Several Datang businessmen agreed with Tang Ping's concerns about service and product quality, and they did not feel that they would lose in this regard.
"But...what should we do with the goods we have on hand now?"
They have already agreed with Tang Ping's business method in their hearts, but they still can't get rid of the goods in hand.
"Everyone, you can choose the goods shipped from Datang, so the shelf life will not be too short, right?"
"You can wait until the store is established, hold an opening event when it opens, and sell it at a lower price, so as to gather a wave of popularity."
"And the price you calculate is based on your current cost. But once the store is established, your cost will be reduced. By then, even if you sell it cheaper, you won't lose anything."
Several Datang businessmen nodded. They knew about the opening event. Every time Tang's Commercial Bank opened, there would be various activities, and sometimes there would even be looting. As long as the early publicity was good, it would be really popular.
Tang Ping gave them another reassurance: "Don't worry, my convenience store will not be selling at this price for more than three months, and it will take about three months for you to build a store. By then we will not Become an enemy. And now I can also give you a letter of introduction from Tang's Trading Company. Whoever holds this letter of introduction can purchase their goods at Tang's Trading Company at cost price."
This last sentence is undoubtedly the most tempting. There is not much problem for these Datang businessmen to unite for three months. If they have a channel to purchase goods from Tang's Trading Company, it will undoubtedly be of great benefit to their future business. .
After Tang Ping finished speaking, he told several people to wait a moment and walked back to the convenience store.
Several Datang businessmen watched him leave and began to discuss in low voices.
"According to what Boss Li said, we can indeed set up a store together."
"Yes, the site cost, labor cost, and purchase cost can all be reduced a lot."
"And do you guys remember? In Baekje, we couldn't compete with those Baekje people because of the price. With this model, we can still fight back to Baekje!"
"Then do it?"
"Do it!"
In this day and age, how could someone who could travel across the ocean to do business in Fusang lack some courage?
At this time Tang Ping came out, and they all shut up and stopped talking.
"Everyone can take a look. This is a letter of introduction that I asked for from Princess Qingluan, the wife of the president of Tang's Trading Company. It states that the holder of this letter of introduction can purchase goods at cost price from Tang's Trading Company. It's just that The condition is that it cannot be sold in Datang."
Several businessmen quickly gathered around, and the content was exactly as Tang Ping said.
"Why was it written by Princess Qingluan and not by Duke Ping?" a businessman asked curiously.
"Hey, you don't know, right?" A stone fell in his heart, and these businessmen also relaxed and started chatting about gossip: "The manager of Tang's Trading Company is originally Princess Qingluan, and although our Lord Ping is a hero, But, he also has a shortcoming."
"Oh? What's the shortcoming?" The other businessmen didn't expect that there would be Ping Guogong's melons to eat here, and they all became interested.
"It's the calligraphy of Ping Guo Gong...it is said that the handwriting is worse than that of a five-year-old boy."
Tang Ping's face darkened as he heard this, and he stretched out his hand and said, "There's so much nonsense, what do you want? Don't pay me back!"
"I want it!" The oldest one among the merchants of Tang Dynasty quickly withdrew his hand. This is the most important capital for their brothers to make a fortune in the future.
"Hey, why isn't the ink dry?" a businessman asked doubtfully.
"Ahem, isn't it relatively humid in the room? This Fuso is close to the sea, so everything is very humid!"
"That's right!" The businessman nodded and confirmed again: "This seal is indeed the official seal of Tang's Trading Company. I have seen it before."
"I don't think anyone would be brave enough to pass off items from Tang's Trading Company."
Several people carefully put the letter of introduction in the envelope Tang Ping handed them and put it away.
"Hey, what do you think we should name this store we build together?"
"Yeah, you can't just call it a sales place, right?"
One person looked at Tang Ping and said, "Boss Li, this idea came from you. If you can do it, why don't you come up with a good name for us?"
Several other people also echoed: "Yes, yes, yes, although we can't be called big bosses, we can still settle accounts, but we can't do this with names."
"I heard that Boss Li's brother is Mr. Qinglian, who is the most famous poet in Nara City. I think Boss Li's literary attainments must not be weak."
Seeing how enthusiastic the people were, Tang Ping nodded and said, "In that case, let me think about it!"
He took a few steps back and forth in the backyard, actually avoiding them, looked at his phone, and then said:
"You may know that there is a poem that says: Department stores are lined up with flags and pavilions, and they are marked with their hearts."
"The flag pavilion of the department store, the arbitrariness is marked with "簰"? Seconds, this arbitrariness means randomness, and this clearly means that pearls and jade are good things. Isn't it right to describe our store that you can buy at will..."
A Tang Ping businessman muttered a few sentences in a low voice and was about to cheer loudly when he heard Tang Ping continue:
"So how about we call this store a department store?"
"..."
"Department stores, well, aren't we selling department stores? The people who buy the goods are ordinary people, and even though they are so formal, they may not understand them. Department stores are better, because they will know what they are about!"
Now that the matter was completely settled, the oldest businessman from Tang Dynasty stood up and said with his hands in his hands: "I have offended Boss Li so much just now, but Boss Li can find a way out for us regardless of the past grudges. It really puts me to shame." ah."
Others also apologized to Tang Pingping.
Tang Ping said he didn't dare, helped several people up and said with a smile: "We are all from the Tang Dynasty, so it is natural to help each other, and there is another reason why I help you."
Several people asked doubtfully, and Tang Ping stretched out his hand and put it with theirs: "Because when you came in, I found that you all have dark skin, and you must have been working through wind and rain to earn a living. I hurt you because of personal reasons. Interests……"
These Tang Ping businessmen began to rush to settle accounts with Tang Ping. They all thought that he was a member of the aristocratic family that was popular in the city. Only now did they notice that he, like everyone else, had weather-skinned skin, so they treated him like that. A little closer.
"Boss Li, please stop talking. If you keep talking, we will be even more embarrassed."
"Hahaha, okay, let's not talk about it then." Tang Ping smiled boldly: "It's fate that we bump into each other in a foreign country. Why don't you all have a few drinks at my place today, and you won't come back until you're drunk! "
At this moment, Xiao Luo came over and whispered: "Sir, Master Soga Ezo, Master Soga Rika and Master Wang Chen'er from Fuso have all sent invitations and want to invite you to the banquet."
"If you don't go, just tell them that I have distinguished guests today and I don't have time."
Tang Ping's approach naturally gained a lot of goodwill. These senior Fusang officials were rarely seen in normal times. Today they took the initiative to invite him to a banquet, but Tang Ping simply refused because of them. How did these Tang Ping businessmen treat Tang Ping? I was so impressed that I fell to the ground.
"Stop talking, Boss Li, I will punish myself with three drinks today to make amends to you!"
"Hahaha." Tang Ping pointed at him and said, "You know that I'm going to bring out some good wine today, so you plan to trick me into drinking it, right?"
"(The original poem of the Department Store Flag Pavilion is a thousand pieces, so you readers don’t need to go into details.)
Tang Ping is definitely a naming genius, what do you think? "
