Chapter 642. Big opening
The opening of Mao Jue's Imperial Plaza was timely, and on the day of its opening, the first batch of ships to go to the South Seas returned to Hangzhou.
Just got off the ship's pepper, sumac, jade spices, what rare goods disembarked, that end moved to the square shopping mall, the north to buy goods merchants followed to see the goods, the south with the goods owners to see the sales, also followed the stroll over.
And then they all fell in!
it! This Western clock is so tall! of bought!
it! This Liaodong wild ginseng is about to catch up with the radish thick! Recently, I have kidney deficiency, so I have to buy it and stew chicken!
it! The chest of this white gauze dress is too low, and the family has mentioned it several times, so I have to buy it!
it! The tap fire that Lao Wang's guy bought, as soon as he smoked, he watched him, he had to buy it!
The big guys all know that this Imperial Plaza was built by the regent to circle money, and at first they all weighed in their hearts that they would never be fooled, but as soon as they entered the door, those wealthy businessmen with thousands of dollars in their pockets couldn't hold back their hands and feet, to be honest, in this era, there is only one department store like this World Expo, which is rare in the world, Mao Jue can actually get it here, although the price is expensive, it may be a maritime merchant, can it be worse than this bit of silver? Those who hit the south and the north come in and can't hold back their hands and feet to buy and buy.
And not only the goods here, as soon as they came in, the white tiles with golden light on the walls made many people dazzled, a few rich businessmen did not buy anything, but they pulled the salesman to ask how these wall tiles came from, how much silver, so that a few little girls from Yangzhou thin horses hurriedly reported to the manager, and temporarily added two more tile shops.
As soon as it was opened, I didn't even have time to put the sample, and I was immediately filled up by this group of local tyrants who were blushing, and they couldn't wait to put a wall on their homes.
To what extent are these Jiangnan merchants extravagant? During the Kangxi period, there were salt merchants from Guanyin Mountain to Yangzhou City Road, sprinkled thousands of taels of gold leaf, all they asked for was to see a scene of gold falling like snow, Mao Jue provided them with a place to shop, it was simply a honeycomb for the black bear.
Since the opening of the department store in the morning, there has been an endless stream of carriages full of things in the specially designed carriage parking lot, and there are even carriages of the same family shuttling back and forth several times, there is a salt merchant in Yangzhou who rushed to the market with an old farmer, and he went out with five ceramic toilets, and a Jin merchant at the other end stuffed a cart full of ginseng as a radish. Mink coats and later Yiwu wholesale like to take home, jade basket to move home, this day's turnover, it is estimated that even if there is no tens of millions, there must be a few million taels, not only Mao Jue, a large group of suppliers and investors also made a lot of money.
Of course, some people who have bad culture and goods, and the dazzling array of goods in the department store can't attract them at all, and they are full of contemptuous ridicule and dirt buns, but after a few more steps, they are straight-eyed.
, everyone in Kunqu District Huang Yanqiu! , Ruan Dacheng's "Swallow Note"! Isn't it just a hundred taels of silver for a first-class ticket? Bought!
The first day of the opening of the Imperial Theater naturally has to be the finale! Originally, the best candidate was Chen Yuanyuan, Qin Huai's eight peers belonged to her outstanding singing, Wu Sangui was fascinated by her at the beginning, and she was immediately fascinated when she listened to music in the Guozhang Tian Hongyu Mansion.
However, Chen Yuanyuan is now mixed with Gu Mei and Dong Xiaowan, and he has made up a song building in Beijing, if Chen Yuanyuan is transferred, it is estimated that Gu Mei will have to come with her, I haven't seen her since I slept with this girl, and I tossed her around, Mao Jue was a little embarrassed.
Besides, there's a little vinegar jar here, and Adriana is here! So after thinking about it, Mao Jue still spent a lot of money and dug up a famous character in Qinhuai to fill the scene.
But this effect is good, this kind of grand theater in Daming is also the only scorpion, but it is much higher than Nanjing's messy pear orchard hook bar, there is not so much noise, occasionally someone makes a loud noise, and the sweet-looking waiter gently stepped forward to remind you, you are a person with status, please pay attention to the instrument! The 50,000-person theater has 30,000 seats, and it sells the best seats in the boxes and front rows.
However, even if these two places are so prosperous, there is no casino boom with one piece, and the casino is full after only an hour of opening.
Maybe everyone has such a demon in their hearts!
Just like in Hong Kong films, in the resplendent hall, exquisite gambling tables, beautiful dealers wearing shirts and jackets who look particularly shrewd and capable, and well-dressed gamblers are elegantly waiting for the cards to be dealt and shake the dice, looking so expensive.
Mixed in with it, Zheng Zhilong's brother Zheng Zhibao is definitely the most conspicuous one, with more contact with Westerners, this big pirate also learned to wear a tuxedo, but his sturdy shoulders hold the tuxedo tightly, his hair is draped back, he wears a pair of Dongjiang sunglasses, and he has a Dongjiang cigar in his mouth.
"Deal the cards!"
"What Lao Tzu has is silver, hahahaha!"
The Zheng family is a big family, and they can hold up losing hundreds of thousands of taels of silver a day, but some people can't hold it!
In Las Vegas, Mao Jue also got a large row of slot machines, but he couldn't get the kind of automatic spitting out chips when the power was on, the joystick slot machine was a bit similar to the clockwork kind, pull the joystick a few times, and the three cylinders would spin up quickly, and the three circles could match a pattern, and the chips would lose ten times at once, and the special pattern could also lose a hundred times.
The two mirrors were erected like periscopes, one facing the rotating cylinder and the other facing the staff behind the wall.
In later generations, many professional gamblers who love to play slot machines are not even for the sake of winning, just for the thrill of the moment the chips fall out.
The addiction rate of slot machines is really amazing, this Jiang Zuo Gong family's talented Gong Zimian fell into, when Gong Zi came, he was pitifully shrunk in front of a slot machine, and on the side was followed by a shopkeeper of the East India Company wearing Western glasses, wearing a robe and vest, taking this account book, he was waiting there calmly but impatiently.
"What's the matter, in broad daylight, the people who detain my Gong family, there is no royal law! Hurry up and release the people, otherwise my Gong family will let you go around without food!"
I really don't know how hard this Gong family is, as soon as he came in, this Gong Zi didn't know anything, but raised his voice and shouted loudly.
The voice shouted, and the whole hall was brushed and looked over.
However, the shopkeeper has also been trained for a long time, and listening to his aggressive questioning, the shopkeeper calmly smiled and hugged his fists.
"Lord Jiangzuo Gong is also thunderous in the next, so Ling Gongzi said that he would borrow the silver in the name of the Gong family, so he immediately borrowed it!"
"Today, Mr. Gong wants to take away Ling Gongzi Yecheng, as long as he leaves Mobao here, Jiangzuo Gong's family owes 70,000 taels of silver! As long as there is Mobao hanging here, I will give an explanation to the regent and his old man, and release him immediately!"
When it comes to the regent, he hugged his fist heavily in the north, the word regent, but it was a stab that Gong Zi's pupils couldn't help but shrink, this is pointing at him, this is in the territory of the Northern Dynasty! No matter how powerful your Gong family is, you can't control Lao Tzu! If you are a dragon, you have to be coiled by Lao Tzu, and if you are a tiger, you have to be nested by Lao Tzu!
However, the arrogant attitude of this Jiangnan clan is really difficult to change, pointing to the lobby, Gong Zi roared angrily and arrogantly.
"Tempting gambling, deceiving the children of good families, and also the regent, this is also allowed by the regent? My Gong family is not bullied, even if this matter goes to the regent, my Gong family will not give up!"
Still so indifferent, the shopkeeper smiled lightly and nodded.
"What Mr. Gong said is right, so Mr. Gong looks here!"
Following his fingers, Gong Zi's eyes couldn't help but tighten again, and on those slot machines, there were more than a dozen big characters written on them.
Gambling is harmful!
A small gamble is pleasant, a big gamble hurts the body! Do it in moderation!
"According to the Regent's orders, gambling is harmful! When Ling Gongzi borrowed money, he also persuaded him below, and the waiter on the side also persuaded him three times, Gongzi, you are a sincere gentleman, but there is such a thing? ”
Either he was stupid to read, or he was frightened, and in Gong Zi's angry eyes, the little man nodded stupidly.
"Dad, Fluttershy did persuade me, but it's a few hundred taels of silver! I really want to win it back!"
"Mr. Gong, how's it going?"
People are not afraid of you! This reasoning didn't pay attention to himself, looking at the shopkeeper carrying an abacus with a smile in his eyes, this Gong Zi finally softened, looked left and right with fear, and then pulled the shopkeeper to the side, and said soft words sadly.
"This brother! The contemptible people are out of the house, and they really don't bring so much silver, so is it good, pay 10,000 taels first, and wait for me to return to Changzhou, sell the property, and then pay it off together, how about it? ”
The casino really doesn't have a big cost, what is sold is a service, and it can be recovered is a point, if this Gong Zi has a better attitude, according to the reputation of Jiang Zuosan's family, this shopkeeper really agreed, but unfortunately, as soon as he came in and pretended to be a grandfather, now he is pretending to be a calf, it's late!
Shaking his head very solemnly, the shopkeeper in charge of lending said with a businesslike appearance.
"I'm sorry, the Regent's estate, that's the rule! If you don't have any silver, even if you owe this debt Mobao, in the future, the company will treat your Gong family as an untrustworthy person, and you will not be allowed to enter, otherwise, 70,000 taels of cash is a lot. ”
"Mr. Gong is invited!"
Several tables were put together, a banner of the size of a couplet was placed in front of him, looking at the shopkeeper's smiling appearance, Gong Zi pinched the hand of the big brush, trembled fiercely, and after a long time, Fang gritted his teeth and fell to the ground fiercely.
I had long expected this situation, Mao Jue left a wall in the casino hall to hang these notes, looking at the ink-drenched Gong family owing 70,000 taels of silver on the wall, and seeing that a group of gamblers who were not too big to be a big deal were laughing there, especially Zheng Zhihu, who had a sense of superiority and disdainfully flicked the cigarette ash, and hummed there angrily.
"What kind of uncle is there to put here?"
In the fierce discussion and contempt, Gong Zi led his stupid son out of the door in a gloomy manner.
This matter is not just as simple as owing a silver, in the past, relying on the relationship network, the family gate valve that was rampant and domineering in Jiangnan was the first time to touch such a big nail, which is a big blow to the authority of the entire gate valve! Moreover, the bourgeoisie with money can brazenly mock the landed aristocracy of the imperial examination! This is in Daming, but it has cross-era significance!
Of course, in the center, people didn't think so much, only Mao Jue, who had planned all this a long time ago, held a glass of red wine, looked at the inked IOUs under his feet, and let out a vampire-like smile.
Jiangnan's game of chess is starting to be fun! Please Baidu "Throw Book Network" Thank you for your support!
