Is Chapter 1542 still over?
Against all odds, Li You could not have expected that thieves from the entire Chang'an City would come to visit on the first day of opening...
I am a prince after all. Although I am not favored among His Majesty's sons, is it a bit too much for you thieves to be so unscrupulous?
Don’t use the prince as an onion...
Li You was very angry, and the consequences were very serious. He immediately ordered people to tie up all the thieves and send them to Jingzhao Yin Yamen to be severely punished by Ma Zhou according to the law. Ma Zhou is the most cold-blooded and fair person. Even if the children of aristocratic families make mistakes, he will punish them severely without any scruples, let alone a group of thieves who deliberately steal the prince's assets?
If nothing else goes wrong, the minimum that awaits them is jail, and in more severe cases, they may even be exiled from the army.
However, what's even worse is not just that...
He ordered the stolen child to be sent to the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion. As a prince, Li You naturally did not need to go with him. Moreover, Ma Zhou's impartial and selfless character did not require supervision, so Li You continued to stay in the teahouse and waited for closing time in the evening. View the accounts for today's operations.
Even if there are a lot of thieves coming, look at the traffic, it must be a huge profit, right?
When he thought of the yellow copper coins flowing into the warehouse, the depression caused by the thieves was slightly relieved, and His Highness King Qi felt happy again.
It is indeed the way to make money figured out by the "God of Wealth"!
When this supermarket was being prepared, whoever heard its core business philosophy would not give a thumbs up and praise the wonderful idea? Everyone said that this business must be profitable. If His Highness King Qi hadn't taken the lead, everyone would have wanted to learn from it.
What Li You was most proud of was that he snatched away the money-making method that Fang Jun had just thought of, and moved his father to suppress Fang Jun tightly, so that the man could only watch him make money without making any progress. None...
In fact, there is no conflict between Li You and Fang Jun. On the contrary, they have become very close because of their cooperation in Qizhou. The hatred of Fang Jun who was severely beaten by Fang Jun has long been gained with Li You's dumping of glass products in Goguryeo. Huge profits disappeared.
But Li You is a man who cares nothing about power and reputation. He only has inner demons about money, so he has to overcome this obstacle...
As long as he sees money, he wants to put it in his pocket. In front of money, no prince or Fang Jun can do anything, and no one can stop his desire to make money.
However, in the evening, the brilliant sunset shined through the window and turned the house into a bright golden color. Yin Hongzhi handed the account book he had just sorted out for today to Li You. Li You looked like he had seen a ghost. Jaw-dropping, in disbelief.
"This... uncle is not wrong?"
Li You looked at the account books, then looked up at Yin Hongzhi, then at the account books, and then at Yin Hongzhi...
Is this hell?
Yin Hongzhi's face twitched and he looked strange: "Wei Chen has checked it three times to make sure it is correct."
How could it be wrong?
The whole day's sales were only over 18,000 Wen, which amounted to less than 20 Wen. Even if a child who had just learned arithmetic was dragged from the school, he would probably not be wrong, let alone everyone in the supermarket. A dozen experienced accounting stewards transferred to Beijing from the palace's stores all over the world?
However, the truth is so cruel and unbelievable.
The supermarket, which had huge investment and huge fanfare, had less than 20 sales on the first day of its opening...
As for profit?
Haha, the sales volume is not even twenty dollars, is it necessary to calculate the profit...
Li You stared at the account book in his hand with wide eyes, as if he wanted to find a flower, but looking left and right, he still saw the dazzling numbers.
"This is impossible!"
Scratching his head fiercely, Li You looked confused: "I am just watching here. So many people entered the supermarket, how could they only sell so few things? Everyone looked at the dazzling array of rare and exotic goods in the South China Sea and the North that day. Why? Don’t have the urge to buy? Besides, our price is not expensive!”
More than inexpensive?
In order to attract the people of Chang'an to come and buy, Li You even added 10% to the cost of all the goods. This is a completely conscientious price, okay?
Looking at the Tang Dynasty, where can there be such a conscientious businessman like him?
But we have dug our hearts out, why should everyone pay for it...
Li You was puzzled.
"Is it because those thieves have affected people's desire to buy?"
After much deliberation and no clue, Li You had no choice but to put the blame on those damn thieves. Most of the customers are ordinary people who have met so many thieves. I guess they have some scruples in their hearts. They are afraid that the thieves will steal the goods from the supermarket and invest their money at the same time?
Yin Hongzhi also couldn't understand why the seemingly prosperous business was not making money.
Not only is it not making money, but after deducting the various expenses of people eating horse chews, based on this sales volume, His Highness the King of Qi will go bankrupt...
He also felt that Tou'er's patronage had affected the business, so he nodded repeatedly and said: "I think that's probably the case, it's so disgusting! Tomorrow morning, Wei Chen will go to Jingzhao Mansion in person to urge Jing Zhaoyin to deal with those damned Too'er Strict punishment to serve as a warning! Otherwise, if all the thieves in Chang'an City come to visit the supermarket, what's the point?"
What else can be done?
Li You nodded dejectedly. The joy of the first day of opening was disturbed by these damn thieves. While His Highness King Qi was angry and aggrieved, he had no choice but to pin his hope on tomorrow, hoping that after the thieves caught today were severely punished, It can achieve the purpose of killing one person as a warning to others...
*****
Li You didn't sleep much all night.
Speaking of which, in the past, although His Highness King Qi loved money, he had a temper and was impatient and would leave all business to his subordinates. But this time, he really had too many expectations for the supermarket. From preparation to opening, a lot of effort was put into it.
Because he firmly believed that the business he "risked his own life" to steal from Fang Jun could make a lot of money, and it was a long-term business. As long as it was managed properly, it could be regarded as the pillar industry of Prince Qi's palace.
Otherwise, how could he be willing to offend Fang Jun?
However, as the saying goes, the greater the expectation, the greater the hope. The first day's turnover was really a blow to the head of Li You, who was full of fighting spirit, and made him a little confused...
It was early in the morning and I fell asleep in a daze. When I opened my eyes, the sun had already climbed up to the window lattice, and the bright sunshine made people dizzy.
Li You rubbed his eyelids, suddenly remembered something, got up and shouted: "What time is it now?"
"It's three quarters before I get back to Your Highness."
Two pretty little maids hurriedly opened the door curtain and walked in. One of them whispered back.
"At three o'clock in the morning? Mother!"
Li You jumped up from the bed, kicked the little maid who was talking out with a flying kick, and cursed: "You are all useless! Why did you wake me up at this hour? You delayed my important event, so be careful with you. Head!”
There was no such thing as sympathy at this moment. The situation in the supermarket had completely occupied his mind.
The little maid's delicate and delicate body was kicked backwards by Li You and flew far away. She gasped in pain, but she did not dare to cry out in pain. She endured the pain and obediently stepped forward to wait on Li You to wash and change clothes. , prepare breakfast...
Li You put on his clothes and ate a few mouthfuls of food, then anxiously called a few guards, went out and rode straight to Guangdefang.
When the general arrived in front of the supermarket, he saw a large group of people surrounding the door, blocking the door.
Is business so good?
Li You was so happy that he stopped the guards who were trying to drive away the people. He jumped off his horse and, surrounded by the guards, slid along the wall to enter the supermarket.
Just kidding, these people are now my king's food and clothing parents, how can they be treated as roughly as before?
Be gentle...
However, before he could take a few steps out, he saw a commotion in the supermarket, and then several guards from the Qi Prince's Palace who acted as "security guards" in the supermarket pushed a few ragged people out to the street. On top, there was a beating and kicking.
This scene... seems familiar?
Mother!
It was like this yesterday, and it’s like this again today?
When did so many thieves appear in Chang'an City? !
His Highness King Qi's pupils were filled with blood and he almost went crazy with anger! Is it easy for me to make some money? Um? Is it easy to just ask you? As a result, you came in groups to cause trouble for me. What does it mean for me to make money and hinder you? It is simply unbearable!
Li You was furious in his heart. He pushed away the people who were watching the fun in front of him and rushed over in a few steps. He raised the whip in his hand and shouted angrily: "You bastard! You can't even get along with me." Right? I’ll beat you to death!”(End of Chapter)
