Chapter 139: Opening a Business and Finding Trouble
Two days later.
Yuntai Town.
In front of Lu Kee’s store.
With a burst of crackling firecrackers sounded.
More than a dozen Luji stores have officially opened.
Except for two rice stores, the other thirteen stores were all changed to sell things brought by Lu Ning.
Everyone with some status in the town came.
Everyone came to support Lu Ning.
Mayor Huang, An Yanguang's father, and the squires from surrounding villages and towns.
Even the battalion commander of Yinshan Camp, Yan Hongmei's father, Yan Wanbao, also came.
Red ribbons, red lanterns, and crowds of people watching suddenly became festive.
The things displayed in the shop are all Western gadgets that people rarely see.
Such as lighters, binoculars, watches, etc.
People in the town were extremely curious about it and wanted to come in and take a look, whether they wanted to buy it or not.
The most popular ones are probably the stores that specialize in buying women's products.
"These shoes are so pretty, too."
After hearing the news, women came over one after another, holding high heels, with expressions of surprise on their faces.
In addition to high heels, there are also women's rouge and lipstick.
"Boss, how much does this cost?"
"Five dollars."
"Wow, it's so expensive."
Suddenly, several girls looked a little ugly.
They were frightened by the high price.
Five yuan is equivalent to a month's salary of an ordinary person.
Although I knew that this kind of foreign goods might be expensive, I didn't expect it to be so expensive.
However, if some people cannot afford it, then of course some people can afford it.
"I want this pair."
"I want these two pairs!"
Those who can afford it are rich women wearing cheongsam.
Five dollars is nothing to them.
the other side.
Several men gathered around the lighter and refused to leave.
"How much does this lighter cost?"
"A piece of ocean." the shopkeeper replied.
"One piece of ocean, which is much cheaper than the lighters in the county. I went to the county before and asked, and their lighters cost ten oceans each."
Some onlookers seemed to hear big business opportunities from inside.
"It doesn't seem like the kerosene in this is kerosene."
"Boss, can I try?"
"Please."
With a click, the lighter burst into flames.
"Okay, okay, it's really convenient."
"Boss, bring me a hundred lighters like this."
"Okay."
Every shop is crowded with people.
Mayor Huang and many squires greeted Lu Ning, bought some symbolic things, and then gradually left.
In front of a relatively large store.
Yan Hongmei was holding a telescope and looking at the surrounding environment with joy on her face.
Through the telescope, all the blurred scenery seen by the distant eyes can be seen clearly.
"I've heard about Western telescopes for a long time. I've wanted to buy one for a long time, but I didn't expect you also have one here."
"How much does one cost for you? I'll buy one." Yan Hongmei turned to look at Lu Ning and asked.
At this moment, she was like a child who suddenly got her favorite toy.
So happy.
"How much more do you need to buy it? Since you are so alienated from me at this time, I will give it to you."
"You really gave it to me?"
When she heard that Lu Ning was going to send her off, her face became even more happy.
"I gave it to you. Also, I just saw you looking at this watch for so long, so I gave it to you too."
Lu Ning picked up a silver ladies' watch on the counter and handed it to Yan Hongmei.
"What do you think of this?" Yan Hongmei didn't refuse, she came over and asked with joy on her face.
"This is one point, this is two points."
"Let me tell you, this will still light up at night."
"Really, it will still be bright at night?" Yan Hongmei thought it was very magical.
"Yes, you will know by the evening."
Lu Ning replied.
The hands inside this quartz watch have green fluorescence and will turn green at night.
At this time.
Five college students also came to Lu Ning's shop.
"Captain Lu."
"Captain Lu."
Several people nodded towards Lu Ning.
The two girls glanced at Lu Ning and then at Yan Hongmei.
They didn't dare to show too much enthusiasm for fear that Yan Hongmei would misunderstand.
"Have a look around. If you like it, I'll give you a cheaper price." Lu Ning said to several people.
"Thank you, Captain Lu."
Regardless of whether they bought something or not, they all thanked them in advance.
They are also curious about the items in the store.
They had naturally seen watches, telescopes and other things before, but they had seen them in the city. They didn't expect that they could see them in small towns now.
"Shopkeeper, how much does this watch cost?" Wang Shudong on the side has already taken a fancy to a watch.
The watch is black and looks quite classy.
"This watch costs 15 yuan," the shopkeeper said to him.
Wang Shudong nodded, but felt a little surprised in his heart.
This watch is more beautiful than the ones he saw in the city, but the price in the city is 20 yuan.
Unexpectedly, it only costs fifteen dollars here.
"This watch will still light up at night," the shopkeeper said mysteriously.
"Is it really so magical?" This made Wang Shudong interested.
He had never seen a watch that glowed at night.
He had already decided to buy it.
At this time, Lu Ning came over and said to him: "Shopkeeper, just give him seven yuan. Also, remember the appearance of these five people. In the future, when they enter the store to buy things, they will all be given a half discount."
."
"Old Mr. Lu," the shopkeeper responded quickly.
"Then I'll thank Commander Lu."
Wang Shudong was not polite, thanked Lu Ning, took out seven yuan and handed it to the shopkeeper.
"I want this watch."
"I want this piece."
When the other five people saw this, they all chose a watch they liked, paid the money and put it on their wrists immediately.
Being able to buy their favorite watches at such a cheap price makes several people extremely happy.
They thanked Lu Ning again and left the store. Lu Ning took a look and found that several people had entered the store next to him again.
Apart from them, other people were also constantly going in and out of various stores.
Even the store where Lu Ning was staying was starting to get crowded.
Seeing more and more people entering, Lu Ning walked out with Yan Hongmei.
"Lu Ning, you're not afraid of losing money by selling it to them so cheaply."
After coming out, Yan Hongmei couldn't help but ask Lu Ning.
She is going to marry Lu Ning in the future. Now seeing her future husband selling his watch so cheaply, she already feels a little sorry for him.
A few dollars doesn't seem to be much now, but she just heard Lu Ning say that in the future, everyone who comes over will get a half discount.
This is the big head.
If a few people know how to do business, they can wholesale it from Lu Ning and then sell it to others at a low price.
Since then, Lu Ning has been doing more loss-making business.
"It doesn't matter, I know what's going on."
Lu Ning smiled at her.
He can't say that he actually spent a few dollars to buy these watches.
Very cheap.
If I really said that, I was afraid that Yan Hongmei would drop her watch on the spot.
Just then, the county pawnshop owner came.
It was Lu Ning who informed him, and he now knows that the other person's name is Xu Dingrong, known as shopkeeper Xu.
"Captain Lu, congratulations."
Shopkeeper Xu immediately raised his hands and congratulated him, with a happy face.
"polite."
"Go to the store over there and take a look. If you like something, you can take it away first."
Lu Ning was interested in the sales channels of his pawn shop and planned to sell them on consignment in his store.
The money from the sale is divided into 28%.
"Okay, Commander Lu, the store you open will definitely not disappoint me."
Lu Ning took Yan Hongmei and shopkeeper Xu to a shop next door.
This shop displays antique jades, and the decoration is obviously more upscale than other shops.
"Master Lu."
The shopkeeper and waiters in the store saw Lu Ning arriving and nodded hurriedly to say hello.
"Go and make tea."
The shopkeeper ordered the waiter.
"I won't drink any more. Just give this shopkeeper Xu a cup of tea."
"Okay, Mr. Lu."
At this time, Shopkeeper Xu was already studying the various jade items on display.
"Okay, okay, treasures, these are all treasures."
He took out a magnifying glass from his pocket, looked at it, and nodded.
The red unicorn, the golden cicada, and the green brave made him unable to take his eyes off them.
He wanted to pack up everything here and take it back.
"You can take whatever you want with you, no need to be polite to me."
Lu Ning saw the desire in the other person's eyes and smiled.
"Okay, okay."
With Lu Ning's agreement, Shopkeeper Xu smiled broadly.
He was worried about having nothing to sell, but he didn't expect Lu Ning to send him such a large number of treasures.
Now he is really going to get rich.
"You take your time and watch it first, I won't stay with you any longer."
"Okay, you're busy, you're busy."
Shopkeeper Xu turned his head, said hello, and then plunged into the jade.
Lu Ning exchanged a few words with the shopkeeper and left with Yan Hongmei.
The two of them had not gone far when they were stopped by Yuan Dabin.
"Dabin, what are you doing?" Yan Hongmei frowned.
She saw something was wrong with Yuan Dabin.
"I have something to ask Commander Lu."
"What do you want from me?" Lu Ning looked at him and asked.
"I heard from Uncle Bao that you plan to marry Hong Mei?" Yuan Dabin stared at Lu Ning, looking him up and down.
"That's right."
"Do you know that Uncle Bao originally planned to let Sister Hong marry me?"
Yuan Dabin stared at Lu Ning closely, his eyes a little unkind.
If Lu Ning hadn't suddenly appeared, Yan Hongmei would have been his sooner or later.
"Dabin, it doesn't matter who I marry, it doesn't matter who I marry. I never said I would marry you. If you plan to trouble Lu Ning today, just get out of here."
Yan Hongmei scolded loudly, not giving him any face.
"Hong Mei, today is a matter between us two men. I hope you don't interfere. He can marry you if he wants, but he must get through me." Yuan Dabin would not give in at all.
Lu Ning is very rich and powerful, he admitted.
However, as a man, you must behave like a man.
He felt that if challenged one-on-one, he would not lose to Lu Ning.
Lu Ning looked like a pretty boy. From the beginning, he felt that Yan Hongmei fell in love with him because he was so handsome.
How could such a pretty boy be his opponent?
Today, he planned to teach Lu Ning a lesson.
Yan Hongmei wanted to stop her, but Lu Ning spoke up and asked, "Oh, how do you want to compete?"
He knew that if he didn't defeat the opponent today, there would be a rift between Yan Hongmei and the opponent sooner or later.
This will have an impact on Yan Hongmei's future management.
Moreover, would he be afraid of competitions or something like that?
Don't bully children too much.
He planned to make this love rival convinced of his defeat.
