Dreaming Back to Chang'an City 174 Make Xihe Building a Circle
"Brother Cui!"
"Brother Alash!"
Alash and the wealthy businessman made an appointment to meet in front of Xihe Tower in the evening. Through the afternoon conversation, he also learned that the other party’s surname was Cui Ming Yingbo.
"This is a brother of my family!" Cui Yingbo introduced a young man beside him.
Arash didn't care about these things. He was now full of expectations for this Xihelou.
So I just nodded and greeted me, and pulled Choi Yingbo to go in with me.
The two of them checked their membership cards at the door and were invited in.
As soon as they entered the door, the two were shocked by the two large light bulbs hanging on the counter.
This restaurant cannot be seen during the day, but it is different at night.
Tang Ping was covered with solar panels on the roof.
Then, in the middle of each floor, a sun-shaped decoration was made, and a ceiling light was pressed into it, which looked like the sun during the day.
"This Xihe Restaurant is indeed worthy of its name!" The young man surnamed Cui next to them was not surprised, but just nodded in praise.
Then the two were taken upstairs by the waiter, and along the way it was like Liu Laolao entering the Grand View Garden.
Each floor of Xihe Building uses a different decoration style.
The first floor is still ordinary, but it is a little more luxurious.
But when you arrive on the second floor, you will feel a bit primitive. You can see a huge reindeer antler when you go up the stairs on the second floor.
This thing has never been seen by a few people.
You should know that reindeer basically only lives in the north of Eurasia and in the north of North America. At most, there are some in China, north of the Greater Khingan Mountains.
However, in this era, even the Dayan Kingdom in the north had not yet reached the Daxinganling north, so naturally this should be the only one in Chang'an.
Of course, this is actually made of resin, and Tang Ping dared not know the law and break the law and buy it.
But people who see it don’t know, especially the artificial ones are even more exaggerated, and the big antlers make the three of them unable to take their eyes off.
Looking at the entire second floor, the style is more rough. For Cui Yingbo, he may not like it very much, but for Alash, a businessman from the Western Regions, he is too friendly. He even feels like going home.
However, today's party was on the fourth floor, so he just took a quick look and made up his mind to book the second floor next time he decided to book the location.
After going up to the third floor, the style changed again, and the tone of the entire floor turned blue.
This place was made into a marine style by Tang Ping. If the reindeer head was shocked just now, the huge whale skeleton hanging above the entire third floor would be frightened.
But Tang Ping also asked someone to paint some seabed scenery on the wall on one side, and added a sentence: There is a fish in Beiming, and it is called Kun, and Kun cannot be stewed in a large pot!
It’s a bit scary to see here at a glance, but when I look at it again, I also became interested.
The evolution of human beings for tens of millions of years is not for vegetarianism, especially as Chinese people, eating has been carved into the depths of DNA. If Xihelou could really get Kun, then many people would not mind picking up chopsticks.
If the original and rough style on the second floor gives Arash a sense of intimacy, the third floor gives the three of them a sense of conquest.
Yes, what is Kun? So what if it is big? It’s just eaten into a bone-like frame.
In addition to the three-floor tall red coral trees, and the huge scallops like pearls, all make people who come here feel like they are in the underwater world.
Finally, I arrived at the fourth floor, which is also the highest floor that can be built in Chang'an according to regulations.
So the career here is very good. Compared with the two floors downstairs, the decoration seems to be much simpler.
But after careful observation, Arash discovered that this place might just look simple, such as those exquisite jade carvings.
Even if a Western Region merchant like him doesn't get started, he can't tell that it's just a handicraft bought by Tang Ping from Modern Times. He thought it was true.
However, with the financial resources shown by Xihelou, no one suspected that these decorations were all fake.
Those who can go up to the fourth floor today are all diamond members. Those who can come up with a 100-month bank card can be ordinary people.
Many of us know each other, but the real owner has not arrived yet, and many people have started to talk about business together.
Cui Yingbo greeted several people nearby, found a seat with Alash, and then asked casually: "I wonder what business Brother Alash is doing when he comes to Chang'an?"
"I'm just laughing at Brother Cui. I'm just selling some specialties such as wool blankets from my hometown to Dongyue to make some hard money!"
This is obviously modest. How can Cui Yingbo not know the value of Western Regions wool blankets in the eyes of those rich people in the East Yue?
Suddenly his eyes lit up and asked, "As far as I know, there is a chamber of commerce, Anxinsa Chamber of Commerce in Dongyue that specializes in Western Regions. I wonder what it has to do with Brother Arashi?"
"Hahaha, Brother Cui also knows my chamber of commerce!" Alash laughed.
His chamber of commerce is indeed famous in Dongyue, but unexpectedly, someone in Chang'an also knows it, which makes him very proud.
"I don't know if Brother Alash is willing to do business." Choi Yingbo's words made Alash stunned, but he still asked, "What business?"
"Brother Alash transported the east and west from the Western Regions to Chang'an, and then to Dongyue. Not only is the long journey more expensive, but it takes a lot of time. Why not just sell a part of it in Chang'an to me?"
"Sell it to you?" Alash smiled: "What are the benefits of me?"
"Didn't I just say all the benefits?" Cui Yingbo smiled and said, "How much does it cost to transport it from Chang'an to Dongyue? If Brother Alash is willing to use the selling price of Dongyue to subtract the cost of the journey from Chang'an to Dongyue, and sell the thing to me at this price."
"Then Brother Alash was only enough to travel three times a year to Dongyue, but if you took action in Chang'an, your profits have not changed, but you can travel four times a year. Isn't this a huge benefit?"
Alash didn't expect that she would encounter such a thing when she came to have a meal. This is actually the role of some high-end hotels in later generations. Didn't many bosses just negotiate business at such dinners?
What Tang Ping provides is actually a circle, and once these wealthy people in Chang'an get used to such a circle, it will be difficult for the high-end customers of Xihe Restaurant to be snatched away.
"But Brother Cui does this, what are the benefits of Brother Cui?" Alash didn't believe that Brother Cui, whom he just met today, was a philanthropist.
"Because our Cui family is doing salt business between Dongyue and Datang. It is cheaper to go to Dongyue than to you, let alone the way for Dayan. You should know that in the bitter and cold land north of Dayan, the nobles there prefer your wool blankets."
