Qin Mei's father passed away very early, and now there is a mother on it.

However, the old lady is still in good health.

There were no twists and turns in the meeting between Mu Changqing and her.

The old lady was naturally extremely happy that Qin Mei suddenly found a man.

After all, she knew her daughter's physical condition best. Now that she saw that her daughter was out of sight, she was naturally very happy with a man.

He expressed a warm welcome to Mu Changqing's arrival.

Mu Changqing accompanied her to have a warm lunch and went out to the street with Qin Mei and Liu Youde.

Since I decided to open a restaurant in Yangzhou, I naturally have to check the market first.

There is no need to say much about the prosperity of Yangzhou City. On the lined streets, there are red walls and green tiles and the crowds of people walking around.

It was summer, and there was a hint of heat in the air. It happened that the temperature was the highest in the day. Several people wandered around the street and found a restaurant to rest for a while.

Looking at the flowing crowd outside the window, Mu Changqing's brain was spinning rapidly.

The layout of Yangzhou City is different from that of Chang'an.

After all, Chang'an is an administrative center and is more deployed around the palace, but Yangzhou is different.

From a high altitude, Yangzhou City radiates with the city lord's mansion as the center, presents in a cross shape, and is divided into four cities in the southeast, west and north. The prosperity of each city is very different, and it is not as surprising as the east and west cities of Chang'an City.

It is not difficult to open a restaurant in Yangzhou City, but looking at the bustling street scene, Mu Changqing suddenly had a bold idea.

After all, restaurants are only related to food, and not all people can afford to spend money. People who don’t have the spare money will still choose to eat at home.

Although it is also a profitable industry, it can no longer satisfy Mu Changqing's current appetite.

What's more, there are enough restaurants in Yangzhou City now, and one more person who grabs food may not necessarily have much advantage.

After pondering for a while, Mu Changqing looked at Liu Youde, who was drinking quietly beside him and said.

"Brother Liu, if you want to go to the market and need to buy a lot of things, are you willing to go shopping on a street or choose to purchase all the things in one place?"

"Why would the young master ask this question? If you can, you will naturally be willing to buy them all in one place, which will save more effort."

Upon hearing this, Mu Changqing nodded, then looked at Qin Mei again, and Qin Mei naturally chose the latter.

It seems that the ancients' thoughts were not much surprised by Mu Changqing.

"Young Master, we have been traveling here for a while, can we choose a good location?"

He poured Mu Changqing a glass of sake and Qin Mei said softly.

Location?

Of course, the closer you get to the center is the best.

After considering it, Mu Changqing looked at Qin Mei: "I wonder how to choose the location on Yanyu Street?"

Yanyu Street directly leads to the city lord's mansion, which is the most popular position in the city. It is not an exaggeration to say that every inch of land is worth every inch.

Although it was a bit difficult, Qin Mei still responded.

"Yanyu Street is the most prosperous nowadays, but it should be no problem to buy a shop to open a restaurant. You just need to give your boss some more money."

With the Qin Mansion’s background in Yangzhou City, there is still this confidence.

But Mu Changqing shook his head.

"A shop may not be enough, it is best to buy the area of ​​about five acres of land connected at one time."

"Bang!"

Liu Youde's wine glass fell to the ground, his face full of surprise, and Qin Mei also looked at Mu Changqing in amazement.

"How many? Five acres of land?"

"Young master, it's just a restaurant. Does it need such a big place?"

Five acres of land are about 3,000 square meters, and Mu Changqing's bold idea is enough to implement it.

“It may be a bit difficult.”

After touching his chin, Mu Changqing was also a little worried. There was no bidding in this era. If you want to buy the five acres of land on Yanyu Street at one time, there is no other way except to spend money on those businesses.

But in such a prosperous area, you may not be able to buy it even if you have money.

"Young Master, what do you want to do in such a big place? Wouldn't you open a restaurant?"

After sorting out the words, Mu Changqing slowly explained to the confused two people.

"The restaurant naturally needs to be opened, but now I have a better idea."

"What's the idea?"

Liu Youde quickly asked.

"That is to open a department store in the most prosperous area of ​​Yangzhou City."

Obviously, Qin Mei and the other party have some difficulty understanding the term department store.

"A department store, as the name suggests, is that in this mall you can buy anything you want, from furniture and equipment to stitches and threads. As long as it is found in the city and needs by the people, everything in the department store is available."

This is easy to understand, but Qin Mei and the others were also stupid.

How big a brain hole should this be to come up with this idea?

No wonder the young master asked that question before.

This plan is beautiful, but there are more problems that need to be solved.

Not to mention how to solve these five acres of land, the complex products in the department store were not something they could do, and it would be impossible to pull all the servants and maids in the Qin Mansion up.

In addition, the supply channels, sales, etc. of various products are all confused.

"Young Master, this idea is good, but it's a bit difficult."

Picking up the wine glass on the ground, Liu Youde poured a glass for himself, slowly drank it, suppressing the shock in his heart, and then said carefully.

This is more than just a bit big?

Qin Mei has been in business for so many years and can realize the most critical factor at a glance.

"Young Master, I'm a little worried. Since you can express this idea, it means that you already have a certain strategy in your heart. What I'm worried about is that if this department store is really built, it will be a huge impact on the countless merchants in the city."

"At that time, the young master is likely to be criticized by these countless merchants, and even join forces to attack the young master."

Mu Changqing naturally thought about this question long ago.

Once the department store is really built, it will definitely be a dimensionality reduction blow to the surrounding individual merchants.

With a department store with a complete range of products and beautiful prices, who would be willing to stroll along the streets one by one?

There is definitely a certain amount of people, but the traffic volume is definitely not as good as before.

Cutting off people's wealth and wealth is tantamount to killing parents. Once this move is completed, Mu Changqing will inevitably become the public enemy of countless merchants in Yangzhou City.

But make money?

How can you make a lot of money without using some means?

Moreover, this department store may not be an opportunity for other merchants to get to the next level. It depends on whether they have the corresponding courage.
