Our family has been rebelling for generations, and you've become the top scholar in the imperia

That evening.

Qin Feng arrived at the Li family's residence because members of the Chuanzhou Prefecture Chamber of Commerce had come to visit Li Jiuxing with gifts.

The meaning is obvious.

I just wanted to ask about franchising and also take a look at some goods from Qinzhou Prefecture.

"Lord Qin!"

When Qin Feng walked in, everyone immediately stood up from their chairs.

"Sit down, no need for formalities. This is your own business. I'm just here to observe. Don't worry about me, you can discuss it yourselves."

Qin Feng nodded slightly.

Sit down in the chair in front.

Listening to the conversation of the crowd.

He came over to see how the people from the Qin Prefecture Chamber of Commerce were negotiating with the other party, and whether Qiu Tuizi knew how to sell.

That's right!

The business model is good and naturally attractive, but you also need to know how to communicate effectively. You can't just get people to join; you need to ask them to take on the agency rights, which are pure money-making opportunities.

It can go straight into your pocket.

"These are the kinds of clothes, all women's undergarments. Nowadays, almost all the women from wealthy families in Qinzhou Prefecture wear these kinds of clothes. Moreover, courtesans buy them quite often and change them frequently!"

When Lao Qian saw these clothes, his expression froze for a moment.

This……

I never dreamed that the Li family was in this kind of business.

It's rather strange to see several grown men studying this here.

but.

At a glance, he could tell that this kind of clothing had never appeared before and was a business unique to the Li family.

"Other businesses owned by wealthy families can also be franchised. Many of these are unique businesses, meaning that they can't be found outside of Qinzhou Prefecture. Manager Qian should understand what this means."

"Of course!"

How could Lao Qian not understand?

A unique business is bound to make money, as long as imitations are restricted within the state capital, there won't be any problems.

Even a unique business won't work if it can't be restricted.

Of course, their chamber of commerce has some influence in Qinzhou Prefecture, so if they were to join these businesses, restricting counterfeiting wouldn't be a problem.

"These are the conditions for joining. The decoration and store selection need to be handled by our chamber of commerce. There are no other conditions. The franchise fee is refundable at the end."

After explaining the fees required to join the franchise with a smile, Qiu Tuizi quietly looked at the other party.

Qin Feng, sitting to the side, stared at the guy speechlessly.

Is this how you conduct business?

The others remained silent.

After saying that, you just let them think about it themselves?

"It seems we need to find a way to train these people on how to sell. This kind of sales approach is only a business unique to ancient times. If this were modern times, they wouldn't even have food to eat."

Qin Feng sighed silently to himself.

"Ahem!"

He coughed softly.

Everyone looked over.

Qin Feng looked at Lao Qian and his group across from him and said with a smile:

"Strictly speaking, this franchise system was designed by the government to enable many merchants to set up shops as soon as possible and strive to expand their businesses. Only when businesses expand will people need to work. It can be said that such a business can support many people."

"Lord Qin is truly a benevolent official."

Old Qian cupped his hands in a gesture of respect and uttered a word of praise.

It was actually the government office that came up with this idea.

Does that mean that the franchise model was actually Qin Feng's idea?

"To be honest, I don't recommend that your Sichuan Prefecture Chamber of Commerce join one or two stores. Frankly speaking, your chamber of commerce is not small in scale. Having a few such stores or not makes little difference."

These words were spoken.

Old Qian and the others exchanged glances, their faces full of confusion.

Does this mean they don't want to join?

"What does Lord Qin mean?"

"Beyond Chuanzhou Prefecture, there are three other prefectures bordering you. Am I mistaken? Including the prefectural capitals and county towns, those three prefectures have a total of more than a dozen towns. Adding the towns within Chuanzhou Prefecture itself, the total is definitely over twenty!"

Speaking of it.

Qin Feng grinned, stared at the other person, and said calmly:

"The Chuanzhou Chamber of Commerce never thought of taking over the business of more than twenty towns at once. Delivery from Qinzhou Prefecture can only go as far as Chuanzhou Prefecture. Any further is too costly. Even if those people wanted to join, they wouldn't agree."

"Think about it yourselves."

After saying that.

Qin Feng remained silent.

Old Qian and the others lowered their heads and fell into deep thought, as if they understood what it meant.

"Lord Qin, although I understand what you mean, this... I really don't know how to put it. Do you mean that Qin Prefecture supplies goods to the Chamber of Commerce, and then the Qin Prefecture Chamber of Commerce distributes them to other shops?"

"That's what the general agent means!"

Qin Feng nodded.

It's impossible for Qinzhou Prefecture to deliver all the goods on its own; modern transportation can't even reach that level.

As a last resort, they could only establish a general agent in each of the several prefectures.

Those from other prefectures who want to open a shop need to pay a franchise fee, part of which goes to the Qin Prefecture Chamber of Commerce, and the remainder can be kept by the general agent.

That's the model.

Based on the situation in Da Zhou, it would be possible to establish several general agents, but the price for these general agents would naturally not be too low.

After all, once the goods are delivered, the general agent can add a small price difference and supply them to other franchisees.

The amount of money alone, if the business expands, will be considerable.

"Let me explain to you what the term 'general agent' means, what benefits the Chuanzhou Prefecture will receive if it takes over the general agent position, and how to make money from it..."

Throughout the entire hall.

Silence.

Everyone sat up straight, listening intently to Qin Feng's story, their eyes wide open, their expressions as exaggerated as could be.

I never expected this.

Business can be done this way. The key point is that the profits here are not low. It involves businesses in several prefectures. Furthermore, there is more than one business that can be franchised in Qin Prefecture.

The profit from that mirror alone is considerable.

In addition to the clothes these women wore, there were several other businesses unique to Qin Prefecture.

If they can acquire all of these, the Chuanzhou government will no longer need to run its own businesses; it will only need to act as the general agent for these few businesses.

Li Wan, who had been standing to the side, looked at Qin Feng with a complicated expression.

I was deeply shocked.

Fortunately, he became an official. If Qin Feng were to go into business, he could probably run all the businesses in the entire Qin Prefecture by himself.

The others are no match for them. If this franchise model continues to develop, how much money will they make?

and……

Judging from this, the size of the workshop and the number of workers that the Li family initially designed were probably seriously insufficient, considering that they are now supplying so many shops in various prefectures and the volume of goods must be enormous.

As for whether Chuanzhou Prefecture will join the alliance.

With Qin Feng's involvement, judging from the situation of these people, they will definitely join, or even spend a lot of money to become the general agent.

The Chamber of Commerce isn't run by one person; with so many merchants pooling their money, there's definitely no problem.

"You all have some influence in the area, that's for sure, and I'm well aware of that. If you take over the general agency, you can restrict the future counterfeiting of this business!"

In conclusion.

Qin Feng smiled slightly.

I gave the other party a big one again.

"Has the Chuanzhou Chamber of Commerce not considered the South? There are so many prefectures there. The shops that Qinzhou personally joined are naturally expanding northwards; they can't possibly take care of the South..."

These words were spoken.

Old Qian and his companions swallowed hard and started panting.
