Xiao Yuelou couldn't sit still anymore.

Even though the two maids kept fanning him, and the cold honey had drunk two glasses, the sweat on his forehead still kept flowing down his fat face.

As soon as we enter May, the sun becomes rough, and the whole capital is like being roasted on a fire.

This kind of weather is not friendly to an obese person at all, but it is not the hot weather that makes Xiao Yuelou unable to sit still.

Business in Hechang Lou has deteriorated, and there are only two tables of guests today, and both tables are the same seats that were booked a few days ago.

Xiao Yuelou wiped the sweat from his forehead, and kept staring at the monkey-like person in front of him: "You mean that all reservations have been canceled in the past half a month?" ”

Although Hou Qu was thin, the sweat on his forehead at this time was by no means less than Xiao Yuelou, he lowered his head, and the sweat fell on the floor one by one.

"Back to the shopkeeper, I'm afraid it's not just this half-month ......" Speaking of this, Hou Qu smiled bitterly: "My subordinates guess that there will be only a few people who will come to dine with us in the next two months." ”

Xiao Yuelou was surprised: "Could it be that the ice in Qianqiu Restaurant is really inexhaustible?" ”

"This subordinate doesn't know, I only know that I haven't entered the Qianqiu Restaurant yet, even if I stand in front of the restaurant, I can feel the cool breeze, which is extremely refreshing. In contrast, who would like to dine in other restaurants? ”

Xiao Yuelou groaned, "How much ice do we have in our cellar? ”

Hou Qu shook his head: "If we use ice like Qianqiu Restaurant, within five days, the ice in the cellar will run out." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Yuelou only felt that his whole body was sweating and he couldn't wipe it out.

At this time, Hou Qu looked up at him again, but he stopped talking.

Xiao Yuelou wiped her sweat and said with a bitter face: "If you have anything to say, in my opinion, there is no worse news than this." ”

Hou Qu calmed down and replied softly: "Qianqiu Restaurant is now expanding even more, either directly acquiring the restaurant, or cooperating with other restaurants with Binghe Jiangjin Wine, in just three days, there are already thirteen restaurants under its banner. ”

Xiao Yuelou looked overjoyed: "In that case, why don't we cooperate with them?" ”

Hou Qu's face was as if he had eaten Coptis chinensis: "The other party agreed to cooperate, but the condition was that they would account for seventy percent of the restaurant's profits." ”

Xiao Yuelou sighed: "Her Royal Highness the princess put forward this condition, making it clear that she is not willing to cooperate with us. Then he was puzzled: "But Her Royal Highness the princess is doing this, aren't you afraid that King Qi and King Zhao will join those families to fight back?" ”

Hou Qu suddenly showed a sarcastic expression: "Three days ago, those families were cleaned up by Her Royal Highness the Princess, and now those people can't wait to offer Her Royal Highness the Princess like a living Bodhisattva, how dare they go against Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”

Xiao Yuelou exclaimed: "There is such a thing? What the hell is going on? ”

Midsummer is coming, he is obese, sweating after walking two steps, so he almost doesn't go out, and these days he is worried about the restaurant, so he rarely cares about the outside things, and now I hear that the Beijing family is actually cleaned up by Her Royal Highness the princess, and I can't help but be surprised.

Hou Qu said: "The shopkeeper must have heard that most of the families in the capital have obtained the right to distribute glass products in various states. ”

Xiao Yuelou nodded.

After the news of this incident came out, it immediately caused a sensation in the capital. Everyone thought that Su Shi was crazy, and such a lucrative business was willing to let them get involved, and some people even thought that Su Shi was showing favor to King Qi and King Zhao.

Hou Qu continued: "Three days ago, the jewelry store of Qianqiu Firm suddenly launched a so-called preferential activity, which originally sold for 3,000 taels of mirrors for only 300 taels, and bought a large mirror with two small mirrors and eight small wine glasses. ”

Xiao Yuelou's brows furrowed involuntarily, this kind of preferential means is not uncommon, but it is generally used when goods cannot be sold or when the stock is overstocked, and glass products are now in short supply, he really can't figure out why Qianqiu Firm would use this method to promote.

He couldn't help but wonder: "It is said that it is not easy to make glass products, and the Qianqiu firm does not have much inventory, so it will be restricted, and it will be supplied to various families for distribution, why do you adopt this strategy to sell?" ”

Hou Qu smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid that everyone will fall for Su Shi." ”

Xiao Yuelou was shocked again: "How can you say this?" ”

Hou Qu said: "On that day, from the opening to the closure of the jewelry store of Qianqiu Firm, all kinds of glass products were constantly put on the shelves, and it looked like there was a shortage of inventory. Therefore, it is said that many families found Her Royal Highness the princess on the same day. ”

Xiao Yuelou was stunned for a long time after hearing this, and after a long time he muttered: "It turns out that this is Her Royal Highness the Princess demonstrating. ”

Then he sighed again: "Presumably, after those families looked for the princess, the so-called preferential activities stopped. ”

Hou Qu nodded: "Yesterday, the prices of all glass products returned to before, and the daily sales quantity was also limited as before. ”

Xiao Yuelou suddenly felt a chill, and the sweat on her forehead also became cold sweat.

After so many years of business, he naturally understood the intention of Her Royal Highness the Princess's actions in the past few days.

Su Shi was placed under house arrest by His Majesty, and in the eyes of outsiders, Qianqiu Business was only afraid that it was already at the end of the road and in danger, and Her Royal Highness the Princess made a move at this time, not only to establish authority, but also to stabilize the morale of the army, and of course, more importantly, to win over the family.

When those families finally got the distribution rights of glass products from the Qianqiu firm, and were about to grab the profits, Her Royal Highness the princess's actions clearly told those families that if you want to make money, you must look at my face.

Even if Qianqiu Firm does not touch other states, it can still bring down the price of glass products, making them unprofitable.

Of course, if the family is willing to cling to the Qianqiu firm, everyone can still make money happily and kindly.

At this time, Hou Qu suddenly whispered: "Shopkeeper, now people from all walks of life outside are panicking, afraid of becoming the next target of Qianqiu Commercial Bank. ”

Xiao Yuelou was shocked: "What does this mean? ”

"Now it is said that Qianqiu Firm is preparing to enter all walks of life, and they are all large-scale, and yesterday it was rumored that Qianqiu Firm was preparing to enter the silk industry."

Xiao Yuelou thought for a while and said with a smile: "If Qianqiu Business also wants to run the silk industry like a restaurant, I'm afraid it won't be easy." ”

Hou Qu shook his head: "Qianqiu business is not considered to open a silk village. ”

Xiao Yuelou was stunned: "Then what are they going to do?" ”

"Silk. Qianqiu firm is ready to buy silk on a large scale, does the shopkeeper know, as soon as the news came out, the price of silk rose by at least one percent today. ”

Xiao Yuelou gasped: "It's just a news that comes out, and the price of silk has risen by one percent, if Qianqiu Firm really makes a move, then the price of silk will not go up to the sky." ”
