"Carriage? Show me?"
Liao Xifan grabbed the newspaper and quickly looked at the place where the man named Zhang just pointed. After a moment, he excitedly clapped his thigh and shouted:
"Haha! It's this carriage! It's this carriage! I didn't expect that after such a long time, it finally started selling! No! Brother Zhang, you eat slowly here, Liao has to go to the Qiqi Pavilion to queue up now!"
"Hey, hey! Brother Liao, wait a minute! Why do you still want to buy that carriage after listening to your advice?"
The middle-aged man named Zhang stretched out his hand and grabbed him, saying in disbelief.
In his opinion, selling a carriage for 500 or 600 guan is considered outrageous. However, this time Qiquge actually wants to sell it for 999 guan, which is close to 1,000 guan. This is not because of being crazy about money. Yet? Could it be that the carriage was made of gold?
But what made him even more unexpected was that Liao Xifan actually wanted to buy such an expensive carriage, and he seemed to be afraid of not being able to get it. This made him doubt his life. Could it be that he hadn't seen each other for a few days? Is this friend so rich? Isn’t a thousand guan considered money?
"That's right! If you can't buy such a good carriage, you will regret it for the rest of your life!"
Liao Xifan said eagerly.
"But this carriage actually sells for 999 coins. Brother Liao, don't you think it's expensive?"
"Hey! Brother Wei has no time to explain to you now. Jingyang, if you trust Brother Wei, come with me to Qiqi Pavilion now. You will know if it is worth the money!"
Liao Xifan said hastily, quickly took out a few copper coins, threw them on the table, and said: "Shopkeeper, the money is here! Jingyang, leave quickly!"
"Oh~oh!"
Zhang Jingyang came to his senses and ran out with Liao Xifan regardless, got on the carriage that Liao Xifan had taken in the morning, and hurried to Qiquge Pavilion in Dongshi.
………………………
"Brother Liao, from the look of you, it seems that you have seen the carriage launched by Qiqi Pavilion before!"
On the carriage.
Zhang Jingyang thought about it seriously and suddenly asked.
"Well, I have indeed seen it! When this carriage appeared for the first time, Liao happened to be lucky enough to see it. At that time, Lord Li was the first to use this carriage. Later, I happened to meet him when I passed by the Duke's Mansion. Several times, the Lord has used this carriage to return home. This kind of carriage looks huge from the outside, but it is not bulky. A horse can pull it very easily, and it walks very smoothly!"
"Liao has been coveting this kind of carriage for a long time. After asking around, he could not find a place selling this kind of carriage. Moreover, it is said that in the entire Tang Dynasty, there are only Lord Li, His Highness the Crown Prince, His Highness the King of Wei, Lu Guogong, and Yi Guo. Gong, General Yuchi, and General Niu have this kind of carriage. Haha! I didn’t expect that after waiting for so long, I finally got it. If I don’t hurry up and buy it, won’t Liao have to regret it for the rest of his life?”
Zhang Jingyang suddenly understood after hearing this, but he still had some doubts, so he asked: "Brother Liao, if this carriage is so expensive, there must be very few people buying it! You don't have to be so anxious!"
"Ha~! Jingyang, if you think about it carefully, you won't say that!"
Liao Xifan shook his head, looked out the window anxiously, and said, "Nearly a month has passed since Liao first saw this kind of carriage until Qiqi Pavilion started selling it. What does this mean? It shows that this kind of carriage is very difficult to make, so I’m not surprised that the carriage is now so expensive!”
"Also, in the past month, whenever Lord Li goes out, he will definitely ride this kind of carriage. In the entire Tang Dynasty, if the person who knows how to enjoy the most, in Liao's opinion, it must be Lord Li! He is a very popular person among the elderly. If you love this kind of carriage so much, there is no doubt about its excellence!"
"For a carriage that is so superior and difficult to mass-produce, if Liao doesn't rush to grab it, I'm afraid he won't be able to grab it! After all, there are many people in Chang'an City who can get the nine hundred and ninety-nine yuan, and they are very discerning. There are even more people!”
I guess Li Zexuan himself never thought that he would be treated as an "old man" by successful wealthy businessmen like Liao Xifan. However, judging from the several businesses Li Zexuan did in Chang'an City, they were all of the kind with extremely high returns, and he did have Give these wealthy businessmen the qualifications to be "role models"!
After hearing this, Zhang Jingyang's eyebrows couldn't help but twitch. He nodded slowly and said in a deep voice: "Thank you, Brother Liao, for the advice. After hearing what you said, I am very curious about this carriage! I must have a good look at it later!"
"You know what you're doing, don't try to snatch it from me!"
Liao Xifan suddenly looked wary.
Zhang Jingyang was speechless. The friendship between friends was not as good as a carriage! It’s really heartbreaking~!
……………………
On the other side, East Market.
Qiqu Culture and Qiqu Pavilion, which had been quiet for a long time, became popular again today.
These two stores were previously hot topics in Chang'an City. This time, after being promoted by the "Datang Daily", it was like throwing a cigarette butt into a barrel of explosives, and the effect of gathering popularity exploded.
Before the opening time, there were already queues in front of the two stores. There were relatively few people in front of Qiquge. After all, carriages were still considered luxuries for the people of the Tang Dynasty, and Qiquge On the cultural side, it was absolutely packed with people, and there were several long queues.
People in the queue gathered together in twos and threes, pointing at the advertisements in the newspapers and talking to each other. It was very lively for a while!
"Haha! It's okay, it's okay! Fortunately, we came not too late, and we have membership cards, so we can queue in the member aisle! In this way, the carriage later will definitely include Liao's one!"
In front of the Qiqu Pavilion, Liao Xifan and Zhang Jingyang were at the front of the queue and said happily.
There were only two people in front of him. Logically speaking, they would definitely be able to buy the first batch of carriages. It's a good thing that there are no traffic lights or traffic jams in this era, otherwise the two of them would be absolutely dead now!
Although there are not as many people coming to buy carriages as there are people buying "Datang Dictionary", but a cursory glance shows that there are at least seventy or eighty people queuing up to buy carriages at Qiquge. Chang'an City has always been full of rich people. There is no shortage of people with vision.
"Brother Liao, if I read it correctly just now, what you took out was an orange membership card!"
Zhang Jingyang said with a shocked look on his face.
"That's right! If we didn't have a membership card, we would still be queuing over there!"
Liao Xifan didn't feel anything was wrong at all, and he answered casually.
"But...but...but one card requires one hundred strings. Isn't it a bit expensive?"
"It's not expensive! It's a total bargain for us! Think about it, an orange membership card only costs a hundred dollars, but with this card, you can go through the membership channel to save time, and buy it at Qiquge All products can be discounted by 30%. If we buy a carriage this time, we can save nearly 300 yuan. Do you think this membership card is worth it? Is it expensive?"
Liao Xifan analyzed slowly.
