Chapter 336: The Kind-Hearted Fanglan Xiufang?
"Buy a stake in the store? The whole store?" Qin Wanru raised her eyebrows and asked in surprise.
The so-called store shareholding means merging the previous store. If it is an entire store, the entire store will be merged together, and the proceeds will be shared with Dieyi Zhai.
But if the entire store is not a shareholder, the income from the share purchase still has to be merged into Dieyi Zhai.
This kind of thing is actually very rare. Even those who can afford to invest in a store are all larger stores with good profits. Although Dieyi Zhai looks very good now, the store must be small after all. It only has a foothold in Beijing. Who can I don’t know how long this shop can last, so I used the original shop in Jingzhong to invest in stocks. The risk is so great that it's almost impossible to do it.
"It's the entire store. The store is not small. My subordinates went to see it and asked people to check the accounts. They found that there was a profit in the accounts. The income is pretty good every year!" Aunt Dong said with a smile.
"What kind of shop?" Qin Wanru was not so optimistic. She intuitively felt that there was something going on here and asked immediately.
"Fanglan Embroidery House is an old shop. I heard that our clothing methods are good, and there are many beautiful embroidery and buttoning methods. Their shopkeeper came to discuss with me, saying that their old employer's I mean, using Fanglan Embroidery House as a stock to pay for half of the shares, do you think it’s feasible, Miss Second?"
Aunt Dong asked. In fact, she really felt that she had taken advantage of it, but she also felt that the advantage was too big and a bit false. Originally, she wanted to go into the Qin Mansion to report this matter to Qin Wanru in the past few days. Since Qin Wanru today Coming here will save her a lot of trouble.
The entire shop of Fanglan Embroidery House is larger than Dieyi Zhai, and it is one of the oldest shops in Beijing. Even so, I am still willing to use this shop to buy half of Dieyi Zhai’s shares. Speaking of which, Dieyi Zhai occupies half of the shares. What a bargain.
"Fanglan Xiufang?" Qin Wanru raised her watery eyes, blinked her eyelashes twice, and looked at Aunt Dong almost in disbelief.
"Yes, it's Fanglan Embroidery House. It's just two streets in front of us. It's actually not too far away. If Miss Er is interested, I can accompany you to have a look. We can sneak over and have a look at the operation of that shop. , the customers who come and go, and the ready-to-wear samples they used to have there!”
Aunt Dong stood up as she spoke. This kind of thing cannot be explained by just talking about it. It must be seen with one's own eyes. Aunt Dong thought it would be better to take the second lady to see it.
"No need!" Qin Wanru waved her hand, motioning for her to sit down, and then said slowly, "No need to go, I know this embroidery shop and have visited it before!"
A pair of watery eyes were so deep that it was almost impossible to see the bottom, and he sneered in his heart. What a coincidence, he unexpectedly met Fanglan embroidery shop again. He was originally looking for this embroidery shop, but unexpectedly he took the initiative to bump into it!
What a coincidence, but what a coincidence!
"Really, that would be great. Second Miss, what do you think?" Aunt Dong said excitedly. Since Second Miss has already seen it, she must know that the business of that shop is very good. She really hopes that It would be very beneficial to Dieyi Zhai if the shop was expanded and the two companies held shares in each other.
When I first arrived, I didn’t know the pros and cons. The current prosperity did not mean long-term prosperity. With Fanglan Embroidery House as a guarantee, Aunt Dong felt that at least the source of customers was guaranteed, and there would be no shortage of funds or stalls. The business was so good, and in Beijing How could a store that has been established in China for so long say it is short of funds?
"Have you ever asked who his boss is?" Qin Wanru said softly, her eyes watery.
"This... they didn't say anything. They only said that their boss was also a powerful family in the capital, but they didn't plan to reveal the name of their boss until the two families officially took shares!" Aunt Dong said in embarrassment.
This kind of thing happens a lot in the capital. Many aristocratic families don't want others to know which shops belong to them. Just like Qin Wanru's Dieyi Zhai, only Aunt Dong is the one who comes forward. Qin Wanru, the owner, never shows up in public. Of course, those who negotiate business with others also told Aunt Dong not to tell anyone about this matter.
"I'm trying to find out more about their boss from their shopkeeper. Just say it's my intention. I want to know more about their background. Otherwise, I'm afraid this matter won't work out!" Qin Wanru said with a smile.
"Put it off first?" Aunt Dong understood what Qin Wanru meant and asked.
"Yes, let's wait and see what's going on. We first arrived in the capital and many things are unclear. Many shops have been around for a long time. Why did this shop directly find a new store like us that just entered the capital? If With their background, even investing in a prosperous old store like that won’t be a problem!”
Qin Wanru said slowly. These words impacted Aunt Dong's sense of sight and hearing, making her feel more and more chilled as she listened. Suddenly she realized that she had thought too well before.
Being attracted by the bright and colorful prospect described by the shopkeeper, I actually forgot many suspicious things, and my body trembled and broke into a cold sweat.
"Second Miss, don't worry, my subordinates will do their best to find out what happened in this shop. No matter how deep the owner of their shop hides it, my subordinates will dig it out!"
Now that Aunt Dong thinks about it, she still feels scared. This condition is too worrying. It is so worrying that even a cautious person like her is very moved. She even lobbied the second lady for this. If the second lady really agreed just now, maybe What a disaster indeed.
Everything is suspicious, and the more Aunt Dong thinks about Fanglan's embroidery house, the more suspicious she becomes.
Seeing that Aunt Dong had understood, Qin Wanru smiled and asked about the store's work, then refused Aunt Dong's offer and walked out with the two maids.
She doesn't want people to find out that this store belongs to her...
Aunt Dong only appeared in the store after Qin Wanru left and walked towards the young lady who was talking to her.
"Is that young lady just now the second lady of General Ningyuan's mansion?" the young lady who was originally talking to her asked curiously.
"Exactly, Miss Qin ordered clothes here before, so she came here specifically to ask." Aunt Dong said with a smile.
"I heard that it was because Miss Qin Er wore your clothes in the palace that the ladies from the aristocratic families in the capital came to order clothes. I thought Miss Qin Er was such a beautiful woman, but now she looks like that!" The pretty lady curled her lips, and although her smile was gentle, her words were a bit unpleasant.
A trace of displeasure flashed in Aunt Dong's eyes, but it was immediately hidden behind a smile: "I don't dare to accept what Miss Shu said. Miss Shu should take a look at this piece of material. I don't know if this pattern is worthy of Miss Shu's vision." ?”
As she spoke, Aunt Dong pointed to a waiter at the top piece of material placed on the counter. It was beautifully packaged and placed in a box. At first glance, it seemed gorgeous and bright, but upon closer inspection, , this color is mainly white and couple colors, and it is gorgeous and elegant. It is the kind that those young ladies in Beijing who are low-key on the surface, but actually want to stand out, like the most.
Aunt Dong has very sharp eyes, and she can already see the characteristics of this young lady's dress at just one glance.
Miss Shu's eyes fell on the piece of brocade, and her eyes lit up. It was obvious that she liked it very much, but she pretended not to care so much. She nodded her chin slightly: "That's it. Remember to follow the pattern I designed." Buttons and embroidery.”
"Yes, Miss Shu, don't worry, I will definitely follow your ideas!" Aunt Dong said with a smile.
Miss Shu was quite satisfied with Aunt Dong's accompanying her throughout the whole process. She nodded immediately, turned around and left with the maid...
Qin Wanru didn't know that someone actually recognized her. She was on the carriage. After making several turns, Qin Wanru arrived at the entrance of a relatively remote yard.
Yujie recognized the number at the door. It was indeed yes, so she went to knock on the door.
After a while, footsteps were heard from the door, followed by a man's deep voice: "Who is it?"
Upon hearing this familiar voice, Qu Le's eyes turned red, and he rushed to the door and said loudly: "Father, I am Qu Le, and I am here to see you!"
There seemed to be silence inside the door, and then there was a hurried sound of opening the door. The door opened with a "crash". Qu Le's father stood at the door with an excited expression, but then his eyes turned to Yu Jie, his eyes The color became fierce.
"Father! Our second young lady is in the carriage!" Qu Le hurriedly explained after stepping forward and bowing.
"Miss is here?" Qu Le's father was stunned at first, then overjoyed, and even felt like crying with joy. He stepped aside and wiped the corners of his eyes respectfully.
Yu Jie turned around and helped Qin Wan out of the carriage, and the group walked out the door. After everyone had entered, Qu Le's father looked around warily before closing the door.
Qin Wanru didn't sit down until he reached the main room. Qu Le's father had already entered the door, knelt down in front of Qin Wanru with a plop and said: "Miss, this servant is... the prince's servant..."
At this point, his voice was choked with sobs, and he couldn't even finish his words.
Seeing his father kneel down, Qu Le also knelt down behind him.
"You...get up!" Qin Wanru sighed and stretched out her hand to give a slight support.
"Miss, I have finally found you. It's just that I'm stupid. I've been in Jiangzhou for so many years and I didn't discover your true identity. I deserve death!"
Qule's father did not stand up directly, but still knelt and cried.
"This... I can't blame you. Get up and sit down first. I have something to ask you!" Qin Wanru said softly, while letting Qule help her father up.
Qu Le stood up and reached out to hold his father's hand, asking him to stand up. Qin Wanru motioned for him to sit aside, but he was unwilling to die, so he had to let him.
"How do you know my identity?" After he stood aside, Qin Wanru asked slowly, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.
"Since the young lady left, it has been spread that the young lady is not the biological daughter of General Ning Yuan. Some speculations about the young lady's life experience have also been faintly spread from some people's mouths. Only then did the servants notice the young lady, and then secretly After inquiring about some of General Ning Yuan’s former subordinates, I discovered that the young lady is the person I’m looking for!”
"The young lady is the daughter of the crown prince and the princess! The servant was about to enter the capital, and suddenly the young lady sent someone to look for the servant! Then the servant followed the people into the capital and stayed here waiting for the young lady to come!"
Qu Le's father wiped away his tears and said that he had not left the Jiangzhou area for so many years because Jiangzhou was close to the border. He heard that a large number of refugees had moved to Jiangzhou at that time. He had gone to many places to look for it, but... He never thought that General Ning Yuan’s daughter would be the person he was looking for.
The dust was under the lamp, but I never found it...
