Chapter 46 The connection between business and government (Part 1)
The meeting with the three stewards of Sanshenyuan was actually nothing to describe. It was nothing more than exhortation and comfort. Especially for Wei Ximin, the steward of Shenyanyuan, Gao Pragmatic vowed to him that he would wait until he assisted Gao Mo to complete this servant escort. Recruitment, I will have a very important errand to be entrusted to him.
Wei Ximin was actually a little skeptical of Gao Pragmatic's words, but after all, Gao Pragmatic was already his legitimate master, so he could only show a happy face, patting his chest and promising to cooperate with Captain Gao Mo to escort the servants. The recruitment was done properly and beautifully.
After the three of them were also sent away by Gao Jingshi, the two girls, Shangyue Tingqin, had the opportunity to talk to Gao Jingshi.
Shang Yue made another cup of tea for Gao Pangshi, placed it in front of him, and asked: "Young Master, do you really have something important for Manager Wei to do, or are you just trying to stabilize him first?"
Gao pragmatically picked up the tea cup, glanced at her, and said with a half-smile: "Why, you don't believe what I just said? His slave contract is in my hands, and I still need to accommodate him and take care of his ideas?"
Shang Yue said: "How can I dare to doubt the eldest young master? It's just that... I really can't think of any other big things for the eldest young master that need a steward to handle."
"Your eldest young master, I have a lot of important things to do." Gao Pingshi sneered: "Don't talk about the three of them, another thirty may not be enough."
Looking at the moon, he wondered: "Is there really so much going on?"
"It's true." Gao Pragmatic said seriously, "For example, Wei Ximin, he used to manage the warehouse of Sanshenyuan, which shows that my uncle can trust his character. At the same time, he also managed the guests, which shows that this person is in He must also be quite capable in dealing with people... In the future, after our soap production is on the right track, I will first find a way to present the best products to the palace, and at the same time arrange for people to spread the word in the capital. During this period, in the capital, We have to start laying the groundwork to prepare for opening up the capital market in one fell swoop in the future, and the person to do this is Wei Ximin."
Shang Yue said "Oh", as if he still hadn't completely followed his train of thought.
But Gao Pragmatic has already continued: "The next thing he has to do is to continue to promote the magical effects and 'nobility and elegance' of soap in the capital, while buying two to three stores, with himself as the general manager, and preparing to open a limited number of stores. Sell."
Hearing this, Tingqin asked in surprise: "What does limited sales mean?"
Gao pragmatically raised his eyebrows and said, "We only sell a specified quantity every day, while supplies last."
"Why is that?" Tingqin was even more surprised: "Isn't it true that the more you sell, the more money you make?"
Gao Pragmatic laughed: "Of course the truth is like this, but how to make more and more people anxious to buy is very particular." When he said this, he smiled a little proudly: "Besides, , I have other ideas."
As the elder sister, Shangyue is bolder after all. Recently, she has become more and more convinced that Gao Pragmatic is not as hot-tempered as the eldest young masters in other families and bosses around the servants. Therefore, she dared to make a little joke and immediately rolled her eyes at him and said : "Young master, your expression is very much like those treacherous people in the drama, with a look of betrayal."
Gao pragmatic rolled his eyes unceremoniously: "Nonsense, there's something wrong with your eyes. I'm clearly like Zhuge Kongming shaking his goose feather fan and confidently saying, 'I have a plan to defeat Cao's thieves.'"
.”
Shang Yue listened to the piano and laughed at the same time. Shang Yue said with a clever smile: "Okay, okay, my eldest young master Kong Ming, what tricks do you have in mind? You might as well tell the slaves and maids to know about it, so as to open their eyes."
.”
Gao Pragmatic smiled: "There are three main reasons why we limited the supply at the beginning. The first is because our production capacity must be limited at the beginning, but we must first maintain our contribution to the palace, and the capital turnover must be
It’s not that fast, so we can’t increase production immediately, so we have to limit shipments.”
"Oh..." The two little girls nodded together, looking like they suddenly understood.
"The second thing is that 'things are rare and valuable'. If you think about it, the palace has begun to use soap for bathing. Although it is sold outside, there is not much supply. If you want to buy it, you may not be able to buy it. As a result,
What will happen?" Gao Pragmatic asked seductively.
The two women looked at each other and Tingqin said: "Will the price increase?"
Shangyue was inspired by her sister and thought: "Maybe someone will buy the first batch of soap and sell it to someone who is richer but is anxious to buy it, so that they can make a profit from it?"
Gao Pragmatic laughed and praised: "Not bad, you two are not stupid enough to see this... Yes, this will definitely lead to some second-rate dealers appearing on the market to make money through buying and selling."
Ting Qinqi said: "This is the money that the young master should earn, how can they let them profit from it so easily? Young Master, you are so smart, you must have a way to deal with them, right?"
Gao pragmatic waved his hand and said with a smile: "No need to deal with it, I like people to give me a ride."
Both women were stunned for a moment, and Shang Yue hesitated and said, "But this won't have any impact on your reputation, right?"
Gao pragmatic shook his head and said: "I do business in an open and fair manner. If I say purchase limit, I mean purchase limit. No matter who comes to the store, they must queue up to buy in accordance with the order. Each person is only allowed to buy two boxes at a time. It is neither allowed to jump in line nor allowed.
It’s over the limit. But whether they bought it for themselves or as gifts to relatives and friends, I can’t control this as a seller. How will it affect my reputation?”
"But... but..." Shang Yue frowned and thought hard, and finally came up with a question and asked: "But there are many powerful people in the capital. I feel that many people will find ways to come to you through various channels. See
Let’s see if you can help them provide some extra, what will happen then?”
"Good luck!" Gao Pragmatic clapped his hands and laughed: "This is the third reason why I want to sell it in limited quantities: to see what's on the menu!"
Everyone who admired the moon and listened to the piano looked surprised. They looked at each other for a while, but neither of them was willing to speak.
Gao Pingshi smiled and said: "Why, do you think what I did is very ungentlemanly?"
Tingqin didn't answer, Shangyue said bravely: "Young master, doing this is indeed a bit...a bit..."
Gao Pragmatic waved his hand and said: "You are too superficial in looking at the problem, but I don't blame you." He paused slightly and said: "Why are powerful people considered powerful? Because they not only have status and financial resources, but also all kinds of powerful people.
In the network of people, if you befriend one person, you will sometimes make friends with a group of people. If you offend one person, you will offend a group of people. I have an old uncle and an uncle who is a minister. Logically speaking, of course I can barely be considered a son of a powerful person.
But what you have to know is that after all, uncles are just uncles, and uncles are just uncles after all. When they were in power, others would naturally look at me differently, but they are much older than me, and some of them will eventually return to their hometowns in the future.
