Chapter 47 Inspection of Business

The man was really scared by Yu Xiaotian's mistake just now. Seeing that Yu Xiaotian thought it was expensive, he quickly went to Yu Xiaotian's hand to take back the small mirror and put it back in the box.

"Master, if you think it's expensive, forget it. This thing was shipped from Pacific. It takes thousands of miles to get to us. This price is no longer expensive! If you still think it's expensive, you might as well go somewhere else to have a look. Our Fuzhou City is the only one for sale!"

Yu Xiaotian stretched out his hand and pulled the man away, looked at the small mirror, with a strange smile on the corners of his mouth, nodded and said, "How do you know I don't want it? Pack it for me, I want it!"

As soon as the clerk heard this, he became happy again. He quickly nodded and bowed his waist and agreed. He carefully took the small mirror from Yu Xiaotian's hand and put it back in the exquisite wooden box made of Huanghuali. He quickly asked someone to wrap up what Yu Xiaotian wanted and send it to Yu Xiaotian's hand.

Yu Xiaotian didn't need to speak. Manager Li quickly came forward to settle the account. At this time, the shopkeeper found that he actually knew Manager Li and asked with a smile, "Isn't this stewer Li of the Li family? Nice to meet you! Why do you remember coming to the store today?

Manager Li shook his head and smiled, "Now our business name is Mao Shengyuan!" Today, a distinguished guest of our shopkeeper came to have a look and buy something for his family!"

The shopkeeper nodded repeatedly and thanked him, "Thank you for taking care of the business of the small shop. Since you are a friend of the shopkeeper Li, you can't follow the price just said. The small profit of the shop is small, so just give stew manager Li 20 taels cheaper. This is no longer profitable. I hope stewer Li won't laugh!"

After Li said thank you, he settled the account. After a few words of greeting, he left the store with Yu Xiaotian and walked towards Maoshengyuan.

Mao Shengyuan used to be the pavement of the Li family. It is a pavement with five rooms on the street, and there is a yard behind it. It is a slightly larger shop in Fuzhou City.

The shop is mainly engaged in some things from Guangdong, and is also mixed with some specialties from mud, Manila and other places, as well as some Jiangsu and Zhejiang silk, which is equivalent to wholesale and retail. The business is quite good, and many guests come and go to the store to talk about business.

Li Yi used to arrange a stewor to take care of the business here. Now Li Yi has come here in person, but he does not come forward and sits in the backyard waiting for Yu Xiaotian's arrival.

There are seven or eight clerks in the shop who greet business in the shop. Now there are two people selected from Nanri Island. These two descendants are very smart guys, not old, and relatively down-to-earth and steady, so they are specially selected to work in the lush source of Fuzhou City.

In fact, their main job is for Yu Xiaotian to watch the limelight in Fuzhou City, inquire about the news of all parties, and then regularly send the news back to Nanri Island. To put it bluntly, they are not guys, but sea wolf intelligence personnel.

Seeing Yu Xiaotian enter the store, the two guys who came from Nanri Island were surprised. They habitually wanted to show Yu Xiaotian a gift, but after being stunned for a moment, they quickly turned their heads and pretended not to know Yu Xiaotian and did not know what they should do.

Yu Xiaotian nodded secretly and expressed his satisfaction with the performance of the two men. If he were a fool, he would have exposed his identity.

Under the leadership of stewor Li, Yu Xiaotian only took a brief look at the situation of the store and found that many goods were actually supplied by him here. This lush source was actually a place for selling stolen goods. There were actually several barrels of whale oil, which were sold in the store under the name of Jiao oil.

And after the price of whale oil has been renamed Jiao oil, the price is quite low. Some people deliberately say that this kind of Jiao oil can cure diseases and only the rich can suffer.

After Yu Xiaotian looked at it, he shook his head. Speaking of, there are a lot of goods here, but except for whale oil, they basically snatched it. Now that they do business, it is not a long-term solution to rely on grabbing in the future. At present, the most important thing for him is that he must have his own fist products, and it is best to monopolize the market. Products, in this way, the business of Maoshengyuan will be easier to do.

Relying on the north and south to reverse the goods and make some price differences. After all, such a business has more competitors and relatively small profit margins. If all rely on grabbing, it cannot guarantee the supply of goods, so this time he also discussed with Li Yi about the next business.

Li Yi heard that Yu Xiaotian had arrived, so he walked out of the inner courtyard in three steps and two steps, still commensurate with the shopkeeper, and will welcome Xiaotian into the backyard.

The back yard of this pavement is relatively large and is divided into three entrances. Relying on the pavement is a place for the clerks to rest and live and eat. The scattered goods are also stored here. The second entrance is a place where the account manager and the stewender live and treat guests. It is clean and elegantly decorated. There is also a kind of small courtyard. The last entry of some flowers and plants belongs to the warehouse, which is the place where the goods are stored and specially arranged to be taken care of.

Yu Xiaotian followed Li Yi into the second courtyard. Li Yi waved the idle people in the yard and immediately left the yard, leaving only several guards such as steward Li and Liu Wang left in the second courtyard.

After Li Yi asked Yu Xiaotian to sit down, she ordered Steer Li to arrange the wine and dishes. At this time, Yu Xiaotian saw a beautiful shadow flashing at the door. Ting Ting came to him and bent her knees to salute him, "Xiu'er has seen the master!"

It turned out that since Yu Xiaotian opened the port on Nanri Island, the shops on Dalian Island have gradually begun to move to Nanri Island, making the originally lively Dalian Island gradually become cold.

After Li Yi cooperated with Yu Xiaotian, he simply closed the warehouse on Dalian Island, moved the people in the warehouse to land, or sent them to Maoshengyuan on Nanri Island to work.

Because Xiuer's identity is relatively special, Yu Xiaotian did not speak, and Li Yi could not send Xiuer to Nanri Island, so she was taken to land. This time, he heard that Yu Xiaotian was coming to Fuzhou, so he specially brought Xiuer here to serve Yu Xiaotian.

Yu Xiaotian has been busy for more than half a year and has never been to Dalian Island, so he has never seen Xiuer. After seeing her today, he was also very happy. He waved his hand to her to avoid etiquette and made her wait beside him.

"Yu Dangjia, are you satisfied with this place?" Li Yi asked Xiaotian with a smile.

"It's not bad, but it's not as big as I thought. It's a little cramped compared with the warehouses of Dalian Island and Nanri Island!" Yu Xiaotian said bluntly.

Li Yi shook his head and smiled and said, "The head of the house is a person who has seen a big scene. It is really difficult to get into the eyes of the head of the family! However, the ground in Fuzhou is limited, and I dare not say an inch of land and an inch of gold, but the land price here is very high. It is good to find such a shop, but we also have a courtyard outside the city, which is relatively large. General goods are stored outside the city. If necessary, they can be delivered quickly, but it will not delay!"

Yu Xiaotian nodded, and the problem of housing prices is the same for future generations. Housing prices in prosperous places must be high. It is quite good to have such a yard in the city, and he can't ask too much.

After chatting for a while, Yu Xiaotian sighed at the prosperity of Fuzhou and said with a smile, "I don't know when our Nanri Island can be as lively as Fuzhou!" Unfortunately, the pattern of Nanri Island is too small after all, and it is under the eyes of the government. Although the government turns a blind eye to me now, one day, the government must not want to see us too strong, so sometimes it is safer to keep a low profile!"

Li Yi nodded and said, "What the head of the family said is that Nanri Island is still under the jurisdiction of Daming. Although there is a place outside the world, sooner or later, if the government frees up, it will not sit back and watch Nanri Island become an enclave! It's really valuable for the head of the family to see this! In this way, Li doesn't have to worry. Yu must have had another plan!"

Yu Xiaotian nodded and said, "As a person, you must have a minimum self-knowledge. You should know yourself and know your enemy and win every battle. Although Yu has temporarily controlled the sea area along the coast of Fuzhou, the court will not easily sit down and watch me sit down like this. As for the retreat, Manager Li can rest assured that Yu has other plans!

I just want to discuss with you this time. I don't think there is much future for me to do such a business alone. Although we can make money, we don't have our own things. For a long time, it's not a way to rely on this alone. In addition, it's better for us to do this industry. It's better to simply do a business without money!

I think we can find a way to run some workshop on Nanri Island first and produce something by ourselves. We can only buy our own things so that people can't compete with us! I don't know what Manager Li is going to do?"

After hearing this, Li Yi nodded repeatedly and said yes, but his expression was a little disapproving. He said, "What the head of the family said is extremely true. If we can produce things by ourselves, it's a good thing, but it's not that Li is not discouraged. Li's ancestor was a small business. In the past, the family's business was a grocery business, and he has never done it. What workshop? What do you want to do now?

In addition, if you want to run a workshop, you need a craftsman. If you don't need a general craftsman, you need to hire a master. It can be said that it is difficult to get a lot of money at present.

Besides, although Nanri Island is not small, the situation is limited, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to run a workshop!

Now that we have your support, no one dares to provoke us on the sea. It is already more convenient for us to travel by boat. Whether there is north-south traffic or not, at least in Fuzhou, no one has taken advantage of us more than us!"

When Yu Xiaotian heard Li Yi's words, he obviously felt a little contented and didn't seem to support his idea, so he shook his head and said, "That's true, but who thinks he makes a lot of money? I bought a small thing on my way here just now. Let's have a look!"

(Today, I would like to thank the GZG1972 brothers for their reward! Thank you for your support!)
