Chapter 167 - Sky-high Price Tickets (1/2)
Facing Su Yan's scrutinizing gaze, Yuyan was very generous.
Once the problem of beauty was solved, everything was ready.
Su Yan and her people mysteriously stayed in the mansion in the city for a few days.
The moment they came out, Qicao Pawnshop officially announced that it had been redecorated and reopened.
On the opening day, tickets were charged. Each ticket cost one tael of silver and was being pre-sold.
Upon hearing this news, everyone thought that Qicao Pawnshop was crazy about money.
Other people would give free gifts or lower prices to attract business when they opened their businesses, but they had not sold anything and were actually charging for the tickets first.
The people in the capital just watched the show and did not buy it.
However, no one noticed that Qicao Pawnshop, which was almost a dead shop before, had unknowingly become the topic of discussion for everyone.
Initially, Niu Sheng and the others were worried about what Su Yan would do. After all, the power of Guang Residence was supporting them. However, after hearing this news, they were relieved.
She was just a whimsical miss. Did she really think that it was so easy to run a business.
On the first day, the advance tickets were sold out. There were only a few people who bought tickets out of curiosity.
This was already out of Zhang Sheng's expectations. None of them had expected this.
Su Yan sat in the back room quietly drinking tea while listening to Zhang Sheng's report. These stories had recently spread all over the streets and alleys.
She put down her teacup and said, ”We can proceed to the next step.”
Qicao Pawnshop had already become the center of discussion in the capital. On that day, they issued another notice.
”The price of the tickets to Qicao Pawnshop has increased by one tael. From now on, two taels per ticket.”
This once again caused an uproar among the crowd. They would not buy it.
Time passed day by day. Su Yan was not in a hurry at all. She only asked, ”How many tickets have you sold?”
Zhao Sheng replied, ”Twelve.”
Su Yan said, ”It's about time. Let's proceed to the next step.”
Zhang Sheng accepted the order.
