Chapter 391: This is also a business?

Liu Yi was very enthusiastic about this kind of thing, vacated a yard in the west of the city, summoned a large number of carpenters without difficulty, and built a neat row of four standard stalls in two days. Compared with Ye Tao's requirements, the conditions of this bunk seem to be slightly better. Each bunk is as small as eight feet wide and six feet deep. In addition to the display space on the street, there is also a place to store other goods, and there is even a folding bed that can be used by the small vendors who make their homes home. Liu also promised the vendors who were the first to agree to move to the new market that the collective dormitories for the vendors would be completed soon. Behind the shops, there are also dark alleys that are not open to the public, mainly so that the vendors can stack their goods inside, as well as the sundries that cannot be accommodated in the small shops. And the management rules of the dark alley have also been generated. In addition to not defecating in the open, there are more than 20 other regulations.

There are a total of 200 stalls in the four shops, and on the side of the market, Liu Yi also bought a small building to serve as the office of the future management body of the market. According to Ye Tao's idea, Liu also mobilized the spice merchants and condiment merchants who were most troubled in the chaotic bazaar to move to the new bazaar first. And this new bazaar was named by Ye Tao: Spicy Fragrance Hui. In this new bazaar, Liu Yi used a lot of brains. The location of Xinxianghui, as long as Ye Tao's Hengbo Port rectification plan does not have major problems, there should be no changes. This allowed him to lay out calmly, and not to adjust his inconsiderate places in the Spice Café and other markets in the future. But for now, it's a pretty good place. At least Spicy Spice has a full range of public facilities: a large public toilet. Moreover, it is the first father-in-law toilet ever to have a larger women's toilet than a men's toilet. Spice also employs dozens of cleaners who sprinkle and sweep every day, sweeping away trash from public spaces and storing things thrown out of vendors' shops. Nanyang's labor cost is outrageously low, this is to hire a cleaner, not to hire a farmer for the family, nor to soak here all day, there is a very strict standard of work. Basically, you can divide into two shifts, just change them every day, and do whatever you want the rest of the time. Liu also offered an all-inclusive package of food and lodging on weekdays, one tael of silver or a Yunzhou silver coin or equivalent per month, and hundreds of people came to apply. Liu Yi was stunned, but also laughed at Ye Tao's joke that their living standard in Nanyang was really low, and the old face didn't know where to go for a while, so he screened it fiercely, and picked out fifty "excellent employees" who had rich cleaning experience, most of which were "excellent employees" such as family members hired by those bankrupt businessmen before, and conveniently paid these people who were a little poor in life in advance, which attracted a thunderous cheer.

The newly moved vendors had to tidy up their shops before they could reopen, and the drainage ditch of Xinxianghui was still under active construction, but at this time, someone suddenly appeared and asked who had given Liu Yi such a good idea to make money...... Liu Yi was depressed now.

"Is this business?" Yu Yanhu, who is also an important figure in the Seven Seas Trading Company, has just opened the joints of Quanming Port from Chunnan and directly sent various goods purchased by Seven Seas Trading Company from Chunnan to Nanyang, greatly reducing logistics costs and turnaround time, Liu Yi asked depressedly. "You boss Yu also looks down on this kind of business? I don't really see where I can make money other than throwing so much money into it. ”

Looking at Liu Yi's angry appearance, Yu Yanhu said with a smile: "I said, old brother, I'm afraid it wasn't Ye Jingluo's idea for you, right?" ”

Liu Yi didn't deny it, but he thought about it carefully and said, "You make that matter clear first." ”

Yu Yanhu smiled and said, "We may not be able to look down on the business of this small vendor." At best, it's a bit of a weird way to get a small amount of things that we don't think are worth the effort. However, there are also outstanding merchants who start their own business from small vendors......

Liu Yi thought about it, and suddenly thought that Yu Yanhu followed his master to sell wontons in the streets and alleys when he was a child, and after the master returned to heaven, he opened a baked cake shop by himself, and since then he has started his legendary deeds, and snorted angrily and said, "You can praise yourself vigorously." ”

Yu Yanhu's face turned red and said, "That's not what I meant...... No matter how big or small the business is, there are two things that everyone cares about. First, whether the business is successful, and second, whether the money earned is guaranteed. This bazaar, don't look at the beginning, you have to keep throwing money into it, people don't want to come. But once you have a name and scale, you have to drill into it. Especially this kind of business, the more you gather, the easier it is to do it. It's true that shopping around is good for people who buy things, but it's also good for people who buy things. The means of doing business, the pricing strategy, the ability to attract customers, and the ability to find new selling points in the competition of similar products are all crucial. And the more people gathered, the more things to buy, we go to those markets, go to the auction house, and don't we often buy a lot of things that we don't need for some reason? These vendors rely on this money to support their families, unlike us, even if there is a shop in the corner, there are still people who come to the door. They also needed a place to gather their own traders. In addition, it is guaranteed. It turns out that the bazaar is really ...... It's so *** dirty, several times I've looked for some goods that can't be obtained elsewhere, and I'm looking for guys to go, but not many people are willing to drill into it. If the bazaar could be cleaned up, business would definitely be stronger than it is now. But we can't rely on the hawkers themselves, and if they unite to clean up the bazaar, then what they unite is definitely not the matter of rectifying the bazaar, then we should have a headache about how to deal with the union of these pervasive small merchants. But for now, the construction and rectification of the bazaar is in our hands. Don't look at investing money now, once you have a scale, you can rent out one by one, and there will be opportunities to make money. What's more, if you have a businessman, it is clear who has a good business and who has a strong character. We are not short of money now, nor are we short of contacts, with Ye Jinglu, all kinds of money-making transactions are coming non-stop, but what do we lack? There is a shortage of talent...... Not to mention that this kind of bazaar is still very likely to make money, even if it is only flat or slightly loss, you have to invest in the money...... We can manage the market well and do a good business, that is our ability, and it is also the basis for us to attract talents in the future. And those of them who can support themselves are at least, and if they do a good job, they may not be able to recruit to take care of our business. Back then, Her Royal Highness Princess Zhaohua made a move to open a shop that looked almost child's play, and from then to now, it still sold only so many things, no more than ten, but how majestic Sun Liang's old guy is now? There are shops in all cities in Dongping, and he finds a person who can take care of the branches, so he opens one, and the old guy has more than 400 shops, which is too scary...... What everyone lacks is talent.

Yu Yanhu's tirade made Liu Yi stunned for a moment. He reflected on Yu Yanhu's statement, nodded and said, "Sure enough." Looks like there's a real way to do that...... I've been out of business for a long time, and my brain is rusty. Thanks to your reminder...... It's just that Ye Jingluo is personally concerned about this comprehensive management matter now, so let's do it like this, with the idea of making money, right? ”

Yu Yanhu said with a big grin: "It's okay, you can rest assured." Ye Jingluo is now a big family, and he has no heart to earn this money. Moreover, Ye Jingluo's business is all carried forward in the hands of others. Although Ye Jingluo is a genius, as long as he is not short of money, he will not consider making money. Her Royal Highness Princess Zhaohua is indeed the God of Wealth, but people are people who have to worry about big things, so they don't have time to toss these small businesses. If you don't dare to do it, just leave it to me, and I'll go to Ye Jingluo to talk about it. ”

Liu Yi is not such a timid person, although he is a little unimpressed with Yu Yanhu's opinion that this is a small amount of money. But since there is such a person who is willing to talk to Ye Tao, what's so bad? Yu Yanhu has never talked to Ye Tao much, but all along, everyone and Ye Tao, such an easy-going person, have more or less business contacts and some correspondence. can introduce Yu Yanhu to Ye Tao and let him admit his personal feelings, Liu Yi is still very happy.

When Liu Yi and Yu Yanhu visited, Ye Tao and Tan Weixin were reviewing a series of important information that had just been sent to Nanyang, most of which was about the current situation in Xiling. Although they were low-key and forbearing, the chaos they caused in Xiling was still big enough, especially so that those secret scrolls of the former dynasty finally fell into the hands of the Xiling royal family, causing an uproar. The heated discussions between the government and the opposition have not stopped until now. Of course, there are people who summon spirits for the previous dynasty, but there are more people who try to get more benefits for Xiling and themselves from this incident. Those secret scrolls were hidden in the palace of the Xiling King, and it is said that no more than ten people could see them. Another important thing is that the lord of Xiling finally announced that the fourth princess and several others were killed in the bandit attack, and officially mourned the fourth princess. The temperament of the lord of Xiling is old and strong, and after the forbidden army sacrificed a large number of soldiers to thoroughly investigate the entire labyrinth, he still found the corpses of the guards who were tied up and starved to death, which was enough for him to deduce the fact that the princess was kidnapped. But he just wouldn't be threatened. On the one hand, he sent many elites in the forbidden army and royal guards to continue the investigation and pursuit, and the families of those gentlemen also sent people to pursue clues, but on the surface, they were all lost. Those few people don't exist at all...... What is more interesting is that in the death list, Lu Zhen and his wife are also impressively listed. It seems that until now, this young man who has left a deep and good impression in the hearts of many princes and nobles in Xiling is still being remembered.

This incident made Ye Tao more and more depressed.

At this time, when he suddenly heard that Yu Yanhu and Liu Yi actually wanted to commercialize the comprehensive management thing, Ye Tao was stunned and then laughed. And Tan Weixin also covered her mouth, looking at these two nimble old men, not knowing what she was thinking.
