Chapter 381: Don't Be a Substitute for the Twins 23
"I don't know if he fainted from the high fever. Before he died, he yelled and said that the Lu Changming in Yong'an Marquis Mansion was fake. He also called your name and said that you were his real brother."
"He also said that it was Xiao Keyan who harmed him, and that he wanted to destroy the Xiao Kingdom and kill all the royal family members of the Xiao Kingdom."
Wen Chang described with great interest the appearance of Lu Changze before his death.
Maybe Lu Changze discovered something before falling into the lake, but no one would believe what he said. Now he is dead and will never have the chance to speak again.
Yun Yi listened to Wen Chang's words. Why did he feel that Lu Changze had awakened his memories of his past life before he died?
Xiao Keyan promised him that he would never tell anyone that he was the real Lu Changming, so there was no way Lu Changze would know.
And in the plot, after conquering the Xiao Kingdom, Lu Changze really killed all the royal family members except Xiao Keyan. Yun Yi knew that was not just his boasting after being confused by the high fever.
But it doesn’t matter. Even if he awakened his memories of his past life, it was too late and there was no time for him to make any changes.
"I have already found a location for the shop. I hope Your Highness can help me after it opens." Yun Yi changed the subject.
"Of course. I'll let the princess go and choose it herself then." Wen Chang said with a smile.
He also gets a share of the profits from Yun Yi's jade shop, so of course he has to promote it more.
Different from other shops selling finished jewellery or jade, Yunyi's jade shop focuses on novelty.
Masters who are good at jade carving and making are arranged in the box to select jade materials on the spot, discuss the style of jade and then make it, ensuring that each piece is unique.
In addition, Yun Yi also plans to put a bunch of raw materials in the shop. As long as the purchase of jade reaches a certain amount, you can personally select the raw materials as gifts. The main purpose is to provide an unexpected surprise.
Stimulate adrenaline and then get satisfaction in the shop, so there will naturally be no shortage of repeat customers.
Of course, those raw materials have been selected by Yunyi, and we can ensure that most of them contain jade. We also promise that if there is no jade after opening, you can continue to select until jade is found.
Wen Chang found Yun Yi's business methods very novel and he became interested just by listening to them.
How much money can ordinary people have? Instead of trying to find a few small things from them, it is better to focus on the rich.
What the capital city lacks the least is rich people. Be they royal relatives, merchants or gentry, who isn't wealthy?
As long as they can arouse their interest, money will surely flow to them like water.
After choosing the location for the shop, Yun Yi started to work on the decoration.
Since you have decided to go for the high-end route, the decoration naturally cannot be stingy.
It is grand and elegant at the same time, and through Wenchang's channels, it has found several celebrities to customize calligraphy and paintings for the shop.
Ensure that the style of each box is different, and strive to give guests the best experience.
No matter how big or small, we strive to ensure that every detail is perfect.
After working hard for more than two months, the shop was finally decorated.
An auspicious day was chosen and the "Yuyun Store" was officially opened.
After the opening, everyone was very interested in the novel model, but ordinary people would never buy jade, and those who had a little money were scared away when they heard the high price.
This has created a situation where 'many people come to inquire, but very few people buy'.
And this situation has been maintained, and the imperial concubine's birthday banquet was held in the palace.
The Imperial Concubine and the Fourth Princess attended the event in their best attire, wearing one-of-a-kind jewellery made entirely to their hearts’ content.
There is also the jade sculpture of a fairy lady paying birthday tribute sent by the Fourth Prince. Although it looks like a common fairy lady, the one sent by the Fourth Prince seems to be unique and innovative. If you look closely, you can see that changes have been made in the details.
The one who made this change was the jade carving master from "Yuyundian".
With the Imperial Concubine's birthday banquet being a perfect occasion to sell goods, the shop was welcomed with many people coming to inquire about the goods as soon as it opened the next day.
The dozen or so jade masters who had been resting since they were hired finally had a busy time.
Whether it was jewelry or various jade articles, the masters were all adept at making them, and soon the Yuyun store was packed with customers.
Wen often saw this situation and finally understood why Yun Yi had been so calm in the past few days.
He must have guessed long ago that there would be many guests after his mother's birthday banquet.
All the marketing methods that Yun Yi had seen in later generations could be completely crushing if they were used a little bit here.
Since the imperial concubine's birthday banquet, the shop's business has gradually improved.
In order to maintain some old customers, Yun Yi would have someone make a batch of jade wares and send them to their homes as limited editions during festivals, and these limited editions would not be produced again.
Over the past three years, the jade shop's business has become more and more prosperous, and the number of jade masters stationed in the store has reached thirty.
Seeing that he could no longer afford it, Yun Yi began to prepare to open a branch. However, just when the store was ready for opening, the old emperor died after being bedridden for three months.
In the national mourning, all entertainment activities in Wen State were stopped, and Yun Yi could only postpone the opening.
A year ago, Wen Chang was made the crown prince. At this time, the old emperor passed away and the crown prince ascended the throne. There were some unusual movements in the meantime, but they were quickly suppressed.
After Wen Chang ascended the throne, he began to implement a series of policies.
The process from policy issuance to implementation to visible results is extremely slow.
In addition to policies, Wen Chang began to deal with those so-called noble families who only received salaries but made no achievements.
A new official has many things to do when he takes office, not to mention that Wen Chang has ascended the throne as emperor.
The first to be attacked was the Yong'an Marquisate. Without anyone making any mistakes, the Lu family's hereditary marquisate was directly stripped away.
At this time, Marquis Yong'an was already seriously ill. Lu Changming, the only heir of the Lu family, not only did not resist, but knelt down to express his gratitude.
Seeing him act like this, other noble families did not dare to step out and could only passively accept the demotion of their titles.
But these have little to do with Yun Yi.
After the three-month national mourning period, the branch officially opened.
As Yun Yi's business grew, many people became jealous and wanted to cause trouble.
There are some brave ones who come here openly to cause trouble.
"Boss Yun, business has been good recently."
Yun Yi had a smile on his face and his eyes fell on the sloppy man.
He knew this person. He was the nephew of the current empress dowager and the cousin of the current emperor. His name was Song Mang.
