Chapter 9, Core Competitiveness

Baipa?

Xue saw that he understood for a moment, and then looked sideways at his mother-in-law who was sitting on the other side of Chu Yiyi, and he was still smiling at the moment, and his attitude towards himself was much better.

He didn't explain, but took advantage of this to show his mother-in-law a lot of courtesy, and it was a dish, a toast, and all kinds of compliments came at his fingertips.

Chu Yiyi's mother had a lot more affection for this son-in-law who didn't like it very much.

At this time, Chu Donghe put down his chopsticks and said in a deep voice.

"Originally, today was the time for my Chu family's family banquet, and I shouldn't talk about business, but in the past two days, because of the relationship between the Xu family, many shops have terminated their cooperative relationship with my Chu family, and many businesses have been affected.

Brothers, brothers, I don't know if any of you have good advice, so I will mention it here, and we will discuss it. ”

For this matter, in the past two days, Chu Donghe wanted to break his head and broke his leg, he should be wooed, and he should be given a gift, but the Xu family has not been idle during this time.

The banquet immediately fell silent, everyone look at me, I look at you, all look helpless.

In the silence, Chu Lingfeng, who was sitting next to Chu Donghe, suddenly said.

"Dad, I heard that my brother-in-law has run our old rice shop in Liushu Lane of the Chu family in the past two days, and he is very famous, why don't you ask him?"

Chu Donghe's face was expressionless, and he glanced at Xue Jian, who was sitting precariously, and said in a deep voice.

"Just an old rice shop, what kind of business is it, my Chu family has such a big industry, how can you play nonsense, you think that if you set off a firecracker and send a leaflet, those shops can re-cooperate with us, it's naΓ―ve. ”

Although these words were said to his youngest son, the sarcasm in the words was known to everyone to be aimed at Xue Jian.

All of a sudden, everyone's eyes converged on Xue Jian to see how he responded.

I have to say that after Xue Jian's practice in the past two days reached the ears of the Chu family, many people were a little impressed by this young man.

But as Chu Donghe said, an old rice shop that no one cares about is insignificant compared to the real big industry of the Chu family.

"The words of the father-in-law, the son-in-law does not agree, the business is not in the size, but in the learning.

An old rice shop is really nothing to the family, but I can revitalize an old rice shop that is about to close, and I can make the Chu family's business flourish. ”

Xue Jian spoke confidently.

Chu Donghe sneered and said coldly.

"You are a sick man who only knows how to hide in the house and read, and you know what kind of business, this time it was just that you stumbled by mistake, and if you are lucky, you dare to make a big deal of nonsense here, get out of here. ”

For a while, the two became-for-tat again, I don't know if it was Xue Jian's retorting words that made Chu Donghe angry, or because Xue Jian had a small achievement, which made Chu Donghe feel that he had lost face.

Chu Yiyi's mother was under the table and pulled Chu Donghe, this is good, why did it make such a fuss.

Chu Yiyi was also under the table, pulled Xue Jian's sleeve, and his eyes signaled him not to be impulsive.

Under the gaze of everyone, Xue Jian stood up directly and said loudly.

"Uncles and uncles are here, and three days ago, I made an agreement with the head of the family.

If I can improve the management of the old rice shop within seven days, even if it proves that I am qualified to manage the Chu family's business, I don't know if I can do anything?"

Everyone was silent, and they all avoided Xue Jian's gaze intentionally or unintentionally.

At that time, almost all of them had laughed at Xue Jian, but now it was only three days, and he had achieved his goal.

The slap in the face always came so quickly, everyone was caught off guard, there was nothing to say, even Chu Donghe died down and didn't say a word.

Xue saw that no one looked at him, and after a while, he sat down again and said.

"Family master, I don't know if I am qualified to manage the Chu family's business now?"

He didn't call his father-in-law, and he was humiliated three times and twice, even the rabbit also had three points of anger, since you don't recognize me, why should I recognize you.

Chu Donghe was silent for a long time, then got up and said.

"I'll only give you half a month, if the Chu family's business doesn't improve within half a month, you will give me a roll out of the Chu family. ”

After speaking, Chu Donghe brushed his sleeves away, and he no longer had the face to stay here.

The other uncles and uncles were even more so, and they hurried up and left, leaving behind the half-eaten feast.

In this regard, Xue Jian shook his head indifferently, it is better to go, and the delicacies on this table are theirs.

"Come, lady, you eat this, mother-in-law, you eat this, it's very good for your skin. ”

Xue saw a smile on his face, and diligently kept serving vegetables to Chu Yiyi and his mother-in-law, of course, he didn't forget Chu Lingfeng's brother-in-law, and several people talked and laughed, and they were happy.

After eating and drinking, Xue Jian and Chu Yiyi left directly.

The mother-in-law must have gotten the white handkerchief, so she intentionally or unintentionally hinted that the two of them would let her hold her grandson earlier, which made Chu Yiyi very embarrassed.

On the way back, the two were shoulder to shoulder, and Chu Yiyi suddenly asked.

"You're so confident?"

Xue Jian nodded, looked at her clear eyes, seemed to be able to see through her thoughts, and said.

"I understand your father, as the head of the family, the first consideration must be the family, so ...... I don't blame him. ”

Chu Yiyi hummed softly and did not speak.

On one side is the father, on the other side is the husband, and now that the two have become like this, she doesn't know what to do.

Early the next morning, Xue Jian found Chu Shan again, and if he wanted to get in touch with the real industrial business of the Chu family, he still needed to go through this foreign affairs housekeeper.

Chu Shan had obviously received the order a long time ago, and directly took Xue Jian and walked towards Shangwu Street, the most prosperous street in Nanfu City.

Nanfu City is roughly divided into five urban districts, east, west, north, south, and middle, located in Nancheng District, and Shangwu Street, which is close to the port, is very famous.

Whether it is a local martial arts cultivator or an outsider, as long as they want to buy martial arts resources, they must go to Shangwu Street.

This street is full of shops for martial arts cultivators, all kinds of exercises, martial arts, elixirs and treasures, as long as you have money, you can buy the resources you want.

After dealing with each other a few times, Xue Jian and Chu Shan were already very familiar, and listening to him slowly talk about this Shangwu Street, Xue Jian had a thought in his heart.

Isn't this a pedestrian street, but it's not for eating, drinking, and having fun.

But it doesn't matter, in the future, I may be able to create a commercial pedestrian street that focuses on the combination of eating, drinking, and tourism, which is called Wanchu Square.

At that time, I am afraid that I don't have to go out, and countless money will come in every day.

Thinking of this, Xue Jian couldn't help but get excited.

Then set a small goal first, and make the Chu family's store the first store on Shangwu Street.

Soon, the two arrived at Shangwu Street.

There are people coming and going on the street, it is not lively, and most of them are martial arts cultivators, the men look like they are all powerful, and the women are also heavy-footed, and the clothes are simple, and it seems that the worst should be quenched five or six times.

Shangwu Street is ten miles long, Chu Shan took Xue Jian to the middle section, and stopped in front of an elegant and simple attic, Xue Jian looked up, and there was a plaque hanging on the top of the attic, with three big characters of Guxianglou written.

The two walked into the building side by side, and the little guy in the store saw Chu Shan and hurriedly greeted him with a smile.

Chu Shan said.

"This is our Chu family's new uncle, what about the old shopkeeper?"

The little guy hurriedly gave Xue Jian a big gift, and then said that the old shopkeeper was upstairs, and he went to invite him immediately, so he went upstairs in a hurry.

Chu Shan explained.

"The bookshelf in the lobby on this floor is full of anecdotes, interesting stories, and novels, which are of little value, and usually only some strangers who like to hunt for curiosities will buy these books.

On the second floor, there are many exercises in the collection, with the most introductory foundations, and there are also a few books in the Danyuan Realm.

There is also a strange exercise book that I don't know the level, and it was mortgaged to the store by a down-and-out foreigner at a low price, saying that it was obtained from some secret realm.

Anyway, the old people in the family didn't see anything strange, so they put it in the store and hung it as a gimmick. If you really meet someone who knows the goods in the future, you may be able to make a lot of money. ”

Xue Jian nodded and asked.

"Is there still martial arts for sale on the third floor?"

Chu Shan smiled and said proudly.

"That is, in the entire Nanfu City, except for the Wanshu Pavilion under the name of the City Lord's Mansion, only our Guxianglou sells martial arts, and there is more than one.

You must know that in our Nanfu City, martial arts are much more scarce than exercises, and a martial art that enters the stream can make people's strength increase several times. ”

In fact, Xue Jian was not very interested in exercises and martial arts.

After all, the system mall is sold, as long as you buy it with virtual currency, the level is not enough, you can also spend money to upgrade, everything is fine.

At this time, he was interested in the strange and interesting novels in the lobby on this floor, and he could increase his knowledge by reading these books, and if he had time, he could write a novel himself.

In his previous life, his favorite thing to do was to read novels on the Internet, and he was familiar with all kinds of routines, and it was not proper to make money when the time came.

Kicking and kicking, the wooden ladder of the quaint attic was creaking, and an old man with reading glasses and an ancient book came down from the second floor.

When the old man saw Chu Shan, he didn't smile, and went straight to the point.

"What's the matter with you here?"

Then Chu Shan told Xue Jian that he was going to take over Gu Xianglou, and he said it 1510.

The focus is on how talented Xue Jian is in doing business.

The old shopkeeper didn't care at all, just said.

"Just don't disturb me reading. ”

After saying that, he went upstairs on his own.

Chu Shan smiled helplessly and explained.

"The old shopkeeper is the old man of the Chu family, a generation older than the head of the family, but he didn't like to practice martial arts when he was young, he only liked to read, and he went to study all over the world since he was a child.

I heard that he also served as a priest in the imperial city, and only returned to his hometown a few years ago, and after he came back, he did not live in the Chu family, but moved to this ancient incense building, and was accompanied by books all day long. ”

Xue Jian smiled, didn't mind at all, and even admired it a little.

Like the last time he took over the old rice shop, he spent a whole day to understand the inside and outside of this ancient fragrance building, and finally found the reason for the bad business of the store.

Lack of core competencies.

To put it bluntly, it's the things here, and other shops also have them, so why should others come to Guxianglou to buy books?

Of course, Gu Xianglou has martial arts for sale, which most other shops don't have.

It's just that martial arts are rare, and the price is too expensive, how can ordinary people afford it, and those who are rich can't look down on this kind of low-level martial arts.

Therefore, Gu Xianglou's sale of martial arts is more like an attractive gimmick, which seems to be very competitive, but in fact it is chicken ribs and has no value.

Xue Jian pondered and meditated, and finally, his eyes lit up, and he took out a book from his arms, which was the basic exercises he had purchased from the system.
