"That's great. With these three things, let alone setting up a stall, I can make this place the most popular place in Chang'an City. Even if we sell a bunch of soil in the future, I can say that it is the most popular place in Chang'an City."
Good soil.”
Zhou Huairen said cheerfully, he is an old businessman in Chang'an City, how could he not know the business opportunities here?
Take the mirror in Miss Changsun's hand as an example. It is said that there are only two pieces in the world at present. One is in the hands of the emperor and was given to the emperor by Manager Wang Dewang. The other one is Miss Changsun's.
In the socialite circle of Chang'an City, this has already spread throughout the world. Some people have even spread the word that even if it is worth tens of thousands of dollars, some people will buy it.
As for the sword in the hands of the young prince, there is even more market. There are many martial artists in Chang'an City. The children of powerful families can basically wield swords and guns, and there is also comparison. A while ago, the young prince released
The word comes, because there are too many orders, so Donggong will not accept them for the time being. If they were sold in our place, there would be too many dignitaries every day.
But this Tang Tianjiang...
"Your Highness, I heard that Datang Tianjiang has been sold in Changsun's restaurant. Now it is hard to find a pound of it on the market. What if we sell it here again?"
Zhou Huairen is indeed not an ordinary person. The average businessman only considers his own interests and does not consider everything. This person can think of this, and Li Xiang can rest assured to leave this place to him. Making money is secondary and the most important thing.
There still needs to be a pattern.
"From now on, Changsun's wine shop will sell 200 jins a day, and ours will sell 50 jins a day. The price is more expensive than Changsun's, and 10% of the profits will be given to Changsun's family."
Li Xiang is very principled when doing business. If he tramples on the agreement casually, then there will be no spirit of contract. When the time comes, everyone will not abide by the contract, and the loss will be his own.
"That's no problem. Your Highness is considerate. I wonder when we can open for business?"
Zhou Huairen had been idle at home for such a long time. When he heard that Li Xiang had such good products, he couldn't hold back anymore and wished he could open the business soon.
"Why are you in a hurry? First send people to spread the news in Chang'an City, and then go find all the famous actors in Chang'an City and perform a three-day show at our door. The money for the two carriages at the door will be spent. We must create a momentum.
Come."
Li Xiang, a person from modern society, naturally understands how important the advertising effect is. As long as you can afford to spend money, everyone will think that you are strong and will be willing to do business with you in the future. In addition to those three rare commodities, the most important thing is
This is today's pawn shop.
Li Xiang also sent people to investigate and found that the profits of the pawnshop can be said to be extremely generous. If you pawn something worth one hundred cents, the shop will take it in for fifteen cents and resell it for sixty to one hundred cents. This is four to one hundred cents.
Seven times profit.
"Your Highness, do you want to open just this one pawn shop, or do you want to open it all over the Tang Dynasty?"
Zhou Huairen is an old fox, and he must ask the matter clearly now. If there is only this one shop, it doesn't matter, but if it spreads throughout the Tang Dynasty, it will be difficult to handle, because in the entire Tang Dynasty,
The largest pawnshop owner in Tang Dynasty was the Cui family of Qinghe, which was also the Cui family's pillar industry.
"This is the only one for now."
Li Xiang also understood what Zhou Huairen was talking about, so after listening to what he said, he first gave him reassurance.
Regarding the business layout, Li Xiang already has a complete plan. The most profitable pawnshop, silk shop and other industries in this era have basically been divided up.
If Li Xiang rashly goes in now, it will be like killing people's parents. Everyone may have a fight by then. Li Xiang has made many enemies now, and he doesn't want to be squeezed in the middle.
So Li Xiang is planning to take another path, which is to use finance to control everything.
The economic base determines the superstructure. This sentence is applicable no matter where you go. The reason why the Five Surnames and Qiwang are so powerful is because they control the entire economy of the Tang Dynasty.
If Li Xiang wanted to defeat them, he would have to establish a bank a hundred years in advance. According to the information Li Xiang obtained, the bank was only fully formed in the Ming Dynasty. It has not yet appeared during the Zhenguan period, and it will not appear until the Zhongzong period of the Tang Dynasty.
It appears, but it only does some exchange business, there is no deposit and withdrawal business, and there is no loan business.
While everyone still didn't understand the bank, Li Xiang was ready to take action. The pawnshop was just selling dog meat over sheep's heads. Of course, if we were to make money, we couldn't just watch and make whatever money we should.
"According to you, opening a pawn shop will arouse their resentment, but what about opening a restaurant?"
Li Xiang thought of the Fuyun Restaurant that was sealed that day. It was said that it was also the property of the Cui family and had branches throughout the Tang Dynasty.
"Restaurants don't matter. First, there are a lot of them. Second, every household is involved in it. Third, the profits are not big."
As long as you don't compete with the Cui family in the pawn shop, other industries don't matter, especially in today's restaurants, where a good meal on the table only costs ten dollars, not to mention that the nobles all have cooks in their homes.
I can order whatever I want from outside.
"I will leave the business matters to you. I will not treat anyone who works for me badly. Your second son is not young, right?"
Li Xiang started his plan to win over people's hearts again. At this stage, he would first establish Zhidaobao, especially this flagship store in Beijing. As long as it has a good brand name, it can spread to the surrounding areas.
In addition to selling his own rare gadgets, Li Xiang is also planning to hold an auction regularly every month to absorb rare gadgets from people from all over the world, allowing them to get more money at the auction, at least much higher than in pawn shops.
, also allows buyers to buy good stuff at auctions at lower prices.
Of course, we are not obligated to do this, and the handling fee that should be collected must not be less than a penny, so as to dismantle the Cui family's pawnshop empire step by step.
"I'll be seventeen during the Chinese New Year."
Zhou Huairen knelt down and kowtowed and said, this is where Master Shangshang came from.
"Go back to the Imperial City Si Yamen to report. I am not a high-ranking official. I am from the ninth rank."
Li Xiang's words made Zhou Huairen burst into tears. In the past, the person who supported the prince was just thinking about his sons' background, but the prince only wanted to make money.
The son is now married, and there is an old girl at home, who is only twenty-eight years old this year...
