Chapter Thirty-Eight: Giving Advice
For a week in a row, Fengyue Mansion has been serving Lu Xin's master and servant with good food and drink, and Xiao Xuan's injuries are almost healed.
One day, the old mother asked Xiao Niang suspiciously in the wing room: "Xiao Niang, according to the old slave, their master and servant have no ability, if they still give them good food and drink every day, if they continue like this, Fengyue Building will become a good hall."
Xiao Niang smiled slightly, and then said: "Don't worry, I want far more than this, what they can give me will definitely exceed the price of two thousand taels."
The old mother was even more puzzled when she heard this, she said, "Xiao Niang believes in them like this?"
Xiao Niang's face showed a subtle smile, which was self-confidence and a smile that belonged to the winner.
The old mother still didn't give up, and even told Xiao Niang what she had thought about for a few days: "Xiao Niang, in the past six months, our business in Fengyue Building has not been as good as before. Since there was a demon girl from the Western Regions in Fangze Building, she has robbed a lot of old customers, and even Chen Gongzi Wang, who has always admired Yingyue, has been obsessed with that demon girl. β
Xiao Niang took a sip of tea and said unhurriedly: "Oh? Is there such a thing? β
The old mother immediately said: "But isn't it, when has our Fengyue Building been so deserted?" Now those big men think that we are old people here, and the music is the old tune. Those sons and gentlemen who often come are all masters who like the new and hate the old, and say that our dancing girls only dance around for a few moments, not to mention that the guests are tired, and even my old mother ............. β
Before Xiao Niang could finish her words, she slapped the table, glanced at the old mother, and said, "Why did the old lady raise you dog minions who can only grow the morale of others and destroy their own prestige?" The old lady has only been left alone for half a year, and this Fengyue Lou has fallen into a demon girl in the Western Regions? β
The old mother hurriedly knelt down and said, "Xiao Niang, Xiao Niang, please stop being angry!" The old slave has an idea, but I don't know whether to say it or not? β
"Say," Xiao Niang sat down a little calmly.
"Yes" the old mother said: "The old slave sees that Miss Xin'er is quite beautiful, either let her accompany our masters, those masters just want something fresh, otherwise we really can't keep them, those few are the waist pole characters in our Fengyuelou in this industry!"
After hearing this, Xiao Niang didn't think about it at all, and even said: "No, that young lady is definitely not a thing in my pool, although I don't know why it has fallen to this day, but if he has her day to turn over, it will be extraordinary, don't hit her crooked idea for the time being, otherwise she may destroy my Fengyue Tower in the future."
When the old mother heard this, she was secretly surprised, and thought: "What else can such a ragged lady in distress have?" However, what kind of character Xiao Niang is, she likes everything she likes. β
Xiao Niang said again: "You just have to continue to provide for them, if they have any requirements, just do it."
During the seven days that Lu Xin was in Fengyue Tower, she paid attention to the business here every day, observing the details of the passenger flow, girls, performances, services, and the overall layout and layout of Fengyue Tower. Based on her shrewd business acumen in her previous life, she could see at a glance the drawbacks that led to the dismal operation of Fengyue Building.
The next day, she called her mother over. Let the old mother classify the customers of Fengyue Mansion into three levels in detail, and give her a detailed list of documents and give it to her. Then there is to inquire about the general situation of large and small brothels in the capital, mainly to inquire about the operation methods, styles and characteristics of each brothel. So that she can have a general understanding of the selling points of her opponents, so that she can make a coping strategy and prevent sales plans that are similar to those of other brothels. What she wants to do is to get rid of the old and the new, so that the guests have a new look.
Within a few days, the old mother did the two things that Lu Xin gave her properly. However, no one really knows more about this Fengyue Tower than her.
Lu Xin immediately ordered the old mother to put up a big red banner on the faΓ§ade and the second floor of Fengyue Building according to the advertising slogan she wrote. Let everyone know that when Fengyue Tower will open early next month, there will be a grand song and dance performance, and everyone can enter the show for free that night, if you don't consume alcohol, it will be free. But during this period, Fengyue Building was closed for a month to rectify and rectify.
The old mother was not happy when she heard it, she said: "How can we have a free performance in Fengyue Building for people to see, doesn't this clearly want my Xiao Niang to do a loss-making business?" Hmph, okay you tattered miss, did you come up with some bad ideas to take revenge on our Fengyue Tower? You, what do you have in mind? You....... β
Before the old mother finished speaking, she saw a maid at the door helping the noble and gorgeous Xiao Niang to come in. Xiao Niang just wanted to cross the threshold, but the old mother hurriedly greeted her, and was about to say something, but was stopped by Xiao Niang.
Xiao Niang looked at Lu Xin with sharp eyes and said, "Let me hear what you mean?"
Lu Xin narrated her business plan, she said: "Throughout the capital inside and outside, large and small courtyard restaurants have never been extravagant, if Fengyue Lou is willing to run such a big fanfare, it will definitely cause a sensation in the capital." Let many courtyards and buildings take you as the standard, and then the reputation of Fengyue Tower will spread all over the streets and alleys. This move is mainly to expand the momentum of Fengyue Tower, so that Fengyue Tower has become an unconventional object. Otherwise, no matter how good the dance, opera, and girls in Fengyue Lou are, if no one advertises it and no one knows, then how can there be business? Is it enough to just keep on with the past guests? β
Xiao Niang and the old mother felt that this was indeed reasonable, and they also knew that now they even the old guests were gradually dispersed.
Lu Xin's way of doing business was to retain her own customers, and then strive to develop other people's customers into her own. She always said to herself, what's yours is mine, and mine is still mine.
She continued: "The reason why it is free is because I want more people to have a glimpse of Fengyue Tower and accumulate popularity. Don't underestimate those people in the market, with their arrival, you can make Fengyue Tower's reputation great. This trick is called "please enter the urn" is not free, so what is it? β
After saying so much, Lu Xin felt a little thirsty, so she naturally sat opposite Xiao Niang and poured herself a cup of tea to drink. Then he said, "The invitation card will be delivered to you one day in advance, and a high-level viewing platform will be set up on the second floor for guests to sit. Those who have a little bit of identity want others to value themselves. However, the cost in this regard must not be saved, you must make sure that these dignitaries and nobles know that Fengyuelou's service to them is unique, and he is the only one. So that they will take care of you more in the future. β
Xiao Niang also felt that this was indeed reasonable, she thought: "This Miss Xin'er, she has such a mind at such a young age, and can analyze the psychological characteristics of people at all levels like this, it really didn't disappoint her."
Lu Xin said: "First, the old and dilapidated inside and outside of Fengyue Building should be repaired again, and each wing room should be given a name for guests to choose later."
Second, let all the girls in the building come to me tomorrow. I will paint a portrait of each of them, and then hang the better ones in a wooden frame at the entrance, and all the others on the wall of the lobby for the guests to see and choose. And I will note the talent characteristics of each girl next to the portrait.
The third is to choreograph a set of singing and dancing dances for the singers and dancers as the opening performance, which I have already thought about, you just have to gather them together and let me teach them to sing and dance, and they must be rehearsed before the opening.
Fourth, all the guys in the Fengyue Building must wear the clothes I designed, and use the costumes to distinguish the guys of different levels and different jobs. β
Lu Xin's whole set of plans is the strategy she used to build a brand in the past, but she didn't expect these strategies to be used in a brothel.
Lu Xin said again: "For the time being, let's start according to what I said above!" After she dropped such a sentence, she drank the tea by herself, and she didn't bother to look at the Xiao beauty.
The old mother looked at Lu Xin with no one in her eyes, and suddenly wanted to attack her. She thought, no one in Fengyue Mansion dared to take Xiao Niang so seriously, and our Xiao Niang hadn't yet agreed, so she dared to give her an order.
I only heard Xiao Niang say slowly: "Everything will be done according to Miss Xin'er's wishes, from now on, close the door and thank you."
After she finished speaking, she got up gracefully and left, leaving the stunned old mother behind.
