Chapter 87 Spark Building
A few days later, the news that the newly built capital of Siguo was about to hold an exhibition was passed through the sales network of Lingjia Group and posted the notice in the streets and alleys of various cities in various countries. Ling Yi also sent people to various restaurants to promote it, saying that it was easy for Siguo to make money. Immediately, these news exploded in the business world.
If the merchant doesn't know the news, he will be despised by everyone. Many merchants returning from Si State have also confirmed the news. As long as you have the goods, you are not afraid of not being able to sell them in Si State. With this, merchants are flocking to them and prepare to go to Si State to make a big profit.
Ling Yi also prepared a lot of his own products to carry out sales fairs. On this day, he found Qian Xiaoxing and discussed the matters of the exhibition. Ling Yi asked: "Brother-in-law, this exhibition is good, but it is not good for Si Guo. How can we make money?"
Qian Xiaoxing looked at the venue under construction and said, "I am also thinking about how Siguo makes money if Xinghuo City becomes the trading capital. First, the rent of a thousand stores will have income in a year. If the business is good, the rent of this store will be high, and the income will be not small. Second, the commission of the money house will be paid. Merchants will not bring a lot of silver to come. If silver notes are used, it will increase the profit of the money house. Third, Siguo can charge transaction tax. Who asked them to trade on the territory of Siguo? Fourth, it is a guarantee commission similar to the exhibition. Think about it, I am the seller who only took samples to show you and asked you to order and pay for the goods. If you take the money and don't give the goods, the buyer will definitely not do it. So the money must be placed in Siguo first. After the seller has paid the goods, we will give him the money. This guarantee will be given to him and a small amount of fees will be withdrawn."
Ling Yi applauded and said, "It's not bad. Although it seems that there are only a small commission, if the daily trading volume is large, this quantity cannot be underestimated."
Qian Xiaoxing nodded and continued, "These are only direct interests. I am telling you the indirect interests. I will take you to a place first."
After saying that, Qian Xiaoxing led the way and took Ling Yi to a location. From a distance, Ling Yi could reach a high-rise building like a pass where it was erected. He was very confused all the way. When he approached and looked up, he couldn't help but open his mouth wide in surprise.
The scaffolding of the building in front of me was surrounded and was still under construction, but it was five floors high. The neat windows made Ling Yi unable to count them. Qian Xiaoxing looked at Ling Yi's surprised expression and was very proud and said, "Brother Ling, how is my building built?"
Ling Yi shook his head in disbelief and said, "It's so tall and so big, but what's the use of building this building?"
Qian Xiaoxing explained: "This is a hotel, which is generally called an inn. The first floor is a restaurant, the second floor is an entertainment room, the upper floor is a guest room, and the first floor has a hundred rooms, a total of four hundred."
"The indirect benefit you mentioned is this, with 400 guest rooms, it's so good." Ling Yi said in surprise.
Qian Xiaoxing shook his head and said, "How much income can you earn in accommodation? The main thing is catering and entertainment. Those who come here are merchants. If you make money in Siguo, you will naturally come to consume. If you eat and play well, you will spend a lot of money, haha."
"Work, what's there to be fun?" Ling Yi was itchy when he heard it and couldn't help asking.
Qian Xiaoxing thought for a while and replied, "That's a lot. For example, women, you can buy some prostitutes from other countries and serve everyone."
"You, you still want to be the boss of a brothel." Ling Yi smiled.
"Yes, I really want to do it." Qian Xiaoxing laughed and continued: "Entertainment venues also include casinos, bath centers, theaters, shopping malls, etc. As long as I can make money, I will open it."
After hearing this, the Ling family couldn't help but come up to touch Qian Xiaoxing's head and sighed: "Brother-in-law, how do you have this brain? You can think of all these things. It turns out that attracting merchants to come to Siguo to trade is a pretext. Here is the way to make money."
"That's right, I spent a lot of money on this building, and my pockets were almost empty." Qian Xiaoxing replied.
Ling Yi immediately came up and said, "Brother-in-law, is it not enough money? It doesn't matter. Come to me for it. I have money and I don't have high requirements. Give me some shares. I also want to do this business with you."
"Since Brother Ling is also interested, then I will make the mall for you. But you have to build a brand for me. Those who can use this brand are all people with status, such as diamond jewelry, popular clothing, rouge and water powder, you can sell it." Qian Xiaoxing replied.
Ling Yi said excitedly: "Okay, shopping malls are my strengths, but I don't know much about what brand, you have to teach me."
Qian Xiaoxing nodded and said, "This is fine. With a brand, the profits will be amazing. With the same products, if you have a brand, it will be much more expensive. These are all money that can be made in vain."
Ling Yi nodded, looked at the tall floor, and couldn't help but sigh: "This building is so good. When I go back to Dashi Kingdom, I will build one to promote the wealth of my Ling family."
Qian Xiaoxing named the building Xinghuo Building and was explaining the brand with Ling Yi. His five wives also came to visit this majestic building together. Si Yingying couldn't help but exclaim: "What a great house, I really want to live here too."
Qian Xiaoxing smiled and said, "You are all the boss's wife. Of course you can live in. I have a section on the fifth floor, which is specially used for us to live on our own. However, there is no one who chooses the manager of this Spark Building. Who would you like to do it?"
When Si Yingying heard this, she immediately became interested and said, "I'll do it."
"Yingying, you still have to manage the Qian Group, don't be too tired." Qian Xiaoxing pulled Lan Xiaocui over and said, "Xiaocui, come and do it. Others have their work arrangements, and they can't get rid of it."
"I..." Lan Xiaocui was a little embarrassed and said, "I don't understand these things."
"If you don't understand, I can teach you. Look, Yingying manages Qian's Group, Ling Shan manages the branches of supermarkets and money shops. Sister Ying wants to lead the Ye Ying Group, Hongyue wants to take charge of the Yimu clan. Only you don't have a job at the moment." Qian Xiaoxing said.
Lan Xiaocui glanced at everyone and saw that everyone could contribute their strength to Si State and did not want to be behind them. So she replied: "Okay, Brother Xing thinks I can do it, then I can do it well, I will definitely do it."
Qian Xiaoxing held Lan Xiaocui's hand and said, "Haha, there will be thousands of employees in the Xinghuo Building in the future. You are also a big leader, and you will be more powerful at that time."
Si Yingying replied: "We are the leader, you are the commander-in-chief. You are fine. We will arrange for all work. I think you really want to marry a few more women to help you do things."
"Oh, your suggestions are very good, I will consider them carefully." Qian Xiaoxing said seriously.
Shi Yeying glared at her eyes and danced her fists and said, "You are so brave! I heard that you still want to open a brothel, it doesn't matter if you open it, but you dare to try it. Our sisters all agreed that you will never touch us."
Qian Xiaoxing replied seriously: "Absolutely no, I can't even touch so many beautiful ladies, so I'm in the mood to pay attention to them."
"I don't think so, aren't the flowers in the house without the fragrance of wild flowers?" Shi Yeying said.
Qian Xiaoxing replied: "I want to pick wild flowers, and I will pick you."
"That depends on whether you have the ability to do this. How have you practiced martial arts recently?" Shi Yeying asked.
Qian Xiaoxing said: "Of course, I am still hardworking as always. I told you that I have practiced your Baguazhang almost the same. Moreover, I have made some modifications and mixed in some Tai Chi methods. After I use them skillfully, you will no longer be my opponent."
Tai Chi? Shi Yeying was stunned when she heard this, but thinking that Qian Xiaoxing was not much more powerful, she smiled and said, "Don't practice messy, then Baguazhang will not look like Tai Chi, it's useless."
Qian Xiaoxing immediately retorted: "How is it possible? Just based on my mind, of course, it is to combine the strengths of the two sets of boxing techniques. At that time, I will convince you if you lose."
"Oh, then I'm looking forward to it when you say this. I'll practice again when I go back, don't really lose to you." Shi Yeying replied.
After sending off the wife's tour group, Lu Shengzhong brought Qian Xiaoxing's guard company over. Lu Shengzhong said: "Seventh brother, you have been busy building Xinghuo City, so I have selected your guard company to supplement the personnel. There were originally eighteen people left, among which Xiong Yitan and Wu Tong were transferred to the lion regiment, and there were only sixteen people left in the original team. I selected sixteen elites from each army for you and added them to the supplementary forces."
Qian Xiaoxing looked at the soldiers standing in the second row, each holding his head and chest out. In the front row were the original bandits, and behind were newly added personnel. After a tour with Lu Shengzhong, Lu Shengzhong quietly said in Qian Xiaoxing's ear: "Seventh brother, I have chosen people for you, but those newly selected people are talented and naturally have high spirits. I am not convinced by your original people. If this continues, the guards will not be united. It is useless for me to persuade you. You should solve this problem yourself. I am powerless."
"No problem, I'll deal with it." Qian Xiaoxing whispered to Lu Shengzhong, and ordered the guards: "Go ahead three steps in the back row!"
The newly selected soldiers immediately arrived at the first row. Qian Xiaoxing looked around and saw that all of them were burly and well-melted. Lu Shengzhong was really right. They were all elites in the army. Qian Xiaoxing said, "I heard that you are not convinced by the original soldiers of the Guard Company. Who would like to say why they are not convinced?"
The vanguard soldier looked at everyone and saw that everyone kept silent. He stepped forward and replied loudly: "Report to the Chief of Staff, my name is Zhang Yongchao. We are all elites in the army. The original guards even heard that they were from bandits. We are all confident and capable, and they are stronger than their abilities."
"Zhang Yongchao, your name is good, you will never fall behind. No wonder you love competitions so much," Qian Xiaoxing walked back and forth and said, "Okay, since you want to compete, I will let them compete with you to see who is stronger and who is weak."
Zhang Yongchao was not timid and replied loudly: "Okay, Chief of Staff, we have nothing to say about whether it is a single or a group fight."
Qian Xiaoxing waved his hand and said, "Whether singles or group fights, there will inevitably be damage. These strengths will be placed on killing enemies in the future. Today's competition is very simple, just climbing a mountain." As he said that, Qian Xiaoxing pointed to the top of the mountain on the right and continued, "Which group will reach the top of the mountain first is to win, Zhang Yongchao, do you think it is fair?"
Zhang Yongchao looked down to the top of the mountain and said it was not very high. This mountain climbing was nothing more than a competition of endurance. He discussed it with everyone and said, "Let's follow the Chief of Staff to compete for mountain climbing."
Qian Xiaoxing nodded and said, "Then I will make a few requirements. First, no items are allowed except for clothes and pants. Second, it is necessary for all the people in the group to go to the bottom of the mountain. Third, I would like to remind everyone that you must pass a small river to the top of the mountain and then climb a cliff. You can prepare in advance. Fourth, I will join the original guard company group. Fifth, I will win the group, and I will select the position of company commander of the guard company from it. I hope everyone will work hard. What are your objections?"
"No more!" the soldier replied in unison.
