The bright sunshine quietly enveloped the built market, with solid cement pillars, neat cement platforms, flat floors, and green tiles to protect from rain. In this era when mud and thatched houses are common, the market looks like a beautiful place.
It's so high-end and so majestic.
One after another, ordinary people came carrying vegetables and fruits that had just been picked at home, eggs that they were reluctant to eat, sheep, mushrooms, wild vegetables, wild fruits and game picked from the mountains, etc., and were guided by the staff to the designated places.
position, put things on the counter and wait for the market to open.
Someone shouted in surprise: "Yeah, there's still a place to sit. It's much better than going to the West Market."
"Of course, don't look at who built the market. It was the King of Han."
"That's right, the West Market can only be placed on the ground, and people have to squat. It doesn't matter to us poor people, we can just squat, but the people who come to buy food are all wealthy families, so it's good to stop and take a few more glances.
Who wants to squat down and take a closer look, but if you don’t squat down, how can you tell how good the food is?”
"You're right, look at this countertop. It's just the right height. People selling vegetables can see clearly when they pass by. They don't have to squat down to look at it. It's so convenient. We, the vegetable sellers, can also sit down. It's so comfortable.
Look at the sitting object, it’s so strong, I don’t know what it’s made of.”
"The King of Han is benevolent and considerate of us people the most!"
"Yes, the King of Han is benevolent and righteous."
The vegetable farmers were all talking and excited.
"The market is open!"
I don’t know who shouted something, and then, fireworks exploded in the sky. Although they were not as shocking as the ones set off at night, they were more numerous. They shot up into the sky one by one, exploding countless brilliant lights, causing countless people to shout and scream.
, the cheers were like a tsunami, one wave higher than the other.
They are all poor people who are miserable. Where have they seen such a battle?
Many timid people were so frightened that they almost hid under the counter. After seeing that there was no danger, they became more courageous and walked out of the market to watch in the open air. They also cheered and cheered loudly.
Immediately afterwards, gongs and drums were blaring, music was playing in unison, and three lion dance teams rushed into the open space. The brightly colored lions and their funny movements immediately aroused countless people shouting and cheering, which no one had ever seen before.
Obviously, this was done by Qin Huaidao. If dragons were not too sensitive creatures, Qin Huaidao would not mind getting a few "dragons" out to add to the fun.
The news flew into Chang'an City like it had wings. In this era of extreme lack of entertainment, the peculiar opening ceremony, hot fireworks, and naive lions instantly attracted countless people to watch. Everyone cheered and cheered, and saw the lion tumbling.
After falling to the ground, he burst into laughter.
After the lion dance team's performance, there was singing. Qin Huaidao specially selected a few high-pitched people to take the stage and sang the timeless classic "Good Days" together. It was easy to understand and the people could understand it as soon as they heard it and started humming along.
Another song "Gong Xi Fa Cai" by Hua Tsai is suitable for the occasion.
In the audience, the saint's disciples cursed vulgarly. They had no counterpoint, no rhyme, and were not even parallel prose. They were simply rubbish and brought disgrace to the scholars.
The common people here are different, they are uneducated and cannot understand elegance, but they like the easy-to-understand and catchy lyrics very much, and they sound cordial.
Whether you like it or not, this opening ceremony is a hit.
The onlookers were excited and excited. After the guards released them, they rushed into the market one by one. When they asked about the price, they found it was much cheaper in the West Market. So what are you waiting for?
Buy buy buy!
I was worried that I wouldn't be able to take it back after buying it, but when I got a tin, it could be delivered to my door for free. I was immediately delighted and continued to buy.
Those who buy things are happy, and those who sell things are even happier.
More and more people rushed out of Chang'an City and joined the buying army. The popularity exceeded expectations. They didn't buy or sell vegetables at all, so they hurriedly sent people back to get them.
Qin Huaidao came quietly in a carriage, and Luo Wu led his guards to guard the surroundings. He stared at the crowd of people around Wuyang with vigilance, full of worry. There were too many people. What if an assassin took the opportunity to touch them?
"Arrange someone to call Wang Xuance." Qin Huaidao opened the car curtain and said.
Luo Wu quickly agreed and asked someone to deliver the message while he blocked the car window.
"What are you afraid of? Who else dares to assassinate?" Qin Huaidao asked funnyly.
"Then who knows, what if?"
"Okay, who are you?" Qin Huaidao put down the car curtains and smiled at He'er who was accompanying him: "It looks good. With so many people, the market's reputation has been greatly improved."
"The young master made the opening ceremony unique. It's hard for everyone to imagine. What's more, the items sold are so cheap. If we subsidize so much, will it be too much of a loss?" As the person in charge of financial power, He'er was very worried.
Qin Huaidao smiled and said nothing.
Not long after, an excited voice came from outside: "Your Majesty, Wang Xuance, is here to see the King of Han."
Qin Huaidao opened the car curtain and asked: "How is the exchange situation today?"
"Thanks to the reminder from the King of Han, we have prepared more manpower for redemption, otherwise there will definitely be trouble. There are too many people redeeming vouchers. So far, tens of thousands of vouchers have been redeemed. There is no time to make statistics. Judging from the current number of people and the enthusiasm for redemption, one hundred thousand
Guan will definitely not be able to stop it."
Qin Huaidao breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "It's a good start. Let's tell everyone to work hard. I will give everyone a reward of ten coins in the evening. Each person will be cashed in on the spot. You will be responsible for this."
Ten coins can buy two buckets of polished rice and noodles, enough to feed a person for a month.
Such a high silver reward is enough to make people excited. Wang Xuance said gratefully: "Thank you very much, King Han, for your consideration. I will go and spread the word now. Everyone's enthusiasm will definitely increase a lot."
"Go ahead and pay attention to safety issues." Qin Huaidao reminded.
Afterwards, the carriage quietly left the market, followed the official road into the city, and arrived near the Department Store.
Compared with the market, the department store is gloomy and gloomy. There is not a single customer in sight. The front door is empty and the inner courtyard is empty. A few staff members can be seen eagerly waiting for people to come to the door.
Luo Wu was overjoyed when he saw this scene and said excitedly: "Uncle, you still have the means to defeat the Department Store Pavilion without a single blow. There is not a single person left. They are dead."
He'er opened the car curtains to take a look, and smiled in surprise: "There really isn't a soul around. Then they will be at a loss. They will close down soon. How about buying them at a low price and doing something else?"
business?"
"You have a good mind." Qin Huaidao couldn't help but sigh. He actually thought of taking advantage of the opportunity to buy at the bottom. He already has some skills as a capitalist.
"Hee hee, they are all good things from the young bishop, can they really be acquired?" He'er said with an embarrassed smile.
"Forget about acquisitions, our focus is not on operations. The operating profits are not big, so we might as well give them to others. Remember, one person can't make all the money, and one can't make all the money alone. The only way is to recruit a large number of people to make a fortune together.
To really make a fortune, what we have to do is to innovate in technology, constantly introduce good products, monopolize the market, and attract rich people to follow us." Qin Huaidao took the opportunity to teach the way of business.
He'er heard it half-understood, but he remembered it carefully.
At this time, a man came over and was stopped by the guards.
Luo Wu stepped forward to ask a few questions, then returned and said: "Uncle, the manager of the Department Store recognized our carriage and knew it was you. He came over to discuss something. Do you want to meet?"
"Let him come over."
Luo Wu nodded, went forward to search him, and then brought someone over.
"See the King of Han." The general manager of the Department Store saluted the carriage with a very low posture.
"What do you want from me? My time is limited, so just tell me."
"Thank you, King Han!"
The general manager of the Department Store Pavilion saluted again, with thorough etiquette, and said sternly: "The King of Han's tricks are unpredictable, and the Department Store Pavilion did not lose unjustly. I am willing to be defeated. I was entrusted by my employer. I wanted to go to Qinjiazhuang to pay a visit, but I happened to see the King of Han's carriage.
Come here, I shamelessly ask for an audience and want to ask the King of Han if he is interested in purchasing the Department Store Pavilion."
These words reveal an important message: the people behind the department store want to be submissive and show favor.
Qin Huaidao said coldly: "You can start a war if you want to start a war, and end it if you want to end it. The world is not so good."
"What the King of Han said is that in order to show his sincerity, the original purchase price of the Department Store Pavilion was 120,000 guan. Including decoration and other expenses, the total is more than 150,000 guan. He is willing to sell it for 100,000 guan. I wonder if King Han is satisfied?"
"Ten thousand guan at most."
"This?" The general manager of the department store was furious, but he held it back and did not dare to show it.
The investment of 150,000 yuan and the sale of 100,000 yuan have already made a lot of profits, which is full of sincerity.
But the counter-offer was only 10,000 yuan, which was a slap in the face and a complete humiliation.
If it weren't for his status as the King of Han and the fact that he couldn't beat him, the general manager of the department store really wanted to take action, how could he be so humiliating? Just say so if you don't want to.
"What, you don't want to sell?"
Qin Huaidao's indifferent voice sounded again, unhurriedly: "I'll give you one day to think about it, wait until tomorrow to negotiate, it won't be the current price, go back!"
The latter sentence was said to Luo Wu.
Luo Wu agreed knowingly and made a gesture to the brother who was driving the carriage.
The carriage slowly left, leaving the general manager of the department store messy in the wind, with an aggrieved face.
