Chapter 182: Hypermarkets and Members
Suddenly, when he heard about the Golden Rose Family from Donn, Fiona's eyes immediately became terrifying.
"House Foel!?"
Don immediately understood what Fiona meant, and he shook his head, "Not what you think. ”
Fiona put down the pen and paper and looked directly at Donn, waiting for him to continue.
"Did you know you have a godfather?"
“……”
Sure enough, Fiona was at a loss.
"Okay."
Don sighed and said, "Your father, Edward, and Aubury used to be friends......
"It can't be!"
Fiona categorically denied it: "Although the Golden Rose family was also famous before, it is still far from the Verel family, how can the two of them be connected." ”
"You're too unconfident, aren't you...... In fact, it's true. ”
After a pause, Donn continued, "Moreover, Obery is still your godfather, and he is the baptism he did for you. ”
Fiona's face was dumbfounded: "Aubury...... Is it my godfather? Are you kidding me? ”
"Of course it's not to tease you, it's true."
"Then why didn't he save our family back then!"
Fiona's emotions stirred: "With the power of the Verel family, this is an easy thing to do, right!?" ”
"Fiona, you're losing your cool...... You should know that factional struggles are not something that can be explained in one or two sentences. ”
Tang En shook his head: "He knows about the affairs of the Golden Rose family, but at that time, he and Adrien were both outside, and they couldn't help your father at all, not to mention that it was not a day or two for the aristocratic faction to want to deal with your family." By the time Obury got the news, it was too late. ”
Fiona took a deep breath and struggled to control her emotions. She clenched her fists tightly. The hatred that had disappeared was ignited again, and sparkling elemental light appeared all around her.
"Calm down."
With a slight wave of his hand, the element of restlessness dissipated, and he said, "With your cleverness, you should be able to understand, you were a child back then, how could you survive that kind of tragedy?" How did you end up living in Alinkes? ”
Fiona was silent, of course she had noticed that someone had been following her, and it was because she had noticed. That's why it was decided to flee from Alink.
"If it weren't for the people of Aubury who have been secretly protecting you, how could you have been so safe all these years?"
Don patted Fiona on the shoulder, "Don't blame Obury, he's done his best. ”
"I see."
Fiona exhaled deeply, "I don't blame him, and I don't have the right to blame him. ”
"That's right."
Don looked at Fiona with great satisfaction, "Even if he is a friend of your father's interests, he doesn't have enough reason to help you - but he has resolutely stepped in to save you, and he has done a good job." ”
After Fiona's mood had stabilized a bit, Don continued, "Also, Obery told us about your enemy. It's a man of the aristocratic faction. ”
"Aristocratic ......"
"The current aristocratic faction, headed by the Spard family, represents the interests of the traditional nobility within the empire. Fighting openly and secretly with the royal faction, the reason why the Golden Rose family was unlucky was because the Golden Rose family chose the royal faction, which made the aristocratic faction afraid. ”
"The Sparders!"
Fiona clenched her fists again, and finally, in addition to revitalizing the Golden Rose family, she had a new goal to strive for!
"Don't worry, sooner or later, you will have a chance for revenge."
Don clenched Fiona's fist and pressed it down, "But for now, we still have to take it one step at a time. ”
"I see."
Don breathed a sigh of relief when Fiona's mood returned to normal, and then he took out a pen and paper from the side and began to draw, he drew the floor plan of the shop.
"This is the floor plan of that shop, although it used to be your family's property, but I guess you are still young and may not know, so let's take a look."
Don briefly explained, then looked at Fiona, "Do you have any thoughts about this shop?" ”
Fiona pondered for a moment and said, "The area is very large, I don't know how our family used to run it, but for our Datang Chamber of Commerce now, this is a good opportunity...... There are four floors in total, but we can't use such a large area for our current products, which is a problem. ”
"Go on."
"If it were me, we would either expand our business scope and improve the variety of goods, or we would take the high-quality route and concentrate on operating our own products, and other places could be divided into warehouses for use......"
Don smiled dumbly, although Fiona was a genius, but due to the limitations of her vision and experience, she still couldn't jump out of that circle.
Fiona noticed Donn's smile and said coquettishly, "What's wrong?" ”
"You're right, but you're still too conservative."
Don laughed, and then told her what he thought.
"You see, this is the area on the first floor, this is the entrance, and we have divided it into several areas......"
While explaining his thoughts, Don briefly explained the concept of hypermarkets on the earth to Fiona, and Fiona was attracted by Donne's novel idea when she listened, what supermarket model, self-selection and self-purchase, brand platform...... These unheard of concepts opened the wings of her mind and gave her many fresh thoughts at once.
That's right, Donn conceived it as a hypermarket!
Too few of your own products? It's not a problem, you can make the Datang Chamber of Commerce a platform, and then sell other people's goods!
A total of four floors, the utilization rate is too low?
No problem, give guests an elevator when they enter the door, go directly to the entrance of the hypermarket on the fourth floor, and then force them to walk from the fourth floor to the first floor is the exit......
For the shamelessness of those hypermarkets on the earth, Don has long had a deep understanding, even if you don't want to buy anything, once you go in and turn around, you will have a lot of things in your hands......
I originally planned to go in and buy something for 100 yuan, but it probably cost 200 yuan when I came out, and this is the invisible horror of hypermarkets!
Plus a promotional discount event during the New Year's holidays...... Oh hehehe......
Soon, the people of Plandal will experience first-hand the horror of being dominated by a big box......
The hypermarkets will unknowingly pull out all the gold coins in their pockets, and what about Donn? They will sit back and wait for them to shout "Shutupandtakemymoney!" At the same time, the gold coins were sent by hand......
After listening to Donn's explanation, Fiona's eyes lit up, and she said with a look of amazement: "The idea you said is simply a genius idea!" I'm sure that the Datang Department Store you mentioned will become a new business model in the future! ”
Don smirked.
"But, my lord, you seem to have overlooked an important factor."
The smile on Donn's face froze.
Fiona said with a strange expression: "Although it is right for merchants to adhere to the method of small profits and quick turnover, but more than ninety percent of the wealth of the empire is in the hands of nobles, you shouldn't know it, right?" ”
"This ......"
"Yes, your department store idea is groundbreaking, but ...... If people don't have much money in their hands, how many people are willing to spend money in department stores? ”
A cold sweat broke out on Don's forehead.
Fiona spread her hands: "I'll make it clear, even if you sell a thousand commoners a thousand pieces of soap, it is not as profitable as selling an air conditioner to a nobleman...... What's more, in a place like Alink, it was much cheaper to do aristocratic business than to advertise soap among the common people. ”
Fiona shook her head: "So, your idea only applies to situations where people are very wealthy, and now the effect is only very mediocre. ”
"Shall we take a different approach, then?"
Don was embarrassed, he didn't expect that the idea he had come up with with so hard would not be used......
It's so embarrassing that the hypermarket model, which has been developed on Earth for so long, is actually despised by the natives of Purandal!
"No, my lord, the pattern you said is very good, we can use it, but it needs to be changed a little."
Fiona stared at the drawing, and after a moment, pointed to an area on the first floor and said, "My lord, I suggest that this area on the first floor be drawn separately. ”
"Oh?"
"What do the nobles need? All they need is to be different, to go into the hypermarket with civilians to buy something? It's an insult to them, so we're going to separate the two types of guests in advance. ”
Fiona said eloquently: "Ordinary guests can freely buy goods after entering the store, while noble guests do not need to enter it, they can come directly to this area, which is set up as a special reception area for noble customers, and then find a special person to be responsible for reception, what do you think?" ”
Don looked at Fiona with a stunned expression, is this chick really a native of Plandal? This brain is spinning fast enough!
"Your Excellency?"
"Yes, you're right, that's it."
Don smiled: "Moreover, your plan coincides with one of my previous ideas, and it can fit together perfectly." ”
"Oh? What's the idea? ”
"This."
Don pulled out a stack of crystal cards.
"What is this? It shouldn't be the crystal card of Star Diamond Bank, right? ”
"Of course not, it was an idea that occurred to me."
Tang En brazenly said: "The hierarchical membership system, I think that under this system, the loyalty of our noble guests will be greatly increased, and they will rush to send us gold coins......"
Fiona was stunned: "The hierarchical membership system...... What is that? ”
"To put it simply, it is equivalent to a glorious membership, and only with membership can you buy some relatively rare things, such as armor weapons produced by dwarves, special crafts from the elven kingdom, and ......"
Tang En smiled very weirdly: "And the level increase of members is also very simple...... Charge your money, the more QB you rush, the more powerful it becomes...... Ahh What I mean by this is that the more gold you spend, the higher your membership level ......" (To be continued.) )
