Yanlai Tower. Today, Yanlai Tower does not accept outsiders, but was reserved by Xiao Yu.
The entire Yanlai Tower was decorated with lights and colorful decorations, and it was full of joy. People gave money, so naturally they had to do their best!
Naturally, the guests hosted by Xiao Yu were Liu Renyuan and his party who had just returned to Chang'an!
In the largest box on the first floor, there were more than thirty people sitting at an oversized round table!
This round table was specially built by Luo Zhangming's Royal Furniture Store. It was made to imitate the table in his previous life to make it more convenient for guests to eat.
This idea was praised by many people as soon as it was launched, and Royal Furniture Store received a flurry of orders because of it, making a lot of money!
Although many people are jealous of this, they dare not imitate it. Why, you ask? That's a royal furniture store. If you copy it, officers and soldiers will come to your house the next day and arrest you.
reason? How could the royal things be forged by you?
This reason has extinguished many people's thoughts. This is also the reason why Luo Zhang and His Majesty asked for the word "royal".
In the private room of Yanlai Building, the guests and hosts were seated, and the atmosphere was very harmonious!
The maids on the side are serving tea to every guest who comes here!
The tea is the Dahongpao produced by Luo Zhang System!
Most people cannot afford to drink this kind of tea, so it is used to entertain distinguished guests.
How could Xiao Yu care about such a small amount of money when treating guests? Naturally, it’s best to go for it!
"Master Xiao, you are too polite!" Liu Renyuan picked up the tea cup and gave Xiao Yu a slight bow.
"Hahaha, don't be too arrogant here. Just call me Master Xiao. We're not in the court, so there's no need to be so formal!" Xiao Yu said with a warm smile.
Liu Renyuan smiled bitterly and shook his head, and had no choice but to follow Xiao Yu's wishes!
Seeing this, the others also thanked Xiao Yu.
The dishes are brought to the table by a famous waitress. The tempting aroma and exquisite dishes have already stimulated your taste buds before you even eat them!
"The Yanlai Tower opened by Luo Zhang is really breathtaking. As for this table, I also have one at home. It's really convenient for entertaining guests!" Xiao Yu said, pointing to the table in front of him.
"Hahaha, the Xiao family leader also bought it? We all bought it too. When it comes to making money, the Luo family leader is really good at it. Not only is he a good official, but we are even ashamed to make money. With him, we family heads are all I feel a little ashamed of myself!”
"Yes, even though the Luo Family Master is young, what he does is more courageous and courageous than us old men. I feel like I have spent all my years on a dog!"
On the side, all the family heads who were invited started to sigh!
"Quick, try the unique dishes of Yanlailou. These are good things that you can't eat outside, and even if you have money, you can't buy them!" Xiao Yu smiled and hurriedly greeted everyone to eat.
It was not for nothing that Xiao Yu invited Liu Renyuan and others to the banquet today. As mentioned before, he was not only an official of the imperial court, but also the head of the family. He was here today for family business.
After three rounds of dishes and five flavors of wine, Xiao Yu put down his chopsticks and looked at the other heads of households, then turned to Liu Renyuan and said: "Renyuan, I see you have captured a lot of ships this time. I don't know how many ships there are." How to deal with it?”
The other family heads stared closely at Liu Renyuan and others, waiting for his answer!
Only then did Liu Renyuan realize that Xiao Yu originally wanted to capture the ship!
The ship that had captured the Goguryeo people before was finally redeemed by the Goguryeo people at a high price, including the ship and the people. The price was much higher than the price of buying the ship. Even the repair money was one hundred thousand taels of silver, let alone the purchase price. Money.
Xiao Yu proposed to buy the ship, which made Liu Renyuan a little embarrassed. If he sold it at the redemption price, Xiao Yu would not agree. If he sold it at the normal price, the Royal Navy would definitely suffer a loss.
Just when Liu Renyuan was in a dilemma, Zhao Tianhu walked in with a bottle of wine.
He listened to everything Xiao Yu said just now. He naturally had to take action in business matters like this. Although Liu Renyuan was good at fighting, he was not good at business matters!
Obviously, Xiao Yu was not well-intentioned and wanted to play the emotional card to get Liu Renyuan to sell the ship to him at a low price.
Although Xiao Yu and Luo Zhang have a cooperative relationship, shopping malls are like battlefields. Who would object to taking advantage?
"Master Xiao, I have a bottle of good wine here that you have left here. To celebrate the victory of the army today, come and try it!" Zhao Tianhu did not directly mention the warship, but raised the Maotai in his hand and said to Xiao Yu .
Seeing Zhao Tianhu, Xiao Yu sighed in his heart, fearing that his plan to buy a boat at a low price today would be ruined.
Who is Zhao Tianhu? Nowadays, this famous big shopkeeper in Chang'an City is basically managing Luo Zhang's business. How could such a smart person let you buy things so cheaply?
However, Xiao Yu soon calmed down. It would be nice to be able to buy a cheap seagoing ship, but it didn't matter if he couldn't buy one. It was just a little extra money, which Xiao Yu still had.
Nowadays, shipping goods by sea is extremely popular. It is not only cheap, but it can also transport a lot of goods. More importantly, it saves more time than land transportation.
What is most valuable? Of course, it’s time. The price of some things at a specific time and place has a big gap. If you can seize such time, you can make a lot of money.
The reason why Xiao Yu and others wanted to buy a boat was because of this.
Xiao Yu and others did not dare to think about this matter before. Even if there were ships at that time, they would not be able to transport goods.
The Goguryeo and Japanese people were the overlords of the sea at that time, and their ships would be robbed when they went out to sea, which could be said to have caused heavy losses.
But things are different now. With the Royal Navy on the sea, the Japanese and Goguryeo people have been beaten to pieces, and they dare not come to the waters of the Tang Dynasty to plunder. This protects the movement of ships to a large extent.
They have already ordered sea-going ships from the shipyard, but it takes too long. Sea-going ships are not like ships in the river. There is no other way but to order them at the shipyard!
They wanted to transport something, but without a ship, they had no choice but to go to the dock for consignment.
Although the shipping fee is not much each time, it will be terrible if it is used frequently. The money is not as cost-effective as buying a few boats, and it can be used for many years.
Not only that, consigned goods also have to be queued. Sometimes some goods can earn tens of thousands of taels of silver if they are delivered in January, but because of the delay in consignment queues, the goods sold make a lot less money. This kind of thing has already This was not the first time this happened, and this made Xiao Yu and other family owners eager to buy a boat of their own!
After seeing the ship captured by Liu Renyuan, Xiao Yu took action and got the support of other family owners. If they had their own ship, not only would they not have to pay for the shipping, but they could also control the delivery time and send it away when they wanted. Just send it off at any time without queuing up. If the in-demand goods are delivered at the critical moment, you can earn back the money you paid for the ship after doing this several times.
Profitable, this is what a businessman is!
