Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1205, four watches

In the Beijing-Tianjin area, along with clock towers and clock towers telling everyone the time on time, everyone quickly became familiar with this kind of thing. Factories, workshops, commercial firms, shops, schools, etc. also successively launched corresponding and accurate time reports. Schedule of work and rest.

Whenever it is the hour, the sky above the two cities will echo with a crisp bell, reminding people of the passage of time.

For the first time, the people of Daming are truly aware of time and have a concept of time.

At the same time, the watch is a reduced clock tower and clock tower, which is very convenient to carry, and it is very useful to know the time anytime and anywhere, plus the marketing strategy formulated by Liu Jin and Zhu Houzhao.

In a very short period of time, the watch has become something that Daming can only have for the top big shots.

Emperor Hongzhi liked to bring his jadeite watch with him when he went to court, and the ministers of the third rank in the court also carried their watches at all times, and they had to check the time from time to time.

As the saying goes, what is good at the top must be followed by the bottom, not to mention that the role of this clock is indeed great, no matter where it is placed.

All of a sudden, people in the entire Beijing-Tianjin area were begging for watches, and there were too many people wanting to buy watches.

It's just that this watch was made by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Others haven't researched it for a while, and it is difficult to make it, so it is not sold in the market at all.

This made the dignified people in Beijing and Tianjin feel very irritated.

If you go out now, if you don’t wear a watch, your face will be dull. If your friends roll up their sleeves to check the time, and you can only watch from the side, it is obviously very embarrassing.

Some people bid tens of thousands of taels of silver just to buy a watch, and some people asked around, wanting to know the manufacturing process of the watch. In short, in the entire Beijing-Tianjin area, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and the most discussed thing is actually a watch.

As shrewd businessmen, Liu Jin and Zhu Houzhao naturally would not let this situation continue.

Hunger marketing should also have a certain degree. It is enough to hang everyone's appetite almost. If you hang it all the time, the rope will break, not to mention everyone's patience.

Here on Suzaku Street in Beijing, a store is undergoing urgent renovation, and the outside is covered with cloth so that people cannot see what's going on inside.

Inside the store, Liu Jin and Zhu Houzhao are wandering around very casually.

This store named Time is very large and luxuriously decorated. It uses a lot of gold leaf for decoration, plus a lot of glass products, mirrors, etc., giving people the feeling of resplendent and resplendent.

In addition, there are a large number of piano, chess, calligraphy, paintings, famous paintings and famous stickers in the store, which are antique and full of poetry and calligraphy.

Originally, the two are very conflicting and contradictory, but after the design of famous masters, the two atmospheres are perfectly blended together, giving people a luxurious but elegant atmosphere.

"Good, good~"

"That's what it should taste like."

Liu Jin couldn't help but nodded.

For watches, Liu Jin planned to take the high-end and luxury route from the very beginning, and didn't think about making money from the poor.

It is not easy to make money from rich people. In addition to being fashionable and trendy, you have to pay attention to all aspects, and the same is true for store decoration.

Not only to look luxurious, but also to give people a sense of elegance. In this way, when buying a watch, even if the price is more expensive, it is taken for granted. It is easier to buy it, and it can also make customers feel that buying your watch is worthwhile. Because not only are you buying commodities, but also the identity and status behind the commodities.

"Old Liu, how do we set the price of this watch?"

Zhu Houzhao looked at it a little bored.

What's the point of being in this store? It's better to go to the street to show off your watch, maybe you can get one or two people taken advantage of.

"The watches we are about to bring to market are divided into four models."

"One is Jade Junzi made of imperial green jadeite. Each batch of this Jade Junzi watch is prepared for limited sales, and only a very small number of watches are produced and sold."

"Well, the price of each Jade Gentleman is set at 8888 taels of silver!"

When Liu Jin heard this, he introduced it to Zhu Houzhao with a smile.

In business, Liu Jin is of course more proficient than Zhu Houzhao. After all, he traveled from later generations. Since watches are going to take the high-end and atmospheric route, this limited edition method is absolutely indispensable.

Take out a watch, the shape is very similar to the one worn by Emperor Hongzhi, and it is decorated with imperial green jadeite from Burma. In a sunny place, when the light hits the jadeite, it will be green and extremely beautiful.

"Will it be too cheap?"

"At any rate, it's a bit like my father's."

Zhu Houzhao looked at Yu Junzi's watch, thought for a while and said.

"Your Highness, the price is already sky-high, nearly [-] taels of silver for a watch, not many people in Ming Dynasty are willing to buy it."

Liu Jin looked at Zhu Houzhao, and suddenly felt that he was not black-hearted enough.

"The next watch is called Guoshi Wushuang. This watch is also decorated with emerald jade, and it is also sold in limited quantities, but the quantity is much larger than that of Yujunzi. Of course, the price is also lower. The price is 3333 Two silver."

Liu Jin took out another watch, the workmanship is also very fine, and it is also decorated with jade, but it is not the top imperial green jade, but the second-class jade, but it is also an extremely rare jade. It is exactly like the watches that Zhu Houzhao gave to those third-rank officials.

The meaning of Guoshi Wushuang also means that the person who wears this watch will definitely become the Wushuang Guoshi of Daming in the future, the pillar of Ming Dynasty, and the humerus of the emperor.

"Guo Shi Wushuang?"

Zhu Houzhao looked at it carefully, then nodded and said, "You old Liu can only come up with these fancy intestines."

"..."

"Your Highness, I am also doing this for our business."

Liu Jin was speechless, if it wasn't for making money, who would have nothing to do to think about these things.

You can just sit and share the money, but you still say that I am a fool.

"This third watch is called Fusihai. It uses a pure gold strap and bracelet, and is inlaid with gemstones from Ceylon Island for decoration. The price is 888 taels of silver."

"The third watch is called Xuefu Wuche. It uses a sterling silver strap and bracelet, and is inlaid with gemstones from the island of Ceylon. The price is 88 taels of silver."

"These two watches will not be sold in limited quantities. The quantity is large enough, but at the beginning, we still have to limit a customer to buy one at a time, otherwise our supply is not enough."

Liu Jin took out two more watches and introduced them in detail.

In fact, in the final analysis, there is not much difference in the functions of these watches. They are all mechanically timed, but the decoration has been changed.

Emeralds, jade, precious stones, gold, silver, etc. are used for decoration and embellishment, and the prices vary greatly.

This is luxury.

If you really take it apart and look at it, it is actually not worth that much money at all, but when combined together, plus the brand, it will sell for so much money, and the more expensive things, the more people like them, and the people who pursue them more and more.

Are you saying it's weird?
"Jade gentleman, unparalleled national scholar, rich in the world, rich in learning ~"

Zhu Hou looked at the four watches lined up together, his eyes began to light up.

"How much money do you think we can earn in this wave?"

"How do I know, how much money I can make in the end depends on the market's acceptance and recognition."

"However, I guess it shouldn't be a problem to earn tens of millions of taels of silver."

"But I don't intend to just make this wave. Watches can actually be made into luxury goods, and they can be harvested for a long time."

"And making watches can also drive the development of machinery manufacturing and the development of Seiko technology."

"Now the manufacturing technology of watches is still very general, the error is relatively large, and the time needs to be checked frequently, so don't think about just making a wave, but do long-term business and harvest leeks for a long time."

Liu Jin thought for a while and said.

Speaking of this, Liu Jin thought of the luxury goods of later generations. Almost all luxury brands are monopolized by Westerners. Many people say that Westerners have the spirit of craftsmanship.

Shit, what craftsmanship do they have.

A lot of things are OEM and OEM, but they still can't stand that they have mastered the fashion trend, mastered the aesthetics, mastered the brand, and harvested wave after wave of leeks from the global market every year.

Now that the right to speak is in the hands of Daming people, this luxury product is naturally in their own hands. Making luxury goods is a huge profit industry, and it is very profitable.

"Okay, okay~"

"Anyway, you have the final say, I'll just wait and count the money."

Zhu Houzhao smiled and said indifferently, Liu Jin is doing things, he can rest assured that he can just wait for the cashier, there is no need to waste brain cells thinking about these things, and thinking about it is definitely not as good as Liu Jin thinks, if he does well, simply No matter, just wait for the payment.

"The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and it will officially open on the [-]th. We will come here to have a look at that time."

Calculating the time, the new year is coming soon, the eighteenth year of Hongzhi is about to pass, and the end of the year, all major factories, commercial firms, yamen, schools, etc. have already started their holidays.

The entire Beijing-Tianjin area began to be bustling and bustling, and the wealthy Daming people naturally had the most willingness and generosity during the Chinese New Year.

Eat what you should eat, drink what you should drink, and there are the most married wives and daughters.

The watch shop opened before the Chinese New Year, just in time to usher in a wave of peak sales season and cut a wave of leeks.

"Haha, I can't wait any longer, as if I saw countless white silver coins flying towards me."

When Zhu Houzhao heard this, he immediately laughed.

This guy is a money fan now, already very rich, but he still likes money very much.

　Do you think it is feasible?
