The county town is very lively.
There is no other reason than the opening of Xiping Village Buzhuang.
Zhao Ping left the task of defeating Tongjia Clothing Village in Wenhui's hands. Wenhui was extremely cautious and formulated a series of plans in detail.
The first is publicity.
With the movable type printing technology, Wenhui sent people to post notices in the county every day.
On it is written the grand opening bonus event of Xiping Village Cloth Village.
The original price of cloth is 500 Wen per piece, which is 400 Wen per piece at 20% off.
Group purchase of ten horses, discount of 200 yuan.
Each piece of cloth dropped to 380 cents.
Group purchase of twenty horses will get more discounts.
By analogy, as long as you buy enough cloth at one time, the price can be cheaper again and again.
Of course, there is also a reserve price.
Three hundred texts.
This is the lowest price Wenhui has set for herself.
Putting aside the transportation, the wages paid to the workers, plus the delivery service, the acacia wine soap given away by lottery and other costs, the cost is 300 cash, and a piece of cloth spun in Xiping Village can still earn 50 cash.
Won't lose money.
The requirements for the lottery are much higher.
You need to spend fifty taels of silver to buy cloth at the Xiping Village Cloth Shop and you can draw it once.
In other words, only those who purchase more than one hundred pieces of cloth are eligible for the lottery.
The first prize is a bottle of acacia wine.
A pound of it is worth a thousand taels of silver.
The second prize, a piece of soap, is worth five hundred taels of silver.
The third prize is a pound of frosted sugar, worth three hundred taels of silver.
The fourth prize, ten pieces of linen, worth five taels of silver.
The lucky prizes are stuffed animals, candies and other worthless things.
There are no empty prizes.
Secondly, stock up.
The market price of linen cloth is six hundred cents per piece. This is set by Tongbai, the owner of the largest cloth shop in Donghai County, and no cloth shop dares to disobey.
The cloth shop in Xiping Village is priced at 500 yuan, so it will definitely be robbed.
As for Tongbai's price reduction, Wen Hui also inquired about this in advance.
Tong Bai said he was the head of the Tong family in Donghai County, but he was actually the shopkeeper.
To put it more seriously, Tongbai is the money-making tool of the Liu family.
Tongbai has to hand over 80% of the money he earns, so he can only earn two levels.
Taking Xiping Village as an example, the total cost is two hundred and fifty cents.
Selling 600 coins, the net profit was 350 coins, 80% of which was 280 coins, leaving only 70 coins for the Tong family.
Even if the Tong family doesn't make a penny, the price of the cloth must be set at five hundred and thirty penny.
It is a full thirty cents higher than that of Buzhuang in Xiping Village.
Including the grand opening bonus, it was a full one hundred and thirty yuan.
There are also group buying, lottery and other activities.
Any fool knows how to choose.
What's more, no one's money comes from strong winds.
Therefore, Xiping Village Cloth Shop has no worries about selling cloth.
Must stock up in advance.
Fortunately, two hundred new textile machines in Xipingcun Textile Factory are running day and night, and each machine can spin ten pieces of cloth a day and night.
Two hundred machines can weave two thousand pieces of cloth in one day and one night.
After giving 20,000 horses to the Tian family, Xiping Village still saved several thousand horses.
Now Donghai County has stored more than 10,000 pieces of cloth, and the amount of goods stored should be enough to fill up the Tong family.
Moreover, Xiping Village is still continuously transporting goods to the county.
The last step is personnel recruitment and training.
As early as the establishment of the textile factory, Wenhui thought about opening a shop and was already making preparations for it.
The accounting team was led by Qian Liu and five apprentices were recruited.
They all learned the Arabic numbers 0, 1, 2, 3, etc. No, this place was renamed by Zhao Ping and called Xiping Village numbers.
When choosing the name, Zhao Ping also thought about this issue.
How about commemorating the Arabs in their previous lives?
But he knew the origin of these numbers. They were invented by ancient Indians. They were spread through the Arabs and were mistakenly thought to be invented by Arabs, so they were called Arabic numerals.
Is there any India in the David Dynasty today? Is there any Arabia? Zhao Ping didn't know.
However, these numbers came from Xiping Village, so it is reasonable to call them Xiping Village numbers.
Under Zhao Ping's training, all six of them were able to perform simple operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.
Of course, the most important thing is addition, subtraction and multiplication.
Division is almost never used in the cashier area.
Qian Liu's performance was the most outstanding. He was very proficient in vertical learning and was already comparable to a primary school graduate.
The other five apprentices can't do it yet, but they have no problem handling the cash register.
Then there is the salesperson.
There is no skill in this. After all, people in the Dawei Dynasty are very pragmatic and pursue a low price.
As long as the price is low enough, even a fool can sell the cloth.
Of course, in order to increase customer satisfaction, Wenhui still selected more than a dozen people who were shrewd, good at observing people's words and eloquent to act as salespeople.
Then there are the delivery people.
The factory building is completed, and now there are only schools and hospitals, which do not need so many people.
Wenhui picked some men in fine clothes who had long legs, walked fast, and were strong.
That's it.
Even before it opened, it had already spread all over the city.
There is almost no one in the entire Donghai County, and even in the surrounding counties and villages, who does not know that Xiping Village Buzhuang is doing a grand opening event.
Big families, wealthy households, officials, and others who could afford it came over early and planned to grab some.
At such a price, you'll make a profit if you grab it.
If you start late, the cloth will be robbed, and if you want to buy it again, it may be at the original price.
If you don’t know that there is a low price, no one will care.
Now that I have it, if I spend 600 yuan to buy it, I always feel like I have been cheated.
Even if you don't need it right now, buy it first and save it, maybe you will need it someday.
As for those who can't afford it, they also want to come over and join in the fun.
Anyway, the autumn harvest was over, and there was nothing else to do except digging wild vegetables and chopping firewood.
You can’t dig every day, so just chop.
Gotta take a break.
Then I was attracted by the publicity of Xiping Village Buzhuang.
Once you have seen something, you can brag about it when you get home, attracting looks of admiration or envy one after another, acting as Bai Xiaosheng.
So there were a lot of people, a lot of people.
There are queues in all directions from Buzhuang Gate of Xiping Village, and the queue can reach the end of the street.
Zhao Ping did not expect this to be the case.
Just like the more famous scenic spots during the Golden Week of Tourism in previous lives, if you look around, they are all filled with heads.
Take a photo, it’s all about the back of the head.
"Is this a shop?"
Peng Yue, who was standing next to Zhao Ping, looked at the black heads and was shocked, "This is more lively than the Chinese New Year."
"Mr. Zhao, you are going to get rich again."
"How do you get rich?"
Zhao Ping smiled bitterly and said, "I am just making a profit at a loss."
"Every time I sell a piece of cloth, I have to pay a lot of money."
"Why bother?"
Peng Yue was puzzled, "Since you know you're losing money, why are you still doing this business?"
"Destroy the Tong family cloth shop."
Zhao Ping said bluntly: "They have already taken action against me. If I don't fight back, won't I be looked down upon by others?"
"Can this defeat the Tong family?"
Peng Yue kept shaking his head, "The Tong family is supported by the Minister of Hubu, how can you outlast the current Minister of Hubu?"
"Just watch."
Zhao Ping smiled but didn't answer.
It's definitely too much money to spend with the Minister of the Ministry of Finance.
But Donghai County is two thousand miles away from the capital. By the time the news reaches the ears of the Minister of Household Affairs, I am afraid that the Tong family will have been overthrown by him.
What's more, Tongbai is just a money-making tool for the Minister of Revenue.
Would he fight with him to the death for such a person?
"Look, I can't watch it anymore."
Peng Yue said bitterly: "The more people gather, the more soldiers there are to maintain order. I have to dispatch officers and soldiers."
"Otherwise, if something unexpected happens, it won't be good for you or me."
Zhao Ping nodded.
With a large number of people, trouble is easy to occur. Sending more officers and soldiers can also prevent one or two things.
"Why are there so many people here?"
As soon as he entered the city, Liu Wenhao was stunned by the scene in front of him.
"Isn't today the Chinese New Year?"
"Why are there so many people in the county town?"
"This young master should be from out of town, right? I don't know the major events that have happened in our county in the past few days."
The guard guarding the city said with a smile.
The bandits were taken care of and their lives became much easier.
Guarding the city gate every day is to collect some entry fees from merchants coming and going.
Although they have to pay the city entry fee, the county magistrate will also take out part of the reward to them based on the amount of money collected every day.
Tens of thousands of people entered the city today and collected a lot of copper coins.
It’s not a problem to go get a couple of drinks in the evening.
The guard was in a good mood and explained to Liu Wenhao the reason for the bustle in the county.
"What?"
Liu Wenhao was shocked again.
"Just because Zhao Ping opened a shop selling clothes, can it cause such a big fuss?"
"How did he do it?"
"It's very simple."
"As long as the price is cheap, it will attract people," the guard explained.
"Furthermore, Xiping Village Cloth Village also held a lottery, and the first prize was acacia wine worth a thousand taels."
"What is the lottery?"
Liu Wenhao was puzzled.
"This subordinate doesn't know either."
The lottery touched the guard's blind spot, so he had to suggest: "This young master should go and take a look himself."
"But I'm afraid I won't be able to see it today. The queue is too long and it all reaches the city gate."
"I'm afraid it will be three days later when it's your turn."
"Hmph! Will this young master know how to line up?"
Liu Wenhao snorted coldly and ordered: "Liu Jia, head forward to clear the way."
