If you want to be rich and rich, you can't do it without a little courage and sacrifice, for example, Qi Yu If he wants to make the grocery store bigger and stronger, and develop into the largest retail giant in the 17th century, he must have a certain amount of courage. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

In order to develop into a retail giant, he deliberately changed the name of the grocery store to the more apt and somewhat wicked Vanguard.

On the day of the official opening of China Resources Vanguard, this guy invited almost all the people in Australia to attend the opening ceremony, in order to stimulate consumption, he also made a lot of painstaking efforts, and all the people who participated in the opening ceremony received a 100 yuan supermarket shopping discount coupon provided by China Resources Vanguard.

Although the face value is quite large, he is very shrewd to exchange the 100 yuan coupon for 5 yuan and 10 yuan small denomination tickets, and it is also marked with the shopping time and use process, and each purchase can only be deducted with one shopping coupon.

The minimum price of things in the grocery store is also 15 yuan, and there are no goods under 10 yuan, so you have to pay a part of the money to use this shopping coupon.

Although his shopping voucher consumption method seems to give customers a certain discount, it is actually to learn the ideas of promotional activities in various supermarkets in later generations, and use customers' minds to take advantage of urine and consume more.

I can see it at a glance, but it's really a bit of a waste to put the shopping coupons there, and if you don't want to waste it, you have to consume, so on the opening day, his grocery sales were extremely hot, and even when he settled the accounts at night, he didn't jump down, and the sales of one day actually caught up with that of January, close to two thousand yuan of sales income, which made him more sure of the internal market demand.

It's still a consumption that travels through the crowd, and if you count the new immigrants, it's not more.

After convincing the committee members to open a new route, after some preparations, he and some members of the shipbuilding team such as Lin Wendong began a test tour of the steam sailing ship, and the purpose of this voyage was Batavia.

Batavia, Australians have been to a few times, but they have not set this place as the main trade object, one is mainly because the market here is limited, Australia does not have many goods in hand, and there are not many other transactions with the merchants here, so naturally every time in addition to purchasing a batch of daily necessities here when returning home, Australian goods are not sold here.

Compared with the Daming market, Batavia is indeed too small, which is not looked down upon by an official team like the trade team, but this does not mean that private businessmen like Qi Yu will also look down on it, although the market is small, it is also profitable, there is no reason not to let it go here, so he plans to take over the market here.

Taking advantage of his status as a grocery store entrepreneur, he paid a batch of fine glass products on credit from the state-owned glass factory and arrived in Batavia with the Yangtze River No. 1.

In fact, for the Netherlands in Batavia, they have always been curious, why the Australians are not selling mirrors and glasses and other utensils like them, and even the governor Van Dimen, who had doubts at the beginning, is also very curious, Australians are not active in Batavia now, and even go ashore to buy, why is this.

If he knew that Australia simply didn't have so many goods to trade with Batavia, he would have figured it out, after all, to satisfy the Ming market, he had to give up some small share of the market.

The main reason why Qi Yu was able to get the glass this time was because the technology was quite mature and there was a certain amount of inventory, so the talent from the state-owned glass factory decided to give him the goods.

The Yangtze River No. 1 is a Western-style ship with a capacity of only 500 tons, although it is not large, but it is still possible to carry out ocean voyages, and most of the Spaniards and Dutch have relied on this small boat to start their trade and colonization history.

Unlike them, the Yangtze River 1 is powered by a steam engine, which can sail around the globe as long as there is enough coal.

Lin Wendong has not thought about the circumnavigation at present, what he has to do is to test the performance of the steam engine on the Yangtze River No. 1 and how long it can run without failure.

Trouble-free operation time is an important indicator of navigation safety, so rigorous testing is necessary, and if the test is successful, he will start building a new steam schooner based on the Yangtze River No. 1 on a large scale.

In order to avoid excessive coal consumption, Lin Wendong ordered that the sails of the ship must be raised, and in the case of a tailwind, the steam engine should be stopped, and the wind power should be used to propel the ship forward, so that it could sail to Batavia even without coal.

However, for the sake of safety, this time the Yangtze River No. 1 cabin contained enough coal to drive to Batavia.

To say that Lin Wendong actually didn't have much friendship with Qi Yu, if he hadn't taken the initiative to come to the door this time, the two of them might not even have said a few words in the base.

I don't know much about Qi Yu, Lin Wendong, and the same thing is that Qi Yu doesn't know much about him.

The two of them stood on the bow deck, facing the sea breeze, looking at the waves ahead, Lin Wendong spoke: "Anyway, you are not afraid that there is a problem with this ship, others are not willing to come when they hear about the test ship, you are good, take the initiative to let me test the ship, and follow the sea, this rich and dangerous is used here for you." ”

"Hey, since ancient times, wealth needs to be in danger, I'm saying that I know you will be on the same boat, even if you don't care about other people's lives, you definitely won't be able to, so I think there is still a certain guarantee to follow you out, how about it, when this trial is successful, how about our grocery store order a steamboat like you."

After sailing on the sea for three days, Qi Yu also saw that there should be no big problem with this steamship, so he was ready to use this opportunity to get a good relationship with Lin Wendong and see if he could get a ship at a preferential price from him, which was quite important to his career.

"You want a boat, that's fine, but do you have the money?" Lin Wendong is very straightforward, he doesn't believe that Qi Yu, who took out a loan from the bank to start a supermarket, still has savings, although the price of a boat is not high, it is definitely tens of thousands of yuan.

"Money is not a problem, as long as you go to Batavia this time, I can pay you a deposit, can you promise me?"

The shipyard is state-owned, and Qi Yu is also skeptical about whether Lin Wendong can give him assurances.

"No, with money fully assured, there is no problem in building you a steam galleon with a capacity of 500 tons, because the requirements of the Navy and the trade team are ships with a larger transport volume, so theoretically I need a research grant for new ship research inputs."

"So we're a take-and-take, so let's just say." Qi Yu smiled and looked down on this Lin Wendong, and understood why he could guarantee it.
