super god warlord

"Look, this necklace is so beautiful." Olga's exclamation interrupted Zhao Shouhong's thoughts again, and only then did he realize that he had been dragged to the jewelry counter by the other party.

"Ma'am, you have great vision. This is the treasure of our store. This necklace was made by Sonny, a famous jeweler in the Western Continent. It is set in platinum with dozens of sapphires inlaid on it. The big one is called Dream Blue, which is also the name of the necklace. Look at the color of this gem, it’s as deep as the sea, it’s so beautiful.” The clerk saw two elegantly dressed men and women coming to the counter, and skillfully introduced the product Come.

"Yes, it's so beautiful." Olga said absently, her face was already blushing at this moment.The clerk's words of madam just now filled her heart with secret joy.

"How much is this necklace?" Seeing Olga staring at the necklace all the time, Zhao Shouhong couldn't help asking.

"Thirty-five thousand Chinese yuan." Seeing the other party asking the price, the clerk happily replied, and at the same time explained more attentively.You must know that this necklace is the highest grade among all the goods, and if it can be sold, he will get a [-]% commission.The commission of [-] Huayuan, even if it is only [-]%, is nearly [-] Huayuan, which is already his salary for several months.

"It's too expensive." Olga frowned, feeling unacceptable even in her capacity.

Zhao Shouhong came close to her ear and teased in a low voice: "As the princess of the Raksha Kingdom, it seems that you shouldn't be so stingy."

Olga gave him a blank look and replied in a low voice: "Since my father decided to restore the country, all the money has been used by him to build an army. I am a poor man now, how can I afford such an expensive necklace."

Hearing Olga's words, Zhao Shouhong's heart tightened for no reason.She thought that the dignified princess of the empire should be a very poor and extravagant Miss Jiao who doesn't know what money is.But now, in order to restore the country, she not only has to stay away from her parents and forcefully smile by her side, but also saves every penny, all for her father's dream of restoring the country.

Zhao Shouhong felt the distress in the other party's heart. He knew that Olga would not care whether Luo Sha was in power or not. She only liked a carefree life.But the persecution of her status makes her unable to let go of herself, and even facing her favorite jewelry, she can only look at the ocean and sigh.

"It's okay, this is a gift from me." Zhao Shouhong said to the clerk, "Wrap up the necklace, I want it."

"Okay." Seeing the other party paying, the clerk immediately took out the necklace quickly, put it gently into the box, and then wrapped it tightly with ribbons.

"A gift from you?" Olga blushed and looked at Zhao Shouhong with affectionate eyes.

Zhao Shouhong was taken aback for a moment, and then knew that the other party had misunderstood him, so he had no choice but to add: "Ordinary friends can also give gifts." But this sentence can only be described more and more darkly, making Olga's eyes more playful .

"I will cherish it, because you gave it to me." The meaning of Olga's words can be understood by deaf people, so Zhao Shouhong could only lament that he couldn't explain clearly.

"The amount of money is too high, please go to the accounting room to pay." The clerk quickly wrote on a receipt with a pen, then clamped the receipt in a clip hanging on a wire and flicked it vigorously, with a swish sound With a light sound, the iron clip flew forward along the wire with the bill.

Zhao Shouhong looked up and found that the air was densely covered with such wires. They extended from each counter, like dense spider webs, and connected to the cashier on the high platform.The bill thrown out by the clerk slipped under the clip, and soon came to the cash register, where it was directly hung on a hook.

The cashier took off the receipt without looking up, looked at it, wrote something on it, and stamped it again.He put the bill in the clip again and took off the hook.Because the cashier counter is relatively high, the clip that was detached from the hook quickly returned to the top of the clerk's head under the action of gravity.

The clerk took off the bills from the hook, handed one of them to Zhao Shouhong and said, "I'm sorry sir, because your amount is too large, I have to ask you to pay in the accounting room."

Zhao Shouhong nodded, took the bill and handed it to a guard, who took the bill and walked quickly towards the financial office.Zhao Shouhong was standing by the counter, waiting for the guards to come back. He looked up with interest at the wires that covered the roof, and soon discovered the trick.

It turned out that when other customers purchased items, they handed over the money to the clerk.After the clerk fills out the receipt, he will clip the money and send it to the cashier, and the cashier will seal it, and put the change back on the clip and send it back.It seems that the things I bought are too expensive, and the amount of money is too large to be clipped in the clip, so I have to trouble him to the financial office.

Chapter 7 and One: Boss Wu Baixiang

The guard returned after a while, and he also brought back a bill with another seal.The clerk put away the receipt and handed the box containing the necklace to Zhao Shouhong.Zhao Shouhong casually handed the box to Olga and said, "Put it away."

Olga looked at Zhao Shouhong with big beautiful eyes, then smiled and said, "May I wear the necklace now, I like it very much."

"Of course." Zhao Shouhong opened the box very gentlemanly, took out the sapphire necklace inside, walked behind Olga, and put it around her neck with his own hands.After fastening the clasp of the necklace, Zhao Shouhong's hand inevitably touched the smooth skin of Olga's neck.Feeling the warmth and smoothness from his fingers, and looking at the ivory-white neck, Zhao Shouhong couldn't help feeling a little distracted.

Olga is different from ordinary white women, with large pores and freckles on her face. Her skin has both the fairness of Western women and the delicateness of Eastern women, and she can hardly see any defects.Zhao Shouhong couldn't help stretching out his hand, wanting to feel that moving feeling again.

A voice suddenly sounded at this moment: "Guest, are you satisfied with the service here?" Zhao Shouhong was interrupted by the voice, and immediately realized his gaffe. He withdrew his hand and looked at the person who heard the voice. direction.

The person who came was a middle-aged man with a long beard. He was not tall but looked sharp and sharp. His eyes were piercing, but there was no philistine look of a businessman on his face.Zhao Shouhong nodded and said, "The service here is very good. The shop assistants are very polite and make customers feel very comfortable."

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "That's good. Just now I heard that you bought the dreamy blue necklace, so I came here to have a look."

"That necklace is very beautiful, and my friend likes it very much." Zhao Shouhong said, "Excuse me, are you the boss here?"

"Don't dare, I'm Wu Baixiang, one of the bosses here." The other party replied with a smile.

Zhao Shouhong thought in his heart that sure enough, this person was extraordinary at first glance, and he was indeed the retail tycoon in Hualan's history.After the establishment of Xinhualand in later generations, the capitalist system was abandoned for a certain period of time, so that a group of national capitalists like Wu Baixiang failed to grow and grow, and missed opportunities in vain.If not, Zhao Shouhong is almost sure that Wu Baixiang's company will definitely develop into a world retail giant like the later Wal-Mart.

In this era, Zhao Shouhong will naturally not make the mistakes of 'posterity' again, instead he intends to help this person. "Boss Wu is indeed a successful person. It is really enviable to establish such a large foundation at such a young age." Zhao Shouhong replied with a smile.

Wu Baixiang also seemed to feel the extraordinaryness of the other party, and he was also willing to have a few words with the other party.Hearing Zhao Shouhong's praise, Wu Baixiang stroked his beard and smiled and said, "This is also thanks to the good policies of the special zone. I started from scratch. Although I have made some money over the years, I can't gather so much money. Thanks to the bank's mortgage A loan is what allows me to have the funds to operate such a large store, and the preferential policies of the special zone also allow me to invest all my money with confidence."

"You seem to be very confident in the policies of the special zone." Olga was also very interested when she heard Wu Baixiang's words.

Wu Baixiang nodded: "I'm very confident. Master Zhao's every measure is supporting the development of industry and commerce. In the past, we didn't dare to invest all the funds in the mainland, for fear that sometime the property would be robbed by rebels and we would lose everything. Even if there are no rebels, we still have to worry about the government's exploitation and the extortion of local hooligans."

"That's true. The warlords in the eastern provinces are fighting in a scuffle. In order to extract more funds to buy weapons, those warlords are exploiting businessmen with different methods. I used to be a small businessman, but the money I earned couldn't afford the exorbitant taxes, so I had to Abandoning his home to flee famine and coming to Zhongchuan, he became such a small clerk." The clerk who sold the necklace had no business at hand, so he couldn't help but join in the conversation: "Besides, the hooligans need money every month. Throwing things around is annoying. It’s much better here in the special zone, those underground organizations are under the jurisdiction of the Gelaohui, not only do they not charge protection fees, but they also maintain local order.”

"Speaking of which, it seems that Rakshasa has the same problem." Olga said with a frown.Zhao Shouhong smiled slightly. He used official power to help the Gelaohui develop. Now Zhang Jiexian and others have left Zhongchuan and gradually controlled the underground forces in the entire special zone.Now there is no real underworld in the Western Special Zone. They have become non-government auxiliary organizations that maintain order and collect intelligence outside of government agencies.

The current special zone has the most relaxed business rules in the world and the greatest support for businessmen.In order to help the national capitalists grow stronger, Zhao Shouhong even gave them various preferential conditions and imposed heavy restrictions on foreign businessmen, allowing them to grow rapidly.

Hearing the clerk's words, Wu Baixiang couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "When I first came here, I was very supportive of the SAR's policy of supporting businessmen. The only thing I was dissatisfied with was the minimum wage and the restrictions on working hours. But now I have figured it out. Workers If there is no spare money, there will be no purchasing power, so how can we talk about economic development. Without leisure time, they will have no possibility to shop, and who to sell things to. An effective cycle cannot be formed, and it is useless to produce more goods. Factories It will go bankrupt because of a backlog of products, and workers will rebel because they have no way out. In that case, it is not as solid and efficient as mutual benefit and common prosperity between labor and capital.”

Wu Baixiang is worthy of being a business tycoon of later generations. He figured out the significance of the SAR labor law just by thinking on his own. He is a genius.

Zhao Shouhong also chimed in: "Indeed, this is a virtuous cycle of the economy. Only when the wealth of the whole society is getting higher and higher, and the people are getting richer, can the development of factories and the prosperity of commerce be driven."

"Look at today's major powers, while desperately expanding production, the interests of workers cannot be guaranteed. If the purchasing power of the people cannot be increased accordingly, the products of factories will only be unsalable, and enterprises will naturally collapse. It is inevitable. It is precisely because of the periodic economic crisis that the Western Continent War, which consumes surplus wealth, will be born, and all countries will fall into the misery of long-term war." Zhao Shouhong's words stunned everyone present. They didn't expect Zhao Shouhong to be able to elevate social issues to the level of the country, and analyze them so thoroughly.

Chapter 7 The Supermarket Model

"I think you are definitely not an ordinary person, you should be an official." Wu Baixiang asked politely.

Zhao Shouhong smiled and said: "It doesn't matter whether I am an official, I believe you will not be prejudiced against me because of this. I am just expressing my thoughts on the future development of business, and in my opinion, Boss Wu's department store There is still room for improvement.”

Zhao Shouhong diverted his attention from the topic that businessmen were most concerned about, and it really succeeded.Wu Baixiang heard that there is still room for improvement, so he hurriedly asked: "If you have any good ideas, please tell me, I will definitely reward you generously."

Zhao Shouhong shook his head and said: "There is no need for compensation, as long as your business can grow bigger and become a retail giant in the world. If you open department stores abroad, earn money from foreigners, and earn more benefits for Hualando, I will Very happy."

"This is for sure, for sure." Wu Baixiang nodded, but his eyes never left Zhao Shouhong, waiting for his answer.Not only Wu Baixiang, but even Olga's attention was attracted.In Raksha country, she often heard about Zhao Shouhong. Even the shrewdest businessman in Raksha country was amazed by his creativity and business acumen. Today she finally had the opportunity to confirm this rumor.

Zhao Shouhong said with a smile: "If we emptied the entire department store, took the products out of the counter, and put them on open shelves. No one needs to sell them, and let everyone choose at will, so that people will have a greater desire to buy. Your sales can increase by at least [-]%."

Wu Baixiang was taken aback by Zhao Shouhong's theory, but then he thought of the problem: "But there will be thieves if there is no counter barrier, and how will customers pay?"

Zhao Shouhong pointed to the door and said, "You can set up a cash desk at the door, which is the only exit, and you have to pay there if you want to go out. As for the problem of thieves, it's easy to deal with, as long as you set up a bag storage outside, no one is allowed to bring money." Go in with your purse, and hire people to patrol the shelves, they can deter thieves, and they can also tally. This way you hire far fewer people and are more efficient, and of course in order to get customers to buy more things, you You can also have stores provide temporary baskets or trolleys where they can carry their goods, which I call a supermarket.”

Zhao Shouhong spoke out the supermarket model of later generations in one breath. What he said was just a general model, and Wu Baixiang had to perfect the specific details, but just these general structures had already made the other party nod repeatedly.

Olga also recognized the joint, and she exclaimed: "In this way, buyers will have a psychological hint that the goods are cheap, and they will be interested in choosing various products. This will greatly stimulate purchases and make them Stores are able to sell more goods."

"You're right. This is actually a psychological hint, as if these goods don't cost money. And the goods you choose by yourself can also make customers feel more at ease. This is more at ease than passively accepting the products handed over by the salesperson More, more efficient." Zhao Shouhong said with a smile.

"It's such a wonderful idea, I want to implement it immediately." Wu Baixiang said excitedly.

"Your department store has just opened. If you can't recover the cost if you close down and renovate now, your capital chain may be broken." Zhao Shouhong kindly reminded: "I think this is good. You use this department store to borrow money from the bank." , How about building another supermarket?"

Wu Baixiang shook his head and smiled wryly: "My department store has already been mortgaged, and I can't get another loan at all. If I rebuild a store, I don't have that much money."

Zhao Shouhong nodded and said: "Since you and I met by fate, I will give you some help." Zhao Shouhong found a piece of paper and brushed some words, then carefully folded the note and handed it to Wu Baixiang Top: "If you take this note to the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, you can get a low-interest loan of 100 million Chinese yuan without collateral. You and I chatted so speculatively today, this is the new supermarket that I support you." After speaking, Zhao Shouhong took Olga and left.

"One million? What a big deal, he is definitely an official." Wu Baixiang woke up from his shock when Zhao Shouhong walked away.He sighed, and hastily opened the note, only to see that it read: "The holder of this article is specially approved for a low-interest loan of 100 million Chinese yuan, the interest rate shall not exceed 100%, and the term shall not exceed five years. Guarantor: Zhao Shouhong"
