"Aunt Huyang, please sit down!"
Gu Jiu greeted Princess Huyang in the flower hall of the east courtyard.
Princess Huyang looked at it curiously, it was her first time to the East Courtyard.
She looked at Gu Jiu, "I've done the work for you. Fuya has woken up and is more energetic than anyone else. She promises to live another 20 or 30 years. Should you also fulfill the original promise?"
Gu Jiu smiled and nodded, "Auntie drinks tea. I will naturally fulfill what I promised you."
She poured tea for Princess Huyang herself, and delivered the teacup to her.
Hu Yang pushed away the teacup, "I'm not busy drinking tea, why not talk about money first."
Gu Jiu put down the teapot, "Okay! I was just about to talk to my aunt about the money. The Li family, is my aunt familiar with it?"
"Which Li family are you referring to?" Princess Huyang asked with raised eyebrows.
Gu Jiu pursed her lips and smiled, "Of course it's Li Zhaoyi's Li family."
"Wrong, wrong, you have to change your name to Concubine Li De tomorrow. The Palace has received news that His Majesty has decided to confer on Li Zhaoyi the title of Concubine De. Hmph, I'm a servant, I really don't know why she was named Concubine De .”
The owner of Huyang County was obviously very dissatisfied with Li Zhaoyi, his tone and eyes all showed one meaning, disgust. I deeply dislike Li Zhaoyi.
Gu Jiu laughed and said, "It will be a matter of time before Li Zhaoyi becomes a concubine, Aunt Huyang doesn't have to be angry."
"I don't have the mood to be angry. Father spoils that woman so much that he forgets us children. It's really unreasonable."
"Aunt drink tea!"
Gu Jiu took the opportunity to put the teacup in front of Princess Huyang.
Princess Huyang picked up the teacup and downed it in one gulp, most of the cup was gone.
Gu Jiu carried the teapot to refill the teacup, "Auntie doesn't like the Li family. Many people don't like the Li family. Even I hate the Li family. The Li family relied on Li Zhaoyi to be favored. Cai, I don’t know how many people were ruined by the Li family.”
Princess Huyang raised his eyebrows, "Why, you want to act like a top bird and go to the imperial court to sue the Li family? It's useless. Just this year's memorial to impeach Li's father and son is enough to fill several big baskets, is it useful? Not only were the Li family father and son not dismissed from office, they were even promoted. Everything depends on the will of the emperor, understand?"
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "Thank you aunt for your teaching. But I plan to file a complaint. I have an opportunity here to make the Li family vomit blood. I wonder if aunt is interested?"
Princess Huyang stared at Gu Jiu suspiciously, "Are you trying to instruct me to be the first bird? Bengong told you, I won't do things that are not beneficial."
Who said Hu Yang is an idiot? stand out.
Look at Hu Yang's shrewd appearance at the moment, how stupid is he
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "My aunt misunderstood. I am grateful to my aunt for waking up Her Royal Highness Princess Fuya, and I want to reciprocate. It happens that we all hate Li Zhaoyi and the Li family. Now we have a chance to make the Li family vomit blood. We can make a lot of money on the go. Is aunt interested?"
"Make money?" Other things are not the point, the point is to make money.
Gu Jiu nodded, "Of course there is money to be made. If there is no money to be made, I will definitely not say a word."
"Then tell me, how do you make money?"
"Auntie, have you ever heard of Zhenbao Zhai..."
Gu Jiu used his perfect tongue to successfully fool the Princess of Huyang.
Snapped!
Princess Huyang slapped the table, "Is it really as profitable as you said?"
"I still didn't say much, for fear of scaring my aunt."
Princess Huyang laughed so hard that she couldn't see her teeth, "Anything can scare me, but money can't scare me. This vote, I will follow you."
Gu Jiu pretended to be pleasantly surprised and asked: "Really? Aunt has thought it through?"
"Of course."
"Then the money I should give you?"
"You don't need to give it, it's my investment. Five thousand taels, I'll put it all into this business. You said, I'll give me a dividend at the end of the year. If you don't pay me a dividend at the end of the year, I'll smash your business."
Gu Jiu smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, Auntie, I will definitely give you a dividend at the end of the year."
Huyang Princess left the palace happily, without taking a penny from Gu Jiu.
When she got into the carriage, hey, she suddenly felt something was wrong.
Why did she come to the palace today
She came to ask for money, but in the end she didn't get a penny, and instead gave the money to Gu Jiu for real estate business
Hu Yang patted himself on the head, and asked the maid beside him, "Do you think I've been fooled?"
"I don't understand, I don't understand. I only know that there will be dividends at the end of the year, and the princess will be able to share a large sum of money."
Princess Huyang frowned, "Can I get five thousand taels of money?"
"Yes. Didn't Mrs. Zhao say that the profit is guaranteed to be doubled?"
"Then she should give me 10,000 taels of capital with interest at the end of the year, right?"
The maid just nodded.
Princess Huyang reminded her, "You remember this for me, don't forget, you know?"
She was always feeling a little uncomfortable, wondering if she had been fooled
But it was written in black and white that Gu Jiu could not renege on his debt.
…
East courtyard of Wangfu.
Qingmei laughed out loud, "I'm still worrying, where do I get the five thousand taels? Zhenbaozhai's money is all reserved for Rong Xin, and Huang Zhuo and the others went to Jiangnan for expenses. Unexpectedly, after a few words from Madam, the Saved five thousand taels, and successfully sent the Huyang princess away."
Gu Jiu laughed lightly and said, "Strictly speaking, it's just a postponement of payment. By the end of the year, the 5,000 taels of madam will still be given to Princess Huyang."
"It's good to be able to postpone it for more than half a year. It's really tight to transfer five thousand taels at this time."
The little Huangmen Ma Xiaoliu who just took office came back from the outside.
Bring back one thousand taels of silver notes.
"Madam Qi, this is from the second master of the Su family. The second master of the Su family and the young master Biao read the letter written by their wife, and agreed to participate in the shares without even thinking about it. They all said that if the wife said that repairing the house can make money, then it must be They can make money. They took out all the cash and said that if Madam still needs money, they will pool it together and give Madam another thousand taels.”
Gu Jiu accepted the 1,000 taels from the Su family, which was used as development funds for the renovation project of Yuhua Lane.
She wrote down an agreement and ordered Ma Xiaoliu to deliver it to the Su family.
"Tell them that one thousand taels is enough, and there is no need to raise additional money."
"The little one will be sent to the Su family."
For the renovation project of Yuhua Lane, Gu Jiu is 100% sure to make money.
For such a lucrative project, she naturally did not forget her brother Gu Ting, nor did she forget the Su family. Write letters to them separately and ask them to contribute money, and if the business is completed, the profits will be shared directly.
Gu Ting and Su Zheng didn't even think that there might be risks in this. It seemed that Gu Jiu was asking for money to do business, and without a word, he would give as much as he had.
They all firmly believe that there is nothing impossible for Gu Jiu to do business.
Gu Jiu is still raising funds internally.
Er Zhuang was the most enthusiastic, and took out his wife, which was five hundred taels. He also sent a letter to Da Zhuang, telling Da Zhuang to seize the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and it was rare for Gu Jiu to bring everyone together to make a fortune, so he hurriedly sent money over.
Qingmei, Qingzhu, Xiaocui, and Wang Yi all contributed their private money to participate in the shares.
Nanny Fang hesitated at first, but was persuaded by Qingmei in the end, and followed suit to take out the money. But she didn't get much money, only fifty taels.
Gu Jiu was very straightforward, "Fifty taels is fifty taels, and it's also considered as Nanny Fang's share. After the house is sold, I will share the money with everyone."
Gu Jiu originally thought that it was a great thing to raise one thousand taels of silver from the internal fundraiser.
In the end, Da Zhuang and Du Cunli surprised her.
Da Zhuang and Nanny Gui, mother and son, chipped in and sent five hundred taels.
Du Cunli paid three thousand taels alone. Five hundred taels of it was his year-end bonus, and the rest of the money was his coffin book. He has been in the palace for so many years, and he has saved some private money to some extent.
Gu Jiu joked, "Nurse Fang, Eunuch Du is richer than you."
Nanny Fang didn't care, "He should be richer than me. Back then, slaves also had thousands of taels of coffins, but unfortunately brothers didn't live up to it and ruined them all. To tell you the truth, Mrs. Du only saved more than two thousand taels of coffins. Ben, given his status and identity back then, is really too little. It is estimated that the money was emptied by others during the years when he was demoted."
Five or six thousand taels of silver were raised internally, plus she was able to withdraw roughly three thousand taels of cash from the shop, making up nine thousand taels. It was two or three thousand taels short of the start-up capital.
Gu Jiu thought for a while, "Qing Mei, you can ask the Fourth Madam for me, I have a profitable business now, ask her if she wants to pay for a share? At least one thousand taels."
Qingmei was surprised, "Madam really want to pull the fourth lady into this business?"
Gu Jiu smiled softly, "The fourth lady is not like that, but the Xiao family behind her is very powerful. And the fourth son has so many friends, maybe they can come in handy."
Just like Princess Huyang, even though Princess Huyang is a shit-stirring stick, if you use it well, the shit-stirring stick can also play a big role.
Later, Gu Jiu was going to use the shit-stirring stick of Princess Huyang to have a good fight with the Li family.
Let the Li family rob her of her business, dare to open a jewelry store opposite the Zhenbaozhai, and copy everything from the Zhenbaozhai. Business model plagiarism, jewelry style plagiarism, shameless.
It would be difficult to dispel her anger if the Li family's business was not ruined.
Qingmei asked: "If the Fourth Madam asks what kind of business it is, how should the servants answer?"
"Just tell her about the house repair business."
Qingmei took orders and left.
Mother Fang speculated: "Madam asked Qingmei to say that it was a house repair business, and this slave guessed that the Fourth Madam might not agree."
Gu Jiu didn't care, "It doesn't matter if you don't agree. There are also Sister Mei and Sister Pei, and even Big Sister. I have already written to them, and I believe they will not miss this rare opportunity to make money."
Sure enough, when Xiao Qin'er heard about the house repair business, she had no interest at all.
In a few words, Qingmei was dismissed.
Afterwards, she even complained to Gu Jiu with the maid, "Sister-in-law is poor and crazy, she even turned to me for alms. Do you really think I'm a fool? Baibaitao has a thousand taels of silver, and there is not even a splash in the end. I really don't know." What was she thinking, and she ran to repair the house. I haven't seen a few people who repair houses and make a lot of money."
"What Madam said is true. According to this servant, the Eldest Young Master has not returned to the residence for a long time, and the Eldest Madam is anxious, so she wants to grab more money."
Xiao Qin'er sneered, "When Your Majesty pointed out the marriage, my wife heard people say that my sister-in-law has been in poor health since she was a child, and she has been a medicine jar since she was a child.
During the Chinese New Year, the eldest son stayed in the mansion for a month, but he didn't see any movement in her stomach. I reckon that her body is not good for childbearing, just like the second sister-in-law.
She also kept saying that she was fine, hmph, she obviously bribed the imperial physician to cover it up for her.
Let's see, if she keeps quiet this year, the palace will definitely not just sit idly by.
Concubine Shu's place will definitely give the eldest son a beauty. At that time, I want to see if my sister-in-law can still laugh. "
The east side is not bright, the west side is bright.
Gu Jiu personally handed over the opportunity to make money to Xiao Qin'er, but Xiao Qin'er refused to seize it.
But others have firmly seized this opportunity.
With arrogance, Pei Yun sent someone to send Gu Jiu five thousand taels of silver. He also said that if there is any profitable business in the future, don't forget to bring her.
Gu Mei was also very straightforward and sent someone to send two thousand taels.
She also persuaded Gu Qi, Gu Ying and the others to participate in the shares.
Gu Qi and Gu Ying probably sent one thousand taels each for Gu Mei's sake.
Gu Zhen was a little hesitant, and didn't want to refute Gu Jiu's face. Finally, I sent someone to send five hundred taels.
The total here is 9,500 taels, which is far beyond Gu Jiu's original budget.
I don't know where Ouyang Fu got the news, maybe Xiao Qin'er told her about this on purpose.
In short, Mrs. Ouyang sent someone to send one thousand taels in the other courtyard.
He also asked someone to say, "Sister-in-law wants to do business, and my power is limited, just one thousand taels, I hope sister-in-law will not dislike it."
Of course Gu Jiu didn't dislike it.
Whether it's one tael or one thousand taels, she welcomes it.
At the beginning, she was still worrying about the lack of start-up capital, and she had to use the working capital in the shop as a last resort.
At the beginning, when she planned to raise funds, she didn't hold out much hope. It would be nice to have a few thousand or eight thousand taels.
However, the funds raised in the end far exceeded her budget.
This is character.
Nothing is more valuable than character and credit.
In the original plan, the start-up capital was about 11,000 taels, which was enough to start the project.
Now the money in her hands has far exceeded the amount of eleven thousand taels.
That is to say, in addition to the five thousand taels nominally given to Huyang Princess, she can start real estate projects worth tens of thousands of taels, hundreds of thousands of taels, or even hundreds of thousands of taels without Tao's penny.
Moreover, she also occupied the bulk of the shares, accounting for a full 55% of the shares.
The remaining 45% of the shares are distributed to others.
What is an empty glove white wolf, this is an empty glove white wolf.
Gu Jiu laughed, is she going to start a financial storm in ancient times
After laughing, she started planning the project.
In order to increase the value of the real estate in Yuhua Lane, apart from renovation, the most important thing is the planned pier.
She must find a way to take down the planned dock location.
She already has a goal.
Another day, she will bring a generous gift and visit the Shaofu's family order.
While Gu Jiu was busy with her real estate development business, someone came to her door to give money.
It was Gu Ting who came back.
"Second sister needs money, so why didn't you tell me. You asked Gu Ting to participate but refused to tell me. Do you think you are too poor? But even if I am poor, I am a little richer than Gu Ting anyway."
Gu Jiu was taken aback for a moment, then laughed again.
"Sixth brother, please sit down. Sixth brother misunderstood. You are a family man now, how can I rashly let you invest in shares. There are losses and profits in the business. If you lose money, sister-in-law should blame me."
Gu Teng shook his head slowly, "Your sister-in-law is a generous person. When she learned that you needed money, she urged me to go this way. Today I brought a thousand taels, and most of the thousand taels are Her dowry silver. Don't think too little."
"No, no, how could I feel too little. It's too late for me to be grateful. I just told everyone that I have a business that may make money. I didn't expect everyone to support me so much."
Gu Jiu was surprised and moved.
She didn't expect Mrs. Hu to be so generous that he would take the initiative to send money over.
Is her character really that good
Gu Cheng laughed, "Second sister may not be clear, but now everyone knows that Zhenbaozhai was opened by you. The unique business model of Zhenbaozhai, many jewelry shops can't learn it. There is also a jewelry shop in your sister-in-law's dowry , so she knows your affairs very well and admires you very much.
She also said that although the second sister's business project is unclear, it must be excellent. The second younger sister is willing to pull us to make money together, how can she not know what is good or bad, and push the opportunity out. "
Gu Jiu was in admiration that Mrs. Hu was the truly transparent person.
She has never communicated with Mrs. Hu, and Mrs. Hu made such a judgment based on Zhenbaozhai, which is really amazing.
Gu Teng has a good vision and married a good wife. Hu is definitely a good wife.
"Congratulations to Sixth Brother for marrying a good wife."
The corners of Gu Cheng's brows and eyes couldn't hide his joy, "Your sister-in-law is a very independent person. I am very relieved to have her take care of the inner courtyard."
Gu Jiu was curious, "Is sister-in-law taking care of the inner courtyard now?"
