Chapter 1166 High-quality and cheap business opportunities (seeking a monthly pass)
Although Mrs. Qin does not want to get involved in any business-related matters, she respects Wu Furong very much. When someone comes to her door, of course you, the master, have to go and entertain her. After all, she was born in a scholar-bureaucrat family, so there is no need to say this in terms of politeness.
.
Brother Qiu, for example, was born in a bustling city. Under his education, a bastard like Gao Yanei emerged.
"King Yanyun, madam."
When Wu Furong and Xiaoyu saw Mrs. Qin and Li Qi coming, they hurriedly greeted them and saluted.
Li Qi clicked his tongue and said: "Uncle Wu, what are you calling King Yanyun? I'm not used to it. Just call me Li Qi. Xiaoyu, you too, as usual."
"Yes. Brother Li."
Mrs. Qin smiled slightly, stretched out her hand and said, "Let's go in and talk."
Several people came to the house and sat down. In fact, Wu Furong and Xiaoyu had visited Li Qi in the first few days when he came. However, Li Qi was very upset because of Bai Qiannuo's incident. Wu Furong also knew that he had no time to take care of business.
This was just normal for Lala. She exchanged a few greetings and did not talk about business matters.
Although Bai Qiannuo's problem has not been resolved yet, at least she will not leave. This matter has come to an end. Naturally, Li Qi should take some time to take care of his own business. The key is that he is too poor and doesn't have much money.
Money, and Zhao Kai, the iron rooster, had nothing to lose. This made Li Qi very unhappy and he had to work hard to make money.
After the few people exchanged pleasantries, Li Qi asked: "Uncle Wu, how is the business in the store?"
Wu Furong shook his head and sighed, saying: "Oh, forget it, now it's not even 20% of what it used to be. Although the Jin soldiers have retreated, we Kaifeng people have suffered huge losses. Those rich people in the past have to tighten their belts now.
Even if you go to a restaurant, you have to be careful with your budget. Because our restaurants are expensive, many people are now staying away from them. In addition, the court purged a large number of officials a few days ago. For our restaurant industry, it is even worse. Jin Bing
Within a few months after leaving, more than 20 restaurants were opened."
The post-war economy will inevitably experience depression. This is inevitable. Consumption has plummeted, which is the main reason for the economic depression. And this political movement is also one of the reasons for the decline in consumption. You must know that Kaifeng's consumption
Sixty to seventy percent of them come from scholar-bureaucrat families and court ministers. It is precisely because of their corruption that they have greatly stimulated consumption, and restaurants are the biggest beneficiaries. Think about it. When those officials hold a banquet, they bring it to the restaurant.
Get a lot of income.
So with so many officials being purged, restaurants are naturally the biggest victims. Needless to say, a high-end restaurant like Zuixianju.
Xiaoyu added: "Also. Originally, we had negotiated several business deals with several foreign businessmen, but because the Jin Kingdom sent troops, those businessmen were afraid that they would be implicated, so these plans were shelved, and our Zuixianju also suffered heavy losses.
"
Li Qi had already expected this, and said: "Don't worry, they will come to us before long. Although the current environment is very harsh, it is also full of many business opportunities. For a successful businessman, it is
Be able to gain benefits in any environment.”
Business opportunities? No one has no money and no consumption. Where are these business opportunities? Wu Furong asked in astonishment: "What business opportunities are there?"
Xiaoyu also looked at Li Qi with a confused look.
Li Qi chuckled: "The entire market is not good now. It's not that our family is bad. A bad market means good quality and low price."
Xiaoyu said in confusion: "Brother Li, everything is very expensive nowadays. How can we talk about high quality and low price?"
Due to the complete stagnation of industry and agriculture in Kaifeng in those one or two months, goods were scarce. Based on the law of scarcity, although the economy was depressed, goods were very expensive. The prices of meat and vegetables increased significantly, which also exacerbated the economic depression.
.
Li Qi shook his head and said, "That's not what I'm talking about. When I say good quality and low price, do you mean business opportunities?"
"Business?"
Li Qi hummed and said: "Uncle Wu just said that more than twenty restaurants have closed down in the past few months. Why? It's because they have a weak foundation and don't have enough funds to survive. In fact, there is no need to
When it comes to restaurants, the same applies to any industry. Many thriving shops and workshops have been forced to close due to lack of sufficient funds. This is our opportunity."
Wu Furong frowned and said, "I still don't understand very well."
Xiaoyu was young and thought quickly, and said, "Brother Li, maybe he wants to buy these shops and workshops that are about to close down."
Li Qi smiled and said: "You are half right, I am trying to find these stores, but I don't want to buy them."
Mrs. Qin interjected: "I understand, you want to use a small amount of money to invest in these stores."
"Wow! Madam, you are so smart. You are really wasting your wealth if you don't do business." Li Qi said excitedly.
This is how you bought Zuixianju in the first place. Mrs. Qin murmured to herself, but she would not fall for Li Qi's trick again. She finally got away. No matter what, she would not get in again. She shook her head gently and remained silent.
Silently, it seemed that she didn't intend to speak anymore.
Li Qi was used to Mrs. Qin's sudden silence and didn't care at all. He continued: "Madam is right. That's what I mean. The world is not good now, but it will recover soon ---."
Wu Furong said: "How do you know?"
Li Qi said speechlessly: "Because this is my job."
Wu Furong then remembered that Li Qi was the founder of the new law. Now that the entire economy is in depression, that is to say, it is not the cause of any one person, so it requires the court's macro-control. Of course, Li Qi has the advantage in this regard. This will be the case in later generations.
The so-called inside story.
Li Qi continued: "You don't have to worry. This depression is a sudden phenomenon. It has reached a low point now, so it will rebound sharply. This is a natural phenomenon, but many small workshops cannot survive it.
This level is not to say that they have no potential, but that they are relatively unlucky. What we have to do now is, first of all, to take good care of Zuixianju, and secondly, to invest comprehensively and find those workshops with potential in the market.
Investment, what they lack most now is money, so we can take advantage of the opportunity and use the smallest amount of money in exchange for the greatest benefits. When the market gets better, we can make a lot of money just by sitting. Moreover, this
The return on investment is very sustainable.”
The more Wu Furong listened, the more depressed he became, saying: "The problem is that we don't have any money. You exchanged all the money for food, and the food was donated to the court for free. Now we still have to feed so many people. Now
I’m afraid it will be difficult to come up with even five hundred strings.”
Xiaoyu also nodded and said: "Besides, Zuixianju's business is not doing well, so we can't make any money at all."
Sweat! I forgot about this. Li Qi saw that Wu Furong was very resentful and said with a slight embarrassment: "My that--that is also an investment."
Mrs. Qin said: "I still have some gold and silver jewelry on hand. If you are short of money, take it."
Wu Furong said quickly: "Madam, that is your dowry, how can this be done?"
Mrs. Qin said: "If you don't bring those things with you in life or death, I won't need them anymore, and there is no use in leaving them there."
Although Li Qi was very poor, he even went so far as to ask for a widow's dowry to start a business, saying: "If Madam, you are willing to take back the 30% of the shares, I will take over."
Mrs. Qin waved her hands repeatedly and said, "Pretend I didn't say anything."
When Wu Furong and Xiaoyu saw Mrs. Qin's fearful expression, they lowered their heads and snickered.
Li Qi coughed slightly and asked them to pay attention to Mrs. Qin's feelings.
Wu Furong immediately woke up and realized that he had lost his composure. He stopped smiling and suddenly thought of something and said, "Li Qi, don't we still have that glass? Why don't we exchange it for some money."
Li Qi sighed: "I've thought about this too, but the problem is that the market is not very good now, and I can't sell it at a good price."
Xiaoyu said: "That's not true. There are still many rich people in the capital, so the price shouldn't be very low."
Li Qidao: "This glass of mine is going to be sold at a sky-high price, not even a penny less."
"Sky-high price?"
"Yes, the glass is actually the same as an ordinary cup. It is used for drinking water. However, it is expensive. If sold to ordinary people, it would be a waste. I plan to position the glass as a luxury product and use it specifically to deceive--
-No, to make money from foreign royal families, this glass will either not appear, or it will have a shocking effect when it appears. I predict that this glass will bring more than tens of millions of dollars to my Song Dynasty, so it must be
Be careful."
Thousands of dollars?
Wu Furong, Xiaoyu secretly squeaked when he heard this, and no longer dared to pay attention to this aspect. Xiaoyu said: "But if this is the case, where will we find so much money?"
Wu Furong was more conservative, so he said: "Li Qi, how about we forget it? Even if we don't make any comprehensive investment, as long as our Zuixianju business gets better, we will make enough money."
Li Qi said with a very exaggerated expression: "That's not okay. For a businessman, if you don't make money, you will be punished by God."
This person is really greedy. Mrs. Qin sneered at Li Qi and snorted softly.
Li Qi turned around and asked, "Madam, do you have any objections?"
"No."
Mrs. Qin also answered neatly and neatly.
Li Qi is the boss and he has made the decision, so Wu Furong and Xiaoyu can only do it. The problem is that they really have no money!
Wu Furong asked: "Then what are you going to do?"
Li Qi pondered for a while and said: "It seems that I can only borrow it."
"Borrowing again?"
When Wu Furong heard that Li Qi wanted to borrow money, his blood pressure rose. He seemed to have returned to those dark days. Zuixianju was really lent to them, and he was most afraid of owing money. The most important thing was,
They are still heavily in debt. He said, "But don't forget, we still owe hundreds of thousands of dollars."
"Yes, I almost forgot." Li Qi scratched his head and said: "Since we already owe so much, we don't care if we owe more. Moreover, we have to work harder to make money to repay the debt. Let's do this.
I'll take care of that, you go outside to find out the market situation, and we'll split up."
