Chapter 128: Enlightenment
After that, I went to the second most prosperous Qingqu Street, and visited the cloth village and embroidery workshop. Hu Yi shouted all the way that his leg was broken, but he still had a good time.
At the end of the afternoon, I went to the restaurant for dinner.
When the wine was drunk, Hu Wan said a few words that he wanted to show his strength in the provincial capital, but he was depressed with difficulty.
Hu Wan is doing business in the provincial capital, if he follows the previous model of the Hu family, there is no problem at all, and their Hu family has always purchased back and forth between the north and the south. But Hu Wan wanted to become bigger and stronger, but he never thought of a better way.
The ancestors of the Hu family were foot merchants, that is, they bought and sold, and sold goods from the south to the north. The Hu family has been able to endure hardships from generation to generation, and their minds are also shrewd, and the more money they make, the bigger their business becomes, but the pattern is always not large. Without its own factory and exclusive products to rely on, there is no way to get involved in big business or maritime trade, not to mention being restricted, it is impossible to become bigger and stronger. They have opened a lot of shops, restaurants, and tea shops, but because they have no characteristics, they are all mediocre.
The ancients liked to do family business, with good products, not only their own family system, but also like their own family *** such as his father-in-law's Xu family, planting tea, making tea and selling tea, and also selling tea to other businesses, but the number is very limited.
The Hu family has been in the capital for generations, and due to the poor business, Hu Shaogen's family moved to Nanping County. Hu Wan knew that he didn't have the ability to make his business bigger in the capital, so he chose the provincial capital of Ningzhou. He always wanted to surpass his father and do a better business.
Xu Lanyin said, "Brother Hu wants to make his business bigger, which is different from his family, so he must jump out of the original box and find another way." ”
Hu Wan smiled bitterly, "I also know that I have to find another way, but I don't know where the path is......
Xu Lanyin doesn't know much about business, but today when she saw Hu Yi, who shouted that her leg was broken, she thought of the large comprehensive shopping mall in her previous life. When I went in, I could buy basically everything. It is impossible for the Hu family to open a large shopping mall with their funds and connections, but it is still possible to open a small and medium-sized "department store".
Then he smiled, "I thought of an idea, I hope to give Brother Hu a little inspiration, Brother Hu don't laugh at my class for getting an axe." ”
Hu Wan immediately said, "Miss Xu, please speak." ”
"If you change the business model of the mall and make it different, business may improve." ”
The word "shopping mall" is very unfamiliar, but Hu Wan understands the meaning. He smiled, "It's really more appropriate to call a shop that sells things a shopping mall." If Miss Xu's idea is good, I will definitely thank you. ”
Xu Lanyin said with a smile, "I don't dare to thank you, as long as I can help Hu Gongzi." He added, "Because there are many kinds of things to buy, sometimes you have to walk several streets, or even half a city, to buy them all." If there is such a shopping mall, it includes almost all the goods such as eating, drinking, wearing, and using...... This kind of mall, if done well, will definitely attract many people. Not only do people in this city like to go, but even people from other places come to Ningzhou Mansion, and this place will be the most willing to go to buy things......"
She talked about the model of a modern comprehensive shopping mall, and said, "If you have a lot of money, build a bigger shopping mall, you can sell your goods, or you can rent out small shops to others." The fame is out, and those merchants with good brands will be willing to rent shops here. If you have limited financial resources, rent a large shop with several floors and sell it only to your family. The name is louder, such as 'Ningzhou Mansion No. 1 Department Store'......" and said with a smile, "I don't know business, nonsense, Hu Gongzi laughed." ”
I secretly said in my heart, although the name is rustic, it is absolutely loud in this era, and if it is not good, it will lead the business fashion.
Hu Wan pondered for a moment, then began to rub his hands and said with a smile, "Wonderful, feasible." Can Miss Xu be more specific? ”
Xu Lanyin also talked about the model of many shopping malls or supermarkets in the previous life, which can specialize in high-end department stores, medium-sized department stores, or daily necessities......
Hu Wan was emotionally excited when he heard this, and he couldn't wait to go back to his family immediately, and then discuss with his parents-in-law. His mother-in-law has only one biological daughter, his future daughter-in-law Xu Wan, and the other sons and daughters are all concubines. Therefore, the mother-in-law must be all about Xu Wan and him.
After dinner, Hu Cheng had to suppress his excitement and take them to Xu Wan's embroidery shop.
The shop is not big and not in the downtown area, but the customers come and go very lively, especially children. They mainly came to buy a few small dolls in the shop - ducklings, rabbits, and pigs, which Xu Lanyin taught Hu Yi to make.
Hu Yi is very happy that she has contributed to her future sister-in-law.
Xu Lanyin and Hu Yi bought a bunch of small things such as silk money, plain silk, plain silk, group fans, purses, silk flowers, bracelets and so on.
The shopkeeper was embarrassed to accept the money, but Zhao Wu and Hu Wan gave it hard.
Hu Wan was in a state of dissociation along the way, Zhao Wu and him had no common language, the two of them thought about their own thoughts, and they didn't say a word when they arrived at Hu's house.
After getting off the mule cart, Hu Wan went directly to the study, and Xu Lanyin and Zhao Wu went to the guest room. Hu Yi is Xu Lanyin, wherever she goes, she goes, and she also goes.
As soon as they entered the courtyard of the guest room, they saw Mazi eating brown rice in the courtyard. Seeing that Zhao Wu was back, he flew up to his palm and chirped.
Xu Lanzhou came out and handed him the small bamboo pipe, and laughed in a low voice, "Mazi will be back at noon." Then, I went to find Xu Lanyin.
Xu Lanyin took Hu Yi to Xu Lanting's house and gave him the food he bought, and Hu Yi also bought him two small toys.
When the two brothers heard that the embroidery had been sold for five hundred taels of silver, they were overjoyed, and they never dreamed that they would be able to sell it for this price. Especially Xu Lanzhou, smiling brighter than the sun outside the window.
Seeing their expectant eyes, Xu Lanyin took out the silver ticket and showed it to them, ignoring Xu Lanzhou's outstretched hand, and put the silver ticket into his purse, and then into his arms.
Xu Lanzhou's face was slightly red, and he was still embarrassed to say that he wanted to keep the money as the son of the Xu family.
Xu Lanyin did it on purpose, and she wanted to pull some of the child's thoughts and habits. When Xu Lanyin was at home, he often beat the bear child, but he couldn't listen to it at all.
After breakfast the next day, Hu Wan and his sisters accompanied the Xu family and Zhao Wu to Huichun Hall to see a doctor.
Hu Wan's eyes were red, with a big dark circle under his eyes, he should have been thinking about the mall all night.
Xu Lanyin said with a smile, "Brother Hu should rest at home, and let someone accompany us." ”
Hu Wan smiled, "I'm not at ease, I'll take you there personally." ”
Several people took a car to the Rejuvenation Hall. Dr. Fang's consultation fee is extremely expensive, costing two taels of silver, which is generally looked down upon by poor people.
