65. Branch plan
"Let's go to the third floor."
The clothes and jewelry worn by the guests on the second floor are generally better than those on the first floor, and it is no wonder that the goods on the second floor that can be consumed are not ordinary people.
The third floor is designed as a place to meet guests, there are places for discussing business, some are private places where guests need to tailor their customized clothes, and they are also located on the third floor, or if there are guests who want to process jewelry and have special needs, the place for negotiation can be on the third floor. When designing the third floor, Mu Qingwan also deliberately left a room in case she came to the capital and had a place to rest when she settled in Linlang Pavilion.
The room was close to the street, with a window open to see out and some distance from the rest.
At that time, I had already told the big shopkeeper that the reserved room was not open to the public, and it was only used for Mu Qingwan to settle here in the future. Therefore, no one has used it since it was built.
The group entered the room, the room space was large enough, near the window was a table, and a cabinet was placed against the wall, in which a booklet was neatly placed, which should be the account book of Linlang Pavilion, and there was a soft couch for resting in the corner of the room. It has been three or four years since the Linlang Pavilion was built, and no one has used this room all the time, so there are very few things in it. But because there has always been a Liao shopkeeper who often cleans, the room is very clean.
"Miss, the room has been cleaned by the minions themselves, and no one else has ever done it. The ledger is all in the cabinet, because no one is using the room, so there are basically no objects placed at the moment, you see what you need, and tell the servants to do it. ”
The shopkeeper Liao followed behind Mu Qingwan and the others, and when Mu Qingwan sat down at the table, he stepped forward to say goodbye.
"Well, I'll tell you when I'm done."
"I just arrived in the capital not long ago, this is the first time I came to Linlang Pavilion, I just saw it, the guys in the store are very smart, here is better than expected, hard work Liao shopkeeper."
Mu Qingwan thanked the shopkeeper Liao.
"Miss can't help it, it's really tormenting the slave, these are the duties of the slave."
Shopkeeper Liao was shocked by Mu Qingwan's words, although he had been Mrs. Mu's manager since his father's generation, and later because he could be alone in this regard, Mrs. Mu pointed herself out to Mu Qingwan. At that time, I didn't expect that Linlang Pavilion's business would do so well, and it was simply a daily profit. For this young lady who has never met before, Shopkeeper Liao is also very impressed in his heart, and his business mind is not lost to Mrs. Mu. As the big shopkeeper of Linlang Pavilion, Liao has never slackened, nor has he made great contributions because of his achievements. Mu Qingwan's words of thanks made Steward Liao both excited and nervous.
"Steward Liao doesn't have to be polite, Qingwan is still young, and where he doesn't do enough, he still needs to be in charge."
Mu Qingwan is really grateful to these people in her heart, Linlang Pavilion has only been open for three years, but it has become a signboard in the capital, which is inseparable from the credit of these people in Liao Steward. Like other local businesses, Linlangge reports to Mu Qingwan every six months, because Mu Qingwan adopts the business model of "front store and back factory", and each part has an independent account book, so the chance of making fake accounts is very small. Liao's account book is very clear, and the income and expenditure are clearly recorded.
"It's all what a minion should do."
The attitude of the shopkeeper Liao is very humble and he has never dared to exaggerate.
"I'm going to bring you some tea."
Shopkeeper Liao stepped back, and after a while, he brought tea and snacks.
Mu Qingwan beckoned Mu Yan to play by herself first, and then flipped through the account book by herself.
The products of Linlang Pavilion are mainly aimed at the middle and upper class people, and the prices are not cheap, because the styles are novel, and they will regularly introduce new products, so they attract a large number of customers, and the monthly income is not less than one million taels of silver. Of course, we must also see the cost behind it, the ancient transportation was backward, and the goods transported from Pingcheng needed to hire caravans or dart boards, and after thousands of miles of distance, they were transported to the capital for thousands of miles. A piece of jewelry priced at 1,000 taels can take up to several months from design to finishing. A piece of clothing of several hundred taels, from the selection of materials to sewing, has put a lot of effort into the embroidery threads and stitches on it...... Behind the Linlang Pavilion, a large number of experienced masters or embroiderers are needed, and the manpower and material resources invested in them are huge. In addition to various costs, Mu Qingwan actually got only a few hundred thousand taels.
Mu Qingwan realized this problem very early, the cost behind Linlang Pavilion is very high, and what if the market in the capital is saturated one day? After all, the capital is a place of power, and Mu Qingwan is worried that Linlang Pavilion will attract the attention of others sooner or later in this capital where every inch of land is valuable, so Mu Qingwan has never been able to let go...... In fact, Mu Qingwan already had a plan to open a branch in her heart, and she could open a branch in the source of goods or nearby places to reduce transportation costs...... Mu Qingwan has been in Jiangnan for a period of time, Jiangnan is more golden, the development of the market is more sound, the consumption power of the local people is not lower than that of the capital, Linlang Pavilion opened to Jiangnan, there are both challenges and opportunities. Mu Qingwan intends to open the first branch of Linlangge in Jiangnan.
Linlang Pavilion needs experienced people to guide it when it opens a branch, and this person, Mu Qingwan already has a plan in her heart.
"Hu Zhao, go and ask Shopkeeper Liao to come over."
"Yes, miss."
Shopkeeper Liao didn't know what the reason was, Mu Qingwan would call herself back.
"Shopkeeper Liao, Qingwan has a plan in her heart, and I want to tell you about it."
"Miss, please speak."
"I intend to open another Linlang Pavilion in Jiangnan, and I want to ask you to go over and guide the country, I don't know what you think?"
Mu Qingwan didn't beat around the bush, and went straight to the point with Shopkeeper Liao.
"Can a slave do this?"
Before the shopkeeper Liao became the big shopkeeper of Linlang Pavilion, he had always been helping under his father, and he thought that he was lucky enough to be the big shopkeeper of Linlang Pavilion, but he just opened the store to Jiangnan again? On the one hand, the competition in Jiangnan is fierce, and the shopkeeper Liao is worried that he may not be competent, on the other hand, the Linlang Pavilion in the capital has just been built, and the shopkeeper Liao does not want to hand over his achievements to others to take care of, although this is selfish, but after all, it is a project that he has spent a lot of effort on, just like his own child, and he must be reluctant to hand it over suddenly.
"Linlang Pavilion is also built from scratch in the capital, what can be done here, why can't it be done in Jiangnan. Jiangnan is a gathering place for businessmen, and if you accidentally lose all the plates, if Linlang Pavilion is not adapted to the water and soil in Jiangnan, it is possible to lose the essence, but what does it matter? I haven't tried it, how do you know it doesn't work. ”
When she spoke, Mu Qingwan's tone was very relaxed, as if she was talking about something unimportant.
"I believe that where there are challenges, there will be opportunities. It is true that there are many merchants in Jiangnan, but how many can catch up with Linlang Pavilion? ”
Mu Qingwan added another sentence, all revealing self-confidence and inevitable momentum.
"Maybe in the future, not only Jiangnan, but even Xuanguo and Zhou will have a place in Linlang Pavilion. Liao shopkeeper can't help but try it, if it is done, the Linlang Pavilion in Jiangnan will give you a penny of money, if it fails, it doesn't matter, in the Linlang Pavilion in the capital, the position of the big shopkeeper will always be reserved for you. ”
Mu Qingwan drew a big pie for Shopkeeper Liao, but it inspired Shopkeeper Liao's ambition and ambition.
