In their past lives, merchants created "Double Eleven," "Double Twelve," and "618" to help consumers "slim down" their wallets.
Food festivals are bait to lure fish into ponds.
Several fish have already entered the fishpond.
So what's the next step?
All eight merchants eventually stayed in Emerald City.
"You are the first merchants to join Emerald City."
As a special favor, I will waive your taxes and rent for one year.
A giant pie fell from the sky, stunning seven people.
Another was already captivated by beauty.
At this moment, the one whose face turned red and who slammed his fist on the table was none other than Tom, who had long been "fallen in love at first sight" with Li Aili.
"No way! Wouldn't you be at a disadvantage then?!"
Before the seven people who came with him could even feel happy, they were almost so angry that they vomited blood because of one sentence from this idiot.
The two people closest to Tom sprang up like springs and covered Tom's mouth from both sides.
Tom: "Ughhhhh!!!" (Why are you covering me?!)
Old Jack: "Are you telling the truth?"
Li Aili: "Of course."
"However, I have a request."
Old Jack's face stiffened, but he was mentally prepared to be ruthlessly exploited.
[Yeah, what am I thinking? Are there any nobles in this world who don't exploit the poor?]
Old Jack instinctively clutched his empty money bag.
If it's too dark, let's go back and stay in Denton...
Li Aili said, "I'm planning to organize a discount festival to promote Emerald Valley's reputation."
Of course, this cannot be achieved by relying solely on these eight small vendors.
The elves of Tankar often come to freeload, so it's not unreasonable to trick them into setting up a stall and selling some local specialties, right?
Giant crops grown locally, alchemical potions...
Besides, she has so many friends, like mages and arcane sorcerers. It's not unreasonable to ask them to set up a stall, is it?
"If it works well, we'll hold it once a year."
When it comes to money, the poor always react quickly.
Old Jack let out a wry smile: [Oh, not really greedy, just hoping we'd all pay out of our own pockets...]
Li Aili: "..."
"You don't need to pay anything; I'll cover the price difference for the first shopping festival discount."
"Whether or not to include the shopping festival's discount activities in the future is up to you."
To everyone's surprise, another bubble appeared above Old Jack's head: [Hiss! This…]
Li Aili slightly curled the corners of her lips, thinking that this time the old man had nothing to doubt.
Who knew?
Could this noble lady have a bigger scheme up her sleeve?!
Li Aili: "..."
"Alright, that's all for your information."
You can start moving into the shops you've booked and preparing your inventory.
As long as we open before the shopping festival in two weeks, that's fine.
After Li Aili finished speaking, she sent the eight people away.
After the eight people left, she called over Wendy Nice, who had been bored lately and kept asking her for 'hair growth tonic'.
Yes, Wendy Nice is a stinky little sister today.
She's been having a run-in with Thomason lately.
If you fall in love, first become a boy, anger Thomason, and when he's about to kill you, drink the potion and become a girl.
Regarding this reckless and foolish move, Li Aili's opinion is that before Thomason loses his temper, they should quickly find something for the brat to do.
The little girl was dressed in men's clothing, and her oval face was covered with a thick beard.
It's obviously a side effect of having just taken hair growth medication.
Li Aili: "..."
"How is Thomason?"
Wendy Nice, recalling the big, goofy guy's furious outburst, laughed like a fox who had stolen a chicken. "Maybe not so good~ hehehe."
Li Aili: "..."
Li Aili earnestly reminded Wendy Nice, "Actually, it's very easy for people to break their bottom line."
Wendy Nix thought she was talking about her being sometimes male and sometimes female, and waved her hand dismissively, "It's okay~ I can handle it."
Li Aili: "No, I'm afraid of Thomason." He might break his own rule of not hitting women someday.
Wendy Nice: "?"
Li Aili gave her little sister a meaningful look. "It's okay, as long as you're happy. Let's get down to business."
"There are a few things I need you to do."
"I want to organize a shopping festival, and the general idea is as follows..."
Li Aili described the operating model of shopping streets in later generations to Wendy.
Wendy was very clever; she immediately recognized the huge business opportunity in it.
She instantly forgot about Thomason, the 'toy' she had been using to pass the time these past few days.
"These kinds of festivals are so profitable!"
"Let them have a taste of success in the first year, then start subtly reducing the discounts from the second year onwards, and by the third year, it's time to cash in!"
At that moment, Conrad came in carrying steaming hot black tea and snacks.
Li Aili said, "No, I want a good reputation."
"So, you can't ruin the reputation of this shopping festival, understand?"
Wendy strongly disapproves of Ellie Lee, but she's too cowardly to say anything.
Li Aili wanted to give her an important position, so she said a few more words to her: "How many shopping streets are there in the world?"
"If Emerald City wants to carve out a path to success, it can't afford to ruin its reputation."
Wendy wasn't one to argue, and she quickly came up with the advantages that Li Aili mentioned.
He even took out paper and pen and immediately did some calculations.
Even the daily turnover of some of the world's most famous shopping streets.
