"Don't worry about this yet!"
Bi Ziyan glanced at the curious crowd: "If you have no objections to the rules of the mutual market, then let's take a look at the plan of the mutual market before talking about the auction."
After finishing speaking, Bi Ziyan waved his hand, and a sergeant walked into the scene carrying a three-meter-long and two-meter-high wooden board. After careful counting, he found that there were more than a hundred pieces, and then placed it among the crowd. middle.
Only then did everyone realize that it was a design drawing of the mutual market.
Staring at the drawings, everyone's eyes were filled with shock, thought and surprise.
"Everyone, these are the first three phases of Ningyuan Mutual Market's planning, and the middle one is the first phase.
In a moment, my colleagues will tell you about some of the special features, and at the same time, some other planning concepts will be distributed to you.
Everyone, please read it first. If you don’t understand anything, please ask the officials responsible for explaining. We will give you an hour. "
"The entire mutual market is planned for five phases. All the shops together have 5,000 shops. The first phase, which is the most central one, and the area now being flattened, has a total of 600 shops.
The goods of each category are gathered together. What is a category is the category of goods, a simple product category.
The major categories include antiques, calligraphy and paintings, daily necessities, furs, medicinal materials... Each major category is divided into several small categories. "
…
The officials explained the plan for the mutual market, and the merchants listened and looked at the contents on the papers in their hands to confirm each other.
"Who planned this? It's so bold!"
"The narrowest streets are 20 meters wide, and the central avenue is almost 50 meters wide. This is amazing."
"The floors are all paved with blue bricks, which is a luxury, but I'm so excited when I think about it. I no longer have to put my feet in water and mud on rainy days!"
"The most important thing is that the design of this drainage channel is so ingenious. If it can be fully realized, even if it rains heavily for three days and three nights, there will be no need to worry about being flooded, and the goods will be safe!"
"The fire-proof design is also for safety. Water and fire are insensitive. This is taken into consideration, which is really good!"
"As long as it is built according to the diagram, after being taken out by the caravan, this place will be a landscape, and there will definitely be a lot of tourists."
"The style of mutual shopping is great, but this plan is a bit hard to understand. All categories of shops are planned together. Will this cause conflicts? After all, colleagues are enemies!"
“Isn’t this exactly what the saying goes, enemies never get together, hahaha!”
"I agree with this. If you open a rouge and gouache shop, and then a shop selling cured salted fish opens next door, just tell me, does the diaphragm respond to the diaphragm?"
"But the imperial court has a purpose in doing this. It's a comparison of goods. What are they comparing? Services, quality of goods, prices, etc. With so many merchants together, it's difficult not to do these things well.
Otherwise, you will have no business. This is the purpose of the court's plan! "
"Actually, you don't have to worry about enemies meeting. Once the mutual market is stable, each company will have a stable caravan for cooperation. As for the salesmen, brokers, tourists and people within a hundred miles nearby, it all depends on you. Able."
"That's right. We're all on the same street. If customers don't buy your stuff, then you have to reflect on what you're not doing well enough, instead of thinking too much about your peers."
…
Drainage channels, green belts, rest benches, trash cans, cleaners... and other new terms made everyone curious.
The businessmen whispered excitedly and asked the official responsible for the explanation a few questions from time to time.
This discussion lasted for nearly half an hour, and my confidence increased greatly.
clang……
Amid everyone's excitement, a crisp bell rang. The businessmen woke up from their excitement and quickly returned to their seats, quietly looking at Bi Ziyan on the stage.
"It's early noon now, and the investment conference has already started for an hour and a half. You must be tired, and it's just lunch time.
Rest for an hour. If you want to go back to the city to have a meal, you can also wait here.
Tea, fruits, and pastries are prepared for you around the venue. You can use them as you like, but don't waste them!
It started again in the afternoon, outside the first carving auction shop. After the auction was completed, there were two major pieces of news to be announced.
In addition, this is the school grounds of the Beijing Camp. Please do not wander around or spy, otherwise you will be arrested as enemy spies.
It doesn't matter if you miss the store's auction, but if you go to jail, you will lose your skin even if you don't die.
Especially now when you are preparing to attack the Japanese pirates, you should take care of yourself and disperse. "
Everyone tensed up, smiled, and dispersed in small groups.
But without exception, they all did not leave the capital camp and headed towards the surrounding tea area.
Looking at what the court had prepared, the businessmen were a little surprised at first, and then overjoyed. It was so considerate.
Preserved fruits: sugar bergamot, honeyed kumquat, fig, tangerine cake, golden kumquat...
Preserved fruits: apple preserves, pear preserves, peach preserves, sand fruit preserves, jujube preserves, fragrant fruit preserves
Pastries: dragon beard cake, pineapple cake, hawthorn cake, donkey roll, pine nut and lily cake, jujube paste cake, osmanthus cake, mung bean cake...
Steamed buns, steamed buns, roasted donkey meat, etc.
They are available in every province, with a wide variety of dishes that are good for appetizing and digesting.
Although these businessmen are rich, they are all wandering people. They have suffered hardships that ordinary people have never experienced. They can fill their stomachs by drinking cold water. How can they care about these, let alone these rich things.
Half an hour later, when everyone had finished eating and was about to walk away to eat, they discovered that there were about a hundred sergeants walking out in front of the platform carrying tables one after another, followed by sergeants carrying boxes.
"What are you doing? Are you preparing for the afternoon auction?"
"Probably not. Most of the auctions in some pawn shops are for one table and one gong. The highest bidder gets it. Where can you find these things!"
"Stop guessing, just go and see and you will know!"
When everyone arrived, they discovered that the sergeants were taking out items one by one from boxes, including but not limited to antiques, jade, jewelry, calligraphy and paintings, etc.
Everyone watching this scene was very curious. They were all knowledgeable people. It cannot be said that these are all top-notch, but they are definitely high-quality.
Moreover, many jade articles can be seen at a glance as having been worn for a long time, and many of them are already shiny.
Without waiting for anyone to ask, an official said loudly: "Everyone, there is still nearly an hour before the opening ceremony in the afternoon. If you have nothing to do, I will have nothing to do. Lord Shangshu will ask my subordinates to find some fun for you."
These things have been appraised by some antique masters. They are all genuine and have been estimated in value. If you like them, you may wish to buy them.
The Chinese New Year is coming soon, so it’s not a waste of time to come to the capital to bring some gifts to your family!
You can try it out and take a look, but if it breaks, you will have to pay the original price. Don’t worry, I won’t falsely accuse you! "
Everyone's breathing suddenly stagnated, and their eyes were full of surprise. They really didn't expect that the imperial court would play such a trick.
But then he realized that these jades, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, etc. should have been obtained by the imperial court after confiscating the property.
It is estimated that these gadgets can be piled up like a mountain in the warehouse of the Ministry of Finance, and there are businessmen on site. They can throw away a hundred and eighteen taels without blinking an eye.
I have to say that some officials in the Ministry of Revenue are more flexible.
