Take the mall to Datang

The cotton-filled sofa is very soft, and there is no one around. The walls are made of cotton interlayers to reduce noise. In such a quiet environment, Yuan Shan sat on it and soon fell asleep. When he opened his eyes, the sun was shining. It's almost sunset.

Just went downstairs to find a group of people still playing billiards, this time it was Yuchi Jingde who was shouting, and Yuchi Baolin was still there to cheer, looking at the posture, it should be leading the goal.

Now standing here are all generals and their guards, even Qin Qiong is having fun.

As soon as Yuan Shan came down, Changsun Wuji saw him, and immediately shouted: "Where have you been, Yuan Shan, I've been looking for you for a long time."

"Uncle Changsun looking for me?" Yuan Shan asked curiously.

"Yes, see if you can sell your table tennis to me." Changsun Wuji said.

"Uncle Changsun's table tennis is not for sale." Yuan Shan said casually.

"Uncle Changsun can come here to play anytime if he likes. If you are afraid of crowds, you can call for an appointment first." Yuan Shan continued.

Changsun Wuji originally wanted to fight for it, but Yuan Shan's meaning was very direct so he didn't go on. In fact, it wasn't that Yuan Shan didn't want to sell table cases, it was just because these things were bought from the system mall, wood paint, etc. Compared with the current Datang, the craftsmanship is much ahead. Besides, he doesn’t want to ask people to carry this thing to sell it. It is impossible to achieve such a round ball, and if it is sold, it will inevitably cause some trouble sooner or later.

Let’s put it here and wait for the workshop’s steam machine tool to be applied. At that time, even if the paint process cannot be realized, it can always imitate something similar, and the most important thing is actually the standard of data. If the ball is placed on the table, it will If you roll it by yourself, why use someone to beat it.

These things flashed in Yuan Shan's mind instantly, so he refused not because he couldn't make money, but because he was afraid of trouble. Besides, Yuan Shan didn't believe that no one could imitate this kind of wooden billiard ball, no doubt it would cost more It's just time.

Making money does not mean blindly sharing and mastering the core technology is the key. Yuan Shan rejected Changsun Wuji, but said: "Uncle Changsun, there is something particular about playing billiards. For example, cue sticks with different materials feel different. , Hardness and softness are all factors considered by golfers. Different cues are used to hit different billiards. This is very particular. Since Uncle Changsun likes billiards so much, I happen to have a few sets of better cues. I gave it to Uncle Changsun."

As he said that, Yuan Shan asked the waiter who was serving the ball to get things, and then a set of boxed combined clubs was delivered to Changsun Wuji, which looked much better than the clubs used by current players. It's so beautiful.

Changsun Wuji doesn't like billiards. To put it bluntly, he wants to use these billiards to sell money. He didn't expect Yuanshan to be a slick guy, so he gave him clubs, but when Changsun Wuji saw this set with The cue with gorgeous pattern is attracted by the whole hand of this cue.

"How about this set of clubs?" Yuan Shan asked.

"It's very beautiful. Since it was given by my nephew Yuanshan, I will accept it." Changsun Wuji was not polite, but he was thinking in his heart that he must find someone to make this kind of pool table when he went back. The reason was simple. He also went up to play, but after a few hits, he missed or missed, which made him lose face, so he didn't continue to play. Instead, he thought about this business as soon as he saw other people playing happily.

In fact, it is normal for beginners to make mistakes when they want to master billiards for the first time. After getting used to it, it will be much better. But surprisingly, people like Yuchi Jingde and Cheng Zhijie who are good at using horses are quicker to learn. , The fight has become more intense these few times.

When Yuan Shan was talking to Changsun Wuji, he looked there deliberately, thinking that this is American billiards, the ball is bigger and the cue is thicker, and these ruthless people play so fiercely, if they accidentally hit someone, it will be troublesome .

I thought to myself that fortunately this pool table is relatively strong, otherwise I can’t afford to be shocked by these people acting like this. After talking to Changsun Wuji for a few words, I found out that the problem came. Hurry back and the city of Chang'an has long been under curfew. Even generals like them may not be able to enter by then.

"Uncle Changsun is already at this hour, you haven't eaten yet, I'm going to prepare meals for everyone now, and at the current time, let's stay here tonight, I'll ask someone to prepare it." Yuan Shan Said.

"It's so good." Changsun Wuji said.

The business hours of this department store are longer than those of Chang'an City. At night, they basically stop selling products and start to deal with store affairs, replenishment and settlement, etc.

There happened to be shops selling snacks, so Yuanshan ordered some for each of them and asked them to send the meals upstairs. There were more than 20 generals and guards in total. That's why Yuanshan found a lot of snacks to order. .

Then Yuan Shan found Qin Si and asked her to go to the nearby Medical Hall Inn to arrange a room. Yuan Shan didn't expect that the first batch of guests staying in the medical hall's dormitory turned out to be the generals.

I thought that this is good, at least it will allow all the existing industries to be used. This can also test whether the surrounding service facilities can achieve the expected results. After arranging these things, Yuanshan bid farewell to the generals. He didn't know what happened that night.

When I came here in the morning, I heard from Qin Si that Cheng Zhijie and others left with dark circles under their eyes. Only Changsun Wuji and a few others went to the Medical Hall Inn to rest. They were quite happy when a group of people left. He said that he would fight another [-] rounds with all the soldiers in another day.

After listening to Qin Si, Yuan Shan understood what was going on. Playing billiards is still so addictive. It seems that the business of this arena will improve soon. Based on Yuan Shan's understanding of these people, the fourth floor may be closed. It's time to stop.

"By the way, have Qin Si's accounts been calculated yesterday?" Yuan Shan asked.

"It's been agreed, the ledger is in the office..." Qin Si said.

Chapter 382 Golden Autumn October

Yuan Shan checked the account carefully and suddenly saw that Qin Si was a little tired, and asked, "Qin Si, didn't you rest yesterday?"

"Yes, just sleep less." Qin Si said.

"If you're sleepy, go to the fifth floor to catch up on sleep." Yuan Shan said.

"Good young master, Qin Si knows." Qin Si replied.

After looking at it for a while, Yuanshan felt that the above statistics were not bad. The turnover of these stores was only a general situation after asking people to ask, but even so, the sales of the stores can be seen. The income of the snack industry is relatively considerable. The rice grain mall has a relatively large amount, but generally speaking, it comes from orders from Yuanjia and various chambers of commerce.

Yuanshan recorded some data, marked all the shops that earned less, and compared each shop with many shops in the same industry to see what actually affected their sales.

The mall will not directly intervene in their business, but it can collect statistics and train the merchants. This can be regarded as the benefit of the mall for these merchants. To put it bluntly, it is for the sake of the department store mall, and the sales of Yuanjia's own stores .

Just like this, I stayed in the office for a whole morning. At noon, Xiyin and Qimeng came back. Yuanshan saw that it was lunch time, and I went to Yuan's snack bar for office meals.

"Master, today's traffic is not as much as yesterday, it seems to be less than half of yesterday's." Qimeng said.

"This is normal. Not everyone has time every day, and they don't have needs every day. Most people in Lantian County are mainly engaged in agricultural production. There is no way to change it at present, but I believe this situation will not be long. It will get better, and we will talk about work after lunch." Yuan Shan said.

Yuan Shan found that these female secretaries were starting to develop into strong women. Before, those who had dinner would not talk about work. This change is still big.

Now everything in the department store is still normal. After yesterday's stimulating consumption, the merchants feel pretty good, but today's transaction volume has dropped significantly, but the business is like this and it can't make money every day.

After lunch, Yuan Shan went to see the situation of the centralized warehouse. The current project has basically been completed. The construction team is now constructing the surrounding supporting work, the road signs of the cement road, and installing some fences and other equipment. Thousands of people are busy. There is no time to spare, and they even have to extend their workload by an hour every day.

This is not Yuanshan squeezing the labor force, but that the autumn harvest will be here in a few days. At that time, most of the laborers will go home to collect food. This is not to grab working hours. Yuanshan also offered welfare subsidies as a condition for these workers. Complaints work even harder.

"Butler Zhou, what's the situation in the warehouse now?" Yuan Shan approached Zhou and asked.

"Young master, the main construction of the warehouse has been completed. Now the workers are repairing the road and tidying up the surrounding environment. It is expected that all will be completed before the autumn harvest, including the surrounding cement road. However, the cement road needs to be maintained for nearly a month before it can be put into use." Zhou Dao Introduced.

"Well, you need to worry more about the warehouse." Yuan Shan said.

Then Zhou Zhou took Yuan Shan to look around the warehouse. The main warehouses for storing grain are the first to be completed. During the autumn harvest, most of the items of the Chengdu corn project can be stored here. As long as these few If a warehouse is filled in Chang'an, there will be no shortage of food. Usually, the food in Chang'an mainly comes from the Hanzhong area. This is related to the geographical environment. Otherwise, Chang'an will not be abandoned and moved to Luoyang in the future.

Yuan Shan knew that this might be his last market warehouse project, so he didn't know how much of the funds invested in Tianhe would be able to flow back when it was officially put into use. Now it depends on Datang's transportation capacity.

The ground near the warehouse is all cement roads, which have been put into use now. After inspecting a few large warehouses with Yuan Shan, Zhou Wu took a carriage around and said, "Master, the cement road being maintained in front is directly connected to the warehouse. Going to Lantian County, - the one next to it is the main freight road leading to Chang'an."

"These two cement roads have just been repaired and need maintenance in a few days. In addition, there are post stations and carriage houses on these roads. The drivers can rest and feed the horses. You can also rent carriages at any time. According to the young master's request, you can buy them at Yuan's house The post station also has a regular manned delivery service." Zhou thoughtfully said.

"Well, Steward Zhou has done a good job. It seems that handing over the warehouse to you can reassure me. I think you will be in charge of the warehouse management in the future." Yuan Shan said.

"Listen to the young master's arrangement." Zhou Dao responded immediately.

Zhou Zhou is also a bit complicated in his heart. He hasn't been working for a few days. He is either building a kiln or in charge of warehouse management. Anyway, now he is getting monthly money and getting more and more things, but he is a housekeeper. What I do now is completely different.

But now the situation is quite good, he earns more money and is more free, but he is the life of a slave housekeeper after all, but he immediately agrees when he hears that Yuan Shan is so sure that he will work thoughtfully here.

"During the autumn harvest, the warehouse may be busy, but you have to prepare in advance." Yuan Shan said.

"Don't worry, young master. I'm already mobilizing those who don't have land in the construction team to join the warehouse as workers, and many of them have already signed work contracts." Zhou Fang immediately said.

"That's good, remember that success is reserved for those who are prepared." Yuan Shan praised casually.

Yuan Shan is very satisfied with Zhou Xiang. Not only is he capable but also willing to work hard for so long, he feels a little embarrassed after going on like this. It happens that when the warehouse is busy, it needs a careful person to manage it. Zhou Fang fully meets this condition. Just let him take care of himself, it is enough for the butler of the Yuan Family Manor to have a big maid named He Ye.

In the golden autumn of October, the autumn harvest season begins in the north, and the farmers begin to get busy. The workers in the centralized warehouses are all on vacation, and all the projects in hand are completed. New projects can only be established after the autumn harvest. The engineering captain went to worry about it himself.
