Chapter 1399: Branding

Everyone sat down, the girl served tea, and after some conversation, they talked about this plague.

"This plague is too ferocious, and all the trading houses have also been extremely seriously affected, many trade routes have been closed, and now the prices in the city are soaring, and the common people are not having a good time, and we merchants are not much better!"

"Merchants are all unprofitable and don't get up early! This plague is coming, prices are soaring, don't you just make a lot of money?" Dong Yang asked rhetorically unconvinced.

Steward Fu laughed, shook his head, and said, "Madam, what you said is not right! Prices are soaring, and that is because the plague has cut off the trade route, and there is a shortage of materials, and the taxes in the yamen are heavy, and the price increase cannot fall into the hands of us merchants." And to tell the truth, those of us who do business, what we hope for most is the peace of the country and the people, and only when there is stability can there be circulation, and there are only a few people who make it difficult to make money, and it is not durable. ”

These ways of doing business, if it weren't for looking at the face of the Mu brothers and sisters, Fu Da Steward would not be willing to tell these people who don't understand, the purpose of his coming to the medical hall was just to come and see the Mu brothers and sisters, to thank them for saving their lives.

"Brother Mu, we are going to start the return trade route, the caravan that came with us last time will leave in a few days. The merchants have said, "I want to ask you what you want to bring from the White Sun Gate?" We will bring it for you, all on your own will, and we will not charge any money. Steward Fu said with a smile.

Lu Menglan raised his head and said with a smile: "Thank you for your kindness, I don't have anything to bring." It's hard to do business these days, and it's not easy for you. ”

Hearing him say this, everyone was in awe.

If it was in normal times, it would be fine, in this kind of crisis when the catastrophe is at hand, those businessmen still think about him, but he refuses to take advantage of others, so he can only say that this young man is really good and has a good heart.

"It's not easy. They are running a small ship and a good turn, but our big merchants like the Dawei Commercial Bank are struggling, every day is facing huge expenses, and the competition is very fierce, now I only hope that you can get rid of the plague as soon as possible, so that the people's lives can return to normal, and we can make money. ”

Unexpectedly, Steward Fu actually sighed for a long time.

"Are your major merchants very competitive now?" Lu Menglan was quite interested when he heard about the business matter.

Grand Steward Fu smiled bitterly and said: "It's not so fierce! It's really tragic! The reserve materials in the city are getting smaller and smaller, and the government forces us, the big merchants, to open the trade route, but as soon as this trade route opens, I don't know how many merchants will die, and now the plague is so fierce, only out of the high ranks, can there be caravans willing to trade, which invisibly increases the cost." ”

"Don't look at the prices in the city all the way up, but the consumption power is limited, all the commercial houses are red-eyed, who can seize business opportunities, let the people buy their own things, they can survive, if you lose the market, time is running out!"

When Lu Menglan heard this, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Shouldn't we seize the market of the nobles even more?"

As soon as these words came out, Steward Fu's eyes immediately lit up.

He looked at the young man in front of him in disbelief, and couldn't help laughing, "It's a shame that you don't come to do business! That's right! Only by mastering the aristocratic consumer market can we be qualified to live in the Divine City! Otherwise, why do you think we are from the White Sun Gate

Stocking, the specialties over there are the favorite of the nobles!"

Fu Da Steward's words, others may not understand it and be confused, but Duanmu Qingyi understands.

The geographical environment of Bairimen City is unique, and there are heavy troops of Wuhao masters, after the unification of Bairimen, there has been a stable production of Akatsuki equipment, and Akatsuki equipment, before the demon construction equipment came out, is a good thing that all gods and masters dream of.

In fact, thinking about it carefully, Duanmu Qingyi felt more and more that Wu Hao was unfathomable, and he was able to unify all the forces of Bairi Gate City with a white body and complete the monopoly of Akatsuki's equipment, which in itself was an extremely unreasonable existence.

The powerhouses of the three major divine cities all have a demand for Akatsuki equipment, and it was originally impossible to put this territory into the hands of the martial arts master, but the nearest Tianzun Divine City party was fighting, and the sixth prince Mili gave him this territory in order to win over the martial arts.

Of course, this is also Master Wuhao's own ability, if he can't dominate Bairimen City, the so-called territorial division is also useless.

However, the cleverness of Master Wuhao lies in the fact that although he monopolized the production of Akatsuki's equipment, he did not restrict the procurement of the three major divine cities, nor did he ask for sky-high prices, so he maintained a balance.

It seems that Wu Hao is not only a master of demon construction, he is a real business genius!

And Duanmu Qingyi faintly felt that Master Wuhao had said so much to this Fu steward, as if he was guiding something, combined with his previous attitude towards the medical hall, on the surface, he had to compare his thoughts.

Duanmu Qingyi suddenly felt a little nervous, because she guessed Master Wuhao's thoughts for the first time, and felt that she was finally able to keep up with the other party's train of thought.

Sure enough, Lu Menglan smiled and said slowly: "Actually, there is a way that allows your Great Wei Commercial House to easily win the market of the nobles. ”

"What? Brother Mu, don't be joking! Your understanding of doing business is still far behind! How can it be so easy!" Steward Fu was slightly stunned, but he didn't care, and said with a smile.

He just thought it was the young heart of this wood brother, and he just said it casually, and he didn't take it seriously at all.

Duanmu Qingyi was on the side, thinking to himself, Old man Fu, you are far behind! Now it is the most successful businessman in the entire Shenmin Continent who is teaching you to do business, but it is ridiculous that you still don't know it.

"It's really easy, and the opportunity is here. Lu Menglan put away his smile and said seriously.

"Opportunity?"

"Here?"

At this moment, not only the big manager Fu, but even everyone in the medical hall were all stunned.

Lu Menglan nodded and said, "What do nobles like the most? They like to compare, and they can get as much money as they want to save face! Think about it, what is the troublesome thing in the Fashen City right now? Isn't it this plague?"

Everyone was confused, and their eyes widened.

"What Dong's Medical Center is doing at the moment is to isolate patients and prevent the spread of the disease. In the future, there will be more and more patients here, and Old Man Dong will find the source of the plague and develop an antidote, all of which is in progress. ”

"If at this time, there is a commercial house that fully supports Dong's Medical Center and invests a lot of manpower and material resources to help it develop an antidote, think about it, the reputation of this commercial house is not

Is it going to be very good, and all of a sudden this brand will be above all the business houses?"

When Lu Menglu said this, the people in the Dong Medical Hall had not yet understood, and the eyes of Duanmu Qingyi and Fu Da Steward were shining at the same time.

"You mean, let the Great Wei Commercial House and the Dong Clan Medical Hall work together to develop the antidote?" Duanmu Qingyi asked with a wink.

If the Dawei Commercial Bank has the vision and is willing to invest in the development of the antidote, then they can then play the slogan and buy the goods of the Great Wei Commercial Bank, which is to support the development of the antidote and drive away the plague! And the Great Wei Commercial Bank will also take out part of the profits from sales and continue to invest in the research and development of the antidote for the benefit of all people. Lu Menglan said with a heartfelt voice.

Grand Steward Fu nodded again and again when he heard this, but he frowned and said, "What if the Dong Clan Medical Hall fails to develop an antidote?"

"So what's the matter? As long as it is in the process of development, Dawei Commercial Bank can suddenly emerge and create a brand effect, and Dong's Medical Center has also obtained a large amount of research funds, and there is still a great chance of successful development. Lu Menglan said with a smile.

"Brand effect?" said Steward Fu stunned, this new term was very unfamiliar to him, but it was also easy to understand.

"Yes! It's the brand effect!" With the heat of this plague, Dawei Commercial Bank quickly started the brand's reputation by investing in the medical hall and researching the antidote, and took advantage of the wind to help you go to the nine skies!" Lu Menglan raised his arms and said.

Steward Fu listened with excitement on his face and nodded again and again.

"It makes sense, it makes sense! I can see how this trick works! Brother Mu, it's really a strange person! I'll go back to the owner to discuss, and come back tomorrow to visit. Steward Fu seemed to be excited, and immediately got up to leave, not wanting to delay for a moment.

"Well, you go! Don't invest in a medical center at once, it's best to invest for a long time, such as investing 810,000 jade yuan a month, and that's about it. When the antidote comes out, the name of the Great Wei Commercial Bank will go down in history! At that time, your Grand Steward Fu can also be recorded in history. Lu Menglu said with a smile.

"Yes, that's right! I think this method works! Why didn't anyone think of it before?" said Steward Fu with great urgency.

"Sister, what do you think?" At this time, Lu Menglu glanced at Duanmu Qingyi.

Duanmu Qingyi was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "What if other commercial houses also invest in other medical centers and do this?"

Lu Menglu nodded, and said with an approving smile: "Do business! Whoever seizes the opportunity first will have a natural advantage in public opinion, and if you do it later, the momentum will naturally be much weaker." ”

Steward Fu nodded again and again, he is an old businessman, of course he knows this truth, the first person who tastes meat eats meat, the second drinks soup, and the third can't even eat slag. This is the case in the business field, whoever can seize the opportunity and be one step ahead of others will be able to develop and lead the trend.

Suddenly, Grand Steward Fu gritted his teeth, took out a stack of jade tickets from his arms, and put them on the table.

"There's no need to discuss! This matter, our Dawei Commercial Bank has made up its mind! I'm sorry, I don't have much jade yuan with me, this is a jade ticket worth 5,000 jade yuan, you can collect it first, and use it as a deposit! I'll make up the rest tomorrow. Steward Fu said fiercely.

Sure enough, he is worthy of being a veteran in the business field, this old man's eyesight is a little poisonous, and he made a decision immediately, this is the way to do big business.
