But Su Zhaoxin changed his mind and immediately looked at Su Changan: "That's not right, sister! If you take all of it, then my 10% will be gone!"
Su Liheng rolled his eyes at his brother, then looked at Su Changan with the same innocent eyes as before: "Sister, don't be like this. I know those things are yours, and I know that the money should be given to you after selling them, but...but you see, the person down there was trained by me, and I also built the venue and did the publicity. And you took them all away"
Hearing this, Su Changan was stunned for a moment and looked at Su Liheng carefully.
I had chatted with Su Zifeng before and heard him talk about his son, but he always shook his head and said that he was not cut out for studying or being an official, and his head was full of business tricks, such as this was profitable and that was not.
At that moment, I heard Su Liheng say that he had done publicity for this matter and trained people.
Su Changan was a little surprised: "You did the publicity a few days in advance."
Su Liheng immediately said, "Three days ago, there were many people in the capital who liked your poems and admired you, so I spread the word three days in advance, saying that I could get your original calligraphy. Then I deliberately spread the word that I had connections with the Su family and could really get it."
Su Changan asked again: "Did you also train that person below?"
Su Liheng nodded: "Selling your things, big sister, you can't just sell them casually, so I thought of some words. Besides, if I don't say some nice words, I'm afraid I won't be able to sell them at a high price."
After saying this, Su Liheng thought about his elder sister asking for 100% and taking it all. Thinking about the money behind him, he felt distressed and said with tears in his eyes, "Please, elder sister, don't tell grandpa, and don't take it all, otherwise I really won't be able to sleep. This is all my hard-earned money."
Su Zhaoxin came up to Su Changan and said, "Big sister, after you take all the money, will you give me 10%? If so, just take it all. Fourth brother has a lot of money anyway. It's all under his bed. It's all silver. He even sleeps on the bed made of silver."
Su Liheng looked at Su Zhaoxin with his eyes wide open.
Take his money!
Might as well kill him!!
As a result, this kid actually instigated the elder sister to take the money!
Su Liheng is very angry! The consequences are serious!
But now is not the time to teach Su Zhaoxin a lesson. The key is to prevent the elder sister from taking it all away.
So he looked at Su Changan eagerly.
Su Changan glanced at Su Zhaoxin and said, "Go play somewhere else."
Su Zhaoxin was stunned for a moment, and thought that since the elder sister didn't say directly that she would not give it to me, it meant that she would definitely give it to me. She told him to go play somewhere else so as not to disturb her while she was teaching Fourth Brother a lesson.
He immediately said "OK" and ran to the cat with a happy face.
Maomao looked down at the silly child, too lazy to say anything, and just turned to look at the books.
Zhou Qianhong smiled bitterly but ignored everything and stood respectfully at the stairs, always alert.
After thinking for a while, Su Changan asked Su Liheng: "Do you think the rouge business can make money?"
When I heard my elder sister suddenly ask me this, I was a little confused as to why she suddenly changed the subject, but she brought up the rouge business.
Su Liheng nodded immediately: "Profit! It's profitable! I calculated that an average-sized shop, if it only sells ordinary rouge, can make several thousand taels a year, excluding the cost, labor, and shop rental fees. This is still a normal sales. If the sales are good, such as selling some high-end products, it can make more than ten thousand a year."
"For example, the biggest rouge shop in Luoan City, Wubenfang, has a cooperation with people from the Western Regions. Every year, they send rouge from the Western Regions to us. Then, the owner also cooperates with rouge shops in the south and Shuchuan. We exchange what we have and what we don't. The rouge from the south is brought to us to sell in the north, and the rouge from the north is brought to the south. In this way, we make more money."
"Especially because the boss's products are good, she has cooperation with the biggest shops in Hua Street, and she also associates with many wives and daughters of officials. As a result, the sales channel has been completely opened. I secretly calculated that the shop, conservatively estimated, has a net profit of at least 30,000 taels a year. It's a pity that the boss is just an ordinary merchant. No matter how powerful she is, she is still not good enough. Many officials look down on her, so she didn't take over the entire Luoan City business. Otherwise, I estimate that her profit would at least double a year. If she can get the connection with the palace, it is possible to triple or even quadruple it."
Finished
Su Liheng looked at Su Changan and asked carefully, "Sister, are you going to start a rouge business?"
Chapter 52 Sister, if you sign this book, you can sell it tenfold
Su Changan didn't answer.
However, Su Liheng said with a worried look on his face: "It's difficult even if you want to do it, big sister. Because the most common rouge shops in Luo'an City have almost all of them. If you want to rob them by force, you have to find a way to get Western rouge from Western merchants. But those golden-haired, blue-eyed people are so evil, their skin is even darker than those Kunlun slaves!"
"I used to think about opening a rouge shop secretly, but the cheapest price from the Western Region merchants was five taels of silver, but when I got it to the capital, it turned into ten taels of silver. Even if I went to them to buy goods, they would only give me eight taels, and I had to pay a deposit first. I had to wait for them to come next time before I could get the goods. It was really not cost-effective. It was such a waste of time."
"That's why I gave up the idea of opening a rouge shop. So, big sister, if you want to open one, I can help you. But I have sales channels, but it's a bit difficult to find the source of goods. After all, ordinary rouge is easy to find, but the profit is too thin. We don't need to make that much money."
Su Changan thought for a moment and asked, "What if it's new rouge?"
Su Liheng's eyes lit up: "Sister, I know you have made a lot of things, they are all very rare, especially those dishes. My father said that he wanted to ask you for a recipe to sell in his restaurants, but he was shy and didn't dare to ask. But I am different, I am thick-skinned, sister, if you have any ideas about rouge, please think of me."
Su Changan laughed.
He was howling like a ghost just now, but now he is full of energy. He is indeed a money-grubber!
Su Changan nodded: "We need to go home and make it to know."
Su Liheng became more energetic, and immediately pursed his lips and asked eagerly: "Is it okay?"
After that, she pouted to one side, and then said, "Don't blame me, sister. I said something rude and pooh-poohed myself. The main thing is whether our rouge is safe. If it is like lead powder, sister, we will not do the rouge business. We will not touch lead powder. The money is too dirty! It is disgusting to spend money that harms people."
"Why don't you write more poems and I'll help you sell them. That can also make money, and it's faster, and most importantly, it's clean. You take 70% and I take 30%, or you take 80% and I take 20%! It can't be any less, otherwise I'd be sorry for my hard work."
After Su Changan heard this, just based on the above sentence, he began to look at Su Liheng with a new respect.
But the following words brought Su Liheng back to his original impression.
Su Changan said, "It's safe and won't hurt anyone. The main thing is that after I make it, can you do the rest on your own? I can't show up."
Su Liheng was extremely happy when he heard this and immediately said, "Okay! As long as it's good rouge, it will definitely sell well."
But after saying that, she looked at Su Changan in confusion: "But, sister, why can't you show up? If people outside knew that this kind of business was yours, I don't think we would have to worry about sales. You are a golden signboard."
Su Changan thought of the empress and shook his head, saying, "If people knew that I was in charge of this business, something terrible would happen."
Su Liheng was puzzled: "What's the big deal?"
Su Changan said: "If I tell you, you'll be scared to death."
Su Liheng frowned and looked at Su Changan carefully, very puzzled.
But if Su Changan didn't say anything, Su Liheng wouldn't think about it. Apart from the money, he didn't want to bother with these things, so he immediately asked, "Sister, do you want that 100% to open a rouge shop?"
Su Changan nodded: "Yes and no."
Su Liheng immediately said, "Then I won't give it to you. I believe you can definitely make good rouge. I will take this money to find a store this afternoon. Let's start cleaning up the inside first."
Su Changan shook his head: "You still have to give me the money."
As soon as these words came out, Su Liheng felt powerless again: "No, sister, you, we..."
Su Changan laughed and scolded, "Listen to me, you have to give me 50% of the money and you keep the other 50%."
Hearing this, Su Liheng regained his strength, as long as they didn't take all of it.
And
Considering that I can't tell my grandfather and the others about this, I think it's a good deal if I can get 50%!
Even if you use this 50% to open a shop, there will still be some left!
Count it all!
made money!
Not a loss!
Su Changan looked at Su Liheng, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, but still said: "You have to keep the matter of the Rouge Shop a secret, and don't let anyone know that I'm involved, otherwise something big will happen, and no one here will tell anyone. As for the initial investment, you need to take care of it. I will get that thing out in the next two days, and then I will go find your second sister and see if she has any girlfriends who haven't helped to bring it to the young ladies' place to promote it."
Su Liheng nodded immediately after hearing this: "Okay! Okay! That's great. I was just wondering how to ask my second sister for help."
At this point, Su Changan glanced at the silver behind Su Liheng and said, "Okay, in this case, you take care of the preliminary preparations first, and I'll try to do it when I get back. We'll talk about the split of the profits when the time comes."
Su Liheng thought for a moment and said, "How about we make it clear now? Four and six? I'll take four, you take six."
Su Changan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He realized that Su Liheng was afraid that he would threaten him again, so he nodded and said, "Okay."
Su Liheng smiled.
Looking at Su Changan, I feel that she is more pleasing to the eye than her second sister Su Linhan!
It’s much better than those bookworms!
He didn't like studying and only liked doing business, so his second sister and the teacher at home often lectured him, which made him dislike scholars.
Knowing that Su Chang'an was an excellent writer, he thought he was a scholar. He was afraid that he would lecture him if they met, so he never dared to visit him.
But today, look
Regret it!!
If I had known that the elder sister was a fellow traveler, I should have gone there on the first day!
Otherwise, wouldn’t the matter of the rouge shop have been done in advance? Maybe it has already been credited to the account!
But while thinking this, Su Liheng pursed his lips, turned around, picked up two books, looked at Su Changan and said, "Big sister, would you like to sign these books?"
Su Changan was stunned for a moment, but immediately understood what Su Liheng meant.
But before he could curse, Su Liheng immediately said, "I sell this book for 40 coins a copy, but if you sign your name on it, people will rush to buy it for 4,000 coins, so. Sign two copies?"
Su Changan laughed and scolded: "Get lost!"
Su Liheng heard this and said, "Okay!"
Su Changan shook his head helplessly and planned to go home.
But Su Liheng came up again: "Sister, can you write a storybook? I think it will take some time to write a book of poetry, but storybooks are fast, and that thing makes money quickly, which is considered a huge profit!"
Su Changan rolled his eyes and said, "Believe it or not, I will go to Grandpa's yard when I get back."
Su Liheng curled his lips when he heard this, and hesitated to speak.
Then he took a few steps back and looked at Su Changan eagerly.
It seems that he can write!
But why not write it?
Because the cat ignored him, Su Zhaoxin, who ran to the stairs beside Zhou Qianhong, looked at Su Liheng and shook his head, "My brother is so stupid. Doesn't he know that big sister is soft-hearted? He keeps pestering her."
Zhou Qianhong smiled bitterly helplessly.
Su Zhaoxin looked up at Zhou Qianhong and suddenly changed the subject and asked, "Sister Zhou, can your horse go to the racecourse? It's the racecourse next to Xiuhu Village outside the city."
Zhou Qianhong shook her head: "War horses are different from racehorses."
Su Zhaoxin said with some regret: "What a pity, I think your horses are in good condition."
After saying that, he immediately said, "I'm telling you, when I get the money this time, I'm going to buy the horse I like. That horse is great and has won many first prizes. It's just a pity that its leg was broken once, but after it healed, it won many championships again. Unfortunately, its leg is broken again now, and I heard it can't be healed."
