Chapter 94: loss-making business

Chapter 94 Losing money trading

Sheng Saburo misunderstood what Hongdou meant, looked at Luo Sheng and frowned and said, "Cousin, is it not good to buy and sell by force?"

The cousin teased a few times when she saw the handsome man. To be honest, being a man has nothing to lose. If it was him, he would be very happy, as long as the cousin took care of the meals.

Buying someone else's shop by force may cut off a person's livelihood, and his conscience can't bear it.

"Buy and sell by force?" Luo Sheng smiled lightly, "Don't worry, cousin, I won't force buy and sell."

Sheng Saburo didn't understand: "Then what if they don't sell it?"

Luo Sheng thought for a while and said, "Then try it."

After she finished speaking, she walked towards the powder shop.

"Cousin, wait." Sheng Saburo hurried to catch up.

As Sheng Sanlang said, the business of this makeup shop is still good. Although it can't reach the point where customers come like a cloud, there are quite a few customers in the shop who are choosing rouge and gouache.

As soon as Luo Sheng entered, the shop was silent.

The shop is located in a place where nobles gather, and it is also the business of these people. Naturally, some customers in the shop can recognize Luo Sheng.

Why did Miss Luo come here?

Could it be that Hua Xiangrong released a new high-grade rouge powder, which attracted the famous girl Luo?

No, they are all old customers. Don’t you know if there is a new product coming out?

There are two well-known makeup shops in Xicheng, but this shop is not well-known, so in the past, Miss Luo only set foot in it once and never visited again. But those who can do business here are all good people. If you don't recognize the distinguished guests who come to the door next time, you don't have to do it.

The winking female shopkeeper greeted her personally, with a smile on her face: "Miss Luo, please."

Luo Sheng nodded slightly, and walked inside.

Besides, Kouer said: "Our girl wants to pick some rouge and gouache, the shopkeeper will take us to the private room."

All high-end shops will always prepare private rooms for distinguished guests, nothing more than a few, and Hua Xiangrong is no exception.

The female shopkeeper did not have the slightest doubt, and respectfully led Luo Sheng and others into a room.

The fragrance in the house is light and the fragrance is good.

A clever female buddy offered tea, and silently stepped aside.

The female shopkeeper personally brought a tray over and put it on the table, inside which were exquisite porcelain boxes like round cakes.

"These are some of the best rouges in our store, please take a look at them, Miss Luo."

Luo Sheng glanced at it casually, and asked the female shopkeeper: "I don't know who the owner of your store is, but I have a business to discuss."

Talk about business?

The female shopkeeper froze for a moment.

"Why, it's not convenient for the shopkeeper to tell me?" Luo Sheng asked lightly.

The female shopkeeper only smiled dryly.

Miss Luo doesn't dare to offend, so it's true that it's inconvenient to say.

Everyone who does business in this land has a history, and is inextricably linked with officials and nobles.

Luo Sheng looked at the female shopkeeper and smiled: "Does the shopkeeper know who I am?"

"Of course I know, you are Miss Luo."

"Where's my father?"

The female shopkeeper couldn't continue talking, and her face turned pale.

"If I go to ask my father, my father will find out after a search. Why does the shopkeeper do useless work and not please both sides?"

The face of the female shopkeeper was already very ugly.

Luo Sheng's tone became more and more cold: "Okay, you can also ask your boss first, just say that Miss Luo is looking for him to discuss business. Whether he is willing to come forward is his business, why should the shopkeeper make things difficult for himself."

The female shopkeeper let out a sigh of relief.

The female shopkeeper summoned a clerk to whisper a few words, and the clerk left in a hurry.

"Miss Luo, wait a moment."

Luo Sheng nodded.

The female shopkeeper inexplicably felt a lot of pressure, and said with a smile: "Miss Luo, you can take a look at our rouge and gouache."

Anyway, idleness is idleness, it's embarrassing to be so staring.

"Don't read it, just buy it. Red beans—"

Red Dou immediately reached for the purse at his waist, skillfully pinched out a bank note with **** and handed it over: "Is it enough for the shopkeeper to see?"

The shopkeeper took the bank note with both hands and was speechless.

Miss Luo is really the God of Wealth. Would you like to buy this makeup shop and make it your owner?

If so, she is willing to continue to be the shopkeeper!

Luo Sheng drank his tea slowly. After waiting for about half an hour, a woman rushed over.

My wife asked Luo Sheng first when she saw her, and reported her family name: "This old slave is the companion of the second grandmother in Zhao Shangshu's house. Our second grandmother invested some money in this shop. I don't know what business Miss Luo wants to talk about?"

If she hadn't bumped into Miss Luo, this situation would not have been easily revealed to others. But who let Miss Luo's father be in charge of Jinlin Guard? I really want to find out if I can't find it.

Luo Sheng took a sip of tea, and wiped the corners of his lips with a handkerchief.

It turned out that it was opened quietly by the second-granddaughter-in-law of the Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment that I met in the Pingnan Palace.

She knew nothing about the situation in Beijing and China, so she naturally wanted to know more. When she went back that day, she casually asked about the general situation of Zhao Shangshu's family.

Zhao Shangshu has two sons, the two grandsons of the first room are already married, and the grandson of the second room is still young, so when the woman said that she was the second grandma, she knew that she was Zhao Shangshu's second grandson-in-law.

"You can make the decision?" Luo Sheng asked the mother-in-law with a scrutinizing gaze.

The old lady smiled and said: "Second Mistress left the matter to the old slave. If it is really difficult to decide, please forgive me, Miss Luo, and let the old slave go to the Second Mistress for instructions."

"I want to buy this shop."

The mother-in-law suddenly changed her face.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Miss Luo opened her mouth, she would have to ask her master for instructions.

Although the profit of this shop is not too much, the advantage lies in the steady flow of water. After finally opening up the situation in this area, Second Mistress is not willing to let go.

"Ten thousand taels."

The mother-in-law's complexion changed again, her legs softened and she almost knelt down.

Even if the place is prosperous and the shop has a stable source of customers, if it is really sold, it will be equivalent to three thousand taels of silver at most.

Ten thousand taels—this, is this going to kill people with money?

"How?" Luo Sheng looked determined, waiting for the mother-in-law's reply.

The mother-in-law turned thousands of words into one word: "Sell!"

Earn an extra 7,000 taels for nothing, and she can make a decision without asking Second Grandma for instructions.

You must know that such a makeup shop makes only forty taels a month, how many years will it take to earn seven thousand taels.

If the deal goes wrong, Second Mistress will have to kill her.

"Since you are willing to sell, why not choose a date and invite someone to write the contract and go through the formalities of changing the owner of the shop."

The mother-in-law's thousands of words were once again turned into one word: "Success!"

It's just a half day's work wasted, and the deed of the shop has been taken into Hongdou's arms.

Out of the rouge shop, Hongdou smiled and said, "Biao lord, the servant girl is right, there is nothing our girls can't buy."

Sheng Saburo felt a little heavy.

He accidentally heard the female shopkeeper muttering, saying that the store was worth at most three thousand taels in the market, but his cousin bought it for ten thousand taels.

The young man asked worriedly: "Cousin, you won't lose all the dowry if you do business like this?"

If you can’t think of a way to ask for tickets after racking your brains, then use two concise words: Ask for tickets! See you tomorrow.
