Chapter 158 Worthy of being called a cornucopia

The clerk pointed to a small room and explained with a smile: "Dear guests, this is our trading room. The people who come out are so happy because they have concluded a business deal.

As for the two people in the room, they were scribes and tax collectors sent by the imperial court. Manager Wang specially asked officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs for help.

As long as you are interested in cooperating, you can go there and discuss in detail. The prices here are divided into three types, one is charged by the hour, five guans per hour, one pays 20 guans directly, and the last one requires 25 guans, which can be specified.

Someone you trust can help you."

"Wang Ning'an wants the money and wants to share it. For five dollars an hour, it's better to just settle the business in the lobby." Wei Zheng roared.

The clerk smiled. He didn't care about Wei Zheng's attitude. He smiled slightly and said: "This guest, as I just said, there are people from the government in the trading room. If you only consume the first kind, the clerk will help you."

You write the deed and the tax collector will charge you a fee.

If you consume the second type, then you don't have to do anything. The clerk and tax collector will do everything for you, just sign and confirm.

As for the third option, you can name and designate someone to help you complete it."

Li Er and the others looked at each small room one after another and saw four people in the room. One was settling accounts, one was writing a contract, and two others were chatting.

There are people in all the rooms, and there are even people queuing at the door of many rooms.

The clerk continued with a smile: "Dear guests, you are in luck this time. There is a big discount for the opening of the tea house, and the trading room is free to use. After three days, everything will resume prices. So you can complete the transaction today if necessary."

No wonder so many people are queuing up.

Li Er said: "I think this place is quite big. What's behind it?"

The clerk smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you have good eyesight. The hall and trading room in front are for ordinary guests, that is, those who have paid ten guan of money. Behind you are the halls of every trade and business."

I wonder what business these guest officers do?"

"Grain business." Li Er said.

The clerk nodded. He knew that Li Er was the leader and had no intention of asking the others and led them through the trading room.

Li Er and the others were shocked and full of curiosity. After walking through the corridor, they saw four room doors, each with a different plaque.

One is for daily necessities, one is for food, one is for culture, and one is for clothing.

The waiter led Li Er and the others into the food area. There was also a hall in the food area. This hall was much smaller than the hall at the entrance. There was also a rectangular black wall in the middle, which was also densely covered with writing.

There are four doors in the hall, and there is also a plaque hanging on the head of each door, which are rice, soybeans, wheat, sorghum and the other four plaques.

After asking Li Er what grain he sold, the clerk led Li Er and the others into the wheat hall.

After entering the wheat hall, the waiter helped everyone sit down, and immediately a beautiful maid handed each of them a tea price list.

Li Er and others took the price list and looked at it, and then their eyes widened. Is this tea? They are simply drinking money.

The cheapest cup of boiled water on the price list costs the same amount, and it's just boiled water.

At this time, Li Er felt that he was a poor man, and the tea he drank was not enough.

It's expensive here.

"They're robbing money. This Wang Ning'an is really crazy about money. He only sells a glass of water for the same amount of money." Wei Zheng roared.

Li Er and others all nodded. This Wang Ning'an was really crazy about money.

However, Wei Zheng's voice immediately aroused the contemptuous looks of many businessmen around him.

"Brother, bring me a tea set worth thirty guan." A customer glanced at Li Er and the others with disdain.

Li Er and others all widened their eyes in unison. Especially Wei Zheng, he couldn't believe his ears that someone really spent so much money to buy a tea set. He remembered that a tea set worth 30 yuan is two cups of tea.

Just a few extra pastries.

Outside, you can buy a hundred copies with the same amount of money.

At this time, the waiter showed his signature smile again and explained: "My dear guests, you don't know. The people who come here are businessmen. What matters is status. The higher the price of tea you order, the higher your status and the more credibility you have."

Well, this way you will get more people to do business with you. If you only order the same kind of tea that costs the same amount, you will be devaluing yourself, and no one will be willing to do business with you."

Then he pointed at Wei Zheng and said: "The guest guest who just shouted loudly has been misunderstood as a person of average worth. As a result, the other guests are all ordinary businessmen. If nothing unexpected happens, no one will come here.

Let’s talk business with you.”

People on both sides of Wei Zheng unconsciously moved their buttocks to the side, making Wei Zheng very embarrassed.

Li Er nodded and said: "You and I will also have a set meal worth thirty guan."

The clear voice of the maid next to her suddenly sounded: "Dear guest, the rules of the teahouse are to pay the money first."

Changsun Wuji quickly took out a money bag, took out thirty gold melon seeds and handed them to the maid.

Wei Zheng wanted to speak to stop him, but the angry looks from his colleagues made him shut his mouth again.

The waiter said again: "Sir, any guest who has ordered tea can go to the blackboard in front and write down the quantity and price of the rice he sells or the grain he wants to purchase.

As long as interested businessmen see it, they will take the initiative to come to discuss business."

"Oh, there is such a thing, take me to see it."

"Sir, please come this way."

Changsun Wuji and others also wanted to stand up and follow, but were held down by Li Er.

"You all stay here. Maid Guanyin, come and see with me." Li Er said to the eldest grandson.

After entering the teahouse, Changsun didn't say a word. She was observing every detail of the teahouse wholeheartedly. She will be in charge of this teahouse in the future.

To the outside world, the Imperial Merchant was the private property of the emperor, but in fact it was the private property of the palace. The queen was responsible for everything, and Li Er had never had any control over it.

I originally thought that this Cornucopia Teahouse was just a higher-end teahouse than the average one, but it’s different now. The teahouse’s income is a hundred or a thousand times that of an ordinary teahouse.

This made Changsun know that there were many things she had to do after taking over the teahouse. First, she had to understand every aspect of the teahouse. He found that every aspect of the teahouse could make money.

A cup of boiled water costs a lot of money. This money is too profitable. In order to prevent himself from losing money by taking over the tea house, he is particularly concerned about it.

Under the guidance of the waiter, she and Li Er came to a black wooden board.

"Sir, you can write your information here."

"Thank you." Li Er said.

As he and his eldest grandson focused their attention on the blackboard, they saw it read: "Jiangnan polished rice is eighty cents per dou. One million catties." The words "Seat No. 5" were also written in the lower part.

Li Er glanced at the guy.

The waiter immediately explained: "Seat No. 5 is over there." He pointed to a seat and said: "That's the customer who just ordered 30 yuan."

Li Er and Chang Sun looked over and nodded slightly. The guest in seat 5 also nodded along with them.

The clerk said again: "Sir, do you want to write it yourself or let our people do it for you?"

"Is there a fee?" Changsun asked.

She was really misled by the tea house's charging inertia, thinking that everything had to be charged.

The guy smiled and said, "It's free."

Li Er asked: "If we don't order tea, can't we write down what we sell or buy on this blackboard?"

"Yes, Sir." The clerk pointed to the blackboard with a smile and said: "This blackboard is called the message board. Everyone can watch it for free. If you are lucky, there will be the goods you want on the blackboard, you don't need to click.

For tea, you can go directly to your seat to discuss business with him."

As soon as the guy finished speaking, Li Er saw a businessman chatting with him next to Seat 5.

Li Er withdrew his gaze and sighed: "It's so convenient. Doing business in the past was a difficult thing. Just like selling silk, you have to buy raw silk first, and then sell the finished product. If you are not careful, you may lose everything.

, now it’s fine, as long as we drink tea, the business can be negotiated. These dozens of dollars are no longer a good deal."

Changsun smiled and said: "Second brother is absolutely right. This teahouse is a cornucopia, a cornucopia of merchants. I don't know how Wang Ning'an's brain grows. If you have the chance, you should ask him carefully."

The clerk immediately said: "Sir, if you want to see Mr. Wang, or ask Mr. Wang for advice or something, you only need to spend a hundred coins."

"What? You want to give him money when you see him?" Changsun said in disbelief.

The clerk smiled and said, "To be honest with you, the price offered by Mr. Wang is absolutely worth it. Many people felt enlightened after meeting Mr. Wang, and they all said that they would expand their business immediately after returning home."

"Really? Go and call Wang Ning'an." Li Er showed a mysterious smile.

The waiter had a sharp eye and saw that they all knew Wang Ning'an. After saying goodbye, he immediately went to find Wang Ning'an.

After asking for Fang Zheng's location, the waiter immediately jogged to find him.

At this time, Wang Ning'an was leading Li Chengqian and others to look at some goods in other districts. In the entire Cornucopia Tea House, only other districts had goods on display, because most of the goods in this district were sold by Hu merchants.

What they sell are luxury goods, not relatively large quantities of goods such as food and silk, so they need to be seen by others.

"Cheng Qian. You are the richest person among everyone, why don't you plan to buy this one-meter-high blood coral?" Li Jianshan said at the side.

Li Chengqian quickly waved his hand and said: "It's too expensive. It costs three thousand guan. If my parents find out about this, my living expenses will be gone."

Wang Ning'an smiled and said: "If you like it, just buy it. At worst, you can just change hands and sell it."

"May I?"
