Chapter 148 (1/2)
The next day, the motorcade headed eastward.
Begonia city is flat and surrounded by mountains, so the more you go, the hotter the weather is.
In the evening, the merchant team came to the outside of Haitang city.
At the gate of the city, there were already two teams waiting. When they saw the team, they greeted them together.
The first two elders in brocade robes are Tang Luli, the red faced master of Tang family, and Tang Wuwei, the black faced master of Tang family.
Tang Luli took two steps forward with a smile and said loudly, ”the second young merchant is coming. I'm sorry for my loss and welcome you far away.”
Tang Wuwei was not slow behind him. He hugged his fist and arched his hand: ”Tang Wuwei has seen two young people.”
”I said Lao Tang, you are too hypocritical. Are you ordinary people? How can you blame us? Since you know you are guilty, why don't you go out ten miles in advance?”
Tang Luli glared at Tang Wuwei: ”don't you carry it, don't you? You always talk so straight. I really don't know how you do this business.”
Shang Chenxi took one person in one hand and said with a smile: ”the two masters are polite. You can meet them personally. Shang erzu feels very kind.”
The three entered the city talking and laughing.
Tang Luli said with a smile, ”Er Shao, why did old Tang tou steal me? Because he lost the bet, ha ha ha. Therefore, the arrangement for this time is that you stay at my house for a few days and go to the Tang family for one night before you leave.”
Tang Wuwei said, ”so what? Businesses have always been fair. Otherwise, how can they dominate Xianzhou's business community? Two young people will favor one over the other.”
Shang Chenxi held them: ”it's natural. Business can't be done. Everyone makes money. Both Shibo are trusted partners of the business.”
After joking for a while, the three got into the car battle, and the merchant team was led to the Tang family mansion.
Along the way, the Vientiane gate saw from the window that the Begonia city was indeed the city as its name. On both sides of the street and on the side of the houses in the lane, most of them were planted with different varieties of Begonia trees.
Now it is the flowering season. Flowers are blooming everywhere, with natural and unrestrained flowers and colorful colors.
The sea of Begonia has the meaning of big and many. Begonia is homonymous with the hall, which means full of wealth and honor. Therefore, Begonia flower has the nickname of rich flower, which has been loved by celebrities and scholars since ancient times.
For example, there is a famous saying in ancient times that ”read all the dark and light colors in the world, and Po Weng prefers Begonia red”. There is also a poem chanting Begonia that ”the east wind curls up and worships the light, and the fragrant fog turns to the corridor. For fear that the flowers will sleep at night, so burn high candles to illuminate the red makeup”. And ”when the concubine is drunk, the Begonia sleeps in spring” has become a good word to describe the beauty who is drunk and does not wake up.
Tang family mansion occupies a very wide area, with layers, waterside pavilions and platforms, and luxurious guest rooms.
After the merchant and his party settled down and spent the evening, Shang Chenxi knew that the Vientiane gate was their first trip, so he put forward a proposal to visit the bustling place of the city, which everyone readily agreed.
Tang Luli was very interesting. He didn't accompany him, but sent servants to show them the way.
Under the waning night, the commercial city is full of lights and people. Under the protection of baojianbo, Ge Langqin and AI Qingrou, Shang Chenxi led seven people to watch.
For more than half an hour, Shang Chenxi said he wanted to find a place to eat wine and have some supper. At this time, they came to the door of the two facing shops.
Look at the cover at the door. One says ”Duobao family” and the other says ”laojiji herbal tea”.
After asking the waiter accompanied by the Tang family, the waiter said that both of them are time-honored brands engaged in local famous Begonia herbal tea. They have been fighting openly and secretly because of their opposite faces.
Shang Chenxi stopped to wait and see. After watching for a while, he said to everyone, ”isn't LAN Ting always clamoring to learn business skills? We won't start talking about business until tomorrow. I'll give you a chance tonight.”
”You, together with eight people of Xiao AI, go to these two herbal tea shops to drink tea. Observe all the details carefully for me. After half an hour, we will discuss and evaluate their respective business advantages and disadvantages. I will wait for you in the distillery on the corner.”
Shang Chenxi said that the winery is obviously facing the rich. It is antique and elegantly decorated. The downstairs yard is separated by Begonia trees and divided into several independent areas.
When the eight hualanting people came back, Shang Chenxi said, ”don't just listen to me to change the form today. Lao Niu and I are responsible for guiding the comments. You can ask questions and discuss.”
”First of all, business is the same as your practice. There may be general principles, but there are no fixed rules for the path of practice.”
”The scale, industry, category, demand and times are different, and the strategies and methods are also changing. Only whether it is appropriate, there is no absolute good or bad, right or wrong, and we can't copy mechanically. Today, we only talk about the current situation of these two countries.”
”I'll ask the first question first. You all talk about it.”
”The business of the two brands is not bad. At the moment, there are many guests at the peak of the night. They have to queue up first. Do you see the difference?”
The woman's heart was more careful. Wen Yin immediately replied without thinking: ”I noticed it. It's very interesting. Because the tables and chairs of the two families are arranged in different ways, the formation of the queue is different.”
”Duobao's home is a long line facing the counter. The guests have been discharged from the gate for some time, while the old Jiji number is lined up horizontally close to the counter. When there are many people, they line up around the store.”
Shang Chenxi said, ”think about it, what are the benefits?”
Hua Lanting said: ”if the vertical row can be discharged from the gate, it will appear that there are many guests, business is booming and attract the attention of passers-by. However, sometimes, if I am in a general mood and anxious, I will also be deterred from the long queue.”
Lin Xianjing said: ”during the horizontal line, guests have space and time to look at the category prices in the counter and decide what to buy, which can improve the order efficiency.”
