Chapter 76: Yipinju
However, the next conversation still made Cao Liang a little disappointed.
Originally, he hoped that after getting his father's approval, he could let his father secretly allocate some military salaries from the cavalry battalion to support him in building as many repeaters as possible.
But Cao Yan refused him without hesitation, the military salary of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion could not be moved, and the family's savings were so much, except for daily expenses, they could not meet Cao Liang's needs.
It seems that you have to find a way to make money yourself.
At the same time, Cao Liang also tentatively inquired about the possibility of arranging Shi Bao into the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, and Cao Yan said that the Xiao Cavalry Battalion is currently being rectified, and there is no plan to add new officers for the time being.
It seems that Shi Bao's dream of becoming an official has to be extended indefinitely.
Cao Yan told Cao Liang to be cautious, to do what he can, and not to be reckless.
Cao Liang listened to them one by one, but his stomach was full of slander, Cao Yan was bent on picking fruits, and took a crossbow catapult to equip his riding camp, but he didn't even spend a dime, and he was reluctant to invest even a penny.
Hey, others are cheating fathers, but when they come to themselves, they become pit sons, and they have no money and make a fart.
However, Cao Liang refused to give up, since his father couldn't get support here, only Cao Liang had to figure out a way by himself.
What is the most profitable business?
Of course, it's the business of the rich and the noble.
Although there are more ordinary people in the world, the consumption power of the common people is limited, they live a self-sufficient life of male farmers and female weavers, and it is unreliable to expect to make money from them.
In Luoyang, the real main force of consumption, or those high-ranking officials and nobles, Cao Liang wants to make money, so he naturally has to make money from them.
To say that the most successful in this regard, there is no one more than Yipinju in Jingshi, this store has been taking the high-end route, creating luxury brands, those dignitaries and nobles spend money like running water, and Yipinju has made a lot of money early.
Cao Liang decided to go to Yipinju tomorrow to have a look and steal some business.
said to go, and the next morning, Cao Liang took Fang Bu and Afu and the others and went straight to Yipinju.
Yipinju is located in the middle of Tongtuo Street, in fact, it is not too far from the Gaoling Marquis Mansion, but Cao Liang has never been there before.
Today, Cao Liang did not ride a horse, but went on foot, and he deliberately changed into a brocade dress, which was glamorous and beautiful, and he looked like a noble son.
Along the way, it was leisurely sprinkled, and after a short time, it was already in front of the door of Yipinju.
Yipinju is a three-storey store, the decoration of the façade is very elegant, the golden wall is brilliant, magnificent, just this façade, it is enough to make the vast majority of Luoyang people discouraged.
However, it is still a crowded city, and there are quite a lot of people coming in and out.
There is no welcome lady at the door, but there are two big men standing in the shape of a big man, but they look like minions nodding and bowing, which really does not match their figures, only occasionally when one or two people wearing cloth clothes pass by the door, the two strong men can be regarded as revealing a little bit of the true colors of strong men, their eyes are vicious, and their momentum is arrogant, so that those guys who don't open their eyes know how difficult to retreat.
There is no plot of pretending to slap the face, but all the guests who come here are all dressed in brocade and jade belts, and they are personable, and there will be no situation where the gatekeeper looks down on people at all.
Think about the repeated pretending plots in urban novels, those pig's feet with extraordinary identities and billions of assets, deliberately wearing cheap clothes, and then slapping his face after being blinded, Cao Liang is a pain in the face, whether it is modern or ancient, it is the era of people relying on clothes and horses to see their faces, you have to pretend to be a grandson yourself, and you will not be stepped on, it is simply intolerable.
It can only be said that the pig's feet are pig brains, and the IQ is offline.
Cao Liang has been going to the Grange these days, and he is often dressed in cloth, but when he came to Yipinju today, he changed into a brocade dress, and unless he was idle, he would wear cloth clothes to pretend to be forced.
As soon as the two strong men saw Cao Liang coming, they immediately had a sneer on their faces, their bodies were half a head taller than Cao Liang, and they bowed like shrimps, and when a noble son like Cao Liang came to the door, they were like welcoming the God of Wealth.
Even if it was Fang Bu Afu who was wearing ordinary clothes behind Cao Liang, they didn't dare to slack off for half a point, although they also knew that Fang Bu Afu was a servant, but it also depended on the master to beat the dog, if it was because he neglected the noble son's subordinates and made the noble son unhappy, then it was really worth the loss.
Cao Liangxing walked inside, the interior decoration of the lobby on the first floor was more luxurious than the door outside, and the items presented were dazzling and flawless.
The general shops are all engaged in a certain type of goods, such as jade shops, silk and satin shops, armory shops, spice shops, gold and silver jewelry stores, etc., while Yipinju is more like a grocery store, operating a wide variety of goods.
But no one will think of this as a grocery store, because the things here have one of the biggest characteristics, that is, they are expensive.
And it's not generally expensive, it's completely outrageously expensive.
However, in terms of the quality of the goods, it is unprovoked, Yipinju has always only sold high-quality products, and those defective goods have no chance to be put on the shelves of Yipinju.
For example, a gold hairpin is generally sold for no more than 1,000 yuan in ordinary gold and silver jewelry stores, but in Yipinju, it has increased more than 10 times, and the price is as high as more than 10,000 yuan, far exceeding the value of the gold hairpin itself.
But despite this, such a gold hairpin is still a hot seller, there are many buyers, the same is three or two gold hairpins, the style of a product is much better than the style of ordinary gold and silver stores, naturally let those daughters are loved.
It is estimated that in this era, there is no habit of letting women be salespeople, and it is estimated that there is only Qinglou Lefang on the occasion of women showing their heads, and the business that women can do is only the skin and meat business.
Cao Liang met the Tsing Yi steward of Yipinju who he had met a few days ago, and when that guy saw Cao Liang, he also nodded and complimented, without the arrogance of the previous days, and even completely forgot all the unhappiness that happened before.
Door-to-door is a guest, this point Yipinju all abide by, absolutely no one dares to offend the guests who come to the door, although the Tsing Yi steward is not low in Yipinju, but at this time he is also like a little guy, warmly greeted Cao Liang and treated him warmly.
Cao Liang was faintly disappointed, it seemed that he would not have the opportunity to see that stunning lady again on this trip, although she was a first-class person, but on this occasion, she would definitely not show up.
