Chapter 247: Menting Ruo City
Shuofang East City is divided into inside and outside, and the road on the Wangjiang River is uneven.
This lament that circulated among the people of Shuofang East City no longer exists. In the inner city, ordinary people and even beggars can easily enter and exit, and is no longer a gathering place for the powerful and powerful gentry.
Bang bang bang bang ~~
Early this morning, Zhongshan Road, which almost turned into a scenic spot in the Shuofang, welcomed visitors who were very novel about cement roads as usual.
However, unlike in the past, a small platform half a foot high was built in the middle of the road today.
On the platform, people ring gongs from time to time, and then a scholar dressed in a scholar read aloud with a notice.
"From now, by the end of this month, anyone who spends over 500 escorts in any store on Zhongshan Road can participate in the large-scale lottery event held at the end of this month with the store receipt. The number of prizes is limited, which is unique in the world. If you pass by, don't miss it."
Most of the people who visited Zhongshan Road were foreign merchants. When they heard this, they were stunned at first, and then they all sneered at it. They had seen too many such promotional methods. Not to mention that they had seen them, they had even operated them themselves.
However, the scholars on the platform seemed to have expected it. Facing the disdainful eyes of everyone, they continued to say loudly: "The prizes have been decided at present: the fifth prize, one hundred cans of Yuxi pickles, and the taste is optional."
"Huh? Yuxi kimchi?" Someone became interested and looked at Ma Zhou on the stage with curiosity, waiting for the following text.
Ma Zhou raised his mouth and continued: "The fourth prize is 100 coal stoves, and the goods can be picked up on the same day."
"Wow? Didn't you say that the coal stove is out of stock?" More interested people were.
"The third prize is a shop in the core area of Zhongshan Road. It has the right to use half a year and enjoy the priority lease right after half a year."
"Half-year use rights, what the hell is this? I want kimchi and coal stoves. Is there an egg for the shop here?"
Ma Zhou glanced at the man and continued: "Second Prize, half-bone mirror."
"Half-body mirror? What's so strange about this? I have so many bronze mirrors in my family. Labor and capital are doing this business." Some people disdained.
Ma Zhou had no intention of keeping him in hiding, and finally announced: "The first prize is a full-length mirror."
"Buzz buzz ~~~"
Looking at the crowd whispering in the audience, Ma Zhou slapped his hands and said no matter how much he said, he would not be as happy as he came directly on the real thing.
Everyone in the audience looked curiously, but saw someone pushing two black cloth objects on both sides of the stage.
Ma Zhou bowed and bowed to everyone in the audience and shouted: "These two items are first and second prizes. From today on, we will be placed here directly for free for everyone to visit. However, we have stated in advance that my husband has no plans to trade this item. If anyone likes it, please participate in it according to the lottery rules. My husband will be closed to thank the guests this month."
After saying that, facing everyone's surprise gaze, Ma Zhou pulled away the two black brasses.
The air solidifies instantly.
The morning light shines through the clouds on two mirrors, one big and one small, and is reflected on everyone's faces, so dazzling!
"Wow!"
The cheers came just right, neither early nor late. Ma Zhou carried his hands on his back, his eyes were smiling, and Shi Shiran walked off the platform.
······
······
I only breathed a dozen times in front and behind. When the person who had finally queued up to look in the mirror walked off the platform, the shock in my heart still couldn't calm down for a long time.
"This, is this treasure mirror really going to be given to someone for a lottery?" This person still couldn't accept this fact.
The guards sent to take charge of the guards next to him nodded: "My husband is the only one. Since it is used for lottery, that's true. Don't doubt it, you will know the end of the month."
This merchant just couldn't believe it. If he had such a treasure, he would definitely wish to be a heirloom treasure for offering it, so how could he show it to others?
But not only did she take it out, she also tried different ways to give it to others for free. Are you angry?
"Oh, I'm fine, old man, I'm not bothered. Even if it's a lottery, I still have a chance. I've just not eaten the morning food yet, so I'll be cheaper that guy He Sheng......"
On Zhongshan Road, there are only four stores that have been opened, one is Ziyunxuan and one is Cuiyuxuan. The remaining two restaurants are He Sheng's industries.
If you spend more than 500 es, you can get a lottery draw. Someone immediately understands it. If you spend five hundred es, then 1,000 essays will be twice, and 5 stanzas will be ten times. In short, the more you spend, the more times you draw, and the greater the probability of winning the prize.
Therefore, on this day, many people who had eaten at He's restaurant walked to Cuiyuxuan and chose a favorite jewelry. After that, they didn't rush back and took a walk on the cement road to eat. They waited for the afternoon when the lights of Ziyunxuan were on, and then went to Ziyunxuan to listen to the music and enjoy the entertainment.
I have to say that the lethality of the mirror is still very powerful in this era. Even Xi Yunfei, who was sitting in the box on the third floor of Ziyunxuan and listening to Pei Mingli's report, was full of shock.
At the beginning, Xi Yunfei just wanted to give He Sheng the mirror and ask him to hold a lottery event at He's Restaurant to have an irreplicable promotion.
However, Ma Zhou stopped him. After several discussions, the commercial street promotion plan was finalized. In just one day's results, Xi Yunfei was stunned and admired Ma Zhou very much.
"Hanwai has already counted it. The current turnover is about 3,400 guan. It is not dark yet. Today, it is expected to exceed 5,000 guan. If the agreement is implemented and exceeds 5,000 guan, we can make a profit of 30% from it. If we deduct the cost, it will be at least 800 guan."
Xi Yunfei was stunned. This number was a bit scary. Even Mu Ziyi, who was playing the piano and singing music behind the screen, paused, almost breaking her voice.
Pei Mingli glanced at the beautiful figure behind the screen and explained: "Mr. Lang still underestimated the attractiveness of this mirror. According to Mr. He, many people basically pointed to expensive points, ordered five hundred documents to settle the account, and then ordered it again. In this way, there was no time to eat food. Later, they basically bought settlement receipts, and there were almost no serious people who ate."
Xi Yunfei frowned. If this is the case, it would be a bit of a bit of putting the cart before the horse. What he wanted was to make Zhongshan Road completely prosperous, rather than a flash in the pan.
Seeing Xi Yunfei frowning, Pei Mingli hurriedly added: "Mr., it's not their fault. The main reason is that there are only four stores that can be consumed on our road. If you don't buy it like this, they won't have a place to make up the number of times."
"Uh..." Pei Mingli said that there are only four stores on the huge Zhongshan Road. Even if each of them is crowded, how many people can it accommodate?
Knock knock knock knock ~
The door of the private room was knocked.
Xi Yunfei nodded to Pei Mingli, who said aloud: "Please come in."
Scream~
The door was pushed open from outside, and Ma Zhou walked in with a pile of paper in his arms.
After seeing Xi Yunfei, Ma Zhou smiled and put the paper on the table: "Mr. Lang, live up to expectations. In just half a day, nearly a hundred merchants signed for the contract. According to your instructions, the same type of shops will be kept at two to three. If not, the merchants who have settled in will have to double."
