Chapter 4 The Emperor's Suite
Emperor Qianwu: "......"
Gao Dali: "......"
Well, it sounds like it really makes sense.
If it weren't for the special status of the two of them, I have to admit that other people would really have listened to this fool.
It is foreseeable that there will be a lot of people who will buy.
Emperor Qianwu really wanted to catch Li Changfeng's ears, so he used his name to do things casually.
But it's not easy to reveal his identity, and this tea is indeed very good, this kid is still a bit business-minded.
Li Changfeng said: "Your Excellency, how about it, if you are willing to buy it on a large scale, this prince can call the shots and give you a preferential discount, 100,000 taels can buy 2,000 boxes, which is equivalent to 50,000 boxes, which is very affordable." And this prince can also set up a few advertising slogans for you. ”
"Advertising slogan?" Emperor Qianwu and Gao Dali found that they had touched their knowledge blind spots again, what kind of thing is this?
"That's right, the advertising slogan is a promotional technique for tea, so that others can know the benefits of small imperial tea and sell it more easily."
Li Changfeng smiled slightly, and said slowly: "For example: born from innovation, for subversion, eight Taidou-level palace tea-making masters of six major tea categories, with special raw materials and traditional craftsmanship, go through 36 steps to jointly create master-level big dry and small imperial tea." ”
"One box and one brew, eight famous teas, to meet a variety of taste preferences, thousands of years of inheritance of palace masters handmade tea, showing the essence of tea, master-level high-end small royal tea, your choice of taste."
"One tea, one box, one brew, enjoy a comfortable life, Daqian high-end good tea and small royal tea, the palace tea master has worked hard to innovate and create, showing the essence of traditional famous tea, and making good tea with heart - small royal tea."
"After dinner, the little imperial tea, the race over the emperor's house."
Emperor Qianwu and Gao Dali were shocked when they heard it, and this advertising slogan was really a second.
As Li Changfeng said, people who can afford to buy a box of 66 taels of small imperial tea are either rich or expensive, and they may not necessarily believe it when introduced.
But according to this advertising slogan to promote, the content of the copy is really exquisite, and it has attracted many princes and nobles as soon as I hear it, not to mention the six big characters of the palace tea master, which are combined together, makes people have the urge to buy.
Emperor Qianwu secretly gritted his teeth, and immediately said, "His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes, I am willing to buy it." It's just that you also know that it's dangerous to go out, and the two of us don't dare to bring so much money with us, so we only brought five thousand taels. ”
I don't want the child to catch the wolf, don't spend some money, and it's not good to ask how the evil beasts outside the city were annihilated.
It's a big deal to use your own internal money, the world has been a lot more peaceful in the past two years, and the internal money has also accumulated some, and when you go back to take the small royal tea back to the capital and sell it, you won't lose money at all.
The advertising slogan of this little imperial tea can even fool itself, let alone others, and it will definitely be sold.
It's just that 100,000 taels can't be 100,000 taels, even if he is the emperor, the sum of his internal money doesn't add up to 50,000 taels, where does the 100,000 taels come from, at most he can take 5,000 taels and deal with it.
As soon as he heard that this big deal of 100,000 taels had been negotiated like this, Li Changfeng was also stunned, originally he thought that these two Xiazhou businessmen who were suspected of secretly visiting and inspecting officials would bargain fiercely, and he was also ready to be bargained, but he didn't expect the other party to agree directly.
My goodness, after the discount, it will cost fifty taels a box, are all the merchants in Xiazhou so rich?
Could it be that they are really not the patrol officers of the secret visit?
Li Changfeng didn't doubt that the two of them only had 5,000 taels on them, and now the world seems to be peaceful on the surface, but in fact it is still very chaotic, isn't it death to go out with so much money?
He waved his hand and said very generously: "It's okay, five thousand taels is fine, just pay a deposit." And considering the long distance, it will take at least a month to go back this time, and it will be a long time for you to go back and withdraw the money, so it is better to get a loan here first, the interest rate is very low, and the monthly interest is only three points. Oh, that is to say, the monthly interest per 10,000 taels is only 3,000 taels, and there is a discount for now, with a one-month interest-free period. ”
Don't look at the interest rate of three cents, it is simply a usury that sucks blood without blinking, but in this era, it is a great conscience.
You must know that the interest rate of private loans is frighteningly high, and the interest is often higher than the principal, which can be said to be a loan of 10,000 taels, and the interest that needs to be repaid is several times higher than the principal.
In the past ten years, in order to rapidly develop the business of Baishi City, Li Changfeng had no choice but to carry out loan services, and sold the products developed by Baishi City, such as small imperial tea, to various places, often only charging a small deposit, and the rest was sold to those merchants in the form of loans.
In this way, you can sell more goods and make more money.
Of course, this is actually just a left-handed to right-handed, and there has never been a loan or two at all, and the cost price of the goods is not more than half of the deposit.
For example, the small royal tea, the publicity is so powerful, in fact, the cost price plus the outside brocade box is not more than two taels, those tea leaves are only one or two can buy more than a dozen catties of ordinary tea, but after a special method of frying, so it is particularly fragrant.
That is, the gilt brocade box is more expensive, accounting for most of the cost, and it takes one or two more, but it can be sold to the dealer for a full fifty taels and one small box.
This time, even if it is only 5,000 taels, it is a big profit, and the cost price is not more than 2,000 taels.
Moreover, Li Changfeng is not afraid that those businessmen dare to owe money and not pay it back, not to mention that he is the Nine Emperor Princes and has his back to the royal family, which businessman dares to deceive himself.
What's more, he still has many means to be held accountable.
It is thanks to this loan service that White Rock has been able to develop to this point in just ten years.
Loan?
Emperor Qianwu and Gao Dali were taken aback, they didn't expect that this little Baishi City still had a loan, and it was only such a low interest, it was simply a conscience.
Immediately, Emperor Qianwu signed the pseudonym 'Li Qian' under the loan contract drafted by Master Baishicheng.
"Come on, Lao Li, Lao Gao, you take this contract, face the camera, oh, that's that thing, laugh. Yes, come, one, two, three, eggplant~"
Under Li Changfeng's command, Emperor Qianwu and Gao Dali each grabbed one side of the contract, and smiled towards a special box-framed box.
Later, Zhao Yong pressed the shutter.
A dazzling light flashed, Gao Dali was taken aback, where had he seen such a thing, hurriedly blocked in front of Emperor Qianwu, and said in a panic: "There is an assassin, Your Majesty...... Sir, go away! ”
Emperor Qianwu also subconsciously took precautions, looking like he was ready for battle.
Li Changfeng waved his hand casually in surprise: "Don't panic, you two, there is nothing here at this moment, this is a camera, that is, something to take pictures." ”
"Camera?"
Emperor Qianwu and Gao Dali glanced at each other, very dazed.
Li Changfeng didn't explain, he accepted the deposit of 5,000 taels and the contract with satisfaction, and the more he looked at the two, the more he liked them, and said happily: "The two of you have a happy cooperation." As the host, I would like to invite you to try the special services here. Heaven and earth is the best place in the whole Daqian, but it is much better than the eight alleys in the capital, and there is a unique pole dance performance in the world. ”
Although I don't know what pole dancing is, what good things can be in the performance in the Qinglou.
Emperor Qianwu hurriedly waved his hand: "Thank you, Your Royal Highness the Ninth Emperor Prince, for your kindness." ”
"That's a shame." Li Changfeng sighed and was about to say something, when suddenly, an earth-shattering loud bang exploded violently, startling everyone.
Emperor Qianwu and Gao Dali were shocked and suspicious, and when they peeked out of the window, they clearly saw a big sun on their heads, cloudless, where did the thunderbolt come from?
At this moment, a subordinate hurriedly ran up, panting and said, "Oh no, Your Highness, there was an accident when the scientific research institute was testing artillery." ”
Hearing this, Li Changfeng's face changed: "Damn, why did there be an accident, hurry up and bring this prince over." ”
But as if he remembered something, Li Changfeng smiled apologetically at Emperor Qianwu and Gao Dali: "Lao Li, Lao Gao, I'm sorry, His Royal Highness suddenly has a little urgent matter to do, so I won't entertain you personally." Lao Zhao, greet the two distinguished guests. ”
After saying a word, the person had already hurried out.
Emperor Qianwu and Gao Dali glanced at each other, and it was obvious that the thunderbolt just now should be related to the so-called test artillery accident in Li Changfeng's mouth.
But what is artillery?
Emperor Qianwu looked at Zhao Yong, who was greeting him next to him, so he stepped forward and asked, "Lord Zhao, Xiaomin asked curiously, what happened just now?" Why did you suddenly hear such a loud bang? ”
Zhao Yong didn't answer directly, but said with a haha: "This official doesn't know." Two distinguished guests, why don't you ask Mommy to call a few beautiful ones for you to accompany you? ”
"No, no."
The two even refused.
"Okay, then the official will take the two of you to the Peace Hotel to rest for a while, and then arrange other programs in the evening." Zhao Yong said.
"Very good."
The two of them traveled all the way to White Rock City, and they also felt a little hungry, just in time for a meal.
Along the bustling central avenue, all the way to a five-storey building in the center of the city, Emperor Qianwu and Gao Dali looked at the particularly magnificent Peace Hotel, and sighed: "Baishi City is really prosperous, even the restaurants are so magnificent, and I have not seen a few such magnificent restaurants in the capital." ”
At this time, an official official sent over and whispered something in Zhao Yong's ear, and Zhao Yong had to confess and leave: "Two of you, don't mean it, this official is in a hurry to leave in advance." By the way, this is our White Rock City, which is the best inn in the entire Wasteland, and the two of you can stay here tonight. ”
After saying that, he hurriedly left with the guards.
Entering the Peace Hotel, Emperor Qianwu and Gao Dali looked at the empty restaurant on the first floor, and there were no customers, so they couldn't help but look at the shopkeeper suspiciously: "Shopkeeper, isn't this the center of the city?" Why didn't anyone come over to drink and eat? ”
The shopkeeper was already surprised, and said with a smile: "Two guest officers, you know at a glance that they are from other places." It's non-dining time, and our Peace Hotel is only open during three hours: hour, noon, and unitary time. ”
Emperor Qianwu held back his hungry stomach and wondered, "Why do you want to separate three time periods, instead of opening all day?" ”
The shopkeeper said: "This is requested by His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes, His Royal Highness said that the Peace Hotel is the first five-star hotel in Baishi City and the entire Daqian, so as a five-star hotel, it must have a corresponding high-end force." Oh, the two guest officers may not know, star is a concept proposed by His Royal Highness, according to the star rating to divide the level of the inn, the more high-end the inn, the higher the star rating, and the Peace Hotel is the only five-star. ”
Sure enough, it was Xiao Jiu's kid who got it.
The corners of Emperor Qianwu's mouth twitched, and he said directly to the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, arrange me the best guest room." ”
The shopkeeper smiled: "The guest officer is really knowledgeable, and it just so happens that the emperor's suite is vacant tonight, so I will pay eight hundred and eighty-eight taels." ”
Emperor Qianwu and Gao Dali were stunned.
Eight hundred and eighty-eight two nights?
Grab the money!
Gao Dali immediately said angrily: "Eight hundred and eighty-eight two nights, isn't this a robbery of money?" ”
Even if it is the No. 1 room of those famous inns in the capital, it is not so expensive.
The shopkeeper glanced at Gao Dali strangely: "This guest officer laughed, how can you grab so much money." ”
Emperor Qianwu: "......"
Gao Dali: "......"
It makes sense, they have nothing to say.
