After freshening up a little, Muchuan went to Fangshi.
Muchuan has not visited his own industrial chain for a long time since he became the commander of Jinyiwei.
Nowadays, it is rare to have leisure time, so Muchuan naturally wanted to go around and see how the various shops are doing now.
The first stop, Muchuan went to Longliqi.
Longliqi was the first store opened by Muchuan, and Muchuan still had deep feelings for it.
After all, if it weren't for Longliqi, he wouldn't have the capital to argue with Li Er.
Longliqi's ability to attract money is obvious to everyone in Chang'an.
Of course, now that the heat has cooled down, Longliqi has fallen off the altar. Although it is not empty, it is no longer as crowded as it was at the beginning.
Arriving at Longliqi, Muchuan looked at the sparse flow of people and couldn't help but shake his head.
Sure enough, it would be difficult for these shops to succeed without a good shopkeeper keeping an eye on them.
In the past, these properties were managed by Uncle Zhao. After Uncle Zhao became ill and bedridden, it was later managed by Di Renjie. However, after Di Renjie went to Baekje to pick up his family, the manager was replaced by a mediocre person. Although he was more than successful, he still managed it.
There is no innovation at all.
But this is normal. After all, from the perspective of businessmen in this era, it is considered good to be able to protect the family fortune.
"Master!"
Seeing Muchuan's arrival, the shopkeeper and the handymen also came over to say hello.
Muchuan nodded and said to the shopkeeper: "Where is the account book?
Bring it to me to see."
The shopkeeper didn't dare to be negligent, so he hurriedly ran to get the account book.
Soon, the account book was delivered to Muchuan.
After looking at the flow of water, Muchuan felt even more sad.
One month's revenue can't even reach 10,000 taels. It seems that the business situation is really bad.
The disappointed look on Muchuan's face was naturally noticed by the shopkeeper and the handymen.
Everyone was extremely nervous at this moment. As the parties involved, they knew Longliqi's situation very well.
Since the young master stopped making new inventions for Longliqi, Longliqi's popularity has dropped rapidly.
After all, what the world sees in Longrich is a novelty.
Whether it is soap and perfume at the beginning, or pencils and notepads later, these things all have saturation. Once the saturation reaches the upper limit, the heat is almost over.
Although Longliqi's current monthly income is pretty good, at least when compared with all the stores in Chang'an, it is considered the best.
But compared with the previous grand occasion, it was indeed much weaker.
Therefore, the shopkeeper and the handymen were extremely nervous at the moment, fearing that Muchuan would fire them all in anger.
"As expected."
Muchuan shook his head and threw the account book to the shopkeeper.
"Don't just sell it like this all the time. Do some marketing at the right time to ensure popularity."
Muchuan said.
Hearing this, the shopkeeper looked confused.
He doesn't know anything about marketing. He can only ask some guys to sell on the streets. This is already the best publicity method he can think of.
Muchuan gave a few examples at random, "For example, you can select some goods and carry out daily limited discounts. This will attract many people to rush to buy. At least the traffic flow will be much better than now."
"Common people have the tendency to join in the fun. When the store traffic increases, a virtuous cycle will be formed. In this way, the losses caused by discounts will be quickly made up for, and even more can be earned."
Listening to Muchuan's example, everyone stared at him with big eyes.
They understood every word Muchuan said, but when they were put together, many words they couldn't understand.
Seeing everyone looking confused, Muchuan shook his head helplessly and stopped talking nonsense.
"Forget it, let's leave it at that for now. I will think of some specific methods over time."
It seems that we need to find a manager with business acumen.
After Muchuan left Longliqi, he had been thinking about this matter.
Most of his current subordinates are military generals, and the number of wise generals is very small. After counting, there are only three people, Liu Rengui, Shangguan Yi, and Di Renjie.
Because of his wrong strategic thinking at the time, Liu Rengui and Shangguan Yi were even sent to serve as officials in the imperial court. Di Renjie was the only one Muchuan could call upon at any time.
However, Di Renjie was now sent to pick up people, which meant that Muchuan only had a group of warriors left under his command. He was really helpless.
While thinking hard about the candidate for the manager, Muchuan unknowingly walked to another store.
Home Inn chain.
Unlike the bleak situation of Longliqi, the Home Inn chain hotel is as stable as ever.
This is the reason for store positioning. Home Inn chain hotel is essentially inn positioning. As long as it remains stable, the income will never change much.
In addition, Home Inn is an outstanding hotel in Chang'an. For those with power, Home Inn is their first choice of hotel.
Not to mention that Home Inn is also in the wine business, and its high-concentration wines, mainly Wuliangye, are able to attract an endless stream of drinkers from all over the world.
After taking a few glances outside, Muchuan felt very satisfied and had no intention of going in.
Later, Muchuan went to the Mujia Newspaper Office to take a look.
The newspaper business is also very stable. After all, it is supported by serial novels such as Legend of the Condor Heroes, and its popularity will not diminish until it is completed.
Finally, Muchuan came to Mujia Workshop.
The current work in the workshop is extremely monotonous, and every day is spent building rails.
Due to the capital and manpower injection from the imperial court, the current atmosphere of Mujia Workshop is also somewhat special.
The craftsmen have become more or less slack.
After all, building rails is considered manual work at best. Let these craftsmen who are dedicated to scientific research and development do such work, which really makes them not very interested.
Muchuan's arrival also cheered up the craftsmen, and they rushed up to greet him warmly.
"Master, you are finally here."
The craftsmen were all very excited, and they all asked questions.
"Master, what new inventions have you brought this time?
You can rest assured that no matter what the invention is, we will do our best to make it!"
Rather than building railroad tracks, they wanted to get involved with something new.
And every time Muchuan comes, he can bring them new shocks, which is why they are so excited.
Seeing how enthusiastic everyone was, Muchuan was also a little relieved.
With such a group of scientific researchers, the implementation of his plans will be much smoother in the future.
"Everyone, please be patient. When Mu comes here this time, he will naturally have some work for you to do."
Muchuan said with a smile.
As soon as this was said, everyone cheered.
Finally they no longer have to build rail tracks day after day.
If you keep building railroad tracks here every day, they will almost turn into railroad tracks!
