Yan Niang's statement greatly shocked the girls, and they began to seriously consider whether to borrow money or invest.
Cherry girl, who was pretty, slightly older, and still clutching her youthful tail, spoke hesitantly.
"Mom, we all know men well. Can you trust Zhang Tianci and Mr. Xiao? It's not easy for us to save this little money for selling jokes. We will still be counting on it for the rest of our lives." These words expressed the thoughts of many girls, and they all watched eagerly. They were looking after Yan Niang, and they trusted Yan Niang, but this matter was too big after all.
Yan Niang nodded solemnly. She knew how important her statement was at this time. This was not only Xiao Feng's commission, but also the sisters' commission.
"I believe in Young Master Xiao's character, and I also believe that Young Master Xiao can protect Chunyan Tower. Just yesterday, Eunuch Chen called me to the Jiaofang Department and said that he was considering Zhang Tianci's suggestion of saving pension money for the women in the brothel. You may not know Eunuch Chen, but I do. He never speaks easily, let alone listens to what others say. Zhang Tianci’s grain store and construction team have already implemented the pension money system. If we girls in brothels really implement it, Such a system shows that the court really treats us as ordinary people! Cherry, you followed me earlier than them. After all these years, besides Mr. Xiao, has anyone else fought for these interests for us? Does anyone else care? Can you pass us?" Cherry nodded: "What mom said is true. The Pork King also told me that Zhang Tianci also appealed to the bosses of all industries in the business to give the guys a guarantee, and everyone is doing their best. Peace of mind." The girls were in high spirits and chattering among themselves. Miss Yun sighed, her face turned pale, and she covered her stomach with her hands.
"But I heard that the one who is running against Zhang Tianci this time is the entire Strict Party. Mother knows better than us how powerful the Strict Party is. When they compete, our Chunyan Tower is like an egg sandwiched between two boulders. If we don't hide, Open up, no matter who wins in the end, we will all suffer. In the past two days, many officials have stopped coming to our Chunyan Building. They would rather go to other buildings to play. Mom, didn't you notice? Can we try not to get involved? Is this a good thing?" The girls also felt that it made sense. To lend money to Xiao Feng at this time was actually to blatantly take sides in the battle between Xiao and Yan.
Although Zhang Tianci is half the boss of Chunyan Tower, this half boss changes frequently! Maybe the next boss will be an agent of the Yan Party after victory!
What will happen to the girls who borrowed money or even bought shares? Yan Niang took a deep breath, her face turned a little pale, but her tone remained firm.
"What Xiaoyun said makes sense, so Mr. Xiao also made it clear that the loan this time is entirely voluntary. I can tell you that I have chosen to stand by Mr. Xiao completely. No matter what choice you make today, I can I promise, Mr. Xiao will not have any dissatisfaction, and I will not look at you differently." After saying this, everyone fell into silence again.
After a long time, Miss Shui, whose face was buried deep in her sleeves, raised her red face and made a sound like a mosquito.
"Mom, I still have some jewelry. You can sell it for me tomorrow. It can be worth several thousand taels of silver..." Cherry stood up and said loudly: "Mom, I have never been a red card girl, so I only have a total of savings. I have a net worth of five thousand taels. Three thousand taels are jewelry and I won’t sell them. For those two thousand taels of silver, I am willing to buy shares!" The girls stood up one by one. Either three thousand or two thousand, and Yan Niang took out a piece of paper. Come, take note of the account carefully, and finally ask everyone to sign and fingerprint it together.
Miss Huo stood up, and Miss Yun gently tugged on her skirt. Girl Huo knew that Miss Yun was the best for herself, so she held Miss Yun's hand with her backhand and announced loudly.
"Mom, I offer 10,000 taels, but I have a request! Remember the 10,000 taels in my name, but tell Mr. Xiao that it is 5,000 taels for me and Xiaoyun each!" Yan Niang thought for a moment and already I understood what Miss Huo meant, and what I told Xiao Feng was verbal, so that Xiao Feng would not bear his grudge against Miss Yun; what fell on the paper was in writing. If the Yan Party gains power in the future and gets this list, then Miss Yun will naturally not risk.
Yan Niang glanced at Miss Huo appreciatively, nodded, and wrote down her name. Miss Yun looked up at Miss Huo, her face full of worry and apology.
She suddenly stood up, her face turned pale, and she slowly walked back to her house, holding her stomach. Miss Huo looked at everyone's gazes and laughed softly: "What are you looking at? Haven't you been here to live a small life?" Of course everyone has been here, so everyone also understands that although it is uncomfortable, it is not that bad.
But everyone nodded tacitly. Of course they could understand Miss Yun's worries. Moreover, Miss Yun provided everyone with a good example. Several timid girls also decided to remain neutral and followed suit and returned to the house holding their stomachs.
Most of the girls donated their money generously, or expressed their willingness to buy shares, or were willing to receive some interest, and Yan Niang recorded them one by one.
This is the origin of Zhang Tianci's money, and the reason why Xiao Feng bowed to everyone at this time.
These girls helped him during his most difficult time, and he must express his gratitude in person. However, Miss Shui heard some rumors and asked Xiao Feng quietly.
"I heard it's still about 10,000 yuan short. Why don't you let mom chip in? Although we don't have any cash on hand, everyone's jewelry hasn't been sold yet." Xiao Feng smiled and shook his head: "Your jewelry can't be sold. . Let Chunyan Tower raise money. Although this matter cannot be hidden in the end, it can't be made too public. If you all go to sell jewelry, it will really cause trouble in the city. Don't worry, I will take care of the ten thousand taels of silver myself. There is a way." The next day, it was finally time for the opening of Zuixian Tower!
Throughout the capital, all the rich and powerful people had arrived, and the entire street was blocked by carriages and sedan chairs. It was comparable to the East Third Ring Road of the Imperial Capital at seven or eight o'clock in later generations.
And they didn't come unprepared. Many families sent their servants to line up at the entrance of Zuixian Tower in the middle of the night to get a seat.
Normally they would definitely not use it, because with their status, no matter which restaurant they go to, the boss will naturally take care of them first.
Even if the boss doesn't care, the civilians who came first don't dare to argue with them about order and compete for seats. But the first day of opening after the God of Cookery Competition is different every year. The restaurant where the God of Cookery is located must be full, and the people who come are not ordinary people, but people with status, and they may meet their peers or even their superiors.
Therefore, let the servants line up in advance. If they meet someone of equal rank, they can be reasonable, and if they meet someone of superior level, they can also give a favor.
As for meeting someone at a lower level, there's nothing to say, just get in there. Although the God of Cookery has not changed for more than 20 years, every year after Shi Zhenxiang is re-elected as the God of Cookery, Taibai Residence will still be crowded with dignitaries and rich people the next day.
What is this mentality like? If Xiao Feng was asked to compare it, the most appropriate metaphor he could think of was that every New Year's Day, rich and powerful people rush to burn incense in a famous temple.
And for a certain brothel girl, it was the first time she had a red card. Even regular customers before she was famous were rushing to be the first customer after the business was listed.
This is called style, it is the embodiment of identity! If you want to enjoy it, enjoy the scarce resources! It's a pity that these powerful people and rich people came to Zuixian Tower excitedly, but found that things did not go as smoothly as they thought.
Zuixian Tower is open, but there are too many people coming, and Zuixian Tower is not like Taibai Ju, which annexes the surrounding houses, and has a large number of seats and manpower.
Although Zhang Tianci sent two clerks from his grain store to help, these few people were unable to withstand the enthusiastic customers.
There were more people and chaos, and some people deliberately blocked the queue, so the queue was suddenly in chaos. The servants blamed each other, and the people from the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division watched the situation on the roadside, and quickly took action to maintain order if something went wrong.
The dignitaries who arrived all frowned, thinking that this boss really has no eyesight, why didn't he speak out?
Opposite the deserted Taibai Curie, the guys were all happy and gloating about this mess. Shi Zhenxiang, who was standing on the railing on the second floor, also smiled.
It seems that Chen Zhonghou and Liu Ruyun are running the business poorly and have long forgotten how they managed Zuixianlou when it was very popular.
Zhang Tianci doesn't understand the catering industry. They opened the business in such a chaotic manner, so what's the use of having the title of God of Cookery?
Every year, there will be so many dignitaries at the gate of Taibaiju on the first day. I just need to come forward and ask the adults to rank them according to their official positions. Whoever is higher will go first, and whoever is lower will wait. How easy is it?
As for ordinary people, no matter how rich they are, they can only go to the back of the queue! This is a rule, something everyone agrees on, and you don’t even have to waste words!
When Shi Zhenxiang was happy, he saw Zhang Tianci getting out from among the guys blocking the door and shouting loudly.
"Dear guests, distinguished guests! Zuixianlou is opening today. If you can come and support us, our Zuixianlou will be in full bloom! Logically speaking, so many people should queue up, but the queue is already in chaos. If you wait in line any longer, I guess everyone has a dispute, and maybe they will start a fight! So I have an idea that can help everyone solve the problem fairly and peacefully. Please be kind to me!" The dignitaries nodded one after another, thinking that it would have been like this earlier. !
Taibaiju opposite has already had mature experience, so you should learn from it! Shi Zhenxiang was slightly disappointed and sighed: "After all the hard work, you still have to imitate me. What's the big deal!" Zhang Tianci wiped his sweat, glanced down at the small note Xiao Feng gave him, confirmed it again and again, and finally bit it. Gritting his teeth, he raised his head and shouted.
"Zui Xian Tower adopts a membership system, and those who apply for membership cards will be given priority! A pre-deposit of 100 taels will be made for the silver card, a pre-deposit of 200 taels for the gold card, and a pre-deposit of 500 taels for the gem card! Whoever has a higher card level will be given priority!" Everyone said. I was stunned, what does this mean?
I understand the meaning, but isn't it that whoever has the money gets priority? So how should I calculate my status?
Could it be that I, a high-ranking official in the imperial court, have to rank behind a wealthy businessman? The servants of the powerful and powerful people had already shouted, saying that this was wrong.
Zhang Tianci quickly looked at the note again and found the corresponding answer.
"Everyone, there is no other way to do this. Taibaiju opposite is sorted by official position and title, but this is actually creating conflicts for everyone! Everyone thinks, how can official positions and titles be compared? How can titles and bloodline be compared? What? You are a high-ranking official in the current dynasty. Do you dare to say that you are nobler than the young master of Tian family blood in front of you?" These words resonated with the young master, although he no longer had a title or official position in his generation. , but my surname is Zhu!
Which of you dares to say that you are nobler than me? Everyone had never thought about the problem in this way before, but now that they think about it, is there really something wrong with sorting by identity?
There is no comparison between official position and title, let alone bloodline. Compared to real power? Although they are well aware of this, people in the officialdom know best who has the real power. People who own restaurants may not know it!
From this point of view, comparing who is richer seems to be the fairest way, but naturally some people still have questions.
"Boss Zhang, your pricing is too expensive. Even the lowest silver card, one hundred taels of silver, how many meals does it take to finish it? Not to mention the gold card and gem card, how long does it cost? Can you spend it all?"
