Chapter 307: Shi Wengong's Mess
Jia Yi was a little worried about Wu Yong's body: "It's windy outside, are you really not coming in?"
Wu Yong refused: "You don't know that I get motion sickness, or ride a horse more comfortably, don't worry, I have brought the medicine of the Taoist, and it will definitely be fine." ”
They brought a chauffeur this time, but they didn't need Ayi to drive.
As soon as Jia saw that he couldn't convince Wu Yong, he could only give up temporarily.
Wu Yong first went to the shops that Shi Wengong had just sold to him this year.
Because these shops have changed owners for the first time, they are not familiar with Wu Yong, so Wu Yong thought about checking their accounts first, and if there are any problems, they can also spend more time to solve them.
Fortunately, the shopkeepers of these shops are all personally selected by Shi Wengong, and some are even managed by retired soldiers in Shi Wengong's army, who may not have any talent in operation, but they are still completely fine in terms of loyalty.
However, even if Wu Yong had made mental preparations in advance, when he actually arrived at a store, he was still shocked by the desolation of the store, and almost no customers came to the door.
When they saw Wu Yong and the four of them enter the store, the shopkeeper and Xiao Er in the store were all bright-eyed and greeted them together.
The shopkeeper greeted, "What do the guests want to see?" The shopkeeper didn't even dare to ask Wu Yong what they wanted to buy, he just wanted Wu Yong to let them stay for a while longer, so as to add some popularity to their shop.
After Wu Yong felt his thoughts, he couldn't cry or laugh a little, and hurriedly revealed his identity: "I'm here to check the accounts, General Shi should have told you before, right?" My surname is Wu, you can call me Master Wu." ”
When the shopkeeper heard this, he was startled: "Hello the owner, please come inside." While letting Wu Yong go inside, he motioned for Xiao Er to prepare tea.
Wu Yong was not in a hurry to look at the accounts, and planned to ask about the situation first, with their kind of cold appearance, the accounts would be not good without looking at them.
Wu Yong didn't think that Shi Wengong was insincere, but he was afraid that the situation of the store he left for him would only get worse.
The shopkeeper's surname Wang, although he was a little nervous, still honestly reported the situation on their side, and then hung his head and was silent, as if he was waiting to be heard.
Wu Yong felt that it was expected, it was indeed a bit embarrassing to let a military man who was originally straight to go to the shopping mall, and Shi Wengong was obviously not able to arrange it at the beginning, so Shi Wengong didn't care about it, otherwise it would have collapsed a long time ago.
Wu Yong naturally didn't want to see a store abandoned like this, so he decided to read the account book first and then say, "Bring me the account book and the details of the items in the store." "Wu didn't say much superfluous.
The shopkeeper obediently went to get the account book, and Xiao Er brought the tea.
After the account books and details were sent, Wu Yong sent the shopkeeper Wang to visit the store, and Jia Yi and his two children also stayed outside, in order to stabilize the morale of the army.
Shopkeeper Wang sat at the counter a little depressed, not knowing where he was going to make a living in the future, and the little two also quietly gathered together and whispered.
Wu Yong looked at it all morning, the accounts were very clear, the shopkeeper Wang obviously had also read the book, but the profit of the store was enough to support these people, Wu Yong had seen the details, the quality of these items was also good, and the price was quite reasonable, but I don't know why no one came to buy it.
Wu Yong put away the account books, came outside, called the shopkeeper and the juniors together, and asked them, "Why do you think there is no business here?"
Shopkeeper Wang and the little two looked at each other, how did they know, if they knew, they would definitely find a way.
The shopkeeper said cautiously: "Because our things are not good, the price is too high?" But they buy the best goods, and the high price is also a matter of course, otherwise they will definitely lose even more.
The little two are naturally even more thoughtless.
Wu Yong: "Okay, anyway, it's going to be closed for nearly a year, and I don't care about the profits in the past few days, you go to the street these days to see how other people's families are doing business, and what their goods and prices are, you report to me in three days, and we will discuss it again." Wu Yong still hopes that they can find and solve problems by themselves, after all, they can't stay here forever.
The shopkeeper and the little two agreed in confusion, although the proprietor acted a little strangely, but it didn't seem to drive them away, then they would definitely work hard, even if they didn't know what to do.
For the next three days, Wu Yong urged them to go out early every day, and after they went out, he also took two students out to investigate and understand, leaving only A to watch the store alone.
Their behavior made the shops on the left and right think that they were not going to do business, and from time to time someone would come to Jiayi to ask if the store was going to change hands.
The shops on this street are still quite popular, and there are many people who covet this location.
A reported these situations to Wu Yong, and Wu Yong asked A to pay attention to who they were, and the fact that the store has no profit does not rule out malicious competition.
Three days later, the shopkeeper Wang and the little two came back with a haggard look and the situation they inquired, obviously the situation of other stores gave them a lot of blows, they still knew for the first time that there was so much attention to doing business, when to reduce the price, when to raise the price, when to promote, how to attract customers, there was too much knowledge in it, they even felt that these three days were not enough, and they also understood why Wu Yong let them out.
Wu Yong didn't say anything, listened to the news they collected throughout the whole process, and watched them talk eloquently one by one, his heart was still quite gratified, it seemed that they had not lost their sharpness as soldiers, and they didn't need to find another person, which also saved a lot of trouble.
After they finished speaking, Wu Yong said lightly: "Now I know how to run the store, right? If I give you another three months, can you earn the profit for me?" Wu Yong didn't ask for more, just 1,000 taels.
Shopkeeper Wang already had a lot of ideas at this time, but he was still a little worried: "What if we can't do it?"
After all, there is a difference between knowing what others do and doing it yourself.
Wu Yong: "Don't do anything, you are General Shi's people, I naturally won't treat you badly, but when the time comes, I will match you with a few people, as your assistants, and they will help you revitalize this shop hand in hand." "It's just that when the time comes, it's going to be hard for them to be as free as they are now.
