Chapter 28 Mall Exhibition
The more Tom looked at it, the more he thought about settling down in this city, but he could only think about it. He was still a little unwilling to let him give up his efforts until now.
He also wanted to go to the next level. Although life here is like a dream, it was not suitable for his personality. Tom also wanted to become a superior person.
"Oh~!" Tom shook his head, no longer thinking about this, he browsed Guihua City roughly, returned to the hotel, and prepared for the next textile exhibition prepared by Xia Guo.
After a few days of inquiry, Tom learned that the exhibition was held in the Central Trade Plaza, and the time was three days later. According to the calendar of Xia Kingdom, it was the fifth day of the fifth month of the ninth year of the Apocalypse!
After staying in Guihua City for so many days, Tom felt more and more that this city and the outside world were two worlds.
The outside world was in vain because of the war, and the civilians did not live a stable life for a day. They were all worried that the chaos would come that day, causing their families to be destroyed.
In this city built by the Xia Kingdom, the civilians lived comforting life, and the smiles that often appeared on their faces made him feel that they were just two worlds.
Inside the city wall is the paradise of time, outside the city wall is the chaos everywhere. Isn’t it surprising that so many people are willing to live here?
Now Tom has also figured out the conditions for settlement. The lean man in the money house told him that he needed to apply, he also needed to have a skill, and those without a skill must have a certain amount of wealth.
In the words of the Xia people, this city is not a good hall, but a commercial city. Once a beggar is discovered, he will be expelled from the city.
After some in-depth understanding, Tom found that although this place is not as beautiful as the legendary and not as friendly, as long as you work hard, you can still live in this city even if you wash a dish.
Tom was very understanding of this. After all, there will be no pie falling from the sky. If people don’t work hard, they will blame others for being disgusted.
Three days later, with a sound of bells and drums, the sky exploded a few loud noises, as if the gods were angry, and as if they were clearing the thunderbolt.
Amid a fire of cannons, the first textile exhibition in Guihua City opened in the square in the middle of the city.
"There are so many people!" Tom got up early today just to stand in a good position.
Today's exhibition not only includes textile promotions from Xiaguo, but also provides a platform for other merchants to set up stalls here.
Because the stalls in Guihua City are limited, they use reservation methods to manage them. In order to take care of later merchants, more merchants can have an opportunity to display their products.
Therefore, one reservation can only be reserved for one day, and once it is found out that someone comes to make a reservation on his behalf, the opportunity to set up a stall in the next month will be cancelled.
The quota for stalls is queued for reservation, but the location on that day is on a first come first served basis, and scrambles are prohibited. If the scramble is caught, the two of them will lose the stall at the same time.
This is done for order and preventing people from quarreling or even fighting over a stall.
Therefore, every day businessmen line up to book stalls, and every day businessmen go to grab stalls before dawn.
As for those who violate the rules of the Naturalized City, they will be expelled from the city and will never be able to enter the city in a short period of time.
You should know that this city is full of business opportunities. For businessmen, losing a day is losing a lot of benefits.
The profit-seeking nature of merchants will not allow them to give up such great interests.
"Dear businessmen and friends who came to Guihua City, Xiaguo, today's textile exhibition began!" A Xiaguo man stood on the high platform in the middle of the square, holding an iron horn and shouted at the crowds under the stage, and at first glance, the crowd was roaring.
"Today, all the textiles sold in Xiaguo shops are sold at half price. If you spend 20 taels of summer coins, you will get a discount of 10% off." The man in Xiaguo exclaimed all the merchants near Gaotai. This is different from the information they arrived in advance, although this difference is a good thing for them.
"It turns out that it's not that ten gold coins will be half the price, but no matter how much it costs, it's half the price. Spending ten gold coins will be 40% off the original price." Tom squeezed in front of the crowd and heard what the man in Xia Kingdom said on the stage. After thinking about his capital, he also became happy with the merchants around him.
The man from Xia Kingdom on the stage was still continuing in Tom and the other language: "More than that, from now on, all textiles in Guihua City will be sold at 60% off the original price."
"Wow, that's so good?"
"Yes, will Xia Guo lose money if he does this?"
"Yes, haven't you noticed that the quality of the textiles sold in Xiaguo is getting better and better? Such a good product is estimated to cost more than this price elsewhere."
"What do you care about doing so much? It's their business for others, Xia Guo is willing to lose money. I'm going to take advantage of this opportunity to buy a few cars."...
When Tom listened to the conversation of the merchants around him, he couldn't help but think about why Xia Guo wanted to do such a loss-making business. Is there any benefit to doing this?
This idea was related to his other identity, which made Tom unable to help thinking from another perspective, but he thought for a long time but couldn't figure out what the purpose of Xia Guo doing.
Even if Tom wanted to break his head, he couldn't imagine that this was because the industrial upgrading of Xia Kingdom made these textiles unsold in Xia Kingdom.
The news that Tom had heard before was released by Xia Guo in advance, and he also sent invitations to the surrounding forces, so that the surrounding forces knew that Xia Guo was preparing to hold the exhibition.
The difference in news was also done by Xia Guo, who did this purpose to surprise the merchants present. This was not to please the merchants, but to allow the exhibition to sell more products.
After the man from Xia Kingdom on the stage said some pleasant shopping words, he got off the platform, and then some indigenous dancers began to perform on stage to liven up the atmosphere.
Tom also watched two dances. Such visual performances were something he had never thought of before, because only those powerful people could enjoy such performances.
But looking at the shops opened by Xia people around the square, he couldn't help but start to get anxious, fearing that he would be too late to leave the goods.
Tom asked the guy to watch his stall, called two people, walked towards the queue, and became one of the many purchasing troops.
In fact, these merchants don’t need to be so anxious. Xia Guo’s survival cannot be digested by the few people in front of him. It has accumulated inventory for several months after industrial production.
Nowadays, Xia Kingdom is not just the textile factory outside the west city of Tianqi City. After breaking away from the restrictions of the river, factories can be opened no matter where they are.
Therefore, in Xia, basically every county has one or two textile factories, some are run by the government, and some are run by private factories.
Whether it is south of the Tianqian Mountains or the counties in the Linhai Basin, there are people who open factories, not only textile factories, but also private capital in other industries.
Of course, these factories are allowed after official overall planning, and not all factories can be opened. For example, if a person wants to open an arsenal, this will definitely not be allowed.
