"You and Qiu Hu become brothers like this?"
"Um!"
Yan Junqi was confused for a moment.
Lu Xu became so passionate that he dared to do anything, but when he returned home after doing it, he felt that he was too average and a little embarrassed.
Niunianniu told Yan Junqi, "I only told you."
Yan Junqi nodded.
Qiu Hu knew that he had a reputation outside as a gangster and that Lu Xu's family was orphaned and widowed, so he didn't come to visit him. He only wrapped gifts for Lu Xu and asked him to bring them back to give to his younger brothers and sisters.
"I heard that Qiu Hu himself eats whole grains and noodles. He also bought many gifts for Lu Zhou and La Yue."
Yan Junqi nodded, no, he, the scholar who needed help settling accounts, got a knife of good paper and a piece of good ink.
Lu Xu: "I see his righteousness. I admire people who are bold, righteous and heroic."
Yan Junqi nodded: "Well, you are like that."
Lu Xu was even happier.
Others praise him for his ability to speak, but when he speaks, others know that he is saying nice things on purpose. Jun Qi is amazing, and the compliments on him are always very true and useful.
Lu Xu raised his tail, "You don't know, those brothers of his are so jealous of me, they are so sour that I don't even need to add vinegar to the cold dishes!"
Yan Junqi couldn't help but laugh too.
"Hurry up and help me calculate, how much does it cost to open a canteen?"
"Um."
Yan Junqi didn't know why he called the small grocery store a canteen, but he did. It sounded quite cute, so he listed all the goods Lu Xu mentioned, how much he wanted to buy, how to mix them cost-effectively, and what he wanted less and what he wanted more. , how to price...
He listed three pieces of paper. Before he felt dizzy, Lu Xu looked dizzy first.
"No, it's too much. Reduce it."
"good."
Lu Xu had dinner at his house in the evening and stayed another night.
He and Yan Junqi stayed up half the night before coming up with a plan.
Yan Jun copied them together and read them to him one by one.
After Lu Xu heard it once, he could repeat it.
Yan Junqi always felt that Lu Xu knew some words, but it seemed that he didn't. Whenever he felt that Lu Xu was a genius with a photographic memory, Lu Xu would turn his head and mispronounce simple words.
He didn't think about it and understood it. He just didn't want to and taught it over and over again to encourage Lu Xu to read and write.
Lu Xu's brain was in a mess. He had nightmares at night where he would write big characters, which made his hand almost break. Junqi always looked at him expectantly.
Lu Xu broke into a cold sweat and muttered in his sleep, "Jun Qi, I won't write anymore." "I won't take the exam!" "Put the book away!"
Yan Junqi couldn't help laughing, using the moonlight outside the window to look at Lu Xu's unsteady face in his deep sleep. If he was a master of painting, he wonders if he could have recorded this moment.
When Lu Xu was settling accounts, Qiu Hu was also settling accounts.
But unlike Lu Xu and Yan Junqi who wrote on paper, none of them could read, so they took out their money and simply spread it out and counted. There are piles of twelve taels, counting how many piles there are, how much is expected to be used for the purchase, and then moving out from the total, this pile, that pile, a group of people are dizzy, and soon they forget what this pile is for. , what is that pile for?
"Brother Hu, I think we need to find a counting house."
"We can't understand what the accountant wrote."
"well……"
"Let's recalculate."
They recalculated three or four times and finally figured out the approximate expenses. Seeing that all the money they had finally accumulated was going to be spent, Qiu Hu's brothers were a little anxious, "Brother Hu, do we really want to do this?"
Qiu Hu touched the last fifty taels of silver, gritted his teeth and said, "Do it!"
When Tan Shitou saw Lu Xu early the next morning, he felt very complicated.
I even regretted that I shouldn't have introduced Lu Xu to Qiu Hu.
No one expected that when Lu Xu opened his mouth, all the money they had spent to buy land, build a house, and send money to their families was gone.
They have no confidence in selling groceries.
If it could be sold, Liang Shubao and Liang Shanbao would not have to block Lu Xu to sell it hard.
Lu Xu didn't know what Tan Shitou was thinking, but she thought he was still bitter because Qiu Hu had sworn a sworn relationship with him.
He got on the boat and comforted Tan Shitou: "Although Brother Tiger has not become sworn sworn friends with you, he must regard you as his younger brother in his heart. It is because he is so close to you that he doesn't need to do anything extra."
Tan Shitou was startled, it makes sense! "That's not true. I've been following Brother Hu since I was a child."
Lu Xu made him happy, but felt that he was not completely coaxed.
When he arrived at the big courtyard where the Qiu brothers lived, he saw the two Liang brothers. They were very nice, and their expressions were exactly the same as Tan Shitou's - he wished he had done so.
Lu Xu wondered, how did he offend his friends after not seeing them for a whole night?
Fortunately, Qiu Hu was as enthusiastic about him as ever, which dispelled Lu Xu's suspicion that "the Qiu family was persuaded by Song Liu to rebel overnight".
Lu Xu took out the "budget" filled with words, and without much greeting, got to the point and started reading with Qiu Hu in the yard.
Hurry up and finish reading, he still has to go to the morning market to set up a stall!
Lu Xu first thought about what he wanted to buy. The more he thought about it, the more solemn the expressions of Qiu Hu's brothers became. However, he faced Qiu Hu and turned his back to them, so he did not see them.
When they thought about how much they needed to buy in the first place and how much it cost, their expressions gradually turned to shock.
Even Qiu Hu couldn't help but be a little stunned.
He asked Lu Xu to read the total number again.
Lu Xu read it again, "A total of five hundred and twenty taels of silver."
Could it be that Qiu Hu couldn't afford so much money?
He quickly scanned the Qiu family's courtyard.
The Qiu brothers can endure hardships, and their accommodation is not very particular. It is just a large courtyard with adobe houses. Each room is a big bunkhouse, and about ten people live in one room. I heard that this yard is still rented.
In the yard were piles of things they used for work, including poles, baskets... and the cart used by Tan Shitou to deliver goods yesterday.
There are two clotheslines hanging on the south wall, and the clothes hanging on them are all made of linen.
There is also a row of straw sandals hanging against the wall.
Their lives were also very shabby.
Lu Xu scratched his head, "The variety of goods can no longer be reduced. If it is too small, it will not be complete. If others cannot buy it all from us, and they still have to buy it from the town or county, then our advantage will be gone. Otherwise, we can narrow the scope some more. Just pick two or three towns to sell and see..."
Qiu Hu slapped his leg, "No, I'll sell it as you say! It doesn't hurt to make it bigger!"
Others were also excited, "Is five hundred taels enough?"
Lu Xu: "..."
Listen, what do you mean? Isn't five hundred taels of silver money? Do you look down on five hundred taels?
It was because he was too small-minded and thought they lived in a dilapidated house and had no money.
This is how you can save money!
He didn't know that five hundred taels was too much for them, but with Qiu Hu's calculation of more than a thousand taels last night as a foreshadowing, they felt that five hundred taels was too economical!
Tan Shitou smiled broadly and looked at the piece of paper, "Brother Xu, you can actually read!"
Lu Xu modestly said: "My neighbor's brother just taught me last night."
Tan Shitou: "That's amazing! No one in our village is literate!"
Others: "Yes, yes, we can't read!"
Lu Xu: "..."
He didn't understand. Is it something to be happy about being illiterate? Why did they all smile so brightly after changing from before?
The three friends who just looked like they regretted meeting him are now staring at him with proud expressions like "I have good taste and you are really a woman."
Lu Xu didn't understand, but he was shocked. Is this the power of reading? !
Qiu Hu stared at the piece of paper carefully based on his memory, and said to Lu Xu: "I have been thinking about it all night. The way you proposed to deliver goods to the village is a good idea. We brothers are not good at talking, and we can't do the job well as an all-round salesman. ."
Lu Xu nodded and thought to himself, isn't this because he is afraid that you will have no money?
Wholesale costs are comparable to retail sales.
Lu Xu: "Since we have the capital, we might as well choose a few more villages for pilot projects. I think we will choose ten. When we earn enough money to open a store, we will open a new one."
Qiu Hu nodded.
Lu Xu looked at the brothers of the Qiu family and said, "I would like to trouble you brothers to inquire more. It is best to choose a village that is affluent and has good folk customs. If there is no suitable and trustworthy family, we should first stick to the weak ones in the village." , and a kind-hearted family. We are foreigners, so it is best not to deal with bullies and gangsters, otherwise we will give you goods but not get the money back."
Everyone: "Don't worry, no one dares to give us credit."
That's true, even the boat gang doesn't owe them wages.
Lu Xu still warned: "It would not be good if you go around chasing accounts and asking for debts every day when doing business."
Qiu Hu: "That's right. We want to live a steady life, not be gangsters looking for trouble."
The Qiu brothers nodded obediently and did not dare to say anything.
Lu Xu looked at it with curiosity and admiration - this is the aura of his eldest brother! In one sentence, all the ferocious beasts in the yard became well-behaved!
When will he become such a big brother!
Qiu Hu: "Brother Lao is here in Lujia Village. I'll ask someone to buy the goods later. I'll go to your house to set up the shop first."
Lu Xu: "The thing about making money is that I take advantage of my eldest brother. I might as well find someone to make a cart for transporting goods first. After I sell the cold dishes, I will go pick the goods with him. I don't dare to boast about anything else. I I’m familiar with the owners of grocery stores and wine shops, so I can negotiate prices easily.”
Qiu Hu: "Okay. Ask Shitou to help you. If you need anything, ask him to run errands."
Tan Shitou repeatedly agreed: "Brother Tiger, don't worry!"
In the afternoon, Lu Xu accompanied Qiu Hu to buy goods, and Qiu Hu discovered that Lu Xu was not good at bargaining, but was very good at haggling.
Qiu Hu and the two brothers he brought with him did not need to speak during the whole process of greeting each other, choosing goods, and negotiating prices. They acted as the backdrop for Lu Xu and Ren's nonsense.
Lu Xu: "It doesn't matter if you don't believe me, you have to believe in my elder brother! Don't you know Mr. Qiu? Please ask Quan Guanyang, what is the character of my elder brother? A real man has an iron backbone, spits and bites, speaks the truth, and does not deceive anyone." .”
Qiu Hu relied on his natural three-dimensional face and years of experience in being serious about words to prevent him from running away shyly on the spot.
He didn't even know that his reputation was so famous?
Lu Xu was talking nonsense, but others really bought it.
If you don't have any friendship, he can give you 80% or 90% off.
If he has a good relationship, he can also use his face to get credit.
Especially for those who have dealt with him, the focus is all on how he beat up Song Liu yesterday. Lu Xu and Qiu Hu are different. They boasted themselves to the sky. With just two or three things, he can make up several back-and-forths. , what kind of tiger pounces on food, grabs the stick from the tiger's mouth, strikes with thunder...
Putting aside the fact that Song Liu is just a cat at best, is he so proud of himself?
But others are still willing to listen to his nonsense.
When I heard that he was Lu Xu, I was willing to sell him face.
After figuring out the cost of repairing the car and expanding the ship, the purchase they made was more than 30% lower than Lu Xu's budget.
Qiu Hu and the two brothers were simply amazed.
Lu Xu himself wondered, when did he become so famous? Can't figure it out.
Qiu Hu must have a great reputation, and others are afraid of Qiu Hu!
Little did he know that many people who opened the shop didn't know Qiu Hu. However, he became famous in a battle yesterday. Everyone in Guanyang knew that a young man named Lu Xu had appeared out of the blue. He took both black and white and joined forces with the Qiu family and the Luo family to defeat the Song family, a boat gang. In the future, maybe the sky will change in Guanyang!
If there was only Qiu Hu, they didn't want to make friends with him. After all, he was a coolie. After living in Guanyang for so long, they didn't see any decent livelihood in the Qiu family, so they were worried.
If there was only Luo Shen, they would not be willing to make friends. Luo Shen was cautious and conservative. You would not make any money by following Luo Shen, and you would be easily punished.
Lu Xu is different. When he opens his mouth or shuts up, he always says, "Come on, let's make money together!"
How simple, how noble!
He has two big backers and is quite business savvy. During the few months he has been in Guanyang, many people have taken notice of him. He may be able to make a lot of money by being cunning, but he will not last long in the morning market. His business in the morning market is getting worse and worse. The more prosperous the country is, the better it must be.
Anyway, the current market situation is not good, and he is willing to take the trouble. They will not lose anything if they try. If Lu Xu really succeeds, it will be a good sales channel.
The author has something to say:
Lu Xu: My new big brother is so awesome!
Qiu Hu: My new brother is so awesome!
