After taking a turn from the outside, Xu Ke said: "Xiaguan went out for a turn, and estimated that he should be able to sell 5,000 yuan of goods today." With 20% interest, the interest can be about 1,000 yuan. A thousand a day, you can get hundreds of thousands a year. Lift, this mall makes a lot of money! ”

Du Zhongxiao said: "At the beginning of these two days, there will naturally be more goods sold." After a while, wait until the daily sales stabilize to know how many goods to sell and how much money to make every day. Moreover, the shopping mall sells goods like flowing water, making money every day, which is different from other businesses. Twenty percent interest, for ordinary businessmen, this business will not be able to do and make no money. But for the shopping mall, it is to use a very small amount of capital to earn these two profits. Not in one day, but in one month, the profit is not two. In years, it's even more terrifying. ”

Tsui Hark nodded: "The mall opened, and I realized why Tiju emphasized that this business is different from ordinary business." It is not only the ratio of interest to capital, but also how much time it takes to purchase and how much time to sell. The shorter the time, the lower the interest rate, it is worth it. ”

In retail business, capital turnaround time is crucial, and the shorter the time from purchase to sale, the better. Although the current Jingxi Road procurement is mainly on credit, it is not a long-term solution. In order to ensure quality, grasp the initiative, and stimulate production, some may pay a deposit.

When the commercial system of Jingxi Road is formed, with fixed producers and purchase channels, the money will be more profitable in the future. With the support of the local government, you can sell on credit from the producers and pay after a few months, so the profit margin will be very amazing. With the support of cash flow, it can be crushed against other competitors.

Seeing that it was not early, Tsui Hark said: "Lift, let's go out and have some wine and rice." There are a lot of food and drink places and stalls, many of which we can't eat before, so let's try them. ”

Du Zhongxiao said: "Okay." The stalls there have put a lot of thought into it, not only the tastes of Kaifeng Mansion and Jingxi Road, but also the flavors of Hedong Road. There are so many tricks that I haven't seen before. When you have been doing it for a long time, you can also invite famous artists from all over the world, and there are flavors from all over the world. ”

Tsui Hark shook his head and smiled: "It's a little difficult. Fancheng is not a big place, how can people from other places come to eat? ”

Du Zhongxiao said: "What's so difficult? Do you think that only this place in Fancheng has a shopping mall? This is just the beginning. I mentioned Jingxi Road Changping, all states and counties should build shopping malls. All places are linked together to purchase goods in a unified manner, and these ancillary eating, drinking, and entertainment are naturally complementary. ”

What does a shopping mall do? The huge procurement system is expensive, and no matter how much money you make, you may not end up with much money left. It is necessary to open shopping malls in all states and counties along the road, form a network, and share procurement and logistics systems in order to make money. If it is done well, it can be promoted to the whole country in the future and form a business network all over the country. As long as the procurement and logistics are done well, the national business will be pinched together, and retail will become the fruit of this big tree, and the future will be limitless.

At the heart of this is procurement and logistics, and the network is enough to change the entire economic landscape. In this way, production and consumption can be promoted, and a unified national market can be formed, and the value cannot be overestimated. Du Zhongxiao's energy is on the logistics system, and retail does not put much effort into it.

Out of the yamen, Du Zhongxiao and Tsui Hark took a few retinues and headed east.

There is a cattle and horse market, a livestock and poultry market, which is rented from vendors to sellers because it is inconvenient to purchase them in a unified manner. However, as with other goods, the tooth man has been eliminated, allowing consumers and sellers to trade directly, and shopping malls provide certain guarantees and services.

Then there is the meat market and the fish market, which are directly operated by the shopping mall, and there are many suppliers selling live animals next to it. There are some precious varieties, and the larger quantities are purchased directly from the shopping mall to the production area. For example, the famous necked bream, the mall even has its own fishing ground.

At this time, the population was still sparse, from the Central Plains to Jinghu Lake, there were many rivers, lakes and swamps. Emperor Taizong sometimes had an edict, and the people were allowed to take the fish and ducks in rivers, lakes, ponds, etc., and if they were sold, they would be taxed. The same is true here in Xiangzhou, where the Han River and its tributaries, together with a large number of Pitang, have a vast water surface. Unlike later generations, ducks and fish are not much different, and they are everywhere in rivers and lakes, and they are hunted as they go, and few people deliberately breed them. In many places, ducks are semi-free-range, gathered with feed or other methods when needed, tied up and sold. Rivers and lakes are not only wild ducks, but also a large number of domesticated ducks.

People who live by lakes and rivers often have only a few families in one or two decades, and they do not need to look after their livestock and property, and they are afraid of being stolen by others. There are only a few households, and the water surface is swampy, and there is no need for this. Unlike densely populated places, you have to watch a chicken carefully, and if you can't prevent it, you won't know which one will be eaten.

Further south, the same goes for cattle farming. They are all stocked in swampy meadows. The cattle of their own herd, branded, do not care. At a fixed time every year, the cattle are brought to the cattle pen and the right ones are selected to be sold.

After the meat market and fish market, there are all kinds of dried aquatic products, including marine fish from far away from the sea, and more freshwater fish from the vicinity. Ezhou is a water town Zeguo, which produces a lot of fish, and the bream, that is, salted fish, has long been sold all over the world. However, in this place, there are too many fresh fish, and those markets are not very good.

After that, it's all kinds of dry goods on land. Such as bamboo sunflowers, bacon and cured meat, everything. In the past, there was a vegetable market following the fruit market, which sold a variety of local and foreign vegetables. After the vegetable market, there are insects, fish, flowers and birds, cats and dogs and quails. After that, the taste faded away, and it was the eating area in the mall.

When Du Zhongxiao and Tsui Hark arrived, it was already very lively, and many seats were full of guests.

According to Du Zhongxiao's plan, an amusement park and a tile house will be built next to the eating area, but they are not yet ready. The playground attracts small children, and there is open space for people to kick and fly kites. Needless to say, Vasher is an entertainment place for the times.

All of these are built to be equivalent to a comprehensive market for future generations. However, it is sponsored by the government, and the commercial system covers the whole country.

Tsui Hark said: "Tiju, it's so lively here." What do we eat? ”

Du Zhongxiao said: "At noon, just use some simply." Find a clean shop, stir-fry winter bamboo shoots, and then steam a fish. ”

Tsui Hark responded and walked into a small shop next to him first. When the shopkeeper saw this, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute him.

The snack bar here rents the shop surface of the shopping mall, and the shopping mall manages hygiene and order in a unified manner, and Tsui Hark is naturally flattered by everyone.

After choosing a deputy seat under the shed, the master himself came over and asked, "Officer, what kind of wine and rice do you want to use today?" ”

Tsui Hark said: "A plate of fried pork slices with winter bamboo shoots to be tender." Stir-fry a plate of lotus root, a plate of green vegetables, steam a shrunken bream, and make a soup. Hit a pot of bamboo leaves and warm it on the side. ”

The master agreed, and hurried inside to order. The most famous wine here in Xiangyang is Yicheng County, there is Jinsha Spring in the county, which is famous for wine since ancient times, and is called "Jiuyu". Putting bamboo leaves into wine is a common practice in this era, and it is available in many places, and Yicheng is no exception.

Bamboo leaves into the wine, the wine is extremely clear, so the name bamboo leaves clear, at this time does not refer to the color of the wine. At this time, most of the wine was cloudy, and the sake was a great thing, and all of them were famous. Du Zhongxiao's liquor is not widely spread in this area, mainly in the northern region.
