Chapter 462 A wonderful journey to Kaifeng City (3)

It was almost a quarter of an hour later when Du Baojun calmed down and returned to normal.

Or to put it another way, this guy is a qualified businessman, and when it comes to the critical moment of business, he returns to his true colors.

After the imperial concubine made a speech hoping that everyone would be loyal to the country and become good businessmen of the Song Dynasty.

This new product recommendation meeting immediately entered a meaty scene.

At the imperial concubine's signal, a group of women with pretty faces, graceful figures, and elegant manners walked in, carrying exquisite plates covered with red silk and made of rosewood like water.

With a "swish" sound, the red silk on top was all lifted up, revealing the true appearance of these new products.

And the concubine and her husband also boasted like a lotus flower.

No! They should be introduced one by one.

"Please see, these items called glasses are made from rare transparent crystals and are finely polished by master craftsmen. When worn, they are specially designed to treat symptoms such as old eyesight, drowsiness and other symptoms.

If there is a wealthy family with related eye diseases, they will definitely spend a lot of money to buy it.

It's just that the materials for this object are rare, and it would take a master craftsman three months to polish one, so the quantity is not large, and there are currently only ten pairs for sale.

Each person is limited to purchasing two pairs at most, and the next batch will have to wait until January~"

"This thing is called perfume. Just apply a little on your body and the fragrance will linger all day long. It's much stronger than traditional incense and powder.

It is simply a must-have for literati and elegant people when they go out to discuss poetry and poetry~"

"This thing is called Shaodaozi Liquor..."

In the concubine's narration, Du Baojun completely ignored the concubine's face and the fierceness. His mind was spinning rapidly, and he began to carefully consider every new product.

Analyze whether these novel goods can be sold if they are brought back to the Jiangnan area; if the purchase price is removed, how much money can be earned after the expenses along the way, etc.

It was okay not to analyze the results, but when he did, he was surprised to find something.

Whether it's a kind of glasses specially used to treat eye diseases of the elderly, or a perfume that should only be used by women and rabbits, these are novel things that have never been seen before.

It's just some steelmaking that is not rare to them at all.

Because of the astonishingly low selling price here in the Commerce Department, as long as it is brought back along the way, it can make at least five times the profit.

No matter where you put it, it can be considered a good business.

It's just that compared to those glasses, perfume, soap, glass and other items, the profit is not large.

Then, some bigger problems came up? Du Baojun quickly looked around and found that what he could think of, others had naturally thought of.

In a huge hall, there were more than a hundred other merchants with enthusiastic faces, and they seemed to be looking to buy.

It was still the kind of person who not only had to trade all the goods shipped this time for the goods of the Commerce Department, but also spent all the money he carried.

So with such huge purchasing power, the Department of Commerce claims that it takes several months to make one piece of treasure. Is the quantity sufficient?

Sure enough, such worries soon became reality.

Everyone shouted, "Bring me twenty sets of glasses," "Bring me a hundred bottles of perfume, and I want a thousand yuan of soap," and "I want all the glasses, and I can double the price."

among.

The noble concubine and husband-in-law, who had always maintained impeccable manners and straightened her back, sat on the Grand Master's chair and drank tea.

After putting down the tea cup in his hand, he said to everyone:

"Everyone, please be patient. As you value the products of the Department of Commerce so much, I would like to thank you for your kindness on behalf of the imperial court. However, the quantity of the goods is limited. I am afraid that even 20% of the quantity you requested will not be satisfied."

After hearing this, countless people in the hall looked anxious and prepared to risk their lives and offer a high price.

Anyway, there is only one of these good things, and after buying them back, they are just selling them at a higher price.

However, after the noble concubine and her husband looked at everyone with a smile for a while, she opened her mouth and gave everyone a choice:

"The so-called no rules, no square or circle.

The imperial court considered that most of the goods that everyone bought back were the same, and there would inevitably be vicious competition with each other, which not only hurt each other's friendship, but also ruined the reputation of the imperial commerce department.

So we decided to implement the method of exclusive sales in that area starting from today.

That is to say, an item produced by the Commerce Department can only be sold exclusively by one merchant in each region; other merchants in the same region cannot get it if they want to purchase from the Commerce Division.

Therefore, for the exclusive right to sell in this area, the imperial court decided to auction it every two years, and the one with the highest price above the base price would get it.

If there are willing participants, you may wish to register, and then the auction will begin.

Considering the news you may have just heard, you may not have enough money and food on hand.

It doesn't matter! As long as you can pay more than 30% of the deposit and deliver the remaining two months, it will be fine; the Commerce Department does not charge money, only some money, grain, cloth, large animals and dozens of materials, but you can use the prices in Kaifeng City

to calculate.

However, if such a time limit is exceeded, not only the deposit will be confiscated, but the exclusive franchise will be re-auctioned~

In addition, if necessary, the workshops that produce the above products will be relocated to the south of the Yangtze River; you don't have to worry about the danger that this exclusive right will only last a few months."

The theory of finally moving to the south of the Yangtze River, although the concubine and husband-in-law said it a bit vaguely.

But no one could hear it. This was to reassure everyone and not worry about the threat of the golden man.

Even if the Jin came again and Kaifeng City couldn't resist it, they would just transport the craftsmen to the south of the Yangtze River in advance, and everyone could continue to do business relying on the natural insurance of the Yangtze River.

After hearing this, Du Baojun couldn't help but look around.

Immediately, you can see that everyone around you has an indescribable look of determination in their eyes.

Indeed! Every one of the people present here is naturally not a good person who can achieve this level of business.

It's hard to tell. As long as you seize such an exclusive right, you don't have to worry about running out of supplies; in the next two years, you can make a lot of money even if you just lie down.

Therefore, Du Baojun immediately made up his mind to get as much franchise rights as possible in Huzhou and the surrounding Lin'an area at the upcoming auction.

****

It was at 2:00 p.m. that afternoon, which was around 5:30.

Du Baojun, who had a rather complicated expression, walked out of the Business Department with a somewhat exhausted look, rubbing his temples.

The reason why such a situation occurs.

At that time, the official auction of the exclusive franchise rights of the Department of Commerce has ended.

During this process, Du Baojun made several purchases using all the cloth and silk delivered this time, as well as all the belongings he brought.

By paying a 30% deposit first and then making up the balance within the stipulated time, we won a total of twelve product franchises in the Huzhou area and two product franchises in the Lin'an area.

During the bidding process, the competition was too fierce, and money was as worthless as tiles and stones.

Du Baojun was under tremendous pressure, but his tight-fitting trousers were now wet with sweat.

Fortunately, now that everything is finalized, we just need to wait for him to return to Huzhou as soon as possible, raise more money, and transport more food and cloth, make up for the owed property, and completely win these franchises.

That's right! You should bring more cloth, grain and other goods when you come here.

On the one hand, it is to purchase some new products from the Commercial Department and make money after selling them.

On the other hand, what if some businesses around the Huzhou area are unable to make up for the money they owe due to certain things? It is only right to seize the opportunity.

But at this moment, Du Baojun, who wanted to leave the city and take a boat back to Huzhou immediately, did not set out overnight.

That is to celebrate the successful holding of today's auction. The Commerce Department will hold a banquet in the Fan Building to entertain everyone. The noble concubine and her husband will also attend.

As a result, Du Baojun can only set off early tomorrow morning.

Not to mention the noble concubine and husband-in-law, regardless of appearance, figure, taste, etc., it really makes people feel a little itchy after looking at her.

More importantly, as a businessman, Du Baojun had a mentality of making friends with key people so that things would be easier for him in the future.

But when Du Baojun hurried back to the inn where he lived, Zhun Bai planned to freshen up and dress up.

My own literary talents may not be outstanding in other places, but compared to other businessmen, as a talented person with a small reputation in the former Huzhou area, I will definitely be able to attract the limelight.

Maybe you will be treated favorably by the noble concubine and your daughter-in-law.

Little did he know that he was currently in the back hall of the Department of Commerce.

This girl, the imperial concubine, looked at the latest statistical report in front of her. When she was alone like this, she no longer cared about elegance and dignity.

I completely let myself go and smiled so brightly...

To have such a performance, it seems that the concubine cannot be blamed.

Who could tell that Hu Biao, a desperate man, would put such a heavy burden on her body?

You know! The city of Kaifeng, which had just been robbed by the Jin, was short of everything except a bunch of people. Plus, after the autumn harvest, it was about to go to war with the Jin.

Therefore, in terms of hundreds of kinds of materials such as cloth, grain, war horses, large livestock, medicinal materials, and raw lacquer, it can be said that everything is urgently needed, and the quantity is extremely astonishing.

Even after all the materials auctioned in today's auction are in place, there is still a huge gap for the overall terrifying demand.

But no matter what, today is obviously an excellent start.
To be continued...
