Chapter 56: Wang Kunjun Enters Youzhou City Again (1)
Under the full promotion of Zhu Xiaoyuan and Liu Jie, the preparatory work of "Shushang Fang" was carried out quite efficiently. However, in more than half a month, it was already open for business in the middle of July of the lunar calendar.
Although "Shu Fashion Fang" is a new storefront, the novel style of combining Chinese and Western, the unheard of and unseen unique concept, does not belong to the design concept of this era, so that all kinds of clothing and clothing sold by it have quickly become the birthplace of fashion trends in the minds of all dignitaries and wealthy businessmen in Liangxiang City, and even in the entire Nanjing Youdu Mansion. Moreover, with the intentional or unintentional spread of merchants from all walks of life from the south to the north, the name of "Shushangfang" has become more and more well-known, and its products have also been sold to various places.
Because it is a high-end route, most of the various clothing and apparel of "Shushang Fang" adopt a customized production model, and the output of each product is very small, and the number of products that are really sold outside Youzhou by other merchants is even rarer. So much so that later, in some big cities and ports in the Later Zhou or Southern Tang Dynasty, the price of the "Shushengfang" products that changed hands several times was almost comparable to gold. There are some ready-to-wear shops or silk shops, and when they see the huge profits, they ask local tailors to make the same, intending to make a lot of money with the fake.
As a result, these counterfeiters have been dealt a heavy blow. It was not the crossing team that hit them, but the local wealthy businessmen. These big businessmen first sent their cronies to the counterfeit shops to buy clothes in the name of authentic "Shushang Fang", and then sued these shops to the government that had already been ordered in advance for the crime of selling fake goods. The government that has received the benefits will naturally not be soft on these shops, and it is light to punish him for bankruptcy. Many shop owners were arrested and imprisoned, and in order to suffer less crimes, they had to accept the fate of being severely knocked out by the government. After some rectification, the market order has taken on a new look, and it is almost impossible to find any traces of fakes.
Of course, these big businessmen did not do this because they were full of a sense of justice and hated counterfeit goods. The reason is that these big businessmen are all sellers of genuine products of "Shushangfang", and those merchants who produce fake goods directly infringe on their interests, so they will be hit so violently. Regardless of the motives of the big businessmen to crack down on counterfeit products, the result is very favorable to the "Shushang Fang". Under the guidance of the idea that everyone can make money, the cooperation between "Shushengfang" and businessmen from all over the world is getting closer and closer. A few years later, almost all the big cities and big ports had their branches. But that's all for later.
The opening of the "Fashion Workshop" was a pleasure, but it also made it imperative for the committee to select another good store for the future glass shop as soon as possible. The reason is very simple, just three days after the opening of the "Shushang Fang", Liu Wendong of the "Jingyuan" came to the news that the scientific research team led by him has made a breakthrough in the development of glass, and it is estimated that the first batch of finished products will be manufactured before the end of the month. Although there are still some deficiencies in glass products at this time, such as the color is not pure enough, the rejection rate is relatively high, and the shape is relatively simple. However, through communication with Fang Yingyu Fang, the owner of "Fang Kee Jewelry Workshop", the committee realized that even this kind of glass product with large defects is already a good product in China in this era. Although these defective products in Liu Wendong's eyes could not be sold at the price of the few pieces of glass they auctioned at the beginning, it was still no problem for a small glass cup of non-pure color to be sold for 180 yuan, and its cost was so low that it was insignificant - after deducting the cost of research and development, the production cost of one such glass was only more than 30 yuan.
Such huge profits made the eyes of the traversers who once lived in a commodity society shine. If this is left before the crossing, only the profits of the drug trade can be compared. Therefore, after receiving Liu Wendong's report, the committee immediately decided to send Fan Wucheng to buy a store in the most prosperous area of Liangxiang City, and be sure to renovate it before the end of the month to make it the first store specializing in glass products in this era. Even the name of the store, Zhang Weixin, was given, and it was called "Jingbaoxuan". The name, although ordinary, coincides with the essence of the product and its market value.
After receiving the committee's instructions, Fan Wucheng immediately went to the most prosperous north and south streets in Liangxiang City with Song Feiyang, walked from north to south, and inspected all the shops on the street one by one. After some comparison, the two chose three stores with wide doors and moderate size as pre-selected solutions. Immediately afterwards, the two went into the three stores one by one, and used the conversations with the store guys and shopkeepers to understand the personnel inside the store, the business situation, the background situation of the owner, and other relevant information.
Subsequently, the two returned to "Qingyuan" with the information they had learned, reported to Wang Kunjun and Zhang Weixin, and analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of each of the three shops to Wang and Zhang in detail, and also put forward their own judgment - they believed that one of the three tea shops had the best conditions and could be used as the first target.
After listening to their briefings, Wang and Zhang contacted Li Junwu and Xu Shaoan of the "Jingyuan" on the one hand and reported the relevant situation. On the other hand, Zhao Dawei, Xie Tian and others from the business group were brought in to participate in the discussion of the new store location.
After some weighing by everyone, the Zuihou committee accepted Fan Wucheng's suggestion and chose the tea shop as the target, and Fan Wucheng and Song Feiyang were responsible for negotiating with the tea shop owner, striving to complete the store acquisition in the shortest possible time and create conditions for the establishment of "Jingbaoxuan".
Fan Wucheng and Song Feiyang received the order and prepared to negotiate with the owner of the tea shop immediately. Before leaving the small conference room, Fan Wucheng said to Wang Kunjun and Zhang Weixin: "Fifth brother, seventh brother, I have an immature suggestion that I want to talk to you about. ”
"Old Fourteen, if you have anything to say, you don't have to be so polite between brothers." Wang Kunjun replied.
Fan Wucheng thought for a moment and said: "That's the case, I think that although Liangxiang City is the throat road from Youzhou to the Southern Dynasty, and there are many merchants coming and going, after all, the pattern is too small, and everyone's purchasing power is still relatively limited." Therefore, I would like to suggest to the committee whether we should consider developing into Youzhou City. In particular, the market for 'high-end goods' like glass products in Youzhou City should be much larger than that in Liangxiang. Of course, if possible, it would be better to sell it to Houzhou or Nantang. Whether it is Kaifeng or Jiangning, its sales volume is definitely much stronger than that in the north. ”
Wang Kunjun and Zhang Weixin were very interested in Fan Wucheng's suggestion, and this was also the direction of the team's development. Therefore, Wang and Zhang affirmed Fan Wucheng's suggestion, and said that they would discuss the matter with Li Junwu and Xu Shaoan and put this suggestion into practice as soon as possible.
Seeing that his suggestion was supported by Wang and Zhang, Fan Wucheng was also down-to-earth, took Seinfeld out of the small conference room, and went straight to the tea shop that was selected.
After Fan Wucheng and Song Feiyang left, Wang Kunjun and Zhang Weixin immediately informed the "Jingyuan" of Fan Wucheng's proposal through the radio, and discussed it with Li Junwu and Xu Shaoan.
The four members of the committee did not disagree on Fan Wucheng's proposal itself, after all, this was a major policy that had been set early on, but they did not agree on the issue of who to send into Youzhou City to fight the front station. In particular, when Wang Kunjun proposed to personally enter Youzhou City to open up, the other three committee members all expressed their opposition. Zhang Weixin, in particular, resolutely disagreed on the grounds of safety. Xu Shaoan, as the head of the security team, also expressed his worries about Wang Kunjun's entry into Youzhou City.
Xu Shaoan said: "On this matter, I have the same opinion as the seventh brother, and no one can send the fifth brother to you." Youzhou City is not as good as Liangxiang, our relationship network there is far less solid than Liangxiang, but the risk factors are much higher than that of Liangxiang. Fifth brother, you should still remember that the last time you accompanied the little fifth sister-in-law to Youzhou City to meet your father-in-law and mother-in-law, how many people did the security team send to follow you. That's it, before you left Youzhou City smoothly, my eldest brother and my seventh brother and I were still in our hearts. So, you can't go anyway this time. Even if you don't want to cause trouble to the team, you shouldn't go again. ”
Xu Shaoan's words resonated with Zhang Weixin, and he immediately grabbed Xu Shaoan's zuihou words, and strongly persuaded Wang Kunjun not to enter Youzhou City again on the grounds of not causing trouble to the team.
Wang Kunjun disagreed with Xu and Zhang's reasons for obstruction, and said: "I said, two brothers, what kind of reason do you say you are looking for?" 'Don't cause trouble to the team', why did I go to Youzhou City to cause trouble for the team? I am not here for personal matters, but to open up new space for the future development of the team.
Yes, the last time I entered Youzhou City, the movement was a bit big, and I brought a bit more people. However, it wasn't because I wasn't sure about my father-in-law's and mother-in-law's attitude at the time, but it was an extraordinary measure just in case. But this time it's different, this time I'm going to do business, it's an ordinary business activity, and there will be no danger at all. Moreover, this time my father-in-law and mother-in-law not only did not pose any threat to me, on the contrary, they would provide me with a lot of help, at least I would be absolutely safe in his house. Therefore, the safety factor of entering Youzhou City this time is very high, and there is no need to bring so many people like last time. If you rely on me, just bring the old fourteen, Wang Feng and three or four people from the 'Qingyuan Guard Squad', at most plus a clean dust, it is definitely enough. ”
Zhang Weixin waved his hand after hearing this, and said, "That's not good, how can you bring so many people." Yes, your father-in-law will certainly help you a lot this time, and will provide you with some shelter. However, have you ever thought about it, you are not going to Youzhou to travel, you are going to do business, you can't stay at your father-in-law's house all the time and not go out. Once you're out of Hanfu, the situation is ever-changing.
You must know that Youzhou City is the central city of the entire Nanjing Road, and there are people who have a higher official position and are shili bigger than your father-in-law. If you accidentally offend a high-ranking person in the course of business activities, or have a conflict with someone who is strong enough, your father-in-law will not be able to save you. At that point, we'll be on our own. But if you only bring so few people, how can you protect yourself? ”
"That's right, that's right," Xu Shaoan from the radio station followed, "Fifth brother, if you have to go, it's not impossible." However, you have to bring at least half of the guards and the pro-soldier team, and let the Wyvern Pioneer Battalion send a squadron with you, so that I can rest assured. ”
Xu Shaoan's words made Wang Kunjun so angry that he couldn't cry or laugh, and he said angrily: "What kind of bad idea do you have, you just said that I brought a lot of people to Youzhou City last time, and I was causing trouble for the team." As a result, you have intensified your efforts this time, so that I not only have to bring half of the security team, half of the pro-soldier team, but also a squadron of the Flying Dragon Pioneer Battalion, so how many people do I have to have in this team? With such a large team, can the guards of Youzhou City let me in? ”
Xu Shao'an was obviously very clear about the result of bringing so many people into Youzhou, he immediately took Wang Kunjun's words and said, "Then fifth brother, you will definitely not be able to enter the city gate." Moreover, I reckon that not only will you not be able to enter, but I am afraid that before you reach the gates, the guards will have to close the gates and prepare to defend against the enemy. So, in order to prevent this from happening, it's better not to go to Youzhou City. ”
Seeing that Xu Shaoan was obviously cheating, Wang Kunjun was helpless. However, he would not give up on this, but ignored Xu Shaoan and continued; "Yes, Lao Qi's worries have a certain reason. Youzhou City is not as small as Liangxiang, where there are many dignitaries and dignitaries, and my father-in-law's backer may not be big enough. However, have you forgotten that we have another relationship in Youzhou City? ”
