Clear Creek Pavilion is a famous pavilion market with a radius of hundreds of li. Although the main customer group is practitioners of Qi and Qianqi periods, their payment capacity is not high.
But as a saying goes, many small feathers make a warm cloak. The revenue from Clear Creek Pavilion is quite substantial, which is why the Red Lantern cult has long stationed foundational period guards here.
Moreover, due to the backstage support from the Red Lantern cult, the popularity and security of Clear Creek Pavilion have been greatly enhanced.
Perhaps the things sold here are more expensive than those of Jinbi Cliff and Wo Long Pavilion, which are irregular marketplaces. But it's safe here.
Come here, you don't have to worry about encountering bandits extorting money as you leave after spending your funds.
Therefore, itinerant cultivators and small family cultivators often willingly pay a premium to come here and consume.
As the Guonan Xianjie world is tightly controlled by the 'Xianmeng-Shizu' system, the Qingxi Pavilion under its protection can be regarded as the end control node of 'Xianmeng- Shizu'.
Real estate property prices are influenced by location factors. Under the protection of the 'Xianmeng-Ten Clans' system, slightly better locations in Qingxi Pavilion are not inexpensive.
There are many mortal houses here, but these mortal houses were established to accommodate the mortals who serve the cultivators.
You can live here, but illegal businesses are not allowed.
If anyone dares to cross the line, the Qingxi Pavilion Security Maintenance Team led by Gaojian will make them aware of the favors of the Red Lantern cult.
Therefore, for the Wang family, opening a new store in Qingxi Pavilion is not a small matter.
The cost of buying land is not mentioned, and the various fees for the new store every year are a huge expense.
"Chief, we have to pay one hundred and forty-five spirit stones every year, not including the wages for employees. To be honest, I'm under a lot of pressure."
Yu Lou looked at the newly rising Bǎo Bǎo Gé and expressed his concerns to the chief.
"Ha ha, no payment for the first three years. Don't worry. I believe in your ability to establish Bao Bao Ge with heart and soul within three years." Wang Xianmao replied.
Tang Nianqiu's eyes behind them betrayed a hint of disdain.
He admitted that Wang Yulou had some small intelligence, and the low-priced rooms he had set up were relatively successful.
But the success in such small-scale projects doesn't mean Wang Yulou can run a big store like Bao Bao Ge well.
In choosing the manager for Bao Bao Ge, the clan chief did not trust him, an old and experienced manager, but instead gave the opportunity to the naive Wang Yulou. He didn't agree with it at all.
You all, the direct descendants, can do whatever you want. When Bao Bao Ge becomes unprofitable, isn't it going to be me or Wang Rong Sheng who have to clean up the mess?
In fact, Tang Nianqiu didn't understand. Wang Xianmao also didn't expect Yulou to do so well. He just gave Yulou a chance.
In his eyes, the position of a manager for a new store is very important, and such an idea is as laughable as a frog looking at the moon from the bottom of a well.
The clan chief is thinking that Wang Rong Sheng's ability to build foundation is still uncertain. Let Yulou manage it first, and after a few years, decide whether to hand it over to Wang Rong Sheng or others according to the situation.
"Yulou dare not be satisfied with himself. My idea is that if there are any problems, I should seek advice from Uncle Nianqiu and Uncle Rongsheng, who have more experience in the operation of pavilion stores than I do."
The clan chief is clearly wanting to test himself, using the position of manager at Bao Bao Ge as a means of refining his abilities, and Yulou naturally would not refuse.
But he still thinks very clearly that young people doing work should learn from old predecessors more, and cannot be proud and satisfied.
The experience of the past life belongs to the past life, and now living in a world where great power is personal, many things need to be learned with a humble heart.
Upon hearing Wang Yulou say this, Tang Nianqiu dare not be disdainful anymore.
If one is willing to focus on learning, even just this one point, Wang Yulou's path as the manager of a new store will not be too failed.
"Yulou, good. Our Wang family has been able to pass down through wind and rain for many years, relying on unity. However, I still hope you can rely more on yourself to face it."
Uncarved jade is not a utensil. Entrusting this store to you is to refine you, and our Wang family wants to have talents emerging in every generation, so we must dare to believe in you young people.
"Only with good development and growth of the young people in the Wang family can the future of the Wang family go further."
Wang Xianmao had extraordinary talent from a young age, with a solid family background. Later, he also served as an external clergyman at Red Lantern Cult for over thirty years, so his level is quite high.
He doesn't think that allocating a large amount of resources to talented descendants is a losing business.
Moreover, with the scale of Qingxi Pavilion being what it is, as long as Wang Yulou doesn't mess around, Bao Bao Ge won't lose too much.
"Chief, I have some research on how to establish a reputation for Bao Bao Ge."
There are seven similar stores in Qingxi Pavilion, and Bao Bao Ge is average in terms of location, not the worst but not the best.
In terms of the variety of our Wang family's talismans and elixirs, it is middle-to-low level among the seven, probably ranked third to fourth among them.
If relying solely on traditional methods of operation, perhaps it can make a profit, but it is obviously impossible to earn more spirit stones.
Therefore, it is necessary to adopt special methods to increase the fame of Bao Bao Ge, but I'm not sure if my ideas are appropriate."
Upon hearing Yulou's words, Wang Xianmao nodded in satisfaction. This child has first collected information on other competitors to gain an understanding of the characteristics of similar stores in the pavilion market.
From this point of view, Yulou is indeed putting in effort. His decision to let Yulou take the position of the manager is correct.
It's about taking a bold approach with the young people, seeing if they have any new ideas, even if they are somewhat unconventional. But with Wang Rongsheng and Tang Nianqiu overseeing, there won't be any major problems.
"Rongsheng, come here. In Wo Long Pavilion, you're operating a miscellaneous goods store. Have a chat with Yulou. He has a new idea."
Wang Rongsheng walked up in surprise, looking at Yulou with some confusion.
My child, how confident are you like this?
He thought that Wang Yulou's position as manager was just a gimmick, and the clan chief was letting him act as the actual manager, while using the position to subsidize Yulou with spirit stones.
This is not because he undervalues Yulou, but rather, Wang Rongsheng lacks understanding of Yulou.
"Uncle Rongsheng, Bao Bao Ge mainly sells talismans and elixirs. Our Wang family's talismans are very good, and the quality of the elixirs is also excellent."
But even the finest wine can go bad with age. Even if the goods are good, it doesn't mean others know. How to let customers know about Bao Bao Ge is the key to the success or failure of business operation.
I plan to prepare a special opening event, through certain discounts, to make a name for Bao Bao Ge right from the start.
Two popular items with good sales can be chosen, and a discount of 90% off can be applied on their original prices.
But this 90% discount is not free. Customers need to gather in groups of three to buy together to qualify for the 90% discount.
This way, to take advantage of this discount, customers will actively help to promote the reputation of Bao Bao Ge.
At the same time, we can also set up a flash sale event, as long as......"
"Flash sale event? You are going to kill customers?"
Wang Rongsheng seemed to be overly combative, and his absurd question left Yulou half-strangled.
