1176: Who else has money you can't make
Fu Yuanling and the others were drinking tea on the second floor of Huaxing, Xiao Jiuqi stretched out her head next to her, and muttered, "Why hasn't the queen mother come yet?" Do you think I'm going to pick it up? ”
The corners of Yang Jiying's mouth twitched and she didn't speak, she withdrew her gaze, and didn't look at King Jin's boneless appearance as if he had to rely on his daughter-in-law.
Obviously, this one is also a famous killing god on the battlefield, why did he come to his daughter-in-law like this...... It's hard to put into words.
Anyway, Yang Jiying felt that his little liver had been greatly harmed, King Jin was too unparticular, and there was an urge to beat him to death all the time, anytime, anywhere.
He has a good daughter-in-law, doesn't he?
The queen mother was accompanied by her daughter-in-law, and there must have been guards to follow, and King Jin was really too worried.
Just thinking about this, I suddenly heard the ninth brother and sister say: "It's okay, there are so many people, it's not good if you bump into your mother and sister, or you think thoughtfully, then go." ”
Yang Jiying: ......
Okay, he didn't think anything of it.
No wonder King Jin's temperament is becoming more and more unreliable, the emperor and queen before he became married, and his daughter-in-law after he became married, this life is really enviable.
Yang Jiying watched King Jin go downstairs happily, as if he was stepping on Hot Wheels under his feet.
Before he could retract his gaze, he saw that the King of Chu and the Princess of Chu had arrived, so he got up and said with a smile: "Fourth brother, fourth brother and sister have arrived." ”
When Fu Yuanling heard this, he also turned around and greeted with a smile, "Fourth brother, fourth sister-in-law." ”
Xu Xiuning responded with a smile, "It's a little crowded on the road, but it's too late." ”
King Chu looked at the two of them and said with a smile, "Xiao Jiu hurriedly did something, and he didn't get a word when he asked." ”
Fu Yuanling said: "The prince went to pick up his mother and followed his sister." ”
King Chu nodded, looked at Yang Jiying again and said with a smile, "The eldest brother-in-law is all busy?" ”
Yang Jiying smiled and nodded, "There isn't much going on today, and the western suburbs will come over with a few orders." ”
The group sat down to talk, and the shopkeeper of the flower line brought tea to him, and then bent down and retreated.
Xu Xiuning looked at Fu Yuanling and said with a smile, "I really didn't expect so many people today, and this grand scene can catch up with the Shangyuan Lantern Festival." This journey is really full of flowers, fragrant and fragrant. ”
Fu Yuanling poured tea for everyone, and then said: "The Flower Dynasty Festival is a good festival, a good day to worship God and tie the knot, and so many flowers can indeed let everyone go out of the house to see the freshness." ”
"Speaking of these flowers, you spent a lot of money on them, right?" Xu Xiuning said a little worriedly, "Will you lose a lot of silver?" ”
Hearing this topic, King Chu and Yang Jiying both pricked up their ears, and they were also very curious.
"How can you lose money?" Fu Yuanling chuckled, "We can still make a small profit." ”
"Really? Now people outside are saying that you are slapping a swollen face and becoming fat, and engaging in such gimmicks and pomp, just to be in the limelight. Xu Xiuning was angry when she talked about this, these people really can't spit out ivory.
Fu Yuanling noticed the curious look on the faces of Yang Jiying and King Chu, and explained with a smile, "Actually, externally, we won't pay attention to others who say that we lose money, and the more others think so, the better, so that no one will fight with us next year." But now it's all our own people, I'll tell you the truth, we can't compensate, and we can still pay a tax to the court. ”
"And how do you make money?" Yang Jiying couldn't bear it anymore, he was so curious that he scratched his heart and liver.
"Big brother-in-law, there are many ways to make money. It's like this flower street, if it were someone else, it would definitely not be able to do it. Fu Yuanling said slowly.
Naturally, it can't be done, from west to east through the entire flower street in Shangjing, at least tens of thousands of pots of flowers, where can such a large number of flowers be poured out by ordinary merchants.
Moreover, the supply of flowers in Beijing is in the hands of a few people, and it is too difficult to take profits from them.
However, Fu Yuanling's business alliance has an advantage that others do not have, that is, the person who controls the flower market is the merchant of the business alliance, so that they can negotiate and cooperate amicably.
Fu Yuanling is very simple to talk about the transaction, the first is to divide the entire East and West Street into sections and other large merchants in Beijing, each family can choose a certain section of the road to place flowers, and then belong to a certain merchant's section, the merchants can choose the number and category of vendors on both sides of the road on the day of the Flower Dynasty Festival.
The second is to discuss the issue of flower placement with the merchants of the flower market in the joint flower festival apportionment section.
Others thought that Fu Yuanling spent money to buy flowers and put them on Flower Street, but in fact they were not.
In previous years, the merchants of the flower market sold flowers to the wealthy people, so that people have spare money to buy flowers and enjoy flowers.
Therefore, the share of flowers sold in the flower market every year is not very high, all supported by rich people, the quality is not large, and it is difficult for flower market merchants to make a fortune.
Fu Yuanling used the Imperial Flower Street as a bait, and used the Flower Dynasty Festival as a reason to persuade the flower market merchants to put their own flowers on the flower street to sell. As the right holder of the flower street, they can be exempted from the cost of leasing the flower street, and there is only one requirement, that is, the flowers sold on the day of the flower festival must be registered and delivered to the door on the second day, and there can be no scene where the flowers are sold out before the flower festival is over, and there is only an empty street left.
On a festive day like the Flower Dynasty Festival, as long as people come out to go shopping and encounter such a beautiful scenery, they are afraid that they are willing to spend money to buy a pot of flowers to go back and see.
After all, people have a herd mentality, and if there are more people who buy, it is as if they will suffer a loss if they don't buy.
In this way, the flower street made by Fu Yuanling is contracted by some people, and the flowers on the flower street are also covered by merchants, and the shops on the flower street can also lease the land belonging to their own sections to the small merchants who come out to set up stalls during the flower festival. And the merchants who set up stalls can earn money from the people who come to visit the flower street, which is like a circle, which is connected from end to end.
As for Fu Yuanling, making such a big move in the Flower Dynasty Festival Flower Street can not only entertain the people, but also gain fame, and also have a little silver to enter the account, it is simply a few in one fell swoop, and everyone has their own place.
After listening to this, Yang Jiying and the King of Chu were silent.
Xu Xiuning didn't know what to say, and looked at Fu Yuanling and said: "I really can't imagine that silver can still be earned like this, in fact, seriously speaking, the only thing you spend effort on is to meet Your Majesty, please ask Your Majesty to allow you to make a flower street, isn't it?" ”
Fu Yuanling looked at Xu Xiuning with a smile, "Of course it's more than that, after all, we still have to hand over a sum of tax money to the imperial court." ”
The imperial court also has to eat.
King Chu suddenly chuckled, looked at Fu Yuanling and said, "Ninth brother and sister, I'm curious, who else in this world has money that you can't earn?" ”
She can play the tricks of the white wolf with empty gloves.
