Chapter 185: Intended for Pei Gong
The girls and rooms downstairs are relatively cheaper, mainly for those who are middle-class consumers. The second floor is luxuriously decorated, this is the first time Leng Yi has come to the ancient green building, and he is a little dazzled. The girl on the second floor is much more classy, at least she hasn't slept lazy, she has already gotten up, and she still practices singing and dancing or something. Every girl has a maid to serve, and her appearance and conversation are very good.
Looking at these elegant and pretty girls, the old man showed a smug smile and looked at Leng Yi, presumably he should have shown something, but he didn't expect that Leng Yi was still expressionless, just because he was wearing a mask, he couldn't see it. And the grass ears continue to pick and choose, looking for faults everywhere.
When he had finished reading all the places, the old man's mood was also fifteen buckets to fetch water, seven up and eight down. I don't know if this deal will work out. Finally, they sat down again, and Cao Sui complained to Leng Yi that this green building was really ordinary, and if they took over, they would have to invest a lot in renovation, and most of the girls would have to be replaced, otherwise they would only lose money.
Leng Yi knew that she was singing with a white face, and she had to sing with a red face, so she pouted her lips with a prickly prickly expression, and said, "It depends on their bid, if it's too outrageous, then find another one." ”
The old man hurriedly said in a loud voice: "My price is absolutely fair!" After thinking for a long time, he looked at Leng Yi and Caosui, hesitated for a moment, and then said cautiously: "Three million Wen, including all the girls, guys, and all the belongings, I will take my own package and cash cabinet and leave, how about it?" ”
When Leng Yi first came in, the shopkeeper's psychological expectation of selling price was five million Wen, but now it has been reduced by two million, just because he wants to do this business too much and get rid of this hot yam.
When it came, Leng Yi and Cao Sui had already agreed, and the price was determined by Cao Sui. Cao Sui was also satisfied with this price, but she pouted and said: "You Qinglou, to be fair, if it is in normal times, it can be worth more than 10 million yuan, but this flood, the business of the entire Bazhou is sluggish, and you can sell it at this price, which is not high." Our shopkeeper is also fast-talking, and we can accept this price, so we won't bargain. ”
The old man breathed a sigh of relief and thanked him.
Cao Sui said again: "How much iron money do you have in the treasury now?" ”
The old man didn't know what the grass spike meant, and looked at the grass spike.
Cao Sui said: "That's the case, our shopkeeper is from other places, the road is far away, and it is inconvenient to carry, so all he takes is gold." But when the guests come, they must use iron money, and gold is not easy to exchange, so you want to use gold to replace all the iron money in your treasury, okay? ”
"Of course you can, we also save a lot of things, sell the green building, we will go back to our hometown, I am worried that this iron money is not convenient to carry, you have helped me a lot."
At the moment, the old man took Leng Yi and them to the treasury to count, and they were all dressed in a thousand wen, and after the count, there were more than 12 million wen. plus the money to buy the green house, a total of 15 million wen was spent!
At that moment, the mayor of this street was found, and the two sides signed a deed, and Leng Yi naturally used a fake name. The old man took out the deed of the house and the title deed, as well as the deeds of sale of all the girls and slaves. Leng Yi paid the gold on the spot. The old man happily took the gold and left Bazhou.
Leng Yi still hired the old bustard to manage the Qinglou. The bustard was very grateful and said that he would do a good job.
Leng Yi said: "Our Qinglou will reopen for a big reward, and a 20% discount within a month." ”
Both Cao Sui and Lao Bustard said that now that they are in a recession, they can only attract customers with discounts.
Leng Yi said to Lao Bustard: "You have to think of more ways, in this month, start the business, in this month, you don't need to make a lot of money, as long as you keep the capital." The key is to have guests coming, and the more guests the better. If there is no improvement within a month, you will leave, and if it reaches the level of people before the flood, or even exceeds, I will reward you heavily! ”
"Thank you," the old bustard smiled, "With your words, the old body has an idea!" You can't go wrong! ”
Leng Yi's thinking is very clear, his current purpose is to exchange the gold in his hand for iron money as soon as possible, and use the gold to pay the capital himself, in exchange for the iron money of the guests. Therefore, as long as the capital is protected, the more guests there are, the more iron money will be consumed, and the more iron money, the more money will be made, so his goal is not to earn money from these guests, but to earn money from the court to replace iron money in the future!
After finishing it, Leng Yi took the grass ears to the next transferred shop, which was called 'Bazhou Restaurant', one of the most upscale and prosperous restaurants in Bazhou. I can't drive it now. Post a notice of transfer.
Cao Sui talked flatteringly, observed words and looks, and bought this restaurant at a price much lower than the normal transfer price. Of course, it also replaced the tens of millions of iron money in the restaurant itself.
Leng Yi still hired the shopkeeper of the restaurant, and clearly told him that the restaurant would operate with capital preservation within a month, and hold big reward activities such as discounts and food lotteries. It must be restored to the pre-flood level within a month, and if it is reached, there will be many prizes, and if it is not reached, the squid will be fired.
In the next few days, Leng Yi and Caosui successively acquired several inns, casinos, rice shops, silk shops, rouge shops, etc., and these expenses were not as much as the previous purchase of Qinglou.
The gold raised by Bai Hong was sent to Leng Yi one after another, and sure enough, in ten days, she raised more than 10,000 taels, plus the one that was given to Leng Yi before, and Leng Yi's own, there were about 20,000 taels of gold in total. Leng Yi bought the shop he wanted to buy, and only used a small part of the gold.
Next, he waited for these shops to exchange money for himself, and his instructions to all these bought shops were to operate with capital preservation within a month, do as much business as possible, and earn customers. Of course, his main goal is to earn back as much iron money as possible as quickly as possible!
Every morning, Cao Sui would wear a human skin mask to count and calculate the accounts of the first day, and then transport all the iron money he earned back, and then withdraw the calculated capital from Leng Yi, and use the gold to take back the shops for basic expenses. In this way, the exchange of gold and iron coins was completed.
In order to avoid revealing his identity, Leng Yi bought a small mansion. Cao Sui escorted the iron money from each shop to this place under the escort of the shop guys. Leng Yi would box the money again and hire a horse-drawn carriage to transport it back to his residence. In this way, those shops do not know that their proprietors are actually the general judgment of the yamen.
The day after the acquisition was completed, Leng Yi announced the start of disaster relief in Bazhou City, and the efforts of the imperial court to provide disaster relief were also very large, which stabilized the hearts of the people of Bazhou at once. In this context, Leng Yi's marketing strategy and reward mechanism to protect the capital and earn customers have achieved great success, and the shopkeepers of each store have done their best to attract business, and a large number of customers have been attracted to his stores. By the time the imperial court's replacement order came down, all his gold had been replaced with iron money.
The imperial court sent a special envoy to Bazhou to preside over the work of replacing copper coins with iron coins. The envoy took the holy decree and showed it to Leng Yi and Liao Governor. Leng Yi looked at it, and sure enough, it was one hundred and ten copper coins for one hundred Wenba Prefecture iron coins!
You don't need to ask whose money is to replace the iron money, for example, the imperial court shipped one hundred and ten copper coins, and Leng Yi and their yamen only need to hand over one hundred Wen Bazhou iron coins minted by the envoy. And this work, Liao Zhifu gave carte blanche to Leng Yi. Therefore, Leng Yi replaced his iron money with the copper money given by the imperial court, and he didn't know it.
Before the imperial court replacement order came down, Leng Yi's 20,000 taels of gold, except for the cost of buying shops, the rest had been replaced with iron money, about 100 million wen. After the exchange, you will make a net profit of 10 million Wen!
Now the trouble came, and all the gold had been replaced by copper coins, which were piled up like a hill. Almost all of Leng Yi's empty rooms were filled with boxes of copper coins. Zhuo Qiaoniang couldn't sleep for a few days when she was excited, she had never seen so much money. However, when there is too much money, I am afraid that the thief will worry about it.
How to deal with this money, Leng Yi has already thought about it. Leng Yi came to Xinghuang Restaurant again and found Bai Hong.
Bai Hong looked at him with interest and said, "I can't see it, you are still a businessman, you are so good at work, you have already earned 10 million Wen." ”
Leng Yi smiled: "Are you spying on me secretly? ”
"No, it's just that I have eyeliner everywhere, including Bavaria. Bazhou City suddenly came to a wide lord, joy and anger are invisible, bought more than a dozen shops in one go, and replaced iron money with a large amount of gold, I am naturally very curious, I don't need to look at it to guess that it is you, my people said, you wear our mask, naturally it is yours. Then, the imperial court bought the iron money at a high price, and I then understood why you had to advance so much money, it turned out that you had already received the news. However, your risk is still very big, in case the imperial court does not buy or the reserve price is forced to buy, won't you lose a lot of money? However, what you have identified and go to the end without hesitation, I appreciate this surname, which is also a must-have for a business. That's why I say you're the stuff for business. ”
Leng Yi smiled and said, "I also bet on this, if I make a profit, I will make a lot of money, and if I lose, I will die." A one-shot deal. ”
"But it's not like that, you let all the shops you buy keep their capital in business, and make a big deal of rewards, so that you can quickly replace gold with iron money, and it takes a lot of courage before you get the final and definite information, which is not just bold, it requires a strong business mind. These are the reasons why I praise you for being a businessman. ”
"I'm not here to listen to your compliments." Leng Yi smiled: "I'm here to ask you for help." ”
"How can you help?"
Leng Yi said: "This year's floods are particularly severe, and most of our paddy fields in Bazhou have been washed away by floods. Although the imperial court carried out disaster relief, I calculated that the relief food of the imperial court was only enough for the victims to last for three months at most, plus the grain I asked you to buy from the capital, plus miscellaneous grains, wild vegetables and so on, it could only last for half a year at most. The vast majority of the farmland of the people of Bazhou this year has not been harvested, and it will be more than a year after next autumn. Therefore, in the spring of next year, the people of Bazhou will run out of food. And the people of Bazhou are already very poor and do not have much money to buy food. I inquired, at that time, it was difficult to count on the imperial court for disaster relief, because the imperial court was already preparing to use troops against the Liao State, and a large amount of military food reserves were needed. It is no longer possible to allocate food to Bavaria for disaster relief. We can only rely on ourselves. ”
