Chapter 137: Minister Lara
After walking around the free trade market for more than an hour, I finally bought a chew for Lingjiao, and I also wanted to buy something for Wanpei, but it didn't seem that there was anything too high-grade. Chiba Castle's reputation is only for high-end goods trade, and it really took a turn to know that high-end goods are the mainstream, but it doesn't boycott mass goods, as long as it's not too low-end. I watched two refugees who didn't know how to get in sell expired canned food everywhere, and they were directly arrested by the market management and guards, and I guess it didn't end well.
The market is too big, I want to go around the storefronts and shops, even if I don't eat, drink, sleep, and don't sleep, I can't do it at all without a week, so I handed over the work of visiting the shops to Ling Die and Yelu, anyway, girls are born to love shopping, so I will do market research by the way.
After that, we only looked for large shops, and after looking at two, I came to the conclusion that most of the main goods distributed by the large shops here were food and fresh water wholesale.
It turns out that the wholesale of survival materials is the mainstream commodity in the free trade market, which is just in line with the business scope of the Sichun Alliance.
We also carefully walked through the largest shops, and after statistics and inquiries, their main sales materials are fresh water, which is divided into two prices according to the degree of purity.
Absolutely pure fresh water is the most expensive, the price is the same as when I exchanged Chiba coins at the Doufu Building, and each serving of fresh water, which is 1 cubic meter, costs 1 Chiba coin. Small and medium-sized shops are sold at least 10 copies, and large shops are sold at least 100 copies.
Businesses that run pure freshwater have access to a water source, which is like an automatic money printing machine, but the print run is very limited. The maximum daily flow of the water source is fixed: 50 cubic meters. For someone like me, who has a water source in his hand, he really doesn't have enough capital to open a store here.
Sewage is much cheaper, between 50 and 1 percent of pure fresh water, which is only bought by merchants who specialize in the sewage trade, who sell it to poorly sourced places for a profit.
It can be seen that neither the freshwater nor the sewage business is suitable for me.
In addition to the freshwater market, the wholesale food market is also very popular. The food here does not look at the quality, only look at the "calorie", the so-called "calorie" is the survival attribute that each serving of food can recover, the more it recovers, the higher the price, on the contrary, if it is not restored much, even if the taste is good and precious, it will not be sold at a high price here, and it will be sold in the Chiba Trade Hall before anyone can recognize the goods.
Most of the wholesale food here is organic food synthesized by some kind of high-tech, and it looks like a piece of tofu, and I specially tasted a piece, and the taste is not as good as tofu.
I have a relatively large reserve of food, but it can't meet the wholesale demand here, and my reserve food is relatively high-end, so it's too much of a loss to sell here. In this case, the food market is not for me.
I have excluded the two mainstream products of freshwater and food, so I have no room to operate in the free trade market?
Lingjiao means ~
"Fei Ye~~~"
Yes, I still found a glimmer of business opportunity, that is, the gap in agricultural products!
Agricultural products belong to the food category, at present, the Sichun Alliance has completed the large-scale planting experiment of vegetables, and the large-scale agricultural base calibrated in the ice has also begun to be built, which is a resource regeneration project with super production capacity.
I can use this resource to fill the gap in the Chiba Castle free trade market!
As a native species, vegetables have the potential for deep processing in addition to the functional role of restoring survival attributes like general food, and as long as the price is reasonable, there will be a very large market.
It will take some time for the agricultural base to be built, it will take some time to produce large quantities of agricultural products, and the transportation problem from Bingzhen to Chiba Castle also needs to be solved, and now the construction company of Linghuo is very busy and has no time to take care of it, so I decided to set up a booth in the free trade market first, drip water, feel the road, and light up the signboard.
During the lunch break, I called everyone into the car for lunch, and I took advantage of the lunch to express my thoughts.
Not surprisingly, these goods have always only nodded in support and have no opinions.
I asked Wanpei, "Do you have any ideas?" β
Wanpei has always taken giving me face as the basic principle in public, I don't ask, and she never takes the initiative to show off.
Listening to my question, Wanpei naturally had to say something, and didn't dare to hide her secrets.
"I don't think you need to be too conservative, master, although you only want to open up the sales channels for agricultural products at the moment, but no one can say what other types of resources we will have in the future. Therefore, I think if you want to lay a foundation, you might as well expand your business scope, open a few more stores or open a large comprehensive store, and fully enter the arms, medicine, minerals, and daily necessities industries. β
Wan Pei has always had a problem with a high level of vision, and this suggestion still has traces of this, but unlike the previous unrealistic, this time I think what she said is very reasonable, and there is a certain degree of feasibility.
I muttered: "Yes~ Especially in terms of arms, the free trade market is not operating at all, this situation is estimated to be related to the monopoly of the Tang Empire, others dare not touch it, but I have stumbled with them, what else is there to take care of, we do have a batch of arms in our hands, and we are worried that there is no place to deal with it." β
Wan Pei saw that I adopted her opinion, and hummed a little song proudly, I said don't be beautiful, everyone is full, that afternoon, go separately, call all the people in the family over, find a suitable location for me in the market, see which shops to withdraw, no matter the size of the place, give me the first occupation!
I arranged for Wan Pei separately: "In the afternoon, let's go alone, and also go to the field to see the situation, if it is really possible, I will transfer people to build a shopping mall and establish a fixed base here." β
Wan Pei looked like a fan girl: "My master is the most powerful~"
I said don't worry, it's not too late to lick it after it's done.
Wan Pei came over and whispered: "Don't wait for it to happen, just wait for the room to go back~"
My nose was about to burst into flames: "Then go back now!"
Wanpei naughty tongue sticking out: "Don't be~"
It's a hearty lunch, it's a beautiful woman, it's a big plan, and although I don't have a nap, my spirit is still full and sufficient.
In the afternoon, Wan Pei and I took Lingjiao and a group of guards to start selecting a site for the shop. The free trade market occupies a total of three streets, and the rule here is that the open space on both sides of the road can be used as you like, but you only have the right to use it for seven days, and if you want to use it for a long time, you have to register with the Ministry of Commerce and pay a fee. The marketing routine is quite traditional.
There is no need to be verbose in the process of finding land, Lingjiao was chewed by me, as long as it does not open its mouth, there is nothing messy, I and other personnel from all walks of life spent an afternoon, occupied five shop stalls, and reached an agreement with more than a dozen stall owners who are about to withdraw, with ten yuan, that is, ten thousand leaf coins in exchange for their advance notice before withdrawing, although there are many stalls in the free trade market, but the competition is still quite fierce, especially if you want to occupy a piece of connected lots, it is necessary to complement the timing and operation, please refer to the Monopoly game for specific detailsγ
The next day, Ling Die Yelu and the others continued to search for the storefront, and I found Bai Jin and asked to register in Chiba City and prepare for long-term operation.
Bai Jin personally drove us to the Commerce Department of the Doufu Chamber of Commerce, reminding me that as long as I showed the VIP medal, there would naturally be someone to arrange it.
Wan Pei took out the medal and asked me to bring it to my chest.
"NONO, THIS IS TOO LOW-KEY. I took off my hat and took the medal as a cockade, and then said to Wanpei: "Na, so that everyone can see it~"
Wan Pei smiled: "It's eye-catching enough, it's just a little stupid~"
Lingjiao also clutched the chew on his mouth and let out a strange laugh of HOHOHO.
I was about to get together these two ignorant people, but I saw a group of people walking down the spiral staircase to the hall on the first floor, and one of the leading gentlemen greeted me from afar with a sissy voice: "Distinguished guests, welcome to the Doufu Ministry of Commerce, I am Minister Lala, serving you wholeheartedly~"
The name and tone of this voice are on par with Bubbles, and it is estimated that they will be able to survive if they meet.
I said proudly to Wan Pei Lingjiao: "How about it, it's eye-catching enough." Then I took the initiative to shake hands with Lala, and I was not so polite to change someone else, I really understood the difficulties of these departments with the power to handle the certificate, and I had to be soft.
Lala, who was wearing heavy makeup and was about to drop powder when she walked, came closer, looked at my hand, hesitated for a long time before reaching out, and touched my hand like a child.
I know that they have a lot of quirks in this style of painting, and I don't care about it, so I said generously: "Minister Lala is polite, I am the leader of the Sichun Alliance, I am the leader of the Sichun Alliance, I am a newcomer, and I want to operate on your guild's business platform, and I have to trouble Minister Lalara to make it convenient." β
Lala took out a handkerchief to cover her mouth and sneered: "I have never seen such a polite VIP, the leader of the Spring League is so energetic and cultivated." Don't worry about business matters, as long as you comply with the rules of the process, don't rush your VIP status, only your character, I have to take care of it with all my might~"
It's really nothing to be happy to be praised by such a sissy, but my trip is focused on success, and I can't delay the business because of temporary likes and dislikes.
So I smiled and said, "Then there is labor, I must remember the affection of Brother Lala." β
Lala, who was still smiling just now, suddenly turned cold: "What do you say?"
I was shocked: "I said remember affection......"
"Ahead!"
"Lala?"
"Back!"
"Brother?"
Lala Lanhua pointed at me: "Demon ~~ Who is your brother, a serious old lady~"
Heh~ This one is more than a bubble to enter the play~
