After a few days of hurrying, Wang Laohu and his entourage came to Anqing. Anqing Mansion is a big mansion, and there is an outlet in Anqing Mansion that has its own Bian Yifang, so Wang Laohu plans to stay in Anqing Mansion for a night.

When Wang Laohu arrived at Anqing Mansion, it was noon, Wang Laohu arranged the inn, had lunch, and went to Bian Yifang's outlet with Wang Qingqing and Wang Biao, two personal guards, which should have been open for more than half a year. Walking on the streets of Anqing, you can see people wearing Bian Yifang clothes like Wang Qingqing from time to time, which shows that the business of Bian Yifang here is good.

Wang Laohu asked the locals according to the address they had when they joined, and soon found Bian Yifang. The geographical location of the Anqing Bian Yifang store is also open in a place with a large flow of people, and the three big characters of "Bian Yifang" at the door of the store are the same as those of Hangzhou, and they are also written by Xue Susu, a calligraphy and painting master in Hangzhou.

Wang Laohu entered the store, and it was the same as what he thought, and the decoration inside was very kind, which was the same as that of Hangzhou City. As soon as Wang Laohu entered the store, a female clerk stepped forward to greet him: "This son, what do you look at the clothes?" ”

Wang Laohu expressed satisfaction with such salutation and service: "You are right, I will pick out a dress for the girl next to me." ”

"Childe, you have come to the right place, you see that she is wearing our Bian Yifang's clothes, and our Bian Yifang's clothes are noble. This girl, please, I will accompany you to see the clothes. The female clerk said.

The female clerks in this outlet are well trained. Seeing that the store is full of people coming and going, and the business is also good, the clothes in Bian Yifang are so popular, Wang Laohu is very happy. Looking at the clothes in Bian Yifang, they are new styles that have just been delivered, indicating that the dart team on the Western Front has passed Anqing.

Qingqing worked in Bian Yifang in Hangzhou for a while, and she knew about Bian Yifang's business, so Wang Laohu brought her here. After a while, Qingqing returned to Wang Laohu's side, "Childe, the business here is basically okay, but the pricing is not in accordance with our requirements." ”

"Is the pricing set high or low?" Wang Laohu asked. The dresses sold by Bian Yifang are labeled, and this outlet is required to sell them in strict accordance with the above prices. Wang Laohu followed Qingqing to the female clerk and said to the female clerk: "Miss Qingqing likes this dress very much, but I heard that there is something wrong with the price." ”

"Childe, these dresses are designed and made by famous artists, and the price must not be cheap, after you buy it, you will not regret it."

"It's not cheap, there's no problem, but this label doesn't match what you said." Wang Laohu reminded.

"No one has ever said anything about this label, and we have always sold it at our own price." The female clerk explained.

All the while? This problem is serious, Bian Yifang made it very clear when the dealer or outlet joined, the price must be unified, and this Anqing did raise the price without authorization in order to make a profit, which is dishonest business behavior, which will inevitably affect the reputation of the Bian Yifang brand. "I want to see your treasurer."

"Why does Childe want to see our shopkeeper?" The female clerk asked.

"We'll know when he sees him." Wang Laohu said.

"If Childe wants to talk about the price, I think I'm still dead." The female clerk said.

"I do want to talk about this price, this matter is very serious, please ask the shopkeeper to come out." Wang Laohu said again.

Under Wang Laohu's repeated requests, the female clerk invited out of the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper saw Wang Laohu, he didn't know him, so he didn't put it in his eyes, but when he saw Wang Qingqing, he was stunned, when he was in Hangzhou, he had seen Wang Qingqing, she was Bian Yifang's person, the shopkeeper was dumbfounded, and he also understood why he wanted him to come out.

"It turned out to be the shopkeeper of Qingqing, you came to Anqing, why don't you say anything, I will send someone to pick you up." The shopkeeper said politely.

"It's good that we're here, otherwise we wouldn't have known you're doing these things." Qingqing said, "Not only am I here today, but our big shopkeeper of Bian Yifang is also here." ”

"The big shopkeeper?" When I was in Hangzhou, the shopkeeper heard that the big shopkeeper of Bian Yifang was Wang Laohu Wang Gongzi, could it be that the man standing in front of him was Wang Gongzi. He hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, shopkeeper Wang, I really don't know Mount Tai, it's rude, it's rude." ”

"There's a lot of people here, so let's talk privately." Wang Laohu and the shopkeeper entered the inner hall.

"I came to Anqing mainly to see the situation of Bian Yifang dealers, when I joined, we asked you to do it strictly according to what we said, in your place, why has it changed!" Wang Laohu said.

"Big shopkeeper, I can't afford it, I'm sorry, I'll never do it again next time." The way of the shopkeeper.

"It's not a small thing for you to do this, it's tied to our brand reputation, and dresses that were previously sold must be refunded the difference in price and promised not to be repeated in the future." Wang Laohu said.

"The difference in price will be refunded in the previous one?" The shopkeeper is embarrassed.

"Yes, the previous one must be returned. To join Bian Yifang, you must abide by the rules of Bian Yifang. Our headquarters has the rules of the headquarters, and your dealers also have their own rules, and they can't be offside. ”

"The lesson of the big shopkeeper is that I will rectify it immediately and promise not to do it again."

"If only you could think like that, you know the consequences of committing it again."

"I know, I know, if I do it again, my dealer will be cancelled, and I will never be allowed to join Bian Yifang again." The shopkeeper said, "Big shopkeeper, you and Qingqing's shopkeeper are rare to come, just let me be a host, I invite everyone to eat in Sanxiao Building, and by the way, please watch a show." ”

"Eating is free, but I'm still more interested in watching a play, since I was a child, I haven't been to the field to watch a play? I wonder what kind of play is going on here? Wang Laohu asked.

"It's our local drama tea-picking tune, and tonight's performance is "Dong Yong's Selling Body".

Tea picking? Wang Laohu remembered that this tea-picking tune was the predecessor of Huangmei Opera, Huangmei Opera originated in Hubei, but its development was in Anqing, and he was more interested in watching such a play.

After dinner in the inn, Wang Laohu invited Feng Liuer and Wang Qingqing to go to the play together, Feng Liuer studied literature and martial arts, and did not exclude this opera, Wang Qingqing is a person who learns martial arts, although he doesn't like this opera, but in order to be with Wang Laohu, he also agreed to go together. Together with Wang Biao, a group of six personal guards went to the stage to watch the play. The opera atmosphere in Anqing is relatively good, and I heard that there are several small troupes in this folk.

According to the introduction of the shopkeeper of Bian Yifang, Wang Laohu and his entourage came to Qingfeng Caotai. Qingfeng grass stage is a relatively high-grade stage, the local rich and noble families and officials will come here to watch the drama, to go to the stage here not only to sing well, but also to have a certain relationship. However, Anqing has also introduced some good measures to encourage the development of opera, such as giving some small folk troupes the opportunity to develop, so this has given some small troupes the opportunity to appear on the stage.

Wang Laohu walked into the grass platform, looked around, the stage here is wide, in front of a boxy stage, there are a few clusters of flowers in front of the stage, and then there is the audience's stand, the front row is a few boxy Taishi chairs, two by two, there is a coffee table in the middle, for the guests to place tea, there are five pairs of such elegant seats, the rear one is relatively ordinary, it is a general bench. In the corner of the first floor, there is also a wooden staircase, which can go straight to the second floor, and the position on the second floor looks like a private room, although it is a little farther away from the front row on the first floor, but it is condescending, and it has a unique flavor to look at.

Not long after Wang Laohu entered the stage, the shopkeeper of Anqing Bian Yifang greeted him with a smile, "The big shopkeeper, I have already booked a place for you." The shopkeeper of Bian Yifang welcomed Wang Laohu to the box on the second floor, where there were two tables. Wang Laohu was not polite, so he sat down, and the shopkeeper of Bian Yifang said: "I could have watched the play with the big shopkeeper, but I still have something to do tonight, so I won't accompany the big shopkeeper and his wife." ”

Wang Laohu thanked him, this shopkeeper can be regarded as a good person and knows how to please Wang Laohu. Waiting for the shopkeeper to leave, Feng Liuer and Wang Laohu had a table, and Wang Qingqing had a table. Wang Biao and his personal guards stood behind him. From the second floor, you can see not only the stage, but also the entire theater.

It seems that the private room on the second floor is the best location.
