Chapter 86 The first batch of orders

Continue to follow the staff and wander straight to the next area.

"Just now we were looking at food, now it's the clothing area.

What is sold in this area are mainly several styles of clothing, including jackets, T-shirts, pants, shoes, socks, and underwear.”

"Why is the knitting method of these clothes so special? The design is somewhat similar to the clothes of farmhands."

"Censor, these clothes are designed to be close-fitting and not cumbersome. Although wearing them is not as elegant and beautiful as our clothes, they are still simple and convenient. The most important thing is that these underwear and socks are very close-fitting and comfortable."

Wang Daozhi sat down as he was told. Regardless of the people who were visiting around him, he took a pair of socks that seemed to have been tried on, took off the shoes and put them on directly. The smell that filled the air immediately annoyed Dongchang, who was a guest worker behind the counter.

Everyone frowned.

"I think this is the case with these underwear. They are restrictive, uncomfortable, and uncomfortable. There is no reason to restrict them at the moment."

Wang Daozhi put his socks on and felt a sense of envelopment, and immediately took them off again and said.

He continued to browse the entire store, and the dazzling array of products inside was almost blinding to his eyes.

In addition to bicycles, lighters and mirrors that he knew before, the store also added tricycles, matches, anti-inflammatories, small blue pills, clothes, pants, shoes and socks, and various snacks.

But these things all have one characteristic, that is, they are expensive!

It is really very expensive, ranging from tens to hundreds of taels, and a bicycle costs even more than a thousand taels. Even if it is exchanged for military coupons, it will cost a full 20,000 yuan.

Chongzhen, as always, set the price of the items very high, ten times higher than when he took them out of Chen Ye's hands.

The money he receives can be converted into silver, and he can continue to buy low-cost items from others and sell them at a higher price.

The only exception was basic grains and oils. In this regard, he set the price very low, because basic grains and oils affected whether people could afford to eat in the late Ming Dynasty. If the merchant sold it for four to five hundred yuan a stone, other grain merchants would go crazy.

The actual rice price and Chen Ye's cost price of old grain cost 3,000 yuan per ton. The friendly price sold to Chongzhen was already 4,000 yuan, while in the Ming Dynasty, it only sold for 10 taels of silver. The higher the price, the higher the price.

Therefore, Chongzhen set the price directly, 200 yuan for one stone of brown rice, and 300 yuan for one stone of polished rice. If you use grain to exchange for military coupons, the exchange will be the same price, and there is no limit on the exchange of grain for military coupons.

Chongzhen was not afraid of losing money. When trade developed in the later period, he could go to Vietnam and Korea to obtain food. In the early and mid-term, he could also subsidize this by raiding homes.

"Yushi Zuodu, we have finished visiting this area. If you want to buy something, you can place an order now and it will be available in half a month at the earliest."

"Thank you very much, little brother. Just now you said how much deposit is required for this order?"

"With a 10% deposit of the total price of the purchased goods, you can also reserve up to 100 taels of military coupons in advance. Military coupons are redeemable in limited quantities and are usually circulated as military benefits. Our store will only sell 10,000 taels of military coupons every month.

"

“But I don’t have enough money with me now!”

Wang Daozhi usually doesn't bribe anyone, nor does he show off his status, but only has a few taels of silver in his sleeves. Who always carries dozens or even hundreds of taels of cash on his body? That's either cerebral palsy or a corrupt official.

"You are the censor, you can make an appointment first, it's okay."

"Then help me reserve a hundred taels of military coupons. As for what I want to order, I will think about what I want to order after I go back."

"Of course, the door of Ming Royal Company is open for you at any time."

After Wang Daozhi left, the staff began to receive the next wave of people entering the store.

There was a business in the capital with crystal walls and red iron pillars, which glowed brightly under the sun. It quickly spread throughout the capital.

According to people who have visited it, the food eaten inside is all delicacies from the mountains and seas, and the taste is so good that it makes your tongue drop. The salt is as white as snow, without a trace of impurities.

Those clothes were made of extremely fine silk threads and were extremely comfortable to wear. There were also other gadgets that had never been seen in the capital, or even in the Ming Dynasty.

So much so that when there was no charge to visit the next day, people lined up outside the door and blocked the road.

For people in the city, it is much more interesting to see what others say has never been seen in the Ming Dynasty than to take care of things at home and set up stalls outside.

Beijing, which doesn't have much entertainment life, was stimulated by a shop.

In the evening, Cai Wei and Cai Die waited for the curfew to begin and then returned to the house under the escort of the eunuchs.

"Cai Wei and Cai Die, how are you today? I heard from inside the house that it's very lively outside. I'm afraid the people in the city have come here to take a look around, right?"

"Husband, today is even more lively than yesterday. Many people who didn't receive news yesterday are here, and everyone in Dongchang is overwhelmed.

If it weren't for the fact that the cabinets inside were locked and the store restricted entry, many people would have stolen things."

"That's right, husband, you don't know that there are a lot of people in the women's area today, and they are all asking about the sanitary napkin, and many maids from our ladies also came here to ask.

There is also the penicillin and Fuyan Jieyin lotion, which we delivered to various brothels in the city. As soon as we mentioned their usefulness, many people decided to place orders."

Caiwei Caidi said excitedly, and Chen Ye nodded. The more people who come to watch the excitement recently, the better the sales volume of the store will be.

It's not because the people watching the excitement can afford it, on the contrary, it's because they can't afford these things that the nobles in the city are willing to buy them, or even take the initiative to buy them.

For these wealthy nobles, there is nothing more satisfying than buying a can that many common people want to eat but cannot afford, and the taste is a bit sweeter.

"The people in Dongchang are only here to help during this period. It will still be up to you to form your own team later, you know?

You can choose some of the women in the city to become shop assistants, so that when the shops expand and prices are reduced, there will be enough staff."

"Now that I know my husband, we will take good care of the business."

Chen Ye took the bill handed over by the two people. It basically showed the deposit received in the past two days. Based on the deposit, he could confirm what more he would like to pay in the future.

Now that he is no longer obsessed with gold, he can exchange it if he has it, or if he doesn't have it, silver can also be used to buy other supplies, and Chongzhen is also useful, and his financial focus has begun to focus on large-volume orders.

Although the items in the store are very expensive, I couldn't stand the fact that there were so many rich people in the capital city. In just two days, I had already received an order of 100,000 taels.

Among them, 10,000 taels were reserved for military coupons. The two major banks, the Kong family and the Fan family, sent people to find Caiwei Caidie and wanted to arrange the deal directly, but Caiwei Caidie refused.

The rule was that each person could only exchange one hundred taels at most and needed to register, so they sent people to exchange them in turns, and still achieved this goal.

However, Caiwei and Caidie did not stop them. Instead, they publicized that exchanges were in short supply. From now on, the army would issue millions of military coupons every month. If they had money, they could all redeem them.

But people in the military are not stupid. If it is more expensive to buy rice, flour, grain and oil from a brand with silver than to buy it with military coupons, they themselves will not sell it at a low price. When the time comes, the third-party price of military coupons will continue to rise.

Bicycles accounted for the bulk of the order with a total price of 100,000 taels.

Honorable men and women in Beijing, as well as people who want to resell, have been coveting bicycles for a day or two. Now they are suddenly available for purchase, and those with money will certainly not let them go.

So more than 40 people ordered bicycles, which cost a total of 40,000 taels. Saving 900 taels is not as happy as the first purchase. Buy early and enjoy early, and buy later to enjoy discounts.

All that's left is to order other odds and ends.

Clothes, gynecological supplies, lighters, and people from some pharmacies in the city came to buy medicines to try.

"Well done. Once you accumulate some management experience, you will be able to manage female factories in the future."

The mining factories, textile factories, and soap factories planned by Chen Ye have not yet been opened. The main reason is that there are no large-scale breeding bases near Beijing, and there are more of them in the south.

"Husband, it's getting late."

"Well, let's take a rest and turn off the lights. Which one of you will vote tonight?"

"My husband hates it!"

Chen Ye looked at his watch and saw that it was already ten o'clock in the evening. Under the clothes of picking flowers and butterflies, he took off his clothes and went to bed. It was another night of hard work.

The next morning, in the outer city of the capital, Zheng Zhibao led a group of followers and walked into Zhengyang Gate under the guidance of Jin Yiwei.

"Sir, this is your first time coming to the capital. It's also my little one's first time."

"Yes, I only heard that Nanjing City is prosperous before, but I didn't expect that Shuntian Mansion is not bad either. It deserves to be an imperial city."

Zheng Zhibao was on the carriage, looking around from the window. When he heard the soldiers' words, he replied strangely.

"Sir, I heard the people around here talking about the Ming Dynasty Royal Store. It seems to be a shop selling rare treasures in the capital. It is very famous."

"Da Ming Royal Trading Company? Oh, it's so famous. Isn't it the Daming Trading Company that big brother mentioned?

Brother Wang of Jinyiwei, please get in the car and have a chat."

Jin Yiwei has manpower at every city gate, and will take the initiative to lead the way when he meets the list summoned by Chongzhen.

After hearing this, Jin Yiwei Xiaoqi, who was riding in front, dismounted and let others hold him, and got into Zheng Zhilong's carriage.

"What's the matter, General Zheng?"

"I'm just asking Brother Wang. Do you know the details and origin of this Ming Dynasty Royal Company?"

Jinyiwei Xiaoqi thought for a while, he had never been there, but from the day before yesterday, someone from above had informed him that the Ming Dynasty Royal Store was an property under His Majesty's care and that it sold some valuable things.

So he told Zheng Zhibao everything he knew, which made Zheng Zhibao confused.

"I understand, it means that it is the property under His Majesty's control, right? Everything in it is very valuable?"

"Yes."

"Okay, then we will go visit this store later. Please let the general know the date of meeting His Majesty as soon as possible."

Zheng Zhibao did not feel arrogant. As soon as he arrived, the emperor would put down what he was doing to receive him. This had nothing to do with the process.

"I already contacted the palace at the city gate just now. I think His Majesty already knows by this time. When I go to the palace gate later, the general will know when he can enter the palace."

"Oh? I just saw you going upstairs at the city gate, but sent someone to deliver the message?"
