Despite the intimidation of the Zheng family and the Zhao family, after Shang Jinxiu's words of 'getting rich together' were released, some people were still tempted. There were many noble ladies who heard this that day, but in the end, most of them chose to wait and see, and only a quarter of them secretly contacted Shang Jinxiu in private to discuss doing business together.
Shang Jinxiu never expected everyone to agree, and she was not disappointed at all by such a result. After all, she just came to Jiaozhou, and there have been rumors that An Donghua has been disgusted by the emperor, and she thinks it's good that someone dares to take the risk to cooperate with her.
With a partner, the next step is to discuss how to cooperate and how to distribute benefits. Whether it is 'Yipinxian' or 'Yangshengtang', it is her hard work, even if she cooperates with others, she will not hand over control. In other words, the other person can only be a shareholder, who helps her and receives dividends, but has no decision-making power and is not allowed to interfere in the operation of the store.
The aristocrats involved are all empty of identity and connections, but they are not good at management, and they have been eating their old books and living a life of only going in and out. They naturally have no objection to Shang Jinxiu's request, what they care about is how much dividends they can get.
Everyone wanted to get more benefits, and Shang Jinxiu's people had a verbal war with them, and finally negotiated a result that was satisfactory to both parties. Then even if the contract is drawn up, it is signed and pledged.
Although he shared a part of the benefits, Shang Jinxiu didn't feel pity. With the help of these local snakes, her business will definitely go more smoothly. Even if you start earning less, you can always earn it back after a long time.
What's more, once Anton Hua took control of Jiaozhou, he gained real power. Naturally, these nobles will obediently spit out everything they swallowed!
Shang Jinxiu still has a lot of silver in his hand, after making an agreement. The nobles who were waiting for the silver to be divided took the initiative to choose a place for her. Jiaozhou is quite big, and these people are the place to be selected. Naturally, they all belong to their own sphere of influence, and when the time comes, they will open a shop, and they are not afraid of people who are not long-sighted to make trouble.
Probably too anxious to divide the silver, the nobles not only helped Shang Jinxiu choose a good place, but even the craftsmen helped find it. Shang Jinxiu sent a steward to contact the supervision, and as soon as the shop was down, the decoration began.
It's busy here, and Antonhua is not idle, most of the people he brought are scattered. began to buy manpower to entrap forces. Originally, what An Donghua lacked most was silver, but with Shang Jinxiu's help, he didn't have to worry about silver at all. Relying on the money in his hand, he has reached an agreement with some small nobles who are unwilling to accept the status quo in private, and has attracted a lot of manpower for himself.
The people of Jiaozhou are fierce, and some people in the deep mountains live quite poorly, and the men hunt for a living on weekdays, and their skills are good. Human life here is not worth anything at all, just give them a sum of silver. can give you your life.
Anton Hua relied on the silver provided by Shang Jinxiu to buy many dead soldiers.
The shops of 'Yipinxian' and 'Yangshengtang' are still being renovated, and the 'Woodware Workshop' has been quietly opened, and the business is naturally incomparable with 'Yipinxian' and 'Yangshengtang'. However, the furniture inside is novel, beautiful and practical, and there are many people who buy it.
It just so happens that there is a lot of timber in Jiaozhou. It is suitable for the furniture business.
After the opening of the 'Carpentry Workshop', the nobles who had reached an agreement with Shang Jinxiu at the beginning took the initiative to come to the door. I want to get a piece of the deal. At this time, they were needed, and Shang Jinxiu did not refuse. A new one was signed in accordance with the previous agreement.
It's just that 'Yipinxian' and 'Yangshengtang' are still being renovated, and the opening of a branch of 'Wood Workshop' has been temporarily slowed down.
In the blink of an eye, two months have passed, and the branches of 'Yipinxian' and 'Yangshengtang' have all been renovated, and it is time to open. Previously, 'Yipinxian' and 'Yangshengtang' opened, and Shang Jinxiu was not less worried. This time was different, the nobles were waiting for the money, and they were even more nervous about the business situation of the shop than Shang Jinxiu.
In order to usher in a good start, there is no need for Shang Jinxiu to take the initiative to mention it, these nobles have done everything possible to mobilize all their connections, publicize hard, and all those who can be invited have given invitations.
Although they are only small nobles, after all, their identities are there, and more people look at their faces. In addition, "Yipinxian" and "Yangshengtang" are also the names of Jiaozhou Palace, and there are naturally many people who are willing to appreciate their faces.
Shang Jinxiu's kiln has already been put into production, and all the tableware comes out of the kiln. This time, the tableware not only includes porcelain with unique shapes in the past, but also glass ware. These glazed wares were completely used by Shang Jinxiu for advertising, and the final effect was also very significant.
At this time, although there are glazed ware, but because the firing method is not mature enough, the fired glazed ware is beautiful, but it is too easy to break, and the yield is low, so it has directly become a luxury product.
Shang Jinxiu used the firing method found from the book, which was not only inexpensive, but also more exquisite, rich and colorful and gorgeous.
Such good things can only be seen in luxurious private rooms, and the quality of those placed outside is very ordinary. Even so, it's enough to catch the eye.
On the opening day, many people asked where the goods were purchased from, which made the stewards in the shop feel a lot of pressure. And after knowing this, the nobles who cooperated with Shang Jinxiu also came to the door. These people are like sharks that smell blood, and their eyes are shining.
Although they are not good at business, they all know the value of glazed ware. They all understand that once they open a shop and put things out to sell, they are absolutely developed!
Shang Jinxiu's kiln not only produces tableware, but also some ornaments. She opened a kiln, so naturally she wanted to sell things. Since the kiln was put into operation, batches of finished products have been fired in it, all of which are piled up in the warehouse, and when the time is ripe, they will be taken out and sold.
The advertisements for 'Yipinxian' and 'Yangshengtang' were very successful, but Shang Jinxiu did not plan to open the shop now. As the saying goes, scarcity is expensive, and if things are too easy to come out, the price will not go up.
What's more, it didn't take long for the kiln to be put into operation, and although a lot of goods were accumulated, they couldn't be supplied at all when they were really sold. So she decided to take the boutique route, first to whet people's appetites, and then open an auction to process things.
As the business of 'Yipinxian' and 'Yangshengtang' gets better and better, there are more and more customers, and there are more and more people who are greedy for glassware.
It wasn't until a month later that Shang Jinxiu let people out, and a month later, 'Liulixuan' opened, and there would be a small-scale auction on the opening day.
The nobles who had long smelled the smell of blood naturally participated in it, so as soon as Shang Jinxiu let out his words, these nobles hurriedly called friends to help sell, and in just seven days, the news not only spread throughout Jiaozhou, but even people outside Jiaozhou knew about it.
Many people are very curious about the glaze, and the nobles deliberately spread the gods, and many people are ready to go to Jiaozhou to open their eyes.
At the same time, 'Liulixuan' is in full swing of renovation.
Time came to the opening of 'Liulixuan' in a blink of an eye, and the day before the opening, Shang Jinxiu had already selected the things ready for auction. Everything is made very exquisitely, and each glass vessel has a bright color and unique shape, which makes people can't take their eyes off it.
There were a lot of people who heard the news, but the auction place was not in the 'Liulixuan', but was placed in the lobby of 'Yipinxian' by Shang Jinxiu. The lobby of 'Yipinxian' is very open, and there is a platform for performances in the middle, and there are many tables and chairs, which can be used as an auction venue.
For an auction, Shang Jinxiu also deliberately set up tickets. Only those who have bought a ticket will be able to enter, and the tickets are divided into regular tickets and VIP tickets. The closer you are to the booth, the higher the price of the ticket.
As long as the person who buys the ticket will be given a refreshment after entering the venue, and the refreshment will be more abundant if you buy a VIP ticket.
The gift is not filling, but it is very appetizing. So once you get in, you usually have to pay for something out of your own pocket.
There are not many glazed objects in the auction, and there are only ten pieces in total, all of which are the best things selected by Shang Jinxiu. Once the quantity of these things increases, they cannot be sold at a high price, so Shang Jinxiu naturally has to strictly control the quantity.
The person in charge of the auction is the steward of 'Liulixuan', who was specially taught by Shang Jinxiu, and this person himself is very clever and very capable of fooling people. The key is that he is loyal and honest in appearance, and he seems to feel extraordinarily sincere, and he will be fooled by him if he is not careful.
The most treacherous is of course Shang Jinxiu, every piece of glazed ware, she has made up a legendary story, and even the craftsman who made it was blown into a master by her, which simply means - it is from a famous family, a legend, unique, you deserve it.
Anton Hua already knew that Zhao Lixian was deceived by Shang Jinxiu, and he already had a deep understanding of Shang Jinxiu's ability to fool people.
After all, he is the eldest son, the king of Jiaozhou, even if he has been disgusted by the emperor, after all, he represents the royal family. As soon as he arrived, the whole auction was a little lively, coupled with the auctioneer's flickering, the sound of bidding came and went.
Anton Hua listened to the voices of the bargain, putting on a cool face, but he felt very uncomfortable. He thought of the agreement he had with Shang Jinxiu, and instantly felt that he had lost a lot!
At that time, he didn't know Shang Jinxiu's ability, and he didn't have any idea that Shang Jinxiu wanted to do business, so he didn't have any objection to Shang Jinxiu's proposal, but now he found that he was wrong. Thinking of those nobles who didn't know how much benefit they had received from Shang Jinxiu, he felt his heart hold back! (To be continued......)
