Chapter 244 Exhibition
"Deputy Director Dong, I heard that there was a fight in the palace because of the new goods sent by King Yan. Read М"
An official's son came to Yang He at this time, cupped his hands and said.
"What?" Dong An looked confused.
"You don't know? The news spread around last night, saying that the things King Yan sent this time were so shocking that the concubines couldn't help but fight for them. They also learned that today you are going to display the latest goods at Donghua Gate, so this All the nobles in the city are here," the young man said.
Then he looked at Yang He next to Dong An and asked, "Who is this?"
"Yang He, the head of Yanzhou Commercial Bank, just returned from Yanzhou..."
"Ah, Mr. Yang, I've admired him for a long time. I've admired him for a long time." Before Dong An could finish his words, the young man approached him flatteringly and asked about his welfare.
Dong An simply went to place the goods with the store clerk.
When a bottle of wine in a glass bottle was taken out, a burst of exclamation immediately erupted from the surrounding area.
"Is this the new product from the palace? What is that transparent thing?"
"It is said that this thing is called glass."
"And the perfume, so beautiful."
"No wonder the concubines are fighting."
"..."
The whispers around him made Yang He slightly proud.
He originally thought he would have to put in some effort to attract people, but now it seemed like he didn't need to at all.
"Deputy Director Dong, please leave me a hundred bottles of this new batch of goods. Money is not a problem." said a man in rich clothes and a big belly. He was a British citizen.
"I want to order five hundred bottles of perfume. You must give it to me first." said a woman with heavy makeup. She was the madam of Yuanyang House.
"I want a thousand bottles of wine."
"Three hundred bottles."
"..."
The exhibition has just begun, and the voices asking for orders are already coming one after another, and even the price is no longer asked.
Yang He and Dong An looked at each other with smiles in their eyes.
Obviously, this glass-packed high-end product will soon become a hot item in the capital, and nobles all over the city will flock to it.
This time, not only the wine and perfume were sold, but the glasses containing the wine and perfume were also bought.
However, this was only the beginning, when the glass mirrors were taken out by the shop assistants and displayed one by one in front of their chests.
The entire exhibition area suddenly changed from noisy to silent.
No matter the common people, wealthy businessmen, or the children of powerful families, they all stared at the smooth mirror.
Under the sun, their figures appeared in the mirror, just like real people.
"Is this the mirror the concubines were talking about?"
"It goes without saying."
"Jesus, this is killing me."
"..."
After a brief silence, the exhibition hall suddenly became boiling, and the noise covered up the introduction of the businessman.
"Five hundred taels a piece, I want it."
"I'll give you a thousand taels, give it to me first!"
"..."
The onlookers shouted loudly for the price.
Yang He and Dong An looked at each other. This time he brought not many mirrors, thirty in total, and half of them were sent to the palace.
A total of fifteen were displayed.
"It's better to sell it on the spot. People who buy the mirror will brag about it everywhere. This is equivalent to promoting the business." Dong An said.
Yang He nodded, they thought about it together.
So he said: "Everyone, there are only fifteen mirror shops now. Since you are so enthusiastic today, if you don't buy it, I really feel sorry for the people who came to support me. In this way, the fifteen mirrors will be sold separately, and the one with the highest price will get it." "
"Don't be nagging. If you don't need this little money, hurry up if you want to sell it." Some people want to buy it to make the beauty smile, but they can't wait any longer.
Yang He laughed and said, "Okay, that's the beginning. The first one starts now. Let's call out one thousand taels."
"One thousand taels."
"One thousand three hundred taels."
"..."
While everyone was red-faced and scrambling to bid.
A carriage passed slowly on the street in front of the exhibition venue.
At this time, a slender hand as white as jade opened the curtain, revealing half of his face.
But just this half of the face made the passing scholars freeze, completely forgetting to go on their way.
"The new goods sent by King Yan this time seem to be very popular in the capital." The corners of the woman's mouth rose slightly.
"What the princess said is absolutely true. His Highness Prince Yan has always been obsessed with money. I am afraid that he will become the richest prince in Dasong in the future." Another woman's voice sounded from the carriage, but it was Xu E.
The woman with her was none other than Princess Changle.
After returning to the capital, she often went in and out with Princess Changle.
"I'm afraid he is helpless. His land is so barren. How can he become rich without trade." Princess Changle bit her red lips lightly.
Xu E nodded, hesitated, and asked the question she had been wondering about for a long time: "Since the princess intends to help His Highness King Yan, why did she let the slave family return to the capital?"
Changle smiled, "Even if you don't come back, I'm afraid that King Yan will find out your details soon. King Yan seems to have established his own detailed organization, and these people are very powerful."
After a pause, she continued: "In this case, it is unnecessary for you to continue to stay. Why not go back to the capital, monitor the movements in the capital at all times, and provide him with information that is not beneficial to King Yan. After all, these evil agents in the court are It's more dangerous than Yuan Li."
Xu E suddenly realized that she looked at Princess Changle's profile, which was even more beautiful than her own. She felt admiration, envy, and a hint of jealousy and hostility in her heart.
The carriage did not stop and slowly passed the exhibition venue.
At this time, the bidding at the exhibition also reached its climax.
The first mirror was bought for a high price of 3,600 taels.
Then the second, third, and fifteenth mirrors were all sold.
A total of 42,000 taels of silver were collected on the spot.
Those who bought the mirrors held the mirrors tightly like treasures.
Some returned home and gave them to their wives.
Some went directly to brothels and gave them to their lovers.
Others went to the mansions of some nobles and gave the mirrors as gifts.
When these people got the mirrors, their homes suddenly became crowded with visitors.
The mansion of the Wang family.
Wang Yue, the daughter of Wang Zian, held the mirror tightly and refused to let go.
She was surrounded by ladies who came to watch.
They begged Wang Yue to lend them the mirror.
"No, no, you have all looked at it so many times, don't break it." Wang Yue refused to let go.
"You girl, will your mother give it to you?" Wang Yue's mother pinched her waist.
This mirror was bought by a young man and given to Wang Yue.
Otherwise, it would not be Wang Yue's turn, and she would always use it first.
"My mother won't give me one either." Wang Yue snorted, "If you have the ability, ask your father to buy you one."
"Hey!" Wang Yue's mother was furious when she heard this.
At the same time, glass mirrors caused a lot of chaos in other places, and also created a lot of after-dinner talk.
In a brothel, a mirror was accidentally broken due to a fight, and the plastic sisterhood was broken, and a big fight broke out.
On a painted boat in the river, a wealthy merchant used a mirror to capture the heart of the courtesan and stayed overnight.
It's just that when these things were spread, they made the glass mirror seem more mysterious and desirable.
For a time, there was a lot of traffic in front of the merchant house to order glass mirrors.
Many merchants went directly to Yan County, trying to get the moon first.
