Chapter 38 Ningxia Grain Store Opening (II)

The rice and white flour purchased from the system are 50 catties and 1 bag, and 1 stone is 120 catties, and the price is 2 taels and 4 yuan of silver per stone, which is 20 wen 1 catty, which is exactly every two silver bags of rice or 1 bag of white noodles. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info are sold in bags, do not open the bag, buy more than 20 bags to the warehouse to pick up the goods, buy zero can pick up the goods at the grain store.

At the time of its opening, LΓΌ Buqiang put 50 patrolling armies in charge of maintaining order.

A total of 4 sales counters were arranged, each counter had 1 junior merchant responsible for billing and collecting money, and 4 baggage soldiers were responsible for carrying grain; In the hall, 1 senior businessman with 2 middle-level businessmen will provide on-site commentary and Q&A services to customers; Next to it is the big customer room, there is Lu Buqian responsible for personally receiving, all of them are big customers with an annual purchase volume of more than 10,000 stones, otherwise it can be done by senior businessmen.

Because the price is 2 percent lower than the market price, it has attracted a large number of citizens to come to buy, the supply of goods prepared in the early stage is very sufficient, so there is no possibility of running out of stock, and the customers who buy more than 20 bags are horse-drawn carriages, so they will arrange for them to pick up the goods directly in the warehouse, and give certain discounts, so that both parties can accept it.

The grain market in Ningxia Province itself is not large, so at this price, there is no way for other grain stores to operate. Some of the grain stores also planned to teach the saboteurs, the new entrants who did not follow the rules, but after seeing the more than 50 strong soldiers maintaining order, they all dispelled this idea.

And some old stores that have been operating grain stores for many years are considering whether to reduce the price or wait for the grain stores to sell their inventory before opening themselves?

Lu Buqiang is not afraid of price competition, now this season, we also know that grain will be very expensive, many are sure that the price reduction of the grain store is for promotion, in order to attract new customers, and the promotion period will definitely increase the price, so most of the grain stores have chosen to wait and see, and customers are taking this opportunity to buy more.

In the morning, Feng Youcai and the Minister of Intelligence Liu Gui met and chatted for a while, this year the Mongolian cavalry came very much, and they were not afraid of death, so that many guards suffered heavy losses, especially Qingyun and Guyuan, a large number of displaced people have gone to Ningxia Mansion, the rich have gone to Xi'an, Ningxia Mansion's Yanchi and Lingwu side are also under fierce attack by the Mongols, but they have not broken through the border wall for the time being, if this is the case, something will happen sooner or later. At present, the general military officer transferred troops from Zhongwei and Zuotun Wei to assist in stationing in Yanchi and Lingwu. This year, the most stable thing is to keep the peace of the palace of the thousand households, and there is no large number of Mongolian cavalry to invade the border. Feng Youcai asked again why the reward has not come down yet, Liu Gui means that the chief military officer is busy now, how can he have the time and energy to think about these small things. Feng Youcai arranged for Liu Gui to build a grain store in Xi'an next year, and asked him to send someone to fight the front station first, and set up the intelligence station first, and if he needed money, he would just take it from Lu Buqiang. Liu Gui said that this is easy to do, and it can be done after the New Year.

In the afternoon, Feng Youcai and Zhang Yang had nothing to do, so they went to visit Ningxia Fucheng, which is a military town, where most of the troops and their families live, as well as some businessmen, and there are very few other personnel. Feng Youcai decided to wait until he went back this time to discuss with Lu Buqiang, as long as there is a military certificate, you can buy cheap rice from the Sihai Grain Store 200 catties every month, only 2 taels of silver is needed, each military certificate can be bought 3 times a year, which is equivalent to 1 tael of silver per stone of grain, not only the military households in Ningxia Fucheng have preferential treatments, but all the military households in Ningxia Town have preferential treatments, this is also a subsidy for poor military families. It's so hard to live in a military household.

At the end of the first day, after the evening summary, the report was reported to Feng Youcai, the total retail sales of the day was 3,000 taels of silver, and the total amount of goods to be picked up in the warehouse was 5,500 taels of silver. Feng Youcai and Lu Buqian were very satisfied with the sales results of the day.

Feng Youcai is very interested in this model of one warehouse and one store, and hopes that all cities will have this model in the future, in addition, do not buy a house alone in the city, you can use the backyard of the grain store as a dormitory for employees, which can reduce the guards, or the workload of the guards is too large, and it is easy to have loopholes. Moreover, in accordance with this model, we should gradually promote it to the big cities of the whole country, implement the chain model, and let the people of the whole country accept our grain stores, recognize our grain stores, and buy grain from our grain stores.

Feng Youcai now agrees with Lu Buqiang's statement that there is a lot of profit. And told Lu Buqian about his thoughts when he went shopping in the afternoon, and Lu Buqian also agreed with the preferential policy for military households, and happily accepted this idea, and promised to start implementing it tomorrow, so that all military households in Ningxia Town would become their own stable customer base.

On the same day, more than one-third of the grain in the warehouse was sold, and it will definitely not be as much as it was sold on the first day, and the retail will not be so hot, so it is still necessary to develop long-term customers and mainly wholesale to small grain merchants. After discussing with Lu Buqiu, Feng Youcai decided to follow the plan of coming over once every 3 days, so that the supply of goods could be replenished in time, even if there were large customers who wanted goods, and the supply was insufficient, the grace period of one day could be said to be in the past. Feng Youcai has already set the guest room where he lives in the fort as the exit of the system, and it is very convenient to go back and forth.

That night, the warehouse was filled again, and this time all the rice was purchased, where rice is better than white flour, Feng Youcai estimated that it was because this era had not yet learned to make flour food, so the taste of pasta was not as good as rice. Originally, I wanted to spread the production method of leaved food, but I only knew the fur, but then I thought about it, forget it, only sell rice, more single, better organize the supply, control the inventory, or wait for later. There are many things in today's society that need to be improved, but I always feel that it is better to wait for my own strength to develop and then change it, for example, the current carriage is two-wheeled, if it is changed to a four-wheeled one, not only the comfort is better, but the load capacity will also be larger, which can definitely promote the improvement of social productivity, but Feng Youcai is still unwilling to expose himself in advance, if he is targeted by Jinyiwei, it will be difficult to live that day, he is still a military household, and quietly make a fortune.

Before leaving, Feng Shi said that he was unwilling to be here, and was willing to accompany the young master, besides, although his military value was high, he was still lacking in commanding the war and organizing defense, and it was best to arrange a commander to do this work.

Feng Youcai felt that Feng Shi's words were also reasonable, so he formed an army commander Zhan Long who was responsible for guarding the fort of the Four Seas Trading House and managing these soldiers. Feng Shi was on duty here for about 9 days, and then took shifts, letting Feng Jiu come to duty for another 9 days, and then by analogy, Feng Shi could only accept this plan.
