Chapter 193: Members
The house is as warm as spring, and there are too many cotton clothes to wear, so Qian'er prepared temporary clothes for the Queen Mother and the ladies. ”
The style of the clothes is extremely simple, the shape is like a windbreaker brocade robe, but the materials are very particular, all of them are sewn with silk, silky and elegant, and they are not vulgar.
"Queen Mother, although this dress is for temporary wear, it is actually the most suitable for wearing while sleeping, elegant, showing a woman's style, and silky and close-fitting, not easy to get cold, very comfortable. It is rare for the Queen Mother and the ladies to come to Bibo Villa, and I have prepared a set for each of them to bring back in spring, summer, autumn and winter. ”
The Queen Mother said with a smile: "Look, the people of the Gongsun family, how shrewd are they in business? ”
Princess Wu also smiled: "Such a new thing, let us enjoy it first, and it is nothing to be a sign." It's just that your niece and granddaughter are more shrewd, and only give one set, how can you change it?
As long as these noble ladies can accept it, don't say one set, a hundred sets of Gongsun Qian are also willing to give it.
Gongsun Qian said with a smile: "Originally, I was going to send four sets to each person, but the time was too urgent and I didn't have time to rush the system, and when the system was completed, I would send them to the house one by one." ”
This is a brand new clothing, if you can take this opportunity to enter the eyes of these noble ladies, it is equivalent to opening up a new market, and you are not afraid of the family's suppression.
There are many wealthy families, and there are countless princes and ministers, it is conceivable that if these fashionable clothes can enter these people's mansions, what kind of military uniforms will they use?
Military uniforms are thin, these high-end clothes are the real money, Gongsun Qian smiled.
Osmanthus Hall.
Outside the hall, the snow is blowing one after another, and the fragrance of osmanthus in the hall is pervasive, which makes people have a great appetite.
In front of each person is a beautiful mahogany table, and the maid serves four dishes to each table: stewed venison, smoked bamboo shoots and ham, pan-fried chickfish, and cabbage heart in broth.
The aroma is mouth-watering.
A plate of stewed venison, only a piece of palm-sized venison, cut into neat stacks of meat, placed on a snow-white plate, dotted with two fresh red flowers; the smoked bamboo shoots and ham are only a big spoonful, the green bamboo shoots are tender and green, and the ham is light red, like safflower and green leaves set off each other, very refreshing; pan-fried auspicious fish, the fish meat is only cut into a small piece, garnished with coriander, green and white, fragrant and attractive; there is only a small cup of cabbage heart in the broth, and there is a green orchid floating on it.
The purple venison, the white plate, the green and tender safflower, and the milky white soup are very delicate, noble and elegant, and people can't bear to eat them.
This kind of plating subverts the tradition of all banquets.
All the princes and nobles here, what kind of delicacies have you never seen? Which banquet was not full of delicacies from the mountains and seas?
I have seen a lot of banquets at the big table, the first feeling is tired, and the second feeling is fullness, where is there any appetite? In particular, there are a few ladies here, who are almost the same age as the Queen Mother, who are old and have a poor appetite, where can they have any appetite for ordinary food?
Nowadays, the mahogany table is set out with a white and warm porcelain plate, and the first thought in my heart is that it is too beautiful! Especially a few flowers make people feel delicate and delicate, and the food is very fresh and fragrant; the second thought is that if you don't eat, you may be hungry, and your appetite will be greatly opened; the third thought is indeed too luxurious, and the winter is snowy and cold, and there are flowers on the dinner plate.
Sure enough, the Queen Mother sighed: "Qian'er, although you are shrewd enough to do business, but such a luxurious bath, such exquisite food, and such gorgeous costumes, we will be criticized for being the first to participate in this banquet." ”
This is the difference between the perspective of politicians and businessmen, although the people here are not people in the court, but their status is noble, and they also represent the perspective of the court.
Gongsun Qian smiled and said: "For the concerns of the Queen Mother, Xuan'er has long expected that Bibo Villa only takes small profits to maintain the operation of the villa, and only receives guests who have passed the inspection, and is not open to the public, and the extravagance is limited to a specific range. ”
A successful businessman must consider business issues from a political perspective, which is not something that everyone can do, and it is also an important reason why the Queen Mother likes Gongsun Qian.
The Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction when she heard this, and then asked with great interest: "What kind of guest can enter the eyes of the law?"
Gongsun Qian's face was slightly red, and she said embarrassedly: "All this is operated by Xuan'er, and I don't know about it." ”
Lei Shaoxuan stepped forward and said: "Empress Dowager, Bibo Villa's reception capacity is limited, for example, the bathing just now, too many people will become a pot of porridge, which will affect the guest experience, so we only accept a specific number of customers at most a few hundred." ”
"Xiao Xuanzi, what kind of customers can come?" Princess Wu was very familiar with Gongsun Qian, and said politely: "Don't let anyone in, I still want to come again." ”
"Xiao Xuanzi?" Lei Shaoxuan was slightly stunned when he heard this, and regarded me as a grandson?
"Bibo Villa draws warm spring aura into the room, often comes to bathe, and the aura is moisturized, which can make the body strong and strong, prolong life, and ......eliminate all diseases," Lei Shaoxuan said, "However, the maintenance cost is very huge, and it takes hundreds of thousands of taels of silver every year to maintain." ”
Lei Shaoxuan said confidently: "If you want to come to Bibo Villa, you need to pay a one-time payment of five thousand taels of silver to become a member, and the membership is valid for life." Bathing in an ordinary spiritual pool costs 10 taels of silver each time, and other pools cost between 100 taels and 500 taels; if you want to stay, you need as much as 1,000 taels in the spiritual energy room, and meals are additional. ”
The ladies were dumbfounded when they heard this, and they cost a hundred taels of silver to take a bath, which is called small profit?
"If we had washed each pool just now and had a meal by the way, wouldn't it cost thousands of taels of silver?" Princess Wu asked in surprise.
"Therefore, the first condition for passing our inspection is to have sufficient financial resources, followed by status and cultivation. Lei Shaoxuan smiled, "Bibo Villa only accepts high-end customers, and coming to Bibo Villa means nobility, elegance and wealth." For example, the ladies who came today are typical customers of Bibo Villa, and they guarantee that customers who come to Bibo Villa to consume will never insult their identity. ”
"Pay five thousand taels of silver before you can become a member, if you don't come to spend, won't you pay this money in vain?" The old lady of the Shi family asked suspiciously, a little worried: "What's more, bathing and eating are so expensive, isn't it only the wronged boss who comes?"
The Shi family is the family of the prince, although it is also a wealthy and noble house, Mrs. Shi is known for her diligence and thrift.
The Queen Mother scolded with a smile: "Be careful that you can't drive it, crying and shouting to borrow money." ”
Lei Shaoxuan smiled and said: "It costs a thousand taels or ten thousand taels to eat a meal in Guanghan Palace, and it is still like a cloud, Bibo Mountain Villa is such a good place, why worry about no guests?"
Lei Shaoxuan instigated: "It is said that there is a rich family in South Vietnam, the male owner is suave, married dozens of beautiful concubines, and often lingers in the romantic land, but his wife is extremely virtuous, extremely diligent and thrifty, and only eats eighteen dishes at each meal......"
"Are you still thrifty at eating eighteen dishes per meal?" said Mrs. Luo, who was the daughter of a lieutenant.
"Eat only one pickled leek and one fried leek per meal, twenty-nine (leek) eighteen. Lei Shaoxuan said.
The crowd burst into laughter.
"Women are diligent and thrifty and save money, but let these stinky men take them to marry beautiful concubines, why save money for them?"
"We also have to spend money, at least we can bring our granddaughter here to play, no better than them spending money outside?"
"That is, why can they be suave outside, but let us women keep empty rooms......"
“......”
Twitter, dinner turned into a denunciation.
The winter is cold and there is nowhere to go, Bibo Mountain Villa is such a warm and beautiful place, there is no other, and it can be expected and will inevitably become a difficult place to find.
Many ladies here spend 120,000 taels for their children and grandchildren, and they don't feel distressed, so how can they feel distressed about bringing their children and grandchildren here to spend a little silver taels?
Could it be that the desperate effort to save money is to let the man take it out and have an affair?
"Xuan'er, give me a member, and I'll send the silver over when I turn around. ”
A lady with a round face, slightly chubby, and delicate skin said domineeringly: "This is a good place." I always used the excuse of going out to socialize, saying that it was inconvenient for the female dependents to accompany me, and I wouldn't let us follow. This place can receive female guests, and in the future, he will only be allowed to come here for entertainment, and we will watch from the next door to see what other reason he has?"
"That is, we can come here as a family to eat, there are so many people in the family, there are many rules, so uncomfortable. It's more expensive, if we eat out as us, if the price is too low, it will make people look down, right?"
“......”
In the stunned eyes of the Queen Mother and Mrs. Shi, the fifteen ladies who accompanied them already had more than ten scheduled members, and the rest were eager to try, just waiting to go home to discuss.
Lei Shaoxuan waved his hand, and a maid brought a tray with a bunch of jade plaques on the tray.
Lei Shaoxuan smiled and said: "Bibo Villa was given by the Queen Mother, and it could only be opened by the grace of the Queen Mother, so Xuan'er specially prepared fifteen membership signs to give to the distinguished guests who came with the Queen Mother, which is also to reflect the merits of the Queen Mother." This member is the highest level of gold member, there are only 15 sides, gold members spend here, all fees are discounted. ”
The ladies were pleasantly surprised.
As soon as Lei Shaoxuan opened his mouth, he exempted five thousand taels of silver, and immediately praised the Queen Mother's discernment, and the Queen Mother smiled from ear to ear.
It's hot, it's hot!
Under the authoritative publicity and certification of fifteen top noble ladies, Bibo Villa has become a symbol of nobility, elegance and wealth.
The five hundred membership jade plaques were swept away within ten days.
Lei Shaoxuan earned 2.5 million taels of silver, and the speed of accumulating wealth made Gongsun Qian stunned.
There are many contacts between princes and ministers, wealthy families, but there are many people who come to visit, and it is too formal, and there are many inconveniences, and there are not many places in Xijing where women can eat and rest, and Bibo Villa has become a gathering place for wealthy families for a while.
For the banquet of important business contacts, the most luxurious and noble place must be chosen, and where else can we find a more luxurious and magnificent place than Bibo Villa? Being able to entertain guests in Bibo Villa has also become a symbol of status and status for a while.
Merchants who did not participate in the opening ceremony of Bibo Villa at the beginning are now difficult to ask for a membership, and a member jade card can be fried to 50,000 taels of silver.
Without a membership sign, Bibo Mountain Resort will not accept it.
In business dealings, many customers designate to dine and entertain at Bibo Villa, and they are proud to be able to spend in Bibo Villa, so many businesses have to ask for people everywhere in order to be able to feast important customers in Bibo Villa.
Bibo Villa has been in the limelight for a while.
