The wind became stronger and stronger, rushing across the sky and howling between the earth and the sky.
Whirring sounds outside can also be heard inside the house.
Fortunately, there was a thick curtain hanging outside the door, so no wind could get through.
Xu Nuo understood Shopkeeper Liu's question, coughed slightly and said directly: "Shopkeeper Liu, you are right, these Xixia horses are originally from Xixia. It was already very difficult for me to get these fifty horses, and they will indeed be gone in the future. "
Shopkeeper Liu nodded understandingly.
"If we just deal with these dozens of horses, there is no need for you to come out. But now we have opened a racecourse. How to maintain the business of the racecourse and maintain a steady flow of money depends on you. Selling price and sales strategy , the subsequent maintenance methods are all up to you.”
Xu Nuo was spoken in a calm and low voice, but each word fell into Shopkeeper Liu's heart.
Is this delegating power?
Yes! It’s delegating power.
He heard clearly that he had the final say in the racecourse business!
He has the final say, so it’s not just about selling things, collecting money, and settling accounts for the boss!
He decides what to sell, how to sell it, and how much to sell it for!
This was something he had always wanted to do but never had the chance to do.
Shopkeeper Liu's heart was filled with huge waves, but the expression on his face remained unchanged at all. He clasped his fists while accepting the promise.
At the same time, he went through the matter many times in his mind to make sure that what Xu Nuo said was what he thought and not his imagination.
"Shopkeeper, you have worked so hard these days." Xu Nuo stood up, straightened his clothes, picked up a few folded papers and handed them to him, "This paper contains some of my ideas, you can refer to them."
Shopkeeper Liu smiled and took it with both hands and put it into his sleeves.
Xu promised not to say more and left quickly. Shopkeeper Liu walked all the way to the outside of Zhuangzi.
Shopkeeper Liu was in his early forties and originally managed several Jun Kiln shops for Zhu Shang. After handing over the shops to his eldest son last year, he basically stayed at home.
Xu Nuo met Shopkeeper Liu several times when she was in Suzhou, but at that time she was the sixth wife of the Xu family, not Boss Lu. Therefore, she knew Shopkeeper Liu fairly well and knew that he was trustworthy, flexible and prudent.
This time when she had to deal with the Xixia horses, the first thing she thought of was him.
Returning to Xu Mansion, Xu Nuo leisurely ordered some tea to drive away the coldness brought by the journey.
Dali also got a cup of tea, covering the cup with both hands and reported to her about escorting Hu Ling and their subsequent situation in Xixia.
Xu Nuo knew that the situation was dangerous at that time, but he did not expect that Li Deming would be so bold and unbridled that he almost imprisoned Zhu Shang and Hu Ling in Xixia Mansion. Fortunately, secret guards were arranged at that time, and Zhu Shang asked for a group of more secret guards. Otherwise, it would be even more difficult for them to get out of Xixia Mansion during this trip.
When she was about to let Dali go back, she suddenly remembered something: "Dali, just wait." She quickly walked to the bookshelf, took out a thin account book from the bottom layer, sat down and rummaged through it.
Dali, who had already stood up, sat down again.
He used to protect Xu Nuo in secret, and guarded Hu Ling in secret for more than half a year, but now he felt a little awkward sitting face to face with Xu Nuo. He was used to staying in the dark, and he was as decisive and agile as a cheetah in killing. At this moment, he didn't know where to put his hands.
Xu Nuo didn't notice, holding the account book and asked him: "Did Mr. Beijiang ask you to bring anything back for him?"
Dali took out a piece of jade from his arms and handed it to Xu Nuo, saying: "Sixth lady, Mr. Beijiang asked me to take his silver back. This money will be deducted from his expenses with you this year, including his and Used by the two secret guards of Madam Hu Sanniang."
This was specially arranged by Mr. Beijiang before they set off.
Hearing the use of the secret guard, Xu Nuo chuckled. Zhu Shang was going to settle the score with her brother Ming Ming.
The secret guards sent to protect Hu Ling and support Zhu Shang were indeed a large expense.
Cultivating secret guards and providing them with their needs is different from raising a servant. It is basically like raising a wife in a wealthy family. If it is a top secret guard, it will be as laborious as raising a husband.
Originally, he wanted to use the money from selling the horses to cover the expenses of the secret guard, but he didn't expect that Zhu Shang had to figure it out.
That's fine too.
"I understand. You need to repair it for a few days. Before you leave, I will give you the money and the list." Xu Nuo said, putting down the account book.
This money was supposed to be given to Zhu Shang six months ago, but due to capital flow problems, it has only just been available now.
This account book is what she recorded about the remuneration that Zhu merchants should receive from various industries and the shops under the industries.
Zhu Shang didn't use many secret guards in the past. The source of information mainly relied on the network of businessmen. After she took over, she was too far away from Suzhou and could not use Zhu Shang's accumulated contacts. She missed opportunities several times, causing the business to stagnate. .
Later, I accidentally discovered that secret guards were faster at inquiring about such information, so I came up with the idea of increasing the number of secret guards to train.
She used to be a special police officer, and she has not stopped training in the more than two years since she came to Xu's house, and her skills are no worse than in her previous life. Her skills were on par with ordinary secret guards. After she proposed the idea of adding more people, she quickly gained approval from the original secret guards and no one raised any objections.
The implementation of this matter was unexpectedly smooth.
On the other side, after sending away the promise, shopkeeper Liu walked in the corridor with his hands behind his back, his back straight, and he looked at the branches in the courtyard as he walked. Not afraid of the wind passing through the courtyard.
I thought to myself that after the New Year, these flowers and plants will be green.
Slowly returning to the house, the waiter immediately came forward with tea and moved the brazier towards him.
He touched the teacup with his fingertips.
Still a little hot.
He took out the paper promised to him from his sleeve and opened it gently.
In just a moment, his expression changed from confusion to shock to joy.
His thoughts were spinning and his eyes were shining.
He took a sip of hot tea and hurriedly walked out while calling someone.
The whole Zhuangzi was in full swing.
A few days later, there was a crowd of people in front of a house.
"Is this horse a Xixia horse?"
"Looking at this form, it is indeed the same, and it is relatively superior."
"I wonder where this horse came from?"
"There will always be bold people who go to Xixia."
"The horse is a good horse, but the price is really high, and the one with the highest price gets it."
“The key is to only sell one horse a day.”
Shopkeeper Liu rented a courtyard, brought three horses, and let out some news. Two hours later, the courtyard was full of people.
Xixia horses have not been seen in Bianjing for a long time, and they are for sale, so as soon as they got the news, almost everyone who could come came.
There is a small garden in this house, surrounded by wing rooms. Charcoal fires and tables are placed in each room, and seating is prepared in the pavilion in the garden.
Horses roamed the garden, while bidders sat in the wings.
Because it was winter, there were no branches and leaves to block the horses, and the horses could be seen from the window of the side room.
The horse sales started at Shenzhen. People who came early ordered tea and snacks from across the street and ate snacks while waiting for the sales of the horses.
