Ten taels of silver is an affordable price for the shopkeeper of Rouge Shop, but for more ordinary people, this price is still a bit expensive.
Therefore, when Gu Qingling envisioned an optical store, he also considered "second-hand glasses".
In order to prevent people from "discriminating" against second-hand glasses, Lu Qingling has included "second-hand glasses" in the sales scope from the beginning, telling everyone that glasses are not easy to produce, they are easy to damage, but the production process is relatively complicated.
In order to maximize the effectiveness of glasses without causing any waste, we encourage everyone to choose glasses that suit their prescription, whether old or new.
If you replace your glasses with new ones, you can also "give" your old glasses to those in need without going through an optical store.
As for whether to give it away for free or sell it at a depreciated price, that is a matter of personal preference.
"These glasses are really amazing!"
The shopkeeper of Rouge Shop chose a pair of cheap glasses. After wearing them, he happily shared his wearing experience with others.
Some people who knew him well came to him to "try it on".
"Is it really that magical? I'm afraid you won't fool us, right?"
"I'm not fooling you, it's true. If you don't believe it, you can go to the store for an interview. They will let you try it on in the store. You have to have the right prescription before they will sell it to you. If it doesn't suit you, they may not sell it to you.
"The shopkeeper of the rouge shop was reluctant to give them his glasses, saying that it wasn't that he didn't want to give them, but that they had prescriptions.
What is suitable for him may not be suitable for them. If they really want to try it, it is better to go to the store and try it.
What he didn't expect was that when his friends went to the store, there was already a long queue in the store, and they didn't know when they would be able to wait.
Later, there was no other choice. Daming Optical Shop could only issue number tags, saying that if you didn't get it, please take it back and come back tomorrow.
"I'm really sorry. Glasses are no different from other things. They need to be tried on one by one and take a lot of time..."
"I'm really sorry. We can only accommodate so many people today. Otherwise, we can make an appointment for you tomorrow. Do you think that's okay?"
…
There was really no other way, so Daming Optical Store released all the "reservation" places.
In order to prevent the accident of noble people jumping in the queue, a few places are reserved at each time. First, you can flexibly adjust when the time comes. Secondly, you are not in such a rush, and everyone can take a breath and take a rest.
Even if this is the case, after one day's operation, the store will be completely exhausted.
Within a few days, the news of the opening of Daming Optical Shop spread all over the capital. No matter whether they were big or small families, everyone rushed to order "number plates".
After rushing to the back, it was actually hard to find the number one?!
There is no other way, people who really need it can only "ask for a high price".
Then, number plate scalpers appeared.
When Gu Qingling heard this, she was shocked: "No, how much does a number plate cost now?"
"One hundred taels of silver."
"One hundred taels of silver?! How much does a pair of glasses cost in my optical shop? A number plate costs one hundred taels of silver?!" Gu Qingling couldn't believe it.
The glasses, which cost ten taels of silver a pair, were originally sold to ordinary people, but the ordinary people had not yet used them, and the price was raised by these powerful people.
The cost of a pair of glasses is as high as one hundred taels of silver?!
What's even more strange is that there are still people who want to buy other people's glasses at high prices.
But the problem is, glasses have prescriptions. If your eyes are fine, or the prescription is inappropriate, is there any use in buying them at a high price?
But these people don't care, he just wants it.
Because - wearing glasses means being knowledgeable.
When Gu Qingling heard this statement, she was speechless.
"Where did this statement come from? How could there be such a bizarre statement? Problems with people's eyes are not necessarily caused by reading too much, but may also be due to other reasons. Those reading glasses are placed there, and they are obviously
It’s caused by old age, can’t they see it?”
Li Wenchong said: "Probably...maybe it has something to do with the Hanlin Academy."
"Hanlin Academy?"
Li Wenchong nodded and said that among the great scholars of the Hanlin Academy, six out of ten had reading glasses and wore glasses.
Therefore, other people in the Hanlin Academy felt that all the great scholars of the time wore glasses, and it seemed a bit unreasonable for them not to wear glasses, as they felt that their knowledge was not deep enough.
"It's not that reading too much will lead to myopia. They probably want to experience themselves reading more."
Originally there was nothing wrong with the glasses, but people from the Hanlin Academy still wanted to buy them.
But because Hanlin Academy is relatively poor and relatively good, there is no number plate so we can only wait and line up slowly.
But the Hanlin Academy does not have money, which does not mean that other departments or other people do not have money.
When those people heard this statement, they would rather pay a high price to buy glasses without saying a word.
The masters are willing to spend money, and the slaves below them run as fast as they can. In order to gain credit, they queue up to get a number plate, so they spend a high price to get a number plate.
If you can't even find a number plate, you can also find someone who bought glasses before and sell them directly at a high price.
Gu Qingling didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so she could only quickly ask Daming Glasses Factory to add a production line to produce flat mirror glasses. Flat mirror glasses are glasses that have no prescription and are just for good-looking glasses.
Wearing prescription glasses can cause problems even if there is no problem with the glasses.
Since everyone wants to wear them, it is safer to wear them, which not only satisfies their vanity but also protects their glasses.
For the sake of their eyes, Gu Qingling was worried enough.
Li Wenchong was surprised: "There are still such glasses?"
"It's already there," Gu Qingling rolled her eyes and said helplessly, "Isn't it okay to just use those glass pieces without any prescription? The glasses were originally made for myopia and presbyopia.
Now that we are here, a group of people with good eyesight have come to join in the fun. It’s really… I don’t know what to say.”
Li Wenchong hugged Gu Qingling's waist and rested his chin on her shoulder: "That's not normal. If the superiors do something good, the subordinates will follow suit. Although this is a trend brought about by the great scholar of the Hanlin Academy, for
For the people down there, this is the direction of the wind. If you don’t follow the direction of the wind, how can you be gregarious? Isn’t that what you said? After all, people are social animals and stay in groups.”
Gu Qingling struggled for a while and found that Li Wenchong's hug was very tight. He could not struggle away, so he had no choice but to give up the struggle: "You can just talk, why are you moving your hands and feet?"
"You are my princess. If I don't hug you, who should I hug? Do you want me to hug someone else? I just hugged you, and I didn't do anything..." Li Wenchong did not continue the topic with Gu Qingling, but changed the topic back to
Regarding glasses, "The idea of flat glasses is a good one. I think you can open a separate production line. If it doesn't work, you can also transfer this production line and let others take care of it. You have so many projects in your hands."
, it would be too hard if you were responsible for everything yourself. Just focus on a few key points and leave the rest to others."
Gu Qingling was alert: "You are not interested in this project, are you?"
"It's not that I'm interested in it, it's that someone is interested in it." Li Wenchong looked helpless and could only tell him that many people from the royal family and relatives asked him about the Daming Glasses Manufacturing Factory.
It was originally just a small glasses manufacturer. Unexpectedly, after the business was established, it actually became associated with a "contemporary scholar", making everyone think that people who wear glasses are very knowledgeable.
So...
On some kind of accident, ask.
After this equation was established, some people started to take a fancy to optical shops.
They think this is a channel to open up Qingliu. They don't lack the money, but they want to ask for a name and want to be associated with Qingliu.
