Chapter 10 A good start!
Speaking of the prosperity of Bianliang in the Northern Song Dynasty, there is one place that cannot be bypassed, that is, Daxiangguo Temple.
Daxiangguo Temple is a temple, but it "opens ten thousand people's transactions five times a month", so it is also the largest commercial trading center in Tokyo.
The Song people's notes "Yan Yi Yimo Lu" says, "Tokyo Temple is a city of Wa, with a scattered monk's house, and the two wings of the atrium can accommodate tens of thousands of people. All business and travel transactions are gathered in it. Those who go to the capital to buy goods and resell other goods must be due to this."
"Tokyo Dreamland Record" once described it like this:
"There are birds, cats, dogs, and other birds and animals, and there are all kinds of rare birds and animals." It is a pet market;
"Second, what are the items used in the three doors? A colorful curtain and dewed house in the courtyard are set up, a shop combination, a mattress, a screen curtain, a washing, a saddle and a bridle, a bow and sword, a time fruit, a wax and a dry and so on." It is a daily necessities department store;
Near the Buddhist temple, it sells "Meng Family Daoguan, Wang Daoren Mi Jian, Zhao Wenxiu's pen and Pan Gumo", which is a cultural market;
"The two corridors are all the masters of the temple selling embroidery, collar plaster, flowers, pearls, jade, heads, gold patterns, squids, hats, special buns, crowns, ribbons, and strings, etc., and they sell handicrafts made by nuns of the temple;
"There are books in front of the gate of the palace, and they are good at playing, pictures, and other dismissed officials from all over the country, and the like." It is roughly a cultural market; "The back wall is full of sunny people (the diviner) and the art of conveying the spirit," and the products of divination and fortune tellers are used.
Here, both the elite and the masses appreciate each other. Ordinary people, literati and poets will come here for leisure shopping. It is a large commercial center. In fact, it is not easy to set up a store here.
However, Xu Fu is a housekeeper who has been working for more than ten years. He started a network of relationships and searched for a few days. Finally, he found a pretty good shop. Although the rent is relatively expensive and the transfer fee is quite large, the location is very good, the place is large enough, and the flow of people is not small.
Driven by relationships and money, the business license was also successfully completed.
It is very simple to configure milk tea, it is nothing more than a matching issue. Several servants choose a smart and flexible young man. Ouyang Bian learned it after teaching it a few times.
As for the decoration, it is also simple. There are many skillful carpenters. They made Ouyang Bian's pictures in just a few days. As for the matching paper cups, paper bags and straws, they were all easy to work. Xu Fu found a craftsman who made oil paper umbrellas to formulate a batch.
The key is ice making, which is not difficult for Ouyang Bian, and ice making is not difficult at all.
It took only about ten days to prepare and the milk tea shop named [Ice Room] officially opened.
The opening of the ice room did not set off firecrackers or the like, because the decoration of the ice room was already eye-catching enough.
The service staff in the ice room were dressed in uniform clothes, tailored Zhongshan outfits, and the guys were dressed quite energetic.
Green bamboo was transplanted into the ice room. At first glance, it was green and lukewarm when you saw it. At first glance, it felt like a breeze was blowing. As soon as you approached, there was really a cool air. Where did the cool air come from? It turned out that there were large chunks of ice in the corner of the wall, which made everyone who came in felt a little distressed.
This ice cube is a saint of cooling off only by wealthy families. It is all digging ice in winter and is hidden in the cellar. It consumes a lot of manpower and material resources. It is usually for your own use, and you have to save some use. Most of them are used to make some ice drinks before you can put them in. But this store uses it directly to adjust the temperature, which is really a luxury!
This store can be seen as a high-end food. Most people dare not enter. Those who dare to come in have money in their pockets. However, when they see the pricing, they can't help but breathe, because the pricing is really outrageous.
I don’t know what a cup of so-called [Burning Fairy Grass] is, so I dare to price 500 yuan!
A pound of rice costs only four or five cents, a pound of pork costs only twenty or thirty cents, and a cup of drink dares to charge 500 cents!
It’s not that I can’t afford to spend 500 cents, but I feel a little distressed, but the Song people are all very proud of their face. They have to serve all the food in the restaurant before they can eat. They can spend more than ten cents of a meal. Now that I’m in, I have to try it even if it’s expensive.
But this trial really made me realize the wonders.
This so-called milk tea contains real milk. It tastes the fragrance of tea. It also adds a lot of raisins and other dried fruits from the Western Regions. The key is that it adds a lot of expensive ice particles. Take a sip and gets hot all over. Adding the ice cubes placed in the ice room, the fatigue of shopping is swept away and you will be so excited!
It turns out that there is a reason for it to be expensive!
The defense between men and women in this matter is not the same as that afterwards. Many girls will go shopping with their father and brother. After trying it, they will be completely obsessed with this kind of drink called milk tea. It is a bit expensive, but when did girls consider the price of milk tea?
After a day, Xu Fu took a look at the young men in the ice room and sold more than 2,000 cups of milk tea!
The turnover alone exceeded one thousand trump cards!
When Xu Fu sent the numbers to Ouyang Bian, even Ouyang Bian felt it was incredible.
This is a cup of milk tea that costs 500 yuan. How dare you consume this?
Sure enough, this girl's money is easy to make.
Zhang Qi was also surprised when he saw the account book. The turnover was 1,000 guan. Excluding the cost of ice making and various expenses, the profit was only 500 guan. Although this day is the so-called five-time market per month, this profitability is too amazing, right?
His restaurant has 40 tables on two floors, and the staff of thirty or forty people serves, and the profit per day is only about 300 guan. This is already very amazing. This small milk tea shop has a net profit of 500 guan a day?
Of course, it may be that the turnover may be only half or one-third of the time during the day, but the labor and site here are only a lot, so it is impossible to compare!
"Let's open a branch immediately!" Zhang Qi made a decisive decision.
Ouyang Bian shook his head: "Our cash flow is not enough to open more, so we can open two more at most."
Zhang Qi shook his head: "Open ten companies, borrow money from me, and there is no interest, but I want to increase my investment, and I want 30% of the shares."
Ouyang Bian nodded in agreement. It is not difficult to open an ice room. Businessmen with a keen sense of smell will soon follow the trend. The ice room must seize the market as soon as possible and form its own brand effect, otherwise it will definitely form low-price competition in the future.
Since Zhang Qi is willing to invest, he should also give Duodian shares.
Xu Fu looked excited. He knew that from today on his identity, his half-component may have a value of ten thousand yuan in the future!
Although the next store, recruitment, training, and decoration will be very tiring, what are you afraid of if you are tired? For the poor, you have to seize the opportunity to take off!
