The concept of luxury goods was slowly implanted into the hearts of the people of Pinyang when Zhao Kun was in Pinyang.

Later, a series of novel products such as porcelain, glass products, and other products were successively hyped into luxury goods by major businesses.

Wanbaolou, which belongs to the Wang family, is the leader in the luxury goods industry.

Recently, the luxury goods tax has been released, and most businesses have closed their stores due to the high tax rates.

Nowadays, there are only a few families with strong financial resources left in the luxury goods store in Xianyang.

The Qingshi Trading Company in Bajun is one of the few glass shops that have opened stores.

This glass shop is the property of the Qing family of Bajun in Xianyang.

Although glass products belong to the top industry of Qin.

However, the Qing Dynasty has always had close ties with the Qin court, and with the contribution of funding Wang Li, he received some benefits from selling glass products.

At noon, the sun had already climbed high, and the business owner Basan opened the door with a yawn.

A few days ago, Basang heard that the luxury tax was a foregone conclusion, so he reported it to the Baqing headquarters and asked the store to be closed.

But Baqing head office directly refused.

He had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue to open business.

Anyway, there is no business, so I just want to have a face when I run it.

Although the store in this glass shop is not big, the location is good, because Baqingshi has strong financial resources and is not afraid of losing money without business.

Considering that the luxury tax has become a foregone conclusion, Basan simply did it all the time and directly doubled the price of glass products in the store.

Even if you can't sell it, you have to start the countertop.

These days, there are still many people who come to see you, but there are almost no ones who buy it.

Basang changed his previous diligence. He slept until the sun was sunny every day before getting up, and then lay on the rocking chair and was busy.

This feeling is a bit like working in a state-owned enterprise, not seeking merit, but seeking no mistakes.

Anyway, the monthly salary will be paid.

Seeing that the sun was about to set, Basang sighed and prepared to get up and close the door for dinner.

However, at this moment, a group of little girls came out of the store, making him frown.

"There is a glass shop here, let's go in and take a look."

"I won't look at it anymore. I haven't heard of it before. What's the best store to look at?"

"It's so deserted, I think I'm just like other people, so I have to clear the goods and close the door."

“It’s very neat inside, not like a business…”

Hearing this, Basan immediately walked out quickly.

"Do you want to buy glass?"

Basang gave a gift to the girls who were dressed in eye-catching clothes but had a weird appearance.

Since Qin destroyed the Huns, countries in the Western Regions have been well aware of the power of Qin and have begun to send envoys to Xianyang to show their friendship.

The merchants of the Western Regions took this opportunity to enter Xianyang, make a lot of purchases, and then take them to the Western Regions to sell them.

As a result, the number of people in the Western Regions in Xianyang suddenly increased.

Because the facial features of the people in the Western Regions are very different from those of the Chinese, Basang recognized their origins at a glance, so it is not surprising.

"Master, what is this glass?"

A girl who looked slightly older asked in a fluent Qin Yu.

"Glass and glazed glass have the same effect."

Basang seemed to have to answer, and suddenly remembered something, adding: "Glass products are more exquisite than glazed products."

"Then do you have the goods in your store?"

Basang nodded quickly, but then hesitated again: "Some are there, but because of the new tax, the price of our bank has increased more than before..."

When the girls heard that there was stock, they were not scared by the price increase, but instead walked into the store excitedly.

"A few people, all the glass products of our bank are produced from the Academy of Sciences, and the quality is the best choice. If the demand is large, the price can be negotiated."

Basan followed the girls and introduced weakly.

His store had a normal business before, so he had fewer glass products in stock.

After all, the glass factory of the Academy of Sciences always places orders first and then produces it. He has a bad business and dares not buy more goods.

If you purchase less, the cost price will definitely be higher than others.

In this way, his transaction price is not competitive and naturally he will not attract many customers.

Glass is a new thing, and it is almost impossible for ordinary people to use it. It can be used by high-ranking officials and nobles, but the demand is uneven.

Moreover, high-ranking officials and nobles do not purchase them themselves, so the profits in the middle must be divided into a portion.

So, the bulk business can't make much money.

As soon as the new tax system was released, other glass shops had a clearance sale, and the prices were outrageously low.

It is said that other glass shops in Xianyang City have been in full swing these days.

Many ordinary people flocked to the store to buy at the bottom, which also created a grand occasion of being out of stock.

"Master, why is the color of this glass more than glass, and it feels much brighter?"

Hearing this, Basang explained with a smile: "These glasses adopt the latest dyeing method developed by the Academy of Sciences. They are different from the dyeing method of stone dyeing and grass dyeing method, and will never fade."

"How much does a piece of glass product cost?"

When the other party asked the point, Basang paused and said dryly: "The glass products in our store are all from the glass factory of the Academy of Sciences. The girls have also seen the things. The quality is of the best, and the quality is excellent..."

Basan talked about him, which made the leading woman really impatient.

"You are a leader who knows nothing, and you just say the price is just like this. Do you think we can't afford it?"

Basang sighed in his heart, closed his eyes and said, "A piece of glass is worth two thousand yuan!"

As soon as this was said, no one responded. He felt guilty and added: "The new tax system is being piloted, the tax price is too high, this is the lowest discount in our store!"

After saying that, the expected ridicule did not come.

Basang was slightly stunned and opened his eyes immediately.

Good guy!

Several girls were holding two glass products in their hands and looking at him with strange faces.

And the woman in charge seemed to be waiting for the payment.

"No, you guys..."

Basang's eyes widened, as if he didn't react.

There are six people in total, and these are twelve glass products.

Basan was stupid.

Each piece is two thousand yuan, which is a total of twenty-four thousand yuan!

Nowadays, the average salary of Guanzhong workers is only about 200 yuan per month.

In other words, the glass products held by these girls were paid for a worker for a full ten years.

The cost of glass products in the Basang store is about 800 yuan and the price of 2,000 yuan is a bit outrageously high even in his opinion.

The reason why I set this price is just a throwaway.

Unexpectedly, someone actually bought it.

"This is a note issued by the Qin Dynasty. I have filled it out. You can just take the note to the HSBC under Dianke Mansion to exchange coins!"

“HSBC bills?”

Basan was stunned again and immediately took the receipt handed over by the leading girl.

There are seals of the three government offices of Dianke Mansion, Prime Minister’s Mansion, and Tingwei Mansion.

HSBC was established last year and is a business that specializes in the bulk transactions of foreign merchants.

Such bills can be used as certificates in major commercial banks in Xianyang, and they are guaranteed by the Qin court, so they cannot be faked.

Basan took the bill and checked it carefully.

After comparing the various printings and ink depths above, Basan confirmed that this was a note from HSBC.

I heard the leading girl say proudly: "Master, please add more purple glass in the future. My lord likes purple the most. If he is satisfied, your business will inevitably be in the future."

"Dare you ask what country the girl is?" Basang asked curiously.

This kind of bill is generally popular among foreign VIPs.

It is mainly to facilitate their shopping and consumption in Qin State.

If you meet a big customer, it is not a bad thing to ask more.

The girl raised her head and said, "We are from Dayuan, and my king is the King of Xiwan, whom Your Majesty personally granted it."
