"Elder sister from the Zhang family, I have 6000 mu of land. Most of the land is of the highest quality. Based on the current price, it's more than 5 taels per mu. Elder sister, why don't we calculate based on 5 taels per mu? There's not a lot of land, so 30,000 taels should be enough."
Mrs. Han was counting the money and raised three of her fingers. Mrs. Yuan, who was beside her, also said, "My family has slightly more land. Why don't we also calculate based on 5 taels of silver? That's 6000 mu of land."
"60,000 taels of silver?" Madam Zhang calculated that her family didn't seem to be able to take out so much money, so she used it all, so she negotiated and said, "The price is indeed not high, but it's not low either. How about this, give me a few months, and I'll give you the money then."
"Elder sister from the Zhang family, we can bear with it. Our husband can't wait any longer. We're not selling the land for nothing, we're trying to save our husband." Mrs. Han said as she started crying again.
Jang Wong Clan finally reacted. She just wanted to buy the land, so she cried for a while and said, "Younger sisters, to be honest, elder sister's family doesn't have that much money. Our husband is going to take the exam, which part of him doesn't need money? We've already spent 100,000 taels of silver, and we still don't know what the result will be. Younger sisters, you should look for other families. "
Jang Wong Clan was telling the truth, but they didn't believe her. There were so many prescriptions, and the entire pier of Xiao Luoshui. How could they not have enough money? Why would they spend so much money just to take the exam? They didn't know that the Zhang family was preparing to get the first three places.
"Elder sister, we really can't find anyone to help us. How about this, elder sister, give each of us 20,000 taels first, and give us the rest after a few days." Mrs. Yuan suggested.
Give them 40,000 taels first? Jang Wong Clan began to calculate, but they didn't have 40,000 taels. At the same time, she didn't want to buy the land so expensive. According to the current price, it was indeed as what the two of them said. But the situation was different now. No one dared to buy the land from the two families, only the Zhang family dared to do this.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were also thinking about whether to buy it or not. If they bought it, they could still get some money. It was just that the price was a little high. If they didn't buy it, they should quickly reject it. If they bought it, it would delay the spring plowing, which would be troublesome.
"Where can we get the money?" Wang Juan was also tempted. With so much land, when the river was built, it would be more valuable. She asked Zhang Xiaobao.
Without waiting for Zhang Xiaobao to reply, she said: "We can pawn the things in exchange for money. We can pawn a lot of things here."
"But you have to pay interest. I won't do that kind of thing. Money is not a problem. The main thing is that they are selling it too expensive, so we have to lower the price. I think they have given enough money, but they don't dare to continue to stay in Hua Yuan County. They are afraid that Li Xun will also be here and will find trouble with them in the future."
Zhang Xiaobao didn't want to pawn the things in exchange for money. It wasn't like before, where he could use some tricks to get the money. He didn't want to do that now. Who knew what kind of people were behind the pawnshop? It was easy to scheme once, but what about in the future?
"Then let's wait. This time, your mother won't agree directly. We can discuss it with your mother." Wang Juan believed in Zhang Xiaobao's ability. She really wanted to get money. Now that she had the capital, as long as he tried to disturb the balance, she would get the money.
As expected, Jang Wong Clan didn't agree directly. She said to the two sisters: "Sisters, I will discuss it with my father-in-law. I will look for you later. You should go back and wait."
Jang Wong Clan wanted to ask her son what to do. The main thing was that she didn't have enough money. Since she had enough money, she had to buy it. With Zhangjia Zhuangzi's farming skills, it was already a good deal to buy it.
Mrs. Han and Mrs. Yuan didn't think so. They thought that the other party didn't want to buy it. Immediately, Mrs. Han said: "Sister, we can wait here for a while. Sister, you can go and ask."
"That's right, Elder Sister. This round trip will take a lot of time. We really can't wait any longer." Madam Yuan also echoed.
"Okay. Then you two sisters can go to the room next door to rest for a while. I will go and ask now." Jang Wong Clan said. She led the two sisters out and arranged them to a room next door. When she turned back, she saw Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan walking to the front from behind the screen.
"Xiao Bao, you and Cuckoo heard what we said just now. Do you want to buy it or not? If we buy it, we don't have enough money. If we don't buy it, it will be a pity that the land will be taken away by others in the end. "Jang Wong Clan sat on a chair and hugged Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan.
"Mother, we will buy it. But the price is too high. At most, we can give them fifty thousand taels. Sixty thousand taels is definitely not enough. We have wasted our time." Zhang Xiaobao gave a figure.
"What about the money?" Jang Wong Clan didn't have the ability to make money. She could only rely on her son.
"I will think of a way to get the money. I will give it to them in three days." Zhang Xiaobao agreed.
*****
Jang Wong Clan was relieved. She didn't ask her son how he was going to get the money. She kissed her son and daughter-in-law on their cheeks and went to the room next door to talk with the two of them.
This time, they were serious. They talked for two hours. Jang Wong Clan first gave them a price of forty thousand taels. After bargaining back and forth, they settled on forty-nine thousand six hundred and seventy-two taels and five coins. In the end, they negotiated for less than a tael.
"So long." Wang Juan didn't expect that the negotiation would be so difficult.
Zhang Xiaobao agreed with his mother's idea. "This is the right way. After the negotiation, let the other party feel that they didn't lose too much. Otherwise, if the other party gave a number and my mother directly agreed, the other party will definitely feel uncomfortable. If things go wrong, they will regret."
"What about the money? Where are you going to get it? "Wang Juan asked.
"Cooperation. Financing will be enough. We will spread the news about the business we are going to do and let other rich people join in. That way, we will have the money. Originally, we were going to cooperate. Controlling all the shares in a profitable business is not enough. Now, we can go with the flow."
Zhang Xiaobao felt that Wang Juan's mind was in a dead end.
Wang Juan just remembered that other than loans, there was also financing. She nodded and said, "Okay. Which business should we give away?"
"We are not giving away anything now. We need to find a new business and let people invest in it." Zhang Xiaobao replied.
Wang Juan couldn't think of any new business. She had already used everything she could. She looked at Zhang Xiaobao in confusion and asked, "What business?"
"Well, let me ask you, where are you going to buy meat?" Zhang Xiaobao asked.
"Of course, I will go to the stall where I buy meat." Wang Juan replied.
"You are going to buy cloth. We don't have cloth in the market."
"I am going to the cloth store."
"You are going to buy rouge and face powder?"
"I am going to the rouge shop."
"We don't have that in the market. You are going to buy jewelry."
"Okay, stop talking. Isn't it just opening a supermarket? Will it work here?" Wang Juan understood after being asked a few times. She was worried that the supermarket couldn't develop here.
Zhang Xiaobao didn't know whether it would work or not. He said, "It should work. Think about it. When the river is connected, there will be more people coming and going. If you don't have anything on hand and want to buy something, you will have to look for a shop. Let's just open a supermarket here.
Even if we don't make money in the end, we won't lose money. Besides, the money will be in. Li Xun is here now. Let's bring him along. If he joins, others will follow. Don't you think so? As long as we don't lose money in the end, the money will be in. They won't say anything. "
Zhang Xiaobao really couldn't judge whether the people here liked to spend money in the supermarket. Building a supermarket was just taking over the market. He just needed to change it and build a three-story building. He would let Xu Si and Er Gou manage it. He just needed to upgrade the market.
Other people were taking money now. If he went to them directly, they might not agree. He just needed to pull Li Xun in. If the relatives of the Emperor dared to take money, others would naturally dare to too. They would think that Zhangjia Zhuangzi wouldn't dare to cheat Li Xun.
Wang Juan was also thinking about this matter. The supermarket should be able to make money. Other than ordinary people, there were also some businessmen and people who ate in the restaurants. When people spend money, they tend to have a tendency to buy everything else.
At most, it would be like what Xiao Bao said. They won't lose money. They just need to make a little profit. The prices of the various items would be slightly lower. If she saw such a place and had money, she would also go in to take a look. She would also buy something useful. After all, it was cheap.
Thinking of cheap, Wang Juan asked again: "Does that mean the price of our goods will also be lower? Are you still thinking of charging an entrance fee? Impossible. "
"That's right. We can't charge an entrance fee, but we can make the goods cheaper. The more we buy, the cheaper it will be. We have a place here, and we have a warehouse. It's just a stockpile of goods. Furthermore, we are not the only ones who have money.
Moreover, there is another advantage to stockpiling goods here. As long as the goods are not easy to break, and the price is slightly higher, we can sell them to others. It's also good to be close to the capital. "
Zhang Xiaobao could only analyze it this way. He didn't have time to do market research. He only had three days, and he had to raise enough money. It was a risk.
Wang Juan also knew about this situation. She supported him and said: "Then let's give it a try. Go and find Li Xun. He will definitely join. We have to build a large scale. Otherwise, we won't be able to raise so much money. 50,000 taels of silver, how large is the scale?"
"Of course, we have to build a large scale. Our family doesn't have that much space, and we don't have that kind of scale. Moreover, if we build a large scale, when will we be able to recoup the cost? But we can use a chain method to do it. We can build a supermarket in the most prosperous places around here, as well as the capital.
We have to let the people who buy things in the supermarket treat this kind of behavior as a fashion. That's enough. It's just like when people ate some fast food a hundred years ago. "
