Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1207

On the [-]th day of the lunar calendar, almost all the factories, workshops, and commercial firms in the Beijing-Tianjin area are on holiday, which makes almost every place in the Beijing-Tianjin area extremely noisy and lively.

After a whole year of busy work, everyone finally has time to come out and have a good rest, to buy some New Year's goods, cloth or clothes, and prepare to go home for the New Year.

Therefore, in the major commercial districts in the Beijing-Tianjin area, there are almost crowds of people, and various shops are also crowded with a large number of people to buy goods.

Zhuque Street has always been the most expensive place in Ming Dynasty, and it has always been synonymous with the rich and powerful in the capital.

A large number of high-end and expensive shops are gathered here, such as jewelry stores, gold and silver jewelry stores, rouge gouache stores, the first bank of Ming Dynasty, antique calligraphy and painting stores, pawnshops, top restaurants, tea houses, expensive Chinese medicine stores, high-end clothing stores, etc. .

These shops are for rich people, and the things they sell are very expensive.

As the New Year approached, Zhuque Street became more lively. Ladies and gentlemen who seldom showed their faces would come here to buy their favorite rouge powder, gold and silver jewelry, jade and jade, accompanied by maids and others.

There are sons who are waving fans and pretending to be literary youths, in groups of three or four, shaking their heads, and there are also masters who are usually very busy, and finally able to rest for a few days at the end of the year, accompanying his wife to go shopping or something.

At the entrance of the Time Store, which specializes in selling watches and clocks, before 8 o'clock, a large number of people have gathered here, all anxiously waiting for the Time Store to open.

Most of these anxiously waiting people are the servants of various high-ranking households, carrying bank notes, and ordered to come to buy watches, but there are also many sons and brothers, and three or five friends, holding fans in the winter , Ready to buy a watch to install a fork.

"Clang~clang~"

Soon, it was eight o'clock, and with the sound of bells, the Time Store finally opened.

"Everyone, everyone~"

"Thank you very much for your support to the small shop. There are a lot of people today, and the reception capacity of the small shop is limited, so please everyone line up. This will facilitate our work and provide you with better services."

When the manager of Time Store opened the door, he was startled when he saw the dark crowd outside. Seeing that everyone was about to swarm in, he quickly stopped them and said loudly.

Hearing the store manager's words, everyone reluctantly started to line up, which soon turned into a long queue winding along Suzaku Street. There were too many people wanting to buy watches.

There are too many rich people in Beijing and Tianjin, and everyone wants to buy a watch to wear, so that it is more in line with their identity and can keep up with the trend of the times.

Inside the time clock shop, the customers at the front of the line hurried in.

"I want to buy this watch from Yujunzi, here is the silver ticket~"

Someone directly took out a large stack of bank notes, and bought a Jade Junzi watch as soon as he arrived, without blinking an eye.

"Okay~"

When the waiter in the store saw it, he immediately shouted happily, quickly counted the bank notes, and ordered someone to fetch a packaged Yujunzi watch.

"Give me a Guoshi Wushuang watch~"

The eyebrows of the person next to him twitched slightly, and he also calmly took out a stack of bank notes.

"I want five Jade Junzi watches~"

Someone was very grand, threw out several stacks of silver bills and shouted.

"Sorry, the store just opened today, so each person can only buy one watch at a time, and Yu Junzi's watch is a limited edition watch, and you can only buy one at a time."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Er hurriedly explained,
"What a broken rule, you can only buy one watch at a time, are you afraid that I have no money, or what?"

When the other party heard this, they were immediately very unhappy.

"My lord, we have no other intentions."

"It's just to allow more people to buy watches. If more watches are allowed, the people behind may not be able to buy watches at all."

The waiter also hurriedly explained, and even said good things, which made the other party have to accept this point, bought a watch of Yu Junzi, and went out cursing.

The voice of the watch shop was very hot, because it had already advertised on the Ming Morning Post in advance, introducing several products in detail.

When customers come to buy products, the waiter in the store does not need to introduce anything, and many of these customers have prepared bank tickets in advance, as soon as they come in, they directly call for the watch they want to buy, pay the bank ticket and leave with the watch. People, before and after is just a few minutes.

"Haha, get rich, get rich!"

In the back hall of the watch shop, Zhu Hou took care of the box after box of bank notes carried in, and his small eyes began to shine.

This money came too fast and easy.

It is just a hand, although it is very laborious to make, there are many parts, and these parts need to be very fine, and the craftsmen who make watches need to undergo strict training and training.

But in the final analysis, these watches are some mechanical products, and their value is very limited.

Now it is sold at a sky-high price, even the cheapest Xuefu Wuche sells for 88 taels of silver, which is a huge profit, faster than stealing money.

Looking at the boxes full of banknotes in the back hall, and looking at the front hall, the sales of watches are still very strong.

Every customer who comes in to buy a watch is obviously prepared. If he wants to buy that watch, he says it directly, and then he pays and leaves.

The banknotes poured in like snow.

"The Jade Gentleman is sold out!"

In less than half an hour, the Yujunzi watch, priced at 8888 taels, was sold out, and the store manager also came to the back hall with a smile on his face to report to Zhu Houzhao and Liu Jinhui.

"It's sold out?"

"This 8888 two-piece watch, if I remember correctly, this store seems to have allocated forty yuan, so it's sold out?"

When Liu Jin heard this, he was slightly dumbfounded, thought for a while and said.

"It's all sold out, do you want to go to another store to transfer the goods?"

The store manager nodded and confirmed again.

"It seems that our price is indeed too cheap. These [-] taels of watches sold for [-] yuan in less than half of them disappeared."

"There are so many rich people!"

Liu Jin also couldn't help sighing.

Originally, I thought that the watch shop on Zhuque Street faced the richest group in Ming Dynasty, and allotted forty Yujunzi watches, but who knew it was sold out within half an hour.

Here in the front hall.

"what?"

"Jade Junzi's watch is sold out?"

A customer wanted to buy Yu Junzi's watch, and when he heard that the watch was sold out, he immediately yelled dissatisfied.

"I'm really sorry~"

"This Yujunzi watch is a limited edition watch, only 99 pieces. The [-] pieces of Yujunzi watches allocated by our store have really been sold out, and there are no more."

"How about, take a look at this Guoshi Wushuang watch. It is also a limited edition. There are still some. If you wait a little longer, I am afraid that this Guoshi Wushuang watch will be sold out by then."

The waiter also replied in an apologetic tone.

"Can this national scholar Wushuang compare with Jade Junzi?"

When the guest heard this, he immediately asked angrily.

"Yes, yes, the guest is right, there is no way to compare."

The child's attitude is also very good, nodding his head again and again.

"Guo Shi Wushuang is Guo Shi Wushuang~"

There is a way to buy it. Jade Junzi is sold out, so I can only settle for the next best thing. The watch of Guoshi Wushuang is also very good.

But within half an hour, Guoshi Wushuang's watch was also sold out.

"Everyone, everyone~"

"I'm very sorry, the two watches of Yujunzi and Guoshi Wushuang in our store have been sold out. If you want to buy these two watches, please pay attention to our store. If there are new watches on the market, we will inform you in time Everyone."

"Now there are only two watches left in our store, Fujiatianxia and Xuefuwuche. These two watches are not limited edition watches. We still have some in stock, but they are not many. If you want to buy, please hurry up."

Watch sales are brisk and fast.

As soon as the Jade Junzi and Guoshi Wushuang watches were sold out, the store manager had to come out and explain to everyone.

The result naturally caused a burst of dissatisfaction. Many people came here because of these two watches. Who knew that in the blink of an eye, these two watches were sold out before it was my turn.

There is no way, although the two watches of Xuefu Wuche and Fujiatianxia are not on the table, they are watches anyway, and they can only be bought back, worn first, and replaced later.

Sales continued to boom.

The watches in the counter disappeared at a terrible speed, even the stock in the warehouse. At eleven o'clock in the morning, there was still a long queue outside, but all the watches in the store had been sold out.

"Everyone, everyone~"

"I'm really sorry ~ all the watches in this store have been sold out, so please stop queuing up, all the watches in this store are sold out."

The store manager came outside, looked at the long queue, and said helplessly.

"It's sold out?"

"Didn't you just say there are still some in stock?"

"That's right, that's right, we've been queuing here in the winter for two or three hours, and now you're telling me it's sold out, aren't you a bully?"

"No, no matter what, we are still selling watches to us today. If we don't get the watches, we won't leave."

"Yes, yes, if you don't leave, it's not a joke. The goods are not prepared enough. What kind of store do you open?"

"..."

The store manager’s words ushered in a burst of dissatisfaction and complaints. The store manager could only smile and explain to everyone again and again that it is indeed out of stock, and will inform everyone immediately when there is stock.

In the back hall of the watch shop, Zhu Houzhao is counting the bank notes.

"Old Liu, make ten thousand gold every day, make ten thousand gold every day!"

"In less than one morning, this store alone sold forty Yujunzi watches, with a total price of more than thirty-five taels of silver."

"We also sold [-] Guoshi Wushuang watches, with a total price of more than [-] million taels of silver. These two watches alone sold almost [-] million taels of silver!"

　Not outrageous~
