When Master Bu saw that the shopping guide took out a lighter and some other gifts and put them on the counter, he was suddenly furious, pointing to the countertop with his finger and scolding: "Bastard!" What is this for? ”

These two dog things actually dare to be the master of the master's money...... Although the quota for three people has not been used up, I have already bought enough, master? What do you two slaves want? Plagiarism in front of the old man?

"Back to the master." Chang Sui Bugui was not busy at this time, and respectfully bent over and said: "This is the wife's body, before coming to tell the little one to buy some things and give them back." ”

Immediately afterwards, the little servant Bu Mo also said side by side: "Master, the young master and the young lady asked the little ones to go back with some things." ”

"Ahh It turned out to be Madame's private money! Master Bu never expected that it would be this kind of answer. The next moment, his anger instantly turned into nothing, and the fear of being insulted, beaten, and scratched by his old wife for many years quickly filled his whole body-Master Bu was used to being afraid, and his acquaintances knew it.

"Bastard, sir, I'm talking about a fire sickle!" After many years of experience in turning in, Master Bu resolved the main contradiction with a trick: "Don't you know that I can't get used to Dunhill?" The fire sickles have all been replaced by Marlboro's! ”

"Whoa!" There was no fluctuation in the hearts of the two subordinates, and they nodded yes.

......

For the rest of the day, the group forced to browse all the shopping malls on Chihkan Street. As with all business trips to the area, the tour group returned with a full load.

Master Bu and Fang Tangjing bought a lot of all kinds of large bags of goods, so much so that Bu Gui had to rent a small cart on the spot, and ran back and forth a few times just to deliver goods to the hotel.

In addition to small gifts, exquisite sets of glass tea sets, sets of glass jewelry, sets of vanity mirrors, sets of women's cosmetics, perfumes, cigarettes, high-end deerskin bags and shoes, bamboo rat skin robes, myopia and reading glasses, Paradise brand iron umbrellas, thermos pots, thermos cups, kerosene lamps, kerosene stoves......

It is human nature to lack resistance to beautiful objects, and it is an implicit worship of wisdom.

In the late '70s, the Friendship Store, which caters only to foreigners, diplomats and government officials, sold peanut butter and Hershey's chocolate, as well as American refrigerators and washing machines.

Since only foreign exchange vouchers are accepted as currency, "the guards will prevent anyone who looks Chinese from entering the store." Even so, many people peek outside the store every day, looking for a chance to go inside.

Later, in the 80s, Japanese household appliances that entered the country began to be queued up all night to buy, and then consumption was upgraded, and people began to chase big brothers, luxury cars, kidney machines, and Canada geese......

These vivid examples show us that goods with high added value are bound to be sought after by people in relatively backward areas unless they are physically isolated, and this trend cannot be stopped by ideology or hostility.

General Kim was so poor that he still had to import hundreds of millions of dollars of luxury goods from the enemy every year to distribute them to the top of the Workers' Party - it was because he didn't have knowledge, but if he really had knowledge, he didn't give it a try?

Far away, the story goes back to the seventeenth century Bu Lao.

Although Master Bu was also reactionary in terms of ideology and hated the Cao Group, this did not prevent his old man from sending all the money he brought this time to the store opened by the "Cao family". Relying on the business visas handled at the time of entry, the visiting group spent frantically all the way on Chihkan Street, making some small businessmen who lacked both money and shopping procedures drooling with envy.

When I went back to the hotel in the evening, the three of Master Bu and the servant settled the accounts with the goods in the house...... Well, together with the silver brought by the lord himself, as well as the public funds advanced on business trips, plus the private shopping money entrusted by the lady to the next person, the total amount of more than 2,700 taels of silver was spent in an afternoon.

"Tomorrow, please ask someone from the counter to come and do that...... Well, downwind consignment. At this point, Master Bu could only let the little guy rub his feet, and at the same time smiled bitterly and instructed the long follower - he was now convinced of the travel guide, since it said that the consignment was safe and secure, and the fragile goods also came with additional reed packaging, then of course his old man would not bother to run the luggage by himself.

At the same time, Fang Tangjing, who was opposite the door, was also counting the goods. He came to Taiwan for investigation and research, and he was already responsible for procurement, so his purchasing power was even stronger than that of Master Bu. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, in addition to the military heads, the gentry had a lot of money, and a few thousand taels of silver, and a family of middle-aged scholars could easily take it out.

Fang Tangjing, the master and servant, have bought all the quotas of commodities today. Including the thick canvas, denim, and khaki cloth that Master Bu didn't like, Fang someone from the cotton-producing area in the south of the Yangtze River bought two copies and prepared to take them back for study.

Inspecting, recording the spoils, eating, bathing and drinking coffee, Mr. Bu happily spent the night shopping.

Early the next morning, after contacting Shunfeng Express, the horse-drawn carriage quickly stopped in front of the hotel. After watching his goods being packed, Master Bu filled in the address of Xinghua Mansion on the triptych list.

After that, the client doesn't have to worry about it. Because Xinghua Fucheng is a second-tier city after Fuzhou, Shunfeng has local outlets and will deliver goods to your door. The same is true for Fang Tangjing. The goods were sent directly to Hangzhou, and they also went back with a letter from home.

......

After finishing the procurement business, Master Bu finally breathed a sigh of relief. The three major goals of this trip to Taiwan: arms procurement, procurement, and wind watching, and now there is only one of the easiest and most free.

So Mr. Bu took out the travel guide from his sleeve, and after studying and researching, the head of the group immediately decided: everyone walked to the dock to visit the shipyard first, and after lunch, they hired a car to go around the fields.

The boss spoke, and the others naturally had no objections. So after everyone sent off the express, they walked to the shipyard along the wharf area by the Taijiang River.

In the shipyard, in addition to the hangers and ant-like workers, Master Bu and they also saw a huge warship.

The Western-style battleship, which is more than 70 meters long and has a double gun deck, has completed its main contours, and workers are installing the top deck and mast. Standing on the pier, visitors can clearly see the majestic hull of the ship and the steel crane painted orange and red.

"This is the Cao family's reliance on the sea frontier." Master Bu looked at the prototype of the tall giant ship, and said lightly while brushing his beard.

Fang Tangjing's attention was on the steel frame crane. Looking at the iron frame that was erected like a toy, and the next moment when he used his slender long arm to flexibly lift the bundle of ship planks to a height of a few zhang, he also sighed sincerely: "That iron orange tree is not an ordinary thing, and the skills of his generation are best in the world, and in time, I am afraid that no one can cure it." ”

"Humph!" Master Bu snorted heavily: "Now that no one can cure it, if the court is not vigilant, the catastrophe will be instant!" ”

Fang Tangjing realized that he had accidentally hooked up the patriotic enthusiasm of the old angry youth again, so he quickly put the topic aside - he knew what the old angry youth had been planning, but he didn't want the old angry youth to do something before the end of the inspection and affect himself.

After visiting the shipyard, it was already noon, and Mr. Bu, who was not in a good mood, found a canteen on the pier. After lunch, the old man took out the guide and looked at it, and then took everyone to the car rental agency to rent a car.

In the process, they also saw Westerners participating in the auction fighting in front of a warehouse at the dock, and by the way, they also saw a man who looked like a coachman being smashed on the head by a flying hammer...... After Mr. Bu scolded Sven for sweeping the floor, he hurried to the car rental shop.

There are no sedan chairs in the rental car of the big man, and there are all horse-drawn carriages here, but there are two styles of carrying passengers and goods. After taking out the banknotes and visas, Master Bu easily chartered a sightseeing four-wheeled carriage.

The sightseeing carriage was open-top and shiny all over. The blue bodywork, yellow trim and silver tin wheels make the carriage look beautiful. In addition to the lack of rubber tires, the two short Dian horses pulling the carriage also made the carriage lose its British style, and the force dropped a lot.

Fortunately, Master Bu has never seen the carriage of later generations, so when he sits on the cushion, he still feels very satisfied: the smooth road surface and the spring shock absorption system make the old man's butt very comfortable, to be honest, he has never sat in such a stable and comfortable carriage in Daming.

Since the carriage can only seat four people, the old man left Chang Sui Bu Gui to move freely - this is in Bu Gui's arms, and it is definitely better to go to the street to see the girl than to go to the field to see the rice.

The carriage soon turned onto the road to the farm to the east, and although the two Dian horses did not run fast, they ran smoothly and were suitable for passenger transport.

The handlebar is called Lao Hai, and he is a middle-aged man with dark skin and a sturdy body. Like all taxi drivers in the world, Lao Hai is very talkative, so Fang Tangjing, who is interested in research, naturally talks to Lao Hai.

Don't talk about it, I don't know, I was shocked when I talked about it: it turned out that this Lao Hai was already the first batch of people who successfully started a business in the local area.

This Lao Hai was originally a grocery shop in Taizhou City, and it can be regarded as a small family asset after two generations of operation. I don't want to go to the New Year's disaster: the government wants to "act as a comprador" for a batch of goods worth two huge sums of money and designate Lao Hai to undertake it.

This kind of trick, which is equivalent to grabbing for nothing, was called "and buying" in the Tang and Song dynasties, and in short, it was a bad method used by the government to loot businessmen.

And after Lao Hai heard the bad news, he didn't sit still. He first asked someone to inquire about the inside story of the matter, and after finding that it was irretrievable, he did not stop doing it, and secretly sold all the valuable goods to his relatives at a low price at night.

Next, Lao Hai arranged for his wife and daughter to secretly go outside the city to wait for him to meet. Before leaving, Lao Hai did one last thing: he gave the half-price of the deed to a pawnshop opened by a big family in the city.

In the end, the government only got a little worthless goods, Lao Hai ran away, the deed returned to the big family, and the officials did not dare to come to the door to ask for it.

The reason why Lao Hai acted so radically was precisely the crossing force - Lao Hai had taken a boat to Dayuan to do groceries before, so he knew that he was welcome here.
