Chapter Thirty-One: Momentum

After dinner early in the morning, the house became lively, but Geng Baishun was busy calling for a plaque to the house.

‘Luo Mansion’.

In addition to the door-to-door plaque, Geng Baishun redeemed more than a dozen servants, and also specially hired two chefs from a famous restaurant in the city and hired them to cook in the mansion.

When hanging the plaque, two firecrackers were lit.

The price of firecrackers these days is not cheap, and they will cost a lot of money once they are hung. Even if it is a wealthy family, they rarely want to spend money like this.

It can be said that the matter of opening and living in Luo Mansion was very popular in Geng Baishun's hands.

When they were almost busy, Luo Yongsheng waved his hand and set up a shed to deliver rice at the door. Any neighbors from the Three Streets and Sixth Street could receive ten kilograms of rice or two feet of silk cloth as long as they came here with a congratulations.

The reputation of "Luo Dashangwai" spread throughout this area in an instant.

And such a big noise was obviously impossible not to be known by Hou San, and Hou San, who was still in dispersed, came up again.

"Brother Luo is such a big deal. I'm afraid I'll spend hundreds of coins after this reward."

Have money to be a boy with money, but don’t have money to pay off his debts?

Hou San felt that he had been deceived by Luo Yongsheng. The latter didn't look like a poor person at all. Even the top people in Hongzhou City were not necessarily as generous as Luo Yongsheng.

"I just came to the precious land for the first time and I just wanted to make a name for myself. I laughed at you and laughed at you."

When Hou San entered the mansion, Luo Yongsheng casually acted casually, and seemed to see Hou San's unhappiness. After laughing, he lowered his voice and said, "Don't let the voice out, and don't tell the neighbors about my Luo's strength, and where is the best place to do business later."

"oh?"

Speaking of business, Hou San finally stopped worrying about the 300-yuan debt, and asked Luo Yongsheng: "Brother Luo is optimistic about which industry in Hongzhou?"

"Haha, I'm sorry, I'll keep it a secret."

Luo Yongsheng sucked Hou San's appetite and did not reveal his own plan to make money. Instead, he turned around and asked Hou San for something.

"I am not familiar with this Hongzhou City. I want to ask Brother Hou to find a few unsuccessful scholars for my brother. Luo wants to hire the servants in the mansion to learn to read, otherwise the big words will not be able to understand the future business."

Hou Sandao didn't think there was anything out of line about Luo Yongsheng's request, so he nodded and replied, saying a sentence was wrapped around him, and he received Luo Yongsheng's thanks again and again.

After wandering around this brand new Luo Mansion, Hou San nodded frequently when he saw it, and smiled and asked for advice: "Brother Luo, I'm going to choose this house for you, right?"

"It's true, so Brother Hou must be rewarded. Let me have a good banquet for you today."

Luo Yongsheng grabbed Hou San's hand and shouted: "Old Geng, please buy wine and prepare a meal. Today we have to have a big drink with Brother Hou."

Hou San politely refused Luo Yongsheng's invitation to each other. After a walk around, he said goodbye and left. He said that he wanted to find a scholar for Luo Yongsheng, and was anxious about what Luo Yongsheng was anxious about, and he looked like a rude attitude.

Luo Yongsheng, who could not resist him, had to send Hou San out, and he didn't put away his smile until the latter's back disappeared.

"Brother seems to value Hou San very much."

Luo Yongjie stood beside him and muttered: "This Hou San has been in dispersed all day long, and he always urges us to what we do. Brother, we should avoid such people."

"He didn't come for himself."

Luo Yongsheng turned around and entered the mansion: "Who would worry about our affairs every day? If we make such a big news today, we will definitely alarm the local forces in Hongzhou. Of course, these people want to figure out whether we are crossing the river or the fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered, and Hou San was just pushed by these people to explore the way."

"Brother, didn't you say you should be low-key before? Then why did you create such a big momentum today? Isn't this eye-catching?"

Luo Yongjie looked at the servant who was busy cleaning the courtyard and moving furniture in the mansion, and said with a heartache: "So many servants, a month-to-month money costs more than ten yuan. Today, we will spend a lot of money. If this continues, our family's wealth will be emptied."

"You should be low-key in life, but you should be high-key in your work. Otherwise, who would believe that you have the ability?"

Luo Yongsheng's fingers passed through the figures all over the yard, and his spirit was full of enthusiasm: "We are just a big deal when we arrive, and we are recruiting family members, hundreds of cents of money. Anyone can guess that we are just an empty affair that is strong outside and do the middle. Doing business is about being a fancy person."

"Brother, what business are we going to do?"

Luo Yongsheng did not say it, but changed the subject and asked in a daze: "Yongjie, don't want your wife."

???

Luo Yongjie was stunned and blinked his eyes a few times. It was not until Luo Yongsheng said it again that he came to his senses.

"daughter in law?"

As he muttered this word, Luo Yongjie happily danced: "Yes, of course."

Although Luo Yongjie has been a beggar since he was a child, he also knows what a wife is. At this age, it is impossible to say that she doesn't think about it. She just doesn't dare to say it.

Is a beggar worthy of marrying a wife?

But today Luo Yongsheng asked him if he wanted a wife.

"Well, in a while, I will choose a wife for you."

The cheerful Luo Yongjie chattered around Luo Yongsheng, and finally remembered: "Brother, why did you tell me that your wife is not married?"

"You don't have to worry about your brother's affairs. Don't cause trouble these days. When I finish my work, I'll tell you a kiss."

The two brothers separated in the backyard. Luo Yongjie happily went to Chengwen to show off his children, while Luo Yongsheng called Geng Baishun to enter his house and waved to Qingyan, who was busy cleaning, and said, "You go out first."

"Slave obeys the order."

Qingyan bowed and left with a short body, but did not forget to cover the door.

After the Dharma was not passed on to Liuer, only Geng Baishun was left in the room, Luo Yongsheng spoke.

"Our momentum is quite big today. Hou San's guy has also come, which means we have attracted the attention of the people behind him. Next, we have to make the momentum bigger, so that the local Hongzhou business can't sit still and come out."

"What are the plans for the young master?"

Picking up the teapot and pouring water for Luo Yongsheng, Geng Baishu said: "I'll do it now."

"You have been shopping around the major stores in Hongzhou City these days, inquiring about the prices of products, and revealing that you want to open a store in Hongzhou and set up a department store."

"What is a department store?"

Geng Baishun was confused by this fresh noun.

"It is a business that includes various commodities for sale." Luo Yongsheng gave a brief introduction: "The daily necessities such as cloth stores, grain stores, and porcelain stores are basically sold separately. In our department store, we sell all the goods that the people need in their daily lives, and there is no need for the people to buy them everywhere."

This explanation made Geng Baishun's eyes lit up, but then Luo Yongsheng's words surprised him again.

"The big news for me is that our department store covers at least ten acres of land. We must use one-one to provide half of the Hongzhou needs, and invest at least tens of thousands of tons."

"But Master, where did we get so much money?"

“It’ll be there soon.”
