Chapter 68: The Hall of Treasures opens
Xilin City, one of the four major cities in the east, has more than 200,000 residents. As one of the important cities in the western part of the country, Xilin City is the most developed agricultural city among the four major cities, so it is also the largest grain producing area in the country.
Xilin City is divided into four blocks, the middle and west blocks are the commercial districts, the north block is the area where the powerful live, and the south block is the rich area.
The shops in the East Block mainly operate a variety of shops with high prices or strong cultural atmosphere, such as calligraphy and painting shops, stationery shops, pottery shops, gold shops, high-end cloth shops, high-end restaurants and so on.
The shops in the West Block mainly deal in daily necessities, including grain and oil stores, ordinary cloth shops, etc., and there are many hawkers who set up stalls to sell all kinds of vegetables, melons and fruits, as well as sundries.
As soon as Mu En entered Xilin City, he went straight to the East Block. He deliberately chose to rent a shop in the East Block and named it Zhenpintang.
Before opening the store in the Treasure Hall, Mu En arranged for his two apprentices to inquire about the situation of the powerful people in Xilin City, including their backgrounds, family situations, etc., and compiled a detailed list. Based on this list, Mu En gave these characters an opening gift respectively, and then decided the date of the unveiling of the store.
Xilin City City Lord's Mansion, City Lord Ao Tianxing was sitting in the study, and when he was practicing calligraphy, his housekeeper Li Zhong walked in and said: "Master Qiyu, recently there is a merchant group named Xinghua Kingdom, who has come all the way from the Western Regions to Xilin City, and wants to open a treasure hall to sell some rare things, this is their gift to you. â
Ao Tianxing was stunned when he heard this, but he had a disapproving attitude, and said to himself: "There are really many countries in the Western Regions, Xinghua Country? â
"Master, may I ask what to do with their gifts?" Li Zhong bent down slightly, lowered his head, as if he hadn't heard Ao Tianxing's self-talk, and continued to ask.
"Rare things?" Ao Tianxing wanted to send it away casually, but suddenly remembered Li Zhong's words, but paused, it seemed that he was really attracted, and couldn't help but feel a little interested, "Since it's a gift from a foreign country, bring it to me to see." â
When Li Zhong heard this, he retreated to the door and softly beckoned the servants at the door to come in with the gifts from the Treasure Hall. Soon, Li Zhong took the gift from the Treasure Hall - three cosmetic boxes from the little servant, and then put them firmly on the desk of Ao Tianxing.
Aotianxing picked up one of the makeup boxes, flipped open the metal button, and the next second, only to see a bright light flash.
Ao Tianxing was shocked in his heart! When he looked closely, it turned out to be the reverse side of the makeup box, inlaid with a glass mirror. This light is reflected in this mirror.
When he looked in the mirror and saw his face very clearly, the shock in his heart was naturally indescribable. Such a mirror is estimated not to be seen in the East and leaving the country.
Even the well-informed Ao Tianxing couldn't help but exclaim: "Skillful! Even the best bronze mirror master can't polish this kind of mirror...... Unfortunately, it's just too small. â
Overjoyed, Ao Tianxing immediately looked through the vanity box, which contained a nail clippers, a wooden comb, and an imitation diamond ring...... Aotianxing can see at a glance that it is all women's supplies. It's just that I have to say that these gadgets are really very likable, and even a big man like him feels exquisite.
Ao Tianxing's eyes flashed, and his eyes made him quickly conclude that it could be seen that the rare things that this Xinghua country's merchant group was going to sell must be extraordinary.
Ao Tianxing thought about it, then distributed the three boxes one by one, and said to Li Zhong: "Three boxes, one for Mrs., one for the eldest lady, and the remaining one will be left in the study." â
According to Ao Tianxing's meaning, Li Zhong respectfully stepped forward and put away the two vanity boxes, and wanted to give them to the city lord's wife and daughter.
When Li Zhong sent the two vanity boxes to the inner courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion.
A female voice shouted in surprise in the inner courtyard: "What a beautiful gemstone ring! Uncle, is this a gift from my father?"
"The newly opened treasure hall in the city?"
"This is the jewel ring of the craftsman of the Western Regions?
"When will the real tasting open?"
"Tell my father that I still want more jewelry, and that I must go and see it when the hall opens. â
"Tell the eldest lady, the treasure hall will open tomorrow!" Li Zhong bent down slightly and said with a loving face.
In front of Li Zhong, it is Ao Tianxing's daughter, Ao Baozhu.
Li Zhong has lived in the City Lord's Mansion for more than 30 years, and has also served the Aotianxing City Lord's family for more than 30 years. It's been a long time since he's seen his eldest lady like an ornament so much. This made Li Zhong also interested in Zhenpintang. It seems that the ornaments in this treasure hall are very pleasing to women.
Li Zhong was still thinking about whether he should also let his mother-in-law go to the treasure hall and buy her a gemstone ring on the day of the opening of the treasure hall. I just don't know how much the makeup boxes and jewelry in the treasure hall will sell for, and will they be expensive......
The vanity box of the treasure hall entered the mansion of the city lord of Xilin City, as well as the inner mansions of some powerful people in the city, and it was able to spread among these female dependents, and the reputation was also gained. Although it is not enough to become a household name in Xilin City, it is not the goal that girls look forward to. They were waiting for the day when the Hall of Curiosities would open.
For the opening of the Treasure Hall, in addition to giving gifts, Mu En also did a lot of pre-opening preparations in Xilin City.
First of all, Mu En used a very small amount of money to hire thirty **-year-old children in Xilin City in the civilian area, let them wear clean clothes, and distribute advertising leaflets in the main traffic areas of Xilin City.
In order to ensure that the advertising flyer can be valued by customers. Mu En took great pains to write on the advertisement that as long as the female customer held the advertising leaflet and walked into the first 200 female customers of the treasure hall, even if they did not buy any goods, they could get a low-grade rouge giveaway.
Secondly, after giving small gifts, continue the upper offensive. Zhenpintang issued VIP cards to the ladies and ladies of Xilin City, and with the VIP cards, they could enjoy VIP treatment and 10% discount in Zhenpintang.
For this reason, Muen also built a VIP counter in the store. In the counter, there is a batch of particularly exquisite rings selected by Mu En from a pile of imitation diamond rings. This batch of rings, increase the sales price, specially for the priority selection of distinguished customers. No VIP card, no purchase eligibility. If you want to buy it, you must purchase a VIP card.
With these initiatives, Zhenpintang quickly gained a reputation in Xilin City.
On the day of the opening, the hall of the treasure hall was crowded with a large number of female customers for free rouge. At the same time, the VIP counter also satisfies the superior psychology of the ladies and ladies of the upper class.
Mu En sat in the hall, watching the steady flow of customers, smiling and squinting. âcj./picture/20150408_194811.jpgâ/
