Qin Zhidao and Kong Wenshun were in the mood for wine at this time. They had already drank two glasses of wine in a row. When they were about to pick up the third glass of wine, they heard Chang Muhua's words. Qin Zhidao put down his glass and thought about it, but there was nothing in his mind. Impression, so I asked: "Where is Tianbao Pavilion?"
Chang Muhua said: "It is also a jewelry store, mainly dealing in rubies produced in the south."
When he heard that it was a jewelry store, Qin Zhidao suddenly lost interest and said casually: "It's just a jewelry store. Why does Brother Chang care so much?"
Chang Muhua sighed: "I have been doing business for many years, but I have never seen such business methods as Tianbao Pavilion. I was curious, so I brought it up."
"A business method that even Brother Chang has never seen before?" Qin Zhidao suddenly became interested: "But you don't know what the business method is?"
Although he was asking about Chang Muhua, he couldn't help but look at Su Shi.
Su Shi naturally drank more than everyone else today. Others were only 50% drunk, but he was already 70% drunk, so his reaction was much slower than usual. Only then did he raise his glass and look at Chang Mu with drunken eyes. Hua: "What is the business method that even Brother Chang finds novel?"
Chang Muhua also picked up the wine glass and muttered: "Tianbao Pavilion was established two years ago. It mainly sells rubies produced in the south. But the strange thing is that although there are many ruby products in the store, they are only on display and there are very few. For sale.”
"Only for display, not for sale?" Kong Wenshun was also intrigued 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. This model of only displaying but not selling is indeed unheard of.
"I don't know." Chang Muhua and Su Shi raised their glasses and drank together from a distance, and the drunkenness on Su Shi's face increased.
After drinking, Chang Muhua continued: "I couldn't help but feel happy when I saw such a strange business method, so I asked around. I found that there is something even more strange about their business method. That is if Some people come to buy rubies, but Tianbao Pavilion does not give them goods."
Qin Zhidao wondered: "How can there be such a business in this world? If others pay for shopping, is there any reason not to give others goods?"
"Brother Zichuan, don't worry, listen to me in detail." Chang Muhua said: "It's not that Tianbao Pavilion refuses to give goods to guests, but allows guests to store the purchased goods in Tianbao Pavilion."
Qin Zhidao was even more surprised: "What does this mean?"
Chang Muhua said with a smile: "Tianbao Pavilion promises to the customer that if the goods are stored in Tianbao Pavilion for two years, a profit of 7% will be returned to the customer every quarter according to the purchase price of the customer. After two years, the customer can choose to take the Return the principal or the ruby products purchased.”
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 profits in vain?"
Chang Muhua said: "I couldn't understand it at first, but later I inquired carefully and found out that the price of ruby has basically been one per day in the past two years. So far, it has increased more than five times."
"The reason why Tianbao Pavilion would rather give customers a profit and keep the ruby in their hands is that I guess they want to wait for the price of ruby to reach its peak to sell it. In this way, the profit earned by Tianbao Pavilion far exceeds the price paid. Likin.”
Qin Zhidao and Kong Wenshun were unable to understand this method at first, but now that they heard Chang Muhua's analysis, they felt that it made some sense.
But Kong Wenshun couldn't help but shake his head and sigh: "In order to obtain the maximum benefit, businessmen can even think of such methods."
Qin Zhidao smiled on the side and said, "In this case, wouldn't those who bought ruby also make a profit?"
"That's right. A few days ago, those customers who bought Ruby two years ago not only received the last quarter's profit, but also had their principal refunded to them."
Chang Muhua seemed to be explaining to Qin Zhidao and Kong Wenshun, but he had been secretly observing Su Shi's reaction. However, Su Shi seemed to be too drunk and just stared at the wine glass.
Upon seeing this, Qin Nan hurriedly called Lin Mo and gave a few instructions in a low voice. After a while, Lin Mo brought sobering soup.
After drinking a bowl of sobering soup, Su Shi seemed to have returned to his senses, but then he picked up the wine glass again, wanting to drink with everyone again.
Qin Nan was so anxious that he didn't care much and hurriedly winked at his father and Master Kong. Knowing what he meant, he couldn't help but look at each other and smile, then look at the sky. After drinking for nearly an hour, Qin Zhidao smiled and said: "I've had enough wine today, and it's getting late, so why don't we just leave here, my dear nephew?" Go to bed early.”
Su Shi became energetic at this time. Seeing that everyone wanted to leave the table, he hurriedly said: "It's not yet Xu time, it's already getting late, and we've only drank two pots of wine, so how can we have fun talking. Uncle Qin, Kong Brother, Brother Chang, let’s continue drinking.”
These three claims seemed nondescript, but the words spoke to their hearts. Qin Nan wanted to stop him, but suddenly felt Su Shi gently hold her hand.
Qin Nan was stunned for a moment, then stood up and said with a smile: "I think the food is a little cold. Since we still want to drink, I'll ask them to warm it up."
Although Qin Nan hadn't visited her yet, the people in the general's residence had already regarded her as their mistress. When Qin Nan opened her mouth, someone had already come up and brought down the cold dishes.
Seeing that Qin Nan no longer objected, Qin Zhidao and Kong Wenshun sat down in high spirits again. Kong Wenshun even smiled and said: "In that case, let's continue drinking happily."
Su Shi stood up and poured wine for everyone one by one. While pouring wine for Chang Muhua, he casually asked, "Brother Chang, does he know who the owner of Tianbao Pavilion is?"
"Is Brother Su also interested in Hongyu's business?"
Su Shi smiled and said: "I have no interest in the ruby business. But as Brother Chang said, this kind of business method has never been seen before. I am interested in asking the owner of Tianbao Pavilion for advice."
Chang Muhua said: "That's right. Anyone who does business will inevitably become interested when they see such a strange business method. But I only know that the principal of Tianbao Pavilion is named Duan. As for his master, I really don't know. Know."
Su Shi raised his glass and said, "I'd like to give another toast to Brother Chang."
Chang Muhua hurriedly stood up, their wine glasses touched lightly, made a soft sound, and then drank it down.
Su Shi poured another glass of wine for Chang Muhua and asked curiously: "Brother Chang is also in the jewelry business. So the price of ruby has really increased more than five times in the past two years?"
"Indeed." Chang Muhua nodded: "I asked my friends in the south to find out that the price of ruby has been rising steadily in the past two years, more than five times."
Su Shi's expression looked extremely regretful: "We have made five times the profit in two years. Why haven't I encountered such a profitable business?" But then he asked again: "Why has the price of ruby increased so much in the past two years?" ?”
Chang Muhua shook his head: "Ruby is a specialty of the south. I have never sold it, so I don't know the specific reason."
