Chapter 152 Should I Sell My Daughter for Fame?
Chapter 152 Should I Sell My Daughter for Fame?
Ren Fa's business has not been good recently.
"hiss!"
There are several blisters at the corners of my lips, I'm getting irritated.
There are many hawkers who think that as long as they go out early and come back late and work hard, they can get rich. However, for people at Ren Fa's level, this is pure nonsense.
Making money in business depends on fate.
More than 20 years ago, when his father was still alive, the Ren family was the richest family and was at its peak.
Twenty years ago, after my father died, he was buried in the stolen dragonfly-dipping water hole. His descendants did not get rich and even kept losing money. This went on for a full twenty years, but the Ren family is still the richest family.
It’s just that this richest man is different from the richest man twenty years ago.
Some time ago, when he asked his uncle to relocate his father's grave, he unexpectedly discovered that his father had turned into a zombie. After a lot of tossing and turning, he was burned to ashes.
However, the Feng Shui of the tomb after the reburial was very average, and the business losses were greater than the profits.
It was in this situation that he discovered a very strange phenomenon.
Although both are rice shops, Tan’s Rice Shop is making money.
It’s still a rouge shop, but the Tan family makes more money.
Someone is destined to be rich and nothing can stop him, so Ren Fa made a prompt decision and chose to do business with the Tan family. He would follow whatever business the Tan family did and take advantage of what the Tan family left.
It’s true, using this method, Mr. Ren finally made real money for the first time after 20 years of hard work.
In the past, the money earned from foreign restaurants was quickly lost elsewhere and we didn’t dare to do the accounting. Now, we are making a profit no matter how we do the accounting.
After all, Ren Fa is Master Ren. He is not satisfied with just taking advantage of the leftovers from the Tan family. Naturally, he is preparing to do some big business to make a fortune. Since the Tan family's ancestral tombs are smoking, there will be no problem in snatching the Tan family's business in advance.
He was not the only one who did this. How could one find friends in business? Besides, he was very unhappy with Tan Wenjie. His daughter Tingting was completely focused on him. They hadn't seen each other for some time, but they had written to each other many times.
The two are still in contact.
So when Ren Fa knew that Tan Wenjie was going to buy Baiyulou and run it, he acted decisively and exchanged the land deed to take over Baiyulou first.
But who knew that Baiyu Tower was a bottomless pit.
It's a den of all kinds of filth, there are murders, and there's a gangster boss. Money is poured into it all the time. All the little profit I made recently from following the Tan family has been poured in, and a lot of my family fortune has been poured in, but the situation hasn't changed.
Afterwards, Ren Fa asked Uncle Jiu to help with Feng Shui, but he forgot what kind of store he opened, a brothel.
Asking Uncle Jiu to help him with Feng Shui and help him make a lot of money and prosper his business? How could Uncle Jiu agree to this?
Later, I asked a few Feng Shui masters to help check it out. They all said that this house was built very well and would definitely have a prosperous business. They couldn't imagine why it would lose money. They just said that it was a situation where a dragon was swimming in shallow water and that when the wind and clouds came, it would surely bring in a lot of wealth.
In the room, Ren Fa scratched his head.
He also heard that Tan Wenjie came to Renjia Town again, and he must be here to check out the business.
The best case scenario is to sell Baiyu Tower to Tan Wenjie, hoping that Tan Wenjie can take over and help him stop the losses.
In the past, when the problems of Baiyulou had not yet been exposed, it would have been fine if the price was not discounted. But now, there are rumors everywhere that Baiyulou has spent half of people's family assets to fill the hole. Unless Tan Wenjie is a fool, he will not take over easily.
"Are you really going to let me sell my daughter for fame?"
Tingting is his most beloved only daughter.
You have to pay more! Bah, even if you pay more, it won’t work!
"Where's Tingting?"
Coming out of the study, Ren Fa didn't see his daughter and couldn't help but ask.
In fact, Tingting would go out at this time of the week. She likes to put on makeup and would usually exchange makeup tips with some young ladies. Sometimes she would also go to the Tan family's rouge shop to buy things.
The Ren family also has a rouge shop!
Just now, he couldn't help but think of his daughter and Tan Wenjie being together, and now he asked this question for some unknown reason.
The maids looked at each other, not daring to answer.
After Ren Fa pointed, a maid with big eyes replied, "Master, the young lady said she wants to go find Boss Tan."
"hiss--"
Let the toothache persist.
"Okay, go ahead."
He went out with his hands behind his back and got on a carriage to look for Tan Wenjie.
The carriage stopped in front of the teahouse, and the waiter came out and said with a smile: "Master Ren, would you like some tea?"
Everyone knows that Mr. Ren’s teahouse has been turned into a Western restaurant and few people come here normally.
"I'm here to see Boss Tan."
"Unfortunately, our boss went out early in the morning."
"He went out?" Ren was surprised. "Do you know where he went?" "It seems he went to check on the shop. We servants dare not ask about the boss's affairs."
Ren Fa nodded: "Tell Boss Tan that I want to invite him to dinner tonight."
If he doesn't sell Baiyulou, he really can't bear it anymore. He has to stop the loss in time even if it means sacrificing his reputation. If Tan Wenjie can help a little, he can let Tingting...
Thinking of Tingting, Ren Fa started to have toothache again.
Without me nodding, my lovely daughter would rush over to him.
"Got it!" the guy nodded.
Just as Ren Fa was about to lower the curtain, he saw the waiter turn around and yell at a beggar: "Get lost! Our boss is kind-hearted, why are you so greedy and keep coming back after I drove him away!"
He could no longer hear the quarrel behind him. Ren Fa covered half of his face which was suffering from toothache, thinking about how to finalize the matter tonight.
……
Tan’s foreign goods shop.
Tan Wenjie looked at the phone with a dark face.
He pointed at the phone and asked, "Who imported the goods?"
The owner of the foreign goods shop was a tall and thin man. He immediately nodded and bowed and said, "Boss, these are the goods I bought."
"Who are you going to sell this to?"
Telephone?
There are only a few households in Renjia Town with electricity, and everyone is engaged in livelihood business, most of which involve prostitution, gambling and drugs, so timeliness is not important.
Where are the operators and the laying of lines? They only make a few bucks from each phone call. This is not Shanghai.
"I heard it's the latest foreign product from Shanghai..."
The shopkeeper explained.
It doesn’t matter if they can’t sell them. They must have high-end goods to prove that this is the shop with the best source of foreign goods in the entire Renjia Town.
Tan Wenjie flipped through the account book.
He was sure that if he was not favored by the God of Wealth, the foreign goods shop would be the first to go bankrupt.
It was closed for several days, and then occasionally a passerby would buy something very expensive here, and after making the purchase, he would leave Renjia Town and never come back.
It is the God of Wealth who brings wealth.
There were no talents who knew how to do business, and there was nothing Tan Wenjie could do. Fortunately, his mind was not on making money. His goal was to become an immortal and live forever, and then worry about how boring immortality was after living forever.
"Boss Tan, the God of Wealth has been invited back!"
"Well, I'll bow first."
Tan Wenjie nodded. Compared with looking for a business genius, it is more reliable to pray to the God of Wealth. With the help of the God of Wealth, he will not lose money. With the blessing of the God of Wealth, he will not lose much money even if there are wars, banditry and other situations.
Guan Erye + Zhou Cang, Guan Ping is also invited back.
Marshal Zhao Gongming + Black Tiger.
Zhong Kui.
The bond between the Three Gods of Wealth.
After worshipping respectfully and burning incense, he decided that the shopkeeper must worship several gods properly in the future. He did not know how to do business, and his ability to make money depended entirely on the blessing of the God of Wealth.
[Today's blessing: Fortune +5]
Tan Wenjie looked up suddenly. Why is his fortune so good today? Is someone going to give him money?
"Wenjie!"
A clear shout came from outside the door.
Tan Wenjie turned around and looked at Ren Tingting who had changed into the pearl necklace again, and said with a smile: "Tingting, long time no see."
"Long time no see, and I didn't see you coming over."
Not busy, but forgotten.
Just as he was about to speak, he saw Tingting looking at the person standing next to Tan Wenjie: "Zhuzhu? When did you come?"
Oh no, Zhuzhu ran away!
