Chapter 184

Suddenly, hearing the golden rose family from Donne's mouth, Fiona's eyes immediately became very terrible.

"Foal family!?"

Donne immediately understood what Fiona meant. He shook his head. "It's not what you think."

Fiona put down her pen and paper and looked straight at Donne, waiting for him to continue.

"Do you know you have a godfather?"

“……”

Sure enough, Fiona was at a loss.

"All right."

Donne sighed and said, "your father Edward and o'bury were friends..."

"It's impossible!"

Fiona flatly denied: "although the golden rose family used to be famous, it is still far from the foyer family. How can they be connected?"

"You're too insecure... In fact, it's true."

After a pause, Donne continued, "besides, obery is still your Godfather. He baptized you."

Fiona's face was dull: "Aubrey... Is my godfather? Are you teasing me?"

"Of course not. It's true."

"Then why didn't he save our family!"

Fiona was excited: "with the power of the foal family, it's easy!"

"Fiona, you've lost your cool... You should know that factional struggle can't be explained in one sentence or two."

Donne shook his head: "he knew about the golden rose family, but he and Adrian were outside at that time and couldn't help your father at all. Moreover, it wasn't a day or two for the aristocracy to deal with your family. It was too late when aubury learned the news."

Fiona took a deep breath and tried to control her emotions. She clenched her fist. The hatred that had disappeared was ignited again, and bits of elemental light appeared around her.

"Calm down."

With a gentle wave of his hand, the restless elements dissipated. He said, "with your intelligence, you should be able to understand. When you were a child, why did you survive that tragedy? Why did you live in arlinks later?"

Fiona was silent. Of course, she had noticed that someone had been following her. It was because she noticed that she decided to escape from alinks later.

"How could you have been so safe these years if the people of oberli had not been secretly protecting you?"

Donne patted Fiona on the shoulder. "Don't blame obery. He's done his best."

"I see."

Fiona breathed deeply, "I won't blame him, and I have no right to blame him."

"That's right."

Donne looked at Fiona with great satisfaction: "even if he was your father's friend and stood in the position of family interests, he didn't have enough reason to help you - but he decided to protect you later. He has done very well."

After Fiona's mood stabilized, Donne continued, "in addition, oberli told us about your enemy. He's an aristocrat."

"Aristocracy..."

"At present, the aristocracy is led by the spade family, which represents the interests of the traditional aristocracy within the Empire and is fighting openly and secretly with the Royal School. The reason why the golden rose family is unlucky is that the golden rose family chose the Royal School, which makes the aristocracy afraid."

"The spades!"

Fiona clenched her fist again. Finally, in addition to revitalizing the golden rose family, she had a new goal!

"Don't worry, sooner or later, you will have a chance of revenge."

Donne took Fiona's fist and pressed it down: "but now, we have to do it step by step."

"I see."

Seeing Fiona's mood return to normal, Donne breathed a sigh of relief. Then he took out paper and pen from the side and began to draw. What he drew was the floor structure of the shop.

"This is the floor plan of the shop. Although it used to be your industry, I guess you are still young and may not know, so you'd better have a look."

Donne explained briefly, then looked at Fiona: "do you have any ideas about this shop?"

Fiona pondered for a moment and said, "it's a large area. I don't know how our family used to operate, but it's a good opportunity for our Datang chamber of Commerce... There are four floors, but our goods can't use such a large area at all. This is a problem."

"Continue."

"If it's me, we can either expand our business scope and improve the types of goods, or take the high-quality route and concentrate on our own products. As for other places, they can be divided and used as warehouses..."

Donne was dumbfounded. Although Fiona was a genius, she was still unable to jump out of that circle due to the limitations of her vision and experience.

Fiona noticed Donne's smile and said angrily, "what's the matter?"

"You're right, but the idea is still too conservative."

Donne laughed and told her what he thought.

"You see, this is the area on the first floor. This is the entrance. We divide it into several areas..."

While Donne expounded his ideas, he briefly explained the concept of the earth's hypermarkets to Fiona. Fiona was attracted by Donne's novel ideas, such as supermarket model, self selection and self purchase, brand platform... These unheard of concepts opened the wings of her thinking and immediately generated many new ideas.

Yes, what Donne conceived is a hypermarket!

Too few kinds of goods? Not a problem. We can make Datang chamber of commerce into a platform and sell other people's goods!

There are four floors in total. Is the utilization rate too low?

No problem. When you enter the door, give the guests an elevator, directly to the entrance of the shopping mall on the fourth floor, and then force them to stroll from the fourth floor to the first floor

Donne has long experienced the shamelessness of those big stores on earth. He doesn't want to buy anything. Once you go in and turn around, you will have a lot of things in your hand

Originally planned to go in and buy 100 yuan things, but it may cost 200 yuan out. This is the invisible horror of the hypermarket!

Plus a promotion and discount during the new year's Festival... Oh, ha ha

Soon, people in prandal will personally experience the terror dominated by hypermarkets

The hypermarket will unknowingly take out all the gold coins in their pockets, and what about Donne? They will sit and collect their money, wait for them to shout "shut up and take my money!" and hand deliver the gold coins

After listening to Donne's explanation, Fiona's eyes were bright. She said with an exclamation: "the idea you said is a genius idea! I'm sure the Datang department store you said will become a new business model in the future!"

Donne smiled proudly.

"But, Lord, you seem to have overlooked an important factor."

The smile on Donne's face froze.

Fiona said strangely, "although it's right for businessmen to adhere to the means of small profits and quick turnover, you don't know that more than 90% of the wealth of the empire is in the hands of the nobility?"

"This..."

"Yes, the idea of your department store is epoch-making, but... If people don't have much money, how many people are willing to spend in the department store?"

A cold sweat broke out on Donne's forehead.

Fiona let it be known: "even if you sell 1000 pieces of soap to 1000 civilians, the profit is not as much as that of selling an air conditioner to an aristocrat... What's more, in places like arlinks, the cost of doing aristocratic business is much lower than that of publicizing soap among civilians."

Fiona shook her head: "so, your idea only applies to people who are very rich. Now the effect is just ordinary."

"Let's find another way?"

Donne was embarrassed. Unexpectedly, the idea he finally came up with couldn't be used

It's really embarrassing that the hypermarket model developed on the earth for so long has been despised by the indigenous people of prandal!

"No, Lord, the model you said is very good. We can use it, but we need to change it a little."

Fiona stared at the drawing, pointed to an area on the first floor and said, "Lord, I suggest drawing this area on the first floor alone."

"Oh?"

"What do nobles need? What they need is to be different and go to the mall with civilians to buy things? It is an insult to them, so we should separate these two kinds of guests in advance."

Fiona talked confidently: "after entering the store, civilian guests can freely buy goods, while noble guests don't need to enter. They can directly come to this area, which is set as a special reception area for noble customers. In addition, find someone to be responsible for reception. What do you think?"

Donne looked at Fiona in amazement. Is this chick really a native of prandal? This brain turns fast enough!

"Lord?"

"Yes, you said very well. That's it."

Donne smiled. "Moreover, your plan coincides with an idea I had before. It can fit perfectly."

"Oh? What do you think?"

"This."

Donne pulled out a stack of crystal cards.

"What is this? It should not be the crystal card of Star Diamond bank?"

"Of course not. It's an idea that suddenly occurred to me."

Donne said brazenly: "the hierarchical membership system, I think under this system, our noble guests' loyalty will be greatly increased, and they will rush to send us gold coins..."

Fiona was stunned: "graded membership system... What's that?"

"In short, it is equivalent to a glorious membership. Only with membership can you buy some rare things, such as armor weapons produced by dwarves and special handicrafts from the elf country..."

Donne smiled very strangely: "and the level promotion of members is also very simple... Recharge, the more QB you flush, the stronger... Ah bah! I mean, the more gold coins you consume, the higher the level of members..."
