Chapter 1541 Reality is very skinny
Li You is a bit greedy for money and a bit stupid, but when it comes to the way of cultivating goods, he is actually somewhat capable.
The core of the supermarket is to face the majority of Chang'an residents. It sells at the low end and wins with small profits but quick turnover. Of course, this so-called "low-end" and so-called "small profits but quick turnover" are relative to those of aristocratic families. For ordinary people, they are actually mid-to-high-end, a bit luxurious, but not unaffordable. , but in the end you will be attracted by convenience and speed...
This is the essence.
Therefore, Li You was very concerned about the location of the supermarket. After comprehensive consideration, he opened the supermarket at the entrance of the West City, not the door directly opposite the Jingzhao Mansion Yamen, but the east gate of the West City next to Guangde Square. That doorway.
Guangdefang not only has several Buddhist temples, but also two Persian temples. It is usually a place where Hu and Han people mix. Most of the residents are Han and Hu merchants from all over the world. The purchasing power of these people is naturally much stronger than that of ordinary people. First of all, and because they live in Chang'an, the demand for some daily necessities is obviously greater.
It has to be said that His Highness King Qi spent a long time researching on the location. At least it solved the supermarket’s customer source problem and laid the solid foundation for a prosperous business...
****
Early in the morning, King Li You of Qi brought Yin Hongzhi to Guangdefang, and rented the second floor of a teahouse opposite the supermarket to observe the operation of the supermarket up close.
Compared with sitting in the supermarket and looking at various accounts, Li You feels that it is better to find problems from the perspective of a bystander. Of course, it can also be said that the only way to see the crowds of people at the entrance of the supermarket is from the teahouse opposite the supermarket. Heel's grand occasion can give him the greatest sense of satisfaction and achievement, although the business in this supermarket was "plagiarized" from elsewhere...
At three o'clock in the morning, there were obviously more pedestrians on the street.
Standing in front of the window of the tea house, Li You looked at the gradually increasing flow of people on the street and said with satisfaction: "It seems that the publicity effect is not bad. Fang Er's skills in selling goods are really good. Just this one The publicity strategy is applicable to almost all transactions. If the transaction receives the greatest attention as soon as it is launched, half the battle is won. ”
Jealousy was jealousy, but Li You truly respected, feared and admired Fang Jun. He would never "plagiarize" Fang Jun's business and then despise and promote himself.
Yin Hongzhi was not as excited as Li You. The past few days of running around had almost exhausted his energy. He opened his bloodshot eyes and took a sip of strong tea to refresh himself. After hearing this, he agreed: "The smell of wine is also scary in the alley." No matter how good the supermarket is, it still needs to attract attention. Okay, we have been publicizing it for many days in a row. The whole of Chang'an knows the news of the opening of the supermarket. Even ordinary people and merchants who don't want to come to the supermarket to buy things want to join in the fun, and as long as they come, they will become potential customers. ”
Although the preparation time is still short and I have not purchased too many specialties from various places, even so, the supermarket already has more than a hundred kinds of products. This number is more than twice as much as the largest store in the West Market. Ice cubes are placed in the warehouse converted from a private house after the supermarket, which has long been filled with a dazzling array of goods.
Li You was in a great mood. He turned around and sat down at the table and drank half a pot of herbal tea. He then asked the guards to fill the ice basin with ice. The cold air lingered around the room, which was cool and pleasant, unlike the poisonous and spicy outside. separated by the sun.
As soon as noon arrives, the supermarket opens to welcome customers!
A row of doors were pushed open from the inside, and people who had been waiting for a long time on the street in front of the door poured in, all wanting to see this supermarket that "gathers rare treasures from all over the world"...
Li You leaned against the window and watched with a smile on his face. He remembered Fang Jun's words - customer flow is directly proportional to sales. The more customers there are, the more goods will be sold and the more money will be earned!
Look at the crowds swarming in. Isn't half the people from Chang'an City here?
Even if only one-tenth of them are consumed in supermarkets, that is still an astronomical figure!
Li You smiled from ear to ear and was already imagining waiting until the supermarket closes an hour before the curfew to calculate today's income figures. Making money every day is definitely not a dream!
Seeing Li You's cheerful appearance, Yin Hongzhi was also very pleased. He has always had great expectations for Li You, hoping that he would be able to succeed and stand out among the princes such as the Crown Prince, King Wei, King Wu, King Jin, etc., win the position of crown prince, and one day ascend the throne!
The blood feud between the Yin clan has become impossible to repay with blood. Yin Hongzhi hopes to take revenge on Li Tang by assisting Li You in ascending the throne!
What if you kill the entire Wuyin clan?
Your illustrious empire, Li Tang, expanded its territory, and in the end, didn’t a descendant of my Yin clan ascend the throne and become emperor?
This is more satisfying than killing all the Li Tang royal family...
Yin Hongzhi was very pleased and felt that Li You was on the right path. Through the way of cultivating goods, he proved that he was no worse than those princes with good reputations. Although the way of cultivating goods was not successful, he finally saw hope, right? ?
At this moment, he looked at Li You and said warmly: "Wei Chen has sent people to inform the dignitaries and aristocratic families in Chang'an, saying that His Highness will open business today. Although he will not accept congratulations, he can invite everyone to come to the supermarket to shop in the evening. At that time, His Highness will entertain the distinguished guests at Pingkangfang, and Weichen has already booked the Accord in Zuixian Tower.”
In fact, this can be regarded as a disguised form of receiving congratulations...
Just imagine, Li You's business is open, and he doesn't receive congratulations, but he has to show off, right? Then the easiest way is to buy a large amount of goods from the supermarket. No matter whether you need it or not, as long as the money is spent, His Highness King Qi will naturally remember you and accept your favor.
If you accept the congratulatory gift for fear of causing Fang Jun's dissatisfaction, and people come to shop voluntarily, you Fang Jun shouldn't be unhappy, right?
As for how to confirm who came to buy something and who didn't, that's even simpler, because the supermarket provides a door-to-door service that delivers the goods when the purchase amount is reached. You only need to leave the buyer's name and address, and when the time comes to check the account, who will It is clear at a glance who is here and who is not...
Li You was overjoyed: "This is a good boy, and my uncle is very resourceful. He is actually my son's wife!"
He was feeling distressed that he couldn't accept the congratulations. It was a huge sum of money, but Yin Hongzhi made up for it in another way. How could he not be happy?
Yin Hongzhi's eyelids twitched: "..."
Mother!
I do hope that you will become the crown prince and ascend to the throne of God in the future, but are you seeking death by speaking so freely now?
Just thinking about His Highness Prince Jin who is still in confinement, a layer of fine beads of sweat oozed from Yin Hongzhi's forehead, and he said hurriedly: "Your Highness, be careful, be careful that walls have ears!"
Li You blinked and realized that he had said something treacherous. He was startled and looked around in a panic. He was relieved when he saw that there were only two close guards in the room...
Yin Hongzhi stood up and said: "Your Highness, you must be careful in everything. Do you still need to be warned by me that misfortunes come from your mouth? Your Highness should reflect on it..."
Just as he was talking about this, suddenly there was a noise outside the window.
Li You was close to the window. He turned around and pushed the window open. He looked over and saw a large crowd of people gathered at the entrance of the supermarket. Several guards from the Qi Prince's Mansion who were responsible for maintaining public security were wearing casual clothes and carrying four or five ragged people. The people pushed him out of the gate and kicked and punched him on the street in front of the onlookers, causing an uproar.
Li You was immediately furious: "What do these bastards want to do? They are all customers. Even if they are poor and humble, they still have to show off, right? Even if they want to be taught a lesson, they have to find an alley where no one is. What a dirty trick, beating people like this in front of the people, do you really think that Jing Zhaoyin and Yushitai are both dead?"
Yin Hongzhi said hurriedly: "Your Highness, don't be upset, I will go and have a look."
He hurriedly got up and went downstairs to check the situation.
The guards of Prince Qi's Mansion are used to being arrogant and domineering like Li You, but they beat the people on the first day of business. This is to make the people in the city feel disgusted with the supermarket, so the business can't be opened?
Li You angrily took two sips of tea and cursed a few times. Not long after, Yin Hongzhi came back sweating profusely.
Li You asked: "Why do these bastards beat people?"
Yin Hongzhi's face was extremely ugly, and he said helplessly: "But I can't blame the guards, because those beaten people stole things from the supermarket..."
"What?!"
Li You jumped three feet high, his eyes widened and he said angrily: "Don't these bastards want to die? Do you dare to steal my things? Send them to Jing Zhaoyin quickly and let Ma Zhou punish you severely!"
Before he finished speaking, there was another commotion outside the window. Li You looked over again and saw that the guards were escorting several civilians out again, beating and kicking them again...
Li You was stunned: "What's going on? All the thieves in Chang'an have come to take care of me today?"
Yin Hongzhi wiped his sweat and said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, this is already three waves, the third wave was captured on the spot, and there are others who escaped after they succeeded. I don't know how many people there are. Wei Chen has already died." People inspected the goods and suffered heavy losses..."
Li You was stunned for a long time and shouted angrily: "Mother! Is it possible that I have to do some business and have to be stolen by these thieves?"
Yin Hongzhi looked embarrassed: "Your Highness, this is not the worst..."
Li You: "..."
Mother! What could be worse than this? !
