Chapter 191: Cooperation
Chapter 191 Cooperation
Apricot returns to the ginkgo orchard. As soon as she entered the door, Li Yin greeted her in a panic, she took Ah Xing's hand and said nervously: "Little sister, I heard that Master Hu is coming to Beijing, is it true?" ”
The dough slowly moved over to hug her mother's legs, raised her head, and looked at her mother and A-Xing with a pair of big black and white eyes, her mother's panic made her a little nervous.
Ah Xing first picked up the dough, kissed her little cheek, stroked her head and comforted her, and then said to Li Yin in a relaxed tone: "Sister, Hu Gongzi is just here to do business in Tiandu, don't worry, it will be fine." Now that you have broken away from the Hu family, you are no longer the Hu family, they dare not do anything to you! ”
After receiving the comfort of her sister, Li Yin breathed a sigh of relief, everything about the Hu family had become the deepest fear in her heart, she was a concubine, and she also took away the blood of the Hu family. Although her sister told her more than once that she was fine, she couldn't help but be shocked when she heard the news about the Hu family.
She lowered her head and smiled embarrassedly: "Sister is really useless, I can't hold my breath at all, I can't help you a little when you're so busy, but I also let you worry about me." ”
Ah Xing put down the dough, held her sister's hand with both hands, smiled lightly, and said, "Sister's words are wrong, who said that you didn't help me, if you weren't helping to manage this ginkgo orchard, how could I have such a comfortable place to rest?" You care about me everywhere and take care of me, how can I not know? Also, you take such good care of both children, they are my nephews and nieces, they bring me a lot of happiness, and my sister makes me feel the warmth of home, I am really grateful to my sister! ”
Li Yin smiled shyly, "My parents are not around, I don't care about you, who cares about you?" If you feel sorry for me, quickly find someone to take care of you, so that we can rest assured. "We" also include Li Runfu and his wife, the three daughters' lifelong affairs have not been resolved, why are they not in a hurry, this time to come to Tiandu. I guess that's the main purpose.
When Ah Xing heard Li Yin bring up this topic again, she quickly retreated and said, "I still have something to do, go back to the study first." After speaking, he hurried towards the house, Li Yin looked at her back and smiled helplessly.
After A-Xing returned to the study, she continued to complete her plan. Two days later, when the plan was almost complete, she called Yun Duo and the Chen sisters and told them about her plan.
Yun Duo and the Chen sisters naturally agreed, they had long seen the Hu family unpleasantly, and they wished to make the Hu family unlucky. Yun Duo said fiercely: "It's best to let the Hu family go bankrupt just like this!" After that, they will all be poor! Look how they still hurt people! ”
The Chen sisters are very supportive of Yunduo's words!
At this time, Rong Zheng's voice interjected: "Deal with the Hu family, count me as one!" Because they still hurt my master to be punished back then, this account must also be recovered from them! ”
The four of them looked back and saw Rong Zheng standing at the door of the study, and they didn't know how long they had been standing, they probably heard it all! Rong Zheng shrugged his shoulders in a chic manner and smiled lightly: "Don't blame me for eavesdropping, I came to find Ah Xing, and I happened to hear it." ”
Yun Duo smiled and said, "Rong Zheng, don't talk big, how are you going to help A-Xing!" Do you know how to do business? ”
Rong Zheng walked in slowly. sat down on a chair next to the desk, looked up at them and smiled, "I don't know how to do business, but Ah Xing also plans to open a shop, isn't it?" I can advertise Ah Xing's shop for free for a long time! ”
Ah Xing smiled: "This is a good idea, the main customer group of the store is married women, if Rong Zheng advertises for us, it will definitely have a good effect!" ”
Rong Zheng looked at her, with a gentle look in his eyes: "I'm very happy to be able to help you!" ”
Seeing this, the clouds' eyes darkened slightly. However, as long as Rong Zheng is happy and Ah Xing is happy, she will be happy. The rest doesn't matter.
***
The Hu family shop has been open for 10 days, and the market is full of people every day, and the supply of goods exceeds demand. The surrounding shops are watching.
In the 20 days since the Hu family shop opened, the prices of the goods in the store have increased slightly, but the prices are still much cheaper than those of other shops. Business is not as buzzing as it used to be, but it's still thriving. When people want to buy something, the first choice is the Hu family shop. The shops around me started to get a little nervous.
The Hu family's shop opened for a month, the price of goods continued to remain low, the business was booming, proud of the crowd, the business of the surrounding shops fell by at least half in a month, and everyone began to lose their breath. There are also some shops that want to adjust the price to the same level as the Hu family, but the business is still not improving, and their purchase price is already high, and there is not much profit if the price is reduced, so it is not a long-term solution.
Just when they were anxious and panicked. On the same day, at the same time, they both received an invitation from Ah Xing, inviting them to gather in the teahouse in the evening to discuss with them about curbing the Hu family's shop.
The Hu family's shop is a thorn in the eye of these people at this time, a thorn in the flesh, everyone is eager for the Hu family's shop to close down immediately, how can there be no reason to be tempted to see this invitation, and they have responded to the appointment on time at night.
This night, in the largest teahouse in Tiandu and the largest private room in Yuquan teahouse, several big merchants in Tiandu, Boss Xu of Yunjin Silk Village, Boss Huang of Zhenbao Zhai, Boss Li of the Four Treasures of the Study, Boss Wang of the grocery store, Boss Zhao of the aquatic mountain goods store, etc., all sat at the same table and looked at A Xing.
These people are all frequent visitors to the theater, and they are naturally familiar with Ah Xing, and they also know Ah Xing's skills, so they will come by appointment.
Among them, Boss Xu spoke first: "Why did Miss A-Xing ask us to come?" ”
The boss of the grocery store Wang said eagerly: "Miss Axing said that there is a way to curb the Hu family's shop, what is the solution?" "The grocery store is a thing that is often used on a daily basis, and it is the easiest to be robbed of business. He was arguably the one who had lost the most, so he was particularly nervous.
Ah Xingping retired from the little maid in the private room and asked the Chen sisters to help guard the door to prevent people from eavesdropping. After pouring the tea, he sat down in his place, smiled lightly, and said slowly: "This is the best dragon well before the rain, please taste it slowly." ”
Boss Li of the Four Treasures of the Study Room frowned: "Miss Axing, we are not here to drink tea, if you have any ideas, please say it quickly." Don't waste all of our time! ”
Ah Xing smiled slightly, turned her head and glanced at Yun Duo, who understood, took a stack of bound plans from the side, and distributed them to everyone one by one.
Boss Xu curiously flipped through the plan in his hand: "What is this?" ”
Ah Xing stood up, supported the table with both hands, looked at everyone, and said slowly: "This is the plan that Ah Xing is ready to cooperate with everyone!" ”
Everyone was stunned, and they all raised their heads and looked at Ah Xing: "Cooperation? ”
Ah Xing said seriously: "You are all old-timers in the business world, please let go of the prejudices in your hearts first, just look at the Hu family's shop from the perspective of doing business, do you think the Hu family's shop is successful?" ”
Boss Zhao of the aquatic mountain store touched his beard and said: "His business method is really good, after attracting customers at low prices, customers can basically buy everything they want from him." In the long run, customers will get used to coming to him when they want to buy something! And we, the small shops around us, will bear the brunt and gradually decay! After saying that, I couldn't help but sigh.
The rest of the people were also full of sadness.
Ah Xing looked at them and said word by word: "Since his business method is very good, why don't we follow his method and open a department store like this in the same way?" Instead of being gradually robbed of his business, it is better to steal his business in turn! You are all long-time business people, I believe that as long as we join forces, with our financial resources and experience, we will definitely do better than him! ”
A Xing's words made the spirits of the people present lifted, and they couldn't help but bow their heads and carefully read A Xing's plan, read a few pages, and couldn't help but admire in their hearts, A Xing's plan was detailed and thoughtful, and how to cooperate, how to attract customers, a rough estimate of interests, and the future development prospects were explained in detail. Everyone's faces couldn't help but show excitement.
Businessmen are profit-oriented, and there is no one who is not tempted by any business that can make money, especially when he sees the success of the Hu family's shop. It's not that everyone hasn't had this kind of thought secretly, but because of the weak strength and lack of funds, they don't dare to try it easily, and now Ah Xing has thought about all the details, as long as everyone contributes money and efforts, it seems that there are good prospects.
Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and you all see an interested look in each other's eyes.
Among them, Boss Xu cautiously mentioned: "Ah Xing, although your plan is good, how can you guarantee that you will be able to snatch the business of the Hu family's shop, you must know that the Hu family is cheap and good, and we can't lower the price than his!" ”
Ah Xing smiled: "We don't need to be lower than his price, as long as we have the same price as him, I can be sure to grab his business." As long as we let him have no business for three consecutive months, I can guarantee that the Hu family's shop will definitely close down! "If you don't have a business, you have to lose money, and it's strange if you don't close the door!
Boss Wang of the grocery store showed joy on his face, like a savior, "Miss A-Xing is really so sure?" ”
Yun Duo stood up at this time and said loudly: "You should know Ah Xing's ability just to see that my sister can run Tingsong Theater to such a scale in just two years!" In fact, there are only three ways in front of everyone now, one is to continue to hold on to the bottom of the Hu family's shop, and the result can be imagined. Or just change places to operate, but it is estimated that away from Yongchang Street, everyone's business will not be much better. But if you follow A-Xing's plan, the bosses can turn the crisis into an opportunity, and they may have the opportunity to become a big businessman on the rich side in the future, now it depends on whether everyone can make up their minds and seize the opportunity in front of them! "These words, Yun Duo heard Ah Xing say, and now it is the first thing to say.
Ah Xing saw that everyone was still a little hesitant, knowing that everyone did not want to let go of this opportunity, but also was afraid of taking risks, afraid that they would not be able to achieve the expected goal after investing in the silver. She thought about it for a while, and then said: "Ah Xing is not as good as your predecessors in terms of retail, and you will have to worry more about business matters in the future." In order to show A-Xing's sincerity, A-Xing decided to invest in A-Xing's 50%, and the seniors accounted for 50%, but the income A-Xing only accounted for three of them, and the seniors accounted for the remaining 70%, I don't know if you have any opinions? ”
Ah Xing's father in his previous life once said that whether it is for employees or customers, if your contribution is less than his expectations, he will be disappointed and lose interest in continuing to cooperate; If your pay is equal to his expectation, he is not impressed, and if your contribution is greater than his expectation, he will be determined to cooperate with you! She is now eager for the help of these people to defeat the Hu family, and she doesn't take the benefits too seriously, and it doesn't matter if she earns a little less.
Now Ah Xing's contribution is indeed beyond everyone's expectations, only need to pay fifty percent, you can get seventy percent of the return, and according to A Xing's plan, the chance of success is very high, in this case, why not try? Maybe it's your chance!
Everyone showed a look of interest, and just as everyone was about to make a decision, Boss Xu, who has always been cautious, said: "Ah Xing's plan is very good, but you can't do business on a momentary impulse, I wonder if Ah Xing can let us take the plan back and think about it carefully?" ”
Ah Xing didn't plan to get a reply today, giving them a little more time to think about it, so that they could strengthen their confidence in cooperation. So, Ah Xing smiled and said, "Of course you can, but the time is pressing, please give me an answer as soon as possible!" ”
"Definitely, definitely." Everyone left with their plans.
Five days later, the bosses officially replied to Ah Xing, saying that they were very interested in Ah Xing's plan and were willing to participate in Ah Xing's plan.
The next day, Ah Xing signed contracts with six bosses. The total investment is 20,000 taels of silver, of which Ah Xing accounts for half and the rest account for the other half. According to their own experience, we contacted the manufacturers of all kinds of goods, A Xing did not dare to repeat the mistakes of Hu Lingxuan, and did not sign too harsh contracts with manufacturers, but signed a flexible contract, such as ordering one month in advance, and the order reached a certain amount of discounts, however, the price at the beginning would be slightly higher than that of Hu Lingxuan. But Ah Xing would rather earn less for herself than plant this time bomb for herself.
In terms of shops, because there are no big shops on Yongchang Street, and among the six bosses, Zhenbao Zhai, Silk Village, and the stores of the rouge gouache shop are connected, and the grocery store and the aquatic mountain goods shop are separated by a few shops. The area is larger than the Hu family's shop.
Everyone gathered firewood and the flame was high, and everyone worked together, and it only took a month for the Yongchang Department Store to open diagonally opposite the Hu family's store.
After a month of hard publicity, coupled with the support of famous actors such as Rong Zheng, Qiao Ying, and Jing Xian on the opening day, the popularity of the department store has reached an unprecedented high.
Ah Xing stood in the dense crowd, looking at Hu Lingxuan who was standing at the door of the Hu family's shop opposite and smiled coldly, Hu Lingxuan's face was as ugly as it was.
There's one more update today!
I recommend Gui Ye's "Little Things in the Qing Dynasty", which is a very good article.
