Fang Mengyin and Nan Ruobin stayed in Wenchangwei until the tenth day of the lunar month, and returned to Xiangguan on the morning of the eleventh day.

Nanyi was not in a hurry to return to the capital and stayed in Wenchangwei.

On the Lantern Festival, the courtyard door of the south house was knocked.

Nan Yi opened the courtyard door and saw the dusty Men San'er standing outside the door.

"Master Nan, there are four thousand editions in total, and they are all here." Men San'er patted a package of oil paper bags that were not too big or too tall and said.

"Thank you for your hard work. How did you get here?"

"Taking the train is very tiring for me. I am not sure at all. When I get to the main station or when I stop, I have to go to the freight car..."

"Haha, freight cars are not easily stolen. You are the one to blame."

"Hey, there's no way. Thinking that this bag of things might be worth tens of millions or hundreds of millions in the future, how could I be careless? Master Nan, tell me where to put it, and I'll carry it over with you." Men San'er took another photo.

Said the oil paper bag.

"There's no need to lift it, just leave it here. I guess you'll arrive around this time, and we've already made an agreement with Xianghuan that a car will be here to transport it in two hours."

"Why, don't put it here, put it in the incense stick?"

"Well, I'm thinking that there's only a few people here all year round, so I'd better take it to Hong Kong to be safer. Put this thing in HSBC's vault. If it's lost, they'll have to compensate us."

"Should we pay for custody?"

"You don't have to ask about this. It doesn't cost anything, I can just pay it here."

"Okay, then I won't ask."

Men San'er thought about it, Master Nan said that he was the only one to pay for this transaction, which meant that he was the only one who paid for it. Master Nan must have spent money even though he couldn't see it, and he would not take advantage of him.

"Today is the Lantern Festival. Let's get some Yuanxiao to eat. Forget about the small Yuanxiao. We still have to dry it. We don't have time to do it. Let's get some big Yuanxiao to eat."

"Well, it's the Lantern Festival, I've never heard of it."

"To put it simply, it is glutinous rice balls, glutinous rice balls stuffed with sesame seeds."

"Hey, you said it's glutinous rice balls, right?"

"Seeking good luck."

He said he asked Men San'er to help, but he didn't know anything. All he could do was chat with Nan Yi.

Nan Yi was rubbing glutinous rice balls and asked: "I asked you to find someone who knows about antiques, but it's been a year and a half and you don't know anything about it?"

"Master Nan, it's not that I don't care, it's really hard to find someone. You require that you not only have good eyesight, but also have a family. I have found such a person, but they are not willing to work with us."

"Okay, let's continue to explore. I will do the antique business with you and the three of us. I am fifty, he is twenty, and you are thirty. It just so happens that when we return to the capital, he and I will be together."

Take one hundred thousand with you."

"You mean I'll pay 300,000?"

"For the time being, I don't know how long one million will last. It's similar to stamps. It's a long-term transaction, but the profit will be greater."

"Sure, then I'll take out three hundred thousand."

"Don't say whether you want to take it or not, the money will be left with you first. Whenever you look for the owner, when will this business start? If you can't find it, then bitch strike - stop."

"You don't need to provoke me. I will definitely look for it quickly. If I can't find it in the first half of this year, I will tie one back for you."

"No need to say nonsense, just hurry up."

"Hey." Men San'er nodded and said, "Master Nan, do we want to start the restaurant business?"

"Open one store, or open several at once?"

"Start with one family first, and go from road to road."

"Your mind is much more active than before, and you are also thinking about the restaurant business. It is indeed a good idea to open a restaurant now. People in the capital now want to have a good meal, which is more difficult than reaching the sky.

The state-owned restaurants in Mandijie and Yishui have a single menu, the waiters are sad and indifferent to customers, and the prices are expensive, with a table costing 20 to 30 yuan.

If you open a civilian restaurant at this time, the business will definitely be good."

"Yeah, I just thought it was a good deal." Men San'er said sarcastically.

"What's the rush? Wait until I finish what I'm saying." Nan Yi glared at Men San'er and continued: "You can't hire workers, but you know how to cook? You know how to be a waiter?"

"Master Nan, since you said this is a good deal, you must have a way to change it."

"There are ways, but if you just open a shop and you are busy all day long, how much revenue can you get? With four tables and food being turned over one after another, you can make up to two or three hundred dollars a day."

The profit is calculated as 60%, which is 3,618, and once the salary is opened, it is 4,000 to 5,000 a month, which is a lot for others, but a little less for us.

If you just pay the money and don't need to take care of it, then this business is still interesting.

Regardless, can this business continue?

Let’s talk about the issue of hiring workers. You can really get around it and get an individual business license for each of the chefs and waiters. Just say that your store is not actually one, but several.

The chef sells nine-turn large intestine, shredded pork with Beijing sauce, and the waiter sells noodles with soybean paste. Isn’t it true that everyone just rented the store together without sharing any money?

Just hire a few people and get a few licenses. As long as no one is watching you to check, the problem of hiring workers can be put aside for the time being.

But if one of the people you hire has a bad brain, you will be in trouble; if one is bad, the store will take it away from you."

"Master Nan, what do you mean?" Men San'er asked.

"Wait, wait until the country liberalizes the issue of hiring workers. Once this business is started, how can you be busy by yourself? Hiring people is an unavoidable problem.

Go back and find a copy of "Das Kapital" and read Volume 1, Part 3, Chapter 9, "The Rate of Surplus Value and the Amount of Surplus Value," and you will understand after reading it."

Men San'er clapped his hands and said: "Okay, I can't get into such a large tome. I'd better wait to calm down. Master Nan, I'll start working on it when you tell me."

"Well, I'll tell you when the time comes. But first, I want to say hello to you. I won't get involved in the restaurant's business."

"Master Nan, are you not optimistic about this deal?"

"No, I'm optimistic. It's just that there are too many bullshit and I find it troublesome. There was a proverb in the past that goes like this: Cars, boats, shops, feet and teeth, even if they are not guilty, they should be killed."

"I've heard this before. We're not from ancient times. We're doing serious business."

"What I mean is that restaurants are a place of trouble. People who come to take portions when the time comes, people who eat bugs in the food, people who use your restaurant as a ring, people who directly evade the bill, and people who take advantage of the public are all troubles."

Given the choice, Nanyi didn't want to get involved in the catering industry at all, as there were too many things to do.

"I'm not afraid of trouble, as long as I can make money."

"Then wait for my notice, don't open one, just open a few more, and occupy all the good land for restaurants in the capital first. When you return to the capital, you can start visiting the houses; and the chefs, too.

It's not easy to find such a good chef."

"Okay, I'll start moving when I get back."

"Find a few reliable people to help you. We have a lot to do, and it's not enough to just find people temporarily. Find a few people who are smart and won't cause trouble outside, and take them to make money together."

Men San'er said: "There are some suitable people. In the past, I would give them a lump sum. I would pay them a lump sum for helping them out. I would go back to them and tell them that I would calculate with them on a yearly basis and then calculate some dividends."
