Chapter 930 Business Experience
Chapter 930 Business Experience
"Amazing!"
After reading the reconciliation results sent by the female official, she found that the results were exactly the same as the dividend details she received the day before, which were written in children's crayons. Queen Veronica couldn't help but look up and looked at Melanie in front of her with an incredible look on her face.
"You didn't even get a single number wrong... And isn't your rate of return a bit too high? The companies I invested in with the royal family's money only earned about 40% of the large transactions with the North. How could you almost double it in one go?"
“This is still too low!”
Facing her sister-in-law and the biggest financial sponsor at the moment, Melanie snorted, raised her shiny nose, and said with a little pride:
"Sister-in-law, the company you invested in is mainly engaged in the supply of materials. Making money is not the biggest goal. But it's different for me. If I didn't have enough money to hire so many people and take so many orders, maybe I could increase it by more than 50%!"
It can actually increase by another 50%?
After hearing Melanie's words, Veronica, who was originally more inclined to coax the child, couldn't help but raise her eyebrows slightly, and a hint of genuine surprise appeared in her eyes.
Although the so-called "dividends" provided by Melanie can only be regarded as children's play, which is not worth mentioning compared to the wealth in her hands, and is not even a drop in the bucket, the return rate of this "investment" is indeed astonishingly high.
Even her own female official said after seeing it that although this girl's "operation" method was clumsy, her vision was very good. Even if she was in the same situation as Melanie, if she did not use the power in her hands to find loopholes, the benefits she could probably get would be like this.
And if what Melanie said was true, and this child was confident that she could make an additional 50% on top of the current profits, then wouldn't that mean that her ability in this area was comparable to or even surpassed that of the female officials that she had carefully trained?
"Tell me about it?"
After staring at Melanie's smug expression and vaguely feeling that she was not aimless, Veronica couldn't help but become interested. She extended her little finger and smiled as she made a pinky promise:
"First, tell me how you earned twice the return rate. I'm very interested in this. If you can increase your investment by another 50% on the current basis, I'll double my investment in you next time!"
"it is good!!!"
Facing the sponsor's proposal for follow-up investment, Melanie immediately became excited. She quickly stretched out her soft little finger, hooked it on Veronica's little finger, and tried hard to stamp it with her thumb. Then she said confidently:
"When I was called to the office to get... ahem... help from the loving heart, I saw the newspaper on Teacher Victor's desk and learned that you, sister-in-law, had issued an order to move most factories out of the city.
Especially those factories that are noisy and smelly, they must be moved to the industrial areas outside the city. There happens to be such a factory at the end of Shipbridge Street where I live, so it must be moved as well. "
"not bad."
After nodding slightly to show her approval, Veronica blinked and asked:
"But does this have anything to do with you borrowing money to buy fluorescent agents and bulbs and find someone to assemble those light boxes and signs?"
"It's a big deal!"
Melanie wrinkled her nose and said with a matter-of-fact expression:
"The Bridge School is the best school in the old city. It is also one of the best schools in the new city. There is a large flow of people every morning, evening and noon... Sister-in-law, don't you think there is something missing around the Bridge School?"
What's missing?
Princess Veronica thought for a moment after hearing this, and then answered with some understanding:
"Commercial Street?" "Yes!"
After nodding her little head, Melanie looked up and said with sparkling eyes:
“With so many people passing by every day, there should have been a commercial street a long time ago, but there is a factory at the end of the street that operates from time to time. Not only is it noisy and emits black smoke every day, but it also occupies the area with the most traffic.
This factory drove away people who might have bought things, and occupied a spot suitable for parking horse-drawn carriages, forcing many people to go around the other half of the street to park their carriages, and not to go through the Bridge Street at all. Without people, shops naturally cannot be opened. "
I see……
After recalling the scene she saw when she came here, especially the old factory site that had been converted into Charles Department Store, and the carriages parked diagonally opposite, Queen Veronica could not help but nodded in agreement, and then said with approval:
"So whether it's a newly opened shop or a renovated storefront after attracting customers, you have to make signs and the like. So you found a classmate at home who makes signs, ordered a batch of materials in advance, and then asked me for people to set up a temporary small workshop?"
"It's a company! A company that makes a lot of money every day!"
"Good, good, company!"
After hearing the name of the company full of regrets, Veronica couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth slightly, but then she held it back under Melanie's angry gaze, and then said with a smile:
"I know what happened next. You gave away the recently popular light box signs for free to several shops near the street corner. Fortunately, the shops you chose were doing very good business, so your light boxes..."
"It's not a blessing!"
Melanie was a little unconvinced when she heard this:
“I took people to investigate those stores. Although those stores were not doing well before, it was just because there were not enough people. There was no problem with the products themselves.
Moreover, their location is very advantageous. When people who come in from the street corner reach their store, they are either tired of shopping or have visited several stores and have compared prices, so they will buy something naturally.”
"So once their business picks up, more people will buy your light boxes."
After she finished the last sentence for Melanie, Veronica clapped her hands and said with a smile:
"Great, great! I underestimated you. So, do you have any other ideas to increase the profit by another 50%?"
"I could also take William to the public school at night and secretly water the hinges of the north gate."
"???"
"The hinges of the north gate are very old, and the waterproof paint has long been peeled off. The gatekeepers of the public school are lazy and only remove and lubricate the gate once every six months. So if we water it for a few days, the north gate will be completely rusted. No matter which direction the parents come from, they will have to go around to the main street to pick up their children."
After explaining her method, Melanie hummed with regret as Veronica looked at her in confusion:
“The gate of the public school has not been changed for 70 or 80 years. To repair it, it needs to be completely dismantled. It is estimated that it will take at least 10 days to half a month. During this period, seeing the number of people increase several times, more people will definitely decide to change the sign.
That is, I don’t have enough money to handle so many orders, and the shop owners who can’t wait in line will go find someone else, otherwise we will definitely make more money this time!"
