I just want to live a good life

Chapter 154: Shopping Mall

Su Nuan was stunned by Song Qi's question. Indeed, when she didn't ask, Song Qi had been staying in Liangyi Zhai and working silently.

Like Fusheng, he was originally just a clerk in Liangyi Zhai. It was all his fault that he was too impatient in recruiting talents. As soon as others showed the slightest ability, he lost his patience.

Then he thought that such a capable person could not be attracted by money, so he said, "I am in need of people. If you think there is anything you can do, you can recommend yourself to me."

"Well, there is one thing I can do."

"Oh? What's the matter?"

"It's strange that Liu Qian suddenly bought a shop on this street. I want to check whether he was instructed by someone."

Su Nuan had also thought of this, but when she sent Falcon to investigate, she only found out Liu Qian's identity as an imperial merchant, but did not find out who he had close connections with.

"Okay, let me know as soon as you get the results."

Song Qi took the order and left.

Su Nuan looked at his disappearing back and fell into deep thought.

"Boss, Song Qi is a straightforward person. He was like this when Manager Ying was here. Don't take it to heart."

Fusheng's smiling voice interrupted Su Nuan's thoughts.

"Then do you know his background?"

"I don't know. He came earlier than me. But Manager Ying is a cautious person. Song Qi's background must be clean, otherwise why would Manager Ying use him for so long?"

Su Nuan looked at Fusheng deeply and stopped discussing the topic of Song Qi. Just like when she used Ying Shu, she used Ying Shu's ability. Now it was the same for Fusheng and Song Qi. Ying Shu didn't harm her, and she thought these two people would not do that either.

While Zhusheng Street is busy training new people, preparations for the reopening of UBS Building are almost complete.

Su Nuan wanted to see how Manager Chen was doing his job. What she wanted to see most was how the several sets of jewelry she designed were made.

The distance between the two sides was a bit far, and the carriage took a long time to arrive.

When Shopkeeper Chen heard that the boss had arrived, he hurried out to greet him.

"Master, you came at the right time. The newly made jewelry has just been delivered."

"Then I came to the right place today."

As they were talking, Shopkeeper Chen led Su Nuan to the third floor.

On the counter on the third floor there was a row of brand new brocade boxes, which were obviously new jewellery.

Shopkeeper Chen walked over quickly and opened the brocade boxes one by one, praising these sets of jewelry.

Especially the Starry Sky series, in his eyes, it was worth countless silver.

Su Nuan looked through several sets of jewelry carefully and found that the workmanship and materials of these jewelry were exquisite. She couldn't help but sigh in her heart that this was the confidence of a big store. They were much better than those made by her own small jewelry store!

After looking at the items, Su Nuan raised a new question, which was about the pricing of several sets of jewelry.

According to Shopkeeper Chen, these jewelries are exquisitely designed and unique in the imperial city, so they should be able to be sold at a sky-high price.

But Su Nuan disagreed. The reason was simple: the previous pricing of UBS Building was too high. If they continued like this, their reputation would be ruined one day. Wasn’t it because of the inflated pricing that she was able to take advantage of it before?

Shopkeeper Chen thought for a moment and said, "Master, you think our prices are too high because you only calculated the material cost of the items when setting the price, and did not take into account the reputation of our UBS Building.

The things in our Ruiyin Building are more expensive than those in other stores, but do you know why those ladies are still rushing to buy them? It is because wearing the jewelry in our Ruiyin Building can show one's status.

What is status? In this imperial city, besides official positions, there is money. There are many officials, but how many of them have money and are willing to spend it on their wives?

So the ladies rushed to buy things from our UBS building. One reason was that the things from UBS building were among the best in the imperial city. The other reason was that it showed off their status and told others that they had a high status in the family.

Therefore, an ordinary silver hairpin in our Ruiyin Building can be sold at a high price of several hundred taels, and this is because customers are willing to pay for it. "

Shopkeeper Chen's words were like an epiphany for Su Nuan, and she suddenly understood everything.

She has always been bothered by the ridiculously high prices of things in the UBS Building. In fact, the UBS Building is a luxury goods store. The things here are not sold to ordinary people, but to those who spend money like water and don't blink an eye, in order to show off their identity and status.

If the price is lower, these people may not bother to buy it.

After realizing this, Su Nuan stopped hesitating and followed Shopkeeper Chen to order several sets of jewelry at sky-high prices.

She also gave up the idea of ​​mass production and only sold one piece, making enough money to buy a batch of goods.

By selling a few sets of jewelry, she could not only pay back the money she borrowed from the shop, but also make up for the money she borrowed from the Prince's Mansion.

Money really shouldn’t be made too easily!

Just when she was getting excited, Shopkeeper Chen poured a basin of cold water on her.

According to past experience, one would be lucky to find a customer for such expensive jewelry once a year, and it would be impossible to sell all of them at once.

Su Nuan was a little disappointed, but when she thought about the speed at which UBS made money, she felt relieved again, knowing that even if she couldn't sell these sets of high-priced jewelry in a short period of time, she would be able to make money quickly.

It was her luck that she bought the UBS building before others.

Everyone in the imperial city knows that the real owner behind the UBS Building is Cheng Ji. Although Cheng Ji has been targeted by the prince, he has not yet completely fallen.

At this time, no one dared to take action against the UBS Building.

But Su Nuan knew the inside story. She knew that Mu Yunting was determined to bring down Cheng Ji. In order to bring him down, he had been secretly investigating him for eight years and had a lot of dirty information about Cheng Ji.

That's why she dared to take action against the UBS building.

On the surface, Cheng Ji was still resisting, but in fact, he had already panicked. At this moment, let alone buying the UBS Building from him, even if he was asked to give it to the Crown Prince's concubine for free, he would be willing to offer it with both hands, and only asked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to show mercy.

After walking out of the UBS building, Su Nuan felt refreshed. Then she would start to reorganize the prince's industry.

Those shops that are losing money and those shops that are making little money should all be made to earn huge profits.

Su Nuan was full of fighting spirit, but was dampened by Falcon's words when she got on the carriage.

"My Lady Concubine, the Ministry of Rites wants to discuss marrying Miss Dong with His Highness. His Highness is unable to leave, so he asked the Ministry of Rites to come to you to discuss it."

"It's not me who's getting married, why are you discussing this with me?"

"My Lady Concubine, this is what His Highness meant."

Su Nuan sighed deeply. This is what it means to be successful in business but unsuccessful in love.

Let’s talk. If Mu Yunting dares to let her handle this matter, she must be mentally prepared.

Don't blame her for fighting back since the Dong siblings have attacked her again and again.
