In the three-story building, apart from the third floor that was used to entertain guests, the first and second floors were filled with glass mirrors of different sizes, ranging from the size of a palm to the height of a person. There were about a hundred mirrors in total. It was also specially stated that there was only this much stock every day. If they did not buy any, they would have to wait until the next day.
Even a palm-sized glass mirror cost a hundred taels of silver. The glass mirror on the second floor was even auctioned off to the highest bidder.
This made the family members of the high-ranking officials and dignitaries, who had thought that they had brought enough silver, dissatisfied.
"How can this be enough? My family's minister has instructed us to bring back ten mirrors.“
My lord has said that he will buy all the biggest things. If you can't buy it, you can find a river to jump into and don't go back to see him.”
"Profiteer, profiteer.“
"What are you shouting about? My master's treasures are all rare treasures from overseas. If you have too many of them, would they still be called rare treasures? If you don't have money, then don't compete blindly. I want two sides of the biggest one. The Nian residence will pay a hundred thousand taels of silver.”Nian Bin said aggressively, looking as if he was going to draw his sword and cut someone if he did not agree.
Everyone looked around. Although they were dissatisfied, they did not dare to say anything else.
"Husband, your method is really bad. Who knows how much more money these people will spend?”Diao Chan and Dong Xiaowan snuggled in Ye Qiu's arms and smiled.
"Isn't this for you guys? If I don't earn more money, how can I support you guys?”Ye Qiu swallowed the grape that Dong Xiaowan had peeled and fed him and kissed her slender fingers.
"Hmph, then stop attracting bees and butterflies. The sisters at home can't even sit at a table.”The little beauty complained.
"Hehe, who's jealous? Come, let me hug you.“
But my husband, this disciple of yours is quite useful. Is this what you mean by evil people will be tortured by evil people?”
"Xiu 'er, Xiaowan, are you itching for a fight? How dare your husband tease you? I'm going to punish you.”Ye Qiu chuckled and waved his hand. He patted the two girls on their buttocks, causing them to turn into beautiful snakes and fall into his arms.
"This is only the first step, the Glazed Mirror. When the popularity of the Glazed Mirror dies down, there will still be Glazed Cup and Glazed Bottle. Oh right, the sales in other places have also been arranged, right?”Ye Qiu said as she kissed Dong Xiaowan's face.
"Everything has been arranged according to my husband's instructions. There are a total of fifty stores in the top ten cities of Shangjing and twenty cities of Great Ming. Each store will sell from ten to a hundred mirrors a day according to their size. The largest glass mirror is only sold in the main stores of Shangjing and Yingtian Prefecture.”Dong Xiaowan was filled with admiration for Ye Qiu's sales methods.
50 stores, 1,000 mirrors a day, according to the average of 500 taels per mirror, that would be 500,000 taels of silver.
This was only the profit from the Glazed Mirror. The subsequent series of products had yet to be launched.
At this moment, the auction on the second floor had already begun.
Other than the two largest mirrors that Nian Bin had bought for 100,000 taels of silver, there was one more mirror on the second floor that was as tall as a person. There were five mirrors that were three feet square, ten mirrors that were two feet square, and twenty mirrors that were one foot square.
These glass mirrors were inlaid with all kinds of precious wood, and the craftsmanship was exquisite. They were definitely the essence of art.
Compared to the simple mirrors on the first floor, the frames had to be made by themselves. The second floor was the target of the big families.
"The first set, the last one, is a mirror of the same grade as Young Master Nian's tribute. The starting price is 10,000 taels.”
"Twenty thousand taels."
"Twenty-five thousand taels!"
"Young Master Nian is already offering 100,000 taels for two sides. Aren't you guys too poor? I'll offer 50,000 taels for one side.”The butler of Prince Duo's residence said loudly, and at the same time, he flattered Nian Bin.
The bidding in the venue rose and fell. Those who felt that they had lost face began to bid even more. The price of one side was raised from 10,000 taels to 100,000 taels, and it was won by Prince Duo's residence.
The rest of the Glazed Mirrors were also auctioned at sky-high prices in this uncontrollable atmosphere.
Finally, when Ping 'er finished calculating the account book, she gave a shocking profit.
On the first day alone, the Qizhen Pavilion Shangjing branch had already earned 600,000 taels of silver, and the cost was less than 10,000 taels.
Although the income from the later days would definitely not be as good as the first day, based on the popularity, it would not be difficult to maintain the standard of 300,000 yuan a day.
The main reason was that the second floor had adopted a bidding model, which led to a high price, especially for the glass mirror that was as tall as a person. As there were only three pieces a day, and only the main store in Shangjing had sales in the entire Houjin, the supply definitely exceeded the demand.
According to incomplete statistics, there were at least 1,000 officials and nobles above the third rank in Shangjing. In addition, there were many merchants who did not have enough official positions but had enough spending power. There was at least 10,000 demand.
Everyone was in the underworld. If someone else had one, how could you say that you were a respectable family if you didn't put one in the living room?
Forget about that. In this day and age, officials and rich people all had wives and concubines. It was the same at home. If you had one and I didn't, wouldn't that mean that I was inferior to you? No matter what, they had to meet at least three to five times.
What? The one you bought for me is one size smaller than the first house. You don't love me anymore, right? Master, I'm going to hang myself.
What? You gave this vixen a bigger house than this old lady's? Do you think this old lady is easy to bully? Someone come, this old lady is going back to her mother's house.
The entire Shangjing, and even the many family ethics dramas that had been triggered by this incident, were all caused by Ye Qiu, the butterfly that flapped its wings.
Drunken Fragrance had also become a must-have for upper-class families to treat their guests. Martial arts masters competed to show off their capital. In particular, wine was easier to transport than Glazed Mirror, and the demand for it was higher. Every day, countless people squatted at the door of the shop, waiting to buy it and then sell it to other places at a higher price.
In less than a month, the data reported by Houjin and Da Ming's various big doors, the net profit of the finished glass and the Drunken Fragrance alone exceeded 30 million.
Although the Crimson Pavilion was relatively low-key and only had one branch in Shangjing, it had also achieved a profit of 50,000 taels of silver. It had also become the first choice for Shangjing's madams and young ladies to gather.
