Chapter 355: Small Business

"So soon find a good shop?" After a day of busy life, Ye Tao returned to the small yard. He was greeted by Tan Weixin's kind and gentle smile. Do you have to do these things like finding shops to open? In the eyes of others, it is a small question. The main reason is that Tan Weixin and Ye Tao both think that since they come out like this, it is really a loss to not experience life well. Although it is a bit tiring, and although they have to look at other people's faces during negotiations, Ye Tao is not a person who is arrogant to the point of being so arrogant. He just feels that fighting with others is endless and does not feel hard at all.

"Well, in Fenglian Lane, just behind Liubu Street, it is a good place. The price of this place is really undecided, and it cost more than 7,000 taels of silver. Moreover, it seems that the one who built a small shop is a little bigger than what we said in advance. However, a guy appeared and saw that we bought the place, and he felt it was too big, so he gathered together. I rented the backyard of the shop to that guy. I turned around and asked someone to raise a wall and separate it on both sides, so I didn't disturb each other." Ye Tao laughed and recounted the results of the day of running around today.

"Oh? Who is that guy from?" Tan Weixin knew that if it was not necessary, Ye Tao would rather leave that part empty or use it for other purposes than sublet it out.

"It's a businessman from Chunnan. Now that the two countries are fighting, he has to change from a businessman to a local trader. Fortunately, Xiling has learned his lesson now and dares not eliminate the merchants of the enemy country casually. As long as he doesn't commit any crime, he will survive. He needs a convenient place to run business. That guy is from Jinyuan Business." Ye Tao said with a smile.

"What a coincidence." Tan Weixin also laughed. Jinyuan Business is one of the key points of their return to Chunnan to research. Although Jinyuan Business is not the largest business in the Chen family's industry, it is the one that Tan Weixin finds the most difficult to control. The main reason is that the business scope of this business is too wide. Jinyuan Business is the kind of business that has been engaged in cross-border trade and freight. They have fixed suppliers and supply targets, as well as random supply organizations, but basically all sales targets are in Chunnan. Although the profit of each business is due to the loss of long-distance transportation, the profit can be said to be meager. Sometimes the supply of temporary organizations may even lose a little.

But it cannot withstand the durability and stability of their business model. In each aspect, there are always several major agents responsible for market operations, responsible for the procurement and transportation of goods in a certain place. Apart from the headquarters of Jinyuan Business, these people scattered in various places are the most precious wealth of Jinyuan Business. As long as these people are there, relying on a strong adaptation system, Jinyuan Business can make a comeback at any time even if the headquarters is not available. The agents located in various parts of the mainland have different backgrounds, some are sent from Chunnan headquarters, some are full-time agents, while others have their own other industries and are in charge of Jinyuan Business Business's business. Anyway, no matter who it is, it takes some time to figure out this system.

The one Ye Tao encountered was also considered the person in charge of Xiling's business activities. However, suddenly he wanted to change from cross-border trade to local business, which made the businessman named Xiao Xingyuan a little confused. And just when he was blind, he actually bumped into Ye Tao. Ye Tao's style of talking about business was not just a price reduction. When buying all the floors of the shop, Ye Tao only pressed the price below his psychological price. In fact, this was considered artificial

Ye Tao and the others brought enough money, and the silver notes they carried were 3 million taels. However, after reaching the price, Ye Tao persuaded the other party to write a series of other conditions into the transaction documents. The person who sold the house had to bear the cost of one maintenance and the cost of thoroughly cleaning the store. This negotiation method in which both parties got their own part made Xiao Xingyuan feel a little fond of. Later, Xiao Xingyuan and Ye Tao became business neighbors, and they had to come and go frequently.

"What about tomorrow? What are you going to do tomorrow?" Tan Weixin asked about Ye Tao's arrangements. Although she is a senior economist, she is not very good at doing business practices. She is only good at numbers, concepts and methods.

Ye Tao thought for a while and said, "I have to find another shop. The group of people in the special camp are idle now in Anqing, which is not a solution. Moreover, it is a good opportunity to do big business."

"Big deal?" Tan Weixin said with a smile: "What business have you thought of again?"

"When chatting with Xiao Xingyuan, he talked about something. In Anqing, the Xiling court had three treasuries in total. One was the most important national treasury located in the royal palace. One was the civil treasury in Xicheng, and the other was the permanent treasury in Nancheng. Actually, I knew this before, but I just went to Nancheng to take a look. The permanent treasury in Nancheng is in the downtown of Nancheng, which is mainly the treasury that accumulates daily fiscal and tax revenue. Although Xiling is now in financial difficulties, the permanent treasury will not move. The main thing is that there are silver ingots and broken silver of all sizes in the permanent treasury, which is not convenient to deal with conventional large expenses. There are about one million taels of silver piled up there now. This treasury is smelted every year, and it is about three months after the first commercial tax collected every year. During the counting period, it is basically only once every three days. I think... I can actually think about this place."

Ye Tao said something that made Tan Weixin stunned, and then she said with some amusement: "It's only one million taels of silver, it's not harmful to Xiling, and it's not good for us. Is it fun? Why are you a good adult? When you arrive in Anqing, the capital of Xiling, you actually want to be a bandit?"

Ye Tao shook his head and said, "It's not for that one million taels of silver. It's just that little money, I really don't like anything now. But it's really fun. We open a store on the street next door, doing business in an open manner and making money, digging a tunnel underneath and then emptiing it all. Isn't it fun?"

Tan Weixin immediately understood Ye Tao’s idea. He just wanted to plagiarize the movie. Woody Allen’s “Amateur Thief”... The problem is that this time Ye Tao really wanted to steal the money to play with, and he just wanted to have some fun for the soldiers in the special camp.

"So that's the case. Actually, I would rather you make the film technology. Now there's no fun." Tan Weixin sighed.

"Send Zhang Wei, Song Feng, Barrett to the prison and give them a hammer, but they may not be able to chisel it out. The conditions for the downloaded imprisonment are not that good, and there are any privacy or something. However, there are indeed a lot of things that can be copied." Ye Tao also smiled. "I look at them who see that they may earn more than one million taels in a year in business, but the task I gave them is to steal that million taels, what expression should they have."

Tan Weixin nodded and said, "Yeah, it's really interesting. I'll help with this matter too. However, it's not that easy to earn a million taels of money in a small business. What are you going to ask them to sell?"

"Of course, if you want to copy, just copy it, cookies." Ye Tao said with a lip.

Tan Weixin smiled and didn't speak. It's not easy to earn a million taels of time and space by relying on cookies to earn a million taels. However, it's not impossible to mix with other means. Tan Weixin could immediately come up with a lot of ideas in her mind.

"Where is our own shop? You asked me to take the shop, but didn't tell me what to sell." Ye Tao asked.

"We came to Xiling to deal with people. It is best to have a home court. People who deal with each other are all kinds of people, but there are many people with some identities. We, a down-and-out ordinary people, have to have a little style, right?" Tan Weixin teased. "So, how about we open a tea shop? The environment is more elegant, the service is more thoughtful, there are private rooms and rooms. As for the types of tea, it is naturally not those small tea shops. The single black tea green tea Pu'er Oolong, we can make a variety of tricks. For example, those blended tea, flower tea, fruit tea and so on. As for snacks, look at local products to see what can be done. If you are decorating, you always take care of it, but you must not do it yourself. Otherwise, the details of the carved railings and painted buildings will reveal your identity, which is not fun."

Ye Tao smiled embarrassedly and said, "Okay, I won't go play tricks. What is the name of the tea shop? According to our usual naming guidelines, what should I call this time? Is it better to call Yuanyuan Garden, or is it called Yicha Yishou?"

After thinking about it carefully, they decided to call it Yuanyuan Garden. After all, the name of "One Tea and One Sit" is really too modern for this time and space.

In the following days, Ye Tao continued to be busy for the matters on both sides. The soldiers of the special camp usually had projects such as local work during training, and there was no obstacle to digging such a difficult tunnel. However, in the sense of stealing the reserve warehouse, Ye Tao was fooled by Ye Tao. Ye Tao took Zhang Wei and Song Feng and spent one morning to buy two small shops only one street from the Nanshi Tax Office where the reserve warehouse was located, and then began to clean up and prepare to redecorate.

In the afternoon, Ye Tao stayed with Jin Ze, who was named "Xiao Jin", and stayed in the place they bought in Dongcheng. He carefully studied the two-story building, which was only two and a half years old, and was well-maintained, and roughly implemented the decoration plan. Ye Tao did not dare to play too many tricks. The special camp and the people who came to Xiling this time were still from the Ye Family Workshop. In addition, he himself was more than enough to handle the general difficulty of decoration. However, they could not do it themselves. After a little research on the local construction workshops or private contractors in Anqing, Ye Tao was really not confident of playing any tricks. He now knows why Ye Family Construction Bank is such a high-profit institution. His clear pricing strategy is really providing Australian air-carrying lobster services for those merchants who have traveled around the world and suffered enough in this regard.
