In an elegant villa, more than a dozen men in rich and colorful clothes gathered together. One of them stared at the general manager of the department store angrily, his face instantly darkened, and he said coldly: "The total investment in the department store is more than 150,000 yuan.
, he actually offered a counteroffer of 10,000 yuan, how dare he?"
"That's right, it's insincere and deliberately humiliating. We would rather break it than sell it." Someone agreed.
The others were silent in thought, their eyes filled with anger.
Assets of 150,000 guan are discounted to 100,000 guan. You are very sincere. What else do you want?
But when I thought of Qin Huaidao's identity and the current situation, I calmed down in an instant. His eyes were full of unwillingness, sadness, helplessness and bitterness. The Shandong aristocratic family and the Jiangnan noble family joined forces, but they failed to go through a round in the hands of Qin Huaidao, and everything ended up in a mess.
Even if you lose, you will lose all your capital. What is this?
Kong Yingda still sits in a high position and is not interested in everyone's losses. He is not involved in the department store affairs. The reason why he came here is just to take into account the old feelings of Shandong's aristocratic families advancing and retreating together, and hoping that everyone will support him against Qin Huaidao being the examiner.
Selfishness.
Seeing that everyone was in mourning and had no fighting spirit, Kong Yingda curled his lips with some disdain. This mentality should be more like Hanwangdu. It was simply overestimating one's abilities. Fortunately, he was worried at first and did not follow him. He deliberately coughed to attract everyone's attention.
Attracted.
Someone bowed and said, "Master Kong, is there any way to solve this problem?"
"Yes, please give me some advice from Master Kong!"
"Master Kong, please give me some advice!"
Everyone bowed and saluted with a very low posture.
In everyone's opinion, Kong Yingda is a great scholar of his generation, the wisest being in the world. There is no problem that cannot be solved. However, Kong Yingda knows very well that he is not good at business, but he cannot openly say that it will insult his image. He fixed his eyes and said slowly: "Everyone,
The top priority is to get the position of chief examiner of Ming Jing Ke. Otherwise, how will you and other descendants enter the court and serve as officials? As long as you enter the official career, what does this loss count? The official career is the right way!"
Of course everyone understands the importance of career, but it feels heartbreaking to lose so much money all of a sudden.
One person bowed and bowed: "Master Kong, the imperial edict has been issued. It is a foregone conclusion that the King of Han will become the chief examiner of the Ming Dynasty. Although we are dissatisfied, it is difficult to change. I wonder if Master Kong can do anything? We will just obey."
"Please ask Master Kong to teach me."
Everyone said in unison again.
Kong Yingda enjoyed the feeling of being obeyed, convinced, and admired. He stroked his beard and said with a smile: "The King of Han is indeed talented, but he is not proficient in the meaning of the scriptures. How can he come up with scientific examination questions? We only need to grasp this point and then
Let all the disciples in the Imperial College mobilize their classmates and jointly submit a letter to the court, and I think we can change the holy will."
"Great kindness!"
Everyone praised him one after another and his mood improved a lot.
One person asked: "Now that we have a countermeasure for Mingjingke, should we discuss the Department Store Pavilion? If we don't sell it to the King of Han, what will happen next?"
If the mall collapses, you can either continue to invest, revitalize popularity and achieve profits, or liquidate assets and stop losses in time. There are no more than these two paths.
Everyone is a sensible person, but once the market opened and the news that sticks can kill people was exposed, the department store lost face and its image plummeted. People were unwilling to come to the store. How could it continue to operate unless it increased investment and changed its management?
Model and direction, what else can we do if we don’t do department stores?
For a while, everyone was speechless and unable to make a decision.
One person couldn't help but suggested: "If it really doesn't work, go back to the original and continue to be a brothel."
The brothel makes money, and everyone is familiar with it. At least it is much more than selling Qin Huaidao for 10,000 guan. Everyone's eyes lit up and they nodded, but one person jumped out and reminded: "The brothel is familiar and can make money, but it was in the past and now.
Where can I find girls? How can I run a brothel without girls?"
The words were like thunder, waking everyone up instantly.
There are two sources of women in brothels. One is official prostitutes, who are made up of the children of criminal officials. However, official prostitutes are controlled by the Ministry of Rites and are out of reach of everyone. The other is the trade of female slaves, but the imperial court has become increasingly strict on the slave trade. In addition,
Qinjiazhuang has become quite popular in the past year and has provided many jobs. Many families have been able to survive and would not sell their daughters to survive.
If the official prostitutes are out of reach and there is no trade in female slaves, how can a brothel be opened?
Thinking of this, everyone hated Qin Huaidao even more.
One person cursed bitterly: "As soon as Hanwang's clothing shop, workshop, barbecue bar and the original department store opened, a large number of women went to work, and even the women who worked in brothels redeemed themselves one after another and ran to work as service workers. Isn't this right?
Give us a way to survive. If it doesn’t work, we will start a price war.”
"What do you mean?" Everyone looked at each other and asked.
It's better to have a way than to sit still and wait for death. Everyone's eyes are full of expectations.
The man explained: "We have increased investment, brought vegetables, fruits and vegetables from further away, and sold them at a lower price than in the market. Those unscrupulous people do not understand etiquette and shame, and are greedy for petty gains. As long as the price is low enough,
, the Bangzi Club thing won’t have any impact, and over time, the popularity will inevitably change.”
"It makes sense, but how much investment is needed?" someone asked.
"The more we invest, the longer the price war will last. Of course, the more we will lose, but with our financial resources, as long as we join forces, we will definitely destroy the market in Hanwang. As long as the market dies, we will
If it becomes an exclusive business, then the price will be slowly raised, the loss will be restored, and all the investment will be recovered within a year at most."
"You have to have an estimate, right? You're not afraid of losing money. What's scary is not knowing how long you will lose, how much you will lose, and how sure you are?" someone asked.
Everyone nodded one after another, they are all human beings, how could they be fooled by a few words.
The man thought for a while and said: "Green vegetables and fruits in the counties of Jingzhao Prefecture are cheaper than those outside Chang'an City. They can be reached overnight. There is no need to worry about losses on the road. At most, the freight will increase, but the price difference is enough to offset the freight, which means the purchase cost."
Just like buying goods from outside the city, we only need to follow the example of the king of Han Dynasty and subsidize 30%, and the price will be the same as the market price. The people in the city will not go outside the city to purchase. After all, it is too far. And we only need to get the people in the city to buy, which is enough.
.”
"Wonderful, wonderful!"
"This is a good idea. There are many people in the city. As long as the price is the same, no one will go too far to buy it!"
"Yes, I think this method is feasible!"
Everyone cheered and their spirits became high again.
One person suggested: "You came up with this method, and it's a pity. Someone proposed that you should be solely responsible for the department store. What do you think?"
"wonderful!"
"Agree!"
Everyone agreed, their eyes shining brightly.
…
Qin Huaidao didn't know that the Department Store Pavilion had a countermeasure, so he responded to Qinjiazhuang. Seeing Luo Ying walking around at the entrance of the courtyard with an anxious look on his face, he stepped forward and asked, "I see you are anxious, what's the matter?"
Luo Ying looked around, but stopped talking.
Qin Huaidao said knowingly: "Follow me."
The two of them entered the courtyard together, crossed the wind and rain covered bridge and the garden, and came to the study to sit down.
Luo Ying couldn't wait to take out a round iron lump from his arms, and said with excitement: "Uncle, the grenade you mentioned has been made in Chashan. Let's see, is it like this?"
Qin Huaidao took it and inspected it carefully. The familiar appearance, familiar structure, and even the size of the concave and convex parts on the surface were exactly the same as the familiar ones. He was overjoyed and asked: "Have you tried it? How is its power?"
"I tried it, and it was so powerful that it shattered hard rocks, and the sound was even more like thunder. If I hadn't tried it in a deep mountain cave, it would have definitely attracted the attention of outsiders." Luo Ying said, his eyes shining.
"That's good. Now that it's feasible to try, we can start expanding production."
"Understood, this little thing is a great weapon and must be manufactured on a large scale. With this thing, our special forces group can fight directly against ten or twenty thousand cavalry and easily win it. However, this thing is not easy to make.
And the cost is high..." Luo Ying hesitated.
Qin Huaidao understood immediately and said proudly: "It doesn't matter, let's ask He'er to take away the 500,000 yuan first."
"Okay, if you have five hundred thousand guan, you won't have to worry."
"Remember, it's absolutely confidential. Once it's made, it should be kept properly. No one is allowed to use it without my order. In addition, people will be arranged to secretly recruit street children from other states and counties for special training, and the special force will be expanded into a special force.
For combat divisions, two of the regiments will be built as heavy armored cavalry. The people recruited must be tall and tall. Let the Chashan side secretly build two thousand sets of heavy armor for backup. If you don't have enough money, you can always call on He'er."
"Follow the order!" When Luo Ying heard that his special operations group had been expanded into a special operations division, and there were two heavy armored cavalry regiments, he was immediately overjoyed, his eyes lit up, and he wished he could do it right away.
Qin Huaidao reminded: "Remember, we only recruit street children. Firstly, they have simple identities and cannot be infiltrated by aristocratic families. Secondly, there are no family involvements to avoid leaking secrets. Thirdly, street children can endure hardship. If there is an opportunity to change their destiny, they will cherish it. Dare to
Damn it, you only have half a year to train, and I need to see a strong army after half a year."
"Understood, I promise nothing will happen." Luo Ying responded solemnly.
After chatting some details, Luo Ying left in a hurry. Luo Wu, who was guarding the door, came in and said bluntly: "Uncle, the special operations group has been expanded. Is our Guards group also fully replenished?"
The Guards Regiment is just a frame, with only two hundred personnel, which is far from enough for a regiment.
Qin Huaidao smiled and said: "Are you jealous? After Luo Ying's training is completed, there will be a big competition, and the best ones will be selected and transferred to you. The Guards Regiment is special and does not need to be full. Let's tentatively decide on five hundred."
"Thank you, uncle!" Luo Wu was overjoyed, five hundred is a lot, not to mention they are all the strongest.
