Chapter 137: Wanmin Building

This way of speaking is so modern that the people can't understand it.

The group faces were confused.

Qin Chuan scratched his head: "This ...... I am saying that the price of this shop is the cheapest in the whole capital, and it has just opened today, everyone comes to eat, drink and have fun, and all the expenses are only 30% silver. ”

Oh, I see, so everyone can understand.

However, no one dared to go up the steps.

Qin Chuan: "Go in." ”

Still no one dared.

Liu Zhongping: "Your Majesty, you are standing here, who dares to come up." ”

"Hahaha, it's me, I'll be the first guest, I'll go in first!"

When he went in, there was a half-pillar of incense, and the people outside entered one after another, although the decoration here is antique, but according to the style of the current era, it is already very trendy, the girls here are wearing tights, long hair, short hair, showing extraordinary quality everywhere.

What a cool word!

The men drooled as they stared at the women's buttocks.

Tight little shorts, tight little suspenders, small slings, and very plain light makeup, coupled with polite demeanor and seductive eyes, can melt any man's heart.

The welcoming women standing at the door bowed: "Distinguished guests, here is a sauna, on the right is a gambling house, on the left is a hot pot restaurant, and if you go straight is an opera teahouse." ”

Looking at these beautiful women, Liu Zhongping, who has always been serious, couldn't help but leave the blue blood and sniffed it.

Qin Chuan: "Liu Gong, is it wonderful?" ”

"Well, wonderful, ......"

As soon as he saw the emperor's smug eyes, he immediately became shy: "Your Majesty, the old minister doesn't know how to do this. ”

"Hahaha! It's normal for people, now that the situation has stabilized so much, it's time for us to enjoy it. I sent you two girls? ”

"I don't dare."

The business of this shop is too hot.

In just three days, the rest of the capital, business is far inferior here, and guests who come here to play need to book in advance, otherwise they will not be in line.

Liu Fang asked for an order to increase the price, otherwise it would be twelve hours a day, and the business would not be able to receive it.

Qin Chuan refused, the price is suitable for everyone, this is a principle.

The business of 'Wanmin Building' was so hot that the chamber of commerce in the capital couldn't sit still at all, because the profit of this store in one day was more than the sum of dozens of ordinary stores, and they also heard that the emperor planned to continue to open branches, and he wanted to open dozens of stores.

Isn't that the end of the calf, the whole business of the capital will be robbed by the emperor alone.

What else do these people from the Chamber of Commerce eat, and they must not starve to death?

Guo Donglai, the president of the Chamber of Commerce, was already shaken, and he called several business giants in the capital to his home to discuss what should be done.

As a shrewd businessman, as soon as you find a crisis, you must change your strategy immediately, otherwise, it will be too late to think about it when you are submerged.

"Ladies and gentlemen, in just three days, the business of Wanminlou is terrible, and there is news from the imperial court that the emperor will open more shops like this. Their prices are forty percent cheaper than ours, and the conditions are very good in all aspects, even the style of clothes is unheard of. ”

"Boss Guo, I heard that these are all ideas that the emperor came up with alone."

"Boss Guo, should we learn from them too?"

Guo Donglai: "Learn? The imperial court has already released its words, and the things in the store must not be imitated, unless they join in and become a part of them, otherwise anyone who follows will have to go to prison. ”

"This ...... Isn't that a hurry? ”

"Alas! The new list of the imperial court also said that anyone who joins in, even if a member of the store agrees to be under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, the price and the settings in the store must be completely consistent. The most important thing is that the franchisee is not allowed to continue to employ slaves. ”

It is the last one that is the most deadly.

Many merchants used cheap slaves to work for themselves, including mines and workshops, which they had paid for.

There are tens of thousands of slave laborers in their hands, how can they be willing to give up all of them?

Guo Donglai: "The provisions of the imperial court say that slaves should be civilianized, not that we are not allowed to hire civilians, but that they are not allowed to be restrained as slaves. ”

Isn't this a reason, raising a slave only needs a few dozen dollars a month, and raising a commoner is two taels of silver a month, which is very different, and the subsidies for three meals a day and four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter are the same.

People with few slaves still barely said that in the past, those who have tens of thousands of slaves in their hands will have more silver like a mountain flowing out every month, who doesn't feel distressed, how much money is a year.

"Humph! The emperor is really good at making trouble, we don't listen to him, let's just consume it! ”

Guo Donglai: "Consumed? Can you afford it? Now Wanminlou's business is so good, it won't be long before their business will cover the whole capital, and all of us will lose all our money, and we can't fight with the emperor. ”

Then, he said: "I have more than 5,000 slaves in my hands, and I have calculated it myself, if I open ten such franchise stores, I will not lose money, on the contrary, I can make a lot more." Therefore, I have already handed over a letter to Liu Fang, the commander of the Nine Gates, and I have also paid the franchise fee, 10,000 taels of silver. ”

"What?!"

This group of people was instantly dumbfounded, the president of the Chamber of Commerce, who had always stood with them, actually cut it first and then played it, he did it first, and then discussed with them, what is this special discussion, this is obviously here to be a lobbyist!

Someone immediately shouted: "Boss Guo, you are not authentic, you are our backbone, how can you admit defeat first?" If you don't consult us, you will compromise with the emperor, so what are you still looking for us to do, do you show that you are very smart?! ”

"Well, you're too unruly to do this."

Guo Donglai smiled lightly: "I have already done this, because I have thought about it carefully, we people, saying that God is also the common people, and the people fight with the emperor, can there be good fruits to eat?" ”

Others disagree with his views and practices, which he did not do before.

"Humph! Boss Guo, let's take a look at it, say goodbye! ”

Guo Donglai paid the money and rebuilt his shop, taking the drawings sent by Liu Fang, as well as the style of clothes, this reform, he had to spend more than 100,000 taels of silver, but he had a unique vision, the business concept of Wanminlou was simply too novel, and it was difficult for anyone to break it within a few decades.

And the money I lost can be fully recouped in less than a year.

……

Ouchi of the Imperial Palace.

Zhao You, the princess of the hundred flowers, refused to eat, preferring to be hungry, it has been two days, her face is pale and her lips are chapped.

And she sat still, and did not speak.
