Qin Zhidao and Kong Wenshun were in full swing at this time, they had already drunk two glasses in a row, and when they were about to serve the third glass of wine, when they heard Chang Muhua's words, Qin Zhidao put down the wine glass, thought about it, but had no impression in his mind, so he asked, "What is Tianbao Pavilion?" ”

Chang Muhua said: "It is also a jewelry store, mainly dealing in red jade from the south. ”

Hearing that it was a jewelry store, Qin Zhidao suddenly lost any interest, and said casually: "It's just a jewelry store, why does Brother Chang care so much?" ”

Chang Muhua sighed: "I have been in business for many years, but I have never seen such a business method as Tianbao Pavilion, and I was curious for a while, so I mentioned it." ”

"A business method that even Brother Chang hasn't seen?" Qin Zhidao suddenly became interested: "But I don't know what kind of business method it is?" ”

Although he asked Chang Muhua, his eyes couldn't help but look at Su Shi.

Today, Su Shi naturally drank more than everyone else, others only had five points of drunkenness, and his drunkenness had already reached seven points, so his reaction was much slower than usual, and then he raised his wine glass and looked at Chang Muhua with drunken eyes: "What is the business method that makes Brother Chang feel novel?" ”

Chang Muhua also picked up his wine glass and muttered: "Tianbao Pavilion was established two years ago, mainly selling red jade from the south, but the strange thing is that although there are many red jade products in the store, they are only displayed, and few are sold. ”

"Only show, not sell?" Kong Wenshun was also curious by Chang Muhua's words: "What kind of business method is this?" ”

Although Kong Wenshun is not interested in doing business, he also knows that a product must be sold to make a profit, and this model of only showing but not selling is indeed unheard of.

"I don't know." Chang Muhua and Su Shiyao raised their glasses and drank together, and the drunkenness on Su Shi's face increased by another point.

After drinking, Chang Muhua continued: "Seeing such a peculiar business method, I couldn't help but see Hunting's joy, so I inquired around. I found that there is something even more peculiar about their business methods. That is, if someone comes to buy red jade, Tianbao Pavilion does not give people goods. ”

Qin Zhiqi said: "How can there be such a business in this world? If someone pays for shopping, is there any reason not to give someone else goods? ”

"Brother Zichuan, don't worry, listen to me in detail." Chang Muhua said: "This Tianbao Pavilion is not to give the guests goods, but to let the guests store the goods they bought in the Tianbao Pavilion. ”

Qin Zhidao was even more strange: "What does this mean?" ”

Chang Muhua said with a smile: "Tianbao Pavilion promises to the guests that if the goods are stored in the Tianbao Pavilion for two years, they will return to the guests every quarter according to the price purchased by the guests with seven cents of interest, and after two years, the guests can choose to get back the principal or the ruby products they bought." ”

This time, not only Qin Zhidao was even more confused, but even Kong Wenshun looked at Chang Muhua with wide eyes.

"Why did Tianbao Pavilion pay two years of profit for nothing?"

Chang Muhua said: "Originally, I couldn't understand it, but after careful investigation, I learned that in the past two years, the price of red jade has basically been one price a day, and so far, it has risen more than five times." ”

"The reason why Tianbao Pavilion would rather give the guests a profit and keep the red jade in his hands is that I guess he also wants to wait for the price of the red jade to reach its peak and get rid of it, so that the profit obtained by the Tianbao Pavilion far exceeds the profit it pays."

Qin Zhidao and Kong Wenshun originally couldn't understand this method, but now listening to Chang Muhua's analysis, they feel that it makes some sense.

It's just that Kong Wenshun couldn't help but shake his head and sighed: "In order to get the maximum benefit, businessmen can even think of such methods. ”

Qin Zhidao smiled on the side: "In this way, wouldn't those who bought the red jade also make money?" ”

"Exactly. A few days ago, the same customers who had bought the ruby two years ago not only received the last season's profits, but also returned the principal. ”

Chang Muhua seemed to be explaining to Qin Zhidao and Kong Wenshun, but he had been secretly observing Su Shi's reaction, but Su Shi seemed to be out of strength, and his eyes were just looking straight at the wine glass.

Seeing this, Qin Nan hurriedly called Lin Mo and whispered a few words, and after a while, Lin Mo brought the decanting soup.

After drinking a bowl of sobering soup, Su Shi seemed to return to his soul, but then he picked up the wine glass again, wanting to drink it again with everyone.

Qin Nan couldn't take care of it in a hurry, so he hurriedly glanced at his father and Master Confucius. Knowing what he meant, he couldn't help but smile at each other, and then looked at the sky, he had been drinking for nearly an hour, and Qin Zhidao smiled and said: "Today's wine is already enjoyable, and it's getting late, it's better to disperse here, and the virtuous nephew should rest early." ”

Su Shi came to the spirit at this time, and saw that everyone had the intention of dispersing, so he hurriedly said to stay: "It's not yet time, why is it getting late, and I only drank two pots of wine, so how can I talk about having fun." Uncle Qin, Brother Kong, Brother Chang, let's continue to drink. ”

These three salutations seemed nondescript, but this sentence reached their hearts, and Qin Nan wanted to stop it, but suddenly felt Su Shi gently shake her hand.

Qin Nan was slightly stunned, then got up and smiled: "I see that the food is a little cold, since I still have to drink, I will ask them to heat it up." ”

Although Qin Nan has not yet passed the door, the people in the general's mansion have already regarded her as the housewife, and when Qin Nan spoke, someone had already come up and brought down the cold dishes.

Qin Zhidao and Kong Wenshun saw that Qin Nan no longer objected, so they sat down with high interest, and Kong Wenshun smiled even more: "Since this is the case, then let's continue to drink happily." ”

Su Shi got up and poured wine for everyone one by one, and when he poured wine for Chang Muhua, he asked casually, "Does Brother Chang know who the owner of Tianbao Pavilion is?" ”

"Could it be that Brother Su has also become interested in Hongyu's business?"

Su Shi smiled and said, "I don't have any interest in the red jade business. However, as Brother Chang said, this kind of means of doing business has never been seen before, and I am interested in asking the master of the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion for advice. ”

Chang Muhua said: "It is also said that anyone who does business will inevitably not be interested when they see such a peculiar business method. However, I only know that the surname of the head of the Tianbao Pavilion is Duan, and I really don't know who his master is. ”

Su Shi raised his glass and said, "Little brother will give Brother Chang another cup." ”

Chang Muhua hurriedly stood up, the wine glasses of the two touched lightly, making a soft sound, and then drank it all.

Su Shi poured a full bottle of wine for Chang Muhua again, and asked curiously: "Brother Chang is also in the jewelry business, so the price of red jade has really increased more than five times in the past two years?" ”

"That's true." Chang Muhua nodded: "I once asked a friend in the south to understand that the price of this red jade has been rising steadily in the past two years, and it has risen more than five times. ”

Su Shi's expression was extremely regretful: "There are five times the profit in two years, why haven't I encountered such a profitable business." But then he asked, "Why has the price of ruby risen so much in the past two years?" ”

Chang Muhua shook his head: "Red jade is a specialty of the south, and I have never sold it, so I don't know the specific reason." ”
