"What's the meaning?"
"On gambling?"
Zheng Yueru had never heard of it at all.
Liu Zheng chuckled: "That's right, a gambling agreement. Since Miss Zheng feels reluctant to give me Wanhua Real Estate, how about I pay some money and each of us has half the shares?"
"I understand investing in shares, but what about betting?"
Zheng Yueru asked with interest.
Liu Zheng said: "The so-called bet is that I will temporarily buy half of the shares, but the management rights of Wanhua Building must be handed over to me. We tentatively set a half-year deadline. If Wanhua Building can turn a loss into a profit in my hands, then Zheng Miss, how about selling this Wanhua Building to me, Liu Zheng?"
Everyone was in an uproar when they heard this.
Many people couldn't help laughing.
Turn a loss into a profit?
Wanhualou is a money-burning place, who doesn’t know? How did you, a prodigal son, turn a loss into a profit in the Wanhua Building where even the Zheng family was unable to make money?
Zheng Yueru also smiled: "What if Brother Liu loses?"
Liu Zheng said categorically: "If I lose, I don't want half of the shares, they all belong to Miss Zheng!"
Everyone was shocked when they heard it, and it was incredible.
You know, as far as the current Wanhua Building is concerned, if you want half of the shares, according to Miss Zheng’s quotation, you will need at least 5,000 taels! In other words, if Liu Zheng cannot turn Wanhua Tower from a loss to a profit within half a year, these five thousand taels will be thrown away!
"It's so atmospheric!"
Chen Xiang couldn't help laughing when he heard this, but his eyes were full of ridicule.
Isn’t this taking money and throwing it into the sea?
The others burst into laughter.
The number one dude in Liangzhou just knows how to play!
Five thousand taels were thrown away without blinking an eye.
"Miss Zheng, how are you?"
Liu Zheng was too lazy to pay attention to them and looked at Zheng Yueru with a smile.
Zheng Yueru had a calm smile on her face, but she had already begun to make calculations in her heart. Zheng Yueru, the eldest daughter of the Zheng family, among the young people of the dignified Zheng family, none of the young people of this generation has a good heir. All the young men are the second generation of playboys. Zheng Yueru, on the other hand, is vigorous and resolute, and is proficient in business. He stood up early and became the leader of the family.
Therefore, as a girl, dressing up as a man is not only because it makes it easier for her to appear in public, but also because she regards herself as a man who stands upright.
Although I was a little impressed by this young master of the Liu family just now.
But no matter what Zheng Yueru was thinking, he couldn't figure out what benefit Liu Zheng's bet would have on him.
Just because you want to buy Wanhualou Lehe, why do you take such a big risk?
hehe……
Dandy!
Disappointment welled up in her heart again, and Zheng Yueru said calmly: "Brother Liu's proposal is fun. If I don't accept it, I'm afraid everyone will disagree."
"Okay! Then I will accept Brother Liu's gambling agreement!"
Liu Zheng was overjoyed when he heard this. He had also thought about reinvesting in opening a restaurant like this, but after seeing the bill of the Wanhua Building, he gave up the idea.
There is no other reason. Doing business should never be done in a hurry. This small Wanhua Building involves a lot of things, and the joints that need to be opened are not as complicated as usual.
To put it simply, the Zheng family is already familiar with some alcohol supply, some powder sales and exchanges, some slave transactions, some official articles, and some checkpoints in transportation. But what about Liu Zheng? When he first came to this world, his eyesight was all black and he didn't recognize anyone.
Let him personally lead the team to run these lines?
Come on! He doesn't have that time. If he has this time, he still has to deal with his own territory.
Although the business system of this era has gradually matured, it has not yet developed as sound as that of later generations. With the Zheng family in control of Wanhua Building, it would be even more impossible for Liu Zheng to open another one and recruit relatively skilled talents.
At that time, I'm afraid it will be a real loss!
Therefore, if he wants to take over the Wanhua Building, he must take over this ready-made restaurant, have the fans, have the reputation, and also have the management team.
This is completely different.
"Brother Liu, don't regret it..."
Zheng Yueru ordered her servants to bring pen and paper, and the two immediately signed a contract.
There were two copies. Liu Zheng happily picked up one and threw it out with five thousand taels of silver notes.
Zheng Yueru said with a smile: "Congratulations to Brother Liu, the management of Wanhua Building has been temporarily handed over to Brother Liu for the past six months. I just don't know what kind of actions Brother Liu will take next?"
She was really curious about it.
It seemed that Liu Zheng was full of confidence, so Zheng Yueru was actually a little unconvinced. I have been running this Wanhua Building myself for so many years, but I have never made a profit once.
He took over and wanted to make a profit within half a year?
She thinks this is nonsense!
Liu Zheng chuckled: "Shanren has his own clever plan. Although I manage Wanhua Tower, Miss Zheng has to help me from the side!"
Zheng Yueru said solemnly: "That's natural!"
Liu Zheng's eyes flashed: "Then change your name first!"
"What?"
Zheng Yueru hurriedly said: "Brother Liu, this..."
In this era, the name of a business is a golden brand. Why has she been spending money in the past five years? She just wants to build this brand! Wouldn't it break her heart to change the name of Wanhua Building at this time?
Liu Zheng looked around, nodded decisively, and said without questioning: "You can never use 'Wanhualou' again, the powder smell is too strong."
The fans refused to give in to these words and spat over one by one.
The guests also laughed and shook their heads.
In this place of fireworks, if the makeup is not heavy, who would come? Without these powders, who would give you money?
Zheng Yueru also wanted to remind her like this, but when she thought that Wanhua Tower already belonged to Liu Zheng, he had the final say, and it was written in black and white and could not be cheated, so she hesitated: "Then Brother Liu wants to change it to..."
"Fengming Tower!"
Liu Zheng didn't even think about it.
Zheng Yueru was slightly startled.
Fengming Tower?
This name is indeed a bit grand. And... Fengming Tower has two meanings. One is naturally a group of beauties, singing orioles, just like the mingling of phoenixes. On the other hand, Phoenix has represented talents since ancient times. Doesn't Fengming Tower mean that it is also a place where literati, poets and talents gather?
high!
Zheng Yueru's eyes lit up.
Liu Zheng pointed to one of the corners with the best view of the Ten Thousand Flowers Building, and said with a smile: "This place must be renovated, with kneeling seats as the mainstay, and the style must be elegant. This is Fengming Pavilion!"
Miss Zheng's eyes were burning: "Brother Liu, you mean that Fengming Pavilion is a place exclusively for literati to debate?"
Liu Zheng nodded: "Not only that, in the future our Fengming Pavilion will also have a rule. This Fengming Pavilion will ask one question a day! The winner of the debate will be free of charge for the day!"
boom!
As soon as these words came out, the literati present looked at each other with joy.
"good!"
"Mr. Liu is grand!"
"This is a good idea!"
The ancients were very disciplined in doing business. Where have you seen this? Free of charge at every turn, he is indeed the most handsome man in Liangzhou!
Zheng Yueru didn't understand it for a while, but quickly realized it. Although this is free of charge, it is only limited to one person. If the promotion is spread every day, I am afraid that the number of literati who come to patronize Fengming Tower will definitely double!
In this way, if you waive the cost for one person, wouldn't you be able to earn back several times?
God!
Zheng Yueru looked at Liu Zheng in disbelief. How did this guy come up with this?
In fact, it's not that Zheng Yueru is stupid. However, these sales routines are all in modern society. Although it is not difficult to explain them, they have no such awareness at all. Naturally, people of this era will never think of them.
"anything else?"
Suddenly, Zheng Yueru felt a little surprised, thinking that this dandy kid might really be a treasure boy.
Liu Zheng muttered: "Of course, our Fengming Tower has four floors in total. They must have corresponding levels and simple settings. The fourth floor will be called Clouds from now on!"
"On the cloud?"
Zheng Yueru read it silently several times and nodded in agreement.
Easy to understand, with a good artistic conception.
"The third floor is Wangshu Terrace!"
"good!"
Many literati praised it.
"The second floor, Ink and Moxuan, the first floor, three thousand prosperity!"
Zheng Yueru nodded frequently: "What about this setting?"
Liu Zheng laughed loudly: "Anyone can do it if they want to spend money on the first floor. But if you want to spend money on the second floor, you have to meet certain thresholds."
"threshold?"
Everyone looked at each other in shock.
This young master from Liangzhou has so many connections?
Liu Zheng once again asked the shopkeeper to bring a pen and paper. While studying the ink, he chuckled and said: "It's very simple. One level of consumption depends on personal strength."
"The minimum consumption on the second floor is fifty taels of silver!"
"this……"
"madman!"
"Are you out of your mind because of poverty?"
Those guests refused to give in, especially Chen Xiang, who looked at Liu Zheng with a sneer: "I have some amazing tricks, but it turns out that I am also a black-hearted businessman!"
Zheng Yueru also became anxious.
Fifty taels?
Isn't this a joke? How many people in Yinzhou can come here and spend fifty taels at a time? Fifty taels, in later generations, would cost tens of thousands of yuan, and it was indeed not something that ordinary people could afford.
Liu Zheng smiled slightly.
These ancient people had never seen this kind of consumption model, so it was normal to be worried.
In fact, since ancient times, many people have flocked to this hierarchical consumption model, not for any other reason but to show off!
Feeling condescending!
This is vanity!
Everyone has vanity. As long as you can get the pleasure from these people, you won’t have to worry about someone paying for it!
So.
Only money is naturally not enough.
Liu Zheng smiled and said: "Of course, if you want to enter the Shuimo Pavilion, there is another way, and that is to pair the couplets!"
couplet?
Everyone was confused.
What is this?
Zheng Yueru said excitedly: "Brother Liu is saying..."
Liu Zheng smiled slightly, picked up the brush and started writing.
The literati of this era were not only obsessed with poetry and songs, they were also obsessed with couplets. Couplets are also a form of literary expression.
Every year during the Dragon Boat Festival, there are various temple fairs and other festivals where there are competitions of couplets and poems, and there are always talented people from all walks of life.
Zheng Yueru was slightly shocked.
This Liu Zheng is not only good at poems and songs, but he also knows couplets?
She already understood what Liu Zheng meant. It seemed that those who could match his couplets could be consumed for free on the second level. However, in this case, this couplet is needed, and the threshold must be very high. Can he do it?
"Couplet?"
Chen Xiang also mocked and laughed beside him: "Young master Liu, can you still do this?"
He absolutely doesn't believe it.
Others also shook their heads.
really.
Liu Zheng's pen was very clever and he wrote a couplet. When everyone saw it, they laughed wildly.
"The water is falling!"
