Chapter 110: The Way of Doing Business

received Li Shimin's will to see the Lizheng Palace after the dispersal of the dynasty the next day, so Sun Xiangfu and Xi Junmai, who were used to getting up early recently, planned to go to Dongshi after doing their morning exercises, and by the way, they also took a look at the shops of the supreme leather goods and imperial furniture.

"Master Sun, you're here."

In the store of Supreme Leather Goods, Yang Qiu specially arranged for a subordinate official named Shen Sanyuan to take care of it personally.

Sun Xiangfu hummed, and walked to the store under his leadership, the shop is not small, about three or four hundred square meters, and the decoration is also extremely luxurious, although it is morning at the moment, there are many people in the store, many waitresses who are similar to the waitresses of Wangjianglou are selling leather goods to customers, and waiting for them to try on.

"How's the sales going?"

"Lord Qiyu, it's good, our inventory was sold in two days, and last night, there were almost more than 3,000 turnovers." Shen Sanyuan replied.

"It's only more than 3,000? Take the books. Sun Xiangfu frowned when he heard this.

After a while, Sun Xiangfu knew the reason, threw the account book into Shen Sanyuan's arms and said, "I said that the price is at least ten times the cost, but I didn't ask you to pinch the price ten times!" Look at it, this handbag can be set to eight or ten! Also, high heels, in the future, there are not allowed to have less than three money, the leather boots of ordinary leather shops are sold to the consistent above, our price is only one or two, right from the supreme leather goods these four words? ”

The reserve goods produced by the Animal Husbandry Division during this period are almost more than 10,000 pieces, and they have sold out of two percent of the goods, that is to say, at least one or two thousand pieces, and the average price of one piece is less than two, too low, not to open the price of ordinary leather goods, the feeling of tall and tall can not be reflected, and I am even more sorry for the supreme leather goods on each piece of leather goods A peony flower and four small characters of the seal.

"However, the price has been set, and now the price has risen, I am afraid that some customers will complain." Shen Sanyuan said depressedly.

In his opinion, selling something for 300 guan is already a huge profiteering, according to the price that Sun Xiangfu just said, let alone twenty or thirty times.

"Complaints? People who have used our products will probably only praise, if there are too many other evaluations, that is, our product design is not good enough, besides, the goods are clearly marked with prices, they choose their own, and the guests will not want it if it is not good. If you want a reason to explain the price increase to your customers, tell them that there is a fixed amount of production of these things every year, and if you miss it, you will never have the opportunity to buy it again. ”

"However, we still have a lot of goods in reserve! Moreover, production will be increased later, and it will ······ when the time comes." Shen Sanyuan said honestly.

"That's it, more? Chang'an has a population of 1 million and hundreds of thousands, and the noble families and wealthy families account for at least 100,000, and you are only selling one or two thousand goods now, and your market share is not even a CD, so you need to worry about not being able to sell the accumulated goods? First of all, I will set a small goal for you, within a year, so that all the rich people in Chang'an will have at least one or two of our products, 200,000 pieces, will the workshop of the Animal Husbandry Department make them this year?

Moreover, who said that only Chang'an will sell these goods, tomorrow, I will directly let people pull away fifty percent of the inventory in your warehouse, and then Luoyang, Yangzhou, and even Shuzhong will distribute some of them, so you have to raise the price up, otherwise, you will really be out of stock in a few days. ”

Hearing this, Shen Sanyuan didn't dare to disagree anymore, he was not born as a businessman, and where did he know what market research, in this regard, Sun Xiangfu didn't need to investigate, through every time he started the play, he knew the approximate number of rich people in Chang'an by ordering a table in Wangjiang Building, and each time it was full, there were nearly 10,000 people, and most of them couldn't book a place because they went late, and they needed a waiter to explain.

Moreover, not everyone has the habit of going out to crowd people to watch the show. Like Wei Zheng and Kong Yingda, they have never been to Wangjiang Tower. However, these people and their families have the need to wear shoes and carry bags!

Imagine, a briefcase is carried in a leather bag, it is much better than a cloth bag with a document file or the like, and the leather bag can sometimes prevent rain, and it will not be like a cloth bag.

After pointing out Shen Sanyuan in the operation and furnishings, Sun Xiangfu came to the shop of the imperial court furniture, the situation also made Sun Xiangfu not satisfied, first of all, the pricing problem, the furniture can be used for many years if you buy it once, and the craftsmen of this period are very real, and the things are built very firmly, so it is basically a stubble sale, this price should be more outrageous than the consumables produced by the supreme leather goods, but they are also selling with about ten times the profit.

Secondly, Sun Xiangfu asked them to imitate the furniture made by the craftsmen of the Sun Mansion, but in the past few months, they have really only made those things that are available in the Sun Mansion, and they are not comprehensive.

"What's that, Scribe Zhao! From now on, remove all the price cards in your shop, triple them, hang them, in addition, notify the workshop, pick some skilled craftsmen to come out, and form several research and development groups, one group specializes in the study of new furniture that can bring convenience to people, one group specializes in how to improve the comfort of furniture, and a group specializes in creating consumable toys for children to play, the product should be new, strange, comfortable, practical, fun, and comprehensive······"

Sun Xiangfu said that it was three poles in the sun, and then led Xi Junmai and Zhao Long to the direction of the imperial city, I believe that Jin gave Sun Xiangfu this education, as long as the two people in charge of management understand half of what he said, the business of Supreme Leather and Imperial Furniture will be on the right track.

Leaving Xi Junmai and Zhao Long to drink tea in their own yamen, Sun Xiangfu went to the harem with his palace waist card.

"Wechen greets Your Majesty, Queen."

In the Lizheng Palace, Empress Changsun was having breakfast with Li Shimin, Sun Xiangfu came, and the two of them didn't stop.

"Say it! What do you want to do in shipbuilding? ”

"Well, didn't Your Majesty ask Weichen to read more books earlier, so in addition to farming, Weichen has not been idle during this time, and has read a lot of books, especially the history of the Han Dynasty, among which there is one point that Weichen is very puzzled about, that is, why Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty attacked the wild land of Jiaozhi at any cost, and he remembered it in his heart when he couldn't figure it out for a while.

Recently, the minister heard a Hu merchant diner in Wangjianglou said, there is a kind of rice in Jiaozhi, the ears grow and the grain is many and drought tolerant, and it can produce several seasons a year, and the people of Jiaozhi do not need to farm at all, and the grain in the field is so much that they can't eat it all. Sun Xiangfu thought about it before he said.

"Nonsense, you called Yang Shunshui, an old shipwright in Lantian County, to start building ships last year, and you weren't an official at that time! The book you read, how dare you lie and deceive? Li Shimin slapped his chopsticks angrily.

"Well, of course, Weichen built ships for fishing at that time! At that time, I thought that there were more fish in the Wei River than in the small river in front of the village, because the Wei River was bigger than the small river, and the sea was countless times larger than the Wei River, and the fish in it must be countless times more than the fish in the Wei River, so I ······"

Li Shimin almost couldn't hold back when he heard this, and said with a smile, "You kid would think that fishing at sea is not an easy task, if you are not careful, even people and boats will be swept away by the wind and waves, are you so afraid of death, dare to go to sea?" ”

"Weichen didn't dare before, he just wanted to send a few fishermen to do it, but now he dares, Your Majesty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty played Jiaozhi for food, Jiaozhi has a very short growth cycle, and it can mature in two months, and Weichen wants to introduce it to Datang."

Hearing this, Li Shimin smiled again and pointed at Sun Xiangfu and said, "The end is unlearned, that is, I have read the history of the Han Dynasty and know that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty attacked Jiaozhi, why can't I think that those grains can only grow well in Jiaozhi when the climate is warm all year round, if it is useful to introduce the Central Plains, why does Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty need to work hard and spend a lot of troops in a wild place." ”

"Your Majesty, in fact, there are many places in Datang with warm climates all year round, such as Lingnan and Yazhou." Sun Xiangfu reminded.

With the water conservancy situation of the Han Dynasty, it is strange how much water can be used to irrigate the land in the north, at that time Lingnan was called the land of the Southern Barbarians, which was actually managed by the King of Yue, that is, the Jiangnan region, which was not as developed as it is now, and the population was sparse, it was after the continuous suppression of ethnic minorities by the Soochow regime of the Three Kingdoms and the implementation of Han culture for decades, and the politics and people's livelihood were stabilized and became a habitable place for the Han people. This rice is a bit of a chicken rib for him.

But now, all right! As soon as Sun Xiangfu mentioned Lingnan, Li Shimin's brows furrowed, he really didn't think that Lingnan was so important before.

"There may be a rebellion in Lingnan, do you dare to go there?" Li Shimin was silent for a long time, and suddenly spoke.

"Well, the minister is not even afraid of the sea, why is he afraid of a rebellion, and besides, didn't Your Majesty say it, maybe it's just that, and there is not really a rebellion." Sun Xiangfu said with a righteous and awe-inspiring look.

He is very sure that there will be no major rebellion in Lingnan, because the film and television dramas of later generations have basically not mentioned it, even if there is a rebellion, will he not avoid it?

With the current level of shipbuilding, he does not think that there will be a ship on the sea that can run faster than the five-pole hydro ship he designed and built.

"It's rare to see the word integrity from your kid, since you are going to sea, then take the way to help me go to Lingnan to make a front stop."

All right! Sun Xiangfu was sure that Li Shimin's mind was still not on Zhancheng Dao, and he thought that the former Han Dynasty had vetoed it, so there must be some defect in this thing, an ancient scholar! I like to learn from history the most.

"Your Majesty, please instruct, as long as Weichen's little arms and legs can cope with it, he will definitely die." Sun Xiangfu said helplessly.

"Help me send some wealth and new farm tools to Lingnan and see how Feng Ang reacts."

The existing new farm tools of the Ministry of Industry are mainly curved plows and waterwheels, which are still designed by Sun Xiangfu! However, Lingnan is mountainous, the barbarians are good at hunting, and their farming skills are inferior to those of the Han people, and these two things are scarce for them.

"Well, it's a gift! This micro-minister is in the line, according to the minister's opinion, the products of the supreme leather goods, the products of the royal court's furniture, in fact, can send some ······ to Chief Feng"

"Shut up, boy, I'm a reward." When Li Shimin heard this, he started a real fire again and interrupted Sun Xiangfudao.

He is a dignified emperor, when he needs to give gifts to his subordinates to curry favor, the problem of face must not be compromised.

"Oh yes, it's a reward, now there are a lot of stocks of Supreme Leather and Imperial Furniture, and production is still expanding day by day, Your Majesty should reward the ministers more." When Sun Xiangfu heard this, he changed his smile embarrassedly.

"Why should I reward the ministers for nothing?" When Li Shimin saw Sun Xiangfu's face, he knew that there was something inside.
