Li Qi poured three cups of tea in a row, threw the wooden hammer to Hong Tianjiu, and then went to the third floor. When he came to the private room, he saluted and said, "Li Qi has seen the high officials."
"No gifts, no gifts."
Song Huizong laughed and said: "Li Qi, your book buying event really opened our eyes. Others sell books to gain fame, but you have gained both fame and fortune."
The name belongs to Zhang Zeduan and the profit belongs to the charity foundation. How did he get both fame and fortune? Li Qi was very dissatisfied with Song Huizong's IQ and said: "The high officials have given me the prize, but I haven't earned a penny. Donated to a charitable foundation.”
"That's right." Song Huizong nodded slightly and said, "I'm very pleased that you can do this. If all the businessmen in the Song Dynasty can be like you, then I don't have to worry so much."
Damn it! You don’t blush at all when you say this. As long as you spend even 1% of the taxes that we businessmen pay less every year on the people, it will never be like today. You know how to kill the goose to get the egg.
Zhao Jingyan smiled and said: "The deputy commander's eloquence is really comparable to millions of soldiers, and the speech he just gave was really wonderful."
Sweat! I'm not Zhuge. It's enough to deceive Gao Yanei and the others. Li Qi said modestly: "Miss Zhao is flattering me, I'm just telling the truth."
"Tell the truth?" Song Huizong glanced at him slightly and said, "Then the paintings in this book are really painted by Zhengdao?"
"Uh, half and half. In fact, this painting was completed by me and Bachelor Zhang. The frame was painted by me, but the colors were painted by Bachelor Zhang. But I have always been indifferent to fame and wealth, and regard fame and wealth as floating clouds, so I didn't explain it clearly. ." Li Qi said half truthfully.
Song Huizong said angrily: "According to this, the right path is to love vanity?"
"Of course not, it's just that we all want to share the emperor's worries. Naturally, we have to choose the most beneficial plan to raise money." Li Qi shook his head.
Song Huizong said helplessly: "Forget it, you are right no matter what."
Zhao Kai suddenly said: "Dad, I suddenly thought of something."
"What's up?"
"It's like this. The envoy from the Kingdom of Jin is coming soon. Why don't dad ask Li Qi to coordinate with the Prime Minister to negotiate with the envoy from the Kingdom of Jin?"
Zhao Jingyan raised her brows and glanced at Li Qi. Seeing that his face was full of bitterness, she pursed her lips and smiled, secretly saying, I want to see how you refuse this time.
Brother Zhao, why do you always do these things of betraying your brothers? You are not as loyal as Gao Yameni. Li Qi hurriedly said: "I am an official, you must not do this."
Song Huizong frowned and said, "Please tell me and listen."
Li Qidao: "I have been an official for less than a year, and I am not familiar with these things at all. If I say the wrong thing then, it will ruin the emperor's good deeds."
Song Huizong glanced at Li Qi slightly but did not answer.
Seeing Li Qi's refusal, Zhao Kai smiled sheepishly and gave him two innocent looks, signaling that I was doing it for your own good.
Li Qi rolled his eyes, as if to say, thank you for your kindness. But I don't need you to be so kind to me.
At this time, the guard outside suddenly reported: "Master, is there someone outside who wants to see you?"
"who."
"It's the bartender from Zuixianju. She said she's here to deliver books."
"Let her in."
There was a creak. The door opened, and Xiaoyu walked in with a copy of Romance of the Three Kingdoms. She bowed to several people and then handed the book to Zhao Kai.
When Song Huizong saw that she only brought books and not the cheongsam, he asked curiously: "Xiaoyu, why didn't the cheongsam come?"
Xiaoyu replied respectfully: "In reply to the official, since we don't know who the official is buying it for, we don't dare to send it rashly."
Li Qi continued: "The high-ranking officials have just seen it. This cheongsam pays attention to the fit. If not, it will not taste like a cheongsam."
Song Huizong nodded in understanding and said, "One piece is for Yan'er."
Wow! It would be okay if this shemale wore a cheongsam, but it would be strange for those strong men not to have nosebleeds. Li Qi glanced at Zhao Jingyan with a complicated look.
Zhao Jingyan saw Li Qi's eyes that were three parts flirtatious, three parts serious, three parts expectant, and one part worried. She was secretly annoyed, frowned, and gave him a fierce look.
Why are you staring at me? I was just fantasizing a little bit, and it was very pure. Li Qi curled his lips and looked back.
Song Huizong didn't pay attention to this. He hesitated for a moment and said to himself: "As for the other thing."
Li Qi heard a hint of hesitation in his tone and immediately understood and replied: "Sir, I know what to do."
This boy is very sensible. Song Huizong laughed and patted his shoulder, as if to say, boy, I am optimistic about you.
******************
However, the shopping conference was just the beginning. In the next two days, Li Qi was so busy with the opening of a new clothing store that he almost fell asleep while standing.
Obviously, he wanted to open the first specialty store in the Northern Song Dynasty, so he took care of everything from the layout of the store to the waiters and even the arrangement of clothes. Although Bai Qiannuo is smart, but this kind of cross-era thing,
She still can't play.
Moreover, he is still taking the high-end route, which is prepared for the rich. This does not mean that he is snobbish, but today's trends are completely controlled by the upper class. If you want to change fashion, you must grasp these.
If the upper-class people accept it, then ordinary people will naturally follow suit, and it will not be too late to open popular fashion stores.
This time Zhou Qing was willing to go all out and agreed to Li Qi's request, opening three stores in a row, a men's clothing store, a women's clothing store, and a women's underwear store.
All three stores are located on Maxing Street. After all, this street is the longest street in Bianjing City, running from north to south, and has the largest flow of people.
In order to attract enough customers, Li Qi specially arranged the release of the gold version of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms on the same day. He also cooperated with Uncle He Jiushu to put the Romance of the Three Kingdoms on sale in his dry goods store on Mahang Street, which is where
In the middle of three specialty stores, the location couldn't be better.
Early that morning, Ma Xing Street was bustling with people, and there were long queues everywhere. However, the longest queue was at Uncle He Jiushu’s dry goods store. This shows the influence of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and many people were impressed by Li Qi’s approach.
Dissatisfied. Most of these are ordinary people, not to mention that they can't afford the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Even if they have the money, they can't compete with those wealthy people, so they can only wait and see.
But Li Qi ignored them at all, and felt very aggrieved. The ordinary version was sold at such a low price, and he lost hundreds of coins per book. If I didn't make some money back, I wouldn't be able to drink the northwest wind.
Since Zuixianju reopened, the ribbon-cutting ceremony has become a trend, and many people have imitated it. Zhou Qing is no exception. Most of the people attending the ribbon-cutting ceremony are the backbone of the Zhou family. Bai Qiannuo doesn't want to show his face.
Come, let Li Qi take my place.
After the ribbon-cutting ceremony, firecrackers went off, and the three specialty stores and Uncle He Jiushu's dry goods store opened at the same time.
Since the dry goods store stipulates that each person has one book, the queue is still in good order. However, the specialty store is very crowded, and it is almost overcrowded.
But in the store, whether on the walls or on the hangers, there were some very peculiar clothes, which were really dazzling. The layout was all imitating the high-end famous brand stores of later generations.
The male waiters should wear black pants and white clothes, and the female waiters should wear cheongsam. Others must agree with it first. First, you must wear it yourself.
The waiters stepped forward one after another to answer everyone's questions one by one.
The men's clothing launched by the Zhou family this time is mainly T-shirts, sportswear and nightgowns. There is no formal outerwear, while the women's clothing is mainly cheongsam, and there are also some scarves, headwear, etc. As for the underwear store
, of course there is no need to say more.
Gao Yanai waited for a bunch of beasts. The men's clothing store didn't even take a look, and went straight to the women's clothing store. He said twenty cheongsams in one mouth, which really showed his domineering attitude. As for Hong Tianjiu and the others, they were not bad, and they vigorously moved towards the waiter.
They yelled, but the sad thing is that these beasts didn't even know the measurements of their concubines. As a result, they yelled for a long time and couldn't buy any of them. They could only make a reservation and ask their concubines to come and try them on in person in the evening.
.
There was a lot of noise outside, but Li Qi and Zhou Qing were hiding in the backyard of Zhou's house, drinking tea and leisurely. Zhou Qing had already handed the outside over to Zhou Hua and his two brothers.
Zhou Qing heard the noise outside, and his mouth was trembling with excitement. He said to Li Qi: "Master Li, these new clothes of yours are really amazing. You don't know how many dignitaries have been there since the end of the poker buying conference."
I hope I can order the cheongsam."
Li Qi smiled faintly and said: "Executive member, this is just the beginning. I hope that next year we can build the factory, recruit more workers, and promote these clothes to all parts of the country. Anyway, you will be busy next year.
Already."
"I know that." Zhou Qing said, and suddenly sighed and said, "But I'm old, Master Li. To tell you the truth, I plan to hand over this business to my sons starting next year. I don't know.
What do you think?"
Li Qi frowned and said: "Dalang and Erlang are good businessmen, but Sanlang."
Zhou Qing naturally understood what Li Qi meant and said with a wry smile: "I know that. I will let Sanlang study with his two brothers for a while first."
Li Qi nodded and said, "That's fine."
At this moment, a hospital official suddenly stumbled in and shouted: "Master, something's wrong, there's a quarrel outside."
"what happened?"
"It's Gao Yanei and the others who want to enter the underwear store."
Oh my God! Can't these beasts stay calm for a day? Li Qi slapped his forehead, feeling helpless.
With no other choice, Li Qi and Zhou Qing had no choice but to go outside. They saw Fatty Zhou Hua blocking the door of the underwear store, saying with a sad face: "Yanei, Xiaojiu, brothers, it's not that I'm unloyal, it's just that my father ordered that men can't.
Go in."
"Stop being so verbose and get out of the way, otherwise your friends won't be able to do it. I'm here today just for these underwear."
Li Qi sighed, walked forward, and said loudly: "Yanei, are you illiterate?"
When everyone saw Li Qi coming, they quickly got out of the way. Li Qi stepped forward, picked up the wooden sign erected in front of the door, placed it in front of Gao Yanei, pointed to the four big characters on it and said: "Man, stop, do you understand?"
Gao Yanei said angrily: "Why are men not allowed in? Please explain to me clearly."
Li Qi rolled his eyes and said, "What would you do if your concubine and a man were choosing underwear inside?"
Gao Yanei roared angrily: "They dare. I have to break their legs." He was only used to cuckolding others, but was not used to being cuckolded.
"That's it." Li Qi said to the crowd: "There is a saying that men and women are not allowed to be intimate. This underwear is a very private thing, so this underwear store only provides it for women. You can ask your wives and concubines to buy it in person.
.”
Hong Tianjiu La said with a long face: "Brother Li, don't you look at it. There is not even a woman within a mile around here. It doesn't matter if you are accommodating."
Day. With you beasts here, who dares to come? Li Qi shrugged and said: "The rules are like this, and I can't help it. Besides, this underwear and cheongsam are the same. I have to try them on first. Please forgive me."
.”
Try it on? Gao Yanei's eyes widened, his face changed, and he said: "Executive member Zhou, is your underwear store still recruiting people?"
At this moment, Zhou Qing felt how pure Fatty Zhou was!
