Chapter 32 Zhou Family Industry
Dayuan Kyoto, a city of tides.Prosperous area, nine roads and three cities, eight streets and nine streets, cars and horses like dragons, the capital of Dayuan.Its prosperous faction is worthy of the name of the capital.Xieyang Restaurant is located in this place where every inch of land is precious, and it is one of the ancestral businesses of the Zhou family.
Zhou's family has a vast range of businesses, and there are only three ancestral businesses, Xieyang Restaurant, Baiyetang, and Zhou's Grain Depot, all of which are time-honored businesses.It is all about stabilizing the spoon in this land where every inch of land is precious.Its word-of-mouth and its reputation can even be reported by a three-year-old child from a foreign country.
Originally, this Xieyang Tower should belong to Zhou Hexuan, but at that time Zhou Hexuan thought of his brotherhood with Zhou Yuqi, and insisted on handing over this coveted property to Zhou Yuqi.How can the old lady agree?Only Zhou Yuqi will temporarily manage the restaurant.Zhou Jinyu manages most of the properties, Baicaotang and Zhou's Grain Depot.Zhou Jinyu asked Zhou Hexuan to try running the grain shop.At that time, he was dandy and arrogant, so he couldn't listen to what other people had to say.
Zhou Jinyu would not let Hexuan play around with his ancestral property as a joke.The two naturally quarreled, and Hou Hexuan was reluctant to step into Zhou's Grain Shop ever since.Throw all this huge property to Jin Yu.But he is an insatiable junkie, spending money all the time, just for Du Ruo's favor, and he is spending money like paper.
As expected by Zhou Hexuan, Zhou Yuqi invited Zhou Hexuan to Xieyang Restaurant that day.Zhou Hexuan sneered in his heart, how could Zhou Yuqi succeed this time.
Zhou Hexuan raised his head and looked up at the top with deep eyes, flying vertically and horizontally, penetrating the Xieyanglou plaque on the back of the paper, his mind was spinning.
Seeing Hexuan blocking the door, the Xiao Er in the [-]th wanted to drink it, but seeing his extraordinary clothes, he wanted to hold back the words he had blurted out, and said with a flattering smile: "This young master, stand at the door. What are you doing, come in and take a look. Our wine shop here is the best one in Chaozhou City, it is a time-honored brand, and its reputation is excellent among neighbors."
Zhou Hexuan looked at Xiao Er with a dark face, his face was unfamiliar, he should be a newcomer not long ago.It was extremely funny in my heart, being recognized as a customer by my waiter in my restaurant.There is nothing less than irony.
Zhou Yuqi's eyes were sharp. When he saw Zhou Hexuan, he stepped forward and said with a gentle smile, "Second brother, let's go upstairs."
The two went straight upstairs to Wenyuan Room.That Xiao Er, with a pale face, stared blankly at Zhou Hexuan's figure going up to the second floor.He accidentally offended the Lord.
After the two sat down, Zhou Hexuan asked with a puzzled expression: "Brother Yu, why did you call me here? Do you need to do it again?"
Zhou Yuqi filled Zhou Hexuan's teacup with tea, but didn't answer directly, and said seriously, "Second Brother, do you know that there was a drought in Dayuan South this year."
He Xuan looked at Zhou Yuqi in surprise, and said in amazement: "Drought? How is it possible? Dayuan has never heard of a drought for decades. How could there be a drought when the weather is favorable. I have never heard of a drought."
Zhou Yuqi also had a gloomy face, and couldn't bear to say: "Second brother is right, there is indeed no rumor about the drought. But this matter has been spread privately in Chaozhou City. I only heard about it in the past few days .”
After hearing this, Hexuan seemed to have nothing to do with himself, lacked interest, and said in a low, penetrating voice: "So what, even if there is a drought in the south, it has nothing to do with Chaozhou City. There is no drought, Whatever it is."
Zhou Yuqi's eyes flashed, and he was calculating in his heart. Seeing Zhou Hexuan's playful appearance, he immediately hated him, and said on the face as usual: "Second brother, you can't talk nonsense, if outsiders listen to it, maybe it's some kind of gossip. Qi thinks that the drought this time is very likely to be true. And recently some officers and soldiers are collecting grain. The drought was not made public in time. I think the government is afraid of causing panic among the people. It is not conducive to grain collection. It is also to prevent grain dealers from driving up prices. profiteering."
Zhou Hexuan looked up at him and said nothing.Waiting for Zhou Yuqi to continue speaking.
Zhou Yuqi, aren't you in a hurry to speak? He paused for a moment, and finally said slowly: "Our Zhou family's grain store is the largest grain store in Chaozhou City. The other small grain stores can't stock much grain."
Zhou Hexuan mocked in his heart, this matter is really the same as in his previous life.Ya Ge was silent for a moment, and finally He Xuan said uncertainly: "Brother Yu, you mean to buy rice at a low price, hoard it in large quantities, and then sell it at a high price?"
Zhou Yuqi nodded, and said, "A businessman is a businessman who does not come first, so my eldest brother must be opposed to this matter. What do you think, second brother?"
Zhou Hexuan looked thoughtful, frowned and said, "This is an opportunity, but isn't it immoral?"
Zhou Yuqi struggled, and said embarrassingly: "Second brother, even if our Zhou family doesn't do this, the other grain shops are the same, and their behavior is even worse. It's not uncommon to drive up prices. My little brother thought that if we The Zhou family has a lot of food, and it may be better than other merchants. Our Zhou family can still do what we can."
Zhou Hexuan made a look of heartbeat and hesitation.
Zhou Yuqi was delighted to hear it, so he struck while the iron was hot, and then said: "Besides, there are businessmen in the south who inquired about the situation of the grain shops in the north. If we want to find someone to cooperate with, if we find them to cooperate, this way, we can save various taxes and expenses, and we can Lowering the price is also a good thing for those facing the drought. Although the price of Zhou’s grain is a little higher than before, it is already low compared to other grain shops.”
Zhou Hexuan was completely moved, and said uncertainly: "If it is true that grain is stored, this matter will definitely not satisfy the elder brother, so what will we say then?"
Zhou Yuqi said: "Brother will never agree with our actions, and he must not tell him the truth. The action must not be too big, try not to let him know, if he is suspicious, let him know that there are merchants who want a lot Just order it."
"Then, the cooperative merchant?"
"I met that person before, and we talked about it a little bit. The second brother will meet with that person tomorrow, and I don't understand many of the details."
Zhou Hexuan sneered in his heart, how could he believe such words in his previous life, if Zhou Yuqi hadn't planned it early, how could he have met the merchant before him.Tell yourself about the drought again?
Before Zhou Hexuan left, he saw the little girl who mistook him for a customer before, and smiled slowly, but the smile didn't reach his eyes.
Knowing that he had been away for a long time, the little girl was so frightened by Zhou Hexuan's appearance for a long time that she didn't let go, thinking that this time she really offended the master.
Zhou Hexuan tried his best to recall all the details of his previous life.Merchants, drought, rice prices, and all kinds of events that caught him off guard.
Zhou Hexuan's eyes froze, and his movements were sharp and determined to restrain him with his backhand.The man didn't think about why Zhou Hexuan's action was so sudden, he almost scolded his father because of the pain.
"Zhou Hexuan, see the person clearly. Quick, let go quickly." The man called.
He Xuan let go of him, and said without any apology: "Don't be behind my back, I can't help it."
The man moved his shoulders and said, "This temper has not changed at all."
Zhou Hexuan's complexion was not as stiff as before, and he eased a lot, and said lightly: "Chu Zhiyao, you have something to do."
Chu Zhiyao pulled him to the nearest tea shop, sat down slowly, and said very viciously and curiously: "I heard that you divorced the Deng family?"
"And leave."
Chu Zhiyao rolled his eyes: "Come on, Heli, that's nice to say, I heard that the Hua Kui Limeng was kicked out by you a while ago."
"She's willing to leave herself."
Chu Zhiyao clicked his tongue a few times, looked around at Zhou Hexuan in front of him, and said inadvertently, "Why do I think that Hexuan is a little different?"
Zhou Hexuan's heart tightened.
Chu Zhiyao continued: "I feel a lot wiser."
Zhou Hexuan glanced over lightly, and said coldly: "Brother Chu, don't tell me, I was very dull in the past."
"I didn't." Chu Zhiyao quickly waved his hands and said: "Zhiyao didn't say such a thing, what I said is a compliment, I praise you."
Zhou Hexuan smiled unconsciously.No words.Chu Zhiyao can be regarded as one of the few close friends of his.But before that, the two of them gradually alienated because of Yuqi's deliberate provocation.It's a lot better to be able to chat leisurely together now.
Chu Zhiyao felt that the relationship between the two of them had a tendency to return to the past, and felt that today's unintentional move was very wise.Said: "Yesterday, the two of us in Dongfang saw you and the twins in the market. Aren't you the one who looks better? It seems different yesterday."
Thinking of Zhong Yu's actions yesterday, Zhou Hexuan smiled even better.Although I don't know why Zhong Yu suddenly got into an argument like Du Ruo, but He Xuanshi is very happy to hear about it.
Zhou Hexuan said slowly: "What's the difference?"
Chu Zhiyao said: "Zhou Hexuan, what you said is outrageous. It wasn't that you wanted someone called Du Ruo if you wanted to die."
Seeing his old friend, Zhou Hexuan relaxed, and said meaningfully: "I like that person, but I haven't changed."
Chu Zhiyao looked at Zhou Hexuan in surprise, he seemed to know something.
