One thousand guan is still the starting price.
As soon as Xiong Ting said these words, several wealthy businessmen in the crowd couldn't help but change their expressions.
"This, this is too expensive, who can afford it?" The businessman who originally wanted to negotiate with Xiong Ting for the price of fifty guan now really feels that it is too expensive.
Xiong Ting smiled and did not answer. In fact, he himself felt that the price was too expensive, but he had no choice. These were not his things, and he could not decide the price. These prices were set by Mr. Han. When Xiong Ting heard about it for the first time, he also suggested to Mr. Han that he should lower the price? He was worried that such a price would prevent the mirror from being sold.
But Xiong Ting's worry was greeted by Han Du's mysterious smile. Tell him: "When buying something, you have to study the psychology of the person buying it. Some people don't ask for the best when buying things, but the most expensive. The owner who can spend 500 yuan on a dressing mirror doesn't care about spending another 100 yuan on it. Qian Guan buys a custom-made one. Even if it is a custom-made one like yours, which is exactly the same as the vanity mirror sold for 500 Guan, they are still willing to pay for it."
Of course, Mr. Han also talked about why he bought it, not a dressing mirror, but a status symbol, etc. But from Xiong Ting's point of view, he himself didn't believe what Master Han said, but since the master had decided, he could only implement it according to the master's request.
"Everyone," Xiong Ting spread his hands and said with a smile, "Everything in our store is of the same price. Whether you buy one piece, a hundred pieces or a thousand pieces, the price is the same."
Several businessmen felt depressed when they heard that Xiong Ting would not pay a penny.
But Xiong Ting's next words cheered them up.
"But our store only accepts precious banknotes, which means that our store only accepts precious banknotes. Even if you come with silver, our store will not sell it."
Do you only recognize treasure notes but not silver?
Several people's eyes suddenly widened. Silver is now more valuable than treasure notes. Especially in recent times, the value of treasure notes has dropped sharply. In less than a month, the treasure note has dropped from the original exchange rate of about 970 Wen to 900 Wen.
Originally, these businessmen thought that Xiong Ting, who was such a good mirror, would only trade with silver, but they didn't expect that he would do the opposite and only trade with treasure notes.
If this is the case, doesn't it mean that buying a mirror now is about 10% cheaper than it will be later?
The one who responded quickly had already signaled his followers to go home and collect treasure money.
As for other ordinary people, they just come in to see the wonders, especially the four huge transparent glasses installed on the door, which are the most interesting to see.
Xiong Ting was busy all day and went to the backyard to find Han Du with the results of the day.
After meeting Han Du, Xiong Ting placed today's mirror sales account book next to Han Du. He sighed and said: "Sir, today is the first day of opening. I didn't expect that the sales situation would not be ideal. There is a big gap between what we expected."
"Oh?" Han Du put down the tea cup in his hand, picked up the account book, looked through it, and chuckled. Said: "I was able to sell more than 8,000 Guan on the first day, which is not bad."
Xiong Ting was stunned when he heard this, looked at Han Du and asked doubtfully: "Is this not bad? Didn't you say that glass mirrors are a big business with millions of dollars? Now on the first day, only 8,000 have been sold. Duo Guan, when will those millions of Guan be sold?" In Xiong Ting's view, it was a good start on the first day, so the sales should be several times the usual amount. Now we only sold this little amount even on the first day. How can we sell so many hard products until the Year of the Monkey and the Horse?
Han Du was not as anxious as Xiong Ting. He poured a cup of tea for Xiong Ting and said comfortingly: "Don't be too impatient. Everything is difficult at the beginning."
Han Du made it easy, but in the face of such a situation, how could Xiong Ting not be anxious? The current situation, on the contrary, has the flavor of 'the emperor is not in a hurry, but the eunuch is in a hurry'.
Seeing Xiong Ting about to speak, Han Du chuckled and waved his hand to stop, "Our mirror is special and different from ordinary things. Except for those businessmen, those who came today are not our customers. We are really Customers haven’t even come to the door yet, so if you can buy more than 8,000 sticks, it’s already pretty good.”
To be honest, mirrors are not very attractive to men. Even if the glass mirror is magical, for men, if you have it, you can get along without it, and it has no impact.
But for women, it's different. I wonder if women have the attributes of dragons and are particularly obsessed with shiny things. It will be the same no matter in the future or now. This hobby of women has almost remained unchanged for thousands of years. Otherwise, there will be no future where someone can use a broken stone no bigger than a bean to exchange a large amount of money from a woman's hand.
When Han Du was preparing to sell mirrors, he targeted women. It is a pity that although the customs of the Ming Dynasty imitated the prosperous Tang Dynasty, they were influenced by the Song Dynasty after all. Therefore, although women are not prohibited from wandering on the streets, there are still only a few women who are willing to show their faces.
Han Du had no choice but to wait for the news of the mirror to arrive for a while. When all the wives of wealthy families in the capital get the news, the sales of mirrors will naturally increase explosively.
For this reason, Han Du also specifically asked the Mu family of Yongchang Hou Mansion to help invite ladies from various houses to visit her dressing mirror.
Hearing this, Xiong Ting frowned. Unable to understand what Han Du meant, he asked, "Our real customers haven't come to our door yet? Sir, who are our real customers?"
"You'll know when the time comes." Han Du couldn't put these words on the table, so he had to laugh and explain them away.
When Xiong Ting heard this, he didn't feel comfortable asking further.
The name of Mingjingzhai also spread widely, especially the four huge glass walls that attracted the most talk, and were regarded by the people as a wonder in the capital. Many people from outside the capital traveled across the entire capital to come to Mingjingzhai just to take a look at the four glass walls. They couldn't afford mirrors, but the more they couldn't afford them, the more they talked about the four huge glass walls. After returning home, he boasted even more exaggeratedly. In this way, one spreads to ten, and ten spreads to a hundred. In just one day and one night, the name of Mingjingzhai spread throughout the capital.
Sure enough, starting from the next day, the sales of mirrors increased day by day. However, after more than ten days, Xiong Ting could no longer receive the people who came into the store to buy mirrors. All these people were left to the waiters. And he was too busy just to hold talks with various businessmen.
