Chapter 71 Membership Card
Ying Wuyou was naturally unaware that at this very moment, Gao Jianli had already been sent by the King of Qin to meet his friend Jing Ke.
Having just finished dealing with the affairs of the restaurant, Ying Wuyou immediately threw himself into several important matters to discuss with Fusu.
Ying Wuyou first spoke with each of the hundred guards, and after careful interaction, she roughly understood their personalities, temperaments, and areas of expertise. Then, she decisively dispatched forty of them to Longxi County and the Bashu region to search for gold mines; at the same time, she sent another twenty guards to the Chu region to search for sugarcane.
Next, Ying Wuyou began decorating the shop that Fusu had found. After all, this was going to be the location of Qin's first bank, so the decor had to be befitting its status!
Money shops are places where people deposit money, so they not only need to be decorated in a simple yet grand style, but also need to give people the feeling that they are wealthy. For a money shop, the most important thing is to have well-designed windows to separate customers outside from staff inside, in order to prevent personal injury or other accidents to the staff. In addition, money shops need to ensure the safety of funds, so basements and vaults require special design and enhanced security measures; these are all crucial aspects.
To ensure everything went smoothly, the craftsmen worked diligently on renovations inside the shops during the day, while Fusu and Ying Wuyou, along with a few trusted confidants, secretly excavated an underground vault at night. Ying Wuyou had extremely high requirements for the vault; it not only had to be grand in scale but also impregnable. Therefore, while the shops above were already finished, the basement for Ying Wuyou and his entourage remained unfinished.
After more than a month of arduous digging, Ying Wuyou finally felt it was acceptable. The next step was to reinforce it with cement, applying a thick layer of cement to the walls of the basement before sealing it off, leaving only a secret door for one person to enter and exit. The location of this secret door was precisely the room that Ying Wuyou had deliberately reserved for storing gold and silver.
After completing these preliminary preparations, the next step was to prepare the staff. Given the crucial importance of the money exchange, Ying Wuyou and Fusu each carefully selected five trustworthy individuals to form the staff team. Next, Ying Wuyou personally oversaw the training of the staff. Meanwhile, Fusu tirelessly spread the word, ensuring everyone knew of the money exchange's existence.
After everyone became aware of the money exchange's existence, Ying Wuyou stopped promoting it extensively and instead focused his publicity efforts on the third floor of the restaurant. Everyone had heard of the third floor of the "Number One Restaurant Under Heaven," but knew it was not open to the public. Now, hearing that it was about to open, everyone was curious. However, upon learning the entry requirements, they all shook their heads and sighed, their regret evident.
The restaurant's third floor is reserved for members only, and membership is tiered.
A membership costs 10,000 taels of silver and is for personal use only. Regular members enjoy a 5% discount and benefits including a special gift and discount on their birthday, priority access to dining options, the ability to pre-order food, home delivery, and accumulated points on purchases.
For 100,000 taels, one can become a Silver Card member. Silver Card members can choose their own room, and the restaurant will regularly host events for them. Silver Card members also have priority access to sample new dishes introduced by the restaurant, but these are for personal use only. Silver Card members enjoy a 10% discount, and all other benefits are the same as regular members.
A minimum spend of 500,000 taels qualifies you for a Gold Card membership. Gold Card members have the right to lock rooms; once a Gold Card member has locked a room, that room is exclusively theirs, and no one else can enter without their permission. Furthermore, Gold Card members can use the room as a family, but only family members; friends and other relatives are not eligible. Gold Card members also enjoy a 20% discount. In addition, the restaurant will create personalized menus to cater to their unique tastes. Gold Card members can lock rooms for up to one year. After one year, if spending does not reach 200,000 taels, the locked room will be released. If spending reaches 200,000 taels, the room can be locked again, or another room can be selected for locking. Other benefits are the same as for Silver Card members.
All members can enjoy the benefits of points. Points can be accumulated. When you refer a member to become a member, you will be rewarded with a certain number of points based on the new member's membership level. Points can be redeemed for cash like currency, or for exquisite gifts and discounts, and can also be used to upgrade your membership level.
In addition, all members have the right to a full refund at any time, which will be the full amount remaining on the card, including any points redeemed.
After becoming a member, each person will receive a card. This card, with a watermark, is made by Yingwuyou under the guidance of the system, making it unique.
For all members, WinWorry has also customized a unique badge for each type of member. As long as they have the badge, all of Princess Jiayang's stores will open their doors to priority shopping, and the member's discounts will apply to all of Princess Jiayang's stores.
After the shopkeeper finished explaining all the membership rules, the wealthy people's eyes lit up, eager to try, while the poor people sighed and turned to leave. At this moment, a richly dressed man stepped forward and loudly proclaimed, "Give me a silver card!" Everyone cast envious glances at him.
The shopkeeper asked with a smile, "Sir, are you sure you want to apply for a silver card? It requires a deposit of 100,000 taels of silver."
The man smiled slightly and said, "I have already sent my servant to fetch the money. The silver will arrive in a moment."
The shopkeeper, all smiles, said, "Alright, sir, please come with me to register your information, just in case your badge or membership card gets lost and someone uses it to fraudulently claim your money."
A short while later, a servant drove a carriage at breakneck speed. As it approached, the servant alighted from the carriage and, along with several others, carefully unloaded chests of silver. After the shopkeeper confirmed that everything was in order, he handed the man a gleaming silver card and a uniquely designed badge.
The man, holding the silver card, glanced around smugly before turning and walking into the restaurant. Seeing this, others followed suit, scrambling to get membership cards. In no time, the restaurant was bustling with noise and excitement. Outside, carriages lined up to transport silver into the restaurant.
