Ning Yi met Yunzhu and Jin'er while wandering in the afternoon. Recently, the construction of the Zhuji branch has stopped for a while for the Chinese New Year, but seeing that the New Year's Eve is approaching and the work has to start again, Ning Yi has been busy for a while, and when he is free, he will be pulled over to take a look. And Yunzhu had some purchases in the middle of the way to let people know a few words, so Jin'er came first to accompany the branch.
In fact, the decoration of the store has basically taken shape now, and there are not many things that need to be decided by Ning Yi. As for the name of the store, the second store or the Jin'er store, Ning Yi didn't mind. At this time, the restaurant was built next to the river, and many windows were not installed. There was even some snow drifting in on one side of the tuyere. Fortunately, both of them were dressed a lot. He felt this way himself, and Yuan Jin'er was always lively. Not long ago, he boasted that he could take a bath in the river under heavy snow, but he wouldn't feel cold. At this time, there was a chat.
"When the store here is ready, I decided to perform on stage for three days to gather popularity."
"I haven't performed for a long time, everyone is rusty."
"Go away, I only perform in front of Sister Yunzhu... uh, what do you think?"
"I've never seen it, it must be bad."
"I said I was going to perform on stage."
"...you know it yourself, don't add any more confusion."
Although it seems that they have different temperaments, Jin'er still admires Ning Yi in many major events. She naturally has high hopes for the shop with her own name on it, and she said that she wants to perform on stage to gather popularity, but Ning Yi said this, she He pouted, and didn't mention it again.
"Then we can only find the former sisters, it's very expensive." Jin'er dragged a stool and sat down in the hall to find a shelter from the wind. She was popular and played a big role in finding a relationship for Zhuji. , but in fact, the concept of money is not very three-dimensional. Sometimes Yunzhu settles accounts, and she watches from the side. She is always angry about spending, and she is very stingy.
"You can make a name for yourself, and you don't have to accompany a stinky man like me. It's a win-win situation." Ning Yi put a few stools on the round table, cleared the space, and said with a smile, "Also, Zhuji will really grow in the future, You can train a group of performers yourself.”
"Cultivation..." Jin'er blinked and whispered, "Do you want to open a brothel?"
"Why are you so obscene!" Ning Yi glared at her, "In the future... when the scale of Zhuji becomes very large, you can train some girls, even men, and you can teach and learn all kinds of things. We can form a team to do everything from opera and singing to juggling and juggling. Anyway, there are many children outside who can’t eat, so it can be considered a good deed to solve the problem of surplus labor.”
Listening to Ning Yi's plan and outlook, Jin'er was stunned for a while: "Then... it's very expensive. If you don't open a brothel and only perform, the grass stage crew won't make much money at all, and... how big does it need to be..." She didn't at all. The way to imagine these things is that if you just run around and perform, isn't it no different from the grass stage crew performing operas? Who is willing to spend a lot of money for this kind of thing.
"Once there are more than three branches, it's almost time for chickens to lay eggs. Then we will make a process and let it split slowly." Ning Yi wrote something about the layout of the store on a piece of paper, " The important thing is... the collusion between officials and businessmen, Yun Zhu is relatively familiar with the old Qin family, and also knows the concubine Kang... The old man owes me a lot of things recently, so that at least the whole process can be guaranteed to go smoothly, step by step, and not be disturbed by the government. There are too many, there is also a way to go through the back door... "
He paused: "The key is to be high-end, to develop to the south, Suzhou and Hangzhou in the past, and supporting entertainment will gradually be developed. As long as the management and publicity are proper, there will always be business. This Wu Dynasty... Anyway, it is poor. There's only money left. Of course, it depends on whether you like it too big, or you can stop at any time."
In terms of these businesses, Ning Yi has sufficient operational research capabilities. What's more, the most important thing in doing business these days is not operational research, but the backing, so that Zhuji's business can go through the power of the Concubine's House. This is not too polite, the problem is not big. In the past, every time she talked about this to Yunzhu and the others, when Jin'er heard it, she was surprised, thinking that she might become a millionaire in the future, and thinking that this guy was too daring to say it, she didn't believe it. Woolen cloth.
While talking like this, Yunzhu had also come in from outside the restaurant, closing the door and looking at the road ahead. She is different from Jin'er. Jin'er sometimes looks like a man, but Yunzhu is usually just a woman's dress. At most, the color is monotonous. It looks a bit rustic from a distance, but her beautiful appearance can't be concealed when you look at it up close. Seeing her coming, Jin'er laughed and rushed over, followed by looking around: "What is Sister Yunzhu looking at?"
"Uh, I seem to have seen it just now... Miss Qilan passed by this way, maybe I saw it wrong."
"Qilan?" Jin'er pushed open the door and took a few glances, "It's a coincidence, but anyway, I didn't know her very well before. There was Liangzi in the Hua Kui Competition, so it must have nothing to do with us."
"When did you have a relationship with Qilan again..."
"She took the Hua Kui, and the surnamed Ning also gave her two thousand flowers, which made me lose face. This beam is big enough."
Yuan Jin'er didn't want to compete for the oiran at first, but this is the only thing, and he brought it up once to accuse Ning Yi of being shameless. Yunzhu laughed while listening to Puchi, while Ning Yi patted his forehead helplessly. He was not far from the snowdrift under the window on the side of the hall. At this time, he walked over silently and picked up a snowball. Jin'er's expression froze. , want to escape. Yunzhu laughed: "Okay, hit her."
Ning Yi didn't have any feeling of pity and cherishing jade, especially for Yuan Jin'er, who was always provocative, with a wave of his hand, a snowball whistled. Jin'er hugged her head and let out a low "ah". She originally thought that she would take revenge after being hit, but the next moment, snowflakes flew.
Yunzhu shrank her neck and didn't react at all, the snowball splashed on her head. Ning Yi kept throwing the snowball and was stunned for a while. Jin'er held back her laughter, and after a while, her whole face was bulging.
"It's still a martial arts master... Even the snowballs can't hit..." Yunzhu patted the snow on his head, slumped his shoulders, his eyes were slightly resentful, and then pursed his mouth and started to walk out, Jin'er followed out with a smile, two women Start pinching snowballs under the eaves.
"Hey, the flood washed the Dragon King Temple, this is a misunderstanding... Yunzhu, you are more sensible than Jin'er, you can't be like this..."
****************
Facts have proved that even sensible people will not be willing to be beaten for nothing. When the three of them came from the hall soon after, Ning Yi slapped the snow foam on his body with a helpless expression.
"Hidden weapon kung fu also has to be practiced well..."
"This shows that your hidden weapon skills are not as good as ours." Yuan Jin'er tidied her hair, as if she had just been raped, and then turned to look at the shop that was still to be renovated, "It was in February. Can it be opened?"
"Yeah." Ning Yi nodded, "Second shop."
"Jin'er shop!"
"Okay, you have the final say..."
It's getting late, and I've probably finished talking about the details of the store decoration - in fact, it's not the point in itself. The three separated on the street, Yunzhu and Jin'er took the carriage back, while Ning Yi went home from the other side.
The weather is still cold, and the snow is thick in the city. All the way home, looking at the shops and teahouses with doors open on both sides of the road, and the looks of pedestrians between the roads, seems to indicate that this year is still a peaceful year. Ning Yi thought about the development of Zhuji. These things sounded like business, but to him, it was similar to the operation of a house wine.
Intellectually speaking, he tends to develop to the south. After all, the Wu Dynasty is weak, and the Liao people or the Jin people, no matter how the situation develops, may be killed by the north in the future, and the south will definitely be more peaceful, just thinking about it, I also remembered what I told Lu Hongti about doing business in Luliangshan in the future. In this way, it is very difficult to do it, especially in a poor area, and now there are Tianhu chaos, I really want to do business in the future, I'm afraid I have to go another way.
Ning Yi had the intention to start the business. Of course, it wasn't for the boring achievements of a national chain. The main reason was actually for the invention of weapons in the future. I will definitely do this in the future. If I can do it, I don't want to give it to Kang Xian directly. The reasons are very complicated.
In the first place, half-baked firearms are of little significance. If they really want to play a big role in turning the tide, Ning Yi needs to intervene in many places. In this way, he must come out to do things. There is an intrigue in the officialdom, and there is an emperor on it. Ning Yi is used to being a high-ranking person. It's not that he can't deal with intrigue, but it must be annoying. He doesn't like this model of always pointing fingers. Second, he has no sense of identity with the court, but he does agree with Lu Hong. More, he admires this strong and powerful woman, if possible, he might as well help her.
Of course, when a thought expands to the scope of "country", it will always appear extremely vain in terms of specific considerations. Now it seems a bit exaggerated to think of a national chain with only two stores. The scope of Ning Yi's activities now is only in Jiangning City. Recently, he ran around with Tan'er for New Year's greetings, and most of what he came into contact with on weekdays was mostly trivial matters at home or in the shopping mall.
This is not the age of information explosion, any passerby can talk about politics and patriotism. Looking at history, future generations may be able to see how many patriots there are, how tragic and somber stories, but in fact, in the current society, the war in the north may be an extremely vague concept, and the business may be with the Liao people. The merchants of the Confucianism have contact with them, but the Confucian scholars who talked about them in the brothel and painted boats are actually not clear about the Jinren.
Ning Yi only learned a few words of information from the occasional chat between Qin Lao and Kang Lao. What I have more contact with is just the leisurely life in Jiangning City, the quiet bamboo forest near the academy, a group of children shaking their heads while reading, and the wife's smile or playfulness while chatting while keeping accounts at home. These things are more realistic after all. thing.
But there are some feelings, which are gradually expanding. The officials who visited Mr. Qin during the New Year's Eve made the old man's identity more complex and three-dimensional. One thing is probably certain. In the future, Mr. Qin should not be able to go to Qinhuai again. There is a chess stand by the river. Ning Yi didn't know exactly what Mr. Qin did, so he could only draw a rough outline based on what others said. The old man is extremely calm in this regard, and he never talks about these things in the usual chat, but since the end of the year, Ning Yi can clearly feel some tension, whether it is old Qin or Kang Xian, everyone Waiting for something to happen in the north.
But what was waiting for has not come yet.
In the spring of this year, Jin and Liao signed an armistice agreement. It seems that the upcoming war has suddenly become a distant future...
