Chapter 138: Mutual Hunger
Xie Xun coveted Pei Youan's gold and silver treasures, and Pei Youan was also calculating Xie Xun's money-making shops.
He never thought that he was just going home to pick up people, and Xie Xun would change from the first gentleman in the capital to the first genius in the capital, not to mention, and he also opened many shops that laid golden eggs.
Donghai Department Store is a shop that makes money faster than he can make money by bandits, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a cash cow.
"He doesn't plan to be a gentleman at all!" Pei Youan snorted coldly and put down the tea bowl, "It seems that he used to be acting with us, but now he has finally shown his true colors!" ”
"I said a long time ago, he is not as simple as he seems on the surface, after all, we are underestimated......" Gao Shiqing lamented.
Pei Youan despised this emperor's hand-picked champion in his heart. Now that you know that it is a pig and a tiger, why are you still being calculated by that product?
Are you fathers and sons stupid?
During his absence, the Gao family lost too badly. Although the Gao family was weakened, it was more beneficial to the Pei family. Now Gao Shiqing has come to visit him, changed his previous arrogant attitude, and even married the daughter of the Pei family as his wife. With this in-law, the Pei and Gao families were become a rope. But when he thought that the proud person was Xie Xun who harmed him, he couldn't help but be angry.
"Xie Xun has a chain store of noble women's clothing, we must participate in it!" Pei Youan clenched his fist and tapped it on the table, "We not only want to participate in the shares, but also participate as much as possible." Only by becoming a large shareholder can we intervene in the daily operation of the store. ”
Small shareholders, forget it after handing over the silver, big shareholders, according to the rules of business, have a certain right to speak, and can even check the account books of the shop.
"I heard that there is a kind of machine in Xie's garment workshop, even a rough farmer can embroider a robe that can only be made by a skilled embroiderer, I don't know if it's true or not?"
This matter has spread all over the capital. This is also an important reason why Pei Youan wants to be a big shareholder of a "noble girl". The way the shop operates is easy to learn, but it's really not good, and you can always get a seven-eight-point portrait according to the cat and the tiger.
For example, the East China Sea Department Store, isn't it just to gather goods, lower the purchase price, and make small profits but quick turnover!
Such a department store can be opened if there is local power. The Pei family also had staff members who suggested that Southwest Hou open such a department store, but later some staff members made a more accurate analysis of the profits of Donghai Department Store and found that what Donghai Department Store really made money was not those popular items, but the strange goods made by Xie's workshop. For example, bicycles, multi-wheeled bicycles, soaps, soaps, shampoos, ice cream, shaved ice, and ice cream, which everyone loves to eat in summer......
Ice cream and shaved ice are slightly easier to make, and there are already merchants in the southwestern cities making them. The only difference is that those merchants who deal in ice drinks do not know how to make ice, and the price is dozens of times that of Tokai Department Store, and ordinary people can't afford to eat it.
Soaps, soaps and shampoos, which have not yet been thoroughly formulated by merchants, are basically purchased in the Donghai Department Store and sold to the southwest. Every time there is a freight to the towns in the southwest, it is sold out before entering the city gate.
Pei's father and son dreamed of learning these techniques.
However, the Xie family's workshop not only had the government soldiers on the surface, but also countless secret guards were deployed, and the Pei family sent several groups of people to inquire about the news, but they all returned in vain.
Pei Youan then started the idea of a shareholder. When he became a big shareholder, he could justifiably propose to visit the workshop. If he was not allowed to go, he took other shareholders to make trouble, and the city was full of wind and rain......
Gao Shiqing was slightly stunned, Pei Youan could have such insight, which really surprised him.
Pei Youan used to be in the southwest, he was leading troops, and he was focused on military affairs, so he shouldn't know much about business, so how could he hit the key point as soon as he made a move?
Pei Youan does know very little about business, but some of the staff in the house understand~
When he came to Beijing, his father Nannan Hou gave him almost all the staff in the house, considering the treacherous situation in the capital, and after a while, several uncles in the family would also come to help.
As for Xie's secret techniques, his father specially told him that he must find a way to get them.
What my father wanted most was paper armor building, which could be used in military affairs. However, my father also knew that the Xie family would inevitably cover the ground tightly with this thing, and maybe whoever touched it would die.
The second is the mechanical bracket of the bicycle. As soon as the bicycle arrived in my father's hands, my father fell in love with it, and even threw his sweaty BMW aside, and rode the bicycle to the barracks every day, even if the roads in the southwest towns were rugged and not very stable. My father even brought in a craftsman and wanted to imitate it.
But there is a baffle on the pedal part of the bicycle, and there is an anti-demolition mechanism, once the baffle is removed, all the parts in the entire baffle are broken. My father found countless machine brackets, but he couldn't crack the anti-demolition mechanism.
When he decided to sell bicycles and multi-wheelers, Xie Xun considered how to prevent piracy.
In modern times, piracy is still flying all over the sky, let alone ancient times when there was no concept of copyright?
If imitation cannot be eradicated, wouldn't Xie Xun only make money from a batch of goods with the advanced technology he brought from modern times, so he made wedding clothes for those counterfeiters?
The Xie family has an old mechanic who is a descendant of the Mo family, and the two worked together for three nights to study it, and finally made the anti-demolition mechanism and put an end to the imitation!
Pei Youan was on the road, in addition to suppressing bandits, he was discussing with his staff how to get Xie's secret skills.
No, just a few days after entering Beijing, the morning newspaper published the news of the noble girl's recruitment of shareholders.
God helps the Pei family, how can Pei Youan let go of the heaven-given opportunity?
Looking at the stunned look on Gao Shiqing's face, Pei Youan couldn't help but feel a little proud.
This so-called champion is not very good!
It seems that in the future, the battle of the four princes for the succession will be dominated by his Pei family!
Although he was forced to come to the capital and disrupted his original life plan, he was still a little excited to be able to show his talents in this part of the capital.
"The four princes and I both want to participate in the shares, but we really can't take out two ...... of silver in our hands," Gao Shiqing said this, his face flushed, revealing a look of shame.
This is the reason why he came to visit today, to borrow money from the Pei family for him and the four princes!
Gao Shiqing never dreamed that Pei You'an would return to the southwest for a while, but he would be so down.
This is all Xie Xun's fault!
He couldn't wait to drink Xie Xun's blood, eat Xie Xun's meat, and grind his teeth when he slept at night.
Pei Youan laughed, feeling extremely happy. He tapped Gao Shiqing on the shoulder twice.
"The silver is now what my Pei family has. How about lending you and the four princes a million taels each? ”
The bandits on the road, the account office has calculated, at least 10 million taels, not including those jewelry that have not yet been sold, it should not be a problem to sell another 3 or 4 million taels. Now he is really wealthy~
However, when they sent a steward to the noble prince to pay the money, they got bad news.
The noble women's clothing chain store only accepts a maximum of 100,000 taels of silver per household!
The housekeeper of the Pei family shouted, "If someone doesn't accept the silver, will Xie Shizi do business?" No, just don't open a shop! ”
