At this moment, there was a surge of people at the city gate, which suddenly attracted everyone's attention.
Looking up, he could only vaguely see a graceful girl slowly walking out of the city gate surrounded by a group of people.
A group of vendors waiting outside immediately ran around and surrounded the girl, directly surrounding the girl.
Fortunately, the girl was surrounded by a group of well-dressed guards, and these vendors could not get too close.
Seeing a crowd of vendors surrounding the girl like stars over the moon, His Majesty Li Er raised the curtains of the carriage and couldn't help but asked in surprise: "Who is this? Why is it so popular?"
Princess Gaoyang, who was sitting next to Li Shimin, pouted and said unhappily: "She is not the daughter of the Wu family given to Marquis Zhongyi by my father..."
He couldn't hide the strong jealousy in his tone.
A trace of surprise flashed in His Majesty Li Er's eyes. After a closer look, it turned out that it was indeed Wu Meiniang.
At this time, Wu Meiniang smiled beautifully, like a charming flower, which made people feel astonished.
If you take a closer look, you will see that he is aloof and arrogant.
Even though Li Shimin had seen countless women, he couldn't help but sigh that this girl was so beautiful and beautiful that she rarely saw in the world.
I remember that the last time I saw Wu Meiniang, the little girl was just pretty.
Unexpectedly, Wu Meiniang would now be nourished by that guy Yang Fan, and she would become plump and beautiful.
Not only does she have an extra sense of grace and beauty, her every move is also mixed with the aura of commanding the mountains and rivers, and she is indeed a woman who cannot be outdone by men.
Li Shimin glanced sideways at Princess Gaoyang, who was sulking, and joked: "Listen to what Shu'er means, are you blaming your father? But who told Shu'er not to meet Marquis Zhongyi earlier? Besides, Shu'er is no better than this
Wu's female servant will definitely be able to compete with her when she enters the Yang Mansion!"
Princess Gao Yang's pretty face turned red, then she clenched her little hands and said proudly: "Of course, Gao Yang is now the honorary president of the Datang Chamber of Commerce, and Wu Meiniang is the vice president, and she is still under Gao Yang's control!"
Seeing Princess Gaoyang's happy expression, Li Shimin was a little bit dumbfounded, and really didn't want to dampen his daughter's interest.
The honorary president is just a sign, with no actual rights at all, and only this silly daughter would believe it.
Li Shimin chuckled and looked at Wu Meiniang, who was surrounded by a group of vendors not far away. He couldn't help but frown and asked, "Why does that guy Yang Fan allow his concubine to show up?"
No matter how liberal the customs of the Tang Dynasty were, it was still inappropriate for a married concubine to mingle among a group of merchants.
This is why Li Shimin didn't mind even though the Datang Chamber of Commerce only gave Princess Gaoyang a false position.
"Father, this is discriminating against women. Why are women worse than men?" Princess Gaoyang retorted with an unconvinced look.
Li Shimin became stunned and did not refute. He would be really stupid to argue with his daughter on this issue!
However, when Yang Laifu saw Wu Meiniang coming out, he was immediately overjoyed.
Now that Lady Wu is here, there is no need to personally invite the young master to come out, because Lady Wu can also bring Li Shimin and the others in.
Soon, Wu Meiniang was brought over by Yang Laifu.
As soon as she saw Li Shimin, Wu Meiniang apologized and said: "I have disturbed the holy masters. Meiniang will definitely punish them when she returns. However, there are many manufacturing techniques in Junyangfang that should not be leaked. This is also not allowed. Please forgive me!"
Of course Li Shimin also knew the reason, he was just a little angry just now.
Now I saw Wu Meiniang apologizing, so I didn't get angry. Instead, I was a little curious about Wu Meiniang's behavior just now:
"What were you talking about with those merchants just now? Why did everyone come to you?"
Wu Meiniang smiled brightly and replied: "Our Datang Chamber of Commerce will open a chain of supermarkets in Datang. The products in these supermarkets must be all-inclusive. The reason why they come here is to sell their products in the supermarkets of the Datang Chamber of Commerce.
."
His Majesty Li Er was a little surprised and asked puzzledly: "If you put the goods in a so-called supermarket and buyers come to buy them, but so many goods are gathered in one place, the good and the bad will be mixed, and the prices will be confusing. How to deal with this?
What kind of situation?
Wu Meiniang smiled confidently and said: "There must be a dedicated person to record the place of origin, quantity, and quality, and then classify them into categories and inventory them. Moreover, if the product does not meet the quality, our Chamber of Commerce will blacklist it and no longer sell it.
."
His Majesty Li Er thinks this is a good idea. You can buy all kinds of dazzling products directly in one place, and someone has checked the quality. It is really convenient.
But there was one thing he couldn't figure out: "They are selling other people's products, so how can the supermarket of the Datang Chamber of Commerce make money?"
Speaking of this, Wu Meiniang quickly explained: "This method was proposed by Marquis Zhongyi. Meiniang was a little confused at the time, but now that I think about it, it is like a stroke of genius, and ordinary people cannot speculate."
"Actually, supermarkets make money in roughly three ways. First, if you want to sell things in the supermarket of our Datang Chamber of Commerce, you have to pay a franchise fee; second, it is the rental fee for the stall; third, it is the payment for goods delivered after thirty days...
"
Did that guy Yang Fan come up with it again?
His Majesty Li Er feels that his self-confidence has been hit, and his brain is running out of energy!
He boasts of his extraordinary beauty and intelligence, but why can't he always understand Yang Fan's method of making money? But he is also interested.
"Doesn't the payment still have to be handed over to the merchant who delivered the goods? How did it become the income of the Datang Chamber of Commerce?" His Majesty Li Er is still broad-minded and has the potential to ask questions without shame.
Wu Meiniang smiled confidently and said: "At the beginning, civilian women also had this question, but after figuring out the reason, civilian women will understand."
"You understand... I understand, you can tell me, do you want me to shamelessly ask you, a woman, again?" His Majesty Li Er was very angry and muttered in his heart.
Both Yang Fan and his family really like to titillate people.
Fortunately, Wu Meiniang didn't pretend to be mysterious and continued: "If you want to sell things in our Datang Chamber of Commerce Supermarket, you must sign a contract. There is a stipulation in the contract that the owner of the goods can only pay for the goods after thirty days without any normal complaints from customers. But this
The buyer still paid the payment when picking up the goods, so it remained in the hands of the Datang Chamber of Commerce. It seemed that the Datang Chamber of Commerce only withheld the payment for thirty days and had to hand it over in the end. But in fact, as long as this
As long as the goods yard exists, goods will be sold every day, so this kind of money will be received every day. As the goods yard expands, this money will become more and more..."
His Majesty Li Er finally understood.
This is a white wolf with nothing to show for it!
In fact, Li Shimin didn't know that the reason why Yang Fan proposed this concept was actually to learn from a certain treasure from later generations.
You must know that in the era of e-commerce, the retained funds of a certain treasure are as high as several trillions, which is a decent cash flow.
