Chapter 407: Amazing Girl, Amazing Socks.
Amazing girl?
Look! I'm not wrong! Gao Li's side, it's really mysterious, and you can even guess this kind of thing casually?
Regardless of whether people have calculated it or have any special means, after all, it is not a major event related to the national system, and it is just a temporary increase in some goods, so it is natural to agree.
After sending the letter back to China, Nguyen Suya soon received a reply from her father, and there was only one letter.
"Emperor Wu may be coming!"
Ruan Suya was still young after all, and she didn't understand why her father would suddenly say such a sentence, because it didn't sound like anything related. However, my father did not explain in the letter, but only said that in this case, this time I went to Yannan City, and I couldn't be in the mood to visit a friend's house. It's formal, it's formal!
On the other hand, the demon falcon released last night has also arrived in Shangjing today, and the emperor received the information, only glanced at it, and suddenly sighed in his heart. He immediately found the eighth prince, and when the eighth prince saw it, his brows tightened.
"We just said that there are no cracks in the heavens and the earth, and the entrance to the heavenly and human realms has opened in Yannan City. Gao Li, Gao Li, why are you again? Why are you always there?"
"Eighth child, get ready, let's go in person. The emperor said.
"Is there a private visit to Weifu?" asked the eighth prince.
"No, in the name of the southern tour, go straight to Yannan. The emperor said.
"Do you want to bring the Heavenbreaker Legion?" asked the Eighth Prince.
"Take it with you, as mentioned in this letter, Gao Li has actually created an ant demon similar to the Heaven-Breaking Legion? I want to see if his ant-demon is powerful, or my Heaven-Breaking Legion is powerful?" said the Emperor.
"When to go?"
"The sooner the better!"
Did this incident have any impact on Gao Li?
Answer: Yes.
So, how big is the impact?
Answer: Actually, it's not that big.
After all, since Gao Li came to this world, he knew that this worldview was so mysterious, in fact, he had already been mentally prepared. So, what is happening in front of him is actually just confirming his guess.
In the summer, Lizhuang's clothing series has been rolled out across the board, and the flow of funds is stable. With the sale of Lizhuang cotton cloth, as Gao Li said, cotton cultivation began to develop in various places. Growing cotton is much more profitable than grain, and many landlords and farmers want to make a lot of money through cotton. However, with the help of the Ma Cloning Instrument, Wu Youcai's subordinates have already divided the cotton into three, six, nine and so on, with high quality and high price, and inferior bottom price, so that the cotton cloth has also begun to be graded. The finest cotton cloth is preferentially supplied to Li Zhuang for the production of the finest garments. Inferior fabrics flowed into the major cloth estates and became the stock of large households. The third-class fabrics began to enter the homes of some ordinary people who had a little spare money.
Gao Li is also very happy to see this kind of development. Although it is fast to make rich money, the rich are limited after all, and only by expanding the market as much as possible can we really make more money.
It's the same with stockings.
Stockings are the first products produced by Gao Li when he came to the world, but they are the beginning of all Gao Li's business. Since the start of production, there has been no technical update, which is not suitable. On top of that, it is a short-lived consumable and can be recycled much faster than the average garment. Now only the richest ladies dare to wear it, and Gao Li needs the market to go down further. Therefore, at the critical moment, he launched the jacquard series of stockings at the right time.
Weaving jacquard is not a simple technical process, especially with such delicate fibers. However, there is no difficulty in nature. This is no different from woven jacquard. Therefore, when Gao Li asked the spider demon of Lizhuang to produce jacquard stockings, the spider demons of Lizhuang said that it could be realized. The principles are ready-made, but the patterns naturally can't be too complicated.
It is the silk spider that weaves the silk stockings, but it is the spider demon who really controls the silk spider, in order to meet Gao Li's requirements, the silk spiders carried out a series of research and public relations, and released the autumn and winter jacquard stockings as soon as possible.
As soon as the new stockings were released, they immediately caused a sensation in Binh Duong City. The new jacquard stockings are slightly more expensive than the old ones, and because they are available in limited quantities, they need to be sold in limited quantities. The price of the old stockings was reduced, so that it instantly fell into the price range that ordinary rich people can afford. This immediately sparked a rush to buy in Binh Duong City.
Some time ago, some imitation hosiery products began to appear in the world. It is not a Lizhuang product, and the workmanship is relatively inferior, but the price is also cheap. Although we all know that it is a shame to buy pirated copies, I can't stop some people from not caring about it. At this time, in Pingyang City, there were many businesses that imitated Li Zhuang clothing, and Gao Li did not pursue this. Anyway, if you eat meat yourself, you have to leave some soup for others.
Li Xu is such a soup drinker.
Li Xu has been living a very leisurely life recently, and his shop has gradually gained a foothold in Pingyang City! His tailor shop specializes in selling the same style of clothing in Lizhuang, and whenever Lizhuang is new, he will let the tailors in his shop look at it, and when it is almost done, he will make it himself. Maybe it's not as good as others, the fabric is not as good as others, and the workmanship is not as delicate as others, but we can't stand it cheap.
The same is true of the stockings, and his stockings are also woven by the spider demon, but they are not the spider demons of Li Zhuang, but he hired them from elsewhere. In order to imitate Li Zhuang's stockings, he specially bought a lot, disassembled and studied them little by little, and finally let the hired spider demon imitate similar stockings, and then sold them at half price. These imitation stockings are of average workmanship, but the price is much cheaper. His greatest pleasure every day is to sit in the teahouse opposite the flagship store in Lizhuang, looking at the rich daughter and the lady of a wealthy family who came out of the flagship store, dreaming that sooner or later he can marry such a lady. Then, today, when he came to the flagship store in Lizhuang, he found that it was surrounded by all kinds of carriages!
He squeezed into the teahouse, lit a pot, and asked the old brother at the next table: "Brother, what's going on on the other side?"
The old brother smiled slightly and said, "Are you stupid? ”
All year round, at the end of each season, Li Zhuang has a small price adjustment, on this day, not only Pingyang City, but even many rich women from the surrounding big cities will come here to buy, first come, first served, fast hands and slow hands. Because the price of Lizhuang clothing has always been high, even if the price is adjusted a little, it is actually quite a lot. This kind of competition-like price adjustment activity is even jokingly called: "Season Finale." ”
Because it's like a competition, the women who have to snap up every time are asked to be higher, faster, and stronger.
In fact, for this kind of season finale, it is not a good marketing tool in the eyes of the flagship store. Because although Li Zhuang's clothing is no longer in short supply, it can still be sold after all, and there is no need to discount it yourself.
But what Gao Li means is that this is like a small surprise, giving everyone a hope. Buy early and enjoy early, buy late to enjoy discounts. Wouldn't a 'season finale' at the end of each quarter be more fun than any promotional tactic?
Of course, Li Xu knows about this activity in the flagship store, but there seem to be too many people today, right? Although the things in the flagship store are cheaper, they are also relatively cheap, but they don't need money! There are many new faces today, and one of them he also knows once bought imitation Li Zhuang clothes from him. What's the matter, she also has the money to buy the original?
"Oh yes. The old brother in the teahouse said in a low voice: "You don't know yet, do you? The flagship store has launched a new jacquard stockings today, and the price of the old stockings has been adjusted to half of the original price!"
Li Xu's ears buzzed. The original price of stockings was ten taels of silver for a pair, and half of the original price was five taels. And the imitations that Li Xu sells himself also sell for five taels!
The cost of stockings is very high, and the spider demon hired by Li Xu is not from Li Zhuang, but from a certain gentleman. He borrowed the spider demon from the gentry to help him make stockings, and he had to give money to the gentry. Because they don't know how to weave the stockings in Li Zhuang, the spider demons of the gentry are not efficient and do not produce much. The wages given to them plus the benefits and freight fees given to the gentry, a pair of silk must have the cost of two or three taels of silver. Selling five taels is exactly at a point where the profit is very high, but not so high.
Compared with Li Zhuang's original stockings, the outdoor durability of Li Xu's manufacturing is relatively poor. In addition, there is the problem of poor uniformity, but if there is not too much of the leg exposed, it is not a big problem. But now, the price of ordinary stockings has been reduced to five taels of silver a pair, so no one has any reason to buy his imitation anymore!
This is a typical operation of the official to force piracy to death.
"I'll look for them!" Li Xu slapped the table, a little upset.
"What are you going to say?" the old man asked with a smile.
"Aren't they bullying people!" Li Xu said as he poured a cup of tea into his mouth.
"So, you're just rushing in like that, saying they're bullying?" laughs your brother.
"It's just bullying people! Obviously we're so rich, can't you let us make some money? Aren't you just trying to kill us by lowering the price? It's clear that you're all the princes, and you're still so greedy!" Li Xu became more and more excited the more he spoke, and his voice attracted the attention of the tea customers around him.
"In that case, you should go over there and say, what kind of prestige are you playing here?" the old man still laughed.
"Go and go! Who am I afraid of! When I get over there, I will definitely let them know how good I am!" Li Xu said.
But at this moment, a figure came in from outside and said with a smile: "Really, can you let me see how powerful you are?"
When Li Xu looked at the man, he shut up and sat on the chair, not daring to move.
The man was short in stature, with dark skin and a long face, with three fangs made of metal braces. It's none other than Hong Sanya.
For most of the year, Hong Sanya has grown a lot and grown a lot. But what really scares him is not his fangs.
Outside the teahouse, behind Hong Sanya, there was a group of people, dressed in black, holding black sticks, without saying a word. It was the Black Stick Gang that Gao Li left behind to say it was useful!
"Master...... You're here!" the teahouse guy hurriedly came up and greeted.
"Leave me alone, I just happened to hear this guy talking nonsense here, and I just wanted to see what kind of dissatisfaction you have with our host. ”
As he spoke, Hong Sanya picked up Li Xu's chin with the stick in his hand and grinned, "Come, talk to me well." I don't understand, I'm going to smash your face today!"
