Chapter 474: Strange Things

Next. Shen Wenjun wrote an announcement and hyped it up. Song Che went around Hangzhou and was finally selected

"West Lake" this place. The West Lake has beautiful scenery and convenient clothing, food, housing and transportation, and the transaction rate will be much higher if you open the exhibition here and do business with a relaxed heart.

In the afternoon of the same day, Song Che went to Lin'an Mansion to find Yin Liu Boyong to propose an exhibition plan. Affected by the war, Hangzhou ran out of money, Liu Boyong was also very anxious as a party strategy, heard that Song Che had a way to recover the economy, and agreed without thinking about it, and promised to rent Hangzhou West Lake for free for use, and the security during the exhibition was all taken care of by the government.

Get land for free? This was a big surprise for Song Che. As the organizer and initiator, he must not contribute in vain, and he will charge the corresponding rent for each booth.

A booth, the abbot Xu Fangyuan, charges five taels of silver a month, if the booth of two zhang Fangyuan charges ten taels, and so on.

If you can rent out 1,000 booths, the rent will be 5,000 taels, which is still a good deal for pure profit and steady profit!

After the notice of the exhibition was issued, the two Zhejiang, Huainan, Jiangnan, all large and small commercial banks, as well as businessmen from all over the world, actively signed up to participate, and in less than five days, there were more than 400; After counting the goods and booths sold by each merchant, Song Che asked the guys to divide the area and the size of the exhibition along the West Lake;

"Brother-in-law, we have rented a full four zhang square, you have to find a good place for us!" Cousin Zhou Hui greeted in advance.

"Okay, don't worry, Sister Hui, the fat water doesn't flow into the fields of outsiders...... Oh yes, I personally have a small suggestion, your booth is so big, it is better to plan, for example, put a counter in front, put a commodity display case on the left, put a few tables and chairs on the right, and prepare some tea and pastries on the day of the meeting; There is a good saying, 'three cups of wine in the red dust, a pot of tea in the great cause of a thousand autumns', and the people who really do big business are always promoted by talking and laughing. ”

"Brother-in-law, you're so fine!" That's not it, when Song Che just graduated from university, he went out to the market every day, and he always had to participate in several exhibitions a year, business etiquette, meeting skills, and sophistication, all of which were easy to handle.

In this exhibition, the Shen family's Yunshuifang, the Zhou family's jewelry shop, the rouge gouache shop, and the tea and porcelain in the warehouse all have booths, and the locations are selected in the place with the most traffic, hang a big-character poster, pull a long red, you write a few eye-catching advertising slogans, and the guests will be attracted by the booth lintel as long as they look up; As soon as the guests smell it, they will be intoxicated by the aroma of the booth; Then behind the booth counter, arrange two beautiful welcome ladies, with their looks and smiles, the guests are willing to stay a little longer.

In a word, as long as you can catch the flow of passengers, gold and silver can be put in your pocket! This is marketing.

…… The busy days passed quickly, and before I knew it, it was mid-May, and in the hot weather, the exhibition was also hotly held.

Song Che rented a small building by the West Lake, one is to collect rent and divide booths, and the other is to set up a Tianxia Qian Zhuang office to facilitate guests to store and borrow.

"Shopkeeper, we also want to rent a booth and sell some of our own aquatic products, I don't know if it's okay?" A fisherman couple hesitated for a long time, but still walked into the small building to consult.

Nangong Yue, who was in charge of registration, said: "It can be, but on this hot day, it can't be a living thing, otherwise it will stink and affect the exhibition very much." The fisherman said, "This shopkeeper, you put a hundred hearts, we buy all dry goods, a little fishy, but there is no smell." Nangong Yue nodded, wrote a number plate, and asked the fishermen to pay the rent, and then the shop guy took it to the booth.

Yes, there is no threshold for this exhibition, as long as it is not a shocking thing, it can be sold at the exhibition.

In addition to the profits of the exhibitors, the carpenters who rent tables and chairs, the vendors who set up their stalls to sell cold drinks, the restaurants that provide food, and the inns that provide accommodation will all make a lot of money.

The one-month exhibition, not to mention far away, can at least pull the overall economy of Jiangnan to a large extent.

Song Che stood on the second floor, looking at the more than 1,300 booths that almost surrounded the West Lake, densely packed with merchants and guests, and couldn't help but feel a trace of pride in his heart.

It is an ordinary person to make a fortune by himself, and he can be regarded as a small great man if he leads others to get rich, right?

"Song Che Song Che, look at us, what did you buy?" Ning Yehong hugged a maned bobtail cat and raised it above her head with a grin,

"Look, this is a 'Persian cat' bought from a Persian merchant, with a round face, short legs, a short tail, and different eye colors, which is really strange and cute."

"I'm so strange about this, it's the 'divine bird' I bought from the big cannibal, called a parrot, it can imitate our speech!" Cao Lin mentioned the bird cage and whispered to the green-haired parrot inside: "Stupid." The parrot flapped its wings and reproduced a sentence

"Stupid".

"Hehehe...... How, isn't it fun? ”

"Cut, what are you guys talking about?" Lin Yue was holding a bamboo cage with some dead branches piled up in the cage, and she asked proudly, "Look, what is in this cage?" Ning Yehong looked at them for a long time, and wondered: "Aren't they just some dead branches?" What's so strange? ”

"Then you'll see." Lin Yue used chopsticks to poke the dead branch twice, and soon it was

The creature "ambushed" on the dead branch took on its original form, a chameleon.

"It'...... It turned out to be colored! ”

"Hey, awesome, right? This is the 'chameleon lizard' I bought from a Tianzhu merchant, and it can change the color of its body depending on the environment! "But if she had known, a thousand years from now, these Tianzhu people would even rape lizards, and they would never do business with them again.

These strange things are certainly not cheap. But it's also reasonable to think about it, if you pull the panda to sell it in a foreign country, it can also sell for a sky-high price.

"Hey, by the way, when I passed by a big food vendor's booth, I saw him selling a 'cornucopia', and when I heard him recite the mantra, gold coins would fall out of the basin." Ning Yehong said a novelty.

"Really? It can't be a charlatan, right?

"There were a lot of onlookers at that time, and the big food merchant also went to the crowd to check the pot to make sure that there was no problem before starting to cast the spell, and I saw him pour out a gold coin after reciting the spell."

"Speaking of which, I also saw a miraculous cannibal, who could levitate in the air with a stick and was motionless, and the believers called him 'prophet', and many people went to him to tell fortunes." A cornucopia of gold coins?

A prophet suspended in the air? Song Che suddenly felt that it was necessary to fight a dozen fakes. In this exhibition, there is no room for scammers to take shortcuts.
