I opened a tavern in Datang/Datang: My peerless talent was exposed

After all, in the eyes of most people, the so-called merchants are just blood-sucking worms, who do not do production but rely on various means to earn money that others cannot earn in their lifetime.

This is also the reason why everyone has always looked down on merchants.In their view, this kind of person is actually like a raised pig. If they get fat, they should be killed. Anyway, it doesn't matter if they are killed, and new pigs will grow fatter.

But it's different when it comes to Zhang Nuo. From Li Shimin's point of view, Zhang Nuo is a real talent of ghosts and gods. He obviously wants to make money, but he seems to be able to take care of the interests of many parties in everything. Not to mention, he can always accomplish something big by the way!

Chapter 224 I open a supermarket in Datang?

Zhang Nuo looked at Lao Li with a smile, and almost wrote the words "I'm teasing you" on his face, but Li Shimin really had to cooperate, otherwise this master could really suffocate you to death.

So Li Shimin hurriedly filled Zhang Nuo's vacated teacup in a hurry, and pushed it forward with a flattering face, waiting for the old man in front of him to explain to him.

If it was just a business, he would naturally not care so much about it. It was nothing more than earning more and earning less. He, Li Shimin, is the master of the world, even if money is tight temporarily, it is not a big deal.

However, what he valued was Zhang Nuo's thinking that was always reflected in his business. That kind of weird thinking could always make a simple thing completely different from ordinary people.

Zhang Nuo smiled and picked up the teacup in front of him, blew on it lightly before taking a sip, there must be a limit to whet the appetite, too much is not fun, it is not a joke between friends, it is a deliberate embarrassment people.

"Lao Li, let me ask you, if a commoner family raises chickens and grows vegetables in the yard, what will they do with the eggs and extra vegetables they have accumulated?"

Li Shimin was stunned, what is the problem?But he answered honestly,

"Naturally, it is necessary to accumulate a certain amount and then sell it in the market. How much can it subsidize the family!"

Zhang Nuo shook his head disdainfully,

"Old Li, why don't you eat minced meat? This is all your own guess, but it's actually not the case at all!"

Li Shimin was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly became a little embarrassed, what the hell, that's not the case, so what's going on?

But that's what he saw. In the street market, there are often men and women in simple clothes standing on the side of the street with a basket selling some home-grown things.

Fortunately, he often walks all over Chang'an City in white dragon fish clothes, but he didn't expect to be sprayed by this little brother today, why not eat minced meat, this is so embarrassing!

Zhang Nuo didn't care about Lao Li's embarrassment. To be honest, if he hadn't often chatted with people at that time, he didn't know about it. From the commanding heights, he arrogantly despised Lao Li.

"You have to understand, how many people are there in the entire city of Chang'an, how big is the market? How is it possible for everyone to sell on the street? No matter how small a small stall is, it still takes up space, and how much space can be set up on the street?"

"So, the vast majority of civilians can't finish eating the vegetables they grow at home. They either feed the chickens or give them to their neighbors. I'm afraid that none of them can be exchanged for money!"

Hearing this, Li Shimin nodded his head. That's true. If the people in Chang'an City carried their own vegetables to the streets to sell every day, then the West Market might not even have a place to stand.

Moreover, they are all poor people after all, and their yards are not large. Even if there are a little extra vegetables to sell, it doesn't count as much.

"On the other hand, those high-ranking officials and nobles naturally don't grow vegetables in their gardens at home. If they have that spare time, it's better to let the servants plant some red flowers and green trees, at least it looks good."

"That's why they have to go to the market to buy anything they need, unless the top nobles have their own farms outside the city, and they may be able to get some food from the farm."

"But the freshest vegetables, eggs, and meat are still convenient to buy. After all, you can buy them with money."

Li Shimin nodded while listening, and he didn't feel disgusted. This is a very normal situation. It seems that his family is the largest in terms of area. In fact, his family is the largest. After all, he lives in the palace.

But the palace also has to buy various items from outside and from the Huangzhuang, and no one is thinking about farming in the palace on a large scale.

"Lao Li, you have to understand that the purchases of these big families are actually very troublesome. They are afraid of price increases, fear of out of stock, fear of closing, and the mistress of the house can't even find out whether the servants have tampered with the most basic checks. , because she has no idea what the price of vegetables changes three times a day!"

"But with our shop, it's completely different. Whether it's a commoner who has extra vegetables and eggs to sell at home, or a rich family who needs to purchase various items every day, we can satisfy all of them and make money. !"

Zhang Nuo didn't look at Lao Li's stunned face any more. Zhang Nuo, who was talking about the excitement, had already stood up, walked aimlessly in the middle hall with his hands behind his back, and continued to say loudly,

"We will rent a set of shops in every important square city, and then the rooms at the back will be converted into warehouses, so that the vast majority of people in Chang'an City can do business with us!"

"Every day, we will continue to purchase all kinds of vegetables, poultry eggs, snacks, and even needles and threads. As long as you are willing to sell something, as long as someone buys it, we will buy it!"

"Then, these scattered purchases, combined with the purchases we buy from those vegetable and meat vendors every day, we will sell directly to those high-ranking households!"

"For those big families, as long as they sign an agreement with us, we will give them a price list every month, so that they can clearly see how much it costs!"

"At the same time, every day they purchase, they only need to come to the door to report the required categories and quantities, and after checking the deposits, they can take the things away. At the end of the month, we will take this account to write off with them and transfer the money Take back!"

"Lao Li, just say, who in Chang'an City is not willing to do this kind of business with us? Is it more convenient than buying at your own house? And for those ordinary people, is there another way to make money!"

Zhang Nuo was impassioned and high-spirited at the end, God, I am so awesome, actually thinking of opening a supermarket in Datang, it is still a chain supermarket!

At this moment, Zhang Nuo felt as if he was possessed by the god of business. Supply chain management, enterprise cash flow management, warehouse management, logistics management, employee management, and a series of supermarket industry knowledge emerged from the depths of his memory almost instantly.

In fact, these things were read when he was young and planning to start a business. At that time, he felt that it was too depressing to be in the kitchen every day, so he bought a bunch of books and planned to turn the restaurant into a supermarket.

As a result, after reading the book for a long time, it turned out that the restaurant is still a restaurant, and there is no shadow of the supermarket. Zhang Nuo is still the depressed chef.

After all, not everyone can become a business genius by reading a few books, especially Zhang Nuo was still a scumbag at that time!

However, with the support of the system, Zhang Nuo finally remembered the knowledge that had long been lost in the depths of his memory!

Chapter 225 The Deep Meaning Behind Business

Zhang Nuo is really excited, this feeling of creating wealth by relying on knowledge and insight really makes people obsessed and refreshed!

In his previous life, he was basically a skilled job. After all, a chef is also a craft, but he can't get on the table. After all, he is not a job with face.

But it’s different now, he is about to create the first supermarket chain in Datang, and it’s the kind where the emperor buys shares. This nima is simply a monopoly business, who dares to fight against the emperor?

Moreover, as long as the secrecy is done well, it is basically difficult for ordinary people to guess the profit margins and operating methods here, and they don't even know when the first competitor will appear.

However, Zhang Nuo, who was overly excited, didn't notice that Li Shimin, who was looking forward to it and was excited, now looked blank.

He never figured out how to make money here.

Rent requires money, labor requires money, and buying things requires money. Even if you add some profits and sell them to those big households, you won’t be able to earn much money?

After all, if the added price is too high, no one will be willing to buy it. Buying from your home is just for convenience. If the final purchase price is too expensive, it will not be as good as before!

Although Li Shimin admits that in this way, the people in Chang'an City have an extra way to get money, and he can slowly collect information on the Tibetans, and he can even arrange a group of disabled soldiers, but the business of this little shopkeeper on weekdays Don't they all make money?

Is this a modified son today?Looking at Shopkeeper Xiao Zhang's excited look, he doesn't look like a fool. Could there be something in it that he didn't expect?

Li Shimin had nothing to be embarrassed about, if he didn't know, he didn't know, if he didn't know, he just asked directly, but when he asked the question, Zhang Nuo was stunned!

It's not because of other things, but mainly because of how to explain the more complicated business ideas of later generations that contain various technical terms in plain language, which makes him really embarrassed.

After pondering for a while, Zhang Nuo said seriously,

"First of all, we basically don't make much money from the common people. One is to gain fame, and the other is to replenish the supply of goods. After all, there are many needles and brains, and there is no special workshop to make them. Only such purchases can guarantee us supply!"

"The second is the suppliers who supply us. Suppose they kill ten sheep a day, and each sheep can be sold for two yuan, and the profit is about one hundred yuan. Then they can earn one yuan a day."

"But if they supply us with goods, I will ask for them to send me a hundred sheep a day, but I will give him a profit of twenty yuan for each sheep, but in this way he can earn two pennies a day instead!"

"At the same time, he can't guarantee to sell ten sheep every day, but I can guarantee that I will sell at least one hundred sheep every day, so do you think he will do business with me?"

"And when I sell things in my shop to others, even if it is only based on the usual price of two guan, I can earn [-] yuan. One hundred sheep is [-] yuan. This is just mutton, and other things are counted. together?"

Li Shimin scratched his head and scratched his head when he heard this, and always felt that he had thought of something, but he couldn't understand it even though he seemed to be in front of him vaguely through a layer of paper.

Zhang Nuo didn't care so much, he carefully explained to Lao Li according to the thinking in his mind,

"Lao Li, you have to understand that we are actually taking advantage of a long-term, centralized procurement, just like ordinary procurement, the more you buy, the faster the merchant sells things to recover the cost, and your price will naturally increase. Cheap!"

Speaking of this, Li Shimin suddenly became enlightened, and finally understood, it turned out to be the case, and there are so many details in it!

Hearing Lao Li's naive flattery, Zhang Nuo rolled his eyes angrily, and continued,

"You only saw the first step, we can earn the price difference when we flip inside, but can you see the second step?"

Li Shimin was stunned again, why is there a second step?Isn't it just to open a shop to resell things, just to earn money, and it is already very rare to be able to help the poor while earning money, so what is the second step?

Seeing Li Shimin's bewildered look, Zhang Nuo also sighed, but his business vision is more than 1000 years apart, and only the gradually prosperous commercial society of later generations will make an ordinary person come to Datang like a god of business generally.

After all, not to mention anything else, the business thinking in the mind is enough to go far enough beyond these ancients.

Thinking of this, Zhang Nuo was also a little bit discouraged, and said softly,

"Old Li, you have to understand that for the poor people in Chang'an City, if there is another way to make money, will they be happy and want to make more money?"

Li Shimin nodded his head as a matter of course. Isn't this a natural thing? If you have money, you will naturally work hard!

"Especially those women, they can't do much work in the fields at most, but if one day they find that some of the needlework they do can be sold for money, will they work hard?"

"Then if some of them are particularly good in craftsmanship, they will naturally sell very well here. At this time, she is too busy alone. Will she teach some women in the neighborhood to do it together?"

"So if things go on like this, does this large family have a stable and more and more way to make money?"

Li Shimin opened his mouth unconsciously when he heard the back, and couldn't even close it in the end!

Oh my god, this is the real second step. As expected, I am worthy of being the shopkeeper Xiao Zhang. I thought it was wrong!

He is also a smart person, although he couldn't figure it out immediately, he still has the ability to draw inferences from Zhang Nuo's explanation, even though Zhang Nuo just mentioned only women.

But where is it actually just a woman?

All kinds of workshops and workshops, as long as they sell more goods, they will naturally hire more people, and those men who can only do odd jobs on weekdays can also earn money from these jobs.

Although there was no statistical data on the employment rate in Datang at this time, at least all the ruling classes understood one truth, that is, as long as there were jobs, money to earn, and food to eat, the society would be stable.

As for Zhang Nuo, who seemed to be a simple and simple business without any technical content, anyone could do it. How could there be a little bit hidden behind it? This is simply a grand plan!

Not only is the money earned, but a series of problems such as the livelihood of the common people, the purchase of large households, the production of workshops, and the pensions of veterans have been solved in succession!

At this time, Li Shimin looked at Zhang Nuo and felt more and more that this is a rare treasure that must not be let go!

Chapter 226

Regarding Lao Li's exclamation, although Zhang Nuo was still a little proud at this time, he was no longer as excited as before.

After all, this pretentiousness is still a scorer. After being shocked in front of Lao Li so many times, he doesn't feel much. Lao Li's flattering skills are not very good, and he doesn't feel at all happy.

But fortunately, Lao Li's expression was sincere enough, and his exclamation came from the heart.Therefore, Zhang Nuo, who was reluctant, was still willing to chat with people.

Of course, the main reason is that they are all old friends, and his social circle is not big, there are only a few people, and he can't find anyone else to pretend to be.

Just now after Zhang Nuo explained the whole business process clearly, he has already finalized the part of it with Lao Li, because His Majesty needs the emperor to invest in shares, write inscriptions, and maybe advertise in the princes and ministers, so Zhang Nuo directly Gave the emperor two members.

As for Lao Li, he is responsible for recruiting a large number of people, whether it is a servant or a disabled soldier, anyway, Lao Li will do it anyway, and at the same time he has to invest a sum of money, about two to three thousand guan.

In this case, Lao Li can take up [-]% of the shares, and the rest is Zhang Nuo's own.

He has to be responsible for a series of things such as personnel training, supply chain construction, daily management, and strategic development.At the same time, when he invested in the initial stage, he had to take out real money.

After all, whether it is renting or buying a house, just looking at the amount is not a small amount of money. You must know that Chang'an currently has [-] squares.

Naturally, it is impossible to cover all the workshops in one go in the early stage, not to mention the lack of financial resources, it is also a big test for personnel. At present, Zhang Nuo's own workshop area is still short of people. How can there be so many people to be store managers?

Even if Lao Li sent someone here, he had to train seriously.Therefore, it is better to open a dozen or so houses honestly!

In addition, when we first started, the supply chain payment must not be too serious. After all, the suppliers have not been fattened yet, so how dare they use a knife to slaughter them!

After a few months, they have already tasted the benefits, and the bill period must be longer and longer, and the price must be lower.

Therefore, in the early stage, Zhang Nuo had to get a working capital to meet the daily consumption of the first month!

But as the saying goes, it’s never too late for a good meal. As long as the entire business system is in operation, the speed of making money is simply frightening.

After all, it is estimated that for a long time, what he does here will be a unique business, and as long as he has established a good reputation, he doesn't have to think about other things. Any firm can compete with this one.

After all, this is just the beginning, and he still has a lot of classic promotional methods for later generations. If anyone really wants to compete with him, as long as it is not an official blow or purely commercial means, even if he is just a The owner of the restaurant, he also boasts that he can beat the elites of all walks of life at this time.

What Li Shimin was thinking at this time was not how much money he could earn, but was thinking hard, what are the benefits of the emergence of such a business model for attacking aristocratic families and stabilizing the court?

At the same time, from such an incident, what experience can be absorbed into the future governance, after all, his main business is the emperor, he can't just focus on which transactions every day!

Thinking of this, Li Shimin looked at the calm shopkeeper Xiao Zhang and asked with a smile,

"My dear brother, why do you think your brain is so good? The business you mentioned just now. From a certain point of view, it is the same as what you usually said. You can do three things at a time. The real one stone Three birds!"

"However, I'm thinking, are you secretly scheming against the family in this matter, so give brother Wei the truth!"

Zhang Nuo looked at Lao Li and had nothing to say. I'm just doing business. Why do I have to keep an eye on Shijia? For now, Shijia hasn't provoked me!

However, after thinking about it, Lao Li, as a member of the royal family, probably sees the family's death as a dislike, so let's follow what Lao Li said, alas, a middle-aged man in his early thirties, it's better not to collapse his mentality !

"Old Li, you have to understand that the aristocratic family is the same as the royal family. They are all human beings, but the royal family and the imperial court are one. This brings the biggest benefit, that is, being upright!"

Looking at Lao Li who was a little excited, Zhang Nuo continued with a smile,

"That's right, it's upright and upright. In the whole world, is it the king's soil leading the land? Is it the king's ministers, because now it is Li Tang's world.

Then, when your majesty has money, you can reduce or exempt the agricultural tax, if your majesty wants to fight a war, you can call up government soldiers, and if your majesty wants to build water conservancy, you can call up corvees! "

"And all this is something the aristocratic family wants to do but can't do. They can only secretly raise dead soldiers, can only secretly prepare armor, and can only secretly oppress the surrounding people!"

"This is the biggest difference between the aristocratic family and the court, and with this difference, many things are actually easy to understand!"

"Sometimes the imperial court can not care about the gains and losses of a city or a pool. As long as the general trend of the world is favorable, it doesn't matter even if a city is partially lost!"
