Chapter 356 - 356 Business
356 Business
After Yuan Hui’s guards took everyone away from the shop, this place suddenly fell silent.
Ning Yue looked around and instructed a few guards to take down the moldy things on the display cabinet and throw them away.
Of course, all these things were thrown at the entrance of the shop. After tidying up the shop, Ning Yue got someone to bring the moldy things to the middle of Peach Blossom Street.
She took the torch herself and burned these things.
The thick smoke from the raging fire almost covered Peach Blossom Street.
When the other merchants saw this situation, they quickly took down the moldy things in the shop and replaced them with the latest ones.
This matter made everyone in Peach Blossom Street panic, afraid that Ning Yue would come to the shop and bring them all to the Court of Justice.
After packing up, Ning Yue clapped her hands and got into the carriage to leave. She had no intention of going to the other shops to check on the situation.
Yuan Hui asked in confusion, “Aren’t you going to take a look at the other shops?”
“I’m not going. This is the emperor’s shop. He can arrange the staff himself later. All I can do now is kill one to warn the others. I’ll clean up one of the shops. The rest won’t dare to continue doing this.”
When Ning Yue said this, she looked out of the window with a deep gaze.
She didn’t know if this was the right thing to do. She was worried that if she didn’t reorganize it like this, the shopkeepers would deceive people and continue to do business against their conscience.
If that was the case, there was no point in the emperor leaving the shop to her to manage.
The emperor was a suspicious person to begin with. If she changed everyone in all the shops, the emperor might think that she had planted spies.
After all, she still had the identity of the princess of Russia.
After returning home, Ning Yue did not return to the shop. Instead, she sent a guard to pass a message.
She asked all the shops on Peach Blossom Street to hold an event. On the first day, they had to give free gifts and the items needed to be functional.
In the beginning, the commoners did not believe that those black-hearted shops would give things away. Ning Yue knew very well what these commoners were thinking.
She sent someone to find a few commoners to collect their things. Of course, they were not white-collar workers. Other than being able to obtain things from the shops on Peach Blossom Street, Ning Yue also gave them five taels of silver.
This group of people did not want to go, but five taels of silver was almost enough to cover their monthly expenses.
They took the five taels of silver and gritted their teeth.
Initially, they thought that they would be chased away when they arrived, but they did not expect to receive a lot of things here.
There were delicious snacks, rice, some oil and wine. There was quite a lot of food. It would save them a lot of money if they could eat it for a month!
The commoners, who were still watching, saw that the first batch of people had already received their things and scrambled to collect them.
The commoners went to collect their things and almost emptied the entire Peach Blossom Street.
Ning Yue did not personally go to the scene to take a look, but she sent guards to assist. On the surface, these guards were helping the merchants, but in fact, they were monitoring if these merchants were embezzling money.
Fortunately, after Ning Yue’s reorganization, these merchants did not dare to be negligent at all. They all completed their work seriously.
After a whole day, the shops on Peach Blossom Street were empty. A few merchants were also sitting on the ground tiredly.
They thought that they would be done after the event today and were preparing to sell new things tomorrow.
In the end, Ning Yue suddenly sent someone to say, “The next day’s event is a buy-one-get-one-free.”
Although they needed to spend money to buy them, the things on Peach Blossom Street were no longer as shockingly expensive. They were all at ordinary prices. It was worth it for them to be able to buy two things at ordinary prices.
The commoners fought to buy them again. The next day, everything on Peach Blossom Street was sold out.
On the third day, after the supply was replenished, Ning Yue sent someone to say that on the third day, they would have a buy two and get one free promotion.
Needless to say, the goods replenished on the third day were also bought by the commoners.
On the fourth day, Ning Yue asked the people on Peach Blossom Street to introduce a VIP card. The VIP card would only be given and not sold.
If someone spent ten taels of silver at a time, he could get an ordinary VIP card. The ordinary VIP card holder would be given a 9.5% discount.
Fifty taels of silver was the VIP bronze card. The bronze card had 10% off.
Eighty taels of silver was the VIP silver card. The silver card had 15% off..
A hundred taels of silver was the gold card. The gold card could be given a 20% discount.
There was also the diamond card. If one spent more than 500 taels of silver, they could get it. This card would give them a 30% discount.
Finally, there was the Black Gold Card.
Ning Yue created a gimmick. Those who entered the shop to buy things could obtain a black gold card. The black gold card holders would be given a 50% discount.
In the end, this black gold card became a symbol of status.
Of course, Ning Yue actually did not dare to give the black gold card away directly.
