June has just entered, and as the temperature begins to get warmer, a strange thing begins to be hotly speculated in the upper circles of the Jingjiu Dynasty.
air conditioner? Why is this name so strange?
Hey, it’s a new gadget. The name must be strange, but it’s really useful. Have you tried it to keep cool in summer and late autumn?
Especially for the elderly at home, they can't get wind and have headaches due to too much wind. With this air conditioner, it's easy and they can sleep soundly at night.
If you like exquisite sculptures, choose those made of precious wood, jade or gold. If you like low-key and simple, choose standing cabinets, hanging windows, or suspended ceilings. Anyway, there is always one that suits you.
It's not without its shortcomings. One is that the temperature control range is not large enough. Some large households have to put three or four in the main hall to achieve the best effect. Another disadvantage is that it is quite expensive, as it consumes pan-spiritual stones, and once it is turned on, it will continue to be consumed until it is turned off. A standard-sized animist stone can only be used for five days before being consumed.
Ordinary people can't afford it. The lowest price of an air conditioner starts at more than 10,000 yuan, and the most expensive one is said to cost more than 100,000 yuan. Of course, the one that costs over 100,000 yuan is made of gold, which is very valuable in itself, and the effect of the air conditioner is naturally extremely expensive.
Expensive things often mean "good things." And good things are what the "upper class" likes to pursue most. Even though money and food are being tightened across the country, no matter how tight it is, it can't affect people with huge wealth. There are many such people in the Jingjiu Dynasty.
The appearance of air conditioning also made a person who should have fallen into the mud jump out again.
Yu Wenhe, a once famous big businessman, came back from the desperate situation not long ago as quickly as if he came back from the dead, and he has great intentions of making a comeback.
Just in the Imperial City, Yu Wenhe invited some high-ranking and red-walled disciples through money to participate in a so-called exhibition to recommend his own air conditioners. After that, he sold 700,000 silver worth of goods in one day, including Mid- to high-end air conditioners account for 90%. Even gold air conditioners were sold out.
As for pan-spiritual stones, who doesn’t have some of these? Although the quantity is not too large, there are still a few hundred. Just buy some on the black market while using it. Who doesn't have some reliable channels?
It's just that the money came in too fast and too fiercely, plus Yu Wenhe's previous record of being forced into despair, many people became interested.
Those who are more direct will come to ask for a share, and they will not give it for free, more than ten or two hundred thousand taels, but they will ask for half of the share if they ask for it. They are obviously killing you like a pig. Do you want to give it to them?
The more roundabout way is to buy some low-end air conditioners and take them apart to figure it out yourself. If you can do it, there’s no reason why others can’t do it, right? How about you sell it for 10,000 yuan and I sell it for 9,000 yuan?
The first idea was put into action directly, but Yu Wenhe directly rejected it. He wanted to use force to get angry, but Yu Wenhe smiled and said: "This is Mr. Shen's business of Xuanqing Wei."
Xuan Qingwei? These three words extinguished at least 40% of the other party's anger. After thinking about it again, Master Shen? Which Lord Shen? Could it be the evil star named Shen from Fengli City? !
The name Shen Hao was not an unpopular name in the upper class of the imperial city. Almost all the high-ranking red-walled people had told their family members not to mess with him. They don't care about ordinary people at the deputy 1,000 household level, and they don't even bother to care about big-ass petty officials. But this Shen Hao is evil, and he obviously has an unusual status in the Xuanqing Guard. He is a good knife in Pang Ban's hand. It is easy to draw blood when he gets close, so it is better to avoid it.
Look at the Qin family in the past, look at the Wen family, and then look at those unlucky people in Jingxi who lost their heads. Who can escape the life of this surnamed Shen?
What's more, some people have long been saying that the business in the hands of this man surnamed Shen may not be simple. The Wuliangye that is making a fuss now is said to be this business surnamed Shen. The seventh prince once wanted to intervene but was blocked, and then there was Wuliangye. This business seems to belong to Shen, but in fact it is said that Xuan Qingwei is running it.
Regardless of whether it is true or not, many people would rather believe it than believe it.
Is it the same this time? It seems that Shen is handling the air-conditioning business, but is it actually Xuan Qingwei's business behind the scenes?
So everyone with some brains retreated. Want to take advantage of Xuan Qingwei? I'm afraid that I have to fill my life to get in. I'm afraid.
Those who were planning to dismantle the air conditioner and imitate it were soon dumbfounded. The formation is familiar and not difficult. It is just a simple formation for converting hot and cold, but any monk who has learned the engraving formation can create a similar one. However, there is also a core small formation in the magic circle. The lines inside are complicated and difficult to understand, and it will self-destruct after being taken apart. It cannot be copied by ordinary means.
This is not the end. After the hot and cold conversion circle was created, I discovered that the comfortable hot and cold range could not be accurately controlled at all. Either the meat was cooked, or water was poured into it to turn it into ice... What a joke!
As for Yuwen He, who was at the center of the whirlpool, he looked like he had regained his second youth. He was ready to hang himself not long ago, but now he has not only made a comeback, but also has a strong thigh to hold him.
Yu Wenhe had no idea that just because he was helped by that black market brother Feilong to pay off his debts and then worked for him, he would end up with such an opportunity. It was really unpredictable!
However, Yu Wenhe also understood his position, especially last night. Brother Feilong led him to a secret village outside the city and met two people. One should be from Xuanqing Wei with the surname Wang, and the other was Zeng You. I met Liu Hengyi, the owner of a horse and carriage dealer, who I had met once.
"You guys chat, I'll go out and get some fresh air." As soon as he entered the room, after making the introduction, Feilong hurriedly ran away, obviously not wanting to hear what happened next, which made Yu Wenhe feel worried.
After leaving an hour later, Yu Wenhe set off a huge wave in his heart that could not calm down for a long time. He also understood why Feilong would hide away like a plague, because the conversation that followed turned out to be top secret in Xuanqing Guard, and Yu Wenhe is now He was also forced to participate in this top secret.
Air conditioners are not just sold and finished. They need to be installed and debugged. Some of the scales on the formations may even be changed depending on the region where they are used. and subsequent maintenance and upkeep. Some discerning people will also customize special air conditioners, so they need to go in to measure the dimensions and so on. These require regular people to operate.
Now these people need to select some from Xuan Qingwei's spies, which means that the sale of air conditioners will be linked to Xuan Qingwei's shady things.
Not only that, Yu Wenhe also learned about a strange place from Liu Hengyi's mouth: the City of Fu Shi.
Moreover, the first place where these Xuanqing Guard's spies are now involved is in this city of futile death. What Yu Wenhe had to do when he returned was to build an air conditioner into the city of Fusei through the route of Hengshun's carriages and horses, and by the way, he would bring Xuan Qingwei's spies in as expected.
