Quick Wear: Male supporting role, come to my arms quickly

Chapter 440 Ancient Business Manual 15

Chu Yuan took the silver ingot with a smile and bowed deeply in the direction of Shang Jinhe: "Thank you very much, young master, for your kindness and for once again helping me out of my urgent need."

"Urgent matter? I see your business is pretty good here, isn't it? What difficulties have you encountered?"

Chu Yuan frowned slightly: "It's not a difficult thing, I just want to open a shop selling other food, but I have no funds, so I can't take action."

Other food? The snacks and drinks sold here are already something Shang Jinhe has never heard of. If she opens another shop, I wonder what new things this young lady will come up with.

He had to admit that his interest was somewhat piqued.

"Tell me about it. If your idea is good, I can support you again."

I took the bait! Chu Yuan suppressed the joy in her heart and showed a conflicted look: "Absolutely not, Master, you have helped me a lot, how can I accept your money again."

You still have to be polite. Although I originally had this idea in mind, sometimes it is not good to be too straightforward.

"Tsk, what a hassle." Shang Jinhe was puzzled by Chu Yuan's refusal. Are there still people who don't want money these days?

He rummaged in his pockets and took out several fifty-liang silver notes and placed them in front of Chu Yuan: "Take them. When your new store opens, you can treat me to a few meals."

Chu Yuan was somewhat flattered, but she really didn't want to accept so much money for nothing, so she could only propose a compromise: "If the young master doesn't mind, how about considering this money as a share of my business?"

"Buy shares?"

"Yes, to put it simply, you pay the money, and I give you ideas and recipes. We will work together to open a store, and when we make a profit, we will split it in a 50-50 ratio. How about that?"

It’s a good idea. Although Shang Jinhe did not inherit the family property, he was born into a merchant family after all, so he has some insights into doing business.

So he readily agreed to Chu Yuan's proposal: "Okay, let's do as you say. I will invest in your business."

In a corner where Shang Jinhe couldn't see, Chu Yuan showed a triumphant smile.

What's the use of just asking for money? What she wants are connections!

If she wanted to invade the commercial market of Dugu Town, she had to find a strong partner. Otherwise, before her business could grow bigger and stronger, she would be suppressed by the merchants in the town.

And now that Shang Jinhe has been brought in to take the blame, he believes that his title as the eldest son of the Shang family can help Chu Yuan withstand many storms.

Moreover, this partner seems to be the type who only pays money and does not do anything, and is very easy to fool. It is simply perfect.

After finalizing this matter, Chu Yuan began to make preparations. She first found a realtor and looked for stores in the town for several days.

Nowadays, she is very picky when renting a shop. She doesn’t want those with bad location, small area, or bad layout. Anyway, she has a financial sponsor now, and Shang Jinhe has plenty of money.

However, she visited several brokerage shops and walked around several of the busier streets in Dugu Town, but still couldn't find the shop she wanted.

"What's wrong? I saw you sighing here as soon as I came in."

When the sponsor came, Chu Yuan immediately put on a smiling face: "Master Shang! How come you have time to come to my shop today?"

Shang Jinhe felt a little embarrassed by her burning gaze, and slightly turned his head to avoid her gaze: "Aren't you here to see how your new store is going? I paid for it, so why can't I come to inspect it?"

Chu Yuan immediately pulled open a stool and asked him to sit down: "Yes, yes, of course! Mr. Shang's presence really makes our little shop shine!"

"Heh, this is the first time I've seen a woman as good at flattering as you. Tell me, what do you need my help with?"

Chu Yuan was surprised to find that recently this young master no longer called himself "young master" when talking to others, and the servant who loved to gossip the most beside him had not appeared since the last time.

"Master Shang, where is the servant that always follows you? Why do you appear alone lately?"

Shang Jinhe waved his hand nonchalantly: "You are talking about Shitou. He always said things I didn't like to hear, so I reported it to my father and sold him off."

Chu Yuan silently gave him a thumbs up. It was true that fools have good fortune. He had successfully removed the biggest thorn around him.

"Aren't you talking about the new store? Why are you starting to care about the servant next to me?"

Chu Yuan came back to his senses and put on the worried look he had at the beginning. The speed at which his expression changed made Shang Jinhe standing beside him stunned.

"Sir, you may not know that I have searched almost all of Dugu Town these days, but I still can't find a suitable shop."

Shang Jinhe crossed his arms and leaned back in his chair: "Shops? I have plenty of them at home. Just tell me what kind you want and I'll go find it for you in my father's box of land deeds."

As expected of the wealthy young master of the Shang family, Chu Yuan took advantage of the situation and immediately stated his ideal shop conditions.

This time she is planning to open a hotpot restaurant, so the store must be large, and it would be best if it was originally in the catering business, so that it does not require too much effort to redecorate.

As for the geographical location, it would be best if it was located in the central area of ​​Dugu Town, just like restaurants in later generations are generally opened in shopping malls, so that customers who are tired of shopping can come in to rest and have a meal.

After stating all the conditions, Shang Jinhe felt a little worried for a moment: "You have quite a lot of requirements. Well, I'll go back and look for them for you."

Seeing him about to leave, Chu Yuan stood up and packed a few desserts, "Master Shang, take care. You can take these desserts back with you."

Shang Jinhe's mouth curled up unconsciously. He reached out and took the oil paper bag handed over by Chu Yuan: "Don't worry, I will definitely get it done for you. At worst, I will ask my father to help find out."

In this way, the location of the shop was solved. Chu Yuan coaxed the arrogant young master away and began to busy himself with other things needed to open a hot pot restaurant.

First, you have to go to the blacksmith shop to order a batch of pots, including four-grid, mandarin duck, and old-fashioned copper pots to cater to the tastes of different customers.

Just as Chu Yuan was preparing for the opening of a hot pot restaurant step by step, the matter of the shop was also settled.

Two days later, Shang Jinhe appeared in Xinyuan Beverage Shop again. He stopped Shunzi who was cleaning the table and asked, "Where is your boss?"

Shunzi scratched his head and said, "Isn't the boss sitting right there? Look, he's the one collecting money at the door."

He was talking about Chu's father. As the head of the family, Chu's father could indeed be regarded as the owner of this beverage shop, but Shang Jinhe was looking for Chu Yuan.

It was at this time that he realized that after knowing her for so long and handing over all his money, he still didn't know her name.

"I'm talking about the young female boss. Where is she?"

Shunzi suddenly realized: "You are talking about our boss's daughter, right? She went out to buy something and will be back soon."
