Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 2128 The phonograph is out of stock

In the capital, inside Liu Jin's mansion.

Today is the weekend, a day to rest and bathe.

Generally, when he is resting and taking a bath, Liu Jin likes to read books leisurely at home, and occasionally goes out to watch football matches. There are still too few entertainment items in this era, and Liu Jin doesn't like listening to music, otherwise he can go and have a look drama.

Besides, now that he is slowly getting older, Liu Jin doesn't like running around much anymore, so he can just lie comfortably on the master's chair at home.

"If it is placed in future generations, with a mobile phone, it is estimated that lying on the old man's chair can stay for a day."

Liu Jin was tired from reading, so he lay down gently. The master's chair swayed slightly, making him very comfortable.

"Grandpa, grandpa~"

At this time, Liu Jing, the son of Liu Qing and Princess Nanyang, and Liu Jin's little grandson, came over in a childish voice.

"Oh, it's Little Pig, come here and give Grandpa a hug."

Seeing that it was his little grandson, Liu Jin immediately smiled and picked up the little guy.

The little guy usually lives in the princess mansion with the Nanyang princess, and only comes to see him on weekends.

"Grandpa is sleeping late again."

Liu Jing looked at Liu Jin, and said very sternly: "Mom said that people should be diligent and not always sleep late, otherwise they will become pigs."

"Haha, grandpa won't sleep anymore, let's go, grandpa will take you to play,"

Liu Jin laughed immediately after hearing this.

Liu Jin naturally dotes on the little guy.

Although I have many sons and a lot of grandchildren, the only ones who are really by my side are the children of Liu Xin and Liu Qing. The other five sons have all returned to their respective places one after another now, leaving Liu Jin only A family portrait.

"Grandpa, I want to buy a gramophone!"

When Liu Jing heard that he was going out to play, he immediately shouted excitedly.

"Buy a phonograph?"

When Liu Jin heard it, he was taken aback for a moment. The phonograph from the South African colony seems to be very popular now. It seems that he should buy one. It seems that it is very good to listen to music occasionally.

"Okay, let's go and buy a gramophone."

He picked up his little grandson and walked outside.

Here is a commercial bank in the southern district of Beijing. There is a newly listed commercial firm, the South African media firm Daming Branch. When they see this brand, of course most people don't know what this media firm does.

But as long as you say phonograph, everyone will know what it is for at once.

This firm is now a firm specializing in the sale of gramophones that is popular all over the country and all over the world.

At this moment, there was a long queue at the phonograph store that was open to the public. People were waiting anxiously, waiting to buy phonographs.

Ever since Liu Da presented the phonograph to the Emperor of Ming Dynasty when he had an audience with the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, it has spread in the upper class of Ming Dynasty at the fastest speed.

There is a phonograph in this house, and you can listen to songs, songs, and operas at home. This is undoubtedly a great enjoyment in life, especially for the dignitaries in the Beijing and Tianjin areas, sometimes it is inconvenient to go out and show up What, if you can listen to it at home, it is really good.

The gramophone burst into flames.

Of course, it is not only popular in Daming, but also very popular all over the world. The major vassal states, vassal states, colonies, etc. are all very popular.

Even the sale of records has made several dramatists and singers in South Africa popular, and they have become very famous.

"Three gramophones!"

"Sorry, sorry, now one person is limited to purchase one, because our production capacity is limited, so we can only limit purchases."

"Just one, how much?"

"One gramophone for 320 taels of silver, and another record for 2 taels of silver. You can see which records you want. We have many types of records, including singing, drama, and storytelling."

"320 taels a set, why don't you go grab the money, and this record also costs 2 taels a piece, isn't it too expensive?"

Hearing this price, the customers who bought it couldn't help jumping up on the spot.

The price is too expensive!

It's not expensive, it's super expensive!

"The price is indeed a bit expensive, but this phonograph is produced by our South African media merchant, and the quality is absolutely guaranteed!"

"And the reason why it is expensive is because our phonograph has to pay the patent fee to the inventor, and this record is also the same. We have specially searched for the best singers to record alone. The sound quality and singing skills are impeccable. Yes, so the price is naturally not cheap."

"Okay, okay, it's a bit expensive, but it's not bad for this money."

"."

The sales in the store are very strong, although the price of the gramophone is very expensive, more than 300 taels of silver for a gramophone, 2 taels of silver for a record, these are definitely not what ordinary people are willing to buy.

But the most important thing in the capital of Ming Dynasty is rich people. Even with such an expensive price, the sales are still extremely hot.

By the time Liu Jin arrived at the firm by car, the gramophones and records had already been sold out.

"Everyone, everyone~"

"I'm so sorry, so sorry!"

"The gramophones that arrived today are all sold out!"

Lin Qingxi, the manager of the store, looked at the long queue and apologized repeatedly with a helpless smile.

"What's sold out again?"

"Didn't you say 500 units arrived today?"

"How long has it been, and it's sold out all at once?"

"I've been here for a few days and I can't buy a gramophone. Are you still doing business?"

When they heard that the phonograph was sold out, everyone couldn't help shouting.

In order to buy a phonograph, everyone came here early and queued up. Unexpectedly, it was sold out very quickly. Some people even came to line up to buy a phonograph for several days in a row.

"Everyone, everyone!"

"The reason why it is not enough to sell now is because the goods need to be shipped from South Africa. There are only 500 units per day, which is not enough to sell at all."

"But next month, our factory in Tianjin will officially start production, and the output will be high by then, and the quantity will be enough to fully meet everyone's needs."

"In addition, there will still be 500 gramophones arriving tomorrow, everyone can come early tomorrow."

Lin Qingxi also explained with a smile.

In fact, there are still some goods, but we can't sell them all. There are many dignitaries in the capital, and sometimes when distinguished guests come, it is natural that these guests cannot be kept waiting.

So every day he would order people to leave dozens of gramophones specially for a lifetime of unexpected needs.

Of course, those who can buy phonographs are at least rich people, but there is no way, the number of phonographs is very limited now.

The output of the South African factory is simply not enough to supply the global market, so it also invested in the construction of two factories in Tianjin and Songhu in Daming to produce phonographs and records to meet market demand.

Everyone left one after another after listening to it, and at the same time planned to come early tomorrow.

Liu Jin took Liu Jing directly to the gate of the firm in a car.

When the doorman at the gate saw the blue Hanfeng Mercedes, he immediately knew to go forward to greet it.

When he opened the car door and saw Liu Jin, the doorman's eyes lit up slightly, and he hurried to report to the general manager of the branch, Zhao Xiong, and Zhao Xiong, who heard the news, also rushed over in a hurry.

"Duke Liu is here, welcome from afar, welcome from afar!"

Zhao Xiong looked at Liu Jin in front of him.

Although he is older, he looks exactly the same as his boss.

This South African media company is an industry founded by Liu Da. In South Africa, Liu Da not only works in the South African Governor's Mansion, but also learns from Liu Jin and invests in many industries.

Mining, machinery, factories, oil refining, automobiles, etc., are all learned from Liu Jin, and the industries under his command are also extremely large. This South African media firm is also an industry under his command.

Of course, the reason why he can own so many properties in South Africa is closely related to the huge assets left by Liu Jin in South Africa, because in the past, South Africa inherited a huge property and had money in his hands. You can invest, plus the status and influence of the Liu family in the South African colony.

Many things can be done very easily, unlike Liu Jin in the past, when he had to start everything from scratch, but there were many ups and downs in it, and he fought several times with conservative officials alone.

"you know me?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Jin asked with a smile.

"Of course I do. I'm Zhao Erhu's grandson. My father is Zhao Xiaopang who has been following Mr. Liu Da."

Zhao Xiong quickly said: "This South African media firm is also owned by Mr. Liu Da. You have come back to your home."

"Are you Zhao Erhu's grandson?"

"Your father is Zhao Xiaopang?"

When Liu Jin heard this, he immediately widened his eyes slightly and studied, and looked at Zhao Xiong in front of him, he really looked like Zhao Erhu.

"Oh, how have you grown up? I remember you still wore crotch pants when you were young."

"Liu Gong, it all happened when I was a child."

Hearing Liu Jin's words, Zhao Xiong also couldn't laugh or cry. It was too embarrassing to be told that he wore crotch pants when he was a child in front of everyone. Looking at his employees around him, they all wanted to laugh.

Hurry up to welcome Liu Jin in, otherwise I don't know how many scandals in my childhood will be exposed, and I am now the general manager of a branch, so I have to save face.

"Haha, this South African media firm was actually founded by Liu Da?"

In Zhao Xiong's office, Zhao Xiong waited on him enthusiastically, serving tea and pouring water, as if he was a servant of the Liu family.

As a matter of fact, the Zhao family has always been serving the current servants and servants of Liu Jin's family, serving the Liu family with all their heart. Zhao Xiong used to be a driver for Liu Da, and later he also entered the industry under Liu Da's command. After doing things, he was gradually promoted to the position of general manager of the branch.
