[Sherlock Holmes] Captured a detective

Chapter 89

In the end, Jenny didn't know what the case was, and Sherlock and John were required to leave England secretly.But after the two men on the second floor left, Jenny felt that it was a little too quiet: there were no men with mud boots, no crying old women, and even the street children's detective team no longer appeared. .

Just one day, I feel a little lonely~

Time to keep yourself busy.Jenny didn't plan to work for the time being. She called Peter Pedro to liquidate her property, including all fixed assets, stocks and other securities... The result was unexpected. Even Jenny herself didn't expect it. He was already a rich man.

"My God, Mrs. Hudson, you are richer than the three of us combined." Peter rubbed his face and said in a joking tone.

Peter really admires the lady in front of him. As an ordinary middle-class woman, even if she can get a dowry of 3000 pounds from her parents, there is usually no way to make it 5000 pounds, unless it includes a shop, or It is left to others to take care of.Judging from the news he got from "hearsay", Jenny seemed to be very poor before, so she earned such a fortune by herself... Peter can only regret that Jenny is not a man.

"Don't worry, Mrs. Hudson, I will keep this a secret." Peter assured that it is not a good thing to be known that Jenny has such a family background.

"Thank you, Mr. Pedro." Jenny still believed in Peter's professional ethics, "Mr. Pedro, do you think, if I want to invest in the factory, do I have enough money now?"

"Investing in a factory?" Peter's eyes widened, and Jenny surprised him again.

Peter, Remus, and Sirius opened a wide range of companies, including securities trading, agency, overseas trade, etc. This is actually the tragedy of small companies, no matter what part of the work they receive, they must be capable.Therefore, it is normal for Peter to have some understanding of the current money-making industry. Because of this, he knows that if he wants to make money, he still has to open a factory.

Of course, opening a factory does not necessarily mean making money. There are still many things that need to be considered and involved, such as sales issues and so on.But compared to most people's idea that farming is the only way to get rich, Jenny's idea is rare...compared to her gender...Of course, women like her are already very rare.

Peter dutifully calculated again for a long time, and showed his big teeth to Jenny, "What kind of factory do you want to open, Mrs. Hudson?" He explained, "It's not worthwhile to invest all your money , so I presumptuously remove your fixed assets on Baker Street, and the rest is liquid funds, as well as the stocks and futures you hold... Oh, I really don’t recommend you sell the stocks, this is A fixed income. If you want to open a factory by yourself, it will definitely not work, but if you can find a partner, you can try it. Of course, you can’t do it yourself, and you need an agent..." Peter put everything he could think of Everything was thought of.

The calculations are not enough, Jenny feels very frustrated, there is nothing more frustrating than you know what can make money but have no principal, let alone she is a woman, and it is not so easy to borrow money ... I guess Sherlock has no money... Poor husband, what use is there for you!snort!

Well, they are actually a poor couple... _(:3)∠)_

"How far is it?"

"That depends on what kind of factory you want to open."

"Garment factory." Jenny had already thought about this.There are many textile mills and tanneries near London, and there is no shortage of raw materials.The upper-class people don't buy ready-to-wear clothes. They always find tailors to make them tailored, so Jenny's market is in the vast middle class.Those wives don't have so much spare money to make clothes according to the four seasons, but they can still afford to buy the cheap ready-made clothes. If they don't fit, they can change them by themselves. Every woman in this era has a good female celebrity .

There are raw materials and markets, but the problem lies in reducing production costs and clothing technology.The workers are cheap, and Jenny can also hire cheaper women and children to do it, but she doesn't know anything about machines, not to mention some secrets will be involved later, such as the style of clothes... Not only does she need a reliable agent, and a trustworthy manager is also needed.

After receiving the information, Peter thought hard for a while, sweating from his nose.

"If you don't mind, I'd like to recommend Lupine to be your agent," said Peter. "He's always been good at this. There are some parts, such as machines, that I'm not familiar with, so I can't take the cost estimate into consideration." Very precise." Peter wiped his forehead.

In fact, the three of them are not incompetent people, but... they also don't have the capital to make the company bigger, _(:3)∠)_

"Forget it for the time being." Jenny stood up and poured a cup of tea and handed it to Peter. "Instead of being so careful about budgeting and tearing down the east wall to make up for the west wall, it's better to start this project when there is more money."

Peter is very optimistic about this project, because Jenny is already familiar with both the raw materials and the market. Naturally, it is easy to talk about the workers. The main problem is the machine.

"I'll tell Lupine and Black to keep them on the lookout, we've had so many free meals from you that a little help is fine." Feeling embarrassed to eat too much.

"If it really starts to open, I would like to ask your company to help me manage it. You said that Mr. Lu Ping is acting as an agent? If the time is right, I would like to talk to him." This is the sadness of having no connections, You have to do everything yourself.

Peter was very happy, "I will definitely tell Lupine."

Jenny drew a pie, but Peter thought it was an opportunity. Isn't that how his own word of mouth came about?If Jenny hadn't believed in him at the beginning and let him be her securities consultant, he might still spend a day in that small room and then go home to sleep.

Remus had no problem either, he was more than happy to help Jenny keep an eye on the machines she needed.This era is very harsh on men who are not heirs. In order to preserve the integrity of the property, only the eldest son can inherit everything in the family, while the other sons have to find another way of life. Becoming a priest, joining the army, or being a small employee is considered good. that's it.The path Remus chose was to become a businessman.

For Jenny, Remus was actually very grateful and admired.Compared to Peter, Remus noticed Jenny's ability earlier, whether it was business (embroiderer) or securities speculation, this woman's performance made Remus feel that she was very sophisticated.Moreover, the contacts in Jenny's hands made Remus willing to help her.

So when Laimster came to tell Jenny that the machine had been settled, Jenny was a little distressed. It seemed that everyone was pushing her to open a factory, but her capital was still very tight, and this was the biggest problem. .And what Jenny didn't tell Peter was that in addition to the ready-made garment factory, she also planned to open a matching ready-made clothing store, which not only sold her ready-made clothes, but Jenny also planned to make some exclusive accessories for shopping in the store, such as various Plant silk flowers, such as embroidered ribbons, such as small jewelry made of beads, etc...

……

…………

No money! ! !

So annoying! ! !

There is no manager! ! ! !No one looks at the store! ! ! !

So annoying! ! !

Putting down her fingers scratching her head, Jenny quickly made a decision. She raked her hair, curled them casually, then lay down on the table and quickly wrote a letter, wrapped it in a letter, and finally pressed the button bell.

"Fantine, post this letter." Jenny handed the letter to Fantine, "Let me know if there is a reply."

"Okay, ma'am."

Jenny combed her hair again, put on a warm coat again, and went on with her work.In order to earn more money, Jenny began to work diligently as an embroidery worker. Tom's store is mainly for high-end guest rooms, and the ready-to-wear factory that Jenny is going to open is for the middle class, and the business does not conflict.

The dresses in Jenny's hands may be worth a lot, and a few are enough for her to raise money to open a factory, but poor Jenny is struggling day by day for the money.

Jenny soon received a reply, and the good news brought by the letter lifted her spirits.According to the time in the letter, Jenny did not bring Fantine and went out alone.

Jenny tried to knock on the door, and immediately there was a voice of "please come in", she opened the door and walked into the box.The box is not big, but it is very hidden, and the noisy environment covers up the voice of speaking. It is a good place to tell secrets, but Jenny doesn't think what she will say later will be any secrets.

Today is Shakespeare's "Macbeth". If it was normal, Jenny would definitely enjoy this play, but her main purpose today is not to watch the play.

The tall fat man in the box was very conspicuous, and he was obviously waiting for Jenny.

"Dear Jenny, I'm waiting for you."

"Thank you for the invitation, Mycroft."

Jenny stepped forward and kissed Mycroft's cheek twice, and only then did she realize that there was a woman sitting beside Mycroft... She was very slender, maybe a little too slender, so that the chair It completely covered her figure.Jenny looked her over quickly.

This is indeed a beauty, with black hair, oval face, big eyes, two curved and slender eyebrows, and when the thick eyelashes are lowered, they cast a faint shadow under the eyes.The slender and straight nose reveals a sense of aura, a small upright mouth is well defined, and the color of the skin is like the fleece on a peach that has not been touched by human hands.

There is still a little childishness on her face, but her eyes have revealed the melancholy of the vicissitudes of life.This is probably the most beautiful lady Jenny has ever seen, even the Marchioness of Beveridge.

This lady habitually modified her face. The makeup technology of this era cannot achieve the effect of Jenny's nude makeup. In layman's terms, good women don't know how to make up.

Jenny smiled and asked, "Mycroft, you didn't say you would come with a lovely lady...won't you introduce me?"

"This is Miss Madeleine Pike." Mycroft did not introduce each other to them, but first opened the chair for Jenny to sit down.
