Chapter 522 Buying a watch
"There are clothes coming out every season?" Gan Mao couldn't help but ask.
"Of course, sir, I have set up a design department specifically for this purpose, a department dedicated to designing clothes.
At the same time, many female workers are invited to make the clothes designed by the design department.
As long as something looks good, it will be mass-produced in a garment factory. "Meng Yi replied.
Ying Zheng nodded and said: "Very good, now there are garment factories outside the village. Meng Yi, if there are new styles in the future, he will take them outside and let the garment factories make them."
"No." Meng Yi responded,
Ying Zheng looked at Jiang Lu and said, "Lao San, do you think this can become part of the Imperial Merchant?"
"Okay." Jiang Lu said uncertainly.
"What does it mean to be okay? If it's okay, it's okay. If it's not okay, then it's not okay. How can it be okay?" Ying Zheng said in a deep voice.
"Father, calm down," Jiang Lu said, "It's not that I'm not sure. It's actually my first time coming into contact with state-owned enterprises and royal merchants, and I don't understand many of them.
I originally wanted to ask my brother-in-law last night, but it was too late, so I had to give up.
Also, this garment factory has shares owned by my brother-in-law. If I let Huang Shang run it, wouldn't it be said that my father-in-law robbed my son-in-law's business? "
Ying Zheng nodded slightly and said, "Even if what you say makes sense, you should find time to go to Qin An to inquire about state-owned enterprises and imperial merchants.
Also learn a little more about business.
Although you cannot become an emperor in the court, you can become an emperor in business, and Ying Gao can become an emperor in other fields.
I hope that my children will all have skills and become emperors in a certain field. "
"My father has placed high hopes on us, and I feel deeply honored. I will do my best to satisfy my father." Jiang Lu said seriously.
Ying Zheng nodded and said, "I believe you. Let's go to the next stop."
Meng Yi immediately said: "Village Chief, after we buy clothes, we should buy ourselves a men's watch."
watch?
Everyone was stunned. This was the first time they heard this word.
Seeing everyone's puzzled expressions, Meng Yi immediately said, "It's just a device used to tell the time. It's very useful."
"If it's a good thing, you have to go see it." Ying Zheng said with a smile.
"Village chief, please come this way."
Later, under the leadership of Meng Yi, everyone came to the watch store.
"Welcome, distinguished guests." The two waiters bowed thirty degrees to Ying Zheng and others.
Seeing the exact same etiquette, Meng Yi immediately explained: "This is a welcome gift for future generations. The purpose is to give customers a good impression."
Everyone suddenly realized.
After everyone entered the store, a waiter immediately explained the watch to everyone, so that everyone had a certain understanding of the watch.
Everyone looked at the watches in the cabinet with curiosity. Can such a small gadget allow us to tell the time?
"Hurry up and take one out and let me take a look." Ying Zheng said impatiently.
The waiter immediately put on gloves and took out one of the watches.
"Dear guest, this is a gold watch. The strap is made of pure gold. The hour hands inside are made of special metal. It is a fully mechanical watch and is worth ten thousand dollars."
"How much?" Ying Zheng was shocked.
"Dear guest, I know you are surprised and think this price is extremely high." The waiter said with a smile, "Please take a closer look. This is made of gold, and the special metal inside, and..."
After the waiter's dazzling introduction, Ying Zheng's heart was won over bit by bit.
"Okay, I bought it." Ying Zheng decided to buy it before the waiter finished speaking.
The waiter smiled inwardly and said, "Great, I will now explain to the distinguished guest how to read the watch.
The time of the watch divides the time of the day into
24 hours corresponds to our twelve hours, with noon as the corresponding point. What we call noon is 12 noon.
Dear distinguished guests, please see, when the hour hand, minute hand and second hand point to 12 o'clock at the same time, it will be noon, which is 12 o'clock.
besides……"
After the waiter's introduction, everyone knew how to tell the time, and also how the twelve hours corresponded to 24 hours.
"Wonderful, wonderful. I didn't expect that the time could be so precise." Ying Zheng couldn't help but admire.
Meng Yi replied: "That's true. It's not a fuss to make the time accurate enough, or it's just a trivial matter.
It also depends on which aspect it is used for.
If it is in the military, this precise time can give the army a great advantage. With precise time, the army can better ambush and attack better.
Can better command the army to act in a unified manner. "
Ying Zheng nodded and said, "You are right. Once the army can be truly unified, it will have a huge advantage for our army."
"Dear distinguished guests, we are happy if you are happy. Do you want to buy this watch?" the waiter confirmed again.
"Purchase, Meng Yi pays." Ying Zheng said.
"No." Meng Yi responded.
Ying Zheng looked at the other watches on the counter and said, "Let me try all the other watches."
"OK, just a second."
Then Ying Zheng began to try on one watch after another, and he couldn't put it down for every watch.
Finally, under the introduction of the waiter, I bought the three most expensive watches.
As for Li Si and others, they also love watches, which are simply made specifically for men.
They feel that as long as they are men, they will fall in love with this watch.
When the waiter saw that Ying Zheng and the others had bought all the watches, he began to recommend women's watches.
Women's watches are more delicate, and you can tell at a glance that this watch is specially designed for women. .
Ying Zheng looked at the women's watch and first asked about the price. When he learned that the price was similar to that of the men's watch, he felt that it was unnecessary.
So I didn't buy anything and left the watch store directly.
Outside the store.
Ying Zheng asked curiously: "Why didn't I see Qin An and the others wearing watches?"
"They all have it, it's just blocked by their sleeves. Only my husband doesn't have it, because he has a mobile phone with him, and the time is also displayed on the phone." Meng Yi explained.
Ying Zheng recalled the situation at that time, and it was indeed true. They were still wearing Qin clothes, so they couldn't see the wrists of the three women.
"This watch is a good thing, but the price is too high. Otherwise, it can be popularized and used by people in the military." Ying Zheng said.
"It will happen in the future." Meng Yi said: "The price of an electronic watch made of plastic is less than usual. It's just that it's not possible to realize it now."
"Nonsense." Ying Zheng said angrily.
"Your Majesty, forgive me." Meng Yi immediately apologized.
"Okay, take us to the next store quickly."
"promise."
