Princess, he is rich enough to rival the country

Although the repair of the main courtyard of the Wangfu is coming to an end, it is not over yet, so Zhi Ge can't see the "big handwriting" of Gu Yanshu in the main courtyard of the Wangfu for the time being.

Before that, Gu Yanshu still had a bigger task to do.

After returning to the palace from the teahouse, Gu Yanshu asked Zhi Ge to investigate the Zhou family's silk business without any hesitation.

At the same time, they also found out the properties that the Zhou family listed for sale this time.

The action of Prince Li's Mansion has always been very fast, and the Zhou family was in a hurry to make a move, and they did not hide it, but within a day, Zhi Ge sent over the information that Gu Yanshu wanted.

It has to be said that the Zhou family was able to achieve the current level of business because of two brushes.

Not to mention anything else, let's talk about the silk and satin business, from Sangtian to textile factories, and then to shops, everything is available.

The Zhou family's determination to save Yuncizhai is also impressive. The Zhou family did not keep any of the entire line related to the silk and satin business, and all of them were packaged together and listed.

This is a very mature production and sales line.

Once you are mature enough, as long as you have enough money, take it over and start making money in the next year.

But the three words "enough money" seem simple, but in fact they are extremely difficult.

It has been more than half a month since the Zhou family's silk and satin business was listed, but it has not been sold, and there are even few people interested in it, because few people can raise such a large sum of money in a short period of time.

"The Zhou family's business, the princess wants to take over?"

Noticing Gu Yanshu's movements, Qin Lu could know what he wanted to do without having to think about it.

Gu Yanshu nodded and admitted without thinking:

"Who doesn't want a profitable business?"

Zhi Ge is very careful, not only helping him investigate the Zhou family's silk business listed for sale, but also investigating the Zhou family's silk business and those who want to take over.

As far as Zhi Ge found out, there are already four or five companies interested in it, but due to insufficient capital flow, they can only wait and see temporarily.

Gu Yanshu believed that once the Zhou family couldn't hold on and decided to split up and sell this part of the property, these people would be able to step forward in an instant and carve it up.

Qin Lu didn't even think about it, so he gave Gu Yanshu feedback:

"Since the princess wants it, then buy it."

"So, the lord supported me in buying it?" Gu Yanshu frowned.

"Why not support it?

"

Qin Lu asked back, he really didn't understand things in the business field, but he knew that Gu Yanshu's decision would not go wrong.

"Then what if I don't have enough money?" Gu Yanshu continued to ask.

"How much less?" Qin Lu thought for a moment, and then added, "I still have more than three hundred thousand taels in my hand, is it enough?"

Of the more than [-] taels, of which more than [-] was the money that Gu Yanshu distributed to Qin Lu last time, and the rest was Qin Lu's previous family property.

Don't look at Qin Lu who seems to have no desires or desires on weekdays, but actually supports the three armies, and spends money much faster than Gu Yanshu.

Not to mention that Tianqi's winter this year seems to be colder than previous years.

A few days ago, Qin Lu added winter clothes to the soldiers of the three armies.

Now that the weather is cold, I have to eat some meat every day to resist the cold.

These are all money.

However, Tianqi's treasury is empty, and the Ministry of Household Affairs is in the hands of the eldest prince who is at odds with Qin Lu. Qin Lu wants to make the soldiers live better, so he can only pay for it out of his own pocket.

Gu Yanshu also knew how heavy the burden was on Qin Lu.

Under such circumstances, Qin Lu was still willing to support him with all his money. It would be a lie if he was not moved.

But being moved was moved, Gu Yanshu finally rejected Qin Lu's kindness:

"I have enough money on me, it's just a joke with the prince, why is the prince so easy to deceive?"

"Except for the princess, who else would dare to lie to the king?"

Qin Lu glanced sideways at Gu Yanshu, noncommittal.

Although this is arrogant, it is indeed true.

Others felt scared just looking at Qin Lu, so how dare they open their mouths to cheat?

Even if he dared to speak, such a deceitful Qin Lu would probably only appear in front of Gu Yanshu.

Although Qin Lu's proposal to give money was rejected by Gu Yanshu, after knowing the price of Zhou's silk business, he still took 10 taels.

The Zhou family's entire silk business asked for a price of 58 taels, which was actually a bit high.

Gu Yanshu roughly estimated that the final transaction price should be suppressed to around 50 taels.

50 taels is indeed somewhat difficult for the current Gu Yanshu, but it is not impossible to get out.

So when he saw the banknote sent by Qin Lu, Gu Yanshu subconsciously wanted to reject it.

However, Qin Lu said, "The princess refuses to accept this money today, so how can I accept the gift from the princess in the future?" I was speechless.

In the end, the money was collected.

Now that the money is in place, the next step is naturally to invite Zhou's family members for an interview.

After being urgently called back by the Zhou family on Tuesday, the elder Zhou Maoyuan and Zhou Maojie, the boss of the Zhou family, were sent to the capital to manage Yuncizhai this time.

The fourth son of the Zhou family, like Zhou Maoran, is the legitimate son of the Zhou family. As for Zhou Maojie, he is the eldest son of the Zhou family.

So although these two people are jointly managing Yuncizhai in name, in fact all matters need to be decided on Thursday, and the boss of the Zhou family can only assist from the side.

Gu Yanshu doesn't care about Zhou Laosi and Zhou Boss, who can make the decision and who can't, as long as one of them can make a decision and sell the silk business to him.

When meeting with these two young masters of Zhou, Gu Yanshu didn't make any cover up.

Knowing that it was Princess Li who wanted to buy their silk business, the Zhou family didn't want to go.

After all, if it wasn't for Prince Li's Mansion, why would they need to give up the silk and satin business to preserve Yuncizhai?

But after deliberation, they still decided to meet with Gu Yanshu.

After all, in business and business, the dispute between Yuncizhai and Tao Ranju was first provoked by Yuncizhai, and it was finally defeated by Yuncizhai.

What's more, apart from Gu Yanshu, I am afraid that no one else can give out so much money in one go.

If you don't sell it to Gu Yanshu, you may have to sell it off in the end, and the price will drop by [-]% at that time.

Gu Yanshu didn't care what the Zhou family thought, when he met the two sons of the Zhou family, he didn't show any courtesy:

"Here? Then I'll get straight to the point? After all, there's nothing old between me and the two Mr. Zhou."

"I have met Her Highness Princess Li, and you can speak up if you have anything to say."

Although Zhou Laosi had complicated feelings for Gu Yanshu, he still maintained his superficial calmness, and cupped his hands towards Gu Yanshu.

"I checked your Zhou family's silk business. It is indeed doing well, but it doesn't seem to be worth 58 taels?"

Now that he said straight to the point, Gu Yanshu opened his mouth and directly pointed out the unreasonable pricing.

Hearing Gu Yanshu's words, Zhou Laosi opened his mouth to speak, but Gu Yanshu didn't give him a chance, after a short pause, he continued:

"According to all the industries listed by your Zhou family now, including Sangtian, textile factories, shops, etc., the total value is only 40 taels.

The bag is for sale, and the premium price is not worth 18 taels, or... is there anything incomplete on this list? "

As Gu Yanshu said, he tapped the list on the table.

On the list, all the properties that the Zhou family sold this time were clearly listed. Not only that, but after each item, the corresponding market price was clearly written.

The reason why the Zhou family's business can command a premium is because the entire property is packaged and sold together, and the person who takes over can make money without worrying about it.

But just as Gu Yanshu said, no matter what, the premium is not worth 18 taels.

After seeing clearly the contents on the list, Zhou Lao Si knew that this Princess Li was not easy to fool.

After looking at the list for a while, Zhou Laosi sighed slightly:

"I wonder how much His Highness is willing to bid?"

Gu Yanshu tapped the list on the table, and after thinking for a moment, he gave a number:

"Buy it now, 48 taels."

"48 taels, isn't it, a little less?"

Rao Zhou Laosi had been prepared in his heart, and was surprised by Gu Yanshu's answer.

With this opening, 10 taels was directly cut off, isn't it a little too much?

"48 taels, that's a lot."

Gu Yanshu smiled slightly, and directly pointed out the problem:

"Except for Prince Li's Mansion, who else can spend such a large amount of money at one time? If I am more patient, after a while, the Zhou family will split up these properties and sell them. Maybe it won't take 48 taels." .”

Although these words were harsh to Zhou Laosi's ears, he had to admit that Gu Yanshu's words were true.

But 48 taels was a bit lower after all.

But looking down at the list on the table, Zhou Lao Si knew that 48 taels might really be the most ideal price they could get now.

Just when Zhou Lao Si gritted his teeth and was about to agree directly, the boss of the Zhou family, who was sitting by the side and kept facing the background board, said:

"His Royal Concubine Li, the 48 taels is indeed a little less. I wonder if His Royal Highness can spare two days and wait until I discuss with the elders in the family before giving an answer?"

And Zhou Laosi, who was just about to agree, seemed to think of something after hearing this, and followed closely behind:

"For this price, I really need to ask the elders in the family what they mean first."

Gu Yanshu frowned slightly

He tuned in, glanced at Boss Zhou who was sitting beside him with a calm expression, and tapped his finger slightly on the table.

After a moment of contemplation, he nodded:

"Since the two young masters can't make the decision, let's go back and discuss with the elders at home first."

Obviously there is no need to continue talking today, after Gu Yanshu finished speaking, he took Zhi Ge and Bai Shu and left.

After leaving the teahouse, Gu Yanshu turned his head and glanced at the room where he was discussing with the two young masters of the Zhou family:

"Stop Ge."

"princess."

"Help me and listen to what they are saying now."

Gu Yanshu raised his chin towards the room where the discussion had just been held.

"Yes."

It was not the first time that Zhi Ge had done such a thing as listening to the corner of the wall. After receiving the order, he jumped directly and concealed his figure.

Gu Yanshu didn't leave directly either, he went back to the carriage and waited for Zhi Ge to come back.

Judging from the situation just now, Zhi Ge should be able to bring back the news he wants soon.

Sure enough, Zhi Ge lightly knocked on the door of the carriage after only a stick of incense.

"Let's talk." Gu Yanshu's lips twitched slightly, signaling Zhi Ge to report directly.

"Yes."

Zhi Ge nodded slightly, and recounted to him what happened in the room after Gu Yanshu left.

Zhou Lao Si was indeed willing to accept Gu Yanshu's price, and was also dissatisfied with Zhou Lao Si's rash behavior.

Not long after Gu Yanshu left, Zhou Lao Si directly questioned Zhou Boss.

Boss Zhou said that the price of 48 taels is indeed not within the range that Zhou Laosi can nod.

And he felt that according to the style of doing things in front of Prince Li's Mansion, there might not be room for Yun Ci Zhai.

Now that Prince Li's Mansion has come forward to buy the Zhou family's silk business, the Zhou family should reconsider whether it is correct to abandon silk and satin to protect porcelain.

If you take one wrong step, you will be lost forever, which is not good for everyone.

Zhou Laosi said that Boss Zhou was worrying unfoundedly. It was the unanimous decision of the elders of the family to abandon silk and satin and protect porcelain. Besides, the eldest prince has already promised that Yuncizhai will become a tribute in the palace next year. It is simply nonsense to make a wrong move. .

Boss Zhou said that even if this is the case, the 48 taels still need to ask the family first.

In the end, the two broke up directly.

"Zhou Maojie..."

After listening to Zhi Ge's report, Gu Yanshu murmured the name of the boss of the Zhou family in a low voice, but unexpectedly, there was still a sober person in the Zhou family.

"Princess, do you need

What are you going to do? "

Others don't know what kind of temperament Gu Yanshu is, how can the people in Prince Li's Mansion not know?

Seeing that Zhou Maojie guessed Gu Yanshu's thoughts to eight or nine points, and might destroy Gu Yanshu's next plan, Zhi Ge naturally became anxious along with him.

"No need," Gu Yanshu shook his head, a slight smile appeared on his face, and he said meaningfully, "The Zhou family will agree."

Although Zhi Ge didn't know why Gu Yanshu said this, but he knew that he would obey Gu Yanshu's order, so he didn't say any more immediately.

After Zhi Ge left, Gu Yanshu looked down at the Zhou family's list and smiled slightly:

Boss Zhou is indeed a smart man.

It's a pity that such a smart person is a bastard, and his status in the Zhou family is not high.

Now that the Zhou family has long been dazzled by the prosperity promised by the eldest prince, how could they be willing to accept the cold water thrown by a bastard?

The fact is as Gu Yanshu expected, even though Zhou Maojie tried his best, he couldn't change the decision that the Zhou family had made.

On the second day, the Zhou family directly sent someone to knock on the door of Prince Li's mansion, and sold the family's silk business to Gu Yanshu at a price of 48 taels.

After spending 48 taels in one go, before Gu Yanshu even had time to look at the country he had conquered, he was stumped by the successive invitations from the mansion.
