I opened a shopping mall in Xihuan

Compared with other stores in Xiazhisen, the customer flow of the luxury store after its opening is really sluggish. On the one hand, it is because the products in the store are too expensive, and on the other hand, it is affected by the seasons.

Near the end of December, most parts of the central and western continents have entered the midwinter, and Bayswater, the capital city of Sealand in the north, was covered by heavy snow early. For safety reasons, few merchants would choose Traveling abroad at this time, so even the city of Ross, known as the "paradise of businessmen", has fallen into the trough of the year's market at this time.

Without foreign merchants, relying solely on the purchasing power of local people, the luxury goods that can be sold are limited after all. After a week of operation, basically selling three to five items a day is considered very good. More often, only one transaction can be made in a day. For one or two deals, it is normal for the salespersons to wait all morning and not have their turn to receive customers.

It hasn't been long since the opening, so You Xia can't tell whether the current flow of customers in the luxury store is normal. After all, no matter how little things are sold, if he only sells one cheapest watch a day, he can still have ten A few gold coins of profit.

From the perspective of turnover alone, the business of this store should be considered very good. However, whenever he walks into the store, he usually only sees a few salespersons standing in a daze, or sitting on chairs. Chatting on the Internet, I can't see half of the guests. It's really deserted.

Considering the generally declining turnover of several other stores, You Xia knew in his heart that this was an unavoidable phenomenon, and he could only wait for the re-circulation of business routes in the spring of next year to see if the situation would change.

Estimating that it would be a long time before the luxury store sold [-] items to unlock new categories, You Xia put it aside for the time being, and started planning the opening of the hotel instead.

Again, there are few visitors from other places at this time, which is not suitable for the opening of the hotel. However, his staff has been recruited, the training has been in place, the contract has been signed, and wages are paid anyway, and the opening of the hotel one day earlier can also make money a day earlier .

However, if the hotel is to open, its marketing method is a thorny issue. The publicity methods such as human-shaped signboards, full discounts, and leaflets that other stores have used are not feasible in hotel marketing, even if he owns them in the entire Los Angeles city. It's not much use to plaster the streets and alleys with opening posters.

To put it bluntly, anyone who can afford to live in his hotel must have some family background. Such a person must have his own house in Los Angeles. Who would stay in his comfortable big house in cold weather? , ran out to spend money to stay in a hotel?

You Xia pondered for a long time, and felt that if he wanted to publicize the hotel's reputation now, he had to hold a big event, a feast for all potential customers to experience the benefits of the hotel.

In the end, he decided to hold a dinner on the night before the opening, inviting all the nobles, officials and business celebrities in Los Angeles to attend, and the banquet was held in the hotel lobby.

Of course, based on his own status, he would definitely not be able to invite many people, so he thought it would be best to invite the Lord Hero, so that for his sake, most of the nobles in the city would agree to attend the banquet.

But whether City Lord Hero could invite him over, he couldn't guarantee it. After thinking for a long time, Youxia turned his mind on his elders.

As far as he knows, the Elf King returned to the Yingdeng Forest a few days ago, and now the Great Elder Su Manlan is managing the new clan land.

You Xia thought that there was no need for the First Elder to do anything special, as long as she agreed to show up and use her identity to invite the City Lord over.

After making up his mind, You Xia went to the tribe's place outside the city ahead of time. In order to please the elders, he even specially brought the perfume "Wonderful Trail" that he had previously selected for the Great Elder.

·

No matter how the outside world changes, the heart of Booyenland is always warm as spring.

When You Xia found the Great Elder, the other party was dealing with affairs in the castle study where the Elf King used to stay.

Yolanda Yomo often used perfume in his study before, and until now, there is still a hint of "ink" aroma in the air.

After a simple greeting, Youxia sent out the perfume immediately, and explained: "I didn't give you the perfume before because there was no suitable scent for you. After I found a suitable one, you haven't come here yet. I leave it to you." I have been holding this bottle of 'Wonderful Trail' for a long time, and now I can finally give it away."

Su Manlan picked up the perfume he put on the desk and looked at the candlelight. The perfume bottle of "Wizard" was in the shape of a drop, and it was filled with golden liquid, which shone with moving brilliance in the light, which was very beautiful.

"Thank you for the perfume, I like it very much." She put away the perfume, and then asked: "But I seem to have heard that you gave your Majesty another bottle later?"

You Xia: "..." There is no need to compare!

Seeing the cub's embarrassing appearance, Su Manlan thoughtfully changed the subject and said, "Okay, I won't tease you, you are so busy every day, coming here today should not be as simple as giving me perfume, right?"

You Xia nodded, and truthfully stated his reason for coming: "My hotel in the city will open in four days. I will hold an opening dinner the night before the opening. Can I invite you to attend?"

"Of course." Su Manlan readily agreed.

You Xia was a little surprised. Although he guessed that the elder who doted on the cub would not refuse, he did not expect that the other party would agree so without thinking.

Yue Mo saw what he was thinking, and Su Manlan asked with a smile: "Do I need to bring a few more people from my tribe to support you?"

Well, it turned out that he had seen through his little thoughts.

You Xia smiled embarrassedly: "It would be better if we could bring more people, don't worry, I will treat you well."

·

You Xia didn't have any experience in organizing banquets, but fortunately, the hotel management he hired had an expert who was good at handling these matters.

When Pearl was a housekeeper, he had arranged many banquets held in the Viscount's Mansion, and he was very familiar with the process of holding dinner parties. Youxia thought that professional matters should be handed over to professional people, so he simply planned and arranged all the relevant dinner parties. He gave the full authority to make arrangements, and he was only responsible for writing and sending the invitation letter, and then occasionally asked about the progress of the banquet preparations and made some suggestions.

In this way, time passed quickly in the busyness, and it didn't take long for the opening dinner to be held.

In the afternoon of that day, the area from the front of the hotel to the border of the square was completely surrounded by security with green ribbons. This area was completely cleared and used to park the carriages of the guests later.

A circular arch covered with flowers was placed at the entrance of the hotel, a red carpet was laid at the entrance, and it continued into the banquet hall—these were all suggested by Youxia, although the arrangement was a bit like a wedding ceremony, but what? As for the relationship, the most important thing is to impress everyone.

As the time for the banquet got closer, the invited guests arrived in carriages one after another, and the open space in front of the hotel was gradually filled with luxurious carriages.

When the first batch of guests appeared in the banquet hall, the waiters in the catering department seemed to have received some kind of signal, and pushed out the dining carts one by one, and neatly placed the fresh meals made in the kitchen on the long bench in the dining area. On the table, in addition to milk tea and fruit drinks that women love, alcohol that is expensive in hot pot restaurants is also brought out on a tray by a waiter in a black suit.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Youxia also changed into a formal suit designed by her own clothing store, and Pearl, who was also wearing a suit, went to the door to greet the guests.

"Mr. Youxia!"

As soon as he reached the door, he heard a familiar bright voice. He raised his head and looked aside, and saw Mrs. Lucia in a royal blue dress and long skirt walking slowly with her housekeeper.

"Good evening, Mrs. Lucia!" You Xia greeted her.

"Good evening!" Mrs. Lucia walked through the flower arch with her skirt on, and said with a smile, "Your arrangement here is really beautiful, I like this flower arrangement!"

"Thank you for your approval." You Xia smiled, and then he noticed the pale face of the other party, and reminded him intimately: "Hurry up and enter the banquet hall, there are many acquaintances of yours waiting for you."

In order to look beautiful, Mrs. Lucia did wear less clothes, and it was not convenient to exchange greetings at this time, so she said "thank you" and walked into the hotel.

Not long after she entered, the Viscountess Froude also came here with her maid.

Compared with Mrs. Lucia, Viscountess Flood is much more, not only wearing a wool coat on the outside, but also a thick and airtight dress inside.

After she came over, she first explained to You Xia: "The Viscount got sick the day before yesterday, and he is still lying in bed and can't get up, so I can only come here to attend the banquet alone."

"It's an honor for you to come here." You Xia greeted politely, and when she lowered her head, she happened to see that the necklace worn by the Viscountess was the flagship item "Beautiful Dreamland" in her luxury store, and she praised: "This necklace is perfect for you."

"Oh, thank you for your compliment." The Viscountess smiled decently.

Immediately after Viscountess Floyd came the family of Treasurer Jason Cade.

This family can be regarded as old acquaintances. Youxia personally received them and accompanied them into the banquet hall. On the way, Xiuqi Cade rolled up his sleeves, raised his eyebrows and said, "Look, I'm wearing what?"

"I don't need to look at it to know, is it 'Navigator'?" Having said that, You Xia still took a look at his watch with dignity, and it was indeed a "Navigator" worth 120 gold coins.

Because the price of this watch is too expensive, the store has only sold this one so far. You Xia is still very impressed with the name on the register.

After sending the financial officer's family inside, he then returned to the door.

Outside the door, Pearl was leading a few well-dressed greeters to lead the way for the visitors. He was wearing a white formal suit today, his short flaxen hair was neatly combed, and his manners and speech were charmingly elegant.

The manager's handsome face and those sunny blue eyes are enough to leave the best first impression on every visitor received by him.

Youxia felt that she didn't need to be here, as Pearl could perfectly complete the work of welcoming guests by herself.

However, considering that the city lord and his elders would come later, he stayed at the door and waited.

In any case, as a wood elf, his charm is no worse than Pearl!
