Chapter 822: Initial Results

Donate money and food to the Patriotic Chamber of Commerce, and everyone will come to the price reduction lottery.

On the second day after Liu Yiyi said that he would receive two million yuan in March, as if in response to confirm Liu Yiyi's words, the business of the Liu Chamber of Commerce in various places became extremely hot in an instant.

Love me Datang, shop Liu's. Like a popular storm, in just half a month, it has swept from Chang'an to all parts of the country, Liu's seems to have become a patriotic symbol, people have developed a kind of inertial thinking of shopping to Liu's, as if shopping without going to Liu's Chamber of Commerce to express that they don't love Datang.

Crowds of people, scrambling to buy, especially after someone draws the jackpot and is cashed on the spot, whether it is a big city or a small city, people are stimulated as if they are enchanted, all shopping, will be based on the consistent silver money lottery bottom line as the standard, in order to try their luck, just can't get the jackpot, can get a second prize and three prizes is also good.

The more people who draw the lottery, the greater the probability of the grand prize being drawn, and every time the jackpot is drawn, it will once again cause a new shopping boom, the goods in reserve of the shops around the Liu's are decreasing, and the money earned is like a snowball rolling bigger and bigger, more and more, while being busy, the shopkeepers around the country are also smiling all day long.

As the general person in charge of Liu's "get drunk" and wine, Liu Cheng only needs to sit in the Sanyuan headquarters, collect money, keep accounts, and count every day, and he is also very busy.

150,000?!

It's only been a day, how can it be so much?!

The share of one day has far exceeded the total sales volume of the usual month, and Liu Cheng, who couldn't believe it, hurriedly calculated it again carefully from beginning to end.

That's right, 153,526 guan, and this is only the input of the restaurant's wine, if coal, tea, cotton clothes and quilts are also like the restaurant, then their Liu's sales on this day can at least exceed 500,000 guan?

Liu Cheng suddenly felt that what their young master said yesterday was too modest, according to the current sales speed of their Chamber of Commerce, raising two million yuan of silver, how could it take three months, one month is enough.

No, a happy event like this must be reported to the young master as soon as possible.

So, regardless of the fatigue of the day, Liu Cheng, who was overjoyed in his heart, rushed back to the Liu Manor in Gutian Village from Sanyuan overnight, and only then did he know that Chen Ming, who was in charge of tea and cotton, and Liu Chongzhou, who was in charge of the grocery store, also returned to the house together.

"Back to the young master, Cheng sold here for a total of 153,000 yuan."

"Back to the young master, Ming Ze sold a total of 282,000 yuan in cash here."

"Back to the young master, Chongzhou was sold here for a total of 188,000 yuan."

In front of Liu Yiyi, the three of them returned in turn, and Liu Yiyi sat there quietly and listened carefully, without a little excitement and surprise on his face, as if it was a matter of course to achieve such results today, and there was no need to make a fuss.

"You can achieve such results on the first day," Seeing that the owner did not speak, Liu Wuchen said on the side: "It shows that the young master's promotion strategy this time is extraordinary, and three months is enough for our Liu Chamber of Commerce to recover the previous loss of two million yuan." After six months or a year, the assets of the Chamber of Commerce will also double. ”

After this period of hype, the patriotic image and integrity reputation of the Liu's Chamber of Commerce have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, coupled with the fact that their Liu's goods are already of good quality, and most of them are single-production, after the donation turmoil, Liu's business will also become bigger and bigger.

"How can it take three months, according to the results, one month is enough." Liu Cheng interjected with a red face, his two small eyes flashing brightly, full of confidence.

"That's it," Chen Ming and Liu Chongzhou also said excitedly on the side: "It's only the first day that I have already got more than 600,000 yuan of silver, how can 2 million yuan be used for as long as three months?" ”

The implication is that not to mention March, that is, January is a bit conservative and a little long.

"Compared to Brother Wuchen, the three of you still owe some heat after all." Looking up at the three of them, Liu Yiyi spoke up for the first time: "I have been a steward and shopkeeper for several years, but I still haven't completely wiped out the frizziness and quick success on your body. ”

"Please advise the young master!" With a smile on their faces, the three of them glanced at each other, and they all confessed their mistakes to their hosts, and at the same time wondered what they had done wrong.

"Brother Wuchen," ignoring the three of them, Liu Yiyi turned his head to look at Liu Wuchen, and said softly: "Brother Wuchen has seen the clues, why don't you tell them?" Let them remember for a long time, lest they be like this time in the future, and they will their tails self-righteously and arrogantly, and they will not know where their shortcomings lie. ”

"Yes, young master." Responding respectfully, Liu Wuchen turned around and glanced at Liu Cheng and the others, and said lightly: "Today's income of more than 600,000 yuan, thanks to the novel marketing strategy proposed by the young master, is a surprise win, the key is a strange word, many useless." In other words, after today, the novelty of the first time is no longer there, and the customers that can be attracted will also be reduced by the lack of freshness, and it is unlikely that the money you will earn in the future will not exceed today. ”

"In the future, the number of customers in the store will only decrease day by day until it reaches a stable normal value." Liu Wuchen said: "It is estimated that the cycle of customer decay should be limited to half a month, that is, after all the discounts of the Chamber of Commerce are over, the sales situation in the store will no longer be as hot as before, and the profit of one day will be less than one-tenth of today." ”

"There is another one," Liu Wuchen glanced at their young master, and then said: "In the past two years, the natural disasters in the Tang Dynasty have continued, and the lives of the people in the territory are very poor, and there will not be too much money available for consumption in their hands, so the people who can afford to spend in our Liu Chamber of Commerce may only be a small number of people who have a little more money at hand." After this small group of people has gone through the first consumption in Liu, it is impossible to make a second consumption in a short period of time. ”

"So," Liu Wuchen said to Liu Cheng and the others again: "We shouldn't be too optimistic now, if we want to get all the funds back in a month, it's unlikely." ”

"Brother Wuchen said well," said it thoroughly, and the analysis was also very comprehensive, if it was placed in the future generations, Liu Wuchen would definitely be a successful manager, Liu Yiyi nodded with satisfaction, and at the same time turned his head to Liu Cheng and the three of them and said: "Whether it is to survive or to be a person and do things, you can't just look at the present." ”

"This time, you only saw the high sales for one day today, but you didn't think about why this is happening, tomorrow the day after tomorrow or long after, will this situation continue forever, why?" Liu Yiyi said: "Especially Ming Ze, you are responsible for the sales and deployment of all cotton fabrics, in the case of better sales, haven't you noticed that the inventory in the warehouse is obviously not much, and it can't even last for three days?" ”

"Young master, I'm ......" Chen Ming blushed and opened his mouth, but he couldn't speak.

He knew the situation in the warehouse, but before, he never thought that the business of the cotton mill would be so good, and the original half a month's inventory was used up nearly half of it in one day today. Fang was carried away by the huge amount of 280,000 yuan, and he really didn't think that after today, their Liu clan would face the problem of a serious shortage of supply.

"Young Master," Seeing Chen Ming standing there speechless, Liu Wuchen said softly beside him: "At most, in ten days, Liu Bing's convoy will be able to return to Sanyuan, and then there will be no need to worry about the problem of raw materials, and there will be enough time to make the remaining unified suits. ”

"Overall planning, priority production." Liu Yiyi nodded lightly, Liu Wuchen thought of going with him, as long as he insisted on it for another ten days, and when Gaochang cotton was shipped back, all the problems would be solved.

"It's according to Brother Wuchen's wishes." Liu Yiyi whispered a few words, and then sent a few people down.

"Husband, Brother Liu, are they all gone?" Zhang Chuchu came in with a pot of hot tea, and when he saw that only Liu Yi was left in the small hall, he couldn't help but ask out in surprise.

"Naturally, they all went back." Liu Yiyi got up and took the teapot, and personally poured a bowl for his daughter-in-law, and said: "These days are busy, and a few of them need to contribute everywhere, so the husband didn't keep them for a long time, let them go back to rest earlier." ”

"I said that I haven't seen anyone in the past few days," Zhang Chuchu sat down opposite her husband on her knees, meekly watched her husband fill the tea bowl, and said softly: "Mother-in-law is still talking to the concubine during the day, saying that she hasn't seen Brother Liu Cheng for a long time and said hello to her." ”

"I'm busy, but it's just half a moon," pushing the tea bowl in front of Chu Chu, Liu Yiyi said lightly: "I'll go and say hello to my mother when I go back." ”

"Well," tapped his chin, Zhang Chuchu said: "In addition to the matter of Brother Liu Cheng, Daddy and Niang also intend to go to Sanyuan County, and come back from Chang'an for a few days, Daddy and Niang want to take us to Uncle Yang's Mansion to pay a visit, saying that they have inherited a lot of kindness from Uncle Yang over the years, and now they are coming back, and they are going to visit before the ceremony." ”

"Well, that's exactly how it should be." Liu Yiyi did not refute, although he had met Yang Bofang in Sanyuan as early as two days ago, but after all, it was not an official visit, and the father and mother did not go, the etiquette was incomplete, and the intention had not arrived, so they should indeed go again.

"Tomorrow." Liu Yiyi set the time: "Let's set off early tomorrow morning, bring Xiao Bao'er with us, and show Uncle Yang and Aunt Yang to them......"

"Your Majesty, this is a partial list of donations received by the household department in the past two days, please take a look at it." In the court, Di Zhixon made a speech and handed over a hand fold.

"Following the Sanyuan Liu family's free donation of 2 million guan of silver and 300,000 quintals of rice grain," while Li Ran handed over the fold, Di Zhixun said: "The household department can receive various donations ranging from 100 to hundreds of thousands of yuan every day, and the list of books is the name, surname and life history of the person who has donated more than 100,000 yuan. ”

"Oh?" Listening to Di Zhixun talk about the people's donations, without waiting to watch the folds in his hands, Li Shimin couldn't help but look down at Di Zhixun in the hall, and asked out loud: "Aiqing has already made statistics, what is the final result?" ”

"Go back to the emperor," understanding what the emperor meant, Di Zhixun bent over and replied: "As of this morning, the household department has received 2.2 million yuan of silver and 110,000 quintals of rice and grain. ”

"In addition to the two million quintals of rice donated by the Liu family, as well as the original reserves of the state treasury," Di Zhixun replied in a fixed voice: "The expedition to Gaochang is enough!" ”

Since the date of the promulgation of the holy decree sent to the Liu family, Li Shimin has no longer concealed his intention to send troops to Gaochang, so Di Zhixun has no scruples in the court, and he is blunt about sending troops to Gaochang.

"Two and two hundred thousand guan?" Li Shimin was a little surprised in his heart, he didn't expect Liu Yiyi's strategy to see results so quickly, using two million guan as bait, and attracting another more than two million guan in just two days.

"Huh?" Li Shimin looked down at the recital presented by Di Zhixun, and when he saw the names of several familiar people inside, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, somewhat surprised.

Forget about some of the rich businessmen in front, it is not worthy of the special attention of Li Shimin, the emperor. To Li Shimin's surprise, on this list, there were the names of several old ministers such as Fang Xuanling and the eldest grandson Wuji, as well as donations from other princes such as the crown prince and King Wu.

"Li Ran," glancing at the ministers under the hall, Li Shimin realized something, gently closed the music, handed it to Li Ran next to him, and commanded: "These are all heroes of my Tang Dynasty, I feel that it is necessary for the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty to know their names, and you will recite this list aloud on my behalf." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." After the double queen took over the recital, Li Ran cleared his throat and began to chant aloud.

"Shi Jin, president of Shanxi Antai Chamber of Commerce, donated 300,000 yuan!"

"Sang Zi, president of Chang'an Dahong Chamber of Commerce, donate 350,000 yuan!"

"Tong Yugui, a wealthy businessman in Jiangnan, donated 250,000 yuan! ……”

When "Qi ......" read this sentence, Li Ran couldn't help pausing for a while, and turned his head to look at Li Shimin, and saw that the emperor nodded to him, and then read sharply: "Sun Wuji, the prince of Qi State, donate 15,000 yuan of money and 1,500 quintals of grain!" ”

As soon as Li Ran's voice fell, there was a discussion in the court, why did Qi Guogong also join in the fun? And he took out more than 100,000 yuan of silver at once?

Although 100,000 yuan is not much, it is by no means something that the eldest grandson Wuji's daily allowance can afford, like he is so strong, is he not afraid that the emperor will be suspicious and say that he is greedy for bribes?

For a while, except for a few officials who still disagreed, most of the courtiers couldn't help but turn their heads to look at the eldest grandson Wuji standing in the front row, only to see that the eldest grandson Wuji at this time was still in the state of an old god, his face was calm, his eyes were slightly closed, and he didn't seem to hear the criticism of his colleagues next to him, and he was calm.

Hearing the sound of discussion in the hall, Li Ran's voice did not pause, and he still read aloud: "Liang Guogongfang Qiao, donate 110,000 yuan of money and 2,000 quintals of grain!" ”

Airplanes!

If Fang Cai's discussion was still a little whispering and gentle, then at this moment, the entire court was like a fried oil pot, and there was a buzz.

What's going on today? An eldest grandson Wuji is just that, why even Lord Fang, who has always been honest and self-disciplined, unexpectedly took out a huge amount of money, and there are as many as 110,000 yuan? Where does all this money come from? What are they doing this for? Some straight-minded officials have even thought of questioning Fang Xuanling in person.

And Fang Xuanling, like the eldest grandson Wuji at this moment, had a calm face, his eyes were half-narrowed, and he stood there as steady as Mount Tai, deaf to the comments of the surrounding officials.

At this point, the slightly smart-minded officials had already seen some clues, and they didn't know what they had come up with, their faces were a little pale, and cold sweat was breaking out on their foreheads.

"Silence!" Seeing that the court was as chaotic and noisy as a vegetable field, Li Shimin frowned, and shouted at the ministers: "The two Aiqing of Qi Guogong and Liang Guogong poured money to help the country, and they are loyal and righteous people. I am very good-hearted, I see that you Aiqing are arguing, but what objections do you have? ”

"Huh?!" All the resentful officials froze in a daze, looking at each other, the emperor and the old man said that this is a loyal person, how dare they have any objections?

"Li Ran, go on!" Seeing that the hall was quiet, Li Shimin motioned for Li Ran to continue reciting.

"Zhongshu Lingcen text, donate 150,000 yuan of money and 5,000 quintals of grain!"

"Li Ke, King of Wu, donate 120,000 yuan of money and 3,000 quintals of grain!"

"Prince Li Chengqian, donate 200,000 yuan of money and 10,000 quintals of grain!"

After that, it was the donation of more than a dozen wealthy businessmen, and Li Ran recited it word by word, during which the court was silent.

"In just two days, more than 220 yuan of money and 110,000 quintals of grain were donated," Li Ran read it, and Li Shimin sat in the court hall and solemnly summed it up: "I have this generation of loyal people in the Tang Dynasty, why worry about the border pass?" Why worry about my Datang not being rich and strong? Do you think so? ”

"What the emperor said is extremely true!" All the ministers bent down in unison and said yes.

"Alright, that's all for today." Glancing down at the ministers, Li Shimin got up and left his seat, flicked his sleeves lightly, and said lightly: "Retreat from the dynasty!" ”

"Congratulations to the emperor!" Bent down to send off, and when Li Shimin left the court, the ministers straightened up, and at the same time showed a puzzled face: What's wrong with the emperor today, and the next court is a little early, right?

Thinking about the only serious thing discussed in the early court today, look at the eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Xuanling, who are still slowly preparing to leave the palace, and several old ministers who have been praised by the emperor, as well as some other officials who left in a hurry regardless of greetings, most of the courtiers are a little sudden, just like those officials who left in a hurry, hurriedly left the palace and returned to their homes.
