Suddenly hearing Tang En mention the Rosa d 'Oro family, Fiona's gaze turned terrifying.
"The Forier family?!"
Tang En immediately understood what Fiona meant. He shook his head. "It's not what you think."
Fiona put down the pen and paper and stared at Tang En, waiting for him to continue.
"Do you know that you have a godfather?"
"…"
As expected, Fiona was confused.
"Alright."
Tang En sighed. "Your father, Edward, was friends with Aubrey …"
"That's impossible!"
"Although the Rosa d 'Oro family used to be famous, it's nothing compared to the Foel family. How could the two be related?" Fiona denied it without hesitation.
"You're too unconfident … Actually, it's true."
After a pause, Tang En continued, "Also, Aubrey is your godfather. He was the one who baptized you."
Fiona was stunned. "Aubrey … is my godfather? Are you kidding me? "
"Of course not. It's true."
"Then why didn't he save our family back then?!"
Fiona was agitated. "With the Forier family's power, it should have been easy, right?!"
"Fiona, you've lost your cool … You should know that factional conflicts can't be explained with just a few words."
Tang En shook his head. "He knew about the Rosa d 'Oro family, but he and Adrian were both outside at that time. They couldn't help your father at all. Moreover, the aristocrats had wanted to deal with your family for a long time. When Aubrey found out, it was already too late."
Fiona took a deep breath and tried to control her emotions. She clenched her fists tightly. The hatred that had disappeared was ignited again. Dots of elemental light appeared around her.
"Calm down."
Tang En waved his hand gently, and the restless elements dissipated. He said, "With your intelligence, you should be able to understand. Back then, you were still a child. How could you survive such a tragedy? How did you manage to survive in Alinx? "
Fiona fell silent. Of course, she had long noticed that someone had been following and monitoring her. It was precisely because she had noticed that she had decided to escape from Alinx.
"If it wasn't for Aubry's men secretly protecting you, how could you have been so safe all these years?"
Tang En patted Fiona on the shoulder. "Don't blame Aubrey. He's done his best."
"I understand."
Fiona took a deep breath. "I won't blame him. I don't have the right to blame him."
"That's right."
Tang En looked at Fiona with great relief. "Even if he was your father's friend, from the standpoint of the family's interests, he had no reason to help you. But later, he resolutely stepped in to protect you. He's already done a good job."
After Fiona calmed down a little, Tang En continued, "Besides, about your enemy, Aubrey also told us that he's from the aristocratic party."
"The aristocratic party …"
"At present, the aristocratic party is led by the Spade family. They represent the interests of the traditional aristocrats in the empire and are fighting openly and secretly with the royal party. The reason why the Rosa d 'Oro is unlucky is that the Rosa d' Oro has chosen the royal party, and the aristocratic party is afraid."
"The Spade family!"
Fiona clenched her fists again. Finally, besides reviving the Rosa d 'Oro family, she had a new goal to fight for!
"Don't worry. Sooner or later, you'll have a chance to take revenge."
Tang En held Fiona's fist and pressed it down. "But now, we still have to take it step by step."
"Got it."
Seeing that Fiona's emotions had returned to normal, Tang En breathed a sigh of relief. Then he took out a pen and paper from the side and began to draw. He was drawing the floor plan of the shop.
"This is the floor plan of the shop. Although it used to be your family's business, I guess you're still young and may not know, so you'd better take a look."
Tang En explained briefly, then looked at Fiona. "Do you have any ideas about this shop?"
Fiona pondered for a moment and said, "The area is very large. I don't know how my family used to run it, but for our Datang Chamber of Commerce now, this is a good opportunity … There are four floors in total, but our current products don't need such a large area. This is a problem."
"Go on."
"If it were me, I would either expand our business scope and improve the variety of products, or go for the premium product route and concentrate on my own products. As for the other places, they can be divided into warehouses …"
Tang En laughed. Although Fiona was a genius, she was still limited by her vision and experience. She still couldn't jump out of the circle.
Fiona noticed Tang En's smile and said coquettishly, "What's wrong?"
"You're right, but your idea is still too conservative."
Tang En laughed and then told her his idea.
"Look, this is the area on the first floor, and this is the entrance. We can divide it into several areas …"
While Tang En was explaining his idea, he also briefly explained the concept of hypermarkets on Earth to Fiona. Fiona was attracted by Tang En's novel idea as she listened. What supermarket model, self-selection and self-purchase, brand platform … These concepts that she had never heard of before opened the wings of her mind, and she immediately came up with many new ideas.
That's right, what Tang En conceived was a hypermarket!
My product range is too small? That's not a problem. I can make the Datang Chamber of Commerce into a platform, and then sell other people's products!
There are four floors in total, and the utilization rate is too low?
That's not a problem. I'll give the customers an elevator when they enter and send them directly to the entrance of the hypermarket on the fourth floor. Then, I'll force them to walk from the fourth floor to the first floor, which is the exit …
Tang En had a deep understanding of the shamelessness of hypermarkets on Earth. Even if you don't want to buy anything, once you go in and walk around, you will have a lot of things in your hands …
If you plan to go in and buy something that costs 100 yuan, you might end up spending 200 yuan when you come out. This is the invisible horror of hypermarkets!
Coupled with the promotion and discount activities during the holidays … Oh, hehehe …
Soon, the people of Prandal will personally experience the horror of being dominated by hypermarkets …
Hypermarkets will unknowingly take out all the gold coins in their pockets, but what about Tang En? He will just sit back and wait for them to shout "Stop taking money!", and then he will personally hand over the gold coins …
After listening to Tang En's explanation, Fiona's eyes lit up. She said with a look of amazement, "The idea you said is simply a genius idea! I'm sure that this Datang Department Store you said will become a new business model in the future! "
Tang En smiled proudly.
"But, Sir Lord, you seem to have overlooked an important factor."
The smile on Tang En's face froze.
Fiona said with a strange look, "Although it's true that businessmen adhere to the means of small profits and quick turnover, more than 90% of the wealth of the Empire is in the hands of the aristocrats. You should know that, right?"
"This …"
"Yes, your idea of a department store can be said to be epoch-making, but … if people don't have much money in their hands, how many people are willing to go to the department store to spend money?"
Tang En's forehead was covered in cold sweat.
Fiona spread out her hands, "I'll put it bluntly. Even if you sell a thousand pieces of soap to a thousand civilians, the profit is not as much as the profit of selling an air conditioner to a noble … What's more, in a place like Alinx, doing business with the aristocrats is much cheaper than promoting soap among the civilians."
Fiona shook her head, "So, your idea is only suitable for the situation where people are very rich. I'm afraid that the effect now is very ordinary."
"Then let's change the method?"
Tang En was embarrassed. He didn't expect that the idea that he came up with with great difficulty would not be used …
The hypermarket model that had been developed for so long on Earth was actually despised by the Prandal natives. This was really embarrassing!
"No, Sir Lord, the model you said is very good. We can use it, but we need to change it slightly."
Fiona stared at the drawing, and after a moment, pointed to an area on the first floor and said, "Sir Lord, I suggest that this area on the first floor be drawn separately."
"Oh?"
"What do the aristocrats need? What they need is to be different. Entering the hypermarket with the civilians to buy things? It's an insult to them, so we have to separate these two kinds of customers in advance. "
Fiona said with assurance, "After the civilians enter the hypermarket, they can freely buy and sell goods, while the aristocrats don't need to enter. They can directly come to this area. This area will be set as a special reception area for aristocrats, and we will find someone to be responsible for receiving them. What do you think?"
Tang En looked at Fiona with a stunned expression. Is this girl really a Prandal native? Her brain works really fast!
"Sir Lord?"
"Yes, what you said is very good. Let's do it."
Tang En smiled, "Moreover, your plan coincides with one of my previous ideas. It can be perfectly combined."
"Oh? What idea? "
"This."
Tang En took out a stack of crystal cards.
"What is this? It shouldn't be a crystal card from the Star Diamond Bank, right? "
"Of course not, this is an idea that I suddenly thought of."
Tang En said shamelessly, "A tiered membership system. I think that under this system, the loyalty of our aristocrats will be greatly increased, and they will rush to send us gold coins …"
Fiona was stunned, "A tiered membership system … What is that?"
"Simply put, it's equivalent to a glorious membership. Only with membership can you buy some rarer things, such as armor and weapons made by the dwarves, handicrafts from the elven kingdom, and so on …"
Tang En smiled very strangely, "And the promotion of membership is also very simple … Charge money, the more QBs you charge, the stronger you are … Ah! I mean, the more gold coins you spend, the higher the membership level … "
