After settling down, in the main hall of Gu Mansion, Gu Beichuan sat with a golden sword.
Li Dongbi was sitting on his left, but Zheng Jian was standing.
Gu Beichuan wanted him to sit down, but the dregs of the feudal era were difficult to remove for a while.
He always acted like a servant and was quite reserved when speaking and acting in front of Gu Beichuan, but he was no longer as free and natural as he had been at the beginning.
"Zheng Jian, tell me what you should pay attention to if you want to do business in Gandu." Gu Beichuan asked.
He has never forgotten his old profession. Since he will not be able to enter Tianqian Garden for a while, he will not see Xiang Zhirou.
So I can only get busy with business first, so as to expand Feihong's various businesses to Qiandu.
Hearing this, Zheng Jian did not answer immediately. Instead, he thought for a while before speaking, which seemed particularly cautious. After all, this job is hard-earned, and you should be more careful when working as a servant in a wealthy family.
Money is not that easy to earn these days.
"Master, if you are doing business in Qiannan Jing'anfang, there is nothing taboo about it."
"It's just that the location is better and the store is bigger, so that we can attract more customers."
"Of course, there are wines that are not afraid of deep alleys, but those are century-old brands. This is my first time here, so it's better to choose some popular places."
Gu Beichuan nodded when he heard this and said, "What kind of business can Qiannan do? I saw many restaurants and inns in Qiannan when I came here. I think most of them are food and accommodation businesses."
"No, among the four squares in Qiandu, Qiannan Jing'an Square is the largest. There are also a dazzling array of businesses, including everything."
"Those who are in the restaurant business, those who are in the cloth business, those who are in the tobacco business, you name it."
When Gu Beichuan heard this, he remained calm, but secretly nodded in his heart, but he underestimated the prosperity of Qiandu.
"What about Qandong? It is said that there is Yonglefang."
"The master is well-informed. He found out the secret of this Qianxi within a short time of coming here."
"The West is indeed Yonglefang, but most of its business is skin and flesh business."
"Most of them are brothels and Jiaofangsi. Most of the people who go to brothels are ordinary people or scholars."
"The best brothel is called Huamanlou. It is the property of the Fu family among the five major families in Qiandu."
"The best of the Jiaofang Division is Man Yuanchun, which is the property of the Sun family among the five great families!"
"In addition, there are many large and small brothels and brothels, and there are even a lot of lower-level hook-ups."
"That place has a very smokey atmosphere and is very popular among the young masters. It was originally a good place to do business, but it was all divided up by the Fu and Sun families."
"If I want to go, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it."
When Gu Beichuan heard this, he frowned and said, "Is it possible that Qian Xi can only do flesh and blood business?"
Neither he nor Feihong are particularly good at this aspect.
If we really want to compete with the already huge Fu and Sun family, I'm afraid it won't end well.
They don't even know where to recruit the female relatives to entertain guests, let alone others.
Zheng Jian seemed to have noticed Gu Beichuan's frown. He thought for a little longer this time and seemed more steady.
"I heard from people that there seem to be some people who are in the rouge and gouache business, and they are also doing well in Yonglefang."
When Gu Beichuan heard this, his eyes suddenly shone, he patted his thigh and said, "That's right! Why didn't I think of that!"
"Yonglefang has a prosperous leather and meat business, and there are many brothels. Those women who want to receive customers naturally need rouge and gouache."
"If we can win the rouge market in Qiandong, we can still make a lot of money even if we don't get involved in the skin and flesh business."
Gu Beichuan nodded with satisfaction and said, "Where is Qianxi?"
"The north is the restricted area of the palace. If I guessed correctly, among the remaining three lanes, Qianxi should be the most prosperous and have the most profitable businesses."
Hearing this, Zheng Jian nodded at first, confirming Gu Beichuan's statement, and then started to hesitate and hesitate.
"If you have anything to say, just say it. There is no need to hide it."
Hearing Gu Beichuan's words, he said, "Sir, the business in Zhengdefang in Qianxi is the most profitable, but those who can do business here have some background."
"On the surface, they are just ordinary merchants, but behind the scenes, they are either the property of officials or the property of nobles."
"The hands of ordinary businessmen cannot reach this place."
Zheng Jian cared about Gu Beichuan's face and spoke beautifully.
But the real meaning is that you, a foreigner from afar, want to do business, so you can just mess around in Qiannan and Qiandong.
If you want to compete with the most powerful local snake in Ganxi, you will probably get tired of living.
When Gu Beichuan heard this, instead of frowning, he grinned.
He had anticipated this situation before coming.
But so what? He cleared his throat and said loudly: "It doesn't matter, you just open a shop in Zhengde Square."
"As for the title, the one who beats Zhengyang Marquis is the one."
When Zheng Jian heard this, his heart trembled, and he raised his head in surprise, with a look of shock on his face.
"Sir, you... still know Marquis Zhengyang?"
Gu Beichuan responded with a smile and said: "This business is a partnership between Zhengyang Hou and me. He contributes the reputation, and I contribute the money and effort."
"So just use this name, don't have too many scruples."
Zheng Jian nodded and said, "In this case, I feel confident."
"The Marquis of Zhengyang is a marquis. Even in Zhengde Square where the ground is full of riches and purples, he can be regarded as a very noble group of nobles."
"With his name, as long as we don't go too far, others will not dare to say anything."
Gu Beichuan nodded when he heard this and said, "That's it for now. Tomorrow, you can visit all three workshops to find out the situation."
"First I'll find a place in Qiannan. I want to recruit workers and open a workshop."
"As for other business shops, we can postpone it later and take our time."
Hearing this, Zheng Jian nodded in agreement.
In this way, Gu Beichuan's business in Qiandu officially started.
The first thing to be built was Feihong Workshop, located in Qiannan, which was a bit out of the way. It's just a workshop, not a shop. It doesn't matter if it's out of the way, at least it's cheaper.
As for the scale, it is larger than Nanshan Workshop.
When he heard that Yonglefang could start a rouge and gouache business, Gu Beichuan decided to produce the perfumes, lipsticks, facial masks and soaps of later generations.
These gadgets are simply a killer for Daqian, a country where soap locust is used to wash hair.
What woman can resist?
Then make the glass into a mirror and sell it in pieces!
After the workshop was built, it was natural to recruit people.
Although Qiandu is the capital of Daqian and is extremely prosperous, not everyone is a dignitary. There are still many working people like Zheng Jian who are short of work.
Feihong's treatment is good, so it's not difficult to recruit people.
After the work in the workshop is finished, the other shops will be built one by one.
It's nothing more than buying land, building a shop, and recruiting people.
Gu Beichuan was too lazy to bother, so he left it all to Zheng Jian.
There should have been some trouble, but as soon as they heard that it was the property of Marquis Zhengyang, they all stopped and did not dare to make a fuss.
It can be seen that this sign is still useful.
Even in Qianxi, Marquis Zhengyang was a top noble.
In this way, Feihong's plan to land in Qiandu officially started, and everything began to get on track and prospered.
