Chapter 585: Two Cuixiang Buildings in Chang'an
Cuixiang Lou has two branches in Chang'an, one is located near the Bell and Drum Tower, and is one of the most upscale liquor stores. Although it has only been open for a year, the business is the envy of the nearby liquor stores. This is the best location, but also the most prosperous area, the taste and grade of Cuixiang Building, so that the dignitaries who come here to consume feel that they have all the status.
But anyone who eats in the Bell and Drum Tower, Cuixiang Building, and those who don't have a thousand stones are embarrassed to go in. Of course, you don't have a thousand stones, and you can't afford to spend it when you go in. This Cuixiang Building is like a high-end membership club in later generations, and being able to mingle in this kind of circle is a kind of life in itself.
Cui Chengru personally sat in the Bell and Drum Tower, Cuixiang Building, the ability to be well-informed on all sides and the backstage of the Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce, Cui Chengru felt that this was the result of his lifelong efforts. If you have nothing to do, take a pot of wine and toast a few glasses to a few familiar regulars, and many things will come out naturally.
Seeing Cui Chengru coming over with a wine jug, Dr. Wang Chao hurriedly beckoned: "Shopkeeper Cui, come on, why are you still here?" ”
Cui Chengru accompanied the smiling face: "The villain is a businessman, this Cuixiang Building is the villain's life, where can it be if it is not here, the middle doctor came to tease the villain again." ”
Wang Chao said with a smile, and turned his face to Zhu Maichen and Bian Channel, who were at the same table: "It is said that businessmen seek profit, you see, there is such a big thing in the backstage of the shopkeeper Cui, and he will not go to visit him, I said that Shopkeeper Cui, your character is not very good!" ”
Cui Chengru smiled: "As Doctor Zhong said, I am a businessman, as long as it has nothing to do with me, I will never ask." ”
Zhu Maichen nodded: "That's right, if you don't touch your own place, it's best not to interfere, Shopkeeper Cui is a smart person, who is Su Zhonglang?" That's a great contribution to my Han, I just returned to Chang'an and suddenly suffered such an accident, not to mention anything else, those who dare to do this are not ordinary people. ”
"I know it, don't say it! Come on, the villain pours wine for the gentlemen! Cui Chengru interrupted Zhu Maichen's emotion, with Lao Cui's eyes, how could he not see that these three people had a few catties and taels, and the purpose of saying these words was definitely not opportunism and schadenfreude.
After drinking a few glasses of wine, Cui Chengru said goodbye. When Cui Chengru turned around, Wang Chao smiled: "It's been three days, and Su Ren hasn't moved at all, this is not like Su Ren." ”
"I'm afraid it's the emperor who doesn't like Su Ren! I heard that after the banquet that day, His Majesty left Su Ren behind and talked for a long time! "Edge channel.
Zhu Maichen picked up the wine: "This matter has nothing to do with us, it's useless to say more!" ”
"How can it have nothing to do with us? Su Ren has always been at odds with Zhuang Yushi, we can have today's position, thanks to Zhuang Yushi's support, since there is such a good reason, why not come and push the boat? ”
"What do you want to do?" Zhu Maichen hurriedly asked.
Wang Chao smiled: "I don't care about it blatantly, it's still okay to kill people with a knife." ”
"How to borrow the law?"
Wang Chao smiled without saying a word, glanced back at Cui Chengru, and smiled: "This is not the place to talk. ”
In addition to the three in Chang'an, there are many people in the whole building who are talking about this matter, and they all know the unusual relationship between Cui Chengru and Su Ren. Concerned, there are inquiries, there are inquiries, and naturally there are also people watching the fire from the other side. After a circle, I drank a lot of wine, and I saw a lot of people, and there were really few people who were really worried about Su Ren.
Su Ren's official reputation in Chang'an is not good, first of all, because he offended the eldest princess Liu Yan, who is a close confidant of the emperor, but he can't withstand the residual power of the eldest princess. Second, Su Ren is too young, and many people who have worked hard in officialdom all their lives are waiting for promotion, but when they suddenly look up, they see a child sitting on top of him, maybe he will never touch the child's feet in his life, you say it makes people angry. The most important point is that Su Ren has made a miraculous achievement this time, and those who hope that Su Ren will be unlucky hold a grudge against this, and those who are dissatisfied with Su Ren feel that Su Ren is going to be promoted again, and his life is completely gone, so he is even more unhappy.
Drunkenly threw the wine jug on the counter, Cui Chengru greeted and went to the backyard, he wanted to tell Su Ren about the situation here, so many people are not friendly, it is not a good thing, as a businessman, he knows very well, but if he is isolated by everyone, the result will be very miserable.
The second Cuixiang Building in Chang'an City is opened between the East and West Cities, different from the Cuixiang Building of the Bell Tower, the decoration here is much simpler, and the mottled wall skin can lift off the soil when the wind blows, but here it is more lively than there, a few feet away, even under the influence of the noisy East and West Two Cities, you can still hear the shouts one after another inside.
Here's a voice: "Man, where's my wine?" Don't mix with water, it's fucking tasteless with water! ”
On the other side: "Braised pork, what Lao Tzu wants is braised pork, this mutton is fine, but it's too expensive, we can't afford it!" ”
At the gate: "Oh, brother, you're finally here, I've been waiting for you for a long time, and I've gained weight again after a few days!" ”
Outside the back kitchen: "Boiled pork slices, mapo tofu, come ......!" ”
This is Su Ren's business philosophy, he hopes that everyone can taste the food he made, the rich and powerful like to be slaughtered to the bell tower, and those who have no money eat the same here, and the quantity is large and the price is good. Su Ren looked down on those who sold luxury goods in later generations, and the results of hunger marketing and momentum marketing would not be too good in the end. People like rice and mobile phones, who don't die if they don't die, are purely in the water.
Su Ren also likes to come to this kind of noisy place, he used to be a small person, not to mention high-end clubs, and he hasn't even been to a high-end hotel a few times, and he feels like home when he walks here. Sitting quietly in the corner, a plate of dried tofu, a pot of low-alcohol wine, and Sima Xiangru, Han Qing, and the main father Yan, it is very good to feel the suffering of the people.
Sima Xiangru doesn't matter, the master's father is unnatural, although he knows that Su Ren is a businessman, but now he is also a big official, and it is not very suitable to squeeze in a group of businessmen and untouchables like this. But the master father is a smart man, and he thinks so in his heart, but the expression on his face is like.
Han Qing drank a glass of wine: "I didn't expect Cuixiang Building to be like this?" It's an eye-opener for the next! ”
"In fact, the daily income here is not less than that of the Bell and Drum Tower, the price is cheap, and there are many people! The banquet of the official is endless, the store of the Bell and Drum Tower, the daily reception of 100 people is already a lot, and here people come and go, and close to the east and west two cities, not to mention there are three or four thousand people, in addition to rent, taxes, wear and tear, etc., at the end of the year, it will be more than the shop of the Bell and Drum Tower! ”
"Won't it?" The master father glared: "There are ordinary people coming and going here, how much money can they have?" ”
Su Ren said with a smile: "Don't underestimate the power of the people, Xun Ziyun, the people are the water, the king is the boat, the water can carry the boat and the boat can overturn, the people seem to be small, but the power is very great, as long as it is used properly, it is the power of the earth-shattering, and the death of the country in the past dynasties has nothing to do with the people?" Don't think that only those heroes can turn their hands into clouds and their hands into rain! ”
"That's true!" Han Qingdao: "The battle of Muye, if it weren't for the tens of thousands of slaves of the Shang Dynasty, the Martial King's attack would not have been so smooth!" Qin's tyranny, the world will fight together, otherwise the tyranny Qin would not die so quickly! ”
The master father frowned: "Sir's plan is to use these people. ”
Su Ren did not hide it, nodded and said: "Not only to use the people, but also to coerce the public opinion, only if the people feel that we are justified can we respond!" ”
The master father hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is there to do this......"
"Don't worry, I have already told Your Majesty about this matter, and Your Majesty has agreed, and appointed Brother Sima as a doctor to be in charge of this matter!" Su Ren glanced at the master's father: "I also recommended you, Your Majesty also agreed, the holy decree to make you sacrificial wine will come tomorrow, I advise the two of you, this thing looks inconspicuous now, and when it grows stronger, the world will be in turmoil if there is a little problem!" Be careful! ”
As soon as the master father heard that he had made sacrificial wine, although the official position was not big, he heard that Su Ren meant that the emperor personally sealed it, which means that he was named in front of the emperor, as long as he did things well, he did not worry about not adding officials to the knighthood. immediately got up and gave Su Ren a deep salute: "Mr. Xie!" ”
Sima Xiangru said: "It's useless to say thank you, our gentleman pays attention to interests, you invite this meal!" ”
"Ugh!" The master father was stunned for a moment, and then smiled and said: "I please, not only today, but tomorrow!" ”
There are several advantages to talking about things here, first of all, there are Huang Thirteen and Manniu on the side, even if someone wants to eavesdrop, they can see it at a glance. Secondly, if the partition wall has ears, it is strange that it can be heard in such a noisy environment. Why do you want to come here, this is Su Ren's proposal, Dong Qian and Leng Yue were assassinated before there were two fewer people in the house, Su Ren has not been in Chang'an for more than a year, and the population in his family has increased a lot, and there are no other people's eyes and ears or spies who don't know, Su Ren is unwilling to take this risk.
After everyone finished laughing, Su Ren gave Huang Shisan and Manniu a wink, and the two nodded, turned their backs to the table, and looked around vigilantly. Several other people also knew that Su Ren was going to get down to business, so they hurriedly put away their smiling faces and put down their wine glasses.
"Sir, please speak, I'll listen to you!"
"I don't need to hear it, it's just a preliminary idea, if you want to grasp the public opinion, you have to figure it out with the people, think about it, let me think of a way, that is, to make a fuss in the Di newspaper!" Su Ren took a sip of water: "The usual Di Bao only writes edicts, but I want to say that this Di Bao has to write all kinds of things, edicts, resignations, biographies, as long as everything that meets the requirements can be attached, and even if the merchant wants to promote his goods, he can write it!" ”
"Naturally, this kind of newspaper is not only sent to various prefectures and counties, but our newspaper is attached wherever there are people, so I am going to change the name of this newspaper, and I am going to call it "Dahan Daily", everything that is beneficial to Dahan can be written, so that ordinary people can also know the imperial court policies, customs, and even market conditions!"
"How much does it cost? If you make a newspaper according to what Mr. said, I am afraid that it will not cost less than 10,000 yuan for silk alone, and there will be a big Han newspaper where there are people in the world, how much does it cost? "The master father is so financially savvy.
"Don't worry about money, silk naturally can't be used, that thing is too expensive to do this."
"With bamboo slips? That can't be sent far away. ”
"Use paper!"
