Tearing open the packaging bag printed with the advertising slogan "No hair", taking out the pig's bristle toothbrush, dipping it in the tooth powder ground from cuttlefish bones, Chai Dongliang carefully brushed his teeth and brushed them. Looking in the mirror, the teeth that had been smoked to a yellowish glow finally glowed like braided shells.

A box of tooth powder imported from France costs five cents a piece, and a toothbrush made in Shanghai is five cents, adding up to two pieces of Longyang, which is really expensive! Chai Dongliang has to be careful in everything he does now, and a copper plate is eager to be broken in half.

Standing in front of the Western dressing mirror and changing into a military uniform, Chai Dongliang said narcissistically in front of the mirror: "Boy, you are so handsome!" ”

Lu Kai on the side covered his mouth and snickered, but he got angry and almost sat on the ground holding his stomach!

"Governor, the guests have arrived! We're waiting for you! Master Gao changed into a dress, but this tuxedo was worn on him, no matter how he looked at it, it didn't seem to be appropriate, as if it was borrowed temporarily.

Western music sounded from the auditorium of the Military Advisory Palace, and a group of Chinese musicians in suits, under the baton of a White Russian, played Bach's "Brandenburg Concerto".

Chinese businessmen in robes and jackets, arrogant Englishmen with canes and top hats, unruly Americans in suits and leather shoes who can't hide their bones, Frenchmen who keep flirting with women with wine glasses, Russian businessmen with beards to their chests, Germans who wear suits like military uniforms!

The Military Advisory Office has become a small United Nations!

Waiters bring whiskey, brandy, Dutch water, cigar smoke, and Kobe's Frost Shadow Beef, French black truffles, and North Sea lobsters on the table.

Wu Jintang was dressed in a straight suit, standing at the door, bowing and holding hands when he saw a visitor, in order to prepare for this buffet, he had worked hard. Most of the customers are foreign Taipan and Chinese managers of multinational conglomerates.

Being able to invite so many business tycoons is all thanks to Wu Xingzhou's status as the president of the Anhui Chamber of Commerce.

"Lord Chai, the governor of Anhui, has arrived!" The counselor shouted in a long voice.

Chai Dongliang walked over with two high-spirited guards with a spring breeze on his face.

"Governor, you're here, everyone has been waiting for a long time!"

"Brother Yinfu is bothered!"

Chai Dongliang entered the auditorium, the foreign woman gently lifted her skirt and squatted slightly, and the man took off his hat to salute, he stepped forward and held hands affectionately one by one.

"Lord Governor, you didn't invite us here just to let us enjoy a wonderful evening, did you?" Taipan Smith of Jardine Matheson in the United Kingdom was a man in a hurry, and he couldn't help but shout loudly.

"Yes, Lord Governor, if you don't name it, this meal will not taste good!" A Chinese manager of a foreign bank also chimed in.

Everyone gossiped and suppressed the sound of the music.

Chai Dongliang smiled and pressed down with his hands, signaling everyone to be quiet, and the music stopped.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I invite you here today, not just to enjoy one night, but to enjoy your whole life!" With that, he slapped his face twice.

A locked room in the auditorium suddenly opened, and with an exclamation from everyone, a charming Bosnian woman was seen lying lazily on the sofa reading the newspaper, her flaxen hair tied back casually, and her low-cut pajamas revealing a touch of seductive skin.

Everyone didn't understand what this was about, they just looked stupidly, the flaxen-haired woman turned a blind eye to the onlookers, and kept changing positions on the sofa to show off her amorous, and the men who watched it wanted to swallow her in one bite.

The house is an ensuite, with a living room outside, a bedroom and a kitchen inside, and the furnishings are very similar to that of a middle-class Western family.

"When, when..." The wall clock rang, and the woman reading the newspaper seemed to remember something, and hurriedly jumped up, wrapped herself in an apron, and rushed into the kitchen. Now she has become a skilled housewife again.

Everyone was pleasantly surprised to find that there was no wire connected to the lamp head in the oven, and the woman calmly picked up the wire from the cupboard. Only then did everyone notice that there was something at the front of the wire with three brass claws. The woman stuck three brass paws into the wall, and the light on the bread maker immediately lit up.

In the leisure time of baking bread, the woman walked into the bedroom, took out the hair dryer, and also stuck the copper claws in front of the wires into the wall. In a short time, the hairstyle was ready, and the bread was baked almost at the same time. She poured out a glass of milk, sent it to the oven to heat it up, and ate a simple lunch, followed by an electric iron to smooth out her skirt.

The next scene is a little more fragrant, she goes into the bedroom and closes the curtain, and through the yellow electric light, you can see her shadow projected on the gauze curtain to change clothes.

The foreign women present were dumbfounded, electrical products have always been used to take electricity from the lamp, women dare not touch it at all, in their opinion, every time the electrical appliances are connected to the power, it is almost a thrilling feat, and now it seems that all this is so simple.

The Bosnian woman who changed her clothes walked out of the bedroom, mopping the floor-length skirt with luxurious jewelry, like the image of a noblewoman, the music sounded at the same time, she walked towards Chai Dongliang in a beautiful way, put her hand on his shoulder, and walked into the dance floor of the auditorium, and the two of them danced a cheerful waltz on the dance floor.

Baking bread, hot milk, drying hair, ironing clothes, all the work was successfully completed in half an hour, and without plugs and sockets, half an hour of electricity alone may not be enough.

After the song, in the applause of everyone, Chai Dongliang politely sent the girl back to the room, and the door closed again.

"Ladies and gentlemen! I gave it a name, it's called Modern Times! Chai Dongliang took a small socket in his hand and said to the people who were already dumbfounded: "A new world, a new life, and the era of electricity will start from this socket!" ”

The people here are the top masters in the shopping mall, and they are shocked by the meaning behind the scene just now, a small socket will make a huge change in people's lifestyle, the rhythm of life will become faster and more convenient, and household appliances such as hair dryers and electric toasters will also be transformed from dangerous luxuries to simple necessities of life.

This invention will enter all families, and what a huge business opportunity it will hold!

"Dear Wu, is this the invention of your 'Mingyuan Electric Light Company'? Have you applied for a patent? I want to buy your patents! Jardine Matheson's Taipan Smith asked eagerly.

Wu Jintang said proudly: "Yes! We have applied for patent protection in the United Kingdom, the United States, and other European countries, but we do not sell patent rights! ”

Smith wondered, "Why?" Isn't the purpose of invention to make money by selling patents? ”

"We only sell products and sell agency rights!" Wu Jintang snapped his fingers arrogantly, and the waiter held a plate with a beautiful propaganda brochure printed on coated paper and a mimeographed booklet.

People in attendance flocked to scramble for brochures and brochures, and each of them saw the business opportunity behind it.

After reading a few pages, they exclaimed, "Why do you want to set a sales price?" Oh my God, such a good thing, we are only allowed to sell it for ninety-nine cents! ”

It worked! Chai Dongliang looked at them with a smile on his face, and a sense of pride rose in his heart!

He asked the Wu family to apply for a patent for the principle of invention, and the working principle of plugs and sockets has not changed even in the 21st century, which can ensure that in the 20 years of patent protection, competitors cannot bypass themselves.

Ninety-nine cents, this is Chai Dongliang's pricing, at the beginning of the implementation of the low price strategy, can be promoted in the shortest possible time to thousands of households and quickly monopolize the market.

Chai Dongliang has learned that at this time, the daily wages of ordinary American workers are about $1.5 to $2.5, and it will not be difficult for them to accept the price of 99 cents.

As for the cost of production, the socket is now around twenty cents and the plug is seven cents, and with the scale of production, it is expected that the socket will be reduced to five cents and the plug to two cents.

The selling price is fixed, the price of the first-level agent is the retail price, at the end of the year, according to the sales rebate of 40% to 60%, and the agent will provide part of the rebate to the retailer as the terminal profit. Before the agent gets the agency, he needs to pay a large deposit.

The booklet also stipulates in detail the penalties for agents and retailers to collude goods, and in the event of a violation, the deposit will be partially or fully deducted, and the agency will also be deprived.

This modern marketing model firmly controls the initiative in the hands of manufacturers, so as to avoid the depletion of cash flow and the dilemma of large distributors. The rights and interests of dealers will also be protected by layers of sales area protection, avoiding the risk of evil surname competition.

Looking at the lively scene below, Chai Dongliang patted Wu Jintang's shoulder and said: "The following things are for you to do, remember, within half a month, I will see an advance payment of 500,000 US dollars and a performance deposit!" ”

"Half a million dollars?" Wu Jintang was a little shocked, this is a huge amount of money, equivalent to 150,000 taels of silver, and equivalent to more than 300,000 taels of Longyang!

Chai Dongliang smiled confidently: "This is just the first pot of gold, and there will be many times more money than this in the future!" The people who do business should be the richest and most respected people in China, not a group of officials or merchants who speculate on land and sell salt! With that, he smiled and drifted away.

Wu Jintang couldn't help but be a little flattered by Chai Dongliang's trust, he didn't expect that the socket would be so popular.

Well-planned life scenes, modern marketing methods, in the Xinhai year will definitely cause shock, and then can't take these late Qing Dynasty foreign devil businessmen should really go to jump the Yangtze River...

As soon as he came out, he saw Gao Ming running over happily: "Governor, the money from Wuchang has arrived!" ”

Oh, and here comes another half a million oceans? Chai Dongliang was in a good mood and sang: "I smile proudly, I smile proudly!" ”

Plugs and sockets are the first step, and when the transformation of the cement production line of Wuhu machine vertical kiln is completed, I am afraid that all cement plant owners in the world will be dumbfounded!

Lu Kai pursed his lips and muttered in a low voice: "See the money and open your eyes, destroy the businessman!" ”

"What do you say, boy!"

"Report to the governor, I said you are like a merchant!"

"Well, that's right, in the future I will die, and it will be written on the epitaph!"
