Chapter 1538 Leading the Trend(2/2)
But nothing is absolute.
If you don’t like you, that is, “Thank you, your husband, for your favouriteness. The little girl is so grateful, but I don’t sell myself, so please forgive me.”
If you fall in love with you, it is "Mr. It's dark, and a curfew will be coming soon. Let's take a break."
"Is that true? It seems that we went to the Tang Dynasty Trading Center that day and we were really right.
The sofas and mattresses of Bai'anju Shop can feel their comfort by sitting up.
Those wealthy businessmen spent so much money to come to our Yihonglou for fun, so they naturally hope to enjoy the best service.
Although these sofas and mattresses are not cheap, they are actually nothing compared to those rewards from Kuaike.”
Although Miss Hongye is just a brothel woman, as the courtesan of Yihonglou, she still has a lot of say in the building.
Of course, if you want capital to support you, you will naturally let the other party see the benefits.
Obviously, after trying to update the beds and chairs in several rooms, I immediately felt the benefits.
So the shopkeeper of Yihong Building also made a cruel decision and spent a huge amount of money to replace all the girls' rooms in the building with sofas and mattresses.
This cost is really not small.
However, there is reward for your efforts. Now it seems that the effect is still very outstanding.
"Now the girls in other rooms have praised your foresight.
It is said that our Yihonglou business has become a little better than Baixiang Pavilion in the past two days."
Xiao Cui is the personal maid of Miss Hongye. The more stable Hongye's status is, the more comfortable her life will naturally be.
So she was very happy about the changes in Yihonglou in the past few days.
"I heard that the sofas and mattresses on the Bianju Shop are already selling crazy.
If other brothels want to change into sofas and mattresses like us, they will have to wait at least a few more days.
Just the difference in these few days can bring our reputation to a higher level.
We are leading the trend."
A courtesan like Hongye has much better knowledge than an ordinary woman.
Their sense of business is often very keen.
"Well, I just saw the report in the "Datang Daily" and it was indeed said that the supply in Bianju shops has begun to be in short supply.
It is said that it is useless for the guys from other brothels to worry with silver notes."
The master and servant were discussing various gossips there with such enthusiasm, as if they were full of confidence in the future.
...
"Zhijie, I heard that your mansion has made a fortune recently?"
In the Summer Palace, Li Shimin left a few old friends to drink together.
The older a person gets, the more he misses his past time.
Many of the brothers who followed Li Shimin to fight south and north are no longer alive.
Li Shimin will be preparing to come to Jiangnan next month, and now he will cherish the feelings between old friends even more.
"Xiao Qian, Wei Chen just made a little money, and it was just that unscrupulous son who was trying to do it."
Cheng Yaojin became humble very rarely.
But the smile on his face could not be concealed.
"You are still a little money, and other businesses in Chang'an City don't make money anymore.
Having said that, the mattress you made is really good and is very popular with everyone.”
Although Li Jing is old, his mind is still very clear.
"It is said that your sofas and mattresses are much more expensive than other companies, mainly because of foam.
But the production cost of this foam should not be that high, right?”
Changsun Wuji stared at Cheng Yaojin with jealousy.
Although he didn't know how much money the Cheng family had earned during this period.
But no matter how you calculate it, it is definitely not a small amount of money.
"Oh, I usually don't care about the specific things in the workshop.
The bastards in the family can do whatever they want, but I can't care so much.
As for whether it is cost-effective, I don't know.
Wuji, if the workshops in your mansion can produce cheaper foam, it will be considered a benefit to the people of the Tang Dynasty, and we are all happy to see such things happening."
If you get the benefits, behave like a good person.
Cheng Yaojin is much lower-key at this time than before.
"Zhijie, why are you so humble? I don't want to include sofas and mattresses in the category of luxury goods."
Under Li Kuan's persuasion, the commercial taxation of the Tang Dynasty has now made some distinctions.
Most goods are still taxed at a tax rate of 10%, but the tax rates for things like pocket watches and glass mirrors are as high as 50% to 100%.
As for tobacco, which has not yet been fully expanded, it is possible to impose a tax of 200% in the future.
At that time, the wealthy businessmen smoked, which would be equivalent to paying taxes to the court.
"Your Majesty, these sofas and mattresses are essential things for the people at home, and they have nothing to do with luxury goods."
Cheng Yaojin doesn’t care about the other things, but if he puts things like sofas into the luxury goods industry, he must not ignore them.
Fortunately, Li Shimin just left everyone to chat today and didn't really do anything.
