Take a plane to the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 175 Ah Jiu Trading Company
After chatting with Zhang Bing and his wife for a while, Zhu Changyuan took several photos of them with their consent. Of course, they all used old-fashioned cameras.

Zhang Bing and his wife were naturally willing. They thought that the agent Zhu Changyuan was filing for them to help them find their daughter.

In fact, when Zhu Changyuan came here, besides confirming whether Zhang Yan's words were true, the biggest purpose was to take photos.

Giving the crown prince Zhu Cihong chocolate and coke before was not unintentional, but to let the empress know that Zhu Changyuan can return to the modern society to get things.

This kind of thing, I believe that the queen will definitely not say it out of consideration for her own safety and life.

Moreover, once she knew that she could return to the modern society, and she asked herself to help her deliver the message, it would be even more impossible to betray Zhu Changyuan.

After the work was completed, I found a photo studio not far from Sutong City and developed it on the spot.

After waiting for several hours in Sutong City, after getting the photos, he found a hidden place and flew back to his home in the parallel world.

The sun and the moon are like shuttles.

After a few days, Po Lu returned from the sea with Ah Jiu, and went directly to Zhu Changyuan's home.

With two servants, it is different, and life becomes more nourishing.

Everything outside is handed over to Polu to entertain and deal with.In fact, there is nothing, but ordinary visits, purchases, passing information and so on.

As for Ah Jiu, Zhu Changyuan would not let him go out even if he stayed at home every day, even if there were guests at home, he would run to hide in the house and not be able to see anyone.

Zhu Changyuan naturally has his reasons for doing so. In the future, when he cooperates with Xu Ermo to open a store, he must have his own people to participate in and manage it. Ah Jiu is undoubtedly the best candidate.

The purpose of hiding him now is to prevent others from knowing the relationship between Ah Jiu and himself.

When Polu came from the island, in addition to Ah Jiu, he also brought a large amount of gold and silver money as some necessary preparations for Zhu Changyuan before absorbing money in the capital.

Let the Xu family help to purchase a more luxurious large courtyard in private, and leave it exclusively for Ah Jiu to live in.This is part of Zhu Changyuan's campaign for the next business.

During these days, Xu Ermo was not idle, and he specially vacated a big shop for Zhu Changyuan in the most prosperous commercial street in the capital. The reason why he said it was vacated was because this big shop was originally owned by Xu Ermo's grandfather, Gu Bancheng. , It was originally a cloth seller.

Suddenly, there was a new store in the capital that specially sold those strange things, and the news spread quickly as if it had wings.

The interior of the shop is even more brightly decorated, all of which are made according to Zhu Changyuan's design concept, imitating supermarkets in modern society.Of course, it is impossible to make it as modern as a supermarket, but in the eyes of ancient people, it is already luxurious enough.

Everyone in the capital knows that the owner of the shop is a guy named Zhu Jiu. It is said that Zhu Jiu is a foreign businessman who spends all day dealing with foreigners at sea, so everyone is not surprised that he can get strange things.

Naturally, the things sold in Ah Jiu's business are not cheap.No, it can hardly be said that it is not cheap, but expensive, ridiculously expensive.

For example, a lighter costs five hundred cash.

Five hundred renminbi, that's equivalent to the price of a hundred catties of rice. Of course, the common people would not rush to exchange a hundred catties of rice for useless things, but those dignitaries don't think so.

For another example, the toothbrush in Ajiu Trading Company is free, but there is a condition that the toothbrush must be purchased for toothpaste, but a piece of toothpaste is also [-] cash.

Everyone likes glass cups that are crystal clear, and the price of good-looking things is naturally high. Ah Jiu Commercial Bank clearly marked the price of 100 taels of silver, and also limited the purchase of three pieces per day.

These things are not worried about selling. In just one day, less than half of the things in Ah Jiu's firm were sold. Among them, the most popular thing that was sought after by the rich men in the capital was a watch.

It can also be said to be a small clock.

In the Ming Dynasty, clocks and watches had been introduced to China from foreign countries. They were called pendulum clocks, and they used the principle of a simple pendulum. Of course, we don’t care about them.But now that a watch that can be worn on the hand suddenly appears, it has to be surprising.

Moreover, it is said that this kind of clock is surprisingly accurate, and the time deviation throughout the year will not exceed the time of one breath.

How accurate is this.

It's only natural for rich men to pursue it, but this damn Ah Jiu Trading Company only sells one piece every day, and the price is so variable, so that all the rich men raise the price with a sign, and the one with the highest price will win in the end.

Wicked.

Zhu Changyuan himself scolded himself for being immoral, because the price of the clock sold in Ah Jiu Trading Company on the first day had spread throughout the capital: it was sold at a high price of 6000 taels of silver.

Xungui, who didn’t buy a watch, wasn’t too depressed. At least he could buy some other things to go back, such as the crystal clear cup, the strange lighter, the military flashlight, and some things he used, such as shampoo, Toothbrush, toothpaste, etc.

The most important thing is that Zhu Jiu, the big boss of the firm, said: There will be another watch for sale tomorrow, and there will be one every day from now on.

After Polu came back, he told Zhu Changyuan about the situation in the firm. Zhu Changyuan laughed out loud when he heard it, and his heart burst into laughter. There shouldn't be any problem with making money in the future.

Even because it opened on the first day today, the pre-publicity work was done in place, so there is such a large turnover.But even if the store's business stabilizes in the future, it will definitely be extremely hot.

"Now it can be foreseen that the business will definitely grow bigger and bigger in the future. However, Ah Jiu can't handle it by himself, so he has to find a few more helpers for him."

A big shop, except for Ah Jiu, the rest are all servants transferred from Xu Ermo from him. Although there are many servants, they don't understand business.

Besides, although I have more trust in Xu Ermo, who can guarantee that nothing happens?

"My lord, why don't you let me go? I'll help him." Polu didn't have much to do when he was idle at home all day. He either took care of flowers and plants or went out to buy some daily necessities. Sometimes I even have to cook.

In fact, although he didn't complain under Zhu Changyuan's lust, he was already annoyed.

Of course Zhu Changyuan understood what he was thinking, but he shook his head and said, "No, you are my subordinate. Many people know about this. If you go to help Ah Jiu, it will be the same as telling the world that this Ah Jiu firm is special. Is it my Zhu Changyuan's? Use your brains!"

"Uh." Polu bowed and said, "Then, then me."

Zhu Changyuan said: "Okay, tomorrow I will ask Xu Ermo how many servants he wants to take care of the yard, cook and buy vegetables. You don't have to do these things. Just be my bodyguard."

"Thank you, my lord."

"Go, look, I seem to hear a knock on the door outside."

"Yes." Polu ran to the yard, and when he really heard the knock on the door, he asked, "Who is it?"

The people outside said: "I, I am Xu Ermo, is Master Zhu at home, I have something important to report to Master Zhu."

"Oh oh oh."

Xu Ermo is now Zhu Changyuan's partner, and Polu knew about it, so he opened the courtyard door without informing Zhu Changyuan.

When I opened the door, besides Xu Ermo, there was also a tall man in his sixties wearing a square hat.

The man's eyes are piercing, with a square face and a serious face.

"This is?" Polu didn't dare to let anyone enter this door casually.

Xu Ermo said: "This is my grandfather. Is Mr. Zhu at home? My grandfather has something important to discuss with him."

Only then did Polu nod his head, and said, "Young Master Xu, hurry up and come in."

Taking Xu Ermo and his grandfather all the way to Zhu Changyuan's study, he said, "Master, Mr. Xu is here."

Zhu Changyuan went out to greet him, and said: "Master Xu, please come in quickly." Seeing Xu Ermo's grandfather, he was stunned for a moment, observed carefully, and asked: "Is this Gu Bancheng Gu Changzuo who claims to be able to buy half of the Songjiang mansion?" gentlemen?"

Gu Changzuo laughed loudly and said, "I've heard about General Daming for a long time, but today I saw him as an extraordinary person. But I have to correct one point, I am called Gu Bancheng in my hometown. ah."

"Hehe, I made a slip of the tongue, Mr. Gu, please come in, Mr. Xu, please come in."

Bring the two into the room and sit down, make tea and pour it.

Zhu Changyuan said: "I don't know the disadvantages of you two coming late at night, what advice can you give?"

"I can't talk about teaching." Gu Changzuo waved his big sleeves and said, "I have the audacity to come to the general's mansion today. I really want to discuss something with the general. No, I want to cooperate with the general in depth."

"Oh? In-depth cooperation? How to cooperate?" No need to guess that Zhu Changyuan already knew it. I am afraid that this old boy is trying to sell his own goods. Apart from this point, I really can't think of how this wealthy businessman can find him to cooperate.

"General!" Gu Changzuo arched his hands, seemingly calm but couldn't hide his inner excitement, and said, "I don't know how much the general's goods are? Outside of the market in the capital, whether to consider cooperation or not."

really.

Zhu Changyuan remained calm, first thought carefully for a while, and then said: "Actually, Mr. Gu, what Zhu lacks is not money. No amount of money is of much use to me. The reason why I am in the capital Those things are sold to collect other things."

"Oh? I don't know what the general needs? Maybe the old man can help!" Gu Changzuo looked at Zhu Changyuan in surprise.

If it is said that doing business is not for money, then this guy must have a big conspiracy. Perhaps this is just an excuse for him not wanting to cooperate with him.

However, in the eyes of businessmen, everything in this world is tradable. There are thousands of reasons for making a deal, but there is always only one reason for not being able to make a deal, that is, the bid is too low.

　Haha, what, shameless, ask for a monthly ticket, although this thing is useless, but seeing people vote for a monthly ticket every day, it seems angry, isn't it!
