The long-awaited order fair has finally opened, and there is also a very nice name, called "Hongyun Product Fair".

Merchants from all over the country gathered in Dingzhou. Changsun Chong let people charter the largest teahouse in Dingzhou, inside and outside after a simple decoration, a new look, the door with red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and purple seven colors of cotton, from the roof to the ground, blowing with the wind, like a seven-color rainbow. The people passing by around were curious, and they touched the brightly colored fabric with their hands.

The people outside don't know what the people inside do, and there are a few literate people in the crowd, but they don't know what the fair is.

Li Er was arranged in a private room on the second floor directly opposite the rostrum, and the door was open to see the situation below. There was a boiled sencha on the table, and while drinking tea with the courtiers, I watched the people below busy with their work.

Cheng Biting Jin ate the nuts, gurgling, and said from time to time: "Your Majesty, this boy has a lot of tricks, I want to see how much money I can make today?" ”

"Chong boy, that's a rich boy, you can just look at it." Qin Qiong believed in Changsun Chong, that kid's little eyes turned, and there were several ghost ideas in his stomach, and he could succeed every time, no wonder His Majesty had repeatedly entrusted him with important tasks.

But Duan Zhixuan, who had been silent, came to say: "It's better to send Guanyin!" ”

"Ahem!" Li Er was choked, "Why did Chong'er become the son of Guanyin again?" ”

Duan Zhixuan rarely showed a smile: "Since the eldest daughter-in-law of the family took the medicine given by Chongxian's nephew, she gave birth to a big fat boy last year, and she became pregnant again this year. "The Duan family has a queen. Even if they all go to the battlefield in the future, they are not afraid of running out of incense.

"Hehe, that's appropriate." Li Er laughed.

One after another, people came, were taken to different locations, and when all the invited guests arrived, the door was closed.

This exhibition is the eldest grandson Erlang with his two younger brothers busy before and after, those merchants are actually not interested here, these merchants can't wipe off the face, so they have to give the eldest grandson Erlang a face, it can also be said to be the face of the eldest grandson's family. will come over.

However, just now these people are all shopkeepers in large merchants in Chang'an City and even other places, and they still have an eye, the fabric at the door is not silk, but it has the bright color of silk; Nor is it sackcloth. But it is also very breathable and softer than linen.

These people put away the mood of watching the play. Be prepared to take it seriously. Maybe it's a real business opportunity!

Qi Heng, a well-spoken steward, has always been the assistant of the eldest grandson Erlang, and now he is a temporary part-time host.

On the round table, there is a desk made of two tables of eight immortals, and a bed of folded cotton quilts is placed on it.

Qi Heng stood on the platform in the middle and said loudly: "Welcome all customers to come from afar to see our Hongyun product exhibition." This time we want to promote cotton products. Everyone is well-informed. I must have seen cotton, which is what we used to call white stacks. See? This is the quilt made of white stacks, which is very warm and can be made into quilts and bedding. ”

Qi Heng clapped his hands. Someone took away the cotton quilt and put a bed of finished quilts, with a quilt made of bright red cotton cloth and a quilt lined with white cotton cloth, which looked very festive.

"Look, this is the quilt!" Qi Heng introduced again, "This is very warm and very soft, and when this winter comes, you will definitely make a lot of money." ”

Although some of the shopkeepers below were curious and thought it was good, but if they wanted to keep warm, they really didn't believe it, and one of the people in charge stood up and arched his hand and said: "Qi Da shopkeeper, whether this cotton is warm, it's not cold now, we don't know!" If you buy it back rashly, if you don't keep warm and can't sell it, then you will be unlucky. "After all, these people are not the master's family, they are all big shopkeepers, and they can't ignore the profits because they can't wipe their face, otherwise they won't be able to explain to the master's family.

"yes, that's the truth!"

Qi Heng smiled: "Dare to ask if you slept well at night yesterday?" ”

Everyone was puzzled, why did they suddenly turn to whether they slept well yesterday, and the man just now replied: "It was still a little cold last night, so I casually covered the bed with things, but it was so hot that I sweated."

Qi Heng added: "What you covered your body yesterday was a quilt made of cotton, and yesterday's quilt was still thin, like this thick quilt, it is better to use it when it is cold in winter." ”

As soon as he heard this, a buzzing sound began to be heard, and the man asked, "Really?" ”

"If you don't believe me, you go back and open the quilt to see if it's the cotton I just mentioned." Qi Heng said with a smile, "Cotton, the quilt introduction is over here, if you are interested, after the end of the exhibition, we can make an appointment to talk about business separately." ”

"Can you ask again, how much is this quilt?" The man continued to ask.

Qi Heng replied: "A bed of four catties of quilt and two taels of silver, and a bed of six catties of quilt and three taels of silver. ”

Heck, it's quite expensive, but as long as it's warm and scarce, it can make money, and I personally plan to sell as much as I want.

The quilt was hugged down, Qi Heng slapped twice, and the free and clever little guy held a pile of fabrics of various colors about the size of a handkerchief, and also put a basin of water on the table next to him.

"This is our cotton cloth, now there are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, purple, seven colors, the fabric is soft and breathable, and does not fade, you can take a closer look, if you don't believe it, you can try it in the water." Qi Heng began to explain the benefits of cotton cloth.

These people have long been curious about the face, so they took the cotton cloth and rubbed it in their hands, put it under their nose to smell it, and then put it in the water to rub it, and they really didn't fade, and they were excited. There was no cotton cloth in this period, and even if there was, it was also transmitted from the Western Regions, and it was rough, and the color was not as good-looking as this, and it was still strong.

"Shopkeeper Qi, how much is this fabric?" Someone asked.

Qi Heng replied: "Two taels of silver a horse!" Settle for more, get more deals! ”

"What's the preferential law?" Someone asked.

"Order 1,000 at a time and give away 10 cotton." Qi Heng replied, even these ten horses are worth twenty taels of silver.

Now silk, a horse costs at least seven or eight taels of silver, and it is the worst; Those linen cloths were rough, and they were actually two taels of silver, and the price was worth it.

"Yes, yes, I want a thousand!"

"I want a thousand horses too!"

"I want two thousand horses!"

The crowd thought that the cotton must be very good, so they began to ask for orders.

Qi Heng waved his hand and said, "Hehe, everyone, everyone, be quiet, anyway, you can order in the afternoon." Let's wait for our next fabric, so let's start to make a contract, shall we? ”

"Shopkeeper Qi, you are too grinding, if you have any good things, take them out quickly." The people below started to say loudly, a little impatient.

Qi Heng clapped his hands again, and there were clothes made of calico of seven colors, which were worn on the seven women. No one in the two families was willing, so Qi Heng had to go to the Qinglou and invite seven handsome and dignified girls to come over as models.

"Oh my God, look at the pink fabric at the front with a little plum blossom on it"

"Look at that print with bamboo, how elegant and lovely, that pear blossom is beautiful"

"The one with the peony flower is the best"

There are different opinions, and they all point to their favorite colors, and many people think that each color is very good-looking. It's a joke, this is carefully screened by Changsun Chong, and naturally it is good-looking, attracting everyone's attention.

"How much is this kind of printed fabric?"

"Three-two-one!" Shopkeeper Qi replied.

"Shopkeeper Qi, I want 2,000 horses, and the cash will be settled at one time!"

"I want 4,000 horses, pay it off in cash!"

Everyone began to rob again, good things, if you grab it, it means that you have earned it, and this time you will definitely be able to make a great contribution to the main family.

"How? This shopkeeper didn't lie to you, did he? Qi Heng said with a smile, waved his hand, and asked the seven girls to stand back.

"The shopkeeper is honest, how can he lie to us! It's still early, let's sign the contract and place an order. "Someone can't wait.

"Then before signing the contract, I have to make it clear here, the payment for the goods can be made in a lump sum before the goods can be taken away. To tell you the truth, we now only have 5,000 horses of ordinary fabric, 5,000 horses of printed fabric, and 1,000 beds of quilts. Who to sell to, and not to whom? Qi Heng was embarrassed.

As soon as everyone heard this, they hurriedly ran from their seats to Qi Heng, and scrambled to say, "Sell me, sell me!" ”

Qi Heng was so troubled that he couldn't do it, and said loudly: "You can come, just to give Qi a face, they are all friends of Qi, Qi naturally can't favor one over the other, let's divide the fabric equally." ”

None of the people are convinced, this is the best solution.

"Since Shopkeeper Qi said so, then do it!" The crowd agreed.

Li Er and the others above saw that Qi Heng easily mobilized the emotions of the merchants below, and nodded, this shopkeeper Qi is a talent. This is only a sales volume of 10,000 horses, and I believe that when we meet separately, it is estimated that there will be specific terms.

Li Er and the others drank tea, looked at the chaotic situation below, and said with emotion: "This exhibition is quite interesting. ”

"For this meeting, 30,000 taels will come in. Seeing that these merchants are so enthusiastic, there will be no big problems in sales in the future, and it seems that there is no need to allocate funds to Changsun Chong.

Originally, Li Er heard that Changsun Chong had no money in his hand to pay wages, and he planned to allocate funds to Changsun Chong, but he didn't expect that this Changsun Chong's ability was so great, and he could get the exhibition so quickly, and he knew from these merchants surrounding Qi Heng.
