Huo Xi didn't reply to him, but only asked him what happened to the Jun family.

Mentioning the Jun family, Gen Qi was very pleased, "Ma'am, they have a lot of goods, I'm afraid they will rot in the warehouse again this time!"

A few days ago, various merchants compromised one after another and went to curry favor with the Jun family, making the Jun family think that the glory will come again, but unexpectedly it may be the last glory.

"Let people keep watching, and let people report any movement over there." Of course she has countermeasures, but she will only implement them after Jun can no longer stand up.

"Yes, ma'am." It seemed that Madam knew it well, and Gen Qi breathed a sigh of relief.

Yang Fu and Huo Xi flipped through the ledger at Nanbei Merchandise, and the corners of his mouth widened as he flipped through the books.

He has been here for more than a month, and the North-South Merchant Store has also opened for almost a month. It is really making money every day.With this dealership, Xi'er can become a wealthy man in Yunnan.

"Xi'er, the more I think about picking up the goods in another place, the more I think about it. If someone wants to take a lot of things from this local goods store, they are afraid that the road will be damaged or they will be robbed. For a shop like this, as long as you arrive, you can pick up the goods in the shop with the proof of delivery. We can prepare the goods in advance, not afraid of backlogs, help with transportation, and don’t need the merchants to carry them around. It’s wonderful. You say we Do you want to open one in the capital?"

Huo Xi nodded, "I'm planning to do this. I wanted to wait for a period of time for the trial operation to come and see. But I found that there are many merchants who come to the shop every day to learn from them, and there are also many distinguished customers with status and money. If they rob We opened a shop in the front, let alone let us fall behind, and handed over such a good idea to others."

"That's not it! It's obviously the method we came up with first, why let others learn it!"

"In the past few days, I have made some plans. We are in the south of the Yangtze River, and we have shops along the canal. We have been in business for more than ten years, and we are well-known and stable merchants in the local area. , Opening such a north-south cargo company, and using the fleet to deliver cargo, just happens to have an advantage over others."

Yang Fu's eyes brightened: "Yes, yes, yes, after moving the capital, I am afraid that many people will travel between Jiangnan and Beiping. The things you want to buy are paid in Jiangnan, and you don't need to carry them with you. You only need to go to Beiping to pick up the goods. For those small For merchants, it is the most convenient."

"Yes. In the future, our bulk business will be very prosperous. If small traders come to Jiangnan to buy goods and want to ship them back to the north for sale, they only need to pay the silver at the Jiangnan shop, pick up the goods at the Beiping shop, and then ship them to various places in the north for sale. No need. Bear the risk of shipping the goods along the way.”

Yang Fu was very excited: "Okay! Then I will write to shopkeeper Shen now and ask him to find a shop!"

"No, uncle, you have to go back and do it yourself."

Yang Fu disagreed, "Xi'er, I want to stay and help you."

Yang Fu couldn't wait to think of Jun's plan to plot against his niece and nephew-in-law.Xi'er doesn't have any relatives here in Dian, so he wants to stay and help her.

Huo Xi persuaded him, "Uncle, I also want you to stay. But you are the only one who is familiar with this North-South Merchant Store from its preparation to its opening to its current business conditions. No matter how detailed we wrote in the letter , shopkeeper Shen and other managers may not understand the essence of it, this matter must be handled by you."

Huo Xi told Yang Fu about her plan...

She plans to take the lead in the layout in the capital city and other places in the south of the Yangtze River, and open a shop like this in a big state capital and a city where there are shops on her canal.

The shops in Beijing and Beiping should be as big as the shops in Kunming, and the goods should be well-stocked. As for the shops in other cities, they are not their territory, and they only want to be fine and not big.

Don't block the road, and give other businesses some room to survive.Others should follow suit and just let them go.Don't compete with local snakes, and stay on the front line when doing things.

"We have more than ten years of experience in opening shops. We have a supply of goods and stable customers. We don't have to worry about running out of business. Even if others open the same shop, it doesn't matter. We have what others don't have, and we can do fine work if others have it. Now we are with The foreigners outside the customs have done business. There is a great demand for yaks and mutton outside the customs in Jiangnan. We have goods that others do not have. This is our advantage. We also have large ships going to the East, South, and West, and goods outside the customs. We have no shortage, and this is our advantage."

Yang Fu nodded with bright eyes: "That's right, we don't have to worry about running out of business in the future! Even if others open the same north-south goods store, they may not be able to do better than us!"

"Uncle is right. I still have a jade mine in my hand. Taking this opportunity, Uncle helped transport the stone back to the south of the Yangtze River. I asked jade craftsmen in Yangzhou and the capital to carve it out. This will be the most important piece of our business in the future. To do business with money. In addition to looking for a shop in a goods store, find a shop in Wang Street in Beijing and Beiping that specializes in jade business."

"Okay. Uncle made a note of it."

Yang Fu was gearing up, thinking about going back to the south of the Yangtze River, "What about the perfume business, should we also open one in the capital?"

The earliest perfume store Huo Xi bought a street when he went to Beiping. When he wanted to do business, he thought of starting a perfume store business from the very beginning. The perfume store in Peiping has been the most profitable among the many businesses in the north over the years. one.

Afterwards, in Tianjin, perfume stores were opened in several canal ports in the north.Although not as big as the shops in Peking, the business is booming.

It is convenient for travelers in the past, traffickers and pawns in the port and a group of boatmen.Although there are also imitation shops, the business is still booming.

As for whether the capital will open one...

Huo Xi shook his head: "No, the south of the Yangtze River is rich in water, and the perfume business is not as good as in the north, and it's not easy for us to attract too much attention in the capital."

Yang Fu agreed.The two talked about the North-South Merchant Store, and discussed for several days... some precautions for opening the shop, and some areas that can be improved.

"...The main shop in Beijing is the head office of Nanhuohang, and Beiping is the headquarter of Beihuohang. The reservation system is set up in both headquarter stores. Merchants can pay the deposit in advance and pick up the goods at a certain time after making an appointment. For example, livestock such as horses, cattle, sheep and mules, and furs. Making an appointment in advance will make it easier for us to stock up. For merchants who pay the deposit in advance, we can give certain discounts..."

"For shops in Jiangnan and Beiping, we have to set a certain threshold...Only for high-quality goods, only for bulk transactions, and individual customers can also do it, but merchants entering the venue have to pay a deposit of more than five taels, or they can only use special certificates. Admission..."

Unlike Kunming City, if you want to open such a store in other places, you don't have the advantages of resources and connections in the local area, so it's not easy to compete with local snakes for business.

To leave enough space for other merchants to survive.Otherwise, you will be squeezed and suppressed.If you cut off other people's money and cause a backlash, I'm afraid the bullet won't be able to hold back.

"Special certificate?"

"Yes, it is to issue vouchers representing their identities, or silver cards, or gold cards, etc. to merchants who have made transactions. Only with vouchers can they enter the venue in the future..."

Yang Fu was thoughtful, "In the future, Yunnan will also set up such a threshold?"

Huo Xi nodded, "Yes. Now, in order to suppress the Jun family, anyone can enter the venue. The people who live nearby either buy goods or not, and come every day. Listen to books, listen to playing and singing, drink free tea, come early in the morning Queuing, merchants who really want to come in to pick up goods are squeezed out instead."

Talked about many business methods with Yang Fu, and Yang Fu wrote them down one by one.

When Yang Fu was fully prepared to return to Jiangnan, Mu Yan came back.
