By the time Sasha reported to Al again, Quinn's shocking offer and the rejection of the Westside Comptoir had already spread in Manny. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoThe people who were present at the time dispersed in a hurry, and they told every acquaintance they met about the amazing scene they had witnessed, and they said it vividly. Interestingly, the reaction of the people who first heard it was similar, at first they resolutely did not believe it, until they were dumbfounded after repeated confirmation, and they couldn't say anything for a long time, it can be said that the Westside Comptoir has become famous again since winning the Auston family a few days ago, and is on the cusp of public opinion.

Equally famous is the slogan: Top electric lights, only sold to top families. And what Al said: money is by no means omnipotent, at least money cannot buy noble bloodlines and the glory they represent. These two sentences were widely praised at once, and everyone was familiar with them, even children.

"What do the big people in Mani make of my words?, are they ashamed or injust?", Al was mentally prepared for the possible loss, and said it after careful consideration, there must be gains in losses, and he thought he would gain more than what he might lose.

The first point is to make the electric lamp completely recognized by the aristocracy, and the slogan "The top electric lamp is only sold to the top family" is used to make every aristocratic family enthusiastically buy.

The second point is to reverse his impression in the aristocratic circles of Hawley, he heard some gossip that he Al Edward is not like a nobleman, but more like a businessman, these rumors are a kind of damage to his reputation, although Al doesn't care, but as long as he still has a foothold in the city of Radiance in the name of the Iron Thorn Family, these are all to worry about, and to say that sentence is to make his noble position clear to everyone.

"There was no comment, all eyes were on us turning down the incredibly high price, and as for what you said, everyone's reaction was muted. Sasha replied.

"No reaction?", this time it was Al who was taken aback, he was silent for a moment, and said quietly: "It seems that these bigwigs in Manny District have long been dead, they look like they are showing off their might on weekdays, but when they meet the nobles, they all become turtles with shrunken heads, not to mention resisting, and they don't even complain." ”

Sasha smiled bitterly: "How dare you complain, these guys have been sucked by the nobles of the Hawley District over the years, and now they just hope that the nobles will not eat the marrow and know the taste, and they will be exploited too much." What's the use of complaining, can they still resist?"

Al was a little disappointed in this, but as far as the current situation is concerned, this is a good thing for him and the Westside Firm, at least the Westverse Merchant House doesn't have to face the anger of those business bigwigs, despite his protection, if these bigwigs secretly do it, the Westside Comptoir will still face a considerable dilemma.

Al pondered for a moment and ordered, "The time is almost up, starting tomorrow at the merchant houses in Hawley to start accepting orders." The old rules are to subscribe according to the family crest, and the special requirements of each family must be recorded exactly and kept for the record, what is the length, width and height, what kind of shape is required, etc., must be not leaked, no mistakes can be made, and the craftsmen must be ready, I want the best of St. Teresa, and don't let mediocre people get mixed in. The precious materials used to make the base should also be prepared, remember, the more expensive the better, if the wood is enough, if the metal is good, there should be no flaws. ”

Sasha nodded knowingly, "Understood." Then he said with regret: "It's a pity that the deal with Quinn's loser didn't work out, who would have thought that he would be stupid like that? ”

"But I still think that the signboard of the Westside Trading House is more important, since we have already released such words before, we must abide by it, and we can't go all the way. Quinn's conditions are tempting, but they are only short-term interests, and the reputation of a business house is good or bad, and the brand value is the real century-old plan. Al said categorically, "Besides, through this incident, we have established the impression in the hearts of those nobles that whatever the Western Realm Merchant House sells is the best, the most suitable for the nobles, which will be extremely useful for us to develop and sell new products in the future." ”

Sasha nodded, and said convincingly: "You still have a long-term view, since the trading house has gained a firm foothold, you can't just stare at the present, it's the style of a small workshop, you should look farther." But after all, he is still a native of the old-fashioned businessman, and the concept of the brand is not so deep, and he is still a little resentful about not making this historic transaction.

Seeing that his face was unhappy, Al opened his mouth to comfort: "Actually, it's not that there are no immediate benefits at all, this electric light business is not as simple as you think, Mr. Sasha. ”

Sasha was surprised and asked, "Isn't this lamp sold as a luxury?

Al smiled and said: "Do you think that lamp is really like a magic lamp in the holy scriptures? Eternal and inextinguishable, I have tested this electric lamp, if it is always on, it can last for about a month, and when the time comes, those nobles will have to take it to the trading house to repair it, which of course they will have to pay." Therefore, although this electric light is a profiteering business, it is actually a long-term business, and there is no other company except us, which is a monopoly in the real sense. ”

"So that's the case, no wonder you value the electric light business so much, it will indeed develop into the fist product and pillar industry of our Western Border Commercial Bank in the future. Sasha completely understood, and said with emotion: "This time the gods are also on our side, I heard that Quinn's loser is drinking flower wine in the pear blossom begonia building, and he is jealous and jealous of others, and he will desperately offer such a price when he is hot, it is not for his trouble, our reputation is not so easy to rise." ”

For Sasha's emotion, Al could only smile back, and he secretly complained in his heart: "I just asked him to find a way to sell a bitter trick and stir up the reputation of the electric light, who knew that this guy would play so big this time, he was not afraid that I would be greedy, and he really took all the gold coins and property regardless of his skin?"

Obviously, the farce that happened today is a double reed drama that Al has already discussed with Quinn, singing and harmonizing, but because of someone's escape, the script is directly beyond Al's control, fortunately, Sasha is well-informed and can stay calm, otherwise Al will really be difficult to ride the tiger.

As for the electric light as the main business of the commercial house, it was Al who had long thought about it, and on the earth, many famous enterprises, such as Siemens, Philips, and General Electric of the United States, all started with electric lights. Now electric lights can only be sold as luxury goods, and when one day electric lights can really enter thousands of households and become people's daily necessities, the Westland Commercial Bank will also usher in a real transformation and development.
