When something novel appears, it will naturally be resisted by old ideas.
Especially when Zhao Kang said that the selling prices of items listed in the shop would be lowered.
Not surprisingly, there was immediate opposition.
"Second Master Zhao, I can't stand listening to what you are saying. We are all doing small business, and the profits are small. Now you are saying that we will lower the price, so what do we big guys eat? We can't drink the northwest wind.
Bar!"
"Yes! We don't make much money all year round. If we keep lowering the price, we will really have no way to survive."
The opposition gradually grew louder, but many people also fell into deep thought. Seeing this scene, Brother Diao was unhappy and slammed the table.
Suddenly the bowls, chopsticks and plates on the table shook wildly, startling everyone.
"My master is kind enough to help you make a fortune, but you are still chirping here with me, looking for trouble, right?"
Brother Diao's appearance is scary and fierce, and his eyes are as wide as eggs!
Many people subconsciously shrank their necks, but some were stunned and immediately became fierce.
"Hey, the goods belong to us. It's not like we don't have a shop, so why should we hand over the goods to you for sale?"
"That's right! How can there be such a reason? Even an official can't buy and sell by force!"
Brother Diao was about to get angry, but Zhao Kang stopped him by closing his fan.
Xiao Xuance was also a little unhappy, but he didn't know anything about economics, so he could only make trouble for himself.
Zhao Kang smiled: "You are right, there is no reason to buy or sell by force. If you don't want to, you can just eat and leave."
"I, Mr. Zhao, don't lack these two partners."
His confident look immediately suppressed the opposition present, who all looked at Zhao Kang in confusion.
Then he said again: "Moreover, I also want to tell you that our Thirteen Taibao shop is not free for you to use. The merchants who settle in this shop pay ten taels of silver every month as monthly rent.
In addition, 20% of each store’s total monthly turnover will go to us.”
"Grass!"
After hearing this, most people couldn't bear it anymore and stood up directly.
"Farewell, we can't afford your meal, Mr. Zhao, so I'll leave first!"
"I'm leaving too, I've seen black ones before, but I've never seen such black ones! Let's go, let's go!"
Immediately, more than 20 people left at once, and 80% of the remaining people were hesitating between leaving or not leaving.
Zhao Kang didn't seem to care at all. He added a chopstick and put the fish meat into his mouth and chewed it slowly.
Someone couldn't help it anymore, it was Fatty Wang who had recently made a lot of money from Zhao Kang's advertising.
"Um, second master?"
"Boss Wang, what do you want to ask?" Zhao Kang said with a smile.
Fatty Wang organized his words before saying: "Second Master, if I heard you correctly just now, you said that you want us to put the items in your shop and you will run it, right?"
Zhao Kang smiled and nodded: "Not bad."
There are still smart people.
Boss Zhang of the ready-made clothing store also said: "That means that whether this store makes money or not depends on you."
"You can say that."
Seeing that he did not deny it, Fatty Wang immediately said: "Second Master, count me in, this is three months' monthly rent!"
Fatty Wang snapped out thirty taels of silver notes.
The merchants around him who were familiar with him were dumbfounded.
When did this stingy guy become so generous!
"And me, this is my monthly rent, for five months!" Zhang, the owner of the clothing store, said immediately.
In an instant, the ten merchants in Zhao Kang's building started paying their monthly rent, which made those merchants who had not left even more stunned.
One person said: "Boss Zhang, Boss Wang, how do you believe in Mr. Zhao?"
Fatty Wang laughed: "You idiots! Didn't you ask me just now how I made so much money in the past few days? I'm telling you now, it was all the idea given to me by the second master! I have made so much money in just these few days.
It’s over twenty taels!”
Holy shit!
Everyone was shocked when they heard this.
Boss Zhang chuckled: "It's only more than twenty taels. The lowest price for my clothes is one tael of silver a piece. In the past two days, I have sold more than 60 pieces, and there are more than 20 custom-made orders!"
"Damn it, how much does your clothes sell for? How much does my soy sauce sell for?" Fatty Wang cursed unceremoniously.
But Boss Zhang, who was scolded, was all smiles and was not angry at all.
Seeing the two people bickering, other merchants suddenly started to feel restless.
How about we try it too?
After all, everyone is making money along the way.
At this time, someone gave a hesitant cry.
"That Mr. Zhao."
Zhao Kang looked over and saw a young man not much older than him: "If you have something to say, just tell me."
The other party hurriedly said: "That shop's monthly rent, please see if you can pay it a few days late. I really don't have that much cash on hand."
Zhao Kang stood up at this time and said loudly: "I forgot to tell you just now, those who join us at this time are our high-quality merchants, and the monthly rent can be paid after two months."
"In addition, after you join our pie Xixi, our Thirteen Taibao will give you certain subsidies and benefits every month, at least five taels of silver per family."
Surprises always come so suddenly. In an instant, the restaurant went through a dramatic change of scenery, and everyone left their seats to ask for advice while holding their glasses of wine.
"Second Master, could you tell us more about this cake shop Xixi?"
"Yes, yes, I'm very interested. Those people just now are all idiots. They will never make any money in this life!"
"Yes, Second Master, how are these benefits calculated? When will they be distributed?"
Zhao Kang opened the folding fan. People are like this. Once they have a small profit in front of them, they will directly ignore the possible risks in the future.
Zhao Kang patiently explained to them one by one, and by the way, how to sell goods at Cake Xixi, pick up the goods in person and then deliver them, so that customers can buy what they want without leaving home. This extreme service method makes
A group of merchants shouted for master.
A quarter of an hour later, Zhao Kang took a sip of wine to moisten his dry lips and tongue: "Do you still have any questions?"
Everyone said in unison: No.
Zhao Kang asked Brother Diao to take out the contract and ink pads that had been prepared, and a group of merchants quickly lined up to sign and take fingerprints.
By the time the last person signed the contract, a total of sixty-six merchants had settled in Zhao Kang’s Cake Xixi.
Fatty Wang and others held the wine glasses and said excitedly: "I knew it was right to follow the Second Master. Second Master, we will toast you a drink."
Zhao Kang smiled and shook his head, pointing his fan at the prince whose eyes were filled with longing.
"The person you should toast is not me, but my boss. It is because of him that you have this opportunity to cooperate with us."
As soon as everyone heard this, they rushed towards His Highness. Each one of them shouted that Mr. Xiao was more dear to him than his own father. That night, he got drunk by His Highness.
