Gao Lingyun felt happy when he thought of the box of silver that Shen Anran gave him. If he transferred all the shops in his hands to Shen Anran, the reward he would get would not even be three hundred taels of silver.
But after all this trouble, he got a thousand taels of silver in vain, and he didn't suffer any loss at all.
"You still understand my feelings, sir. It's a pity for you to be a servant. Master, I really want to give you a sum of money so that you can go out and start your own business."
"Master, are you telling the truth?"
The servant's eyes shone brightly, and Gao Lingyun immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing when he replied. He was determined not to pay the servant to go out and start his own business.
At that time, Shen Wenchang gave Gao Changfu a large amount of money out of kindness and allowed him to start his own business. It was impossible for him to have the high government he later had!
In that case, the Shen Mansion would not have an enemy like him, so with the lessons learned from the past, Gao Lingyun would definitely not give his servants a chance to set up their own independent business.
"That depends on how well you perform. If you are dedicated to serving the government, it is not impossible for you to have an independent business."
Gao Lingyun is a very thief, taking advantage of the desires of his subordinates to do his own things.
"Master, from now on, my life belongs to the Gaofu! As long as you give the order, I will have absolutely no complaints!"
The servant believed it was true and immediately expressed his loyalty in front of Gao Lingyun, which greatly benefited Gao Lingyun.
Shennongtang, which has a plaque over there, has already been undergoing renovation work. The craftsmen removed all the original decorations and renovated them according to the design drawings given by Shen Anran.
"My dear nephew, I didn't expect you to break such a difficult bone! Your ability is really great!"
Looking at the shop being repaired, Wang Youwei smiled from ear to ear, and his eyes turned into the shape of crescent moons.
In fact, Shen Anran's abilities go beyond that. This time he not only successfully obtained Wangpu, but also became a creditor of Gaofu! Moreover, Gao Lingyun was severely cheated.
"It's just~but~I feel quite uneasy. I don't know whether to say something or not~"
Suddenly Wang Youwei thought of something and began to look embarrassed. He had something to say but he was hesitant.
"Uncle Wang, feel free to speak out if you have anything to say. Keeping it in your heart is a taboo in business."
Seeing what Shen Anran said, Wang Youwei felt confident and boldly expressed his inner thoughts.
"My dear nephew, there used to be only three or four drug stores in Shennongtang, Shangjing, so the customers were relatively concentrated and the business of each store was booming. But now that so many new stores have been opened, will our business be affected? ?”
The meaning of Wang Youwei's words is very clear. The number of people in Beijing is limited, and the number of people who get sick every day is also limited. If the number of people who get sick cannot increase, opening so many drug stores will definitely cause losses.
Doing business does not mean making money by taking out the proceeds to earn the difference, but it requires a reserve space. For example, the average daily profit of a drug store is one hundred taels of silver, but its daily profit is only fifty taels. Two, this is a loss.
After all, a lot of money is consumed in the early stage of setting up a drug store, labor, purchasing goods, and even managing relationships with senior officials. If all this money is covered by only a small profit, then it will have to wait until the end of the year of the monkey?
"I didn't expect that businessmen of this era would already have such business acumen. It really opened my eyes."
After hearing Wang Youwei's analysis, Shen Anran re-examined the wisdom of the ancients. Many modern merchants can't calculate accounts clearly, but Wang Youwei did it in a clear and logical way.
"Uncle Wang, I have already thought about this. We can launch some activities to promote consumption, such as getting back as much as you spend, giving you eggs when you recharge as a member, getting points when buying medicine, using points to redeem goods, etc. In the early stage, we can even use discounts. If we use a one-stop approach to promote the pharmacy, I believe the effect will be very significant!”
Pharmacies in the 21st century can be seen everywhere. You can see a pharmacy at a distance of 180 meters on every street in the town. You often pass by the door. Their marketing methods have been learned by Shen Anran.
Especially when paired with the gimmick of a certain Xixi knife, I believe it won’t take too long for Shennongtang to become famous throughout the country!
"My nephew is really quick-thinking, isn't he? I don't quite understand it, uncle. Can you just watch it?"
Wang Youwei just expressed a concern, and Shen Anran said a lot of unheard of business methods, which surprised Wang Youwei.
This young man is so thoughtful that he can safely and boldly leave Shennong Hall in charge of him.
As for him, Wang Youwei, he will only be a hands-off shopkeeper from now on, which may be realized soon.
On the street, the servant of the Gao family who was responsible for keeping an eye on the situation went back and reported Shen Anran's every move to Gao Lingyun.
"What are you talking about? All the shops have been demolished and renovated? How much money will this cost? His Shennongtang is making such rapid progress, it seems that he is confident about this business? How about~ Let's try to join it too? "
The Gao family originally relied on a sum of money provided by Shen Wenchang to do business, so the whole family attached great importance to business. Now that all the shops in the Gao Mansion have been closed down, they are worried about having no business. Yes, if Shennongtang can run smoothly as written in the plan, it will definitely earn money very quickly.
What's more, the first ten merchants to join can also enjoy the full-service escort plan, and they don't need to spend any money to repair and lay out the containers. Why can't you give it a try?
"Master, you have to think about this carefully. If you really join Shennongtang, will you have to do things based on Shen Anran's face in the future?"
"And you also know that the eldest young master~ the eldest young master Gao Mingxuan also beat to death Wang Youwei's only son. No matter what, our Gao family also has grudges with Shennongtang. Will he treat us well?"
The eyes of the two servants rolled around, and what they said did make some sense.
Gao Lingyun disliked the Shen family, especially when he saw Shen Anran. If he really joined Shennongtang, he would have to live by the looks of others. How could he be as comfortable as doing business on his own?
What's more, the real master of Shennongtang is Wang Youwei, and his son died in the hands of Gao Mingxuan. Even if he is now on the road to exile in the frontier, Wang Youwei's hatred for losing his son cannot be resolved!
"Yes, yes, your analysis makes sense. I absolutely cannot join Shennongtang."
Gao Lingyun's main purpose is to listen to advice. This is the fundamental reason why Gao Changfu looks down on him. A person who does not have his own independent thoughts and follows other people's advice on everything will not achieve much.
Gao Mingxuan, on the other hand, is just the opposite. He has all kinds of strange ideas and can always make suggestions and solve urgent needs when Gao Changfu needs it most.
This was not because Gao Mingxuan's idea was so good that Gao Changfu had the right to report to the Palace of Hell in advance. It could be said to be a glorious moment for Gao Mansion.
"You two have more active minds. Please help me think about it. What kind of business should we turn around in the future? My head is empty right now!"
Since joining Shennongtang was unavailable, he had to start from other places. However, Gao Lingyun couldn't think of a suitable industry for a while, so he had to pin his hopes on the two dog-headed military advisors.
"His~ From what I've seen, Wang Youwei can do business in Chinese herbal medicines, and so can our high-ranking government officials!"
"That's right! Shennongtang's ability to open a pharmacy on such a scale means that the Chinese herbal medicine business is very profitable. If we also learn this way to open a pharmacy, I believe it won't take long for us to become prosperous!"
The wonderful performance of the two servants singing and harmonizing impressed Gao Lingyun with admiration. The saliva from the two of them flew around and even landed in Gao Lingyun's mouth without being blamed.
As the saying goes, where there is a crouching dragon, there must be a phoenix chick. These two talents made Gao Lingyun very fond of them.
"We have two intelligent people like you in our Gaofu, so we don't have to worry about making money! I really love you two to death!"
As he spoke, Gao Lingyun immediately gave him a bear hug, held the two servants tightly in his arms, and kissed the two servants again and again on their foreheads, like chickens pecking at rice.
"Listen up, you two. Our Shen Mansion only has one thousand taels of silver left. We use 500 taels for daily expenses and the remaining 500 taels for business. I will leave the purchase channel of these medicinal materials to you two. Someone got through it! Is there any problem?"
