Chapter 40 Doing Business with the Emperor
One day, Nanny Zhang was chatting with Nanny Qin and heard that the miracle doctor had almost cured the imperial concubine, so she told the queen about it.
The Queen originally wanted He Qing to find someone to harm Concubine Xi.
But there was never a chance.
After hearing what Nanny Zhang said, she thought about how to depose Concubine Xi without leaving any trace.
Nanny Zhang was a shrewd person. She had been with the queen for many years and earned a lot of money. She bought a house and real estate in her hometown and also got her son a small official position.
In order to please the queen and earn more money in the future.
She doesn't want to retire yet.
I asked my son to buy a pack of medicine from a foreigner. It was said to be a chronic poison that would make people comatose for a long time, but not deadly.
So she didn't discuss it with the queen, waiting for the matter to be done, so she could ask for credit. The queen could also give her more rewards.
That's what greedy people are like.
Early in the morning, she met Nanny Qin and told her that if the imperial concubine wanted to take care of her health, she could not stay in her room all the time, as that would be bad for her condition.
You are the nanny beside the imperial concubine. If you want to get the imperial concubine's reward, you have to serve her wholeheartedly. Look at me, I am devoted to the queen and I get the queen's reward every month.
We are from the same hometown, that's why I say this, look how nice the weather is today, this is your chance to please the imperial concubine. She kept holding Qin Ma's hand.
Then she secretly put some medicine powder between Qin Ma's fingernails.
As slaves, we hope that our masters will be favored by the emperor. Only then can we live a good life.
Nanny Zhang and Nanny Qin were talking to each other, and Nanny Qin took it to heart.
Nanny Qin is very attentive to the imperial concubine's daily life.
But she is not as scheming as Nanny Zhang.
Nanny Zhang wants to please the imperial concubine, but she never has the chance recently.
Finally, she boldly told Charlotte to take the queen out for some fresh air.
She had the opportunity to show her courtesy.
Nanny Qin really didn't know what Nanny Zhang was planning.
She supported the imperial concubine and walked slowly, wiping her sweat from time to time. When the imperial concubine was thirsty, she poured her a cup of tea.
He didn't know that it was his fault that caused the imperial concubine to be poisoned.
All of these things were seen by Charlotte's people.
When the Queen arrived at Huaqing Palace, Xia Luo's men had cornered Nanny Zhang and she hanged herself to death. She also put the package of medicine under the bed, waiting for the search.
"Madame Qin is not doing a good job. Due to the Imperial Concubine's health, she will stay with her for the time being. If she makes any more mistakes in the future, I will never forgive her."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace." Nanny Qin's expression finally changed.
"From now on, the harem will be managed by Imperial Concubine Xi, and the accounts of the palace's money will be handed over to Imperial Concubine Xi. The rest of you, please leave immediately and don't cause me any trouble."
The emperor finally took care of the backyard issues. He breathed a sigh of relief.
Xia Luo returned to Huaqing Palace and gave the imperial concubine acupuncture to detoxify her. After a while, the imperial concubine woke up.
Nanny Qin looked at Concubine Xi guiltily.
"I had a good sleep. I feel much more relaxed and in a good mood." Concubine Xi woke up in a very happy mood.
"Your Majesty, I am blind and have been framed. I kowtow to you here." Nanny Qin knelt down and kowtowed.
"Madame Qin, please get up quickly. What's past is past. I have always treated you as a relative. You just need to be more careful in the future."
The imperial concubine sat up on the bed, and Nanny Qin immediately put a pillow behind her back.
Charlotte told the whole story from beginning to end.
"Thank you for helping me get so much. I have no way to repay you. I see that you are good at business. I have more than a dozen shops that are not doing well. Why not let you manage them? The money you earn will be enough for the harem. The rest will be at your disposal."
This Concubine Xi was smart enough to know that Xia Luo was a business genius.
He took out his dowry shop and did business with Charlotte.
How could Charlotte dare to refuse?
"Your Majesty and the Emperor think so highly of me. I will stay for a while longer and take good care of the store, but I have a request."
"Please speak, my adopted daughter." The imperial concubine was so happy that she would agree to a hundred requests, not to mention one.
"All the shops are managed by people sent by me, and the queen's people are only responsible for the safety of each shop."
Xia Luo wanted Concubine Xi's people to not get involved in the business and just focus on ensuring security.
"That's no problem. I will add more guards and run the shop together. In the capital, I don't think anyone dares to act wildly in my shop."
The two people reached a consensus on cooperation under this situation.
The shops of the imperial concubine are all prosperous shops in Beijing, with good locations, but the scope of their business is a bit old-fashioned.
It took Charlotte half a month to renovate all the stores.
He replaced all the shop owners who used to run the shop with his own people.
Cao Zhize is very capable and has trained batch after batch of professional talents for Xia Luo's use.
Among them are some shopkeepers who are good at quick calculation and some waiters who are neat and quick-witted.
Charlotte converted the largest restaurant into a hot pot restaurant.
The one closest to the hot pot restaurant was turned into a milk tea shop.
Ready-made clothing shops, pawn shops, rouge shops, Western antique shops, drug stores…
On the day the shop opened, the people of Beijing were excited and told each other about it.
The hotpot was so delicious, spicy and fresh.
I have never eaten such delicious food in my life.
It’s so nice to go to the milk tea shop and buy a cup of milk tea after eating hot pot.
Rich young ladies and wives like to visit rouge shops and clothing stores.
There are ready-made clothes of various materials and fine fabrics here. The ready-made clothes are sold in different areas. The price of ready-made clothes in each area is different. If you like something, you don’t have to bargain. Just pay the money, take the goods and leave.
We also promise that if the size of the garment changes, you can exchange it. But there is a requirement: it cannot be kept for more than three days and cannot be washed. You are responsible for any damage.
There was also a constant stream of people coming to the rouge shop.
Moisturizing, sunscreen, whitening, all are the top choices for beauty-conscious ladies. Business is booming. And there is an event every seven days.
The hotpot shop has a free-bill event every week, where people who come to eat hotpot every day can bring a small card and exchange it for a free bill.
Bring your friends and family to the hotpot shop four times a week and get one free meal. You can choose your own dishes. You can not only enjoy them in the shop, but also take them home.
If you buy more than 50 taels of silver per week, you will be given a piece of Xiangyun gauze handkerchief. If you buy more than 100 taels, you will be given a set of Western-style underwear and trousers. If you buy more than 200 taels, you will be given a string of pearls awarded by the imperial concubine. If you buy more than 200 taels, you can go to the Western-style antique shop to choose whatever you want.
Merchants in the capital who had money were shocked by this way of doing business.
How can this be called business? This is just stealing business.
The restaurant they run has very few people.
The rouge shop was deserted.
There is basically no one in the clothing shop.
A businessman is inherently dishonest.
At this time, some people want to imitate their business model to earn greater economic benefits.
Who is Charlotte? Is it possible for them to surpass or imitate her successfully?
She saw many stores trying to surpass them.
She let the words out.
Hot pot restaurants can join and pay a certain amount of money, and all hot pot ingredients will be provided by them. And they guarantee the quality of the dishes in each hot pot restaurant.
The rouge shop is also a franchise store. You have to pay a certain amount of money and they will provide you with all the rouge, ensuring the quality and the stability of the customer base.
As soon as the news came out, merchants with shops came to join. Merchants from other places also came to join.
