Chapter 237 Curse
Fortunately, it was discovered in time and the big mistake was not made.
But Qiao Weiwei seemed to be obsessed, and she was obsessed with wild men. She resented Qiao Yu'an, her brother, for ruining her marriage, and said she hoped Qiao Yugui was her biological brother.
If Qiao Weiwei hadn't been a woman, Qiao Yu'an would have slapped her in the face.
He was so angry that his heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys ached, but he didn't dare to let his mother know about it.
With Yanlan's temper, if she knew that Qiao Weiwei was so shameless in giving and accepting others, she would probably break Qiao Weiwei's legs with her own hands, and quickly choose a family to marry Qiao Weiwei out of sight.
Qiao Yu'an locked Qiao Weiwei in a separate courtyard. When she couldn't think of a good way, she went to her friend Lu Chengjing for help.
Shang Wan was also present at that time. After hearing the gossip from the boss ladies, she was waiting for Qiao Yuan to come to her door.
She had someone reveal the news to Qiao Yu'an's people, otherwise Qiao Yu'an would not have found out about Qiao Yugui so quickly.
Shang Wan wanted to punish Qiao Yugui and cut off his capital flow so that he would have no money to sell money to Qionghua Restaurant.
And Qiao Yu'an wanted to deal with Qiao Yugui severely and make him suffer a big loss.
The two hit it off almost immediately, and in a few words they came up with the plan to bankrupt Qiao Yugui.
When Qiao Yugui had no money, the eldest family member would pay for it. No matter how soft-hearted Mr. Qiao was, he would not use the money from the second family member to subsidize the eldest family member.
Things went smoothly, Qionghua Restaurant closed down, and Qiao Yu'an also got angry.
As for Qiao Weiwei, after what happened last night, Qiao Yuan had already told her parents everything.
It won't be long before the second bedroom of the Qiao family should be separated.
Many things flashed through Shang Wan's mind at once, but he had a coordinated expression of surprise on his face, perfectly blending into the team of boss ladies.
Catching a glimpse of her expression from the corner of his eye, Mrs. Lou couldn't help but twitch the corners of her eyes, but she didn't say anything.
One of the proprietresses came to a conclusion, "Let's see, after the Chinese New Year, the first and second bedrooms in Qiao Mansion will probably be separated."
This statement is a prophecy.
On the fifth day of the lunar month, the Qiao Mansion separated.
It was so lively that it didn't feel like a family separation, but more like a house raid. It was said that even official officials were there.
Shang Wan did not join in the fun, but was invited to talk with the proprietresses of Lancang Club in Baoyuzhai.
It was still the same box as before, but there were two more people present.
"Ahem."
Shang Wan withdrew his gaze from the open window and looked at the coughing man.
The woman wears a crimson red coat, a snail bun, and a hairpin made of silk flowers of the same color. She has a round face, fair skin, and a plum blossom between her eyebrows, which makes her originally charming face even more charming.
There aren't even a single fine line on her face. If you just look at her face, you can't tell that the woman is already thirty-five.
The woman is the proprietress of Shu's Cloth Shop and the founder of Lancang Club.
Today’s small gathering was also proposed by Mrs. Shu.
"I rashly invited Shopkeeper Shang to come over during the Chinese New Year. It's an emergency, so please don't mind Shopkeeper Shang."
There was a smile on Shang Wan's lips, but there was no smile in his eyes. "I don't like to talk in roundabout ways. Why did Madam Shu invite me to come? I'll tell you the truth."
Madam Shu pursed her lips and stared straight at Shang Wan, "I wonder if Shopkeeper Shang is interested in forming a caravan?"
Caravan?
Shang Wan's heart moved slightly, but his face remained calm, "I'd like to hear the details." Seeing Shang Wan's interest, Madam Shu's smile grew a little brighter.
The other boss ladies obviously already knew that they were just here to keep me company this time. Their eyes flickered between the two of them, but neither of them made a sound.
"I got news that Boss Zhan from Fucheng has a caravan of 100 people that he wants to change hands. I sent someone to check and found that the people in this caravan are all veterans, the members are properly configured, and the camels, horses and vehicles are also complete. Very well run.”
Shang Wan raised his eyebrows, "Since the business is going well, why do you want to change hands?"
The benefits that a well-run caravan can bring are huge. It takes a lot of hard work to run such a caravan. With this sudden change of hands, it is difficult not to make people wonder whether there is something wrong within the caravan. What a problem.
Apparently Mrs. Shu also had Shang Wan's doubts, but the difference was that she had already found out the cause and effect.
"Boss Zhan wants to go overseas to do business in partnership with others, but there is a problem with capital turnover. He wants to sell the caravan to fill this gap."
Shang Wan: "..."
Because you want to make money, you sell your money tree first?
How stupid does it have to be to come up with such a good idea?
She stared at Mrs. Shu.
The founder of Lancang Club shouldn't be a fool, right? This doesn't look like it either.
"Is there something on my face?" Mrs. Shu raised her hand and touched her cheek, looking a little confused.
Shang Wan looked away, picked up the hot goat milk on the table and took a sip before saying, "If you only find out these things, there is no need to say the rest."
Purchasing a caravan requires a lot of money, and she doesn't want to throw her money into the water without hearing a sound.
Upon hearing such straightforward words, Madam Shu was stunned, then she raised her lips and smiled: "Of course it's more than that. Shopkeeper Shang, don't be impatient. Please listen to me in detail."
Shang Wan narrowed his eyes and drank goat's milk in sips while listening.
It is true that Boss Zhan wants to sell the caravan, but the reason is not just the lack of capital turnover.
There was something wrong with the caravan itself.
In short, the caravan was cursed, and a pledger, two guards, and a groom died because of the curse.
Shang Wan never believed in curses. She looked at Mrs. Shu and asked, "Did you really die because of a curse?"
Mrs. Shu nodded, "The curse has caused panic in the caravan. The leader of the caravan is worried about being found by the curse and plans to resign. Otherwise, Boss Zhan would not be so anxious to sell the caravan."
If a caravan wants to run well, the vision of the caravan leader is very important.
When a caravan arrives at a place, what to buy and sell depends entirely on the judgment of the caravan leader. If you make a mistake in judgment, you may lose everything, let alone make money.
Therefore, it is very important to have an experienced caravan leader with unique vision.
If the leader of the caravan resigns, and the rest of the caravan is distracted due to the curse, the caravan will be finished sooner or later.
Boss Zhan obviously wanted to make a fortune from the caravan before the news spread.
"What curse is so powerful?"
Madam Shu shook her head, "Boss Zhan kept the news tightly, so my people can only find out this much."
Shang Wan lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then asked: "Since you know that the caravan is cursed, why do you still want to acquire it?"
Normal people's thinking shouldn't be to stay away from each other, can they not be involved without being involved?
Mrs. Shu said something that surprised Shang Wan, "I don't believe in curses."
Shang Wan looked at her and saw that she had a bright smile and her voice was full of confidence. "Wealth is gained through danger. I hope to cooperate with Shopkeeper Shang. What does Shopkeeper Shang think?"
Shang Wan slowly drank the last bit of goat milk in the bowl, with a smile in his eyes, and asked: "What price did Boss Zhan offer?"
