"Your Majesty said," Li Jingzang was extremely cautious when it came to money. Finally, at the last stage of the drama, he shouted loudly: "Your Majesty said, this thing is for the benefit of the people, and the price is naturally higher than that."
The lower the better, but as everyone has seen, this thing not only cost a lot of effort by His Majesty, but was also supervised by Momen personally. The top craftsmen of Daye City spent a lot of steel and wood to carefully build it. It took the craftsmen ten days to produce it.
With such a fan out there, how much do you think this rare item should cost?"
His words are exaggerated, but for propaganda purposes, Haikou always has to exaggerate.
What's more, the manpower and material resources used to make the fan are indeed huge. The gear part is made of high-quality steel refined by blacksmiths. In addition, Qin Huaidao always treats craftsmen preferentially and pays high wages. If it is sold cheaply,
, it’s really not cost-effective.
Seeing him asking this question, the people began to speculate on the price.
"Five hundred taels of silver?"
Someone tried to tell the price, and then everyone laughed: "Five hundred taels for this kind of divine object is enough. You are insulting the craftsmen of Daye City and His Majesty's design. If it were placed in Li Tai's time, it would be
The person who was dragged down and beheaded received, I guess, one thousand taels of silver."
"One thousand taels of silver, you are really poor." In order to leave a good impression in front of Pei Xianzhu, He Bing, the son of He Mansion, spoke out an astronomical figure: "In my opinion, this thing requires a hundred taels of gold.
Only then can he be worthy of his noble status."
"Oh."
Everyone took a breath of cold air. Although it was extremely convenient for the people present to live at the emperor's feet, many of them could not even afford a hundred taels of silver, let alone gold.
"The Young Master of the He family is so courageous. He blurted out a hundred taels of gold easily. Except for His Majesty, only the He family dared to speak so loudly." The people were amazed.
Some people suddenly discovered that there was a thousand taels of gold placed next to them, and thought of an extremely incredible thing. Could it be that the amount placed there was the selling price of the fan?
He murmured: "Could it be one thousand taels of gold?"
As soon as this statement came out, the scene immediately exploded.
One thousand taels of gold is so precious that it is enough to buy many houses in Chang'an. However, the price of this thing is so high. How is this possible?
It's just that there are thousands of taels of gold placed next to it. It would be unrealistic to let them not do what they want.
Fortunately, Li Jingzang happened in time and stopped everyone's imagination.
"Don't worry, it can't be a thousand taels of gold, but a price you can afford," Li Jingzang looked at Pei Xianzhu with a smile: "Why don't you take a guess, Miss Pei?"
Pei Xianzhu took a closer look at the water-powered fan and found that this thing was not only ingeniously designed and finely made, but also had some exotic art. After thinking about it, he said: "In my opinion, this thing will be worth a hundred taels of silver or more."
."
Hearing this, Li Jingzang couldn't help laughing.
"Why, my guess is wrong?" Pei Xianzhu asked him.
"Your guess is not only wrong, it is simply outrageous," Li Jingzang walked to the hand-cranked fan and took it in his hand: "The Chengfeng brand fan, according to your Majesty's suggestion, I will price it at five taels of silver."
When they heard the price, the people were so shocked that their jaws dropped to the ground.
Such a rare item requires the use of top craftsmen from Momen and Daye City, and the most important thing is that it also uses refined steel. That is extremely expensive military material. Such an item only sells for five taels of silver?
He Bing was surprised: "The boss is kidding us, isn't he? Such a good thing only sells for five taels? Don't tell me that the fan next door that doesn't need to be cranked by hand only sells for ten taels."
"Haha," Li Jingzang gave him a thumbs up: "Only Mr. He guessed it right. The price of this Borrower Dongfeng is indeed set at 10 taels. I guarantee that everyone can afford it, how about it."
Really twelve?
How can this be?
Looking at everyone's surprised looks, a common man tentatively took out five taels of silver and handed it to Li Jingzang. After Li Jingzang accepted the silver taels, he handed the Chengfeng brand fan to the common man. After receiving it, the man
The people seemed to be in a dream.
It wasn't until a moment later that I was completely convinced that this thing belonged to me, and I was overjoyed.
"This is actually true. You can buy this thing for only five taels of silver. Thank you, Your Majesty. Thank you to my boss. I will go home to announce the good news, haha."
After that, this common man left as quickly as the wind.
Seeing that what the owner of the fan said was true, everyone crowded forward to buy the fan.
"Master, here are one hundred taels. I want ten units to borrow the east wind."
"I only have fifteen taels, and there are three people in my family. Help me get three sets to ride the wind."
He Bing waved his hand, took out a stack of Dahan silver certificates from his arms and shouted: "I want as much as Chengfeng and Borrowing Dongfeng, sell them all to me!"
What he saw in his eyes was not only convenience, but also business opportunities.
This item is valuable and scarce. If he accepts all of it in advance and then sells it to all parts of the country faster than the court, he will definitely make a fortune.
Such a rare item, even if it sells for a thousand taels, there will still be people buying it. What's more, the process is so complicated and the output must be low. By the time it is sold on a remote state road, I don't know how many years have passed.
Seeing everyone looting, Li Jingzang had already thought of a good countermeasure. He shouted: "Don't worry, everyone, Daye City will produce 5,000 Chengfeng fans and 1,000 Dongfeng fans this time. Everyone at the scene can buy them."
, not only that, we also provide door-to-door delivery service. Just write down your address and name, and we will deliver the fan to your home. But there is one thing that needs to be made clear. We will record it on the roster, no matter who you are.
, no matter what the official position is, each person can only buy one, so you have to think clearly about which one you want to buy."
"Can each person only buy one?"
He Bing immediately fainted when he heard this. It seemed that he would not be able to earn this money.
However, it was not bad to be able to buy a fan and go back to let him live a cool summer. He whispered to his entourage: "You go back and call more people over. There are many people in the house, so we have to buy more for use."
"Yes, sir."
"Okay, if you want to buy, please line up here. I have a five-person sales desk here. Just hand over the money and write down your address and name."
Pei Xianzhu was about to queue up, but was pulled back by Li Jingzang.
"Don't worry, Miss Pei. I will give this station to you as a thank you for your support." Li Jingzang said with a smile.
This surge in popularity is partly due to Pei Xianzhu's blessing.
"Thank you very much." Pei Xianzhu was also polite. If he still pretends to push and pull such a rare item, if the other party refuses to give it away, then he will have lost an opportunity.
The issue of door-to-door delivery was originally proposed by Qin Huaidao, mainly because he was worried that the item would be too scarce and lead to looting. The Jinyi guards in Chang'an City could deliver it to their door in person, which would also ensure their safety.
However, seeing the crowd at the scene, he came up with another idea.
