Zhao Chengyan and Liu Yunqing were completely unaware of their worries, and they went to Wangyue Tower together.

Mr. Zhao usually went out in a carriage pulled by four horses. Whenever he looked up, he would know the status of the person sitting inside. However, he would not be so high-profile when he went out to take care of business.

Mao'er replaced it with a carriage pulled by two horses. Although Liu Yunqing still thought it was luxurious and expensive, such carriages were not uncommon in Bian Jing.

Those who have a lot of money like to show off, especially those who do business, and they don’t know what it means to be low-key.

So when the carriage carried the two of them onto the street, there were no people staring at them curiously. After Mao'er disguised himself a little, no one knew that the person sitting inside was Mr. Zhao.

The carriage went straight to Wangyue Tower and the two entered through the back door.

Although Wangyue Tower is a restaurant, it is more than one building. From the front, it is a complex of three three-story buildings connected together.

There is a koi pond and a unique curved covered bridge in the front yard, and a small garden with rockery and flowing water in the back. The winding path leads to a secluded place, bypassing a group of strange rocks and flowing water, and then you can see two tower-shaped buildings in the east and west corners respectively.

These two buildings are slightly higher than the previous buildings by half a story. People can enjoy the stars and the moon from above, and they also protect the main building complex. It is just as good as Fan Tower and is truly worthy of the name Moon-Watching Tower.

Zhao Chengyan first took Liu Yunqing around for a tour before asking.

"I guess Yunqing also knows what happened in Wangyue Tower. Now I have bought this place, but I don't know how to do business with it. It has been shelved for some time."

"Manager Zhang said before that he might as well open a restaurant and do the same business as before, but Wangyue Tower sold fake wine and people died. If we open a restaurant again, I'm afraid people will not dare to come."

"I know that Chunhe Teahouse was revived by you. Please, Yunqing, save my Wangyue Teahouse. It doesn't matter how much money you spend. It would be best if the signboard can be replaced. Everything is up to you. Even if you ask me to perform a play on the street, I will do it!"

Liu Yunqing smiled and said, "Why ask our master to go out and sing opera? That would be too cheap. Besides, Ah Yan doesn't want people to know that this is your business. If anyone wants to sing opera, it should be Shopkeeper Zhang who should do it!"

Zhao Chengyan blinked his eyes: "Do you really have to sing? Shopkeeper Zhang is tone-deaf and he once scared his child to tears."

"Then you can't ask him to sing."

Liu Yunqing joked, then said seriously: "I wonder if Ah Yan has ever thought about doing business? Wangyue Tower is such a large area, such a good location, don't you think it's a pity to just run a restaurant?"

Zhao Chengyan pondered for a moment and said, "Of course it's a pity. Running a restaurant seems to make money, but the cost is not low. It takes a lot of hard work to run it throughout the year. However, just paying the chefs and waiters, and the consumption of ingredients and utensils, will cost 30% to 40%."

"Not to mention the various arrangements and competition from peers. Moreover, Fanlou is already here. All the restaurants in Bianjing follow Fanlou's example. It's very difficult to surpass it, unless you are like Yunqing, who constantly innovates."

"But what else can we do besides run a restaurant? We can't tear down this wonderful place and cut it into pieces to run different businesses."

Liu Yunqing looked at him with a smile: "Why not? Wouldn't it be better to separate the rooms instead of cutting them apart?"

She was in no hurry to explain, but walked straight to the cashier's counter, found a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and carefully drew the layout of the Moon-Watching Tower.

The three main buildings in the front are connected, covering a large area, with red doors, embroidered windows, and flying eaves and corners.

Although Liu Yunqing had never been in there to shop, he could not help but marvel at the craftsmanship of the craftsmen every time he passed by, especially at night when the colorful canopies and light racks were hung up and the glazed tiles sparkled, which was truly magnificent and dazzling.

There is naturally nothing much to say about the beginning, but no matter what you are running, the problems will arise in the end.

The two observatory buildings are not close to the main building. In addition, the path is winding, so it takes twice as long to walk from front to back.

If some people didn't like to hold banquets in secluded places, the liveliness would be very different.

But if two sky bridges could be built in the middle to allow people to go directly from the main building to the two auxiliary buildings at the back, the situation would be very different.

"Ah Yan, since you are in charge of the shipping business, I believe the items you trade must be large and complicated. How do you usually ask people to sell them?"

Zhao Chengyan answered honestly, "Of course I opened different shops and sold the unsold goods to the Maritime Customs. However, the Maritime Customs kept the price low, so the profit was really small."

"In order to protect our profits, we have to ask people to plan to open a few more stores. But as you know, the expenses of opening a store are not small. One more store means more people to take care of. The burden falls on my shoulders!"

Liu Yunqing nodded and showed the map he had planned to the other person: "It's all right now. I'll give you an idea so you don't have to worry about it."

"Instead of opening a restaurant that imitates others, it is better to open a department store. You will have a stable supply of goods and attract some time-honored brands to settle in. In the future, you will no longer have to ask the people to buy meat in the East Market, wine in the West Market, grain in the North, and goods in the South."

"From now on, everything is available at your one-stop shop!"

Mr. Zhao is very smart. He had already had a vague guess when Liu Yunqing said to separate the various places. Now when he heard about this one-stop shopping, he felt like he had been enlightened and everything became clear to him all of a sudden!

However, even though he understood it, Zhao Chengyan still felt unsure when it came to business.

"I understand what you mean. To put it simply, it is equivalent to asking me to open all my shops in this Wangyue Building. However, Yunqing has also seen that this Wangyue Building is so big that even if I really move a shop here, I am afraid it will not be able to occupy it."

Liu Yunqing smiled and said, "What's the big deal? Just like Fan Lou, he not only runs a restaurant but also buys wine and wine yeast. The three thousand wine bars and wine stalls in Bianjing all get their goods from him. Besides general merchandise, we can also sell other things."

"It's boring just to ask people to come and buy things. It's such a big place with such a comprehensive range of products. What should we do when we get tired and hungry? There must be food and drinks for sale."

"What if the children you bring here get impatient? There has to be a place for them to play."

"What if we buy too much and don't have enough silver? Fengyuan Bank will have to open a branch here."

"It's such a big backyard, it's a waste to just plant some flowers and plants. If we turn it into a stage or a food court, it will be lively day and night and make people not want to go home!"

"Sir, the main purpose of opening a shop is to make money! We can earn money from eating, drinking and having fun. We can even open up some corners around the shop for parking, and there will be a fee for parking!"

Liu Yunqing listed all these items one by one, leaving Mr. Zhao dumbfounded.
