Chapter 997
"The left prime minister came to Xiaohou's business house. Kang Qi was in a farewell welcome, so please do not blame him!" Xiyue Hou rushed in almost trotting all the way. After seeing Chen Xu, he quickly bowed and apologized.
"I am just wandering around here. Don't use so much politeness to the Queen of Xiyue!" Chen Xu supported Xiyue with both hands, and then he remembered that this Xiyue fur should be the commercial product of Xiyuehou.
When they heard about Xiyuehou, several businessmen from the northeast also guessed Kang Qi's identity at the same time. Although they were disdainful, they still bowed together. After a greeting, everyone's eyes fell on the most conspicuous leopard skin in the store again.
"The arrival of the Left Prime Minister makes Kang Qi's face shine. This snow leopard skin will be sent to the Left Prime Minister's Mansion later..." Kang Qi thought Chen Xu had fallen in love with this snow leopard skin, so he quickly said carefully.
"Don't use it. Although this snow leopard skin is precious, I don't like fur clothing, it's not as comfortable as silk and hemp!" Chen Xu waved his hand with a smile.
"What the Marquis said is that I have abundant treasures in the Central Plains, and wearing leather clothes and furs is a barbarian!" A Liaodong merchant agreed in disdain.
Chen Xu couldn't help but laugh and cry, thinking that you are so stupid in Liaodong, okay? If Yan hadn't expanded northward, you might have been eating naked in the barren mountains and ridges.
Kang Qi felt a little bitter in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it on his face. Now he is a idle marquis who destroyed the country. He was kept in Xianyang without power and power. The purpose of opening this shop was to communicate with the clan members and caravans from the Yuezhi, and to subsidize the family income. Now he is a marquis, and there are hundreds of servants in the mansion, but he can't support him by relying on ten acres of grain and one thousand stones a year. He wanted to do some small business in a low-key manner, but he was targeted by Chen Xu on the first day of the opening. Therefore, he was a little scared, afraid of angering the super boss of the two marquis, Shangqing, Zuo Prime Minister, and Shao Shi.
However, when he heard Chen Xu's tone, Kang Qi felt a little relieved. The most precious thing in his shop is this snow leopard skin, which is still his previous private goods. Now his family is almost out of stock and is planning to sell it to subsidize the household.
"You think how valuable is this snow leopard skin in Xiyuehou?" Chen Xu touched the soft and thick leopard skin with his hand, and felt that the quality was not as good as the ones in his home.
"This snow leopard is a specialty of the Western Regions. It is fierce in habits and is good at hunting beasts. She lives on the high-altitude snow-capped mountains. I have heard of it before, but this is the first time I saw it. This leather is made of good, soft, thick fur, and very complete. It is a top-quality leather goods. But compared to the colorful tigers that are specialized in Liaodong, it is just an Er. This time we came to Xianyang, we brought three complete tiger skins of five feet in size, each worth tens of thousands of gold..." A Liao merchant said proudly.
"The tiger in Liaodong is more than 100 meters long and is the best beast in the world. Naturally, Xiaohou's snow leopard skin cannot be mentioned first!" Kang Qi knew that his identity was despised by the people of the Central Plains, so he did not dare to be arrogant. He still acted very low-key in front of several businessmen, claiming to be Xiaohou would not be despised.
"Ah~ It's a pity!" Another Liao Shang shook his head and sighed.
"What a pity? You guys came from afar, which happened to be the day when the commercial square was open today. If you have any difficulties, I might be able to help you!" Chen Xu said.
When several merchants heard this, one of them quickly bowed and said, "The Marquis didn't know. This time, we were entrusted by the King of Liao and brought more than ten cars of Liaodong specialties, including tiger, marten, bear, and other precious medicinal materials. Unfortunately, they had no way to sell them. They asked many skin merchants, either the price was inappropriate or they were all scattered. The King of Liao asked us to buy back the urgently needed items as soon as possible, so we were at a loss!"
"Haha, it turns out that it's because of this, a trivial matter!" Chen Xu shook his head with a smile.
"If the Marquis can help, we will be grateful. When we return to Liaodong, we will definitely report to the King of Liao in person, and the King of Liao will also be grateful to the Marquis!" A group of Liao merchants were all happy and bowed together.
"I am also very familiar with the King of Liao. In the past, I often played mahjong together in the palace. Naturally, I will not stand by and watch the matter of the King of Liao. Tiger, Sable, Bear and Bottle are all expensive furs, and ordinary people cannot afford it. However, Xianyang is the capital of the Great Qin Dynasty, so a few cars are definitely not a problem. Besides, merchants and merchants have different business rules. Now you have a very good partner in front of you. Isn't you anyone in your eyes?" Chen Xu pointed to the King of Xiyue and said.
"Mr. Marquis said..." Several Liao Shang and Xiyue Hou looked at Chen Xu with confusion.
"You are eager to ship goods from afar, but you have no way of doing it. The Marquis of Xiyue is a marquis personally appointed by the emperor. Now you run a special fur merchant. If you sell the fur goods to the Marquis of Xiyue at the lowest discount, the Marquis of Xiyue will get a high-quality source of goods, and you can also get the payment for the goods at one time. Isn't that a double benefit!"
"Ah!" Several Liao merchants looked at each other and nodded slightly, "What the Marquis said was that if the Marquis of Xiyue were willing to buy the fur we wait for in full, the price would naturally be very cheap. We could only earn some shipping costs and a slight difference!"
However, the Marquis of Xiyue twitched his face and looked at Chen Xu with a wry smile: "The Zuo Prime Minister is indeed helping Xiao Hou expand his business, but Xiao Hou's family is not rich now, so I'm afraid he can't afford it..."
"It's okay if you can't afford it, but the so-called business opportunities are hard to find. Liaodong is the best source of leather goods in Daqin. These people are valued by the Liao King. In the future, there will inevitably be a steady stream of fur goods handed over to you. As long as you are willing, I can help you go to the Huaxia Money House to borrow a low-interest payment to complete this transaction. It is the cold winter season, and it is the best time for fur goods to be sold. Good goods don't have to worry about selling..."
"The Zuo Prime Minister is willing to help, so Xiao Hou is naturally grateful and is willing to buy this batch of fur goods!" Xiyue Hou agreed without any hesitation.
As a surrendered marquis, although his status is precious at present, he is not as good as an ordinary official among the princes and princes in Xianyang. Even ordinary people look down on him. But today, because of this chance, he can take over the Qinghe Marquis, and his status will inevitably rise in the future.
Moreover, as the Yuezhi royal family, he also knew the importance of the comparison of timing and status and power, otherwise he would not have intended to promote the friendly relationship between Yuezhi and Daqin, because he knew that Yuezhi was no match for Daqin at all, and the subsequent changes quickly confirmed his judgment. The 20,000 Qin soldiers instantly disrupted the Yuezhi army.
Although the process is shameful, Daqin successfully attacked using the conflicts within the Yuezhi, losing is losing. In the face of strength, big fists are the hard truth. Daqin does not need to use heavy punches to deal with Yuezhi. In just over a year, Daqin has now wiped out the Wusun and dozens of countries in the Western Regions. This is the military strength of Daqin, and the military front is invincible.
There is no Yuezhi at the moment, only Liang Kingdom, and Liang Kingdom is not only Yuezhi tribe, but also Qiang people and Wusun people who are as powerful as water and fire. At present, the three hostile tribes are all ruled under the command of King Liang, and can only obey and make food together in the same pot.
The winner is the king and the loser is the enemy, and the same has been true since ancient times.
With Chen Xu's support, Xiyuehou and several merchants quickly reached a preliminary cooperation agreement. Chen Xu took one of the merchants to another shop specializing in selling medicinal materials. With the face of Qinghehou, the drug dealer naturally agreed without any hesitation, saying that he could purchase Liaoshang's medicinal materials at the best price.
After everything was arranged, Chen Xu continued to wander around the mall with a group of playboys, touching around, asking about the sales of each shop, and buying several special gadgets from south and north to take them back to give Shui Qingrou and Xing'er Yu Ji as gifts.
The lively day passed by in a flash. By the time of Shenshi, more than 100,000 people gathered on Cuju Square slowly dispersed. The tourists who flocked to the mall to shop were all leaving home happily with shopping bags, and all the shops began to take stock of today's sales.
Among the tea restaurant on the third floor of Qinghe Mall, Chen Xu and Liu Bang also have a group of Cuju Commercial Plaza's minds sitting together while drinking tea while discussing some of the things that happened today, and there are also areas where the adjustment of the mall needs to strengthen management and improvement.
After the discussion, Huangfu Que came to report the sales of Qinghe Mall today. After obtaining the sales of the entire mall, even Chen Xu was surprised. In one day, the sales revenue of the three-story Qinghe Mall was as high as 2.7 million yuan. The snacks and tea restaurants on the third floor alone had nearly 100,000 yuan, which was as high as the sales revenue of Qinghe Hotel in Xianyang City for several days.
According to Chen Xu's visit and inquire about the mall today, the total turnover of more than 200 shops in Cuju Shopping Mall is at least 10 million. According to the rough estimates of Liu Bang and others just now, the number of people entering the mall today should exceed 50,000, and the average spending is more than 200 yuan.
Although most of this money was earned by Chen Xu and some related Jiangxi porcelain, Fan's winery, Shui's tea shop, glass factory bearing factory and other merchants, the rest of the shops of all sizes and sizes also had significant revenues, at least tens of thousands of dollars in sales.
Although it doesn't seem to be much, you should know that this is just a record for one day. At present, what Daqin lacks the most is entertainment. Once shopping in the mall becomes a daily consumption and living habit for the people of Xianyang, it will inevitably attract a lot of popularity and become the most lively place near Xianyang. Before online shopping even emerged in later generations, when shopping malls were discounted on holidays, Chen Xu knew the lively scene of night markets and shopping malls where customers rushed to buy one after another.
As long as you come to go shopping, you will spend more or less money. Even if you eat a skewer, two steamed buns and one bowl of iced rice, it is also a means to promote consumption upgrading. Only money can be involved in circulation is money, otherwise it will be no different from copper and iron.
In the next two days, Cuju Commercial Plaza became more lively. After some people who did not come the day before heard those beautiful words in the streets and alleys, the alleys and alleys, they couldn't help but run to Cuju Plaza to see what was going on.
Even on the fourth day, the emperor couldn't help but bring a group of concubines to the mall with the protection of Xuanwu Guards and the Imperial Guards.
Because I heard the words of commercial squares these days, even the civil and military officials in court discussed this matter. And they were all very excited when they spoke, just like Chen Xu was following the adults to go to the temple fair when he was a child.
