I'm playing tricks in Daqin

"I know it all. Unfortunately, it's too late. It's a done deal now."

"Hmph, to put it bluntly, it is uncertain whether it can steal the business of major firms. Your Majesty is a smart man who can always come up with new things, but new things are not popular every time."

"It's business hours, let's go in and have a look?"

Lin Qianru, who was borrowing money and bumping into walls everywhere, had nothing to do now, so she nodded and followed Li Wei into the Royal Department Store through the back door.

Li Weike, who came from later generations, knew that stampede incidents are easy to occur when supermarket discounts are discounted, so he sent a team of officers and soldiers to maintain order.

In this era, the deterrent force of the officers and soldiers is still great. At their request, the common people lined up and entered the Royal Department Store in an orderly manner. Once they entered, they screamed again and again.

Having lived so long, no one has ever seen such a scene.

Taking advantage of the emperor's privilege, Li Wei directly transformed a prisoner's residence into a Royal Department Store this time. This Royal Department Store is the same as Li Wei's previous low-cost housing plan. It abides by a principle and uses every inch of land as much as possible.

The craftsmanship in the palace is extraordinary, but the opening of the Royal Department Store was too hasty, and it was a small miracle that it could be transformed into this in one day.

Not only are the houses in the courtyard divided into small rooms by wooden boards, but also temporary wooden houses were built in the yard. The original rockery was removed, all the trees and flowers were leveled, and even the pond was drained and covered with wooden boards. Into a piece of small shop.

Even the roof was frantically transformed into a temporary warehouse. When the goods below were sold out, the guys on the roof would use ropes to bring the goods down from the roof.

"This, this is the Royal Department Store?"

Lin Qianru asked in shock.

Since the word "royalty" is on it, it represents the majesty and majesty of the royal family, but Lin Qianru really can't see where she doesn't lose the face of the royal family.

Li Wei didn't feel ashamed at all, and said cheerfully: "That's right, this is the Royal Department Store, the first Royal Department Store in Chang'an City!"

Everyone who came in was the same as Lin Qianru, who disliked the rough interior decoration of the Royal Department Store, seeing that their attention was quickly attracted by the dazzling array of products.

As the leaflet says, the Royal Department Store has everything you need, with all kinds of goods.

The populous city of Chang'an is a cornucopia. As long as any business grows big, it can make a lot of money. The business scope of major companies naturally covers all commodities. Chen Yuzhou led the emperor to "send warmth"

Under the banner of the company, go to the major stores to buy goods frantically, not only in large quantities, but also in complete varieties.

These days, not to mention taxis and buses, there are not even rickshaws, and horses are not something ordinary people can afford. Traveling basically depends on walking, and the scope of activities of ordinary people is very limited.

Every time I go shopping, I have to travel to many places, and even men find it hard. Now that there is a Royal Department Store where you can buy everything at once, the eyes of the people are red. Thinking of the [-]% discount on the whole site, there is a panic buying frenzy.

Shopping is a woman's nature. After shopping for a while, Lin Qianru couldn't help but bought a gold hairpin when she saw that the Royal Department Store also had a jewelry store.

After receiving the receipt, Lin Qianru asked suspiciously, "What is this?"

"This is a shopping receipt, miss, don't you see there is a counter on the east side? It's called the cash register, take the receipt to pay there, the cashier will give you a payment receipt, put the payment receipt Give it to me, and you can take this gold hairpin away."

"Not giving you money directly?"

"No, I don't accept it, it's a rule, and, miss, only silver dollars are used here, not silver taels."

After paying according to this method, after taking the goods, the sales boss smiled and said: "Miss, you have to collect this receipt, there is no reason to return it within seven days, if there is any problem within one year, the warranty guarantee retreat."

"Oh."

The novel shopping method made Lin Qianru, a strong financial woman, a little dazed. She collected the receipt, thought about it, and immediately understood the benefits of this payment method, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is indeed very human. If you are in business, Tao Zhugong Nothing compares to you."

Li Wei, who plagiarized the sales model of later generations, said shamelessly: "Too smart is often a pain."

While the two were talking, there was a loud noise in front of them.

At this time, Li Dongzhu was pulling a silk shop guy, the boss obviously didn't want to go with him, struggling desperately.

"Big guy, comment! He used to be a guy in my store, but now he is here and refuses to go back with me. How can there be such a reason?"

"I'm working as a buddy here now, and I can get one cent of the sales volume of the day every day, why should I go back to suffer with you!"

A penny doesn't seem like much, but silk and satin are expensive commodities. Judging from the current booming sales situation, a penny of sales is by no means a small amount for ordinary people.

"Bastard! You have the guts to say it! We signed a contract before. You will be my apprentice. After you complete your studies, you will have to work for three years. You just became an apprentice this year, so you have to work for three years!"

Every era has its own rules. In this era, if an apprentice goes out to work for his boss for nothing, it can be regarded as deducting the tuition fee. It is a matter of course, and the behavior of the boy is immediately shamed by everyone.

"No, I won't go back! I still want to make money here, honor my mother, and save money to marry a wife!"

"You bastard, there is a contract, even if I beat you to death, the government doesn't care! You can't go back! If you don't go back, I'll beat you!"

I have a business and can't do it, but the boy can make a lot of money without him. Li Dongzhu is not going well in his heart, and now the boy dares to contradict him, which makes him even more angry.

Seeing that the boy still refused to obediently go with him, Dongzhu Li picked up the ruler for measuring silk and was about to beat him, but before the ruler fell, a figure suddenly appeared and kicked him to the ground.

"It's unreasonable, how dare you... Emperor..."

After being glared at by Li Wei, Dongzhu Li realized that the emperor was leaving the palace in a low suit, so he hurriedly shut up.

"Do you know where this is? The Royal Department Store! Do you know what the Royal Department Store means? This is the emperor's business. This little guy is working for the emperor. Even the emperor's people, you can fight as you please, okay Be bold!"

Beating a dog depends on the owner, let alone a boy, even if it is a dog, as long as it belongs to the emperor, no one dares to touch him. When the emperor scolded him face to face, Li Dongzhu was so frightened that he knelt down and kowtowed for mercy.

The boy who was almost beaten asked in disbelief, "Master, I, am I the emperor's man?"

"Nonsense, if you work in the Royal Department Store, you are working for the emperor."

Having lived such a big life, the little boy dared not even dream that he could serve the emperor one day, and a huge sense of honor filled his whole body.

"Not only you, but all the employees in the Royal Department Store are the emperor's people. You must work hard and don't lose the emperor's face!"

Avenging justice for the people and abolishing the bad government have greatly increased Li Wei's reputation among the people. Upon hearing this, the young man said proudly: "Master, don't worry, even if I die, I will not lose the emperor's face! Dear guests!" All the officials come and take a look, this is the emperor's business, there are absolutely no fakes, high quality and low price, you will regret it if you don't buy it!"

Looking at the guys around who seemed to have been beaten with chicken blood, Lin Qianru smiled wryly: "In Chang'an City, there is no shop where the guys are more energetic than those in the Royal Department Store."

"This is called subjective initiative. Every guy has a commission for selling things. They don't take dead wages. The more they sell, the more they earn. Naturally, they sell desperately. With the royal name, no fakes dare to flow here After becoming famous, people are naturally willing to come here to buy."

Just as Lin Qianru was about to speak, she saw a giant poster, "Buy a ticket?"

"That's right, the Royal Department Store issues a unique commercial ticket, buy eight and get two free, that is, you buy a commercial ticket for eight silver dollars, but you actually get a commercial ticket for ten silver dollars, and there are two extra silver dollars out of thin air. If you buy any commodity in the Royal Department Store, if you hold it for a full month, you can also return the commercial certificate into silver dollars, but the gifted silver dollars will not be given.”

"It's similar to a bank note, but there are more restrictions. You are too ruthless, don't you leave any way of life for the bank?"

Lin Qianru quickly came to her senses and asked viciously.

Heshengchang, the largest bank, was short of funds, and no one could guarantee whether the other banks had money. After a day of deliberation, the entire bank industry was caught in a run.

Thieves are rampant on the streets, and it is too unsafe to keep money at home, which is easy to cause disasters, but it can be stored in a bank, and it is afraid that the bank will go bankrupt.

At this time, the Royal Department Store launched commercial tickets, and exchanged silver for commercial tickets. Not only could you buy various commodities at any time, but also increased the number of products for nothing, and they could be refunded into silver dollars. There must be countless people coming to buy commercial tickets.

After all, although silver dollars are good, they cannot be eaten or drank. Silver dollars are meaningful only when they are exchanged for various commodities. From this perspective, it makes no difference whether you are holding silver dollars or commercial bills.

Chapter 6 It's Too Late

As for reputation, the word "Royal" in front of the Royal Department Store represents the supreme emperor. I am afraid that no commoner will doubt the extremely prestigious Li Wei.

"It's you who are looking for death. I am the Ninth Five-Year Lord. You have provoked me many times, why don't you let me fight back?"

"Yes, but in this way, do you still have profits?"

"I told you a long time ago that I do business not for money, and the Royal Department Store is not for making money, but for launching commercial tickets. It is just a matter of sucking up the bank's savings bank. The real purpose is to Get a lot of money in a short period of time, promote my real estate project, and launch a fatal blow to your bank."

Hearing Li Wei's words, Lin Qianru staggered and almost fell to the ground. She knew that now the general trend was over, and the Qianzhuang Alliance was powerless.

The ridiculous thing is that just yesterday, the banks thought they had slapped Li Wei in the face twice, and they already had the chance to win. In just one day, they changed their offense and defense.

"Your Majesty, is there really no way out for the Qianzhuang? If all the Qianzhuang goes bankrupt, the economy of Daqin will also fall into chaos. The Qianzhuang cannot live without it!"

"I have already given you a way out, but you refused to accept it."

Before Li Wei proposed that various banks take shares in the Royal Bank and accept the supervision of the Royal Bank, Lin Qianru just regarded it as nonsense, but now, this is the last straw.

"The girl retire."

After leaving such a sentence, Lin Qianru left in a hurry.

Turning his hands into clouds and turning his hands into rain made Li Wei feel very happy. Just as he was about to leave, Chen Yuzhou suddenly said, "Your Majesty, he has followed all the way."

"Your surname is Li, right? What are you doing with me?"

Dongzhu Li didn't dare to interrupt Li Wei and Lin Qianru's conversation, so he could only follow along. When Li Wei spoke, he knelt on the ground.

"Your Majesty! Yesterday Xiaomin was deceived by lard, and he dared to disrespect His Majesty. Xiaomin knew his mistake. Please forgive him this time. Xiaomin is willing to reopen!"

The Royal Department Store is terrible. Even if it opens its own business, a lot of business on the ground will be taken away. If it insists on going on strike, it will take a few days for it to reopen and there will be no business left.

The impact of the emergence of the Royal Department Store on various stores is just like the impact of the emergence of e-commerce on physical stores in later generations. Although it will not cause major stores to close down, it will definitely cause a significant reduction in turnover.

Li Dongzhu was aware of this, so he knelt down and begged for mercy.

"When you had the upper hand, you were majestic and majestic. Even I, the king of a country, dared to provoke you and make me bow your head. Now that you are at a disadvantage, let me spare you. Is there such a cheap thing in this world?"

"Your Majesty, Cao Min knew that he was wrong. Cao Min is willing to atone for his sins. He is willing to offer 5 taels of silver to make amends. I just ask His Majesty to allow Cao Min to rent a shop in the Royal Department Store."

Hearing this, Li Wei immediately became interested. He didn't expect this product to have such a keen business sense, and he saw the business opportunity of the Royal Department Store at a glance.

"15 taels, I can let you reopen the business regardless of the past."

"Your Majesty, it's not that the grass-roots are reluctant, the grass-people really can't afford so much."

"Pay a down payment of 5 taels first, and pay the rest in installments."

"Your Majesty, even if it is paid in installments, Caomin can't afford it."

"Remember what I said to the boy before?"

"Your Majesty said that if you work as a clerk in the Royal Department Store, you are His Majesty's man. Could it be that Cao Min can be His Majesty's man if you do business in the Royal Department Store?"

"You think too much, I look down on you, but I can guarantee that no official dares to come to the Royal Department Store to exploit businessmen."

Hearing this, Li Dongzhu's eyes lit up immediately. Chang'an city officials were walking everywhere, and there were as many nobles as dogs. They wanted to expand the business and continued to look for backers. In this world, the emperor is the biggest backer.

However, if you spend an extra 5 taels, you can let the emperor be your backer. It is still a one-time buyout, which is cheaper than paying profits monthly for a lifetime.

"Cao Min agrees! Thank you, Your Majesty, Your Majesty is really the best emperor in the world! Cao Min is willing to go through fire and water for His Majesty, and will do anything!"

Proprietor Li is also a real person, his head thumped, and Li Wei didn't want the first guy who took refuge in him to die like this, so he waved him down to prepare to open a new store in the Royal Department Store.

Big businessmen are the most savvy group of people in every era. What Li Dongzhu can see, other big businessmen can naturally see.

Li Wei, who purposely didn't return to the palace, put down tables and chairs in the school grounds. Sure enough, merchants came in an endless stream, completely opposite to yesterday's attitude. They all knelt down and begged for mercy.

No agriculture is unstable, no business is not rich, as far as the country is concerned, there must be no businessmen. If these big businessmen are wiped out, it will inevitably cause economic turmoil. Li Wei followed the same pattern. He fined them money and agreed to let them enter the Royal Department Store.

The Royal Department Store is an innovation in the commercial field, but it has no technical content. Any big businessman can copy it. With a large amount of funds, using the emperor's privilege, Li Wei can make the Royal Department Store bloom everywhere in Chang'an City, so that other businessmen cannot copy department stores. mall pattern.

As for the rest of the country, Li Wei did not intend to rob it. Even the emperor would not be able to control every corner of the empire. Making money is for strengthening the country, not just for making money.

Merchants are afraid of officials because they need their protection. If the officials are not happy, they will not be able to do business.

But if he continues to insist on the strike, he will not be able to survive, not to mention that if he enters the Royal Department Store, he will be protected by the imperial power and will not be afraid of extortion by officials.

As soon as the Royal Department Store came out, the market strike became a joke. No lower than Li Wei's bow, it led to a run on the bank, and the bank alliance was completely panicked.

In the Heshengchang meeting hall, Zhuang Yunxiao, who had caused a catastrophe, had lost his former demeanor, sitting aside with his head bowed.

After hearing Lin Qianru tell about Li Wei's real estate project, the bank owners who were originally low in morale were completely desperate.

"It's over, it's really over this time, even if we get through this hurdle, our lending business will be greatly affected."

"It's more than a big impact. I'm afraid there will be no business in the future. I heard from several big businessmen that they will have to pay the emperor every month in the future, and the common people will buy their money into commercial tickets. I'm afraid the storage business will be the same. I can't do it anymore."

As soon as he slapped the table, a bank owner scolded angrily: "What future do you still have to talk about? Is there a future? You can't pass this level. In order to make amends to the emperor, several big customers in my bank have to I took out a lot of money, and all of them wanted to take it away with red eyes. My bank didn’t store much silver at first, but now I can’t afford it at all! Miss Lin, He Shengchang is the leader in the bank industry. At this time, you Please save us!"

"That's right, I can't make it through either. The depositors said that if they don't have any money tomorrow, they will be robbed."

"I only have more than 3000 taels in my treasury, so I can get through today, and there will be no silver to exchange tomorrow. What should I do? Miss Lin, you can't just ignore death!"

Hearing the entreaties of all the proprietors of the bank, Lin Qianru couldn't help feeling angry, "I begged many of you yesterday. If He Shengchang had money, would I beg you?"

"Miss Lin, Heshengchang's business is so big that it won't last a day?"

"That's right, I'm afraid He Shengchang didn't deliberately play tricks, so he wouldn't save him if he died?"

"The bank's business plate is so big, can He Shengchang eat it all?"

"We, Heshengchang, have money, but it's all in various places, and we can't transport it in a short time. Now that there are so many people in the main office and branch offices, it's really a waste. How can we have spare money to support you?"

Deciding to challenge Li Wei, He Shengchang began to secretly transfer a large amount of money to other places. The money lost by Zhuang Yunxiao has already emptied the bank. Now the depositors are rushing for the money, and He Shengchang is also unable to protect himself.

The most important thing for a bank is its reputation. People can't exchange it immediately after taking a deposit receipt. Even if they exchange it in full after a few days, they will not dare to do business with this bank in the future.

If they can't survive this hurdle, Heshengchang may also close its doors and go out of business.

Lin Qianru had no choice, and all the clubs sighed. Everyone could survive the first day of the run, but what about the second and third days?

As time goes on, more and more banks will fail.

"Everyone, I have another idea."
