find, but these two things are hard to find. It's raised in one place, it's spring now, and there are few people selling shops," he turned to Shen and said, "Does my sister-in-law have a shop in Beijing?"

Shen smiled and said, "There are four rooms."

But Liang Yilin interrupted: "Even so, if Mister doesn't agree, Big Brother Zheng won't buy the shares. We have to find a way to convince Mister."

Liang Yimei choked, and said angrily: "It's true of you, four big men can't handle an old man!" The two choked and dared not speak anymore, Liang Yimei thought for a while and said: "Leave this matter to me, But we can’t wait for Quanzhou’s reply to start, we will do it here first, and we can open the business when we get the exact letter, I will pay the money from Brother Zheng and Brother Xu, and then they will return it to me.”

Liang Yilin said worriedly: "I remember you made an agreement with the Xu family at the beginning. You provide the technology and ideas, and the Xu family contributes the money. You will share [-]/[-]. It is agreed that you can no longer tell others how to make cakes."

Liang Yimei said with a smile: "That was agreed between Yan Lao and me later, he wanted to plot against me, but I also agreed with Brother Xu, that kind of situation is only limited to the south, and I have the final say when it comes to the north, but, I don’t want to take care of the pastry shop, so this time Brother Xu’s people will manage the shop, but Brother Shang will help out at critical times.” This refers to when someone makes trouble.

Shang Zhiqing and Liang Yilin looked at each other. Among the four, only Xu Runxin was devoted to business. Xiao Meizi didn't let them intervene, not even herself, because she didn't want them to be caught by the censor and not let them get involved. It's for Xu Runxin.As long as Xu Runxin can gain a firm foothold in the north through this store, other businesses can also infiltrate into the north one after another.

Shang Zhiqing said with emotion: "It's better for Runxin, you used to be the best for Ah Jue, but now you are the best for Runxin."

Liang Yimei said: "When did I treat you badly?"

Shang Zhiqing quickly laughed and said, "Isn't that the comparison between the three of you?"

"Then why don't you drag my elder brother and second brother into the competition?"

Shang Zhiqing rubbed his nose, this is something he learned from Xu Run, "Is there still a need to compare?"

Liang Yilin was laughing at the side, and Shen's heart was completely relieved. Hearing this, it seemed that her husband and others regarded Miss Liang as a younger sister.After that, Shen treated Liang Yimei like a sister-in-law, without the previous temptation, and the conversation just now made the two of them understand each other better, and they got along harmoniously afterwards.

Because Liang Yimei promised to help convince Zheng Shanzhang, Shang Zhiqing and Liang Yilin let go of some worries and began to eat and drink. After Liang Yimei and Shen Shi started chatting all over the world, they realized that she had also read many travel notes and followed her father when she was young. Having worked abroad, she has seen and heard about mountains and rivers everywhere, Liang Yimei and her talked more and more speculatively.

Thinking that the two of them would discuss the opening of the store in the future, they smiled and said, "Sister-in-law will definitely come to visit me in a few days, and it's best to bring my nieces along."

Shen put aside her concern for her, and also liked Liang Yimei's straightforwardness, and said: "Okay, it's not difficult for me to come out, but I can't just go to your place to play, you should also come to my house."

A trace of worry flashed across Liang Yimei's eyes, and she replied with a smile, "Definitely."

The few people talked happily, but there was a sudden "bang" outside, and the whole private room shook. Liang Yimei's first feeling was "an earthquake!" But immediately there were earth-shattering shouts, cries and Scolding!There was a lot of confusion, several people looked at each other, Shang Zhiqing said: "You wait here, I will go out and have a look."

Liang Yilin stood up and said, "I will accompany you."

Shen Shi became nervous, and a pale maid rushed in from outside, she ran to Shen Shi and said: "Grandma Seven, Master Qi asked the servants to come and accompany you."

Shen looked outside and said: "Qing Liu, you came in from the outside, do you know what happened?"

Qingliu shook her head in fear and said: "I was sitting outside eating with a few little maids, and suddenly a person fell from the third floor, and then another person flew out. People, everyone started fighting without saying a word."

Speaking of this, she shrank her shoulders in fear, "The person who fell earlier made a lot of noise, don't you know if he's still alive?"

Shen murmured: "Who is so courageous to make trouble in King Zhao's Yuwei Zhai?"
