Gu Qing's obsessive operation, Liang Guodong couldn't understand it.

The merchants of these years are no longer as simple as in the early Tang Dynasty, the market is becoming more and more prosperous, the competition is becoming more and more fierce, and then the people's hearts are becoming more and more greedy. For example, price wars, such as monopolizing the market and forced takeovers, and so on.

Fortunately, Gu Qing understands no less routines than others, and when it comes to yin damage, these methods in the Tang Dynasty are just pediatrics.

On the third day, the Long Ji porcelain store in Chang'an East City has been well known, those large and small banners to the wind to the Long Ji advertising unexpectedly prosperous, just a few days to Long Ji brought a lot of new guests, Liang shopkeeper can not understand Gu Qing's purpose, but the trading profits are really into their own money bag, for a while a little forgetful, thinking that they have made the porcelain shop great again.

Compared with the joy of the shopkeeper Liang picking up the money, Hao Donglai and Shi Daxing were as depressed as if they had lost money.

They couldn't figure out why Gu Qing wanted to publicize the enemy, planting flags in the East Market was actually a very good propaganda method, if these flags were to promote their own stores, there would be some business in the next few days, and they could create some profits.

But now, the profits are in the pockets of the enemy, and they are propagating it for the enemy.

The shopkeeper of Longji Porcelain must have regarded them as fools, and his heart was panicked.

"Look at your little interest, it's just a few days' profits, and in a few days I'll let them pay back the principal with interest." Gu Qing couldn't help but say disdainfully when he saw the two of them hanging their heads.

It was very sad to see this dejected look in the morning, like a green grass above their heads that needed to be watered.

Hao Donglai said sullenly: "Master Hou, Long Ji can be regarded as spiritual now, the villain looked in front of their store this morning, and there are endless customers coming and going, and our store is full of ......."

Shi Daxing also sighed: "Now the entire Chang'an City knows that Longji's porcelain sells well, and it is the first porcelain company in the Tang Dynasty, and this reputation is still played by us, so I feel aggrie......ved when I think about it."

Gu Qing raised his eyebrows: "Chang'an City knows that Longji is the number one porcelain line?" Do both the government and the private merchants know? ”

Hao Donglai said with a wry smile: "The flags of Dongshi are planted everywhere, as long as you are not blind, you know Longji, especially the title of 'No. 1 in the Tang Dynasty', which can be described as thunderous." ”

Gu Qing smiled: "Then let's take the second step, in the afternoon, you go to build a batch of flags, and the flags will be written 'Shuzhou Qingji learns from Longji and strives to be the second in the Tang Dynasty'. ”

The two were stunned, and Hao Donglai couldn't help but say: "You not only praise the enemy as the first, but also recognize yourself as the second?" Master Hou, you should be a fool as an official......"

Gu Qing's smiling expression frightened Hao Donglai and quickly stopped his mouth.

Shi Daxing said with a discouraged face: "Master Hou, can you tell me why?" Doing so is tantamount to digging one's own grave, where is there a truth to praise the enemy as the first, but the own family is willing to admit the second? Speaking of which, our Qingji is about to become a joke in Dongshi. ”

Gu Qing sneered: "You two have been beaten by Long Ji these days, do you still think that your image is very great?" You guys, it's been a joke for a long time, let's put it to death and live again, it's a big deal to change from a joke to a super joke, what does it matter, just go out with a mask in the future, and it can add a lot of mysterious charm. ”

The two shopkeepers are not calm, have we really become a joke? But...... In contrast, the act of praising the enemy first is a joke, right?

Thinking so in their hearts, they didn't dare to say it, and the two shopkeepers looked at Gu Qing blankly, begging for an explanation and peace of mind.

Gu Qing looked at the mirror casually, unlike in the past, in the mirror today, he was wearing iron armor, a double-winged helmet, and a long sword at his waist.

"With such a peerless demeanor, where do you need to rob a woman from a good family on the street, it's obvious that a woman from a good family wants to rob me, ......" Gu Qing muttered to himself in the mirror, clenched the hilt of the sword on his waist, and said, "Boys must protect themselves well outside." ”

"Master Hou......" Hao Donglai said aggrievedly.

Gu Qingtou didn't reply: "Don't explain, do what I say, and believe me if you love me." ”

The two shopkeepers had to leave in despair.

The next day, the people of Chang'an East City and the Hu merchants found that the flags planted all over the East City had changed their contents, and Long Ji Porcelain was still the protagonist, and the name of "Datang No. 1" on the flags seemed to be more and more justified, and I don't know who certified it, anyway, Long Ji is Datang No. 1.

But there is also a supporting role that unconsciously bubbled, "Qingji porcelain is striving to be the second in the Tang Dynasty", watching the words on the flag fluttering in the wind, the passers-by in Dongshi laughed out loud.

That's a ...... It seems so unconfident to publicize himself, as if he was afraid of offending people, he softly admitted a second, so that passers-by couldn't help but be discouraged for this Qingji porcelain store.

After two days of publicity, Qingji porcelain store has gradually become the talk of merchants and people in Dongshi, especially the gimmick of "striving to be the second", which made the listeners laugh, and this gimmick has gradually become the limelight, which has covered the popularity of Longji's so-called "first in the Tang Dynasty".

It's amazing, the second is actually more popular than the first, and there are many Hu businessmen who are born with strong curiosity to give up Long Ji, and can't help but go to the door of Qing Ji, if nothing else, they want to see why Qing Ji thinks that the second is not as good as the quality of porcelain, or the price is more expensive than Long Ji, even if it is nothing, it is not interesting to simply see how stupid the shopkeeper of Qing Ji is.

Inexplicably, Qingji porcelain shop suddenly has a lot of traffic, it can be said that it is like a market, many merchants entered the door and stared at the faces of Hao Donglai and Shi Daxing, trying to find the ancestral fool gene from their faces, after reading the shopkeeper, the merchants looked at the porcelain and asked the price.

As a result, Hao Donglai and Shi Daxing were caught off guard and forced to accept the inhumane onlookers of the merchants of Dongshi.

Ushering in the send-off, raw Zhang ripe Wei, the basic skills that a businessman must have.

Hao Donglai and Shi Daxing stood in front of the door to greet the guests, the smiles on their faces were very stiff, and the corners of their mouths twitched slightly.

Their eyes ...... It makes me very unhappy. Shi Daxing's face was expressionless, his lips opened a slit, and he said as low as a mosquito.

Hao Donglai smiled very kindly, the fat man's smile naturally gave people a sense of intimacy, but his painful eyes completely betrayed his heart.

"They're not looking at fools, are they? Do we look like fools? ”

Shi Daxing snorted coldly: "I'm not like it, but you look like a fool when you laugh more ugly than crying." ”

Hao Donglai was not in the mood to quarrel with him, and sighed: "Master Hou is really clever, there are ten times more customers in our store today than in the past, it seems that there is nothing wrong with this 'Datang second', I think it is better than the first...... But why do I still feel the urge to close the door and then order the men to beat the guests to death? Have I lost my passion for trade? ”

Shi Daxing sneered: "Although you give the order, if you spoil the good deeds of the Hou Ye, you wait to be swept away, and your share will be mine, heh, I don't have too much......"

Looking at the endless stream of guests, Shi Daxing was in a trance for a while, and muttered, "Our business has come back to life?" Just planting some flags in the East Market, that's ...... Alive? What's the key? ”

Hao Donglai suddenly grinned: "Actually...... As long as the business is booming, it doesn't matter if you are treated as a fool, a fool is a fool, pat the money bag on your body, whoever makes less money is the real fool. ”

After speaking, the smile on Hao Donglai's fat face became more and more stupid, and a line of saliva almost flowed from the corner of his mouth.

Shi Daxing glanced at him with disgust, and after thinking about it carefully, Hao Fatzi's words seemed to make sense, making money is the king's way, what does it matter if he is treated as a fool?

So Shi Daxing tried to show a foolish smile like Hao Donglai to satisfy the guests' desire to peep, but Shi Daxing's face was thinner than Hao Donglai's after all, and the appearance of pretending to be a fool was far less natural than Hao Donglai's, and after pretending to be for a long time, Shi Daxing's shoulders collapsed, and he sighed gloomily: "I'm sorry, I can't do it......"

…………

In the evening, the two shopkeepers closed the shop and rushed to Gu Qing's house in a hurry.

"Master Hou really has a clever plan, our Datang No. 2 business is much more prosperous than Long Ji, and the customers of our store today are three times or three times that of Long Ji!"

Shi Daxing admired Gu Qing so much, until now he hadn't figured out why after he thought he was second, his business was even more prosperous than the first, but it didn't prevent him from worshipping Gu Qing.

"Master Hou, today we have made more than 200 transactions in the four stores of Qingji, including ten large transactions from Hu merchants in the Western Regions, ordering tens of thousands of porcelain, and delivering them in two months, we have made a lot of money today!"

Gu Qing was lying on the futon in the front hall, and today he led the left guard soldiers to patrol the Xingqing Palace all day, and he was really tired, but in the face of the excited good news of the two shopkeepers, Gu Qing couldn't lift a trace of energy.

The armor was very powerful to wear, but if it was hung on his body all day, it would be too heavy, and by the afternoon, Gu Qing could no longer straighten his waist, so he had to skip work and sneak home in advance.

"Ah, congratulations, congratulations, I wish the two of you a day to make money, go and call a maid for me to come in, rub my waist ......"

Hao Dong volunteered and stretched out his hand: "Master Hou, I'll come, I will use a few hands of massage techniques, and keep it to the satisfaction of Master Hou." ”

"Stop! Get away! I don't really like women, but I don't like men touching me. ”

Shi Daxing glanced at Hao Fatzi with disdain, and immediately went out to find a passing maid to come in.

After the maid came in, she looked timid, and after hearing that she was going to rub Gu Qing's waist, a little excitement suddenly rose in the maid's eyes, and in just a moment, she changed from cowardice to eagerness.

If the Hou Ye is satisfied, she will be promoted from a maid to a maid in the room, which is a qualitative leap in the workplace, not to mention that this young Hou Ye is still unmarried, if ...... Hee-hee.

A pair of slightly rough hands kneaded Gu Qing's waist, and after a while, Gu Qing turned his head dissatisfied: "Didn't you eat?" Use some force! ”

The maid was so frightened that she hurriedly increased her strength.

Gu Qing frowned and glanced at her, and said, "What does it mean that you look like a peach blossom with watery eyes?" Do you think that if I rub my waist, I will fall in love with you and marry you? No! Not the slightest possibility! ”

Pulling a blanket from the side of the futon, Gu Qing got up and covered the maid's head tightly, then lay down and said, "It's finally much more pleasing to the eye, continue to massage." ”

The two shopkeepers were stunned and watched Gu Qing's commotion, and they didn't squeak for a long time.

Gu Qing was very comfortable being massaged, and hummed with satisfaction: "Are you two okay?" ”

The two shopkeepers came back to their senses and said, "It's nothing, it's just that I came to report the good news to Lord Hou, and our store business is alive......"

Gu Qing said lazily: "Ah, congratulations, congratulations, I wish the two of you a golden future...... Hey? This sentence seems to have been said just now. ”

"Yes, Master Hou, you just said that we received twice as many congratulations, so happy......"

Gu Qing said lightly: "Do you think that the title of 'Datang No. 2' will really make money every day from now on?" Do you know how many porcelain shops are in Chang'an East City? Will Long Kee watch us overshadow him from now on without making any moves? ”

The two of them were stunned, and Hao Donglai said with a solemn expression: "What does Master Hou mean, we have the next step?" ”

"Of course, there is a next step, planting flags, Datang second, it's all gimmicks and foreshadowing, and completely defeating Longji is the goal......" Gu Qing sighed, glanced at Hao Donglai and said: "I usually think that you don't look very awake, but for the sake of everyone being acquaintances, I will put up with it, why do you look so stupid today?" ”

Hao Donglai was speechless, and Shi Daxing suddenly laughed next to him: "Master Hou, this guy has been pretending to be a fool in front of the store all day today, and he is really stupid at this time." ”

Gu Qing suddenly said: "It turns out that I have found my true self." When the float is white, it is ...... By the way, what do you two think about life's setbacks? ”

The two were stunned, why did they suddenly talk about life? It's so sudden.

Without waiting for the two of them to organize the wording, Gu Qing said again: "It doesn't really matter what you think, so I don't want to hear it." ”

Two: ???

Gu Qing then said: "What do you two think of digging a pit to bury yourself? ”

Two: ???

Today's Hou Ye is so jumping, he really can't keep up with his rhythm......

Gu Qing closed his eyes and said: "Oh, this is not important, I want to tell you, if a setback in life comes suddenly, don't be sad, don't cry, after all, the pit was dug by yourself, and you have to jump into it with tears......"

Hao Donglai was about to cry: "Master Hou, what are you talking about?" Why do I feel like I'm getting stupid? ”

Gu Qingming stopped and sent her out, then sat up and looked at the two of them, and said slowly: "Next, let's take the third step." ”

The two shopkeepers have personally experienced the wonders of Gu Qing's idea, so they have done psychological construction for themselves, this time no matter how outrageous and unreasonable Hou Ye's idea is, even if he says that he will smash his four stores, they will not hesitate to implement it.

"Although Master Hou commands, the villain will definitely do it." The two of them looked resolute.

Gu Qing rubbed his waist, which was still a little painful, and said, "The third step, find someone to pull out all the flags we planted in the East Market at night, trample them on the street and tear them apart, and in addition, all four of our stores were also smashed." ”
