I opened a shopping mall in Xihuan

In the early morning of the next day, the rising sun fell on Pauline Street. Bread sellers and vegetable and fruit vendors pushed their carts along the sidewalk and hawked their goods. Although it was only early at eight o’clock, the rickshaw driver had already started a hard day’s work. Horses are in constant circulation.

In order to allow the three employees enough time to prepare, Youxia adjusted the business hours to nine o'clock every morning, so the glass doors of the grocery store are still closed.

Today is the fourth day of the opening of the new store. You Xia came over early in the morning, first moved the potted flowers that had been placed at the door for three days to the glass wall, and took out the silver moon staff to make them more prosperous with the help of growth magic. some.

After a while, the flower stands were covered with rose vines, and among the verdant green leaves were dotted with burnt yellow or pink-white flowers, which were extraordinarily vibrant.

Youxia put away his staff in satisfaction, and when he passed by the glass window, he happened to meet the eyes of the sisters of the rabbit family who were shopping inside.

The rabbit sisters smiled hastily at him, then put away their smiles and continued with their busy work.

You Xia can fully understand their busyness, because yesterday they received 150 guests, plus the number of guests exceeded [-] in the previous two days, so a total of two new categories were unlocked yesterday.

It would be fine if there are only two types of ordinary products, especially as it so happens that one of these two types is called "fashion accessories" and the other is called "wearable outerwear".

When You Xia bought the goods last night, he was almost hurt by the dozens of pages of gaudy decorations on the game store.

The page list of products seems to be endless. Whenever he thinks that there are no other styles, refreshing the next time will open up a new world.

There are more than 20 different styles of items for just one hair tie, plus hair clips, hair bands, necklaces, bracelets, earrings, and scarves, silk scarves, hats, watches, belts, etc. Each sub-category can be expanded into more than ten or twenty different styles. After unloading the goods, there were hundreds of small boxes piled up in the warehouse, which really dazzled him.

Therefore, the three employees who came over this morning and saw that the warehouse was full of new goods all broke down for a moment.

But when they opened the box and saw those fashionable and beautiful silk scarves and jewelry, the Rabbit sisters suddenly became in a better mood, and happily shopped. Muriel seemed to be the only one who collapsed.

Youxia pushed open the glass door and entered, and saw Muriel numbly holding a satin bowknot headband, memorizing the unit price on the price list, and there were more than a dozen different styles in the shopping basket at his hand. Hair ring.

However, this is just the beginning. The jewelry, hairpins and several baskets sorted out by the Rabbit sisters are placed on the ground.

You Xia felt a headache for him just looking at it, and went over to ask: "How is it, can you remember?"

Unexpectedly, Muriel replied: "It's okay, because I put the unit price of each commodity on it, so in fact, as long as I'm proficient, just seeing this thing, it will pop up in my mind." I’m just a little worried that the checkout will be slower when there are more customers and things are mixed.”

Youxia has also considered this point, people's energy is limited, and they can handle it when there are few customers. Once the number of customers increases, no matter how good Muriel's condition is, it will definitely be difficult to work until the afternoon.

If only there was a calculator to free Muriel from repetitive mental work.

As he thought about it, he recalled vaguely the time when he first started learning addition and subtraction in elementary school.

Suddenly, an idea popped up in his mind: there is no calculator, even if you want to make it, you can’t make it, but you can have an abacus!

You must know that before the appearance of Arabic numerals, the abacus was the primary calculation tool invented by their ancestors.

Although it is a little troublesome to make an impromptu calculation without a professional craftsman, he has two powerful magic teachers after all!

I believe that even mass production of such small and delicate wooden products as abacus is nothing more than a piece of cake in the eyes of the great magician.

Thinking of this method, Youxia immediately prepared to bring tools to seek help from August.

However, just as he turned around, the glass door was suddenly opened, and a short and strong man walked up to him, raised his head and asked, "Are you Mr. Youxia?"

You Xia nodded, looked down at the short man in front of him with a beard who looked a little rough, and responded: "Yes, you are?"

The man replied with a sonorous voice: "The leader of the dwarven caravan from Chand, Karnak."

It turned out to be a dwarf!

You Xia said politely: "It's a pleasure to meet you, what can you do with me?"

"I've taken a fancy to some of the goods in your store." Kanak said bluntly, he walked around to the shelf where the toiletries were placed, pointed to the toothbrush and toothpaste and said, "Shipping goods like this to our Changde, There will be a great market, although Rose City is prosperous enough, but you only set up shop in this one place, wasting too many opportunities to make a fortune."

Having accepted the mainland history course taught by the elf elders for many days, Youxia now has a general understanding of the distribution of races and countries on this continent.

As soon as Karnak mentioned "Chand", he remembered that this was a dwarven country famous for silk fabric manufacturing located on the middle continental plain.

He raised his eyebrows and asked, "So what you mean is that you want to buy goods from me, ship them to your country for sale, and be Xia Zhisen's agent in Changde?"

"That's right." Kanak nodded vigorously.

"But I don't know you," Youxia said lightly, "How do I know that you won't buy my goods and then sell them under your name at a high price to others."

"You are an insult to the character of our dwarves!" Kanak was a little angry, and raised his brows: "If you don't believe me, just go to the Dwarf Chamber of Commerce on Kumbrun Street and ask for my name. I, Kanak, are definitely a An honest and trustworthy businessman!"

"I would rather damage my own interests, and absolutely abide by the agreement with my partners. The reason why the dwarf caravans are unimpeded in various ethnic countries on the mainland is precisely because of their strict spirit of contract." Muriel suddenly Such a sentence came out, and then he smiled embarrassedly: "I saw this from his book collection when I was working for a certain adult."

"Exactly as he said, Your Excellency the Elf." Karnak agreed.

"Okay, but out of a cautious attitude, I will still go to the Chamber of Commerce to find out your name." You Xia apologized.

Kanak had a serious expression: "Go ahead, I can understand your thoughts."

After all, it was a big deal, and You Xia didn't want to let it go easily, so he said, "Can you tell me first, what goods do you want?"

"That's a lot." Kanak looked around, picked up a toothbrush first and asked, "If I want to wholesale a lot of products like this, how much discount can you give me?"

"That depends on how much you buy. Things like toothbrushes are not expensive in the first place, and they only sell for twelve coppers in my shop," Youxia said thoughtfully, "If you If you wholesale more than [-] pieces, I will probably give you a discount of two to three copper coins per piece, and if you wholesale [-] pieces at a time, then I may give you another two copper coins cheaper."

The dwarf nodded calmly, and tiptoed to pick up a bottle of shampoo in carved glass: "I want to buy [-] pieces of this kind of goods, how much discount can you give me?"

You Xia glanced at the price, and the shampoo he took was the most expensive one at 88 copper coins a bottle. It is difficult to sell such a product in bulk in the store. a few bottles.

If the dwarf merchant is really willing to buy more than [-] pieces of goods at a time, he will become rich overnight, and he can pay back the gold coins owed to Liyoumen.

You Xia recalled that the purchase price of shampoo in the mall was [-] coppers a bottle, no matter what he would earn money.

So after pretending to weigh it for a while, he said: "If you are sure to be the agent of our brand, for the sake of the friendship between our elves and dwarves, I can increase the discount and give you fifteen to twenty per bottle. A discount on copper coins."

Kanak nodded solemnly, said nothing, and continued to walk around the shelves.

On the way, he would occasionally ask about the purpose and purchase price of the items. After about half an hour, he finally ordered the first batch of purchases.

"[-] toothbrushes and toothpaste, [-] soaps, [-] towels, [-] golden bottles of shampoo and conditioner, [-] notebooks of different sizes, [-] toilet paper, um, temporarily That's all." Kanak said, "If it sells well, I will come back to buy other items."

She didn't expect her first big deal to be made so hastily since she opened the store, You Xia couldn't recover.

"I will pay you the deposit first, and we will sign a contract and pay for the transaction after you prepare the goods I want."

After speaking, Kanak took out his money bag, and gave Youxia a deposit of five gold coins. It seemed that he completely trusted this elf whom he had just met for the first time.

After the two merchants signed the deposit contract for the first order, Youxia sent the leader of the dwarf caravan to the door and said, "I will prepare all the goods you want before noon tomorrow, and you can bring your The caravan came to pick up the goods."

Kanak's expression relaxed a little: "Remember to send someone to inform me, I'm staying at the Red Feather Hotel next door."

You Xia smiled and agreed: "No problem."

Kanak left first, and Youxia stood at the door of the store and watched him enter the Red Feather Hotel, and then he was about to turn around and go back to the store. At this moment, a spacious and beautiful carriage suddenly stopped beside the street, just at his before.

The coachman in a straw hat opened the curtain of the front door, and Mrs. Erica, who was wearing a water-blue silk dress, stepped out of the carriage with her skirt lifted.

You Xia's eyes moved slightly, as if he could smell a big deal coming soon.

Just as he was about to raise his hand to say hello, the coachman helped several gorgeously dressed ladies and wives slowly get off the carriage.
