"Shopkeeper Sun, I heard that your shop has opened, so I came here uninvited. In order to express my gratitude to Haihan, I prepared a small gift. This is not only an apology but also a wish for good fortune for your shop!"
Amid everyone's confusion, Cao San walked to the gate and cupped his hands towards Sun Chunyang. Before Sun Chunyang could speak, Cao San turned his head and waved to the back: "Bring it up!"
Four people came up carrying a flat plate covered with red silk. It looked like it was extremely difficult, and the rope made a rattling sound.
It was decided that the Caobang people would come to support the occasion, but he really didn't know what gifts they would give.
"Shopkeeper Sun, please!"
In the curious eyes of everyone, Sun Chunyang stepped forward and pulled off the red silk, and thousands of golden lights burst out. After everyone adapted, they all exclaimed.
What was revealed to everyone was a three-legged golden toad with a string of money on its back, a fat body, full of wealth and self-sufficiency. The most important thing is that this golden toad is one foot long, half a foot high and wide, and has a golden body.
It can't be gold, right? As soon as this idea came up, Cao San's words confirmed their guess.
"Shopkeeper Sun, I'm a member of the world. I don't have much ink, so I just give you some common things.
This golden toad is made of pure gold and weighs one hundred and eighty-eight kilograms and eight taels of gold. Your store brings its own wealth. I would like to give you this golden toad, which is the icing on the cake! "
hiss……
Listening to Cao San's words, the onlookers took a deep breath.
This fucking toad is a real golden toad, with nearly two hundred kilograms of gold, which is 20,000 taels of silver. With the engraving and rarity, it is worth at least 50,000 taels of silver, which is a lot of money.
They had seen gold before, including whole boxes of gold, but they had never seen such a large piece of gold, and it was even made into a golden toad.
The most important thing is that the Caobang came here on their own initiative, for fear of offending Sun Chunyang. When did the people in the Caobang become so easy to talk to?
"Shopkeeper Sun, the boss asked me to give you a message. If your store has any needs in the future, just ask someone to send a message to me.
The gang will definitely do everything they can to help you, whether it’s money, people, materials, etc., you just ask! "
"Master Cao, please thank the gang leader on your behalf. When I'm done, I'll have a drink in Suzhou City to thank you. Please be sure to appreciate it!"
"Hahaha, I will definitely bring this to you! Today is the opening day of your store, so I won't disturb you. You can just go about your business!"
After saying this, Cao Sanyou turned to look at the crowd of onlookers: "Everyone, the gang leader asked me to give you a message. When doing business, everyone depends on their own methods, and the outcome is determined by themselves. We won't say anything.
But if you dare to do things behind your back, you are making enemies of our 30,000 brothers in the Cao Gang. The Cao Gang is very angry and the consequences will be serious. You should take care of yourself! "
After Cao San finished speaking, he walked down the steps and walked out of the crowd.
This scene made everyone talk a lot. The Cao Gang is definitely the largest gang in the entire Nanzhi... Anhui, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang, and it is a gang that cooperates with the imperial court.
Such a behemoth has come, whether it has been a gift or a promise, what is the background behind this shop?
Cao San's last words made everyone frightened, and all their thoughts disappeared at this moment.
The person who had just announced that he wanted to cooperate looked at Sun Chunyang and wanted to swallow him up. With the Caobang route, even if it was a loss to cooperate with Sun Chunyang, other routes could still make a lot of money.
Before everyone could think about it, another voice came: "Master Zhou, the envoy of Jiangsu Province and governor of the canal patrol, Zhou Tingru, the governor of Suzhou, has arrived!"
A loud shout came from behind the crowd, and the crowd slowly dispersed into a passage. Zhou Tingru walked out of the sedan, looked at Sun Chunyang, and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Sun, I'm here uninvited, please forgive me!"
"Commissioner Zhou You was joking. It's too late for me to be happy that you can come to support me. Just now I was worried about the lack of an important guest for the unveiling of the plaque. I wonder if Mr. Zhou is willing to unveil the store?"
"Hahaha, it's easy to say. Shopkeeper Sun opened such a big shop under my rule and benefited the people. It's just a mere unveiling. If you don't tell me, I will be shameless and take advantage of it!"
After Zhou Tingru finished speaking, he turned around and looked at the people watching: "Dear neighbors, this shop has paid a guarantee of 300,000 taels of silver at the prefect's Yamen.
If there are any counterfeit goods, etc., and if the payment is not handed over in time, you can file a complaint to the prefect’s Yamen, and the prefect will make the decision for you.
But this magistrate has said ugly things in front of everyone, and everyone relies on their own means and competes fairly. I can't control these things, and I don't bother to control them. But if you use some dirty tricks, the fate of those people some time ago will be your fate.
Whoever causes trouble for me, I will let you test whether my butcher knife is sharp or not.
Today is Shopkeeper Sun’s home court, so I won’t say much more. That’s it, you can take care of yourself! "
"Thank you so much, Mr. Zhou. Please take a rest next to Mr. Zhou and wait for the auspicious time!"
"Shopkeeper Sun is going to do his own business. I can take a look at it as I please!"
Sun Chunyang cupped his hands towards Zhou Tingru, and then looked at the crowd.
The conversation between the two shocked the onlookers.
Who is Zhou Tingru? That was the former Minister of Rites, the real executor of the bloodbath in Suzhou officialdom and shopping malls after he was reactivated.
Taking this as a starting point, the largest anti-corruption movement since the founding of the People's Republic of China was launched directly in South Zhili. A group of officials in South Zhili were replaced, and countless businessmen involved had their homes confiscated and their families exterminated.
Moreover, the emperor was so angry that he abolished Nanjing, the capital that had existed since the founding of the People's Republic of China, and split up Southern Zhili.
Nowadays, he is the envoy to the right, censor of patrol, and prefect of Suzhou. In terms of power, he is definitely the number one person in Jiangsu.
There is nothing wrong with doing business, making friends with people in the world, and being in charge of the canal, but why are people from the government here too?
There is the Cao Gang in the underworld, and there is the most powerful official in Jiangsu in the officialdom. Both the black and white factions take advantage of each other. Who dares to cause trouble?
It's no wonder that at the beginning, Sun Chunyang said that his employer had promised him a salary of thirty years. It was difficult to think about it with such a background.
Two big shots from the Caobang and Jiangsu official circles came to congratulate him, while others thought they were all doing business in the city and came to go through the motions.
At this time, giving gifts would be a slap in the face to Sun Chunyang and the person behind him.
"The auspicious time has come!"
A loud shout sounded, and the firecrackers that had been prepared were instantly lit, with crackling sounds and smoke rising everywhere.
At the same time, Sun Chunyang and Zhou Tingru each pulled the red silk on the plaque and pulled it gently. The red silk slipped away, revealing the five golden characters of 'Department Store Supply and Marketing Cooperative' on the plaque.
Then the two people pulled down the red silk on both sides of the couplets, exposing the couplets on both sides.
First couplet: On Yangguan Avenue, you can enter Bafang Famous Products Department Store, which is convenient and bustling with customers.
Second line: The right people and the right location, all kinds of high-quality products from all over the world, win through sincerity, and the business is prosperous.
Horizontal batch: Huichuan Nahai
Looking at the plaque and couplets, and then looking at the couplets, everyone was shocked again.
The couplet cannot be said to be very good, but it is clearly visible.
Famous products from all over the world, high-quality products from all over the world, these two sentences are simply too bragging, but they are the confidence they show.
Convenience in every detail and win with sincerity, this is the business principle of the store.
