Chapter Ninety-Seven: So Generous
Zhou Yang glanced at Zhao Wuyang, and Zhao Wuyang also looked over there with understanding, and nodded lightly after seeing those gangsters.
Several of the guards also quietly leaned towards the crowd.
In the blink of an eye, the gangsters who threatened passers-by in the crowd were directly pressed down by these guards and quietly dragged out of the crowd.
After clearing these gangsters, the people in the crowd made a slight move, and everyone looked curiously into the store.
The reason why these people gathered here early in the morning was to see what the so-called grocery store of the house could sell.
"Do you think it's all gold, silver, jewelry, jade, and antiques for sale here?"
"That's not it, no matter how you say it, people are also expensive to open a grocery store for the prince and His Royal Highness, and the groceries in the palace must be made by the business!"
"In this way, we can't afford to buy the things in here, alas, at most, we can only feast our eyes, and we can also see the treasures in this palace, and it can be regarded as an eye-opener!"
A few people were talking about it there, and in their hearts, there was an inexplicable sense of distance from the grocery store opened by the prince.
After all, ordinary people like them on weekdays, if they can see an official of six or seven grades, they are already big officials.
They didn't dare to think of this majestic prince at all, and when they were able to see this seventh prince here today, they all felt that they would be able to blow it well after they went back.
When I saw these people, they were just looking at them with their brains probed there, and they didn't mean to go in.
This can make Zhang Laosan anxious, if the opening of this store is not good today, then he will not have the face to stay here again in the future.
After all, I have been doing business on this street for so many years, and I can't even get customers when I open.
"Your Highness the Seventh, do you want to give these people a little bit of color, at least let them go inside and have a look!"
Zhang Laosan whispered and asked Zhou Yang for instructions.
"Yes, but anyone who enters the store will get a free soap."
Hearing Zhou Yang say this, Zhang Laosan was stunned for a moment.
At this time, he remembered that he was busy or opened, although he pulled all the goods back and put them on the counter, but he forgot to ask Zhou Yang how the pricing of such goods was.
However, in his own guess, it was actually the things sold by the Seventh Prince, and the price would definitely not be cheap, not to mention that it would have to be above three or five taels.
You must know that in this era, although three or five taels of silver are nothing in the eyes of the powerful, but in the hands of ordinary people, it is enough for the basic expenses of a family for a year.
"I'm afraid that's not right, right?"
"A piece of soap per person, so many people, wouldn't we have to pay ...... today?"
Zhang Laosan looked up at the crowd in front of him as he spoke, calculating in his heart how much money he might lose today if he really did this?
Looking at the dense crowd in front of him, there were nearly 2,000 people, so if you calculate it, you will have to lose almost 10,000 taels of silver on the first day of opening.
Tens of thousands of taels of silver, this is not a small amount, Zhang Laosan no matter what, he can't accept it.
Although this is not his own silver, he also feels distressed.
To say that he followed Zhou Yang, it was just to help transmit information from Liu Qian, and he didn't have too deep feelings with Zhou Yang.
Even after Zhou Yang left the capital, he and he didn't have much intersection, at most, they only learned some news about Zhou Yang when passing on information.
But Zhou Yang was in this restaurant a few days ago, and what he did made Zhang Laosan obviously feel that this Seventh Prince was a good person.
Therefore, he can't be the master in some things, so he can only do what Gonggong Liu instructs, but in this kind of loss of money, he feels that he still needs to stop Zhou Yang.
It's okay to be a powerless and powerless prince, but if you become a powerless and powerless prince with no money, wouldn't it be even more miserable.
Liu Laosan was still thinking about worrying about Zhou Yang at this time, but he didn't expect that Zhou Yang would be much more shrewd than he imagined.
"Just do what I say!"
"Isn't it just a piece of soap per person, which doesn't have much silver, let alone one piece per person, even if it's two pieces per person."
"Bengong can guarantee that they will definitely buy it again after they use it up, and they won't earn the money posted in front of them when they buy it in the future!"
Zhou Yang waved his hand, looking indifferent.
He was also muttering in his heart, these things are not worth much money anyway, and the highest cost of these soaps is also some spices.
But when it comes to each piece of soap, it's just the cost of a copper plate.
In total, there are less than two copper plates of soap, and Zhou Yang plans to sell it for two dollars of silver, and if you calculate it here, it will be a hundred times the profit.
With such profits, Zhou Yang already felt that he was a profiteer.
Even if all these people were given soap, it would only be a few taels of silver when it was full.
And what Zhou Yang wants to give is the most basic kind, some special fragrances, and the cost of exquisite soap is only a penny of silver at most.
However, Zhou Yang's plan is to sell twenty taels of silver, and the money earned by these soaps is naturally those powerful families with many stupid people.
Hearing what Zhou Yang said about the cost price of goods, Zhang Laosan couldn't help but take a breath.
The profit from opening a restaurant in this capital before was already good, and it could reach six or seven percent.
I didn't expect that Zhou Yang would open a grocery store casually, and the things would be sold so cheaply, and the profit would be as much as a hundred times.
The most important thing is that down to the common people, up to the officials and nobles, can be consumed here.
There are also low-priced ones, and there are high-priced ones, and the high-priced ones are definitely worthy of the status of those high-ranking officials and nobles.
After receiving Zhou Yang's instructions, Zhang Laosan also shouted a few loudly in his heart, and suddenly the people who were watching were also excited.
The Seven Princes opened a grocery store and gave them away for free, which is really wealthy.
If you can casually receive a commodity from the grocery store of the Seven Princes, it is definitely worth a lot, and this is a business that is sure to make money without losing money.
Suddenly, the onlookers seemed to be crazy and poured into the grocery store.
All of a sudden, the grocery store was crowded and full, and there were quite a few people queuing up outside, waiting for the people inside to come out and go in and have a look.
Anyway, you don't need money to go in, and you give them away for free, everyone is willing.
