Chapter 325 Business Model
The next day, the old lady took Miss Luo Hong to see the Murong family's property.
The three busiest streets and six alleys in Tanzhou are all lined with shops owned by the Murong family. In the very center is a library where books can be borrowed for free. Compared to the last time I saw it, the library has doubled in size.
The housekeeper beside the old lady explained that after Master Murong reached an agreement with the Fang Group, he had the workers connect the building next to the library, expanding its scale and enriching the library's collection.
The old lady asked the old housekeeper to take out the account book. It turned out that last time, Mr. Murong signed an agreement with them to obtain the copyrights of many books, and by the way, he also promoted the movable type printing technology. All the dividends were recorded in the account.
There was a full 100,000 taels of silver, Luo Yu’s pupils popped out!
"Isn't this a bit too much?"
"Your movable type printing is an excellent technology. You will get a commission for every book we print."
Qin Bingrui exclaimed again, "Wow!" As expected of the wealthy and generous Murong family, Master Murong's grandmother is quite impressive! I wonder if Sister Luo Yu will waver in her feelings. After all, she's looking for someone to spend her life with, so why not choose carefully? At least the Murong family doesn't have too many family dramas!
Zhu Jinyou never leaves his side.
He saw something else in Qin Bingrui's eyes.
He snorted coldly: "Miss Qin is easy to get rid of."
Qin Bingrui gave him a grimace in return.
"If Master Zhu had such intentions back then, why would he resort to deceiving and coaxing me now? My sister worried day and night about making money for you, but in the end, she didn't make as much as someone who didn't have to worry about anything."
Zhu Jinyou's scalp tingled when he heard this. Now they were saying that he was stingy and ungentlemanly?
An image suddenly flashed through his mind, a scene from his dream. When Miss Luo Yu chose to jump off the cliff with Bai Hu, she looked at him with resentment, perhaps despair and distrust of him.
Why did he think of this? Zhu Jinyou never had any doubts about any of his choices, especially since this was a dream.
He felt a little guilty and thought he was a little sorry for Miss Luo Yu.
Miss Luo Yu, who was not far away, was chatting and laughing with the old lady, and would look towards Qin Bingrui and Zhu Jinyou from time to time.
Judging from Zhu Jinyou's unhappy expression, he must have been pissed off by Qin Bingrui.
Song Si called out softly, "Master, they've gone far away."
Zhu Jinyou came to his senses and followed him quietly.
Qin Bingrui smiled nonchalantly, thinking that Zhu Jinyou would not say such a thing and then reflect on himself.
Immediately afterwards, the old lady took Miss Luo Yu to the largest restaurant in Tanzhou City, saying that she had booked the entire building to entertain them.
Qin Bingrui sighed again: "Oh, the Murong family is so rich, they are probably rich enough to rival a country!"
Song Si retorted, "Miss Qin is also a woman, so you can consider marrying her."
Qin Bingrui groaned: "She has a granddaughter at home, why don't you consider marrying into her family?"
Just then, a young woman, as radiant as the morning moon, emerged from the restaurant. Seeing Madam Murong, she rushed forward, took her arm, and said with a smile, "Grandma, why are you only here now? We've been waiting for you for several quarters of an hour."
Turning to look at Miss Luo Hong, her voice was even sweeter and gentler: "This must be Miss Qin Luo Hong! She is so beautiful, like a lotus flower that emerges from the mud without being stained, peerless and independent."
Zhu Jinyou pursed his lips and tightened them. Does this mean that Miss Luo Yu, who followed them out of the imperial city, is stuck in the mud? The people of the Murong family are really good at talking.
Madam Murong scratched her nose and said, "You are the only one who can talk."
Qin Bingrui was amazed. This girl was indeed a talented writer. Her words described her so aptly.
"Hey, little sister, look at me, how do you describe me?"
Murong Jingjing chuckled. This Miss Qin dressed as a man was really interesting. Brother Huaijin always said that she was not serious. But after seeing her today, she realized that this was the case. She was shining with heroic spirit. Other girls were delicate flowers, but she was a towering tree, standing tall and unyielding.
"The girl has an extraordinary figure and looks very impressive!"
"Little sister is really good at judging people."
Qin Bingrui was so happy and courageous, proving that his masculinity could not be concealed by a woman's body.
"I am Murong Jingjing, the seventh daughter of the Murong family. I am five years younger than Brother Huaijin. In terms of age, I may not be younger than you. Please don't call me little sister."
She glanced at His Royal Highness Prince Ning behind them. She had heard of him, but she hadn't expected him to be so handsome. His image and temperament were no less impressive than her brother Huai Jin's. No wonder Huai Jin was so discouraged...
The largest Qingtian Restaurant of the Murong family is managed by Murong Jingjing. Luo Yu's pupils moved slightly. No wonder Mr. Murong respects women so much. It turns out that he was well educated by his noble family!
Murong Jingjing let go of her grandmother's hand, walked over and held Miss Luo Hong's arm, as if she were her good sister.
"Miss Luo Yu, I heard Brother Huai Jin tell me about your interesting business experiences in Liangzhou City and Wangzhou City. I am truly admirable. You are the most amazing girl I have ever met in my life."
After saying that, she felt something was wrong and turned to smile at her grandmother, "Grandma, you are the most amazing old lady I have ever met!"
A group of neatly dressed servants lined up in an orderly manner and led these distinguished guests into the rooms on the top floor.
After everyone took their seats in the side room.
Seeing that Murong Jingjing was a cheerful girl, Luo Yu liked her very much and exchanged some business experiences with her.
"You mean, the restaurant has a membership system? Regular customers who spend a certain amount can get a 40% to 90% discount depending on the amount they spend? The more they spend, the more discounts they get?"
Murong Jingjing opened her mouth wide, it was really interesting to listen to. When she heard Brother Huaijin say that Miss Luo Hong’s points system helped her stand out from the crowd of opponents, she thought that the Murong family’s assets would be useless, after all, Tanzhou City belonged to their Murong family!
But this membership system is interesting. Once old customers hear about the discounts, they will come more often. Normally, they only come three or four times a month, but with more discounts, they will come seven or eight times. This increases the number of people coming, and even if there are discounts, the turnover will be much higher than before.
Luo Yu nodded. After walking around the restaurant from the entrance to the upper floors, she discovered something very interesting. There were not many places for dine-in. Except for the first and second floors, the rest were all small and large private rooms. If it was a holiday, wouldn't many people not be able to book a seat?
"I have another idea. Would Miss Murong Qi want to hear it?"
"Miss Luo Yu, please speak."
"In addition to serving dine-in meals, restaurants can also do takeout. Any takeout ordered in Tanzhou City can be delivered within an incense stick of time. Isn't that also a business? All we need to do is hire more errand boys, and get paid based on commission for each meal delivered. The more they deliver, the more they earn. I think there should be quite a few people doing this, and it would also provide an additional employment option for ordinary people in Tanzhou."
Murong Jingjing grabbed Miss Luo Yu's hands with one hand, her eyes shining.
She raised her lips slightly and said coquettishly to her grandmother, "Grandma, I finally understand why Brother Huaijin likes Miss Luo Yu. I just met her for the first time and I like her so much."
The old lady pretended to rebuke her, "You frivolous girl, what are you talking about?"
Qin Luoqi chuckled, only to see Zhu Jinyou's brows slightly furrowed.
"Miss Luo Yu's idea is good, but how can you guarantee that the delivery guy has delivered the food? And how can we let people know who needs food?"
Luo Yu smiled lightly. This gentleman was the only one who always had countless traps in mind before others even mentioned the first point.
People who come from the royal family are overly cautious. Such people are suitable for palace fighting, house fighting and other fights, but they are not good at doing business and are likely to kill themselves.
"There are many ways to do this. You don't have to exhaust all the tricks. You can improve as you go. Business is all about learning from experience and lessons along the way, and that's how you get better and better."
"Miss Luo Yu, what you said is very good! For this takeaway, we just need to send out the takeaway order. As for whether it has been delivered, we will make a sign-in sheet, and the customers who receive the takeaway only need to put their fingerprints on it!"
Luo Yu couldn't believe that Miss Murong could draw inferences so quickly. There really were no weaklings in the Murong family.
Qin Bingrui saw that Zhu Jinyou hadn't relaxed his frown, so he smiled and said, "After the flyers have been distributed, place a box at every intersection. Customers who want to order takeout can put their specific address and the dishes they want in the box. Every half a minute, a delivery guy will collect the order and take it back.
We'll assign a few dedicated delivery drivers to each street, so there won't be any fighting over orders. Everyone can earn money fairly."
Zhu Jinyou suddenly understood. It seemed that Qin Bingrui was the only one in the world who could fully understand Luo Yu's intentions. They were indeed relatives who grew up together.
After hearing this, Murong Jingjing was extremely excited and wanted to fly down immediately to complete the distribution of the restaurant's takeaway work.
Old Madam Murong nodded repeatedly in satisfaction, her eyes slightly narrowed. The more she looked at these two girls, the more she liked them. Even if they didn't marry into their Murong family, they couldn't let the Zhu family get away with it.
Zhu Jinyou felt a chill down his spine and knew he had to quickly take his daughter Luo Yu and flee Tanzhou City.
