Chapter 24: On Business

The two then discussed the details of the shares, and Sister Feng got up to say goodbye.

Looking at Sister Feng's swaying and graceful back, Fang Zheng couldn't help but swallow her saliva, this girl, how talented it is to be a female shopkeeper, being a fox spirit is her strength.

It wasn't until Sister Feng's back was no longer visible that Fang Zheng reluctantly withdrew his gaze, turned around and said loudly: "Little green, little green!" Hurry up! Change my clothes, I want to see my dad. ”

"No need, the old man has already come." Old Man Fang stroked his long beard and appeared in front of Fang Zheng.

"Wow! Dad, your old man is faster than Cao Cao......"

"Who is Cao Cao?"

"Well, he's a long-distance runner who has won a lot of awards, but he is not very reasonable, and he often hijacks the referee to force him to blow a black whistle......" Fang Zheng rolled his eyes and said nonsense. Since the Han Dynasty is gone, of course the Eastern Han Dynasty is not, the wind and clouds are surging, and the Three Kingdoms with many heroes will not be there, and Master Fang doesn't know that Cao Cao is normal.

"Dad, what a coincidence, you have been outside the door just now?" Fang Zheng was worried in his heart, didn't let the old man see the scene of eating Sister Feng's tofu?

"Well, your mother heard that a woman came to look for you and asked the old man to come and have a look." Master Fang blushed a little, his son is eighteen years old, and he is not married, this is the second elder's heart disease, as soon as he heard that a woman came to look for him, Mrs. Fang immediately asked the old man to come over to inquire about the news.

"Just now you heard the conversation with that woman, the old man has heard it, I have to say, Zheng'er, you have grown up and become sensible, this matter has been done very well, wonderful, wonderful!"

Master Fang stroked his long beard and smiled with satisfaction, his son is the same day by day, more and more satisfied with him, and constantly surprises him, today talking about business with the woman, Master Fang asked himself, even he couldn't imagine that a business has so much knowledge, and even a word has to be converted into silver and counted in the shares, how could Master Fang ever think about the problem from this angle?

"However, the old man wants to ask you, Ruyu Zhai is just a small shop that sells fat powder, why do you want to make such a big fanfare? It's true that this industry can make money, but it doesn't make too much, right? Which one under my family's name is not as profitable as Yuzhai? ”

I don't want to earn some pocket money, how can I be as generous as you. Fang Zheng rolled his eyes at the sky.

"Dad, in fact, women's fat powder can make a lot of money, but those fat powder stores didn't use their hearts and lost many customers."

"Oh? Let's talk about it. Master Fang was interested, his son was becoming more and more difficult, and he was sincerely pleased.

"First of all, they don't sell things in the right way. Since you want to make other people's money, you have to take the initiative, such as occasionally going to the street to set up a table to do publicity, pulling a banner to advertise, and making a big promotion during the New Year's holidays, etc., these are all ways to attract customers, so that more customers know that there are things they need in this store. Not only the fat powder shop, in fact, other shops under our name, such as silk and satin village, pen and ink shop, restaurant, etc., can be tried,—— of course, shroud shop and coffin shop can be an exception, but anyone who can breathe, that thing will not be given to people for nothing. ”

"You ......" Master Fang originally heard the brilliance in his eyes, but unexpectedly, this unobtrusive son finally said such a sentence, which made Master Fang cry and laugh.

"Also, you need to categorize your customers. Women, whether they are rich or not, beautiful or ugly, love to be beautiful. The difference is that some people can afford high-end things, and some people can only afford low-end things, which has to be sold according to the person. They are divided into two customer groups: high-end and low-end. As the saying goes, you get what you pay for, if you can afford to spend money, we will provide you with good goods, and it doesn't matter if you can't afford to spend money, we will reduce the cost of things and sell them to others with less money. ”

"Actually, the main thing is that the fat powder store ignores a large customer base." Speaking of this, Fang Zheng paused and glanced at his father carefully.

Seeing his father's eyes staring brightly, waiting for him to finish speaking, Fang Zheng swallowed his saliva and said, "That, the most important customer group of the fat powder shop is the ...... in the brothel of the Qinglou Well, what ...... then?"

"Are you saying that the girls in Qinglou are the biggest customers? Why? Old Man Fang frowned and asked.

"What is the most famous thing about our Jinling City? Of course, it's the Qinglou painting boat in Qinhuai for ten miles, the child calculated, there are now nearly 100 painting boats in Qinhuai River, which are different in size and scale, plus the brothels that are opened in Dagongfang, Flower Market, and Nanmen Street, roughly estimated, the young lady in the entire Jinling City, uh, wrong, it's a girl, there should be four thousand......"

Secretly observed his father's expression, and found that he was still frowning, but there was no sign of anger between his expressions, so he continued with confidence: "Rouge gouache is a consumable, oh, the consumable means, use a little less, and you have to buy it again when you run out, unlike the tables and chairs at home, which can be used for many years." These girls do, well, service work, and in order to please their customers, they have to dress themselves up every day, and their consumption of fat powder is huge, and a large part of the money they earn is used to buy fat powder. ”

"Four thousand girls, even if each person only spends fifty taels of silver per month to buy fat powder, we have a monthly turnover of 200,000 taels, uh, the turnover doesn't understand? Even if the cost is removed, the monthly net profit is at least 1780,000 taels, Dad, this income is not small. ”

Master Fang closed his eyes and groaned, his fingers kept drawing circles on the armrests of the Taishi chair, as if he was silently calculating whether his son's words were wrong, after a long time, Master Fang opened his eyes, frowned and said, "My son is good, well, this deal has indeed been done." It's just that it's ...... to do those businesses that sell jokes and sell women, and spread the word."

Fang Zheng said with a smile: "Dad, we are businessmen, businessmen value profits, others have money to buy, we have things to sell, this is called trading, as for who buys things, high or low status, then it is not something we should worry about." ”

After thinking about it, Fang Zheng added: "You can't discriminate against other girls just because they are in the dust, chickens, there are also patriotic......"

"You bastard, can you say less witticisms? Why didn't the old man find out that you were so sharp before? Master Fang glanced at Fang Zheng angrily, and continued: "Except for the girl from the Qinglou, what about the other customers? That piece isn't small, what are you going to do? ”

Fang Zheng took a sip of tea from the cup, grandma's, it's not easy to make money, I haven't seen a child yet, and my saliva is almost dry.

"Other customers, the children divide them into three grades: high, medium and low, and the number of ordinary people who have little money left over on weekdays is the largest. They not only want to dress up beautifully, but also hope to buy fat powder is not expensive, we may as well lower the cost when making fat powder, set the price lower, and then sell it to them, small profits but quick turnover. ”

"The mid-range ones are those who are small and rich, they have money on hand, but not too much, they can't look at the ones that are too cheap, and they can't afford to buy those that are too expensive, so we only need to increase the cost a little, set the price a little higher, and do more publicity, and they will flock to it."

"The high-end ones are more troublesome, those palace officials, court ministers, and the ladies of the prince's family are not easy to see, but it's not completely impossible. We can ask the fat man for help. By the way, Dad, there's good news and bad news, which do you listen to first? ”

"Good news."

"The good news is that the fat man's sister is the one named Mi'er, and you and your mother will expect her to be your second elder's daughter-in-law in the future."

“…… That's bad news, right? So what's the bad news you're talking about? ”

"The bad news is that in the future, when the fat man comes to our house to eat, I don't dare to charge him for food, alas! That's really bad news......"

"What do you mean?"

"The fat man, that is Brother Zhou Wu, his real name is Zhou Wuxi, and he is the fourth prince of the Holy Heaven today, and he is the king of blessings. His sister Mi'er, the beloved daughter of the current saint, is named Princess Changping. Grandma's, they can really pretend to be pigs and eat tigers. ”

"What?" Old Man Fang was so shocked that he bounced up from his chair with an expression of disbelief: "King Fu? Princess Changping? ”

That young man who was white and fat, honest-looking, respectful to him, and sure to call him an uncle turned out to be His Royal Highness King Fu? And that cute and cute daughter-in-law candidate turned out to be Princess Changping?

Master Fang shook his head, still shocked in his heart: "Zheng'er, aren't you trying to be a father?" ”

"It's true! They're hiding themselves so deeply......"

…………

After some explanation, Master Fang finally believed in the identity of the fat brother and sister, he shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I can't think of it, I can't think of it, His Royal Highness King Fu still calls his uncle the old man, isn't this ......" Before he finished speaking, Master Fang stopped talking.

Fang Zheng knew what his father meant, isn't King Fu's uncle on par with the current emperor? The emperor has an extra buddy for nothing, I don't know if he will be angry......

Old Man Fang's face was worried: "Zheng'er, ...... to King Fu in the future" said and stopped again.

It's hard to say, after all, there are very few things for commoners to make friends with vassal kings, and I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse for ordinary people, even if the Fang family looks down on the business world, but the people are the princes, and there is an emperor above, one day the emperor feels unhappy, thinking that you, the common people, are restless, and you can make the Fang family doom at will, what's the use of more money? Not all of them belong to the treasury.

Besides, King Fu is good at the other party's house, every time he comes to Fang's house, the other party's lord and Mrs. Fang are very respectful, and they also bring some small gifts every once in a while, and the number of gifts for the children and nephews is completely done, so, what does Master Fang say?

"Dad, don't worry, the child is measured and won't cause trouble to our family." Fang Zheng said respectfully. He wasn't worried about the fat man's side, what he was worried about was the little bamboo shoots, well, he would be called Princess Changping in the future, and if he didn't cover his mouth, he would cause trouble for the Fang family.

Master Fang shook his head and sighed, if others befriended the king of the domain, I am afraid that they would be overjoyed and celebrate with their families, what a blessing it should be to be able to call the prince a brother and brother. But Master Fang is different, he knows very well that it is powerful, this matter is a double-edged sword, if you don't get it right, you will hurt yourself, is the vassal king so easy to befriend?

"Zheng'er, the affairs of the fat powder shop are in your sole charge, you can rest assured that you can do whatever you need Dad to do. Also, well, in the future, you have to help come up with ideas for everything in the shops under the name of the Fang family's firm, remember, these will be your own family property in the future, and you must not mess around with your temperament. ”

"Don't worry, Dad, the child will do his best."

Master Fang patted Fang Zheng's shoulder and said earnestly: "Zheng'er, you can't let your father down anymore, understand?" ”

Fang Zheng nodded vigorously, the people who disappointed you were your former son of a loser, I have never let you down.

"What's wrong with your face?" Before leaving, Master Fang suddenly turned around and asked.

"Huh?" Just now I promised not to disappoint my father, if I told him that I had a fight with someone yesterday, I am afraid that my father will not be able to spare him.

“…… I walked carelessly and hit a pillar. ”

"Hmph, the left side of the face is blue, the right face is red, and the collision is really even."

“…………”
