Chapter 335: Say No to Monopoly!
Originally, these businessmen were actually quite satisfied when they heard Han Yi explain the plan in detail, but they never expected that Han Yi would give them such a contract.
This tube is inevitably too wide.
Say yes and be free.
In addition, the price is already higher than the two cities.
They hope to have a "good" exchange with Han Yi and reduce the price.
But Han Yi didn't show any intention of negotiating, either abide by it or leave.
The choice is very simple.
In fact, from the very beginning, Han Yi has never defined himself as a businessman, he has defined himself as a leader, a person who customizes the rules, not just a participant, everything he does is not to say how much money he wants to make for himself, but to create a perfect market.
Based on the gap between him and these businessmen, he doesn't feel that there is anything to follow their advice, in his personal opinion, as far as your little business skills are concerned, don't do it here, do you know what a market is? Just do what I say.
The tone is very tough.
But the strange thing is that even if Han Yi said so, no one left.
This is all because after the Zhenguan period of cultivation and recuperation, the economy of the Tang Dynasty has begun to recover, but the two cities have not changed anything, and they are almost unable to accommodate the economy of an international metropolis.
Of course, Han Yi didn't let them sign a contract immediately, and after the introduction, he ordered someone to take them to North Lane to visit.
When Han Yi was planning North Lane, he had already thought about what goods he wanted to introduce, the main storefront. They are all the daily necessities of the aristocracy and some large landowners, and they are too extravagant goods, and he does not plan to introduce them at present, so their decorations are very targeted, such as Zheng Shanxing's clothing store, which has a fitting room. If you sell food in this store, you will waste the fitting room, so you can only sell clothes. He has already planned everything, and he can come in with the goods and open the shop.
Of course, this also heralds the freedom of no change.
What stores are arranged in what location, these are also particular. It is impossible to put the flower shop next to the steamed bun shop, and the flowers will become steamed buns.
Although there is no freedom in choosing the storefront, in any case, the decoration of the storefront in North Lane. The layout is very ahead of the times, making reasonable use of every inch of space, although the shops are smaller than the two cities, but it feels not small, and many of the designs for the columns of goods are to the point of being surprising.
With these designs alone, the decoration fee is definitely worth it.
Just as a group of merchants were watching in North Lane. Suddenly, there was another group of people outside, dressed in alien costumes. Brown hair, looking like a Persian.
The merchants looked sideways.
"Look, isn't that Ramshid?"
"What is he doing here?"
"What else can you do, this cunning Persian merchant must still be here to do business."
"Hey, little brother. Do you Fengfeilou also have a relationship with Ramheed? β
"Oh, we don't know."

Han Yi didn't accompany them to visit, mainly because he didn't want those businessmen to have their thoughts, but it is conceivable that if he went. Anyway, he didn't plan to give them room to negotiate, so he simply didn't go, sitting in the backyard and sipping fragrant tea, saying too much just now, and his mouth was a little dry.
And Liu E was also relieved, she had been worried that Han Yi would speak amazingly again and offend these businessmen, although Han Yi was still very strong, but at least she didn't quarrel, so she was satisfied, and asked Han Yi: "Brother Han, do you say they will sign a contract with us?" β
To be honest, she was very apprehensive in her heart, especially after seeing the contract that Han Yi was going to write, she was even more worried about it, because there were too many conditions, and it was really Feng Feilou's complete dominance.
However, the harsh conditions of North Lane are different from those of the two cities, all the terms of North Lane are for buying and selling services, while the two cities are aimed at public security and political matters, and all the rules are based on the policies of the imperial court.
Han Yi said with a smile: "If you don't sign a contract with us today, you will definitely regret it after half a year, and then they will have to spend three times the price if they want to enter our North Lane." Sister Liu, you should not see us as people who ask for people, but as people who are begged, and this situation will continue in your life, because there will be more and more people who ask us in the future. We have to let them understand from the moment they haven't signed yet, that we have the final say. β
Liu E smiled and nodded, but she was secretly surprised in her heart, was this really the words of a person who was less than twenty years old.
You must know that those businessmen are all old foxes, but in the negotiation just now, Han Yi was obviously in an overwhelming position, and refuted their complaints one by one, leaving them speechless.
At this moment, a subordinate walked in and said, "Brother Xiaoyi, Sister Liu, there is a Persian merchant named Ramhid outside who asks to see you. β
"Ramheed?"
Liu E was taken aback.
Han Yi was surprised: "Why are you so surprised, it can't be your old lover, right?" β
"What nonsense are you talking about."
Liu E snorted and said, "This Ramhid is amazing!" β
Han Yi was curious: "How to solve it?" β
"He is a big merchant from Persia, and he is also very famous in our Chang'an, and even the royal family buys rouge and spices from them."
"So powerful?"
"Really, really, if he can come to us to do business, it will be of great benefit to our reputation in North Lane."
Han Yi squinted at Liu E and said, "Sister Liu, do you know what you look like now?" β
Liu E was stunned and said, "Like what?" β
Han Yi said: "I just want a woman who prays to heaven for a man, and God meets your request." β
Liu E was stunned, but the person reacted first, poofed, and then closed his mouth tightly.
"Brother Han, you're reallyβso shameless."
Liu E couldn't be angry. scolded directly.
Han Yiquan listened to the compliment, laughed, and said to the subordinate who was about to be unable to hold back: "Please come in." β
"Yes."
Liu E was entangled again: "It's Ramheed." β
"Yes, yes, Ramheed."
Han Yi laughed.
After a while, I saw five people coming in from outside. The first person, dressed in satin clothes, with a burly figure, a high nose and deep eyes, and a large handful of coffee-colored beards on his face, knew that this person must be Ramheed. And he was accompanied by four servants, each with a gift in his hand.
Han Yi stood up to greet him. He arched his hand and said: "Mr. Ram is here, and the humble house is really full of splendor." β
Ramheed arched his hand in a similar manner, but his face was full of doubts, and he said, "Dare to ask Your Excellency?" β
Han Yi smiled: "Under Han Yi." β
Ramhid was stunned, couldn't help but look at Han Yi, and said, "You are the proprietor of this Fengfei Tower." β
Han Yi said: "Exactly." β
Ramhid was stunned for a while before he said, "I really didn't expect Han Dong to be so young." β
"Mr. Ram, there is a saying among us that is. You canβt judge a book by its cover. β
Han Yi said half-jokingly, then stretched out his hand and said, "Please inside." β
"Han Dongzhu is really funny and humorous." Ramhid laughed. Then he stretched out his hand and said, "Please." β
Several people came to the hall and sat down.
Ramhid leaned forward slightly, and said: "Ram took the liberty to visit, and where he was disturbed, I hope that Han Dongzhu will forgive me, a meager gift, not a respect." β
He has been in Chang'an for many years. He is also very proficient in Chinese.
The four subordinates behind him immediately presented the gifts in their hands.
Han Yi first motioned for Liu E to let him give the gift, and then said to Ramshid: "If Mr. Ram is here to seek cooperation, then it is our fault, we have not taken care of it." β
Ramhid said: "What Han Dongzhu said is right, I came here today to cooperate with your store. β
Liu E reacted very quickly this time. Hurriedly said: "That's really sorry, if I knew that Mr. Ram was also interested, we would definitely send someone to send Mr. Ram an invitation." β
Ramhid waved his hand and said: "Mrs. Liu is polite, I only recently came to Chang'an, and I have never been in contact with your store before, so it is reasonable that your store did not invite me." β
Han Yi said with a smile: "But no matter what, we all have responsibilities, isn't it all about shouting when we do business, how can we sit at home and wait for guests to come to the door, we have done this really badly." Sister Liu, please quickly ask someone to bring our planning map, and Mr. Ram and I will explain the planning of our North Lane. β
Before Liu E nodded, Ramheed said: "Don't worry, before I came here, I had already sent someone to inquire, and I was deeply impressed by Han Dongzhu's plan, and I was full of expectations for our cooperation." But before that, I have a proposal that is directly related to our cooperation. β
Han Yi smiled: "Please speak." β
Ramhid said, "I wish I could be the only Persian merchant in your North Lane. β
Han Yi was stunned for a moment and said, "If I understand correctly, what Mr. Ram means is that in the future, Beixiang will only allow your family to sell goods from Persia." β
Ramheed smiled: "Han Dongzhu is really a smart person, that's exactly what I mean." β
Han Yi shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I can't agree." β
Ramhid probably didn't expect Han Yi to refuse, but he was stunned and said, "If Brother Han agrees, we can pay double the rent." β
Liu E looked at Han Yi, her eyes flashing, as if she hoped that Han Yi would agree.
Han Yi said: "Don't say double, even if it's ten times, I won't agree." β
Ramhid was surprised: "Why? My goods are of the highest quality, even your Tang royal family has my spices and rouge, if we can come here and open a store, it will help you attract a lot of customers. β
Han Yi smiled and said, "In that case, why do you want to open a store here, you should have stores in both cities." β
Ramheed was silent.
Han Yi said: "If I'm not mistaken, what you value is Women's Day, because most of your products are for women." β
Liu E suddenly realized, she was very surprised in her heart, she didn't expect that she just said casually just now, and Han Yi guessed Ramheed's intentions.
Ramhid said: "Even so, we can pay double the rent, and we can make concessions in other aspects, isn't this business just to make money, I can't think of why you and I rejected my proposal, Lord Han." β
Han Yi smiled: "What Mr. Ram said is right, and I rejected your proposal for the purpose of making money." I don't think Mr. Ram is a man who beats around the bush, so I'll be straight to the point. If we only have one store in North Lane that sells rouge and spices, then how much it sells is up to you, and no one will compete with you, but if there are several stores competing together, the price will definitely be lower, then the guests in my North Lane will buy their favorite goods at a lower price, and more customers will come, and North Lane will become more and more prosperous.
And the purpose of our North Lane is free trade, and I hope that North Lane is full of competition, not a monopoly, which will be very unfavorable to us. Yes, you gave me double the rent, but it also means that it may be difficult for our rent to go up. On the flip side, if Mr. Ram's goods are the best, then why worry about others competing with you? β
