Chapter 409 Treasure House
Later, when they listened to the literate young man in the village reading the Da Chu Monthly to them, they learned that these special medicine pills were made by the miracle doctor named Lin Miao.
They thanked Lin Miao from the bottom of their hearts for his selfless dedication in making the prescription public. Many people secretly made clay statues of Lin Miao and worshipped them in their homes, praying to God to bless him and allow him to live a long and healthy life.
In some places, stone statues of Lin Miao are even made. Whenever someone in the family falls ill, people will go to worship the stone statue of Lin Miao, hoping that the god of health will bless the sick person and help him or her recover from the illness.
As more and more people worshipped, they developed faith. Gradually, temples were built next to the stone statue. Lin Miao had his first temple, followed by the second, the third, and so on.
The endless supply of incense from the people turned into merit and flowed into Lin Chuyi's system space, turning into merit points to help Lin Chuyi improve his level.
In comparison, Piaomiao Pavilion and Piaoyi Pavilion are much more pure. Their mission assistance to Lin Chuyi ranks last among the existing industries, but they are among the best in terms of making money.
Due to the large temperature difference between the north and the south, people have great differences in dressing and clothing styles, so the development model of unified production, distribution to stores, and unified sales of Piaomiao Pavilion and Piaoy Pavilion is not applicable in the north.
However, the clothing industry has huge profits. Piaomiaoge and Piaoyege, which are only developed in the south, rank among the top three in the industry in terms of net profit every time they are settled.
With huge profits in front of him, Qian Lai did not want to give up the large consumer market in the north because of the nature of the brand, so he opened a new clothing brand in the north - Tianyi Pavilion.
Different from the other two stores, Tianyi Pavilion has been pursuing a high-end and elegant route from the very beginning. Each store of Tianyi Pavilion is a two-story stand-alone building, with men's clothing, shoes and socks, and decorations on the first floor, and women's clothing, children's clothing, and underwear on the second floor.
The store is clean and bright, simple and elegant, with three-dimensional and novel designs. While highlighting the brand style, it easily makes people want to buy.
Qian Laiye was already very skilled in operating the brand. Under Qian Laiye's operation, Tianyi Pavilion quickly gained a foothold in northern cities and began to gradually open new branches in other state capitals.
Judging from the current progress, it will not be a problem to make Tianyi Pavilion a well-known brand in the north within three years. However, it will still be difficult to have Tianyi Pavilion stores in all northern state capitals.
In addition to the Tianyi Pavilion founded by Qian Lai, there is also the Qianjin Pavilion which is in charge of Shi Niang.
Qianjinge is in the cosmetics and skin care business. All of its products are made from pure plant essences, are pollution-free and additive-free, and can beautify and nourish the skin, fight aging, remove wrinkles and remove acne. The effects of various sets are different.
No woman can resist the temptation to keep her beauty and delay aging. The richer and more powerful the ladies and daughters are, the more they pay attention to maintaining their appearance.
It is precisely for this reason that Senjinkaku is very popular in Kyoto. Even though the prices of the goods inside vary greatly, many people still flock to it.
In just two years, Senjin Pavilion became the most profitable shop in Kyoto, and it has maintained this title ever since.
Because Qianjin Pavilion's market positioning is high-end, taking into account the market consumption capacity and Lin Chuyi's original purpose of establishing Qianjin Pavilion, Shi Niang did not develop Qianjin Pavilion on a large scale and make it move towards a chain brand.
Instead, they used their existing skills, frequently changed their identities, grasped the consumption mentality of high-end people, and created one high-end, high-consumption service brand after another.
To date, Shi Niang has a total of four brands, namely Qianjin Pavilion, Treasure House, Diancui Pavilion and Taotie Ju.
Except for Qianjinge, which Lin Chuyi participated in building at the beginning, the remaining three brands were created by Shi Niang herself using the resources provided by Lin Chuyi.
The Treasure House, as the name suggests, sells all kinds of rare treasures. The goods on display are either various treasures brought out of the sea by Lin Chuyi, or things produced in the space that have not yet appeared in this era.
Scarcity makes things valuable. Just a few items from the Treasure House can be considered the treasures of other shops. It is the existence of these things that has established the Treasure House's status among its peers.
In addition to the fact that its products are extremely rare and have high collection value, the Treasure House has another major feature, which is that it has pioneered a new sales model - auction.
Since its opening, the Treasure House has held a commodity auction in the building on the fifth day of every month.
Ten days before each event, Treasure House will distribute an invitation to the latest auction to every customer whose total in-store spending that month exceeds five hundred taels.
At that time, guests can bring their invitation letters to the Treasure House to participate in the corresponding auction.
The auction staff will lead them to different seats according to their respective consumption amounts and membership levels.
In each auction, the Treasure House would present ten items, and most of the auctioned items were the Treasure House’s own items.
Of course, Treasure House also accepts consignment of external goods, but the review process for external goods is very strict, and Treasure House does not accept items of unknown origin.
Precisely because of the strict review, the number of foreign goods flowing into the auction is not large. Usually, among ten lots, there will be only one or two foreign goods at most.
Once successfully selected, the professional appraiser of the Treasure House will give the market price and the lowest starting price of the product, and then ask the other party about the ideal price in their mind, and inform the other party that once the auction is successfully held, the Treasure House will charge a 30% appearance fee, so that the other party will think carefully about whether to make the deal.
If the other party considers it and chooses to end the transaction, then he only needs to pay the corresponding consulting fee and he can leave with his collection.
However, if the other party chooses to reach a deal with Treasure House, they will need to sign a profit-sharing contract with Treasure House in advance. After the process is completed, Treasure House will arrange for the product to be auctioned at the next auction.
The order in which the auction items are presented is also very particular. They are usually arranged in order from low to high according to their market value. The lower-priced items are used first to liven up the atmosphere, and then more exquisite and more expensive items are gradually brought out to attract the attention of those customers who "don't choose the right ones, only the expensive ones."
Finally, the finale item, which has never been officially displayed in the Treasure House display cabinet, was used to stabilize the event. Under such a layered atmosphere, no item in the auction has ever failed to be sold.
