Chapter 40: There is a mall
In the past few days, the people of Chang'an City have seen a strange situation, there is an inn located in Shanhefang is surrounded by red silk cloth, yes, the entire inn is surrounded by several layers of shelves built with bamboo, and then completely surrounded by red silk cloth.
What everyone didn't expect was that so many houses around this inn were actually one, and these houses had been closed before, and no one knew why, but now they all know it, and it turned out to be one family.
What is going on inside, everyone doesn't know, but I heard from the outside world that this inn is actually the assets of His Royal Highness the King of Shu, I heard that the inside is being redecorated, anyway, everyone said that there is a nose and eyes, I don't know what the situation is.
However, many people are waiting for this inn to reopen, and they want to see what kind of decoration is this inn, such a big formation? The red silk cloth that surrounds the inn alone is worth a lot of money!
Of course, this is nothing to His Royal Highness the King of Shu.
People outside are speculating, and the powerful people in the entire Tang Dynasty are also guessing at this moment, but they are different from the outside world, they probably know what to do here, it should be His Royal Highness the King of Shu who wants to sell that mercury mirror!
It was amazing, and many of them had already seen it. Especially the female family members of various officials, the ladies were invited into the palace by Concubine Yang and went to see it, and some county lords, county lords and the little ladies who were not out of the cabinet of various officials' families were invited into the palace by Her Royal Highness Princess Changle.
When I came back, the mercury mirror was blown into the sky! It is said that the figure seen inside is not known to be many times clearer than the bronze mirror, not to mention, it is even exactly the same as what you see! There is simply no difference!
Many officials' wives and daughters came back and stared at their own heads of the house, asking him to buy this mirror.
Not to mention these officials, even the crown prince's princess, Concubine Su, knew about it, and the princess, who has always been low-key, told the prince about it.
So, the magnates of the entire Chang'an City want to know what is going on with this mercury mirror.
Eldest Sun Wuji's face was a little dark, he probably guessed that this thing should have been made by Li Ke to make money, no wonder he dared to make that bet with the eldest grandson's family, although it was not a bet, but the previous Li Ke definitely did not have that qualification.
And he also knows that Li Ke and Li Shimin sold 200,000 guan, 200,000 guan is not a small number, Datang's annual financial income is only 10 million guan, and 200,000 guan is already one-fiftieth of it, this is the ninth year of Zhenguan, if it was a few years ago, Li Shimin would not have been able to come up with so much money.
But the eldest grandson Wuji was not worried, he just sneered, naïve! Thought that just relying on a mercury mirror could win his eldest grandson's family? The mirror is indeed magical, and every family is estimated to buy it, if it is a woman, it is a woman, not to mention women, but they also like these officials who need to go to the court?
Even the eldest grandson's family will buy it, but can that thing make a lot of money?! The mirror is a one-time consumption, as long as you are careful, you can use it for ten years, eight years, or even decades.
How much money can he Li Ke make in a year?
What's more, the eldest grandson Wuji also heard that Li Ke took over a pit by himself in order to get the 200,000 yuan from Li Shimin's hands, and he had to deal with the homeless people and beggars in Chang'an City, he was afraid that he didn't know how many homeless people and beggars there were in Chang'an City, right? How much does it cost to feed these people for a year?
After deducting the cost of his production for 200,000 yuan, how much money can he have left in the end? It can only be said that he is still too young!
So the eldest grandson Wuji was not worried at all, and even he would generously go to Li Ke's store to buy a few mirrors for his wife and daughter.
But although he is not worried, being calculated by such a small thing, the eldest grandson Wuji is a little uncomfortable in his heart.
……
Li Ke naturally didn't know what Eldest Sun Wuji thought, and he didn't worry about it when he knew it, joke, if His Highness let you know what he did, then it would be worth it?! At this moment, Li Ke is directing people to put everything that should be placed in place.
"Your Highness, this sofa ...... It's so comfortable, and where did you get this chair? Tian Meng looked at the sofa in front of him with some shock. The bottom of it is a wooden structure, and the outside seems to be leather, but the inside is filled with something I don't know what it is, softer than silk cotton, and after the whole person sits on it, it directly sinks in.
Where did it come from?! Of course, it came from the office building of the strategic reserve warehouse in his mind. Li Ke added in his heart that he moved things for a night yesterday, and he was so tired.
The whole office building is so big, Li Ke moved most of the sofas in the reception room, but even then he didn't finish moving, mainly a ten-storey office building, there are too many sofas in it, and there is really no use of such a shopping mall.
These sofas are located in several major stores, as well as in an open lounge on the second floor.
In addition to these sofas are chairs, the chairs are uniformly purchased office chairs, not rotatable ones, but used by conference rooms and ordinary employees, and the following are support legs similar to the zigzag shape, the chair surface is leather and sponge, and the backrest is a wire mesh structure.
There are even more such chairs, Li Ke estimates that he has not even used one-third, and all the VIP rooms here, including the hall below, use this kind of chair.
This thing is somewhat over-the-top, not to mention anything else, the steel used as a chair leg is not something that can be made in this era, but Li Ke is not ready to explain it, when the time comes, they can think whatever they like.
At this moment, all the main windows of this mall have been replaced, all of them have been replaced with glass! The room suddenly became much brighter.
Not only that, Li Ke also brought many different things over, cough, there are some things that are absolutely impossible to describe in this era, and Li Ke also brought them.
For example, large band-aids and women's sports bras, and these two are from a newly unlocked warehouse, this time Li Ke went in and found that the fog inside had expanded a lot, and a new warehouse was unlocked, although only a small part was unlocked.
It's just that what Li Ke didn't expect was that this new warehouse was actually women's products, and the two things that were currently unlocked were large band-aids and women's tactical sports bras, to be honest, Li Ke never knew that this thing was also a strategic reserve.
Now that I think about it, it seems to be normal, as if sanitary napkins are really a kind of military strategic materials.
And like women's tactical sports underwear, Li Ke also saw it, all the styles are basically the same, there are no bells and whistles, they are all army green, this thing should also belong to a kind of military strategic reserve, but I didn't expect that some of their warehouses here also have them.
Hmph, His Highness will let you know the weight of the national strategic reserves, do you really think that His Highness moved bricks in vain?
