From the back bedroom, across the courtyard, you arrive at the main hall of the shop.
When you open the door, you will see that the lobby is spacious, bright and spotless, with smooth and shiny tiles on the ground floor, hardwood shelves on both sides, and cabinet doors inlaid with colorless glazed glass. The magic tools placed inside are clearly visible.
Shi Chunqing has traveled extensively and is quite knowledgeable, but he can't help but feel good about it as soon as he walks in. There are no original arrangements or luxurious decorations here, it's just clean, neat and comfortable.
In particular, there was plenty of light in the hall. It was not just good lighting, but there was obviously another light source. Shi Chunqing was also a Talisman Sword Master. He immediately noticed the magic weapon. Looking up, he saw the ceiling above his head shining slightly, and the light was pure white, like the midday sun.
Plants like vines and sedge are climbing on the ceiling. The vines are pulling vines and winding down from the pillars. They half-block the lights from direct glare and appear naturally cool, with a fresh fragrance of vegetation.
Shi Chunqing praised: "It turns out that the ingenuity lies here. Since we have planted grass vines, why not let the vines climb onto the shelves, and then make the shelves out of unpeeled logs, wouldn't it have a more forest feel?"
Tang Zhao smiled and said: "If we were in the city, I would arrange it like this. But we are originally in a deep mountain and old forest. There are big trees and grass outside, and everything we see is green. When we enter the room, we will feel tired when we look at green. So I chose it specially. The bright red mahogany color is just to be different from the outside, simple and elegant, and make people calm."
Shi Chunqing said: "It makes sense."
There were originally waiters in the store. The two waiters introduced the products to the other two groups of customers respectively. Naturally, there was no reason to let go of the customers and rush over. The remaining young man behind the counter who was paying the bill ran out, cupped his fists and saluted, and said softly: "Senior brother. Senior brother." "
This guy was 17 or 18 years old. He was handsome, well-dressed, and neatly dressed. There was nothing wrong with him. Shi Chunqing looked at him and said kindly, "Is he our senior brother?"
Tang Zhao smiled and said: "This is Moyu disciple Shu Qian, and so are those others. They come here to help, which is regarded as a mountain villa mission. Our store staff changes every three months, and under special circumstances, they will change every six months." In addition to this boutique mission, In addition to the job remuneration, he also provides another salary, so this position pays well, and it is the highest level among the jobs. No one will complain if the requirements are stricter.
In fact, many disciples are willing to do this task for a long time and work in the store for a long time, but Tang Zhaoduo does not allow it, because you can't learn anything real as a store clerk, so it is better to collect materials for your senior brothers. Especially these young disciples, it’s better to make some money and go back to study. However, there were a few who were older and felt that their future in Fu Shi Yiyi was over, and were willing to work with Tang Zhao for a long time after coming down from the mountain. Tang Zhao accepted two of them after the assessment.
Shi Chunqing visited the display cabinet again. Each cabinet contained a magic weapon. It seemed that there was a small light in each grid, illuminating the magic weapon with a brilliant light. There are price tags and introductions in the grid. The price in silver ranges from several thousand to several hundred, and the most expensive one is only a thousand taels of gold. He counted, there were fifty or sixty magic weapons in the hall, and said: "Okay, each of you can get more than ten magic weapons. Junior sister and the others are okay. You and the eighth junior brother have only been making weapons for a few years. If you don't make them, Is your family’s fortune all wiped out?”
Tang Zhaodao: "These are not all the works of senior brothers and sisters. If they are theirs, where can I buy them for a few hundred taels? Most of them are the better works of white jade disciples. The best of white jade and the works of real jade disciples are there - —”
I saw a sign on the counter in the center. One side said "High-quality products, prices are negotiable" and the other side said "Customization accepted." Shu Qian held up a booklet, which turned out to be a high-quality catalog.
The book is very thick, but every exquisite item has words and pictures, the pictures are lifelike, and the text is extremely detailed. One magic weapon occupies two large pages, and there are only a few items in total.
"For the time being, each senior sister and brother will produce two or three pieces. Any more will be worthless."
"If you like it..."
Tang Zhao said: "There is a VIP room above, go up and have an interview."
Shi Chunqing said: "Are you going to talk? Or invite some junior brother and sister to take charge?"
Tang Zhao smiled and said: "Where are the labor brothers and sisters in charge? I invited two white jade brothers and sisters who can control the scene with their looks and eloquence. If you are a particularly expensive customer, please contact us. Or if you want to customize it, the price is fine. Interview." Those two are his long-term employees, temporarily called "experts", and from now on they will be called "managers."
Shi Chunqing couldn't help laughing and praised: "Okay, very thoughtful."
Tang Zhao said proudly: "This boutique area is just fine. It's not much different from the shops selling magic tools outside. Who doesn't know how to run a high-end store? The real ones are here -"
Push the wall and reveal a passage.
The passage leads to the next door, where there is another hall, but it is not as spacious. In fact, the place is not small, but it is packed with containers, making it more crowded than Xue Xianyun's study. There are no big glazed doors or small lights in the container. Although they are still one box, they are packed together, one box next to the other.
There are a few big words on the wall: "Affordable magic weapon, one hundred taels per piece, white jade for gold, every piece of real gold."
Shi Chunqing said in astonishment: "This... this is..."
Tang Zhao said: "Here are all the magic tools used by Baiyu disciples for daily practice. The level is average, but the talismans are all complete and there are no fakes. They are only for people to hunt for goods."
Shi Chunqing heard his tone, why was it still incomplete?
Sure enough, Tang Zhao opened another door. The room was bigger and the layout was messier. Although there were lights, it was still dark. There were not even cabinets. Instead, there were open boxes. It was piled with pieces of magic tools.
"Cheap and good goods, 10 taels apiece, 10 taels each. You can't buy ten taels and suffer a loss, and you can't buy ten taels and get cheated——"
Shi Chunqing read the large-character board at the door, dumbfounded and said, "Where did you learn this trick? Aren't you a little scholar?"
Tang Zhao chuckled twice and said: "The origins of family education. These are the defective products accumulated by the white jade disciples and the practice works of the black jade disciples. If the green jade disciples have anything to deal with, they can also be placed here."
Gu Huan
Shi Chunqing shook his head and laughed, and took one out of the box. He saw that the materials were rough, the symbols were intermittent, and they seemed to be missing. It was impossible to talk about combinations and combinations. Let alone now, he had made such a thing twenty years ago. This thing is bound to be punished.
After looking at a few items, Shi Chunqing felt his eyes hurt and said, "The light is too dim. Why don't you adjust the highlights?"
Tang Zhao coughed lightly and said, "This room can't be too bright. If it's bright, it won't be easy to sell goods."
Shi Chunqing was angry and funny. He poked his junior brother in the head with his finger and said, "Why don't you learn something good? I don't know who taught you?"
He first felt that someone had led his most innocent junior brother to evil, and then he thought that although several of his junior brothers and sisters were aberrant, they had not yet skewed in this direction. It seemed that this unscrupulousness was inherent in Tang Zhao's original factory.
He straightened up and warned: "You are just fooling around, don't destroy the signboard of our villa."
Tang Zhao said aggrievedly: "Where is the signboard here? Let alone the villa, I don't even write about the magic tools in this house, I only talk about cheap goods, is this not honest enough? It's not a loss to buy back only ten taels of these materials, not to mention There are also talismans. Isn’t this cheap?”
Shi Chunqing said: "The materials are valuable, but they are worthless because of their fashionable craftsmanship. All the distinguished guests who come to the mountain have high standards. Can these rags be sold?"
Tang Zhao said: "Yes. Those distinguished guests are all rich and powerful, and they greet each other before going out. They buy the goods themselves, and their entourages usually come here to look for bargains. They are not stupid, and they can see clearly when they buy them back. , and no one buys the real junk. Now there are also second-hand dealers coming in to hunt for goods. They buy these cheap ones, and they don’t know how they will sell them. Anyway, the goods here don’t have the store’s logo.”
Shi Chunqing said: "Then the remaining rags were finally thrown away?"
Tang Zhaodao: "Ask the seller for his opinion. Either keep it on display and pay after a certain time limit. Or put it in a blind box together."
Of course, some of them were bought by him to fill his glasses.
"Blind...blind box?"
"Well, the blind boxes are sold at the door stall, 12 or 3 of them. There may be random items inside, there may be surprises."
"What a surprise?"
"Of course. Do you really think I am a profiteer? I often put good products in the blind box, not only magic tools, but also silver, small toys, clothes and jewelry, study utensils, boxing scriptures, knife manuals and so on. 10 Eight of them made a good profit. I don’t do one-time business, and the location is so remote that I’ve deceived people away. If I don’t rely on repeat customers, I’ll starve to death.”
Shi Chunqing said: "Although you are not a profiteer, you still have enough to eat..."
Just as he was talking, several well-dressed people came in from outside, shouting and selecting the magic weapons in the box. Shi Chunqing observed carefully and found that he was indeed dressed as an attendant.
Since there were outsiders, the two stopped talking. When they left the inner room, they saw people from the Bailiang shop outside. Those people were more decently dressed, probably housekeepers and guests.
When they arrived at the boutique, they saw that Shu Qian was also busy. She was introducing the magic weapon to a newly arrived couple in front of the counter, saying: "...Customize it here, and an owl will deliver it to your door later..."
The two of them walked through the shop and came to the backyard. Shi Chunqing said: "Can we still deliver goods by owl?"
Tang Zhao smiled and said, "Yes, thank you, senior sister. The owls she tamed are very spiritual and give our store more features and competitiveness."
"Actually, I still have many ideas, such as auctions, goods delivery, lottery draws, membership systems, high-end customization... But in fact, they are not used now. Who will come to the mountain to participate in the auction? I think about it carefully , our store has only two advantages, a large and steady supply of cheap low-end magic instruments, and the owls raised by the senior sister. The biggest disadvantage is the location. No one will go shopping here. Since they are here, it must be either Buy the best stuff, or buy a lot at once.”
"So now we mainly focus on the disciples' cheap magic weapons, and we can even organize everyone to make large quantities of standard magic weapons. As for the high-end ones, the main products are door-to-door delivery with special owl. Now we still need to order door-to-door. In the future, I will start the mail order first. That's not enough. When you leave home, the magic tools will come to you. Slowly start building a brand, and when the time comes, the Baiyu Shenghui brand will be printed on every magic weapon, so that no one knows about it. "
He spoke with clarity, confidence, and brilliance. Shi Chunqing looked at him and smiled softly.
"If you have this ambition, why don't you open a branch in Jichun City?"
"I rented a small shop, but the focus is still on this store. Before I officially become a swordsman, I will not expand from the Jiugao Mountain area." Tang Zhao smiled, "At most, I occasionally call an owl to drop leaflets in the city. Something like that.”
Shi Chunqing nodded and said: "That's right. You have ambition and self-awareness. But I still remind you that making money is a small way. When you become a swordsmith, money will be nothing to you. You can get as much as you want. You can Don’t put the cart before the horse…”
Plop la la——
There was the sound of flapping wings overhead.
The weak-crowned boy flapped his wings and fell from the sky.
"Senior Brother Jiang is here!"
Shi Chunqing nodded and said: "I'm going back first. Junior brother, I'm optimistic about you, Bai Yushenghui... the future must be bright."
