The Three Worlds

"Restricting the amount of goods that merchants can take can only reduce losses, but it cannot really prevent them from illegally obtaining subsidies. We must also introduce a punishment mechanism."

A cruel look flashed across Chu Xiangxiang's face and she said again.

"If any merchant is found to have violated the rules, compensation will be ten times the price of the goods."

This punishment is not unkind.

Those businesses can't make much money even if they mess around once.

If you do get caught.

It is estimated that the compensation will go bankrupt.

"Is ten times the compensation too high?"

Lao Niu said with a hint of unbearability on his face.

"Is it high? I don't think it is high at all. I also want to mention twenty times the compensation!"

Before Chu Xiangxiang spoke, Zhou Nian next to her echoed.

"Twenty times the compensation is enough, ten times the compensation is enough. Warning is the main thing, punishment is the supplement. The main thing is to deter some people who want to go astray."

Su Chen made the final decision and agreed to what Chu Xiangxiang proposed, introducing a 'punishment mechanism'.

"But how do we monitor these merchants? Prevent them from cheating?"

Lao Niu raised a new question.

"It's simple. Anyone who buys something on Medicine Street requires the merchant to give a receipt, and then the receipt will be collected at the entrances and exits on both sides of the ancient street."

Mr. Xu's expression changed and he said.

"And we can know which orders are abnormal just by checking these tickets!"

Hearing this, Chu Xiangxiang and others all agreed and nodded.

"But in this case, won't it be too much work to check the receipts?"

Lao Niu frowned and said.

"No, this matter couldn't be easier for us."

Mr. Xu and the others looked at each other and laughed.

If this kind of work is left to others to do, it will be really troublesome, but for them, it is extremely simple.

All you need to do is use your mental power and swipe lightly.

Thousands of bills went through their minds at once.

It doesn't take much effort to find some problematic orders.

"At the same time, we also need to sign an exclusive agreement. All merchants who enjoy preferential prices must only set up stalls on Cologne Street and will never be allowed to open branches on Ninth Avenue!"

Chu Xiangxiang suggested again.

Although she has never done business, she has been exposed to many things since she was a child growing up in the imperial city.

"This is definitely a must!"

Su Chen was the first to praise and said.

Next, they put forward several suggestions one after another, some of which were adopted and some of which were rejected.

"By the way, I heard that the rent on Ninth Avenue is free for the first three months. So during this period, should we also waive the rent on Medicine Street?"

Zhou Nian's eyes flashed and he asked.

"Hiss... getting rid of the rent on Medicine Street is not a small sum of money!"

Lao Niu took a breath of air.

Today's Medicine Street has a total of 1,008 stalls.

The daily rent for each stall was one tael of silver at first. Later, after the Pharmacist Guild took over, Mr. Xinghun doubled the rent to 20 taels of silver.

Therefore, the daily income of Medicine Street is now two thousand and sixteen taels.

Assuming that a month has thirty days, then each month is sixty thousand, four hundred and eighty taels.

After three months, that's more than 180,000 taels.

"No, it's only 180,000 taels!"

Although Su Chen felt heartbroken, he didn't hesitate too much about the rent.

In his opinion, a rent of more than 100,000 yuan is nothing.

If these merchants can help them sell more pills, they will be able to make their money back soon.

As for why not sell it yourself?

The reason is simple, it is too time-consuming and labor-intensive.

These medicine street stall owners can survive in the competition of more than a thousand people. Everyone must have excellent skills, and they also have a stable customer resource.

It is these customer resources that Su Chen wants most.

"By the way, you just said that Ninth Avenue will be free of rent for three months?"

When Chu Xiangxiang heard this, her eyes lit up, and she seemed to have a new idea in her heart.

"Yes, I heard that as long as you provide goods worth thirty thousand taels of silver, you can get a store for free for three months."

Zhou Nian thought about it carefully, and after making sure that the announcement he saw was correct, he said.

"How many stores are there on the entire Ninth Avenue?"

Chu Xiangxiang pursed her lips and asked with a smile.

"I heard that to benchmark our Cologne Street, the entire Ninth Avenue has built 1,008 stores."

Although Zhou Nian didn't count them carefully, when he was inquiring about the information, he naturally also asked about some situations on the Ninth Avenue.

"One thousand and eight shops, that is to say, we only need to bring out goods worth about 30 million, and we can rent the entire medicine street."

Chu Xiangxiang stretched out three jade fingers and said.

Boom!

Thirty million worth of goods!

Covering the entire Ninth Avenue, this is really a big deal!

"Anyway, the people in the City Lord's Mansion only need to prove that we have goods worth thirty thousand, and they are not going to take away our goods."

Chu Xiangxiang said with a confident face.

"As long as we rent out all the shops, we won't have the final say at what price things will be sold at that time!"

"Cologne Medicine Street, we sell pills for one tael here, but we will sell them for a hundred taels over there!"

"I'm afraid that within ten days, there will be a lot of infamy over there."

"At that time, naturally no one will go there anymore."

After listening to Chu Xiangxiang's plan, Su Chen couldn't help laughing.

"I didn't expect you to be so mean!"

Su Chen said with a teasing look on his face.

"Mean? This is normal business competition, okay!"

Chu Xiangxiang glared at Su Chen unhappily.

"This plan is indeed good, but the premise is that we have goods worth 30 million?"

Old Xu's words were like a basin of cold water, pouring down directly.

Everyone immediately sobered up a lot.

"Then we can get as many as we can. Anyway, these shops don't charge rent, so we can occupy them first."

Chu Xiangxiang said with a nonchalant look on her face.

"That's right, as long as the young master refines more pills, we can occupy more shops. Anyway, it's like standing in the toilet without taking a shit. This wave of operations is also cool."

Zhou Nian said with a smirk on his face.

Everyone also looked supportive, but only Su Chen shook his head.

"What's good about that? They're not stupid. Even if you can produce goods worth 30 million, you can't rent a few stalls."

Su Chen has a more thorough understanding of the matter.

They said that the first three months will be free of rent.

But if too many people are interested in these shops, they can change the conditions immediately.

Even if you really take down all these shops.

Gu Mietian is such a smart guy, he won't let you sell at any price you want.
