Chapter 1858: Chapter 1860: Consider Matters According to Your Position
Yang Chuxia said, "Son, in this world, only the poorest common people are worth sacrificing your own interests for a discount, while the ordinary wealthy households should not be in your consideration. Compared to the impoverished folks, these people aren’t lacking money either."
"People often say that one’s position should dictate their responsibilities. Depending on your status, you should consider different matters. As a prince, your primary concern should be how to relieve the court of its troubles and work for the welfare of the common people. However, as a businessman, you should think about how to achieve more profits at low costs."
Yang Chuxia looked at him again, "Returning to your pricing for this batch of fur, your pricing was quite random. It might have been a fluke that this price happens to be what affluent families can afford. But here’s the problem; this pricing doesn’t reflect a businessman’s mindset. By targeting this customer base, you earn much less than if you were targeting the noble class. Isn’t this quite a foolish mistake for a clever businessman?"
"Mother!" Lele felt embarrassed by her words, hiding his face shyly in Yang Chuxia’s arm.
"My dear son, there’s nothing to be embarrassed about. It’s normal for someone your age not to consider these things." Yang Chuxia consoled him, "When I started doing business, I was older than you, and my business was not as large as yours. By comparison, I wasn’t as good as you."
Come to think of it, that’s true. She’s lived two lifetimes, whereas Lele has only lived one, and he’s still so young. He truly is a business prodigy.
"What your mother said is all correct." Ye Zi’an, who had been listening for a while, said, "In the future, if you have concerns, discuss them with your mother. We are looking out for your best interests."
"Understood, Dad." Lele nodded.
"Alright, it’s getting late. You and Yangyang should go back to rest," Yang Chuxia decided it was time to send the children off, "You need to go to school tomorrow."
"Goodnight, Mom and Dad!"
"Goodnight, dear parents!"
After saying this, the two children held hands and went back.
The next morning, Ye Zi’an was summoned by the Emperor to the palace, but he did not know what he was asked to do.
Once the children went to school, Yang Chuxia dressed in men’s clothing and went to inspect the shop. The shop was small, fortunately situated in a good location. Opening the door to go inside, it was empty with only a few tables placed inside.
Ming Lan, who had also changed clothes, said, "Yesterday, when I was here, the furs were placed inside wooden frames, laid out on these tables for people to choose freely."
This reminded Yang Chuxia of modern-day supermarkets or sale events, where items are piled on tables with discount signs. Such places look messy from the outside, and despite the fur being of good quality, genuinely wealthy people wouldn’t be inclined to buy.
She certainly wouldn’t consider these as herself.
"I remember we have a few racks at home. Tomorrow, have them delivered here. We’ll sort the furs by color and hang each on a rack with price tags, indicating no bargaining."
After making a round, Yang Chuxia said, "We also need to prepare some juice for guests to enjoy while choosing."
After inspecting the shop, Yang Chuxia had it locked up but unexpectedly encountered someone outside.
"Hey, young man, don’t go!"
Yang Chuxia looked at the stranger, "What’s the matter, uncle?"
"Is this fur shop yours?" Unsure of the person’s intent, Yang Chuxia thought for a moment and said, "This shop belongs to a friend of mine. Is there something you need?"
