Zhou Lijun's eyes sparkled and he said: "The seller makes ointments, whitening creams and acne creams."

She said: "Sister-in-law, let's eat first. After the meal, I will settle the account for you."

Man Bao couldn't help but ask: "Does our family have so much money now?"

"Gongzhong doesn't have it," Zhou Lijun said: "Now most of the money from Gongzhong at home is in the hands of my fourth uncle."

But Zhou Lang is now on the grassland. By the way, Xiang Mingxue has also followed Zhou Lang to the grassland. He has only been there for a month, and he is probably still collecting various goods on the grassland.

He won't be back until at least the end of September.

So Zhou Lijun wants each family to contribute money. If my sister-in-law agrees, then half the battle will be won.

Man Bao asked: "How much money does Gongzhong have now?"

Zhou Lijun: "More than three hundred taels."

A lot. After all, when Zhou Lang came to the capital some time ago, he took out the account books and divided all the money earned from last autumn to this summer. Now the public money is still from selling ointments in the past few months and running restaurants.

Money returned to the public.

Man Bao suddenly became excited when she thought about the money she received this year and the money she brought back in exchange for the gems and spices, "Okay, buy it."

For those gemstones and spices that Manbao gave to Zhou Lang, Zhou Lang didn't even keep any hard-earned money. Basically, he brought back to her as much as he sold.

First I sold it in the capital, and then I went all the way south to Yizhou and made a lot of money. I sold everything I had and made a lot of money.

Add in the money shared from the public this year, and it’s even more.

But why does Zhou Lijun want to buy a shop?

You must know that they now rent a yard outside that specializes in making ointments and various creams. Old customers come directly to buy them, and sometimes they even bring new customers with them. They make a lot of money.

After dinner, Zhou Lijun held a cup of tea and talked to Zhou Man in the yard, "Originally, the work done by the fifth aunt and the others is limited, and these are the only people in the capital who can afford these whitening creams and anti-acne creams, so I thought

There is no need to buy a shop, but during this time because of the cowpox vaccination, many more people came to buy light seal ointment from us, and even some drug dealers from outside came to our door specially, so I think we need a shop, and a shop.

Good shop.”

Man Bao thought about it, "But we only have these kinds of creams, isn't it too little?"

Zhou Lijun said: "I used to think it was less, but I don't think so now. A lot of people have used our whitening cream in the past two years. Not only ladies use it, but some men also use it. Especially the anti-acne cream, the sales volume is very good.

So I thought it would be great to be able to do these things well, and with my current ability and age, I will have more recipes in the future."

Man Bao thought it made sense, so he nodded, "Okay, how much money do I have to pay?"

Zhou Lijun said: "I have done the calculations. These prescriptions were given by you, my sister-in-law, so you take 10% of the silver. For the other rooms, I will count only one room. Then excluding your room, there will be seven rooms. Each family will share one."

30% of the cost claims 10% of the share.”

Man Bao was startled, "One room per cent?"

Zhou Lijun nodded, "Yes, 10% per room, that's a total of 80%. The remaining 20% ​​will be counted among the public. Every year, 10% of the dividends will be left to run the shop, and the remaining 10% will be given to the grandparents."

In other words, their seventh house is responsible for sharing the public share.

Man Bao thought for a moment and did not object, "Will other houses agree?"

Zhou Lijun smiled and said: "As long as you agree, sister-in-law, then the other houses will agree."

Needless to say, the uncle and aunt will definitely follow the sister-in-law. Her mother doesn't have to worry about it. She can convince her father. The third uncle will listen to grandma. The fourth uncle, fifth uncle and sixth uncle are the best friends with the sister-in-law and will not object.

Zhou Lijun said with a smile: "I will make a rule when the time comes. The fourth and fifth aunts can go to the back of the shop to work as stewards, specifically in charge of making ointments, and they will get paid every month."

In this way, everyone is not idle and can still count money.

Manbao asked: "What is your estimated initial investment cost?"

Zhou Lijun hesitated for a moment and then said: "Ten thousand taels."

People like Manbao can't help but be stunned. It's really too expensive.

"I don't have anything. Will other houses be willing to spend so much money?"

She felt that this would almost wipe out the wealth of each house.

Although Zhou Lang has made a lot of money in the past few years, after deducting all costs, he can probably earn a few hundred or more than a thousand taels from one trip a year. Manbao remembers what was recorded in the account book. He made the most the year before last.

I made 2,800 taels, but at that time it was Zhou Lang who took the risk to buy pearls, but later he stopped doing this business.

Firstly, I am afraid that if I do too much, I will have to change my business registration;

Secondly, it is indeed more dangerous to get pearls.

And so much money is divided into many parts, after all, everyone has a part in it.

However, this money is still a lot of money, at least it is what it took the old Zhou family to save for seven or eight years.

So even Lao Zhoutou couldn't help but sigh, "No wonder capable people want to do business instead of farming."

But doing business, especially a businessman like Zhou Lang, is indeed hard work. You can see it by looking at Zhou Lang's appearance. He has aged much faster than Zhou Lang and Zhou Lang in recent years. Under the wind and sun, he is still not as good as

He is no longer the most handsome brother of Man Bao.

Man Bao has no pressure to pay for one thousand taels because she has many ways to get money, but for other houses, it is difficult to pay for one thousand three hundred taels.

Especially the eldest brother and the third brother.

At night, Manbao quietly slipped over to find her sister-in-law.

When Zhou Dalang saw her coming, he got up and went to the outer room, leaving the inner room to his sister-in-law to talk to.

Man Bao quietly asked Xiao Qian, "Sister-in-law, how much money have you and your eldest brother saved?"

Xiao Qian asked her, "Are you short of money?"

Man Bao shook his head and whispered about Lijun's plan to buy a shop, and then whispered: "Lijun has calculated in private that he can make back the money he spent to buy the shop in about a year after buying it.

"

Xiao Qianshi was speechless, "How can you make so much money?"

Man Bao said reservedly: "The main reason is that we are catching up with the vaccination. Many people know about anti-acne creams and moisturizing creams because of the light-printed ointments. Some men like to buy them more than women. Now business is much easier.

Lijun has calculated privately that the current sales volume has at least doubled compared to before."

So they still have to hire someone.

Xiao Qian took a look outside, and then asked in a low voice: "Then how much money will we pay for the big house?"

"First tell me how much you have."

Xiao Qian said: "More than eight hundred taels."

Man Bao was startled and asked: "Why are there so few?"

Xiao Qian said with a smile: "You have forgotten that not long after Datou got married, we bought him 20 acres of land in the suburbs of Beijing as a betrothal gift. In addition to other things, we spent a lot of money one after another.

Santou is no longer young now, and we are currently proposing to marry him."

Xiao Qian sighed after saying this, "The capital is different from our village, and our family is different now. In the past, it only cost five or six taels to marry a wife in the village. With the banquet, seven or eight taels would be enough to support the sky."
