Chapter 195: Ultimatum

Zhao Jiaren looked at the familiar decoration and the waitresses with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, and felt like a world away from home, and suddenly said: "By the way, Hu Minghui, your pricing is too low, Xiao said."

Hu Minghui glanced at it and said: "But at this price, we have also made a lot of money, just entered this market, in order to work hard with those time-honored brands, there must be some price wars." ”

In any case, Hu Minghui's Chow Tai Fook jewelry store, the cost is too low, the equipment is 21st century automation equipment, whether it is smelting gold or carving ornaments, it is not manpower, and the gold and raw gems from Australia are sorted out in large quantities, the cost is really negligible, so you can think that Hu Minghui is doing business without capital.

Zhao Jiaren said: "That's it, if you don't pay attention, soon, other friends will be crushed by you, which is an unfair business practice." ”

Hu Minghui frowned and thought about it, and said, "I feel that I am quite harmonious." ”

Zhao Jiaren said: "A shop, no matter how small, can support a lot of people, at least before expanding employment channels, what do you let those old craftsmen who are crushed by you do?" ”

Hu Minghui thought for a while and said, "Well, I do know that our machines may indeed push too many people directly into the wave of unemployment. ”

Zhao Jiaren said: "This is already in the calculation, using machines to push the career population to the colony, is also one of the plans, but don't you think, this kind of jewelry store destroyed, but the last handicraft craftsmen, they in history, themselves will suffer such a blow from the Jurchens entering the city, the countless turmoil in the imperial capital in the future, the Eight-Nation Alliance, the Japanese, and many times destroyed, it can be said that this kind of old craftsman, on behalf of the wisdom of our country's working people." ”

Hu Minghui touched his head, gradually straightened out this logic, seemed to have some thought, and said: "Okay, I'll raise the price immediately in the future, how about it." ”

Zhao Jiaren clasped his hands, thought for a while, and said: "According to the system, your gold group is to include the rare metal mining rights of the whole world, that is, the upstream referees and suppliers of the entire jewelry industry. ”

Hu Minghui said with a smile: "I'm completely different from those corrupt officials who can only talk about the psoas muscles, well, I probably understand that since I am responsible for mining the world's precious metal deposits, then I shouldn't open a jewelry store." ”

Zhao Jiaren shook his head and said: "It's nothing, in a special period, your store also has the responsibility of promoting our civilization to the world, I think, as long as the task of controlling the upstream channels is done well and the price is stabilized, after all, our gold is only low cost, there is no need to turn the gold and silver price ratio of this era upside down, of course, the specific price formulation, we do not have an agency like the Price Bureau, and only you can decide it yourself." ”

Hu Minghui said: "I understand, wait a few days, I will convene the owner of the decoration shop in the imperial capital, and discuss the supply with them, and the pricing of these days, wait for the opening of the big reward, and then it will go up, by the way, I think I understand, if friends come to me to string goods, they are profitable." ”

Zhong Jiajia suddenly said: "Sister Zhao, do you want to take a look at the gems here, but it's too cheap." ”

Women are like that, although they can treat the things here as their own, but when they can shop, no one can stop this interest.

Zhao Jiaren was about to agree, but suddenly it suddenly became clear that she had no interest in doing this, but instead thought about collecting the basic information of these shops on the commercial street of the imperial capital, well, let her students do it, and exercise their courage and ability, um.

Therefore, according to the old legend, there are three kinds of people in the world, men, women, and politicians.

After thinking for a while, I thought about whether I changed because I crossed over, and when I went to a world-famous jewelry store, I closed the store directly, so that I could choose comfortably, or because I was not the kind of daughter who was immersed in pleasure, in fact, I wanted to do something in my heart, but in the old time and space, her identity was destined to be stared at no matter what she did, and she was watching people with colored glasses.

Perhaps, after crossing, I am really like a fish in water.

Zhao Jiaren felt sorry for herself for a while, and suddenly her brows stretched, and with a little excitement, she and Zhong Jiajia selected these products made of gold.

"Sister Zhao, I remember, what is the Mountain of Light, as well as several well-known gems in the world, are all found in India, we can't lag behind, wait until we get the Mountain of Light, you say, what is it made of, it can show more prestige, well, how about the host or official wearing it?"

Zhao Jiaren's eyes shone slightly, as a woman, she may be indifferent to gold and silver jewelry, but the Mountain of Light is definitely a priceless treasure, in fact, there are only a few years left before the birth of the Mountain of Light is excavated, just like Li Xiangqian and others' plan, in this process, I hope that India can be seized and governed, after all, India is an indispensable part of their plan.

As a new store, according to the established rules, they should do what they should do, to the shops near the store to send a small gift, firecrackers to make a noise, recently, almost every day there are new stores opened, people are not surprised, however, the news that this gold shop has the background of the palace can not be hidden, from the beginning, the elders have called a few sets of shops The best house, is to make a good idea to open a store, and to the back, many people who fancy the lot, want to rely on the wealth to win the people, many have inquired, This place has long been favored by the nobles in the palace, so forget it.

Therefore, I have to admit that Chow Tai Fook jewelry store, from the very beginning, has been concerned by many people who know the inside story, therefore, there are many people who come to shop, and they are also stunned by the "opening three-day" discount promotion.

Zhao Jiaren compared, and suddenly thought about whether someone would propose to him, and he was also nervous in his heart, and suddenly felt a woman's voice.

In this ancient period, the original business model of the gold shop was very ancient, if you want to buy something, you have to enter the store that is guarded by layers, close the door, and only then does an old man take out a plate of various ornaments, which is basically to treat people as thieves in general, of course, there have been people who rob or swallow gold ornaments directly without discipline.

Adhering to the 21st century Chow Tai Fook look, the security standards here are definitely very strong, but they definitely don't make guests feel that they are being watched and observed, most of them are men who come to watch, however, there is also a woman, who seems to be followed by a few maids and servants, which is a bit powerful.

"Wrap them all up for me, I'll buy them all."

She carefully and politely picked it up, made a generous move, and kept buying, buying, buying, buying, but Zhao Jiaren kept looking at her, her attitude was a little unkind, but she didn't know how to be unkind.

And the woman seemed to notice this, and with a veil on her head, she politely selected the precious stones, nodded occasionally, and motioned for the things to be bought, and naturally the servants took the money and left.

She spoke Fujian official dialect, which was very nice, and suddenly raised her head, as if she had just appeared, looked at Zhao Jiaren, and said, "This sister, is there anything wrong with my sister, why do you look at me like this." ”

Zhao Jiaren didn't seem to be surprised, and said: "Oh, the clothes on your body are very good-looking, I want to learn how to look like it, and let people do the same." ”

The woman said, "Oh, I have a Western-style skirt sold by overseas Franc Ji people, but I have changed it, and this is a rare fancy style in the imperial capital." ”

Zhao Jiaren's eyes moved, and said: "Oh, this is really rare, hehe, you are from Fujian, no wonder the smell of spices on your body is very different, my sister is called ......"

"My name is Zheng Lixiang," Zheng Lixiang said slowly, "Oh, this is also from Batavia, this northern land, it is indeed rare. ”

Zhao Jiaren's eyes flashed with a cold light, but he suddenly became more affectionate and friendly, and said: "My sister is really rare, it seems that your family is the maritime family of Fujian, the Zheng family in Fujian, I have heard of it." ”

Zheng Lixiang seemed to be a little flattered, and said: "That's really a surprise, looking at my sister's demeanor and temperament, I heard that in this imperial capital, there are several heroines among women, who can also lead the heroes outside and govern the country, and really bring glory to women like me." ”

Zhao Jiaren said: "Oh, it's nothing, the men have a lot of wastewood." ”

Zheng Lixiang was a little surprised, but immediately remained silent and said, "I just booked a table of banquets today, can I invite my sister to enjoy it?" ”

Zhao Jiaren seemed to look at her carefully, and Zheng Lixiang felt uncomfortable all over her body.

Zhao Jiaren said slowly: "Zheng Zhilong's family? ”

Zheng Lixiang seemed a little surprised, and said, "It's my father." ”

"The scent of your body, only you have?"

Although Zheng Lixiang was strange, she still said: "Yes, if you like it, I will send it directly to the house later." ”

Zhao Jiaren said: "I have a better one, I don't need it." ”

People don't give gifts, this is a bit blunt, and it clearly expresses Zhao Jiaren's hostility, Zheng Lixiang doesn't know how to deal with it, and looks at her.

They spoke quickly, and at this time, the other people queuing up to see the jewelry began to increase, after all, they had been throwing money crazy for half a year, and the people in the imperial capital had accumulated a lot of money in their hands, and the establishment of the new city had made it possible to have a new house and need to pay off the mortgage slowly.

This is the house of the second ring of the imperial capital, although there is no madness of the second generation of later generations, but it can also be used to scare people with the name of the Son of Heaven, after the New Year of the imperial capital, it does set off a wave of marriage, it can be said that with the end of Enke, although there are some troubles, but for most people, the imperial examination can be successfully held, it has already shown that the new regime has gained a firm foothold in the imperial capital, and the subsequent reforms can also go smoothly, then, next, it seems that buying a three gold, marrying a daughter-in-law, is indeed not bad.

I have to say that relying on big data analysis, the Council of Elders has indeed stepped on the pulse of the times.

Zhao Jiaren also stood up modestly and made way for others, which is divided into men's and women's areas, men and women can be selected separately, and there are indeed some young ladies who come to see the freshness, of course, as for the score required to be delivered to the door to choose, it will not be accompanied.

She walked to a secluded corner, and Zheng Lixiang immediately followed.

Zhao Jiaren said slowly: "Within three days, you met me and that person, the two of us, this is not just a coincidence, but deliberate." ”

Zheng Lixiang was speechless for a while, and said slowly: "Yes, I am indeed so, I have something important to ask the elders. ”

Zhao Jiaren waved his hand and said: "Let's not open this opening, you deliberately find him first, and then find me, if it is done like this, then the people of the world are not in the imperial capital every day, looking for me and waiting, and not doing the right thing, so, go back to find the master of your house, and go directly to ......"

She thought for a while, since she had stabilized the situation in the north and began to spread her tentacles and influence throughout the country, then the elders should naturally find a way to make a bid against the local forces, so that they could not scare them away, and the conditions could not be too good, but instead raise them.

"Your father's level, just go to the cabinet hall, you don't have to take any private ways, that will be bad for your family, as for the conditions, as long as it is operated legally, we have absolute respect for legal property, hum, of course, let your father think clearly, his private soldiers are enough for us to deal with in a few minutes, don't think that Japan is a hiding place, don't miss the opportunity and don't come again, after this village there will be no such shop."

Looking at Zheng Lixiang, who had a bad face, she finally explained: "For the different treatment of uprising, surrender, and surrender, you should also understand that the army that defected to us before it reached Jiangnan was considered an uprising, and those who came to the city were only at both ends of the rats, and those who surrendered after fighting together were another kind of treatment, as for the distinction, you should consider it yourself." ”

Zhao Jiaren took a final look, looked at Zheng Lixiang, although she was petite, but she had a huge appearance, and said: "Also, the most important thing, the man you approached last time, you are not allowed to approach him in the future, do you know, I will know." ”

Zhao Jiaren nodded at Zheng Lixiang's exposed chin, and didn't seem to say anything, and left by himself.

Although Zheng Lixiang didn't understand it, this threat was already very clear.

She frowned, returned home, heard from a certain business, soon there will be an official decoration shop to open, she was interested, although the dignified official store is indeed a bit off the discipline, but the Ming Dynasty even brothels can be opened, the price of the jewelry seems to be nothing, just she has a variety of information, know that in this imperial capital, it seems that the clouds are light and light, but there are really a lot of unlucky eggs, such as those treasury officials or something, swept away by the storm, estimated, it is those treasures who copy the house, someone wants to realize?
