“It’s been a few months since I last saw you, and you are even more articulate than before!”
In Lu Ruyan's suspicious and embarrassed state, Ying Feiyu finally told the reason for laughing.
After Lu Ruyan heard this, her lungs almost exploded.
If this kid wasn't the emperor, she would have to punch him twice!
She was talking about serious things to him, but this kid suddenly started laughing because her speech was more eloquent than before?
Are you not taking your words seriously at all?
"Your Majesty, I am here to report to you about the travel agency!"
Lu Ruyan's face looked somewhat ugly.
"I know!"
Ying Feiyu nodded with a relaxed expression.
"Then you...this...?"
"You have arranged everything, and there is nothing I need to worry about. Just open the business!"
Ying Feiyu said with a smile.
"When will it open and how will the prices of each route be determined?"
Everything else is easy to say, but Lu Ruyan cannot make the decision on these two.
"You can do whatever you want, I don't care about that! If the business is good, it will be auspicious whenever the business opens! If the business is not good, there is no point in choosing a good and auspicious day! As for the prices of each route, you can just decide. Since I will The store is left to you to manage, and you have full control over these matters!"
This time, Ying Feiyu spoke very seriously.
"Leave it to me?"
This was something Lu Ruyan didn't expect.
Even if the opening time doesn't matter, the pricing is still very important.
Whether the store makes money or not, and how much it can make, the key lies in the pricing!
The price is too high and no one goes, the price is too low and there is no profit!
"That's right! You have been planning the travel agency from beginning to end, and you should know something about it. It's up to you to figure out the details!"
Ying Feiyu spoke with determination.
"This this……?"
This time, Lu Ruyan was really embarrassed. After thinking for a long time, she continued: "Your Majesty, those who can participate in the trip must be wealthy and distinguished people with strong family backgrounds, which means they are a small part of the common people who cannot be relied on. Make money based on the principle of small profits but quick turnover! Then you must increase the profit point, otherwise the store will not be able to operate!"
"Like this route from Xianyang to Nanhai County, one way and back, a total of twelve days, the cost per person is ten gold, how about doubling it to twenty gold per person?"
After thinking about it, Lu Ruyan still felt that her price was not appropriate.
So I planned to make a suggestion in front of him. Whether he would adopt it or not would be up to Ying Feiyu!
"The cost is ten gold, the price is twenty gold, and each person can earn half the profit!"
Ying Feiyu understood what she meant, raised the corners of his lips slightly, and summarized her words with a smile.
"That's right!"
Lu Ruyan nodded.
"Haha! What you mean is that if you can't make small profits but quick sales, you have to increase profits! But this structure is too small, and each person only makes half of the profit! Think about the private individuals I sold to several ministers. Custom-made, you can earn at least for each item...ahem...forget it, this is all in the past!"
As Ying Feiyu was talking, he almost spilled the beans, so he changed the subject and continued: "But that's okay! The store has just opened, so it's okay to attract a group of consumers at low prices!"
This little girl just said that those participating must be rich and distinguished people, and all of them are extremely rich.
The price of twenty gold per person is not enough for them to visit a brothel!
“Is half the profit still not enough?”
Most of Ying Feiyu's previous instructions were to make small profits but quick turnover. This time, she also considered that there might not be too many consumers, so she set the price.
Unexpectedly, His Majesty still said that she was too small!
"Haha! Okay, that's it. If you want to adjust the price in the future, you can just find any excuse!"
If merchants want to increase prices, consumers will not find any reason to refute.
For example, switching to a restaurant with the same price can be said to be an improvement in the quality of the restaurant.
Changing just two dishes can be said to be an upgrade.
In short, you can take money out of the pockets of those noble and wealthy households in various ways!
"good!"
After setting the price, Lu Ruyan nodded, paused for a moment, and asked, "I wonder...how is Rosa doing lately?"
The two have been good sisters since childhood and often communicate with each other.
But since the wedding, the opportunities to meet each other have become less and less, let alone after living in the palace.
They haven't met yet since they returned to Xianyang this time!
"I felt a little unwell when I first entered the palace, but I've gotten better recently!"
Ying Feiyu said truthfully.
"I wonder if I can visit?"
Lu Ruyan asked tentatively.
"Of course, she will be happy to have you visit!"
Ying Feiyu nodded firmly and arranged for someone to take her to the harem.
…
Sure enough, when Rosa, who was embroidering a bellyband for her child, saw Lu Ruyan, she almost jumped out of her chair with excitement.
"Ouch! Please be careful, you are already going to be a mother, why are you still so excited?"
When the two met, they were extremely close. Lu Ruyan quickly helped her to rest on the bed.
When Rosa was in Taishan, the first thing she did after learning that she was pregnant was to send a telegram to Lu Ruyan to inform her.
Both of them are strangers from a foreign land, so they must be particularly close to each other in Xianyang.
"Ru Yan, why are you here?"
Rosa was overjoyed, so happy that she kept holding her hand.
"I want to report something to His Majesty and drop by to see you...!"
Lu Ruyan smiled, pursed her lips at the half-finished embroidery work, and said, "Your Majesty is already the Lord of the Qin Dynasty, and his private property alone is very rich. Do you still need to do all this yourself?"
"The things in the palace are indeed good, but as a mother, I can't just do nothing, right?"
Since Rosa became pregnant, even her smile has become much kinder.
"makes sense!"
Lu Ruyan could understand her mood.
"Ru Yan, I'm not afraid of your jokes. Ever since I found out I had this child, I feel like I have relatives in Daqin and I'm no longer alone...!"
Rosa smiled, then turned her eyes to Lu Ruyan, "Ruyan, we can't go back anyway. We are destined to stay in Xianyang in this life. It is better to find someone to marry, not for anything else, but to have someone to belong to." My own child has a family in Xianyang!"
"Marry? Children?"
These words really caught Lu Ruyan off guard, and she didn't even react for a moment.
"Yes, once you get married, you can have your own children...!"
Rosa nodded with certainty, then suddenly her eyes lit up, "Ru Yan, why don't you just marry your husband? My husband is the emperor, top-notch in terms of status, and he is good to us sisters! It just so happened that a few days ago The minister has written a letter asking my husband to enrich the harem and spread the branches and leaves of the royal family!"
Lu Ruyan is over eighteen years old and has reached childbearing age, so she is a good choice.
"I?"
Lu Ruyan was very surprised, wondering why she suddenly said such a sentence.
She had a prejudice against that boy Ying Feiyu at the beginning. Even though she knows now that it was all a misunderstanding and that the boy is not bad, she has never thought about marrying him?
"Yes! If you can marry your husband, we can be together every day from now on! After you have a child, you will have the person closest to you!"
Rosa's face was full of serious persuasion.
"forget it!"
Lu Ruyan never thought about this and waved her hands repeatedly.
"I'm telling you the truth..."
Rosa seemed to really care about this matter, sitting on the bed and praising Ying Feiyu.
In the end, Lu Ruyan changed the subject to the child, and that was the end.
After that, the two chatted for a while, and then Lu Ruyan left the palace!
