"Congratulations to Shopkeeper Yang of Shengfa Department Store, who received fifty-nine votes and was successfully elected as the president of Yingtianfu Branch of Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce."
With Zhang Zhongliang's announcement, Yang Xuan was officially elected as the president of the Yingtianfu Branch of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce.
Zhang Zhongliang took the lead in applauding, and everyone else also stood up and applauded, and all kinds of words of congratulations and congratulations continued. It was completely different from when Yang Xuan first came in.
Lu Jing asked in a low voice: "Why are these people so arrogant and respectful?"
"Businessmen are only interested in profit, and it is their nature to act according to the prevailing circumstances."
"Aren't you also a businessman?" Lu Jing said with some doubts: "But I don't think you are just seeking profit."
Yang Xuan smiled slightly: "That's because the patterns are different. They follow the wind in the river, while I sail in the ocean. It doesn't look so obvious."
Lu Jing seemed to understand some of these words, but before she could continue to ask questions, Yang Xuan had already announced loudly: "Everyone, thanks to your support today, Xiao Ke can steal the position of president of the Yuehui Tower today.
I will pay for all the expenses, and you won’t come home until you get drunk today.”
The meeting had originally arranged a luncheon, but usually this expense was paid from the chamber of commerce account, but Yang Xuan said that he would pay for it personally.
During the banquet, good wine and delicious food were kept on the table, and Yang Xuan even brought a cart of Sansheng Sanshi wine from Taoranju.
It's not like these shopkeepers have never drank three hundred taels of wine, but just letting everyone drink it is a big deal.
A total of seven tables were set up for the banquet. At each table, a bottle was placed on each person's head first, and then served after they finished drinking.
The meal and the wine alone cost more than 30,000 taels of silver.
All the shopkeepers couldn't help but secretly praise that this newly appointed young president, among other things, is quite generous and generous.
Moreover, the reputation is wide, so the wine of Sansheng Sanshi is usually in limited supply, so you may not be able to buy it with money.
Little did they know that Taoranju was also Yang Xuan's property, and a bottle of wine only cost more than 500 yuan based on cost price.
When the banquet was over, everyone took back one or two glass bottles of Sansheng Sanshi Liquor. It was considered a gift and could be used as a decoration at home.
After everyone dispersed, Yang Xuan came to the hot pot restaurant again. In a private room, the shopkeepers of the seven shops that had previously run Ming Pao were already waiting here.
Their reputation in Yingtian Mansion has become bad, and it will be difficult for them to live in Yingtian Mansion any longer. The reason why they are waiting here is to see what kind of arrangements Yang Xuan can give them.
After greetings and sitting down, Yang Xuan took out a stack of paper, which contained information about the seven shopkeepers.
After looking through it roughly, Yang Xuan said: "It turns out that none of the shopkeepers are from Yingtian Mansion."
He took the information and matched it one by one: "Shopkeeper Li of Longxi."
"Shopkeeper Li of Zhaojun."
"Shopkeeper Qinghe Cui."
"Shop Boling Cui."
"Shopkeeper Fan Yanglu."
"Shopkeeper Zheng of Xingyang."
"Shopkeeper Taiyuan Wang."
After reading the origins of several shopkeepers one by one, Yang Xuan scratched his head, why did the name sound familiar?
He didn't think so much for a while, and just said according to the plan: "You each belong to different regions, which happens to have no conflict with my arrangements."
Shopkeeper Cui of Qinghe first asked: "May I ask Shopkeeper Yang, what kind of arrangement is it?"
Yang Xuan waved his hand: "What do you think of the prospects of Shengfa Department Store?"
"This Shengfa Department Store's business model is novel and comprehensive, and we are very proud of it. If we continue to develop, we will definitely be able to make a lot of money every day."
They are all veterans of business for many years, and they have recently fought to the death with Shengfa Department Store. Naturally, they know Shengfa Department Store well, so they can also see that Shengfa Department Store is a money tree.
"Since you are so optimistic about Shengfa Department Store, would you be willing to buy shares in Shengfa Department Store?"
The seven people immediately looked at each other, completely disbelieving that such a good thing could happen to them.
It only took Shengfa Department Store two months to sweep through the entire Yingtian Mansion and defeat all trading companies. It is conceivable that in the near future, the entire Yingtian Mansion trade will be in the hands of Shengfa Department Store
.
With such a sure-profit business, Yang Xuan actually asked them if they were willing to invest in it?
"Yes, yes, I am willing."
"It's a fool who doesn't want to do such a good thing."
Yang Xuan was very satisfied with everyone's reaction, it was all part of his plan.
"Don't rush to agree. The one I want you to invest in is not the Shengfa Department Store in Yingtianfu."
"That is……?"
Yang Xuan took a sip of tea, whetted their appetites, and then said: "Everyone can return to your hometown. Shengfa Company authorizes you to open a branch of Shengfa Department Store. In name, it is Shengfa Company's branches in various places.
In the company, let’s share what we have and make money together, how about that?”
The seven shopkeepers thought deeply. Although they had been in business for many years, they had never had such a huge idea.
Although they do business by collecting goods from various places and selling them in Yingtianfu, it is simply appalling to expand their branches to such a wide area in one go.
In fact, they have almost figured out the business model of Shengfa Department Store, but the theory is simple, but it is not so easy to implement. This almost monopolistic business model will definitely be run by the original stores in various places.
Otherwise, they could open a Dafa Department Store, Xiaofa Department Store or the like.
When someone raised this question, Yang Xuan explained: "I can guarantee that there will be no trouble with the court. As for other merchants, you have to solve it yourself. Of course, Shengfa Company can also give you some extra
help."
"Extra help? What is that?"
Yang Xuan smiled mysteriously: "Shengbao is also an industry under Shengfa Company. Soon, Shengbao will be issued throughout the Sheng Dynasty."
"..."
Everyone in the room gasped at the same time.
This great reward of love belongs to Yang Xuan too.
With this sharp weapon in hand, their defeat to Yang Xuan was not unjust at all.
You know, this grand newspaper can simultaneously publish notices from the court, official documents issued by the Ming Dynasty, etc. every day.
It is even said that the notices that were just posted in front of the food markets and government offices in various places were already published in the newspapers issued that day.
They had run Ming Pao, so of course they knew that newspapers needed to be printed in advance. In other words, the official notices and documents from the court published in Sheng Pao were earlier than most people knew.
This proves that the relationship between this grand newspaper and the imperial court could not be closer.
No wonder Ming Pao was confiscated by the court, but Sheng Pao was not affected at all.
They have deeply experienced Yang Xuan's methods. With such help, if they still can't do it, then their business for so many years will be in vain.
Shopkeeper Cui of Qinghe first expressed his position: "If this is the case, why worry about the big thing failing? I am willing to invest in it."
Shopkeeper Li from Longxi also expressed his stance: "I am willing too."
Then several shopkeepers all expressed their willingness to buy shares.
Yang Xuan smiled slightly and briefly talked about the agreement on the shareholding with everyone.
For the branches of Shengfa Department Store in various places, the stores must be large enough and the decoration must be stylish enough. This part is the responsibility of the shopkeepers, who hold 30% of the shares. Shengfa Department Store provides goods and technical support and holds 70% of the shares.
After signing a simple letter of intent and looking at the signatures of the shopkeepers on the letter of intent, Yang Xuan suddenly remembered.
When these shopkeepers come together, don't they happen to be the five surnames and Qiwang?
