Qixi night banquet, Wuliangye and Wuliangchun were an instant hit. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Overnight, almost all of Bianjing's top elites knew about these two top liquors; I also knew that Lin Chong was going to partner with Uncle Liu Guo of Yangwu County, as well as a group of Bianliang Forbidden Army Jiangmen families to operate these two top liquors and other overseas novelty goods.

I also know that there are still 30% of the profits of the official family in these businesses, and other people don't come to mess around!

And this news was still after the night banquet, and it spread at an alarming speed to almost everyone in Bianliang.

Lin Chong, as well as what they heard through various channels, this soon-to-open Sihai Department Store suddenly became the focus of everyone's attention and the object of discussion.

To say that this Lin Chong is also very good, he actually made this request to the official family in front of so many ministers and nobles of the clan at the banquet, and the official family even agreed in public, and the Quarin Chong who is still energetic will do things.

This is Zhu Mian's second.

I think that Zhu Mian ran the worship bureau in the southeast, and made the people in the southeast complain, but Zhu Mian is standing tall and the saint is rich, the reason is that Zhu Mian can not only invest in the favor of the official family, but also can communicate with the official family and send money to the official private treasury!

But no matter how Zhu Mian is, he is secretly sending money to the official family, but Lin Chong is sending money to the official family in front of so many ministers, and the ministers have no way to admonish them!

Thirty percent of the profits are donated to the inner treasury, which seems to be a lot, but in fact, Lin Chong has taken a big advantage.

Take liquor as an example, the liquor of the Great Song Dynasty implemented a monopoly system, and Sijing was a monopoly on koji, that is, the government monopolized the production of koji, and the people could only buy koji from the government if they wanted to make wine; If you want to sell the liquor after brewing it, you must apply to the government again and pay a large fee before you can sell it.

Except for the four capitals, the rest of the Great Song Dynasty implemented the government monopoly system, that is, only the government could make wine, and then the official liquor directly sold the wine; Or sell the liquor in the form of buying and selling (equivalent to bidding) and contract it to private wine merchants to sell the liquor.

However, no matter what kind of monopoly system, if the people want to sell alcohol, they have to pay at least seventy or eighty percent of the liquor tax, and they have to send various benefits to officials at all levels, but the profit of this goods to the official family is only thirty percent.

Not to mention that with the official family as the backstage, other officials and magnates dare not look for trouble to covet these industries, and there is much less trouble.

A few days later, amid the curious attention and eager discussions of all the officials and magnates, major merchants, and ordinary people in Bianjing, two Sihai department stores in the inner and outer cities finally opened.

As soon as it opened, the business was booming. From the opening in the morning to the closing of the four department stores in the evening, the crowds of people coming in and out of the four Sihai department stores are endless, and the three-story stores covering an area of ten acres are always crowded with Bianliang people who come to shop.

The reason is simple, first, the day and night banquet Wuliangye wine was in the limelight, and the official royal pen inscription was too widespread; Coupled with the marketing work that Lin Chong did in advance, people really wanted to see how good these overseas oddities were.

Then there is the fact that the goods sold by the Four Seas Trading Company are indeed new and good enough, and the prices are high and low, which most of the people of Bianliang can accept.

For example, if you can't afford to buy ten pieces of soap, you can buy two pieces of soap, which is the same easy to use, and the size is bigger and more durable; For example, if you can't afford to buy 15 pieces of toothpaste, you can buy a toothbrush with 200 yuan and brush your teeth like a little salt, but it won't bleed.

Another example is the card game called "Three Kingdoms Kill" and "Poker", which is really interesting, compared to the leaf cards that everyone used to play, the double game can be much more fun, not only can be used to play, used to gamble money, but also better.

And even if you don't buy anything, it's good to check out the new things in the store, such as the glass mirror that hangs on the wall on the second floor of each store.

It is said that these treasure mirrors are sold for at least 10,000 yuan each, and money can't buy them, but the Four Seas Department Store actually brought him to the exhibition, which is lively and fresh, of course, you have to see it.

It's a pity that I couldn't see it, I couldn't smell the supreme wine Wuliangye, how good and fragrant Wuliangchun is.

Because it is said that there were originally a lot of these two kinds of fine wine, but the ship containing these two kinds of wine ran aground and sank, and in the end, only fifteen bottles of Wuliangye and twenty bottles of Wuliangchun drunk by the crew members of other ships were transported to the Great Song Dynasty.

Fifteen bottles of Wuliangye naturally had to be paid tribute to the official family, and twenty bottles of Wuliangchun were also instantly divided by the ministers and magnates at a high price of more than 1,000 yuan per bottle, and ordinary people didn't even have the blessing of smelling it.

In short, since the opening of the Sihai Department Store, Lin Chong and Lin Chong's mysterious friend who went to sea to do business have suddenly become the most concerned topic of hundreds of thousands of Bianliang people, and the hot business of the Sihai Department Store has also become the object of the eyes of almost all Bianliang people.

It's just that some real "big food and maritime merchants" living in Bianjing feel strange and wonder, haven't you heard that our city of Baghdad and the caliphate's palace have these good things?

Could it be that we have been away from Da Shi for too long, or is it true that Deputy Commander Lin has made that overseas friend discover these treasures on an island, as told in the story of his voyage to Simberda?

It's not just these big cannibals who are wondering, Cai You, Gao Yu, Wang Hao, Liang Shicheng, Li Bangyan and others are also very puzzled.

Since Lin Chong defrauded them of 500,000 yuan, they have been paying attention to Lin Chong all the time, and they have paid close attention to the opening of Sihai Department Store, thinking that if they want to open, they will have to stock up, and his overseas friend will have to deliver goods to him.

However, they spent all their manpower and energy, but they couldn't find out where the goods of the Four Seas Trading Company came from.

I only know that the four Sihai department stores are horse-drawn carriages escorted by the Japanese forbidden army under the command of Cao Song every day, and the goods are pulled from the Cao family manor outside the Nanxun Gate;

How did the goods from the Cao family manor come from? It was sent by hundreds of carriages before the opening of the Four Seas Trading Company;

But where did the goods come from for the hundreds of wagons? But I don't have a clue!

"What the hell!"

Wang Hao frowned and said: "This guy said that his goods were all shipped from overseas by that maritime friend, but the Tiju City Shipping Division couldn't find any record of him as a maritime merchant, and he didn't know how his goods were transported to Bianjing along the way, isn't it hell!" ”

"Xu is the path of a private businessman, since this can't be found, but there is no need to pursue it too much."

Gao Yu was also full of doubts, but he was relieved to think that the officials in the Great Song Dynasty had no control over the grassroots, and the small officials of the Great Song Dynasty colluded with the local wealthy families, and the private merchants at the bottom of the entire Great Song Dynasty were rampant.

"It's the Sihai Department Store that has a full of customers every day, and the store is full of people, making money every day, which is really hot, and there is no reason why we can only watch it." Gao Yu's eyes were red.

Cai You said angrily: "What can I do then? Lin Chong accompanies the official family to practice Tai Chi every day, accompanies the official family to play cards, and teaches the official family to draw sketches, all of which are about to catch up with us and be favored, and he also took the initiative to give 30% of the profits to the official family.

Didn't you hear him say to the official family yesterday that he would earn more than 500,000 yuan in the past few days alone, and make a net profit of 200,000 yuan after removing the cost, and said that if the business is good, he can contribute 2.5 million yuan to the official treasury at least a year, and the official family is happy!

How dare we go to the idea of this department store? ”

Liang Shicheng's voice sounded gloomy again: "Our family is thinking, Lin Chong is so favored and in the limelight now, should we change our strategy......"

"We, the people, are so happy today......"

When Cai You, Gao Yu, Liang Shicheng and others were planning how to deal with Lin Chong, Lin Chong hummed a strange tune in his mouth as he walked, calculating the money he had earned in the past few days, and his eyebrows danced happily.

PS: I'm sorry, there's something going on today, the update is late, sorry, sorry!
