Chapter 716: Deserted Opening

A mile west of Jinbi Garden, a large, but unremarkable building was completed in just two months.

When everyone was still talking about how to sell the next house in Jinbi Garden, this market, called Datang Trading Center, officially opened for business.

Although Wang Fugui had spread the information about the opening of the Datang Trading Center to merchants in the eastern and western cities ten days in advance, the Datang Trading Center, which has more than 1,000 shops, was rented by less than 300 people.

This is still because the lease fee for three months was waived in the early stage, otherwise it may be that the workshop under the Chu Wangfu will arrange people to come here to open shops, and other businesses are still accustomed to going to the east and west cities.

Don't look at the housing prices in Chang'an City compared with Jinbi Garden, but this does not include the shops in the east and west cities.

In the densely populated West Market, the price of a shop of about 20 square meters can go to at least 200 yuan, and the price of the unit area is dozens of times that of Jinbi Garden.

But in such an expensive place, merchants often break their heads for a shop.

"Lord Wang, you said that we were exempted from rent for three months when we left first, and the rent for the first year was also a symbolic silver coin, but it turned out that few people were willing to come here, which is really incomprehensible."

Today is the opening day of the Datang Trading Center, but the flow of people is not much.

Wang Fugui followed behind Li Kuan a little apprehensively and walked around the trading center.

"Tomorrow we will put a dozen advertisements on the "Datang Daily", emphasizing that the rent will be waived for the first three months, and anyone who buys a fake in the trading center, we will be responsible for compensation!"

Li Kuan is naturally very confident about the future of the trading center.

However, at present, this situation must be broken first, otherwise it will really affect your plan.

For a new market to flourish, the simplest thing is to let both buyers and sellers get benefits, otherwise unilateral profits cannot be sustained.

"This ...... Lord Wang, if the things sold in our own shop are fake, it is natural that we are responsible for compensation; But what other people sell, we can't put our quality on them, if we are also responsible for compensation, wouldn't it be very risky? ”

Regarding Li Kuan's feelings, Wang Fugui's heart was full of worries.

Although this is an era of paying attention to integrity, as long as there are interests, how much is integrity worth a pound?

"It's easy! We set a time limit for buyers to only find the problem within seven days before they can ask us for compensation; We require all shops to sell more than 10 silver coins through the management office of the trading center. The buyer pays the purchase price to the management office first, and after seven days, if there is no doubt, we will pay the seller for the goods, so that both the buyer and the seller should be able to accept it. ”

The most difficult thing about a transaction, especially a large transaction, is the establishment of a relationship of trust.

For example, if a merchant goes to the wholesale market, even if he feels that something meets his needs very well, he does not dare to place a large order immediately.

However, if the money for your own order is not directly given to the buyer, but to a third party worthy of everyone's trust, only after seven days when the buyer has no doubts, the payment will be given to the seller, which is completely different.

As long as you like the goods, you can buy them directly!

Dissatisfied?

As long as it is a quality problem, find the management of the trading center for a refund within seven days!

"Is our trading center management office responsible for the processing of the transaction between the buyer and the seller? Wouldn't that be a hassle? There is so much transaction information to manage, and we need to recruit at least dozens of account offices, unless the commission is drawn from the transaction between the buyer and the seller, otherwise it is a loss-making business. ”

Wang Fugui imagined that there was a long queue at the door of the management office, and everyone was waiting for the management office to help deal with the transaction of goods, and their heads were big.

Why does his own prince always like to do such a thankless job?

"Lord Wang, if the management office extracts commissions from the middle, it will be similar to the tooth shop. In Chang'an City, the reputation of the tooth shop is very bad. And, if that's the case, it's also a question of whether the buyer or seller pays the commission. Whoever pays for it, they are certainly not happy. At that time, they may directly trade privately and do not come to the management office to go through the formalities. ”

Wu Meiniang expressed her opinion on the side.

In terms of grasping people's hearts, although Wu Meiniang is young, she is far more powerful than ordinary people.

"Concubine Niangniang is right, buyers and sellers will not be willing to pay more, and when the time comes, the management office will cause a lot of infamy, not to mention, and the reputation of the trading center will be ruined."

Although the construction of the Datang Trading Center did not cost much.

And it's not as difficult as the tallest building in Datang that is digging the earth.

But it must also be a building that cost tens of thousands of dollars to build, and in terms of the scale of a single building, the trading center is also one of the best in Chang'an City.

If he had just messed up a project in his own hands, and then messed up another one, Wang Fugui felt that his position in the Chu Palace's Mansion would be shaken.

"Nope! Who said they were going to collect money? The management office of the trading center cooperates with Datang Royal Bank, and when the business is good, the daily payment is at least tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands; Although the payment is not from the management office, there is a seven-day storage cycle, and the right to use the funds during this time is actually in the hands of the management office. We can use this money to do things. You have money in your hands, and you're still worried that you won't be able to earn it? What commissions are charged to buyers and sellers? ”

Li Kuan looked at Wang Fugui like a fool.

The people of Datang are still too simple.

A certain treasure in later generations played a very familiar routine, take it and use it directly, isn't he fragrant?

Buyers can rest assured, sellers are relieved, and the management office can take this opportunity to make money.

Kill three birds with one stone!

"Seconds! Great! Lord, if this happens, with the reputation of our Chu Wangfu in the business district, everyone must have trust in the management office, and the trust problem between buyers and sellers will be solved at once, which will directly lay the foundation for the prosperity of the Datang Trading Center. To put it mildly, during the holidays, whether it is the West Market or the East Market, it has to be left behind by the trading center. ”

Wu Meiniang naturally knows very well what is the most difficult thing in business transactions.

In the era of Datang, most of the large-scale transactions took place between acquaintances, who knew each other well.

This has its advantages, but it also has great limitations.

Especially for some newcomers, they simply lack the necessary acquaintances.

Today, the existence of the management office of Datang Trading Center has solved the biggest problem for them.
