Chapter 206 Why Are You Here Again?
After collecting the debt owed by the Kadir family, Tang En immediately contacted Old Tom and settled the debt for the house purchase.
He took out the remaining one million gold coins again. Seeing those shiny gold coins being taken away by Tang En, the manager of Star Diamond Bank, Galian Baotan, was really pained to death.
At the same time, it also strengthened his determination to apply to the headquarters to open an Ellington branch as soon as possible.
Then everything seemed to calm down.
Overall, Tang En's promotion strategy in Yalinks was very correct.
His membership card system also became an instant hit.
Although he has not yet disclosed more meaning and value of the membership card, just the 10.5% discount on purchasing goods is already very attractive.
After all, the items in his shop cost thousands of gold, and they are all very useful and attractive, which makes the nobles want to stop. The 9.5% discount price is not a lot, but if you buy more, you will save a lot of money. funds.
What satisfies these nobles the most is that this so-called price saving is not something they bargained for, but comes from a "unique and noble" guest status. Yes, Tang En has given the membership card a kind of Unique and rare status, this discount is considered an honor by nobles, not stingy misers.
They are not fools. Of course they are happy to save money. Normally they have to pretend to be fat. Now that there is such a reasonable and reasonable opportunity to save money, not only will they not be embarrassed but they will also get honor points, of course they will not let it go.
The honor points consumed, combined with the hierarchy, became Tang En's weapon against these nobles.
The hierarchical system gives them a more obvious sense of comparison. A high-level membership card is better than a lower-level membership card. It is a simple matter of judgment. And the most insidious thing about him is that he separates the members of each level. There is a limit on the number of people. Once it is full, the number of people will not be increased unless there is a special review and nomination.
In order to increase the appeal, Tang En specially presented two eight-star membership cards to Aubrey and Adrian, which is the level second only to the nine-star membership card. He also let the news out. As soon as he heard about the two Dukes, They are all eight-star members of the Tang Dynasty Chamber of Commerce. Those nobles from the royal family have gone crazy. In order to seize the quota of high-level members in advance, they have been buying products in Tang En's store like crazy these days.
On the other hand, on the Aristocrat side, although there are many people who come to buy things and become members, they are just ordinary "customers" and are not enthusiastic about becoming senior members.
They want to draw a clear line with Tang En.
It's a pity that they don't know at all. Apart from the two apparent leaders of the aristocratic faction, the Spader family and the Kadir family, Tang En still doesn't know who among them is from the aristocratic faction.
Thanks to the offensive of the membership system and the use of the two Dukes to build momentum for themselves, the Tang Dynasty Chamber of Commerce became popular, and it became a mess in Asia.
Such hot sales have attracted the attention of the Business Alliance. They are not fools. Although the success of the Datang Chamber of Commerce cannot be copied, some things can be learned.
They immediately discovered how significant this so-called membership card system was in increasing customer loyalty and stickiness.
Although the member discount price will sacrifice some profits, sacrificing some small profits can bring more long-term and loyal customers. Why not?
This is simply a genius idea!
Tang En, who could come up with this method, is obviously a rare business genius!
The business alliance that discovered this immediately sent an invitation letter to Tang En.
Tang En took a sip of tea and handed the invitation to Hilton: "What do you think of this invitation?"
Now they have moved out of Aubrey and have moved into a new house at 77 Queen Street in the aristocratic district.
"Business Alliance..."
Hilton pondered for a moment: "The Golden Rose family was also one of them back then, and was even a member of the Alliance Committee."
"Oh? How about this organization? Is it really like they say, united to seek interests and status for businessmen?"
"That's right."
Hilton explained: "At least the Business Alliance at that time was a neutral organization and did not participate in the struggle between the royal faction and the aristocratic faction."
"Ah."
Tang En sneered: "Do you believe it?"
Hilton shook his head.
"It's okay if you don't believe it. The operation of capital is often inseparable from the struggle for power. The importance of taking sides is almost more important than the correctness of the investment."
Tang En curled his lips: "The Golden Rose family fell so quickly. I'm afraid the business alliance also contributed a lot to it."
Hilton was silent. She had actually suspected this a long time ago, but it was just a whisper, so it was useless to say it out loud.
"Okay, it seems we need to meet with this business alliance."
"You decided to go?"
"Of course, how could we let go of such a good opportunity to find out information?"
Tang En said with a smile: "Anyway, Fiona, you are helping me build my territory like this, and it is my duty to dig out your enemies and avenge them."
"Lord Lord."
Hilton chuckled and said, "You should tell Miss Fiona this..."
"Ah? Why?"
Tang En was startled for a moment and shook his head: "Forget it, get ready and go to the appointment tonight."
"Okay...wait? You want me to accompany you? I think Miss Elsa is better?"
Hilton frowned slightly: "After all, I am a civilian. Although the people in the Merchant Alliance are all businessmen, they are at least small nobles now. It is not convenient for me to go. Miss Elsa is the granddaughter of the Grand Duke. Her going will definitely make them take you more seriously.”
"I won't go to that kind of occasion!"
Before Tang En could speak, Elsa waved her hands and shook her head: "A few days ago, my grandpa took me to meet his friends and asked me to change into that kind of dress... I hate wearing that kind of dress the most! And those people, a Everyone laughs so hypocritically, I won’t go, I definitely won’t go!”
Tang En shrugged: "I didn't plan to take you there in the first place. They are probably full of human beings. You are so stupid. I can't take you there without being deceived."
Elsa blushed and defended without confidence: "I-I'm so stupid...I-I'm just too lazy to think..."
"Hey, this is the first time I've seen someone describe stupidity in such a refreshing and refined way...ah! Don't hit me!"
Elsa was so angry that she waved her little fists and tried to fight Tang En. Tang En immediately held Ilia in front of him as a shield.
"Sister Elsa..."
Ilia looked at Elsa with tears in her eyes, with the remains of pastry still on her mouth. Nora on her shoulders looked exactly like her. The two cute creatures, one big and one small, stared at her with big eyes. This fist There is nothing I can say to get out.
"L-Lord, you are too cunning!"
Elsa pursed her lips and stared at Tang En angrily.
"hey-hey……"
Tang En laughed.
"Lord, don't make trouble, let's get down to business."
Hilton said helplessly: "No matter what, it is impossible for me to accompany you to this banquet tonight."
"Then... I'll go back and bring Fiona here?"
Tang En rubbed his chin: "If it's Fiona, she should be very good at handling such situations, right?"
Hilton smiled and said: "Of course, after all, the young lady has been studying hard in order to revive the Golden Rose family."
"Okay then, I'll go back."
"But," Hilton spread his hands, "do you think the lady can leave now?"
Tang En was stunned. Ellington was very busy now, and Fiona was also busy from morning to night. She had no time to leave there, let alone attend a meaningless party.
"Okay, that means I can only go alone tonight?"
Tang En couldn't laugh or cry. After all, he was a lord and the boss of the Tang Dynasty Chamber of Commerce, but he was reduced to attending a banquet alone. Those nobles would probably laugh at him, right?
"You can take Miss Ilia with you."
Hilton said with a smile: "There are usually a lot of delicious food at the banquet. Miss Ilia will be very happy."
"would not!"
Ilia shook her head hurriedly: "Ilia is not such a greedy person!"
...Before you say this, can you put the desserts you are holding back on the plate?
Even Nora, you two can grab it! ?
At this time, Tang En suddenly froze and looked at the window with a strange look on his face.
Hilton also looked over, and the afterglow of the setting sun slanted into the room from there. The golden light spread on the ground, and he could also see the glorious castle in the sunset in the distance.
Hilton nodded and praised: "It's a beautiful picture."
"It's beautiful, but..."
Tang En gave a strange smile: "Miss Ye Ge, can you put down the dagger in your hand? I have a child here, and I don't want her to see blood."
"Song of the Night!?"
Hilton was shocked: "Where!?"
As a businessman, Hilton is certainly afraid of thieves.
"Your reaction is quite sharp. Are all wild mages such powerful people?"
The air next to the window fluctuated, and Alleria, who transformed into Night Song, appeared in front of them again.
"Are you targeting me?"
Tang En blinked: "To be honest, my income is really not as good as those of the big nobles, and I still have so many residents in the territory to support. Let's discuss it. Can you steal from others? I think Kadir The Duke is a good target.”
"Let me steal Duke Kadir?"
Ye Ge said angrily: "Why don't you let me commit suicide?"
Tang En looked at Ye Ge with interest: "No, I feel very strange. What gave you the courage to appear in front of me again?"
"I originally wanted to repay you for your ruthless behavior last time, but I didn't expect to hear something interesting."
"My heartless behavior?"
Tang En smiled: "I tied you up and locked you in a box, and you were able to escape in front of hundreds of people... You also said that you had no choice but to take refuge in my store? Are you stupid or am I? stupid?"
Ye Ge was speechless.
"Although you tried to pretend to be pitiful and get into me, I will not be stupid enough to give you a chance to attack us. That money is very important to us."
Tang En stood up, his eyes gradually becoming sharper: "So I'm sorry this time, Miss Yege, you may really have to go to jail for a while."
