Chapter 213: Membership
Taibai Building reopened after being closed for seven days. The old customers suddenly discovered that the former shopkeeper Liu was missing and replaced by a new shopkeeper. Some shopkeepers had seen this person named Shu Tanzhi, but now he has been promoted to
Shopkeeper.
The external explanation of Taibai Building is that it has been re-decorated, and it is indeed true after going in. The new layout is well-organized and full of elegance. Just when the old customers were about to buy again, the new shopkeeper said that the current wine is not for sale to the outside world. Only
Only their members can purchase their wine.
"Taibailou, who do you think you are?" an old customer immediately asked angrily.
"Why don't you sell it for retail?" a drunkard banged on the door.
"Is Taibailou now the first thing a new official wants to do when he takes office? Are you still trying something new?" Some onlookers sneered.
Although Taibai Lou is not as good as Tianxia No. 1 Lou and Junzi Lou, which are among the top brands in the capital, Taibai Lou has always boasted that it purchases goods directly from Jiangzhou City, so the taste and concentration of the wine are well-known, and it quickly occupied the market.
.
"Shopkeeper Shu, shopkeeper Liu and I have been regular customers before. He will sell as much as I want," a customer said.
"I know this, but from now on, our boss has said that everything will start from scratch. You can only use membership cards. If you don't know about the membership system, we have someone here to explain it to you."
"Why don't you want to be a member? Aren't you just trying to make more money? I have plenty of money!" a customer said angrily.
"Boss, you can't say that. Now that Taibai Building is being renovated and upgraded, please forgive me!" Shu Tanzhi said again.
"Okay, since you are doing membership, what does membership mean?" someone said impatiently.
"It's very simple. Everyone applies for a membership card, pays a fee when applying for the card, and uses it for life. In the future, you can use the card to buy wine. Those who are not members will not be able to buy our wine!" The comfortable way.
"What? If I'm not a member, you won't sell it?"
"Not for sale!" Shu Tanzi nodded with a smile.
"What the hell, are you still thinking that I can only buy your wine after I give you money to apply for a card? Bah!" A customer left cursing.
Seeing this, some people also left. Only some old customers stood there, waiting for Shu Tanzhi to continue.
"Our owner has said that because we are reopening, members who apply first will have priority in purchasing wine in the future, and all wine will be 10% off!"
"Then I would like to ask Shopkeeper Shu, how do I apply for this membership card?" Some people finally heard that they would give priority to buying wine and get discounts. These people did not drink the wine themselves, but resold it, so when they heard this, they couldn't help but become curious.
.
"Boss, today is the first day of the new opening. Our boss has said that those who apply for membership in the next three days will only need one thousand taels of silver for lifetime use. You can still use it as long as my Taibai Building does not collapse.
, three days later you will be an ordinary member with three hundred taels a year, renewable every year."
Wow...
"Are you robbing money?" Someone immediately pointed at Shu Tanzhi and cursed. Some even wanted to take action, but were quickly stopped by the guards nearby. There was a commotion at the gate. The news of the reopening of Taibai Building had already attracted the attention of some people.
, so seeing how lively it was at this moment, people who didn’t know it thought there was a pushing and shoving when they went in to grab a drink.
"Who do you Taibai Restaurant really think you are?" A customer pointed at Shu Tanzhi and cursed angrily: "It's just one of the top ten restaurants in Beijing. If I don't drink yours, why can't I drink other people's? It's really irritating. Today's businesses
So unethical!"
Some people cursed and left, but more people gathered in front of Taibai Tower.
"What happened?" Someone asked. Some people simply told the cause and effect, and it suddenly became more lively.
"I'm talking about Shopkeeper Shu, you were just a clerk before, but now that Shopkeeper Liu is gone, you're going to do this?" someone said angrily.
Shu Tanzhi looked at him and said: "Shu, how dare you do this? Our boss asked us to do this. We are just doing things."
"Who is your boss? Aren't you afraid of killing yourself if you do this?" someone asked.
"Our boss is Mr. Hou!" Shu Tanzhi said with a faint smile: "The boss said that no matter who he is, he will do this, so it's not that we don't sell wine to the neighbors, it's just that the boss has spoken, and as a small business, we have to obey."
"Master Linghou is your boss?" the man said in disbelief.
"Exactly!"
hiss……
The people around took a breath. They really didn't expect that the owner behind Taibai Tower was actually the only Marquis in a century.
"Shopkeeper Shu, you can drink as much wine as you want, but don't say anything casually." Some people didn't believe it.
The way to feel comfortable: "Haha, everyone, it's true that you can drink as much as you want, but don't talk casually."
Everyone understood it.
When some small businessmen selling wine in the crowd heard this, their eyes lit up and they immediately said: "Shopkeeper Shu, where can I apply for a membership card?"
Those who were still watching the excitement looked at the excited merchants with puzzled and even mocking expressions, but a comfortable voice came to their ears.
"Dear shopkeepers, the Marquis has spoken. One person can only apply for one ticket, and one chamber of commerce can only process three tickets, so you have to think clearly!"
One of the younger shopkeepers of the chamber of commerce said quickly: "Shopkeeper Shu, although our shop is small, you can apply for three tickets for me, and I can also apply for one for me. Is this feasible?"
Shu Tanzhi smiled and said: "Okay, no conflict!"
"Shopkeeper Shu, can you allow me to handle it first? I'll send someone to get the money now!" said the shopkeeper.
"What do you call this brother?" Shu Tanzhi looked at him and asked.
"My name is Peng Dakai, and I run a restaurant." The man Peng Da said.
"Okay, Shopkeeper Peng, please come in, someone will make arrangements for you!" After saying that, he stepped forward to lead him in. Peng Dakai was confused, but he was thinking about the restaurant run by Lord Ling, so he turned around and ordered his servants to go back and get the money.
, and went inside.
"Shopkeeper Shu, Liu Yishui, just like shopkeeper Peng!" A middle-aged man approached with a confident step.
Comfortable bending down to lead the way.
Soon, more than ten people applied one after another and were introduced to Taibai Building.
After this small wave, no one continued. They just watched. It was much quieter in front of the Taibai Tower. Soon, a person walked out, and it was Liu Yishui. He was smiling all over his face. After seeing Shu Tan, he quickly saluted with a smile on his face.
Said: "Send hello to Lord Marquis for me."
Shu Tanzhi replied: "I must convey the good intentions of shopkeeper Liu, and the shopkeeper will leave slowly without seeing you off!"
Liu Yishui was polite and polite, with a humble and polite expression.
When he walked out of the door, people immediately gathered around him and said, "Shopkeeper Liu, why are you the only one who came out first? Where are the others? Shopkeeper Peng?"
After all, everyone saw that Peng Dakai was the first to go in, but not the first to come out, so everyone was very curious.
Liu Yishui smiled and said: "Because I was the first to pay, and they didn't bring enough gold and silver with them. I brought enough! Haha, of course I was the first to get the membership card!"
Everyone suddenly realized that this was the case. No wonder he was the second to go in and the first to come out. They couldn't help but understand when they remembered what Peng Dakai said before.
"Shopkeeper Liu, can you let us see the membership card of Taibai Tower so that we can clear up our doubts?" someone said.
I saw Liu Yishui jumping up in an instant. His fat body was more agile than a beast, which really frightened everyone. He pointed at the man and cursed: "Get out of my way, what do you want to do? Don't even think about it, get out of the way.
Step aside!"
After that, he ignored everyone, pushed aside the crowd, got into his carriage, and quickly called his guards to leave together.
Everyone was stunned, and soon they heard someone shouting: "Get out of the way, get out of the way!"
Everyone looked back and saw that it was the shopkeepers who did not bring enough money. At this time, people rushed to Taibai Tower with their money.
Shu Tanzhi naturally allowed him to go in, and some of the people watching were even more curious. Some of them thought for a while and murmured to themselves: "Ling Houye has built the small Jiangzhou City into such a prosperous place in just four years.
One thousand taels is not a lie, and there is no need for this one thousand taels anyway. Even if he is cheated, I will go to Shuntian Prefecture and sue him!"
After thinking about this, he also walked over and said, "Shopkeeper, I'll get one too!"
"Please!" Shu Tan introduced.
Soon, those who paid the money came out one after another with smiles on their faces, and they did not forget to salute Shu Tanzhi before leaving.
This scene caught the eyes of onlookers again, and several people were attracted to go in and apply for membership cards.
The news of Taibai Building's membership system spread quickly in the capital, and people were talking about it. Many people derogated this method more than they praised it, especially those from the old capital, who were even more concerned about this overbearing method.
Most of the capital city scolded Taibai Tower for not being a thing.
No matter how useless Taibailou is, their wine is really good, so no matter what, businessmen who really need it, especially those who are doing business, have to come to Taibailou with real money and money to handle it even though they are swearing.
membership card.
But who would have expected that after the fourth day, when some shopkeepers went to apply for membership cards and could only apply for annual membership cards, the whole capital suddenly exploded.
There was almost a riot in front of Taibai Tower, but after the guards there showed a strong and vicious aura, many people in the chamber of commerce couldn't help but calm down. To be honest, they were just reselling Taibai Tower's wine or they were used to it.
I had to apply for it as a last resort, but three days have passed. According to Shu Tanzhi, I can only apply for an annual card, not a lifetime card. The annual card costs 300 taels of silver per year and there is no discount. All purchases are based on the original price. At the same time,
There are also quantity restrictions.
These overlord clauses caused everyone in the capital to stamp their feet and curse. However, those merchants from Jiangzhou who came to the capital with Ling Xin'an were more excited than anything else at this time, shouting: "The Marquis has finally shown his power.
Got it!"
"Stupid Beijing people, wait until you cry one day!"
