I opened a mall in ancient times

Luo Chaochao came to visit with gifts prepared in advance.

Instead of buying a carriage, he asked his employees to rent a carriage and a driver from a car rental company in Kangzhou City. He didn't bring so many servants with him, but went with Lu Juanchi.

He just planned to take a look to see what Lu Mingcheng wanted to do, and he didn't plan to stay there any longer.

As expected of a big chaebol, the Lu family has a lot of money, so they put their store in the busiest and busiest place in Kangzhou City. This place has the most rich people and a lot of traffic, so it is the most suitable place for doing business.

This store is still a small three-story building with a single floor area of ​​more than 500 square meters. It is possible to shine in from the outside, revealing the fabric inside on the first floor.These materials are all sent from the south. It is said that they are the latest cloth in the south. Because of this gimmick, many people in Kangzhou City have become interested. It is impossible to compete with Luo Chao Chao.

In modern times, anyone can use glass. It is a very normal decoration material, and the price is also cheap, and it can be seen everywhere.

But now there is no mass-produced glass, only natural colored glaze. The price of this kind of natural colored glaze is extremely expensive. It is even more difficult to find such a large piece of colored glaze. It is hard to find even the royal family. It's the Lu family.

But the Lu family was rich and powerful and their ears found it. Wei Taiwei said that the Lu family was powerful, and it was not groundless that he was a little confused about his own position.

Who would pay so much for a store?

With so much money, it is better to buy more goods, but the Lu family actually did this.

The other party must be referring to Luo Chaochao's decoration. In order to pursue an attitude of "we are indeed very expensive", they reluctantly used a rather expensive large piece of colored glaze, just to make the store brighter and look classy.

And the Lu family's direct use of Liuli in such a generous way is obviously a waste of money, and there is another meaning that everyone knows well.

They want to compete with Luo Chao.

To this end, they have spent a lot of money.

The glass in Keluo Chaochao is not only cheap but also anti-collision. You can buy good-quality bullet-proof glass for a few thousand dollars, but here,... that is really thousands of taels of money spent.

In addition, the decorations, calligraphy and paintings in the store are also quite precious antiques, even the shelves where the fabrics are placed are made of huanghuali wood, every corner and every detail is filled with [rich], [noble] , [luxury] a few words, let these rich people enjoy the supreme VIP treatment they deserve.

In fact, the idea of ​​the Lu family is also very simple. Luo Chaoxi can use so many colored glazes to decorate, and all the customers he attracts are rich people. They say that they target ordinary people, but they are actually dealing with rich people.

That being the case, then he will bloom both up and down, not only the rich, but even the ordinary people's market.

Since they want to rob, they should do better than Luo Chaochao, at least the location and decoration should be better than Luo Chaochao's, so that everyone can understand that their Lu family is the real everyone.

This set is very competitive in the south and the capital city. After all, there are really many rich people there. Where there are a lot of rich people, there will be comparisons. Whoever uses better and more novel things will be favored more. .

But this is not so effective in Connecticut City. It doesn't sound good, but Connecticut City has never cared so much about the enjoyment of the rich. After all, this side... is rough.

The clothes and accessories in the south are beautiful, light and good-looking, but the climate here in Connecticut City is doomed that these clothes can only be worn for a few months, and they have to be wrapped thickly for the rest of the time.

What they care about is more practical.

It’s good-looking, useful, and privileged, but it’s a bit unrealistic for you to make it so fancy. If you make it so fancy, it’s better to improve the quality, which is high quality and low price.

And the good things... Isn't Luo Chaochao's store enough?

Isn't novelty enough?

The only thing that excites the people of Kangzhou City is probably the style that is said to be popular in the south, and they also want to see what is popular in the south now.

Especially girls.

Girls will pursue beautiful things, not to mention that this is the Lu family's shop, and the Lu family is the most powerful fabric merchant in the south.

Unlike Luo Chaoxi who only had so much money at the beginning, since they want to fight Luo Chaoxi, they have to use the best and come here directly, but...

Luo Chaochao's gaze fell on the signboard at the door.

As low as [-] Wen,... Is this a business for ordinary people?

But you can’t open a store here for ordinary people’s business. You have to go to the county below. After all, ordinary people don’t come here at all. Any shop opened here will default to the business of nobles.

Only the rich and rich men come here to buy things.

And it is impossible for these two kinds of people to buy such cheap linen. As for the expensive ones, it depends on whether the cloth brought out by the other party can make them

One is that rich people will not buy linen materials that lose their status to them, and the other is that the servants who can come out to purchase supplies for the government are ridiculous and will not buy such cheap things for the master’s family, even the rich family’s Maids don't know how to wear linen either, and only the lowest kind of maids and servants buy cheap cloth.

But this kind of people will never come to this place, because everyone knows that the things in this place are too expensive, and they can't afford them at all.

The other party put this sign at the door, which can only be said to be counterproductive.

Is this Lu family drifting away, and they don't know what market research is?

Open a store in an inappropriate place, even if all the configurations are top-notch, no one will come to your door.

The Lu family is really rich, and the money is wasted on him.

Luo Chaoxi got off the carriage, and Lu Juanchi followed, and stood nearby with the gift he brought, and said with emotion, "When will I be as rich as him?"

He is indeed rich now, but he will continue to invest in new industries when he earns money, open new branches, find new franchise stores, if any accidents cause the capital chain to break, Luo Chaochao will be stretched If you are not careful, you may lose everything.

But the Lu family was able to spend tens of thousands of taels of silver to fight Luo Chaoxi because of their anger.

It has to be said that Luo Chaochao was really moved by the other party's tireless dedication to death, and was very envious.

He also wanted to spend so much money so willfully to compete with others.

"Hurry up, go out when you win him your reputation." Lu Juanchi said, "Let's go, it's almost time."

Their place is only a few minutes away from the Lu family's shop. They came late, and the outside was already full of carriages. In front of their carriages were all luxurious carriages decorated by rich people. The ordinary ones rented by Luo Chaochao The carriage was simply out of place in it.

Ashamed to say, Luo Chaochao not only did not buy a house, but also did not buy a carriage.

This is simply an anomaly in the eyes of other wealthy people in Connecticut City.

If you have money, you don’t buy a house or a car. If you’re not interested in women, you don’t go out to play. It’s like doing business every day. When you’re not doing business, you don’t know what to do. You don’t have to do it even if you want to make money. to such an extent.

Weird.

The ugly duckling who got into the swans let Lu Juanchi see if there was anything wrong with him, and then he and Lu Juanchi went to Lu's cloth house. There was a circle of people around the cloth house, and the specially hired lion dance team was about to start , Luo Chaoxi hurriedly led the people inside, so as not to get in the way at the door.

There are quite a lot of people here, and Luo Chaoxi saw many familiar people inside. They were all regular customers who had bought things here before.

There are not many people in the store today because of this, everyone has come to Lujiabu to buy things.

But Luo Chaoxi was relieved that the group of customers Luo Chaoxi was most familiar with and the most powerful group of people in Kangzhou City did not come.

Presumably to avoid suspicion.

Not to avoid the suspicion of Luo Chao Chao, but to the Lu family.

Because of the incident with Lu Liang before, the Lu family is no longer worthy of currying favor as before. Although it is not clear whether His Majesty will attack the Lu family because of this incident, it is a certainty that the Lu family will not go smoothly in the future. thing.

For various reasons, they didn't come here, just to distance themselves from the Lu family.

But not everyone has this kind of political sensitivity. They just think that people from the Lu family are here. Since they invited themselves, they should go and have a look. It can be regarded as giving the Lu family face.

Luo Chaochao himself thinks that the Lu family is sick, but it doesn't mean that other people in Kangzhou City think that the Lu family is also sick.

After all, the other party was from the Lu family, a behemoth worthy of the name in the entire South, and even the entire Sheng Kingdom.

He sent invitations to the dignitaries in Kangzhou City, and these dignitaries didn't mind coming to support him and make his first day of opening look better.

So on the first day of opening, this store gathered more than half of the dignitaries in the entire Kangzhou City.

Luo Chao Chao was not surprised either.

Originally, Luo Chaochao planned to bring Heishan, but Lu Juanchi volunteered to come with him, so Luo Chaochao also asked Lu Juanchi to come with him.

Originally, he thought that the system was in his own sea of ​​consciousness, and there was no need to follow him out alone, but Lu Juanchi insisted, so he simply let someone follow him out.

Luo Chaochao simply thought that the other party was bored, and wanted to go out for a stroll.

During the busy period of Luo Chaochao, the presence of the system was very low.He knew that Luo Chaochao was busy during this time, so he took the initiative to take care of all the problems of the store in the real plane.

Luo Chaochao was also very relieved to hand it over to the system.

Whether it is the shopping mall that Longlingyun said is cooperating with the underworld, the anomaly department, or his storefront, there is nothing that must be dealt with by him, so Luo Chaochao can leave the matter to the system and temporarily leave all Focus on this.

Lu Mingcheng had long told the people outside to report to the inside when they saw Luo Chaochao. The waiter who was welcoming guests at the door saw Luo Chaochao walking towards the end of the road, and immediately told the other people in the store, and walked away very attentively. After a few steps, he walked towards Luo Chaoxi and the others.

"Boss Luo, you are finally here, our boss has been waiting for you."

Luo Chaoxi knew that the other party must have invited him on purpose, and maybe he had made something to deliberately wait for him to take the bait.

The other guests who came earlier didn't see these children being so attentive, and even walked out of the door to greet them

"Where's Boss Lu?"

"Our boss is in the store. It just opened today. There are too many customers in the store. The boss is busy entertaining them, so there is no way to pick you up in person."

This is clearly to show off that after the opening of their store, the rich people in Kangzhou City will not go to Luo Chaochao's store to show off here.

"It's rare to come to a different shop. It's natural for everyone to be curious. When the freshness wears off, everyone will naturally return to their daily lives."

The mistress who came to pick up Luo Chaoxi froze for a moment, and then put on a flattering smile again, "Look at how busy I am, Boss Rong, let me go in with you, the sun is so bright outside, I should have sunstroke."

If there is no quarrel, then let's not quarrel, anyway, he is just a small guy, if he really wants to quarrel, he will let the owner and shopkeeper in the store quarrel, and I, a little shrimp, will not get involved here.

Xiao Er led the two of them to the door, and when the Xiao Er who replaced him at the door saw Luo Chaochao coming, Xiao Er, who had been greeted a long time ago, ran over immediately, took the post in Luo Chaochao's hand, and shouted Said: "Nine Waters Firm! Luo Chaochao, Boss Luo is here—"

As soon as his voice came out, the whole store was quiet for a moment, and the bustling scene suddenly became a little quieter. For a while, everyone could only hear the lively beating of gongs and drums outside.

The lion dance team invited for the opening danced to the rhythm of the music, and the passers-by who came to watch the lion dance burst into applause.

It was so lively outside, but the inside of the cloth village was very quiet. Those who knew Luo Chaochao and those who didn't knew Luo Chaochao all looked over subconsciously.

Everyone knows that Luo Chaochao has been engaged in the fabric business recently, and it is doing very well. Everyone buys fabrics in his store, and there are many foreign businessmen who wholesale fabrics from Luo Chaochao.

The fabrics made in the Luochao factory are cheap, large in quantity, and of good quality: they all like them very much, except for the lack of colors, everything else is quite good.

It would be nice to have more patterns and styles.

The Lu family's shop is different. The Lu family's shop is full of the most popular styles and patterns in the capital and the south. They also want to see what is popular in the south and the capital now.

It's not that he betrayed Luo Chao Chao, he didn't want to give face to the officials, he just felt that there was a need so he wanted to take a look. Why did he have a subtle feeling of betraying Luo Chao Chao?

When Luo Chaochao's former guests saw Luo Chaochao, they always felt an inexplicable guilty conscience, a kind of embarrassment and embarrassment that their wives found themselves stealing.

On the contrary, looking at Luo Chaochao, he didn't think there was any problem at all. After handing over the gift money and gifts, he saluted all the familiar customers. Such a candid attitude actually made the customers in the store breathe a sigh of relief.

At the same time, they were even more puzzled.

Does Luo Chao not mind?

The Lu family is fighting for business.

Even if the big cloth shop of the Lu family came to Kangzhou City, even if they did nothing, this reputation would definitely suppress Luo Chaochao.

Probably because the Lu family's reputation is so great that even people in Kangzhou City have heard of the Lu family's name.

Perhaps Luo Chaochao has everything that can be compared there, and even far surpasses it, but remoteness is remoteness, and there are many hardware facilities that are not worthy of it. Whether it is consumption ability, vision, or supply and demand, nothing can match it. there. ,

It is not that Luo Chaochao has never been to the south. Of course he admits the prosperity of the south and envies the market environment there, but he has no choice but to do it first. After all, sometimes conditions are met but not sought. At first, the industries were all here, so it was impossible to move everything to the south halfway.

But what I have to say is that if Luo Chaochao starts in the south, he will definitely develop much better now than he is now.

It's useless to say these things now, he was just a little curious, why the Lu family was so persistent in wanting to fight him, and it was still in his base camp.

No matter how powerful he is, he is still in the south and the capital. Kangzhou City is far away from the capital, and his regular customers are not here. There is really no chance of winning against him here.

Even if he saw his former client come to Lu's house, he would not be angry at all.

There are so many people doing business in the world, if he is angry with everyone, what will happen to him?

Totally unnecessary.

Besides, this kind of high-end product Luo Chaochao is indeed not as good as the other party, and he will not deny that he has shortcomings. He even said hello to the guests.

so weird.

Really weird.

Lu Mingcheng, who was standing in the corner of the second floor and looking at Luo Chaochao, saw him like this, and his first reaction was that Luo Chaochao was pretending.

Seeing his guests being snatched away, how could he be so calm?

In the past, when they opened stores in other places, their colleagues were almost scared to death, for fear that they would not be able to grab them.

He gestured to the shopkeeper next to him with his eyes, and the shopkeeper immediately took the order, came down from the second floor, and greeted him with a smile: "Boss Luo, why are you free to come to our shop today? We thought you were in the shop today I'm too busy to come here."

Wow.

The guests around who had been quietly watching them couldn't help but wow in their hearts.

Is it just the first sentence that starts to be yin and yang?

There is nothing wrong with girls liking cosmetics that make them beautiful, and they also like beautiful clothes that make them more delicate and beautiful.

What's more, it is the Lu family in the south, they must have brought the most fashionable materials and styles in the south.

How could this make them not excited?

Their Kangzhou City is really too remote. By the time those fashionable materials in the capital have spread to their Kangzhou City, they have already been fashionable, and they are always far behind the south and the capital.

"Everyone likes new things." Luo Chaoxi said with a smile, "Aren't I here too?"

Was it so exciting at the beginning?

The people around secretly poking around couldn't help but click their tongues.

"Then you should pay attention, after all, there are still many employees in your store to support."

"Yes, but please don't worry too much. Although there are fewer customers today, more people come to our store to buy goods."

So the business is not affected at all, you think too much, just the fabric business has been robbed for a few days, it really can't do anything to me.

Hearing what Luo Chaoxi said, the shopkeeper hired was a little embarrassed and didn't know what to say, so he could only cough and change the subject. "Please come here, our boss has also prepared a return gift for you."

"Is this gift just for us, or is it for everyone present?" Lu Juanchi said suddenly, and the shopkeeper said "Huh?" and said, "This is specially prepared by the owner for Boss Luo."

"Boss Lu opened today, why didn't others come down?" Lu Juanchi asked again.

The store is not quiet, there are quite a few people shopping, but everyone is picking things very slowly, obviously not paying attention to them, listening to gossip with their ears open.

After Lu Juanchi's reminder, the people present reacted,

It seems that Boss Lu never showed up from the very beginning, and now the shopkeeper hired temporarily is the one who entertains them outside, and now they only go to manage Luo Chaochao, and don't care about them at all.

Although it may be because there are too many customers in the store to take care of it, but the gifts are only for Luo Chaochao...

Everyone didn't think much at first, but now that Luo Chaoxi said this, he suddenly reacted.

Yup!

When the store opened, why didn't the Lu family come and let a hired shopkeeper entertain them?

Even though their Kangzhou City is not big, the Lu family is making money from their Kangzhou City, so how could they not come out and greet them?

Don't you look down on them?

Since they come here to make money and still look down on them, the Lu family is too arrogant.

Thinking of this, the customers in the shop were visibly unhappy.

Seeing the reactions of these people, Lu Mingcheng, who had been on the second floor, put away the gloom on his face, waited for 2 minutes before coming down from upstairs, and apologized to everyone with a very sorry look: "Sorry everyone , I was still dealing with things just now, which delayed everyone's time, everyone has a gift in return, this shopkeeper is new here, I don't know anything, please don't mind."

The shopkeeper knew that he had said something wrong, so he had to apologize and said, "I made a mistake, so I'm very sorry."

In fact, only Luo Chaochao was the one who didn't prepare any return gifts from others. From the very beginning, Lu Mingcheng came here for Luo Chaochao. Other than Luo Chaochao, no one else took it to heart, so naturally he wouldn't waste his time talking to others. .

Originally, everyone didn't have it, so no one would care, but now there is a Luo Chao, only Luo Chao has it, and the others don't, so it will cause some people to be unhappy.

You can have neither, but you can't treat them differently.

At this time, someone remembered the matter of Lu Liang, suddenly reacted, whispered to the familiar people around him, "Does he have something to do with that Lu Liang?"

"The one who was thrown into the prison not long ago?" Someone remembered, "Why?"

"...I don't remember exactly."

This incident was only spread in a small area. Only a few people knew what happened in the court at the time. To ordinary people, it was more like gossip discussed after dinner. I don't even think it's something to gossip about.

"Thank you for your kindness. Today is the first day of our cloth store's opening. We have everything from the most advanced materials to ordinary materials. They are all embroidered by the best embroiderers in the south. On the first day today, we did activities. In addition to Ordinary linen is as low as [-] cents a foot, and other materials are also [-]% off!"

The atmosphere group applauded at the right time, booing and applause sounded, but the rest of the customers responded flatly and did not particularly cheer. Luo Chaoxi saw that the others did not move, so he simply praised Lu Mingcheng: "Okay!"
