Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 144

"Madam, please go slowly, welcome to come next time!"

After being sent off by the waiter in the female shop, Mrs. Dong left Gujinlou dressed in jewels, with a few glass hairpins on her head, a string of glass necklaces around her neck, and a bunch of glass earrings on her ears. , with two glass bracelets in his hand, and a string of glass bracelets in his hand.

The four servant girls in spring, summer, autumn and winter behind him also hold some glass products in their hands, including a set of four treasures of the study made of glass, which Mrs. Dong bought for her husband-in-law.

A complete set of tea sets made of glass and a complete set of wine pots and wine glasses are also used as gifts for your husband. When there are guests at home, it is definitely the best choice to take out this set of tea sets and wine sets.

Of course, the most important thing is all kinds of mirrors made of glass. The full-length mirror is carefully carried by two waiters from Gujinlou, and the dressing table with mirror is also carefully carried by two children. Specifications of small mirrors, cosmetic boxes and so on.

There is also a large glass chandelier, which is too big, so Gujinlou will arrange someone to deliver it to the house separately, free of charge, and the service is extremely thoughtful, meticulous and considerate.

Of course, these big and small things cost Mrs. Dong more than [-] taels of silver, the full-length mirror [-] taels of silver, the dressing table with mirror [-] taels of silver, and the large glass chandelier cost another [-] taels of silver. , plus other mirrors, large and small, the ten thousand taels of silver were gone.

As for the glass ornaments on Mrs. Dong's body, they were all given to Gujinlou for the opening of the event today, and two thousand taels will be given away for purchases of [-] taels. Originally, she was just planning to sell a few large items.

But when he heard that two thousand would be given away for every ten thousand taels, after a little calculation, he continued to lose money, so that he had to let his maid go back to the house again to withdraw money.

Inside the Gujin Building, business is still booming.

Because the store is located in the most prosperous, busiest, and most luxurious area in the capital, the customers who come in are all wealthy people in the capital. At the same time, the Gujinlou opened, and the news that there are mirrors for sale here is also the first time It quickly spread throughout the entire capital, and more and more people received the news, and more and more wealthy people were rushing over.

"Xiao Er, how much is this full-length mirror?"

A handsome young man in expensive clothes kept admiring himself in front of a full-length mirror. The more he admired, the more handsome he felt, and he immediately said to the waiter beside him.

"Young master, this full-length mirror only costs two thousand taels of silver. The store opened today, so the sale is limited to nine pieces. Five pieces have been bought just now, and there are only four left. In addition, today you can get one hundred free when you buy a full-length mirror." You can also send other products worth two hundred taels of silver for free."

Seeing this, the waiter hurriedly replied.

"Only four sides?"

"wanted."

When the young man heard this, he became anxious immediately, bought it without hesitation, and then said to the servant beside him, "Go back to the house immediately to get the money."

"Yes!"

As soon as the servant heard this, he hurried Pidian, Pidian back to get the money. Judging from this posture, he knew that his son was about to prodigal again.

"My lord, would you like to take a look at this dressing table again? This type of dressing table is the most popular dressing table in the capital. It is a must-have item for a wealthy family, and it is perfect for giving to your beloved woman."

"I want it~"

"Sir, would you like to take a look at the Four Treasures of the Study? The pearls are round and jade-like, crystal clear. Whether it's for your own use or as a gift, it's also very good."

"I want it~"

"..."

"My lord, I see that you are an expert in wine research. For wine tasting, you must use the corresponding wine vessel, the so-called red clay stove, green ant fresh roasted wine, grape wine moonlight cup, golden bottle sake It’s worth ten thousand dollars for a bucket, and ten thousand dollars for precious delicacies on a jade plate, that’s what I’m talking about.”

"This set of wine utensils is definitely not to be missed. Today, our store opens, and the sale is limited to twelve sets. It is definitely a bargain. After today, the supply is rare, and there is no discount yet."

"Yes, yes, yes."

Following the recommendation of the waiter in the shop, a middle-aged man with an extraordinary bearing carefully looked at the complete set of wine vessels made of glass. Not to mention crystal clear, the workmanship is also extremely fine, which makes people like it very much.

"Master, would you like to take another look at this set of tea utensils? Also, the sale is limited to twelve sets today, and now there are only five sets left."

"Let's get a set."

"..."

On the third floor of Gujin Building, Liu Jin drank tea very leisurely and looked at the scenery outside. To be honest, the scenery in the capital city is really nothing to see. There is no feasting and feasting in this era, and all the houses are basically gray and black. In addition, they are all very low, far less beautiful than the prosperous cities of later generations.

Zhu Houzhao on the side was a little impatient, and said to Liu Jin beside him, "Go and ask how many are open now."

"Yes!"

As soon as Liu Jin heard it, she immediately went downstairs.

Not long after, he walked up again and said, "Master, it's already more than one hundred thousand taels of silver."

"It's already more than one hundred thousand taels of silver?"

When Zhu Houzhao heard this, his eyes widened immediately, and then a smile filled his face: "Haha, I got rich, I got rich, this time I really got rich, and in less than an hour, I already had one hundred thousand taels of silver." It’s open for business, and if I don’t like anyone in the future, I’ll smash him to death with silver.”

"It's only one hundred thousand taels of silver for almost an hour, which is much worse than I expected."

Liu Jin on the side looked dissatisfied. Originally, Liu Jin estimated that he had been planning for such a long time. On the first day of opening, no matter what, he would have to sell a million taels of silver. Now it seems that he is still It's too overestimated the consumption power of the capital.

"Is it too expensive?"

"Almost an hour has passed, and half of this morning has passed. Calculated today, it is estimated to be a business of [-] taels of silver at most."

Liu Jin muttered in his heart.

"Old Liu, people must be self-sufficient. It is enough to have such a business. The business of hundreds of thousands of taels a day, you must know that our Daming treasury is only more than two million taels of taxes a year."

Seeing that Liu Jin was not satisfied, Zhu Houzhao patted Liu Jin on the shoulder and said.

"Of course I know this, but this is the capital city, where the world's rich and powerful gather here. It's only the first day that this business is open, and it's still a little less than I expected."

Liu Jin smiled and nodded.

"This is already a million dollars a day, so why not be dissatisfied, anyway, the things we sell are not..."

Zhu Houzhao said proudly, before he finished speaking, Liu Jin quickly covered his mouth and said, "Ahem, it's good that we know something, there is no need to say it."

"Yes, yes, good to know, good to know."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Houzhao narrowed his small eyes and nodded repeatedly.

Time is passing slowly.

On the opening day of Gujinlou, Liu Jin and Zhu Houzhao didn't go there, but stayed here. Every hour, Liu Jin would go downstairs to report to Zhu Houzhao on the sales of Gujinlou.

By the time the sun was high, the morning was over. Gujinlou achieved sales of [-] taels of silver in one morning. The rooms behind the shop were filled with boxes of silver, and some of the boxes were filled with silver. Bank notes from the Four Seas Bank.

In the afternoon, Gujinlou began to show its real power.

Because there was an early court in the morning, many real dignitaries in the capital were there. After the early morning court, they learned the news of the opening of Gujin Building, so they hurried over to have a look.

At the same time, more and more people received the news, attracting more people. In the afternoon, Gujinlou became even busier, and the sales also climbed rapidly.

When the sun sets on the western mountain and the lights first come on.

All the goods in the Gujin Building have basically been sold out, and they had to restock from the glass factory again during the period, but they still couldn't stand the frenzy of panic buying.

All of this is naturally brought about by the sales strategy of limited sales and opening discounts. When many people hear that the sale is limited to a few sets, when there are only a few sets left, those who were hesitant will buy them immediately.

"My lord, I've done the calculations. Today's business is worth nine hundred and seventy-eight thousand five hundred and sixty taels of silver."

Liu Jin rushed forward to report to Zhu Houzhao.

"It's still close, just a few tens of thousands of taels and it will break a million."

Upon hearing this, Liu Jin said with a little regret.

　It’s a bit outrageous here, but the real rich in the Ming Dynasty were those dignitaries, landlords, and businessmen. The court was really poor.
