Chapter 518: High-end Pedestrian Street
"Village Chief, this is a newly built pedestrian street. It is a high-end pedestrian street. Although there are not many people here, the people who come here to spend money are rich and expensive." Meng Yi said, "This place can bring more than 30 people to the village a month. Millions of taxes."
"Isn't that 3.6 million yuan that year?" Ying Zheng was shocked, "How can a small pedestrian street have so much tax revenue?"
Not only Ying Zheng was puzzled, but Li Si and others were also puzzled. Why could a small street have so much tax revenue? The busiest street in Xianyang City did not have so much tax revenue. I am afraid that half of Xianyang City could only collect tax revenue. There are so many taxes.
Meng Yi replied: "This is why I brought everyone here. Xianyang City is very wealthy. But there is no such pedestrian street, and there is no reasonable arrangement of the consumption system between nobles and common people.
This resulted in the common people buying and selling things being squeezed by the nobles.
To put it simply, when the nobles buy things from the common people, they always do so at a low price. If they cannot buy something, they will be bullied by the nobles.
This is because there is no distinction between the consumption of common people and the consumption of nobles, which is also a loophole in the law and is the norm in the world. Read the book
Therefore, I hope that the village chief can rearrange the commercial pedestrian streets into low-end consumer pedestrian streets, mid-range consumer pedestrian streets, and high-end consumer pedestrian streets. "
Jiang Lu suddenly became energetic and asked: "Can three pedestrian streets increase the court's tax revenue?"
"Definitely," Meng Yi said, "Sir, he said that people need face, especially rich people. The richer they are, the more face they have.
The original commercial street was full of people, whether they were nobles or poor people, buying and selling things here.
Therefore, when the nobles see good things, they will lower the price, or play tricks to bring down the price of good things.
But after clearly distinguishing the three consumption areas, will the nobles still go to the low-consumption area for the sake of face? "
"Of course not. If people know that my dignified Master Lu actually buys things in a low-consumption area, will I still have face?" Jiang Lu said.
Others nodded. If someone found out that their nobles bought things and defrauded the poor, the family's face would be lost in Xianyang City.
Meng Yi nodded and said, "Yes, for the sake of face, everyone will go to high-end consumption areas to buy things. Even if it is a green onion or an egg, they will not go to low-end consumption areas to buy it.
In addition, there are wealthy businessmen who feel honored to use the same things as the nobles. This is also for the sake of face.
Ever since. High-end consumption has become a place for wealthy aristocrats and wealthy businessmen to spend money.
The mid-range consumption area has become a consumption place for ordinary nobles and businessmen.
Low-end consumption areas have become consumption venues for ordinary people and a group of subordinates.
In this way, ordinary people will not be oppressed by the nobles, and the nobles will have their own consumption place, killing two birds with one stone.
This is the best outcome for the court, and the tax revenue in high-end consumption areas is very optimistic. "
The general nodded and said, "This is a good idea. For the court, this is indeed very beneficial, but for the nobles, these things are digging into their money. How can they be willing?"
"As long as the high-end consumer streets are built, even if they are unwilling, they will become willing, and they will get used to it over time." Meng Yi said.
Li Si said: "Everyone has a desire to compare. As long as a noble shows off in front of others, others will not be able to help but buy it.
Therefore, just build high-end consumer areas.
But there is a very important point in the middle. "
Gan Luo nodded and said, "Master Li is right. There is indeed an important point that Master Meng has ignored."
Jiang Lu asked curiously: "What is it?"
Gan Luo smiled and said: "Since it is a high-end consumer area, all the goods should be worth the money, at least better than the low-end and mid-range consumer areas."
Meng Yi replied: "Yes, it is indeed much better. Now I will take everyone to buy clothes, and then compare
Let’s look at the difference between the clothes you wear and the clothes you buy. "
"Okay." Everyone responded.
Later, Meng Yi took everyone to a clothing store in a high-end pedestrian street.
"Welcome, distinguished guests." The two waiters bowed to Ying Zheng and others at a thirty-degree salute the moment the store door was opened.
The voices of the two waiters were very nice. After listening to them, Ying Zheng and others felt very comfortable.
"Oh my god. What kind of decoration is this? Why do ordinary stores have electric lights?" Meng Xifan said.
After last night's introduction, Meng Xifan and the others already knew about the electric light.
I originally thought that electric lights could only be found in some special places, such as hotels, streets, and Qin An's yard.
But I didn't expect that even the clothing store was equipped with electric lights, and not only the electric lights, but the decoration of the store was also eye-catching.
The white European-style decoration, the lights of the store, and the clothes all made their eyes shine.
Ying Zheng and others knew at a glance that the goods here were very high-end.
A waiter came forward and said: "Dear distinguished guests, we have Han Dynasty costumes, Tang Dynasty costumes, Ming Dynasty costumes, Qin Dynasty costumes, sweaters, cardigans, and even underwear."
"Oh." Ying Zheng was a little surprised, "You all have underwear?"
"Yes." The waiter said, "This clothing store belongs to my husband. He said that the clothes worn by the villagers are from the Qin Dynasty. Although we passed it down to the Qin Dynasty, we still need to understand it.
As for underwear, my husband also invented it. They are much more comfortable than underwear.
Not only that, the women's clothing store also has underwear and underwear worn by women. "
When talking about women's underwear, the waiter's face turned red.
Everyone looked at the waiter strangely. Isn't it just underwear? It was like a woman's bellyband, which was rare and strange.
Ying Zheng glanced at the clothes around him, and finally pointed at a set of clothes and said, "What dynasty are those clothes from?"
"This is a suit, which will be worn by successful people in the future, whether it is when getting married, talking about business with people, or when the heads of state between two countries meet.
Wearing a suit can prove that you are a successful person. Dear distinguished guest, do you want to try it on? If you like it, we can also tailor it.
We are also equipped with belts, shirts, ties, and leather shoes. "
"Successful people. Hum, then I'm going to give it a try." Ying Zheng said with a smile.
"Okay, distinguished guest, I will bring you the suit now."
Then the waiter took a rough look at Ying Zheng's figure, and then selected the size of the suit based on his approximate figure.
"Dear guest, this is the suit I selected for you. Please go to the fitting room and try it on."
