Chapter 78: A Thousand Gold Purchase
The primary reason why Su Shengsheng decided to launch a low-cost, fast-selling product was to quickly penetrate the market and build a complete industrial chain.
Secondly, she plans to use this version 1.0 product to test the market reaction and collect feedback from all parties.
This is like a mobile phone manufacturer whose ultimate goal is to develop touch-screen phones. However, during the R&D process, due to the large amount of trial and error costs, if the capital chain is broken, it may face the risk of being acquired or having its market share seized.
In this industry without patent laws, what she can do, others can try as well.
To avoid this risk, two strategies are generally chosen.
First, build a low-end product line, namely version 1.0.
By first launching a stylus touch-screen mobile phone, we can recover part of the investment and then continue to invest in research and development.
As for her gas field development project, she estimates that it may take several versions, including 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, and 4.0, before the gas field can be successfully exploited.
In order to avoid a cash flow interruption, she had to adopt a strategy of fighting to support the war.
After all, she had already tried the second method - financing, but no one came to help!
She thought that after this quick punch, the merchants on Pinglai Street would at least react.
But unexpectedly, the person came, but it was not the one she thought of.
Shixianglou
When she walked into the Shixianglou, she found that in the lobby that should have been full of people, there was only one lady sitting in the middle.
Qing Ning quickly walked over and whispered to Su Shengsheng, "She said it was someone from the Jun family. I asked her but she refused to tell me who it was."
He booked the entire place, compensated the customers three times their losses, and just sat there waiting to see Su Shengsheng.
Jun family?
It can’t be the Jun family of Yunyin Jun family, right?
Forgive Su Shengsheng's limited knowledge, she really couldn't tell the identity of the woman in front of her, because there was no special decoration in the carriage outside.
This young lady's upturned eyes, obvious eye bags, overly full lips and noble and cool facial features all reveal an inviolable noble temperament.
Although this appearance cannot be said to be peerless, it is also unparalleled in grace.
Su Shengsheng stepped forward and bowed, "Hello, Miss." Since the other party refused to reveal her identity, she naturally did not dare to address her casually.
However, the other party didn't seem to want to even go through the motions and simply threw a bag of gold on the table.
"This is two thousand taels of gold. My young lady wants to purchase the Shixianglou and needs to transfer the ownership today."
One tael of gold, ten taels of silver.
Two thousand gold is twenty thousand taels.
Isn’t this the number the lady needs?
Qing Ning's heart was moved when she heard this. She lowered her voice and said to Su Shengsheng, "Miss, this opportunity is too good to be missed! You don't have to worry about Ning Yu and me."
Su Shengsheng was actually a little surprised. How could this young lady, who seemed to have no shortage of money, actually fall in love with her Shixianglou?
"However, the kitchen staff need to stay, and the price will be calculated separately." The maid who spoke made arrangements without waiting for Su Shengsheng to speak.
He acted so arrogantly, yet seemed to be nothing new. It was obvious at first glance that he was not someone to be trifled with.
Su Shengsheng chuckled, "Miss Meng, you think highly of me. It's truly an honor for us to be able to choose this Shixianglou." Then she changed the subject, "It's just that I have signed an agreement with several shop owners to continue this business together."
"Don't worry about that. My lady will pay for the compensation."
The maid's answer made Su Shengsheng realize that they had no intention of doing big business.
After learning that they had no such intentions, Su Shengsheng understood. "Thank you for your kindness, Miss. Our shop is based on integrity. This is not just a matter between a few shopkeepers, but also a promise to our customers. I can only politely decline your proposal, Miss."
The maid probably never thought that there would be someone who would not want to take advantage of this golden pie falling from the sky.
Her tone suddenly turned cold. "Shopkeeper, this shop is rented, right? I advise you to agree to it, otherwise you will lose your foothold in this difficult situation."
It seems that they have already found out the situation, and if soft tactics don't work, they will resort to hard tactics?
Su Shengsheng's smile became more and more harmless. "What the hell is this girl saying? My family and I just want to leave, but no one can send us away!"
The maid saw that her words were full of ulterior motives, and her face instantly darkened. She said in a cold voice, "If you don't accept my toast, you'll have to drink the penalty wine."
Su Shengsheng smiled calmly, casually filled a glass of wine, and gently placed it in front of the maid. "How can I be qualified to drink your wine, young lady? However, if you really want to recruit these kitchen staff, I'm afraid I can't help you. Whether they stay or go is up to them to decide."
If they can really pry it away, then they are capable.
Although the store is rented, the employees are trained by them.
The maid was annoyed that she had revealed her true identity right from the start, and now she was unwilling to accept the provocative drink. "Hmph, you have a rather tough tone."
Su Shengsheng chuckled and slowly placed the wine glass back on the table. "Those who can reach this chasm are probably just tough guys. How about you just tell me your purpose?"
It is really puzzling that he not only looks down on her shop but also has no intention of running it well, yet still wants her employees to stay.
Yunyinjun's family has business all over the world, but her shop is very small and will probably not attract their attention.
Pinglai Street and Changhua Street would never send anyone to deliver gold, so she could not guess the other party's true intentions.
"Qi Man, let's go."
Unexpectedly, the other party didn't respond to her at all. Ling Ran stood up and left with a group of followers.
Qing Ning looked at the nobles, whose maids were all dressed in silk and satin, and was terrified. She hurried to Su Shengsheng's side and said, "Miss, we may have offended someone, right?"
Su Shengsheng looked at the table full of untouched delicacies and shook her head gently. "They are either rich or noble, how could they really look down on us?"
Even a maid was dismissive of her, so it was obvious that she was not here to steal business.
Qing Ning asked in confusion, "Miss, if you know this, why are you still saying this? Aren't you afraid of really offending them?"
Su Shengsheng smiled helplessly, "The other party's intentions are unclear, I was just testing them."
Qing Ning looked at Su Shengsheng who had sat down again and asked worriedly, "Miss, did you find out anything?"
Su Shengsheng picked up a piece of special ham, savored it carefully, and said, "This made the person angry and left. He didn't get anything out of him."
"Ah?" Qing Ning was caught off guard by this.
Su Shengsheng beckoned her to come closer, "Go spread the news that someone has offered two thousand taels of gold to buy the Shixianglou."
Qing Ning was completely confused. "Miss, aren't you afraid that the shopkeepers will run away with you?"
Su Shengsheng smiled mysteriously, "You can't keep someone who wants to run away. Besides, this is a good thing that will raise our value for free, so why not do it?"
Now the enemy is in the dark and we are in the light, and the other party's details are unknown. If she doesn't make a feint, how can she test the other party's true intentions?
Qing Ning was still a little hesitant. "I think those people are not easy to deal with. What if they end up buying the shop?"
Su Shengsheng gently tapped her wrinkled nose and said, "Remember, anything can be taken away, but the things inside cannot be taken away."
She pointed to her head, and seeing that Qingning still looked worried, she also picked up a piece of ham for her.
"Don't worry. Even if the shop is taken over, the kitchen is pried open, and the owner runs away, we can still open another one, right? Can they still buy up all the shops in Tianqianguan?"
She said happily, "They're willing to pay such a high price, it must be because this store has something they're eyeing. We'll just have to wait and see."
Qing Ning was helpless and bit the meat in her hand fiercely. "Two thousand taels of gold, Miss, my heart aches!"
Su Shengsheng hurriedly gave her some meat to comfort her, "There will be bread, and everything will be there."
…
"Miss, it's all my fault. I didn't find out clearly beforehand."
Qi Man said with regret that she had never seen anyone who was so unmoved by gold.
"Has he...come here often lately?"
