Chapter 31: Membership
As soon as Lu Bu said the price, he saw that Cao Cao and Yuan Shao's faces turned green, and he guessed that the price would be a bit high.
There is no sesame oil for sale in the Eastern Han Dynasty, so the price is not easy to compare.
However, if it is put into modern times more than 1,900 years later, thirty taels of silver will cost more than 10,000 soft sister coins!
The sesame oil costing more than 10,000 yuan per pound, ahem, the price seems to be a little higher.
Lu Bu asked for a voice and said, "But who made this business happen by our brothers in partnership? My part is naturally to be excluded. So the price per kilogram of magic oil is set at twenty taels of silver."
Yuan Shao couldn't help but say angrily: "Fengxian, why don't you rob it?"
Lu Bu showed a look of grievance on his face, but he was thinking in his heart, aren’t I snatching now?
There are two of you who are stupid and rich second generations who have a lot of money. Who will you steal if you don’t?
But he said, "Brother Benchu, how could you say that to me? This is really the lowest price, and it can't be reduced anymore!"
Yuan Shao said angrily: "Fengxian, your magic oil is so expensive, we can't afford it. You should sell it to someone else!"
Lu Bu said helplessly: "Brother Benchu, that's really a pity. Why don't I go to Mr. Cai to ask if he is interested?"
Lu Bu stood up and wanted to leave, but Cao Cao grabbed him.
Cao Cao gave Yuan Shao a wink, and then said to Lu Bu: "Fengxian, Benchu is just a joke for you, why take it seriously? We must buy the magic oil, but the price is really too expensive! If we follow this price, we will not make any profit at all! Fengxian, see, is it at this price..."
Lu Bu said helplessly: "Brother Meng De, it's not that I'm unwilling to be able to accommodate me. The price has really dropped to the lowest price. Heaven and Earth are so conscience, I really haven't lie!"
Cao Cao looked at Lu Bu and said dissatisfiedly: "Fengxian, it's boring for you like this. This magical oil is so expensive. We don't have to make any profit when opening a restaurant. So what's the point of opening a restaurant?"
Lu Bu looked at Cao Cao and Yuan Shao and asked in confusion: "Brothers, I believe you have tasted the dishes you made. Do you think there is any restaurant in Luoyang City that tastes better than the taste?"
Cao Cao and Yuan Shao couldn't help but shake their heads and said, "That's not!"
Lu Bu couldn't help but say, "Well, since that's the case, then it's not expensive to sell a plate of brassica (rapeseed) for ten taels of silver, right?"
"What? Ten taels of silver? Why don't you grab it?"
Hearing Lu Bu's words, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao couldn't help but even their eyes were almost glaring out.
You dare to say it!
A big cart of Brassica can be bought for ten taels of silver, or a door-to-door delivery service.
Even the best restaurant in Luoyang City, I dare not ask for a tael of silver for a plate of brassica. Could this Fengxian be crazy?
I saw Lu Bu saying disdainfully, "Two brothers, are there many rich people in Luoyang City?"
Yuan Shao said dissatisfiedly: "Luoyang is the capital of the Han Dynasty, so there are naturally more rich people."
Lu Bu said, "Well, our big restaurant is the most popular customer of these rich people. What do rich people care about the most? It is status and face. Do you think those noble people will care about hundreds or thousands of taels of silver for a meal?"
"We not only have to set the price of the food, but also adopt a membership system. Only the VIP guests from our Taibai Restaurant can come in and consume. If not, I'm sorry, you can't even get in."
Yuan Shao couldn't help but frown and said, "Where is the reason why you don't make money when you open the door to do business? The more Feng Xian said, the more he became, the more unreliable it became."
However, Cao Cao showed a thoughtful look on his face, as if he had grasped something, but when he thought about it carefully, he couldn't figure it out.
Lu Bu couldn't help but smile and said, "Two brothers, please listen to my idea first to see if it will be successful. On the day when our Taibai Restaurant is open, we can invite a few people in Luoyang City to entertain them, and then give each of them a VIP card."
"These people will naturally promote our delicious food when they eat us! Then, there will naturally be people who come here to tell them that when they think of Taibai Restaurant, they must apply for a VIP card to enter."
"Ordinary VIP card requires a prepayment of 1,000 taels of silver and spent within one year. Silver VIP card requires a prepayment of 5,000 taels of silver, and the most honorable golden VIP card requires a prepayment of 10,000 taels of silver!"
"Every registered VIP enjoys different treatments. Ordinary VIPs only enjoy ordinary treatment. Silver VIPs can go to the single room on the second floor to spend, and golden VIPs can go to the best private room on the third floor to spend... Of course, there are many detailed divisions here."
"By the way, the most important thing is that each card has to be limited to the number of people. For example, ordinary VIP cards are limited to 300, silver VIP cards are limited to 100, and gold VIP cards are limited to 50."
Cao Cao and Yuan Shao listened to Lu Bu's words, their eyes brighter the more they listened, and in the end they were about to spit out fire.
It's incredible, how did this Fengxian think of this!
Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were simply unwilling to break Lu Bu's head and see how different his brain circuit was from others!
However, Lu Bu's last words made the two confused and puzzled.
Cao Cao couldn't help asking, "Fengxian, if you open the door to do business, how can you push your customers out? Is it a limit on the number of people..."
Speaking of this, Cao Cao felt a little guilty, because Feng Xian said this, probably his reason was in it, but he didn't expect it.
Thinking of this, Cao Cao couldn't help but say, "Why don't we expand the restrictions, for example, the average VIP card is limited to 10,000? The silver VIP card is limited to 9,000? The golden VIP card is limited to 8,000?"
Huo! Just you still call it a limit?
In the entire Luoyang City, it is not certain whether there are ten thousand people who can come to Taibai Restaurant to consume!
Lu Bu couldn't help but smile and said, "Two brothers, things are precious because they are rare. What do rich people like the most? It's face! It's because they are rare, so they are rare!"
"If anyone has a golden VIP card from our Taibai Restaurant, he will be very proud! This will make him look precious! If it is a big street, it will be worthless. Who would still care about it!"
yes!
What Fengxian said makes sense, it’s really reasonable!
However, Yuan Shao still said unwillingly: "Bengxian, what you said makes sense, but the number is too small, right? With these people, it is difficult to support our too-white wine shop?"
Lu Bu smiled and said, "If we set the quantity less, it will make our VIP cards very expensive, but in practice! In fact, the quantity can be relaxed appropriately. Anyway, outsiders don't know how many VIP cards we have issued! However, the golden VIP cards must be limited to a certain amount!"
Chapter completed!
