    If you think this site is good, please share it with your friends: The compensation of nearly 20,000 taels was eventually evenly distributed to everyone, and it turned out to be as much as 2,000 taels.  This is a "small number" that is averaged out when Zhang Shoucheng took the initiative to take on the "big part".  Otherwise, they would only have five or six people together, and the final amount of compensation to be paid to Jinxianglou might really reach three to five thousand taels.  If this comes true, it will really cost them their lives.  Because, although they are noble sons in the palaces of major princes and ministers, in fact, due to their bloodline, their status in their respective palaces is not too high. Therefore, the palaces they can usually come into contact with  Naturally, there are not too many industries, so the amount of "commission" that can be taken from them is naturally limited.  In fact, three to five thousand taels of silver is roughly equivalent to their entire income of nearly three years, and their usual expenses are definitely not small. Therefore, if these three to five thousand taels of silver are lost,  , the result is that they are likely to have to spend all their "property", and may even owe money.  Of course, this is without notifying their government. Otherwise, with the real financial resources of their government, this amount of money is far from breaking the bones.  "Second Young Master, what should we do with this Jinxiang Tower?" After discussing the issue of compensation, someone thought of this issue and asked Zhang Shoucheng.  "Jinxiang Tower? Humph, what else can you do? Let's take it out!" "Pake it out? Oh, okay. Then let's take it out." When others heard what Zhang Shoucheng said, they were a little surprised at the first time, but,  Relief came quickly.  Yes, if you don¡¯t sell it out.  What else can be done?  They originally bought this Jinxiang Building to deal with "Qin's Dessert House", but they didn't expect it.  However, "Qin's Dessert House" didn't seem to take it to heart at all. It first confused them with a plan to close down for rectification.  Then they came up with the idea of ??changing the name to "Liu Li Pavilion", but as a result, they didn't even have the slightest chance. Therefore, it was an inevitable choice to sell the Jinxiang Tower.  Because they don¡¯t know how to do business.  Buying Jinxiang Building to compete with "Qin's Dessert House" was just a temporary idea, and.  Their entire strategy was just to steal the dessert recipes from "Qin's Dessert House". Therefore, this road was blocked by "Qin's Dessert House", and they were completely at their wits' end.  Of course, they could have left the Jinxiang Tower to their servants to manage and manage it, just like the other industries they currently control.  Although all these industries are nominally managed by their direct descendants, in fact, how can they actually manage them for a day?  All of this is "handled" by the people under my command, and they.  All we have to do is wait to "take a commission" from it every year, and let the people below take care of this "account".  In order to explain to the people in the mansion, this is a "convention", which basically exists in the families of all major officials.  However, even though there is no "operation" burden for them to keep this Jinxiang Building, they are still unwilling to do so.  On the one hand, it is because they feel that there is not much profit to be made from this Jinxiang Building, but on the other hand, it is because they feel that there is not much profit to be made from this Jinxiang Building.  It's because they don't want other people to know about it at all.  Because of their mixed-race status, their status in their respective houses was not very high.  Moreover, in the "struggle" between brothers and sisters, they are always at a disadvantage.  And if this matter spread to their house, it would undoubtedly become a big joke.  because.  Not only did they fail to defeat "Qin's Dessert House", but they also caused so much damage. So, how do you want others to think of them?  Especially their father.  Because, as a mixed race, they still care about their father¡¯s opinion.  Because they have no future in their career, their father would not have valued them much in the first place. But now, if they cannot do well in other aspects, they will undoubtedly be punished.  My father left an even worse impression.  This was something they didn't want to see anyway, so when Zhang Shoucheng proposed to transfer the Jinxiang Building, they didn't have the slightest disagreement.  "Is there any mistake? Your Jinxianglou also refunds the membership fee? How is that possible? We are still waiting to eat the dim sum in your store! What? Didn't you see that the 'Liu Li Pavilion' is so expensive? So, you  Do you want to increase the price too?¡±  Next, Jinxiang Tower posted a notice that they were ready to cancel the membership fee.  However, the withdrawal process this time was not as smooth as the previous one at "Qin's Dessert House".  Because, the previous "action" of "Qin's Dessert House" to refund the membership fee was widely expected.  After all, at that time, almost everyone believed that "Qin's Dessert House" would not be able to sustain itself, and there was no way to reverse the trend of Jinxianglou replacing "Qin's Dessert House".  So, wouldn¡¯t it be a good thing if they could refund their membership fees?  In this way, those members did not have to bear any losses, and even had money left to join Jinxianglou. Therefore, the consequence of this was that when "Qin's Dessert House" first announced that the membership fee could be officially refunded  , the response was really enthusiastic.  However, the situation today is already completely different.  Today's Jinxiang Tower, although it is willing to pay compensation to members, can indeed reduce the losses to members, but the total loss is only one hundred taels.  Although one hundred taels of silver sounds like a lot, it is based on the fact that they can no longer taste those delicious snacks.  Because, the membership requirement of "Liu Li Pavilion" has now been raised to more than 10,000 taels of silver. In other words, the so-called members who currently join Jinxianglou's membership system are basically unable to make such a large sum.  Money comes to join this membership system.  And if this happens, it will be basically impossible for them to taste any kind of delicious snacks in "Liu Li Pavilion".  And if you can no longer taste any kind of delicious snacks in "Liu Li Pavilion", where can you taste them?  Jinxiang Tower is their only hope.  Therefore, they naturally do not want Jinxiang Tower to close down.  Even Jinxiang Tower was willing to compensate them the original one hundred taels of membership fees.  They are not willing to do this at all.  "Yes, yes! If the price goes up, just raise the price. As long as it doesn't go up so outrageously. However, it's time for your Jinxiang Restaurant to introduce new dim sum. Otherwise, if you only have one kind of milk tea every day, what's the point?"  Those members, whether intentionally or not, simply ignored Jinxianglou¡¯s so-called refund and withdrawal notice, and just urged Jinxianglou to launch new dim sum as soon as possible, even.  Even if Jinxiang Tower wants to increase the price, they will accept it.  But, what can Jinxianglou do?  It's not that they don't want to introduce new dim sum in order to maintain the operation of Jinxiang Tower. The most important thing is to wait until Zhang Shoucheng and the others earn back the money they lost, right?  However, there is no way. The key problem is that they simply cannot get the recipes for making those snacks.  For this reason, they were even defrauded of a large amount of money by many servants of the Qin Mansion, so when this matter was brought up.  Zhang Shoucheng and the others were already extremely angry, so how could they think of launching any new snacks?  Of course, there are actually quite a few dim sum chefs in their houses.  Just find these pastry chefs.  In fact, they can introduce so-called new snacks at any time, and they can even introduce certain snacks that are specially used for royal meals in the palace.  However, one thing they all know very well is that the "new snacks" requested by members in the market are not the snacks specially used for royal meals in the palace, but the new snacks sold in the "Liu Li Pavilion"  , such as cream cakes, egg rolls, etc.  Moreover, to launch the snacks for the so -called dedicated to the palace royal meals.  In fact it is not that easy.  Because, although the dim sum chefs in the kitchens of major high-ranking officials can make this kind of dim sum.  However, it is usually only used in one's own house.  Now if it is sold, that is another matter.  Because, this might be a taboo.  "Dear guests, dear guests, I'm sorry! The store is not raising prices, but closing. Therefore, you should take back the membership fee. Otherwise, once we close the store,  There¡¯s no way you can get your money back.¡± Zhang Shoucheng and the others simply had no intention of taking care of the Jinxiang Building anymore, so in the face of everyone¡¯s doubts, they casually sent two waiters out to deal with it.  The method adopted by these two store waiters is also very simple and direct, which is to intimidate those members. If they cancel the membership without refund, all the membership fees they paid before will be wasted.  But how could those members be so willing?  Because, with the precedent of "Qin's Dessert House", they suddenly discovered that the option of refunding or canceling the membership was not necessarily a good thing for them!  What if Jinxianglou also followed the example of "Qin's Dessert House", first deceiving them into refunding the membership fee with a so-called saying that it would "close down", and then raising the price?At this time, what can they do?  So, at this time, they couldn't help but say, "What? It's not a price increase, it's a store closure? What's going on? Didn't you say that your Jinxiang Building will soon replace 'Qin's Dessert House'? Now"  Although Qin's Dessert House has changed its name to "Liu Li Pavilion", there is no need for your Jinxiang House to close down, right? " "Yes! We can't enter either!"  If you are a member of Liuli Pavilion, Jinxianglou is your only choice. Why do you want to close the store? " "Yes, yes! You must not close the store, otherwise, we will go to the government office to sue you for stealing  The crime of theft! "  "The crime of theft" actually refers to the act of illegally taking public and private property for oneself by secret means.  But as for Jinxiang Tower, is there any use of secret means to appropriate public and private property for one's own use?  The methods they used were just false propaganda.  In fact, this false propaganda will not be criminalized in this era.  Therefore, even if those people complained to the government, the local officials in Bianliang City would never dare to accuse Zhang Shoucheng and others of "theft".  What's more, Jinxianglou has already agreed to refund them and cancel their membership, so.  Even the charges of corruption and so on are impossible to establish.  However, when Zhang Shoucheng and others learned the news, they still felt panicked.  Because, even if it is this crime, it is definitely not possible.  However, if you want to go to court, this matter cannot be covered up.  By then, probably everyone in Bianliang City will know that they are the owners behind Jinxiang Tower. Wouldn't that make people laugh?  However, it is not that Zhang Shoucheng has no solution to this matter.  So, you can see that after a pause, he quickly said with a sneer, "Huh, okay, they don't have money, right? Then sell those ordinary snacks to them, and also mention the price with '  "Liu Li Pavilion" is the same, I don't believe it, they are still unwilling to withdraw from the meeting." This move is really a bit unique.  Because, although the guys at Jinxianglou had hinted openly or covertly before that Jinxianglou would replace "Qin's Dessert House", but.  But they definitely didn't say that they would definitely sell various snacks from "Qin's Dessert House". Such words were just rumors among the people.  Therefore, even if they only sell ordinary dim sum now, there is nothing wrong with it.  Furthermore, this also completely eliminates the reason for others to go to the government office to sue them for theft at Jinxiang Tower, because it¡¯s not that they don¡¯t sell dim sum, but what they sell is not the expected ¡°Qin¡¯s¡± dim sum.  Therefore, this can only be regarded as fraud at best.  However, there is no crime of fraud in this era.  Therefore, naturally no one thought of suing them.  On the contrary, if Jinxianglou no longer sells dim sum, but chooses to close down, then even if they agree to refund all the membership fees to those members, if those members don't buy it, then they will sue.  The crime of theft at Jinxiang Tower is a little bit unreliable.  After all, they paid the money in the first place, but if you didn't provide the corresponding "services", wouldn't that be illegal possession of other people's property?  Of course, this is just a possibility of filing a case.  Whether or not you can sue or not, that's still two different things. However, in the end, you will have to go to court anyway.  "Yeah, yes, you can do that!" "Well, in this case, we don't even have to refund their membership fees!" "Haha, I saved more than two thousand taels of silver. Second Young Master, you are really smart.  " After hearing Zhang Shoucheng's statement, the eyes of the mixed-race boys brightened up, and they immediately started to praise again.  They are looking for Zhang Shoucheng's thigh as soon as they find an opportunity. Although Zhang Shoucheng has suffered a lot of failures in his previous ideas, they are now fully "invested" here, so  , we can only hold on to this rope.  However, Zhang Shoucheng did not lose his mind due to their "praising" this time. The reason why he made such a plan was to force those members to withdraw from the membership, because only they got all the money back.  Only then can we truly avoid making trouble, that is, truly eliminate future troubles forever.  Whenever these members suffer a little loss, they will probably start to make a fuss. Even if they don't sue the government, at the very least, the bosses behind them will probably have a lot of people behind them.  The big opportunity is "exposed".  Therefore, in order to ensure nothing goes wrong, he would not take this risk for a mere few thousand taels of silver.  Anyway, although he made a big contribution from the compensation, the amount of money was far from breaking his bones, because this amount of money was basically used by the "Qin's Dessert House" in front of him.  Refund his entrance fee.  As the second prince in the palace of the current dynasty, he??, I still have some wealth.  "Hey, have you heard? Jinxianglou has launched a new snack!" "What, what? Really? Are these new snacks like the milk tea, the same as the ones at Liulice?" "Hey, where can I find them?  ! Just the most ordinary osmanthus cake. "What? Osmanthus cake? At least it has to be an egg roll or a cookie, right?"  "Xianglou, I don't have the ability to make desserts like cream cakes and cookies." "Humph, isn't this expected? You know, the cream cakes of Liuli Pavilion are made of glass.  It¡¯s put on a plate. In addition, have you ever seen that kind of glass cup? I was lucky enough to take a quick look outside the door of the "Liu Li Pavilion". The crystal clear feeling is beyond words. "   In the end, Zhang Shoucheng¡¯s plan caused considerable discussion in the public. However, when this discussion reached the end, it was basically all about the dim sum at "Liu Li Pavilion". As for  Are they the members who originally joined Jinxiang Tower?  Although they were extremely disappointed with such a move by Jinxianglou, they saw that Jinxianglou still provided membership withdrawal services. Therefore, they were disappointed and could only choose to refund and withdraw from the membership.  Because, by this time, they have basically understood that it is basically impossible for Jinxianglou to make dim sum like Liuli Pavilion.  And if they want to be able to taste the same dim sum as Liulice at a very low price, that is basically wishful thinking.  Therefore, although they were unwilling to do so, they still had no choice but to refund and withdraw from the membership.  Otherwise, what if Jinxiang Tower really closes down?  The admission fee they paid to Jinxianglou was a hundred taels of silver. If it was used to buy snacks in other dim sum shops, it would be enough to last for several years, but it would be used here at Jinxianglou.  ?  Although the price is as high as Liulice's, dim sum is the most common dim sum, so naturally they cannot accept it.  (To be continued)
