262 opened

From site selection to decoration, it took less than two months in total, and at the same time as the decoration, Shang Jinxiu had already prepared the manpower and things needed. It's just that they have just come to Jiaozhou after all, and they are not familiar with the place, so it is more troublesome to prepare things.

Just to purchase the goods and prepare a uniform uniform, I ran several houses before it was settled. Although those nobles don't look down on Shang Jinxiu's petty fights, they are not soft at all when it comes to trading, and the prices they give are quite high, which makes it clear that they are bullying their newcomers.

Even though Shang Jinxiu was dissatisfied, these nobles had basically controlled the local market, and when they spoke, the others were naturally reluctant to let go. For this reason, Shang Jinxiu had to spend twice the price of the budget to buy all the things he needed.

She is the princess of Jiaozhou, so she naturally doesn't need to deal with these things personally, and the people below will do it for her. Shang Jinxiu brought a lot of useful people over this time, they all have real skills, so they were not used to suffering a little loss at first, and then quickly adapted to the situation here.

The shop opened, and Shang Jinxiu sent out all the prepared invitations in advance. The invitation was sent out in the name of the Jiaozhou Palace, clearly declaring that those shops were the property of the palace. Even though those nobles and squires looked down on Anton Hua very much, but now that he was in the name of the king of Jiaozhou, they didn't dare to do too much, and after receiving the invitation, they all sent someone over to participate.

Shang Jinxiu knew the thoughts of these people, and she didn't expect her and An Donghua to be able to subdue the local forces in Jiaozhou as soon as they came. What's more, her main purpose in coming to Jiaozhou is to make money and show her strengths by the way. Subduing the forces is what Anton Hua should do. She didn't want to overstep her bounds.

The aristocrats were aware of the current affairs, and the opening day was naturally very lively. It doesn't matter what the people who come think in their hearts. With a smile on their faces, they said "Wishing you prosperity" and "Wealth is abundant", and it was a lively scene of singing and dancing.

An Donghua and Shang Jinxiu are the prince and the other are the princess, and with their identities, it is naturally impossible to go down to welcome guests. In fact, Shang Jinxiu gave full authority to the steward to handle the matter of welcoming guests, and she and An Donghua each opened a private room to entertain female guests and male guests respectively.

The people who can sit at the table with them are naturally either rich or expensive. At the wine table, Shang Jinxiu gave each lady a gift. The nature she sent this time is no longer a mirror. Rather, it's a small bottle of essential oil. The essential oil is packed in a dark brown glass bottle, the glass bottle is not big, it is very delicately made, plus the exquisite packaging, as long as a woman sees it, there is nothing she doesn't like.

The people who came here were actually only at the bottom of the nobility, and their status was not high enough, so they naturally didn't dare to ignore Shang Jinxiu and An Donghua's invitations like others, so they only sent people to participate at will. Originally, they were a little apprehensive when they came. After receiving the gift, this anxiety suddenly disappeared without a trace, and only full of surprises remained.

Shang Jinxiu looked at the smiles on the faces of these noblewomen, and knew that her goal had been half achieved. She wants to do business. It's definitely not going to work on your own. No matter how good things are, they have to rely on publicity, and with the name of Jiaozhou Palace, she is unwilling to be robbed by anyone. But propaganda is necessary.

She prepared a lot of gifts this time, just waiting to give them away. In the beginning. She wasn't sure how many people would come, but whoever came. Since these people are willing to come, then she has a chance. Men are doing business outside the home, and women are actually in constant contact with each other to strengthen relationships.

These ladies are her best propaganda tools. Not only that, the status of these people who came is not very high, and they are naturally easier to deal with than those dignitaries, whether it is for her or for Antonhua, they are suitable allies.

If she and An Donghua want to take root in Jiaozhou, the most indispensable thing is the support of local forces. The resources of Jiaozhou have been almost divided among those upper-class nobles, and it is simply a fool's dream for the small nobles at the bottom to snatch food from the hands of the big nobles, and the arrival of Antonhua obviously gave them a chance.

Although Shang Jinxiu is not good at scheming, she is not a complete fool, she sees this very clearly, even if she doesn't understand, Andonghua will tell her.

In the past two months, Antonhua has talked to her a lot when he gets along with her. A lot of times Andonghua is saying that she is listening, Andonghua almost thinks of what to say, and I don't know if he is worried that Shang Jinxiu will suffer a loss when he gets along with the noblewomen, he has analyzed the situation in Jiaozhou with Shang Jinxiu, and told her who can be wooed, who can befriend, and who must be guarded against.

After all, Anton Hua was born in the palace and has been the crown prince for many years, and he has always been cultivated as a prince and received an elite education. Even if Shang Jinxiu has lived so many years longer than him, when it comes to power schemes, she is not An Donghua's opponent at all.

Although she understands the situation in Jiaozhou, she is far less clear than Andonghua, but when it comes to who can make friends, Shang Jinxiu has his own way of distinguishing it. The benefits of mental power growth are not only mental hints and mental attacks, her perception is more acute than before, unless it is the kind of hidden too deeply, she can sense the other party's attitude.

In addition, she also has the cheating device of mental hints, even if she can't make people obey her words, she can give people a hint and make people have a good impression of her.

Shang Jinxiu is not a pedantic person, when she met with the ladies this time, she once again exerted a spiritual suggestion in her eyes, as long as the noblewomen looked at her, they would be affected by the spiritual suggestion, and they couldn't help but have a good impression of her.

So after a meal, Shang Jinxiu seemed to have been regarded as little sisters by these ladies.

Of course, such a relationship is not strong, after all, women have always been emotional animals, and friendships between women come and go quickly. The ladies have a good attitude towards Shang Jinxiu, although it has the effect of spiritual suggestion, but it is also based on the consideration of interests. Shang Jinxiu and An Donghua wanted to win over these small nobles, and these small nobles naturally wanted to use An Donghua to change their current status and strive for greater benefits for the family.

Such a result can be said to be a smooth sail after the two sides weigh their interests. However, Shang Jinxiu didn't care about the true thoughts of these ladies, she didn't really want others to have a good impression of her, she just tried to reduce trouble for herself.

Women have a lot of thoughts, and these noblewomen who were born in the inner house are all human spirits. Once someone is dissatisfied with Shang Jinxiu, he can't tell when he will stumble on her and cause a lot of trouble.

Even though Shang Jinxiu is not afraid of trouble, he does not want to waste time on solving trouble. Her career in Jiaozhou can be said to have just started, and she doesn't want anyone to trouble her at this juncture.

When they separated, Shang Jinxiu deliberately mentioned the 'health hall', women have always cared about their appearance, especially these noble ladies who have the conditions and want to firmly grasp their status, so they are naturally more eager for maintenance.

Shang Jinxiu couldn't come up with any 'live advertisements' at this time, so he roughly talked about the main business content and opening time of 'Yangshengtang'. When she said this, she quietly gave a hint to the ladies to increase their impression of the 'health hall'. In this way, when the health hall opens, she will not worry that these people will not come.

Although there are only a few shops at present, Shang Jinxiu did not set the opening time on the same day, after all, there are so many guests, if they all open on the same day, then where should the guests go then?

The first one to open is 'Yipin Xian', not to mention the dishes, just the decoration of the store has made people shine, and when the dishes are put up, the unique tableware and meticulous plating, the carefully prepared food exudes an attractive fragrance, which is full of color and flavor, which makes people move their appetite at a glance.

Not only the invited guests, but even those who were not invited, when they learned that it was the property of the Jiaozhou Palace, they couldn't help but come over to take a look. When I arrived at the place, looking at the chic and unique decoration, and then smelling the smell wafting from it, where was the reason not to go in?

So on the first day of opening, 'Yipinxian' ushered in a good start, and the business was quite hot.

In this, although there is a reason why 'Yipin Xian' itself is good, it is also indispensable to bring benefits from the name of Jiaozhou Palace.

Just like those little nobles who wanted to win over Anton Hua, the ordinary people below sharpened their heads and wanted to hand over the state palace. Even if you don't stammer, the face of the Jiaozhou palace will always be given.

Shang Jinxiu also understood what these people thought, so although she had a good start on the first day, she didn't take it lightly. It is naturally good to have a big name for doing business, but it is not enough to rely on the name of the Jiaozhou Palace. Otherwise, even if the business can be done, it may not be able to do well.

So the day after the opening, she was even more nervous. Fortunately, although the situation on the second day was not as hot as the first day, it was also good, and it was not directly deserted.

After a month, seeing that the business of 'Yipinxian' had stabilized, and relying on thoughtful service and exquisite dishes to attract a group of loyal customers, Shang Jinxiu's hanging heart was put down.

Then, she was busy with the opening of the 'Health Hall'. At first, the 'Yangshengtang' only sold food, but as time passed, the 'Yangshengtang' added some special products, such as various medicinal baths for health, pillows that can make people sleep peacefully, incense, candles, and so on.

Shang Jinxiu originally wanted to add some massage and foot massage services, but thinking about the men's and women's defense at this time, she dismissed this idea. I am worried that once I have this, the 'health hall' will become a place for others to work in the eyes of others.

With the 'Yipin Xian' taking the lead and making a name for itself, and the name of the Jiaozhou Palace, coupled with Shang Jinxiu's deliberate publicity, on the day of the opening of the 'Yangshengtang', the business was even more popular than 'Yipin Xian'.

After all, both men and women want to live longer. (To be continued......)
