In ancient times, I just wanted to be a salted fish

Because the enamel jewelry is unique and is the patent of Huicuilou, the price is very high, 800 taels per bracelet. Huicuilou sells the craftsmanship. At that time, a bracelet of the same weight would only cost 200 to 300 taels.

When Zhang Ruixi heard the price, her eyes widened in disbelief, but she came to her senses in an instant and smiled: "It's better to be more expensive, this is also my business, the more expensive, the more I earn!" Think about it, Zhenpin Pavilion gave her more than 20,000 taels of silver in just two months, she is considered a little rich among the sisters.

So she happily took out the 800 taels of silver note and handed it to Chen Sanhe. Chen Sanhe could only pretend not to know her and accepted the note, thinking: Anyway, the more Huicuilou earns, the more Miss Zhang gets, and she won't care about the 800 taels of silver.

There was only one enamel bracelet left, and the ladies were still hesitating when someone said, "I want the remaining one!"

Chen Sanhe looked back and saw that it was his old acquaintance, Shopkeeper He.

Shopkeeper He went to Zhenpin Pavilion to purchase goods today. Unlike before, he could only take ten pieces of glassware and porcelain each, and then some perfume, shampoo, etc. Zhenpin Pavilion had not released any new products recently. He followed Chen Erjiang's suggestion and came to Huicui Building to see the new bracelets. He liked them at first sight. He thought that this bracelet would be a hit in Beijing.

Chen Sanhe put the bracelet in a box and handed it to Shopkeeper He, saying with a smile: "Shopkeeper He has a good eye. This bracelet will lead the new style in Beijing and will definitely sell well!"

Shopkeeper He smiled and said, "Yes, there are just too few bracelets. I can only take one at a time. I want to order more!"

"Okay, place your order and we will try to speed up the production. You can pick it up in 20 days. However, we can only give you 10. Slow work makes fine work. Look at the craftsmanship. This bracelet cannot be made without two or three days."

"Okay, as long as you have the goods, I can't come here for nothing just to get a bracelet! I'll get thirty more of those new silver jewelry."

Chen Sanhe helped him pack all the jewelry, and Shopkeeper He left happily. He bought this bracelet not to sell it, but to give it to his wife.

Chen Ruotong stopped the silver workshop from working, and all six people went to the gold workshop to make enamel bracelets according to the pattern. Only two of each style were made in limited supply, and it was on a first-come, first-served basis.

Zhang Ruixi wore the bracelet and showed it off in front of her sisters. Some girls could only sigh and say, "It's expensive! It's more expensive than the glass!" Their families would not buy them. But it was different for the ladies. They were the mistresses of the house and controlled the economic lifeline of the family. What was eight hundred taels? They wanted to buy it, but it was out of stock. Alas! If you wanted to buy it, you had to wait in line. It was really hard to get a bracelet! But it didn't matter. Instead of buying a gold bracelet, we could buy a silver bracelet. That silver bracelet was also unique, so there was a rush to buy silver bracelets.

The Huicui Building was crowded with people, and many shelves were empty. Chen Ruotong was busy too, she was busy sorting out silver jewelry in the space. She wanted to pick out some new styles of silver jewelry from those gold shops and sell them. She also noticed diamond rings and diamond necklaces. Should she sell them now? Let's try with ten rings first. So, she carried a big box out of the space, walked out of the warehouse of Zhenpin Pavilion, and went to Huicui Building with Qiao Zien.

Wow, this scene feels like a fight is about to break out. Everyone rushed to buy silver jewelry. First, the price of silver jewelry was low, ranging from a few dozen to one or two hundred taels; second, they were all new products in the space.

The weather was hot to begin with, so even if there were several ice basins in the Huicui Building, it wouldn't help! Chen Ruotong squeezed in with the box in her arms. Well, let's not put out the new products yet, let's sell these in the store first, and wait until they're all gone. The buy one get two free promotion was still going on, and the shop assistants were sweating profusely. So, she called two assistants from the Zhenpin Pavilion to help, because almost no one bought the old silver jewelry. So, Chen Ruotong planned to melt some of it and make new jewelry, but she didn't have enough manpower, so forget it, and wait until she was done with this period of work.

Shopkeeper He took his team to Beijing again with the goods. Thirty pieces of silver jewelry were sold out in one morning without any promotion, and they were all sold at high prices. Because this style was not available in Beijing, the phrase "all new styles popular in Beijing" was removed from the shelves. What was popular now was "new styles of Huicuilou". Therefore, Huicuilou jewelry led the trend, and with the promotion of those ladies, Huicuilou jewelry became popular throughout the capital. A large number of merchants went to Pingyangfu Huicuilou to purchase goods, but there were not enough goods to sell. It was okay to receive individual customers at ordinary times, but Huicuilou was a little overwhelmed by such large group purchases.

Chen Ruotong: Did she expand her business again? She was exhausted every day, what was the point? She was getting more and more confused about herself!

There was no other way. Gold and silver jewelry were out of stock, so she could only sell diamond jewelry to disperse everyone's purchasing power, and she also limited purchases, including wholesale purchases by large customers.

"Diamonds are forever, one diamond is forever", became a promotional advertisement. This guy, everyone's attention was attracted by diamonds again, and merchants with a keen sense of smell came to buy one after another. Each merchant could only buy five diamond jewelry, and no more would be sold. The more this happened, the more people bought it? People have such a mentality, the more rare things are, the more they buy, and the less they are, the more they buy. In a few days, diamond jewelry was introduced to the capital. Of course, those who wore such expensive jewelry were the nobles and wealthy businessmen, and had nothing to do with ordinary people. This attracted the attention of many people.

Zhongyonghou Mansion

Qiao Zien's stepmother, Tian, ​​was carefully examining a diamond ring that she had bought for 1,500 taels of silver. It was such a small ring, but it was so expensive, but she loved it very much, because it was a symbol of status and a representative of fashion, and it led the trend of the times in the capital. She smiled from ear to ear: "Yuyan, look at your ring, isn't it beautiful? Wearing this ring, I will be proud in front of those ladies. This is a rare thing that is hard to buy even with money."

Qiao Yuyan said enviously, "Mom, it's so beautiful. I want to buy one too! Can I? Mom!"

Tian looked at the ring over and over again and said, "You little nagging man, why are you in such a hurry? Let's go to Hui Cui Lou and buy it in a few days. It will definitely be cheaper. There are many styles for you to choose from!"

Tian was the first person in the capital to buy a diamond ring. Tian also had a small silver shop that made some money. But since the new products from Huicuilou entered the capital, they impacted some small silver shops. Small silver shops wanted to imitate, but they didn't have such high skills and couldn't imitate, so they could only go to Huicuilou to buy.

Tian was one of them. She wanted to go to Huicuilou in person to have a good talk with the shopkeeper. She wanted to buy a large amount of goods. Could they be cheaper? In fact, when glassware and porcelain entered the capital, she wanted to buy them, but the price was too high, so she couldn't bear it, so she held back. Now that there were new jewelry products, she had to do this business. So, she prepared to set off and go to Huicuilou in Pingyang Prefecture.
