Bai Sanzhuang waited until evening before successfully entering the door of Shen's house.
After taking Grandma Sun's post, a young steward, Grandma Sun's son Steward Ding, introduced him to the second door.
Manager Ding checked the Qingrong gauze, made sure it was fine, and paid Bai Sanzhuang the remaining silver.
"Shopkeeper Bai, please stay."
When Bai Sanzhuang stood up to leave, he was stopped by Manager Ding.
"Manager Ding."
Bai Sanzhuang stopped.
"Shopkeeper Bai, please take a moment to speak." Manager Ding led Bai Sanzhuang to a deserted place.
"My wife is very satisfied with your silk yarn and the speed of your delivery. From now on, we are looking for a reliable person for the silk stall in our house." Manager Ding said.
Bai Sanzhuang groaned and said there was no interface.
If Qing Rongsha's needs are all handed over to Bai Sanzhuang in the future, he will agree to the business without hesitation. But the problem is that the Shen Mansion started with silk, especially Shu Brocade, which was introduced to Huaicheng by Shen Junshan. Although the Shen family's business focus is no longer on silk, the Shen family's power in the silk market still cannot be underestimated.
Seeing the hesitation on Bai Sanzhuang's face, Manager Ding said, "I know what Shopkeeper Bai is thinking. To tell you the truth, my husband had an accident when he went to Sichuan to transport silk. Therefore, in these years, our business has begun to shift. In addition, the silk business can be left alone if possible... but it would be a pity to lose this business..."
Manager Ding did not speak clearly, but as a businessman, Bai Sanzhuang understood it clearly.
This is the silk market where Bai Sanzhuang hopes to take over Shenfu.
"What percentage does your mansion plan to share?" Bai Sanzhuang was a little moved and asked straight to the point.
"Forty percent." Manager Ding smiled.
Forty percent is reasonable.
After all, Shen's name is worth 40% of the money in the business world.
Bai Sanzhuang still had doubts in his heart and asked: "Tell the truth, Manager Ding. With the ability of your house, there are many shops that are willing to cooperate. I am a small stall hawker in Nanguan Town. How can I join your house?" The blue eyes of the government?"
Manager Ding seemed to have expected that Bai Sanzhuang would ask this question, and said with a smile: "Let me give you a thorough explanation. A few years ago, when you were working as a clerk in Xu's shop, you had the confidence to come to our house to deliver lacquerware. You left a deep impression on us, you are indeed a great person, you left Xu’s shop and opened your own shop in such a short period of time.”
Now Bai Sanzhuang was completely convinced.
Bai Sanzhuang thought that his parents had worked in the Shen Mansion, but neither Manager Ding nor Aunt Sun mentioned it. It seemed that they were not that clear about his details.
Also, there are only a few hundred servants in the Shen family's Daye Daguang family, and it is not necessarily the case that all the servants are familiar with each other.
Bai Sanzhuang didn't intend to get close to his parents by saying they worked in the Shen Mansion.
"Let me think about it and give Manager Ding an answer in three days." Bai Sanzhuang said.
"Okay, I'm sure Shopkeeper Bai won't miss such a big opportunity in vain." Seeing that Bai Sanzhuang had taken the bait, Manager Ding added more fire.
Faced with temptation, Bai Sanzhuang said he still had to consider it.
When Manager Ding sent Bai Sanzhuang out, Zhuang Ruo accidentally mentioned Xiao Fuyuan.
"It's a coincidence. Last time my mother went to Nanguan Town to visit relatives, she heard someone in the town say that there is a girl in Shenshu Village who has the same spiritual power as the lucky girl. Whoever touches her will be blessed. Have you heard of it, Shopkeeper Bai?"
When the men of the Bai family heard someone praising Xiao Fuyuan in person, no one could bear it.
Bai Sanzhuang was no exception. When he heard Manager Ding mention his sister, he couldn't help but his eyes lit up and his face lit up.
"The little girl you mentioned, that's my sister." Bai Sanzhuang began to ramble, "I'm not bragging about my sister, she's pretty and smart, and even the emperor in Beijing knows to give him the honor of being the head of the village... "
After all, Bai Sanzhuang was a businessman, unlike his eldest brother and his father who were as unscrupulous as he was talking and stopped immediately when he realized something.
"But what you mentioned about the lucky girl and who got her spirit are all lies. My sister is just prettier and smarter than other girls." Bai Sanzhuang explained calmly.
He suddenly realized that the whole thing was weird. What was the good manager Ding doing with his sister?
Manager Ding wanted to know more about Xiao Fuyuan, but Bai Sanzhuang suddenly shut up.
"Manager Ding, why are you asking my sister?" Bai Sanzhuang thought that instead of guessing, it would be better to ask directly.
Seeing Bai Sanzhuang's direct question, Manager Ding stopped hiding it and said directly: "To tell you the truth, my young master is about the same age as your sister, and both have good looks. He was given guidance by a master when he was born. , it is better to make a marriage arrangement early, and the girl should be a blessed girl in the Nanguan Mountain area. Shopkeeper Bai, we are destined to be together. If your sister gets engaged to our young master, your business..."
"Manager Ding, my sister is the darling of our family. She is not old enough for marriage yet, so don't mention it again in the future."
Bai Sanzhuang understood, and his face became angry after he understood.
What's the meaning?
I want him to sacrifice his sister to fulfill his business.
So what if the Shen family is the richest family in Huaicheng? Even if he doesn't do business, he will not use his sister as a springboard for business.
"Shopkeeper Bai, do you know the status of our Shen Mansion in the business world? The royal family's food, clothing, housing and transportation cannot be separated from our Shen Mansion. After your sister got engaged to our young master, your business is not just a small silk shop. I think you are quite You have ambitions, but ambitions must be carried out in the right way, right?" Manager Ding didn't expect Bai Sanzhuang to refuse, so the smile on his face disappeared and his attitude became cold.
The Shen family is the richest man in Huaicheng. How many people want to make friends with the Shen family? Not to mention the owner of a small silk shop, even the prefect has to give in to the Shen family.
These words sounded like a threat to Bai Sanzhuang's ears, meaning that the Shen family was rich and powerful, and a small figure like Bai Sanzhuang could not compete with it. If he didn't agree, even his small silk shop might not be able to be saved.
Bai Sanzhuang sneered in his heart, having figured out all the key points.
He asked why the Shen family servant happened to be visiting relatives in Nanguan Town and entered his shop with a smile. It turned out that everything was planned by the Shen family.
He wasn't annoyed by plotting against Bai Sanzhuang, but not by plotting against his sister.
"Manager Ding, I'd better tell your master the truth. I, Bai Sanzhuang, am not a villain who wants to trade my sister for profit. Even if I close the shop and go home to farm, I can't cheat my sister."
After Bai Sanzhuang finished speaking, he waved his sleeves and left the front door of Shen's house.
"I advise Shopkeeper Bai to think about it carefully. Even if you are the village owner, your sister is just a little country girl. It is her good fortune to be favored by our Shen family. If not..." Manager Ding raised his voice.
"Are you trying to threaten me? What if I don't? Let me tell you, if anything happens to my sister, I will fight to death and dare to bring down the emperor. If you don't believe me, try it."
Bai Sanzhuang responded unceremoniously.
