Time passes day by day, and in a blink of an eye, January 6th comes.
This day, early morning.
Lin Feng and Bai Yuyao got up early. After Lin Feng's morning exercise, he and Bai Yuyao had breakfast, and the two of them went to the Lin family's shop in Dongshi. This shop covers a vast area, about one hundred acres.
This was specially purchased, with a shop in front of it, at least about 500 square meters. As for the backyard of the shop, it is a warehouse built. All the made down jackets are piled in the backyard warehouse.
Lin Feng and Bai Yuyao arrived at the shop, and people were already busy preparing.
Although everything has been arranged before, things like this will happen when things come to pass.
The two of them worked hard for a while. It was completely bright and there were more people coming and going on the street. Many people have gathered on the street outside Lin's shop. These people are outside the shop, not to buy so-called down jackets, but more to watch the excitement.
Some people even wanted to see Lin Feng’s jokes.
Making clothes from duck feathers?
That's a fantasy.
Totally impossible.
Many members of the big families in Xianyang City were extremely hostile to Lin Feng because of the imperial court's policy of dividing the family into an equal share. Even though the emperor supported Lin Feng, no one could impeach Lin Feng, and no one even dared to impeach Lin Feng again for fear of being liquidated by the emperor.
Now Lin Feng is in trouble, and he is self-righteous and wants to make money by making clothes with duck feathers. In the eyes of people from major families, it was a lie, just to defraud people of the little money they had in their pockets.
Under this premise, people from the big family naturally came after hearing the news.
In addition, there are also many businessmen gathered. These people come to the shops not only to watch the show, but also to observe.
Businessmen seek profits, and everyone knows that the Lin family's business system, ranging from tea, medicinal materials, restaurants, etc., is excellent, and without exception they are all successful. It can be seen that the Lin family's business operations are far superior to others.
Businessmen are doubtful, but they still have some thoughts in their hearts.
What if it happens?
So, think more carefully.
Originally, after Lin Feng arranged for people to announce the opening on January 6, before the opening time, a businessman had actually contacted Bai Yuyao, hoping to know the situation of the down jacket in advance and to discuss the purchase.
Bai Yuyao refused directly.
Down jackets are genuine and good clothes. They must first be promoted in the market, bought by countless people, and recognized by countless people before they can be sold to merchants in large quantities.
If you sell it now, you can't raise the price, and you may even get a lower price.
Lin Feng looked at Bai Yuyao in the room and saw that Bai Yuyao was a little nervous. He smiled and said: "Yuyao, you are also someone who has experienced great battles. You have managed many properties of our Lin family. Why are there still some problems now?" I’m nervous.”
Bai Yuyao said: "Husband, even though this is the case, I am still a little worried. I am very sure that the down jackets made by our Lin family will definitely be a great success and will be sought after by countless people. I just feel a little crazy in my heart. , I’m just a little uneasy. After all, this down jacket is the first of its kind in the world.”
Lin Feng said: "Relax, there is no problem. Everything depends on strength. Our down jacket has this strength."
Bai Yuyao nodded.
She took a deep breath, adjusted her mentality, and quickly recovered.
The hall where down jackets are sold is already full of clothes in large and small sizes. Whether you are a man or a woman, there are sizes. It’s just that there are very few styles launched today. Bai Yuyao's plan is to launch down jackets first and then gradually improve them.
"Master Hou, the auspicious time has come."
Gao Xiaoyu walked up to Lin Feng and reported respectfully.
Lin Feng nodded and said, "Let's go."
He took Bai Yuyao outside. The door creaked open and he saw the situation outside.
More people gathered on the street outside the gate. Because there were people who created the momentum before, plus Bai Yuyao arranged people to promote it, Lu Yi arranged people to join in the fun, and other members of the big family were talking about it.
Just like this, countless people in Xianyang paid attention.
From high-ranking officials and nobles to peddlers and foot soldiers, they were all out of curiosity, so there were hundreds of people crowding the streets.
Lu Yi was also in the crowd, but he was very low-key. Originally, he was ordered by the emperor to stay behind closed doors and think about his mistakes, but according to the emperor's order, as long as no one discovered it, there was no problem for him to go out. Lu Yi came out quietly, and he wore a hat to protect himself from the wind and snow, and also wrapped his whole body in it, so there was no clue.
Lu Yi looked at Lin Feng and sneered in his heart.
Lin Feng is done today.
A lifetime of fame will be ruined by greed for money.
Many people have different thoughts. The only thing everyone has in common is that their eyes are focused on Lin Feng, with curiosity in their eyes.
Lin Feng raised his hand and pressed down, all sounds disappeared, and everyone who came to watch stopped talking. Lin Feng took a deep breath, and with his true energy flowing, he said: "My Lin family's clothing store is opening today. Thank you for coming to support me. Lin is very grateful."
The sound is thick and comes out clearly.
Even this sound reached everyone's ears more clearly, without appearing abrupt or harsh.
Many warriors present changed their colors slightly.
From this point, we can see Lin Feng's strength.
Lin Feng ignored those who were talking and continued: "Today my Lin family's shop is opening. I rely on His Majesty's kindness to give me a Lin family plaque to commend the quality of my Lin family's down jackets. Now, unveil the plaque given by His Majesty."
Wow! !
Countless people were in an uproar on the street.
Lin Feng is too simple.
When the Lin family was engaged in business, the emperor personally gave them plaques and inscribed them personally. Who could have this kind of treatment?
Lin Feng is the only one in Da Qin.
Many noble disciples and people from big families looked at Lin Feng with envy in their eyes. If they could have the emperor value Lin Feng as much as they did, they would be able to achieve success in everything they do.
Lin Feng said no more and nodded towards Bai Yuyao.
Bai Yuyao stretched out her hand and pulled the hanging red rope with a little force. In an instant, all the red silk covering the plaque fell down.
Number one in the world!
Four powerful characters jumped out, and there was the emperor's signature in the bottom corner, including the time.
boom! ! !
The streets were even more excited.
Countless people were shocked.
Even these four words, the plaque awarded by the emperor as the best in the world, further highlight the quality of the down jacket. The emperor's reliance on Lin Feng and his regard for the Lin family's clothing store were unparalleled.
When Lu Yi saw this scene, his cheeks twitched, his eyes turned red, and he secretly hated it.
The emperor is too partial.
He is the emperor's brother-in-law, and he and the emperor are relatives, and they have been friends for decades. The emperor did not help him, but instead sided with Lin Feng and ordered him to shut up and reflect on his mistakes. So much so that the emperor supported Lin Feng in every possible way, and now he has the title "No. 1 in the world".
So unfair.
There was resentment in Lu Yi's eyes, and after he thought about it, he sneered in his heart. The higher the emperor praised Lin Feng, the harder Lin Feng would fall when down jackets started to be sold. Lin Feng's loss of face also proved that the emperor had poor vision.
When the time comes, let's see how much the emperor still relies on Lin Feng.
When Lu Yi thought of this, he felt relaxed and full of expectations. He was just watching the fun.
Let’s see how Lin Feng ends up.
Lin Feng waited for the discussion to subside a little, and continued: "Many people are curious about the down jackets sold in Lin's store today? You will know after you go in. There is no discount for buying one piece of clothing, and 99 for two pieces of clothing. 15% off three pieces of clothing."
"Everything, you can choose and buy by yourself."
"I won't say much about the advantages of my Lin family's down jacket, lest anyone say I'm bragging."
"Everything is yours to judge."
"No more words, please!"
Lin Feng took a step back and gave way to the road. As Lin Feng retreated, countless people entered. Because the hall is spacious enough, even if there are hundreds of people on the street, they can still be accommodated when they pour into the hall.
As a large number of people entered, attendants began to stand guard at the gate.
This is something that must be watched.
When the follow-up operations are on track and the number of people coming to the store to buy is reduced and there are not as many people as today's opening, and it is easy to identify, there will be no need for people to keep an eye on it. On this occasion today, there are so many people coming and going, and the flow of people is too large, so someone must keep an eye on it.
Otherwise, it is easy to steal clothes.
After Lin Feng finished his work, he temporarily left with Bai Yuyao and handed it over to the salesperson in the shop.
Anyway, every process has been trained.
Everything, no problem.
Lu Yi was also in the crowd. Because there were so many people, he would not be found in the crowd at all. He came to the shelves and saw the clothes hanging on the shelves. He looked a little strange when he saw these robes.
Is this made of duck feathers?
It has no taste.
how could this be?
Lu Yi looked at the salesperson on the side, called him over, and asked: "This piece of clothing is no different from ordinary clothing. You said this is a down jacket made of duck feathers. Why is it like this? Is it possible? , it’s a fraud.”
Lu Yi's eyes were full of doubt.
He seemed to have discovered a problem.
Many people around him also looked over with curious expressions on their faces.
The salesperson looked normal and explained: "The down jacket is filled with duck down. But this duck down is not duck feather in the traditional sense. It has gone through many processes to become the duck down it is today. Today's duck down is , it cannot be called duck feathers. Our down jackets are all made with precision."
The general introduction of down jackets is all the same.
This is the standard answer.
If you want to ask more, especially about the production of duck down, you won’t know. The sales staff don't know how to make it. Their task is just to sell it.
Lu Yi frowned after understanding.
This is a little different from what he imagined. Is this a down jacket? There seems to be no difference from normal clothes.
Lu Yi asked: "How much does a down jacket cost?"
"One piece of clothing costs one tael and five cents of silver. If you want to buy two pieces, you can enjoy a 10% discount. It only costs two taels and seven cents of silver."
There was a faint smile on the salesperson's face.
"What, one, two and a half silver to buy a piece of clothing, are you robbing money?"
Lu Yi was stunned.
A piece of clothing costs more than one or two and a half dollars, which is extremely expensive. According to Lu Yi, the material of this cloth is only average. The price is extremely expensive and ordinary people cannot afford it.
Many people around also looked over.
One or two and a half pieces of silver to buy a piece of clothing is not a small amount.
The salesperson patiently explained in a leisurely manner: "Mr., you will know if the down jacket is worth the price after you try it on. If it is not worth it, you can tell me before it's too late. In the coldest month of winter, the cold wind is howling and the sky is covered with snow. , it’s so cold that my bones are stiff. But it’s different when you put on this down jacket.”
"I'm going to give it a try."
Lu Yi snorted, took off his cloak and robe, and asked someone to put on a down jacket.
The down jacket is not heavy when worn on the body, but feels very light, and it is obviously not cold. Even for a moment, Lu Yi felt as if he was heating up inside his clothes, and his body felt warm, unlike before when he was wearing a large cloak and felt the coldness constantly attacking his body.
what happened?
Is this clothes made of duck feathers?
How could it be so warm?
It shouldn't be.
Lu Yi's face was full of shock, and at this moment he was extremely curious.
The salesperson had tried it on a long time ago and naturally knew the condition of the down jacket. He smiled and said, "Mr., this down jacket won't feel cold anymore when you wear it. Our Lin family's down jackets are all specially made and are extremely warm."
"If you don't believe it, you can just wear it and walk to the door, blowing the cold wind, and you won't be affected at all. Why does Your Majesty inscribe No. 1 in the world? It's because His Majesty also wears the Lin family's down jacket."
The salesman looked proud and said: "Our Lord Lin has given it to His Majesty in advance, so His Majesty inscribed it."
Wow! !
Many people around were surprised.
Unexpectedly, there is still this one.
Lu Yi hated Lin Feng in his heart. He would not cooperate. He snorted and said, "It's not particularly warm. I'll take a look."
He took off his down jacket.
However, I was a little reluctant to take it off because when I put on the down jacket, my whole body felt warm. After taking it off, I felt the cold wind coming, which was very uncomfortable. Even if he put on his clothes and cloak again, he still didn't feel the same as before.
People around are also trying them on.
Many people were talking.
Most people are surprised at how warm the down jacket is after trying it on. As the salesperson explained that this was a down jacket recognized by the emperor, countless people were excited. Although it was expensive, some people had already begun to buy it.
Instead of buying one piece, buy two or three pieces. Ordinary people are reluctant to spend money to buy. Many of the people who came to the problem were high-ranking officials, nobles, and business people. These people originally came to watch the fun, but after trying it, they couldn't let it go anymore.
So, it’s all about buying, buying, buying.
Lu Yi stood in the hall, listening to the discussions around him, his cheeks twitching slightly.
He wanted to see Lin Feng's joke, but he didn't expect that he would be slapped in the face in the end. Countless people bought the down jacket, and even he felt good about it from the bottom of his heart. Lu Yi was unhappy, so he left in a hurry and took a carriage back.
After the carriage had gone some distance, Lu Yi sighed and suddenly ordered: "Stop!"
The coachman stopped and stopped going.
The attendant sitting next to the coachman asked: "Master, what are your orders?"
Lu Yi ordered: "Go back to the Lin family's shop now and buy three down jackets. They will be of great use to me."
"knew."
He left quickly.
Lu Yi snorted, but thought about it in his heart. The reason why he bought it was not because Lin Feng's down jacket was so good, but because it could bring some warmth to his wife, and it wasn't because he wanted to wear it.
Lu Yi's people went to buy it, but it didn't cause any disturbance, and more and more people bought it. Because the matter of down jackets has been highly discussed, and countless people have discussed it. In addition, sales started today, and the news spread by word of mouth, and more and more people knew about it.
As a result, the business of selling down jackets in Lin's shop continued.
There is an endless stream of people coming and going.
At noon, Lin Feng and Bai Yuyao were still waiting for news in the backyard of the shop. At this time, the two of them had simply eaten.
The shopkeeper in charge of the store entered with an excited expression and reported: "Master Marquis, Madam, our store sold as many as 1,289 down jackets this morning. At noon, business was still going on. "
"In addition, there are many businessmen who come to inquire and hope to buy in bulk. I told them that the supply of goods is limited and they can only place orders now. I have already counted the number of people who are interested in ordering, and it is about 10,000 pieces."
"Our Lin family's down jackets are completely popular. It is expected that business will be better in the afternoon."
Bai Yuyao became excited.
This is a good thing.
Bai Yuyao had been preparing for it before, and even Bai Yuyao was a little worried when it opened in the morning.
Now, I finally feel at ease.
Lin Feng ordered: "Pass the word, everyone who participated today will be rewarded with one tael of silver. This is a separate additional reward."
"Thank you, Lord Marquis."
Zhong Shan was excited.
One tael of silver is not a small amount.
For these sellers, one tael of silver can buy a lot of food and supplies.
After Zhong Shan left, Lin Feng said with a smile: "Yuyao, the business of the down jacket shop is slowly getting back on track. You don't have to worry too much. In addition, in order to operate on a large scale, shops can be located in the east, south, west and north of Xianyang City. Shops have been opened in the four cities. However, in the areas outside Xianyang City, and even in other countries, there is no need to arrange for people to go to the official position. They only need to sell wholesale. Our down jackets cannot be imitated in a short period of time."
"I understand."
Bai Yuyao nodded in reply.
She was extremely happy. This time, the Lin family made another profit with the help of down jackets.
Lin Feng stopped staying and went directly back to his hometown. Bai Yuyao did not leave for the time being. She still had to keep an eye on the shop to ensure there were no loopholes.
