Li Qi took more than a dozen people to a palace. The palace was very large and empty inside. It seemed that the furniture had been evacuated in advance.
"Hang the hangers and clothes as I told you." Li Qi ordered.
Soon everyone started to take action, arranging the wooden clothes hangers they brought, and then hung up the clothes one by one.
These clothes include down jackets and furs, and the styles are simply unheard of and unseen.
If these styles were placed in Li Qi's time, they might not be new at all, and they could be said to be bad.
But in this era, these clothing styles are considered trendy.
Li Qi didn't study fashion design originally, so when it comes to clothes design, he basically takes a simple route.
We only make coats and coats, after all, coats and coats are easier to make.
For example, down jackets are made from the existing styles of clothing in this era, with slight modifications, and they are directly shaped.
After arranging all the clothes, Li Qi ordered everyone to take some spices and put them in the pockets of the clothes.
After doing all this, he waited here quietly.
After a while, Nalan Jin came over with seven or eight concubines. After Li Qi greeted them one by one, he began to introduce them eloquently.
Nalanjin's mother, Concubine Zhen, was soon confused by Li Qi's deception, and finally said directly that she wanted all the clothes.
Grandma, this is about to be published!
But what Li Qi didn't expect was that Concubine Zhen wanted everything, but it was Nalan Jin who paid.
And when this guy heard that the clothes Li Qi brought cost more than 10,000 taels, he felt a pang of pain.
"Fourteenth Master, how about I give you a discount?" Li Qi rubbed his hands and said with a smile.
"Discount?"
"I'm just going to give you a discount. We're all friends. Let's do this. We don't need the fraction. You give us a round number." Li Qi said with a smile.
Nalanjin smiled bitterly and said: "How can this be done? I should be taking care of your business, so how can I prevent you from making money? It is as much as it should be, and don't be polite to me."
Li Qi smiled and thought: This guy can handle it!
"Since the Fourteenth Master has said so, I can only be respectful rather than obey." Li Qi calculated the quotation and said: "The total is sixteen thousand three hundred taels."
"Okay, I'll have someone send you the money later." Nalan Jin said.
"Thank you, Master Fourteen!"
…
When Li Qi's clothing business was in full swing, it also attracted many followers. Counterfeit down jackets began to appear on the market, and the styles were all copied from Li Qi's styles.
"Sir, what should we do?" Tang Yun said, holding a counterfeit down jacket, "Look, this is the down jacket I bought from the West Market, it is exactly the same as ours..."
"Where's the work?" Li Qi asked.
"Same..."
Li Qi smiled and said to himself: "In the manual era, there is really no way to achieve a technological monopoly..."
"Sir, what are you talking about?" Tang Yun asked, somewhat confused.
Li Qidao: "It's okay. Since they can make it, let them sell it."
"But……"
Li Qi interrupted Tang Yun and said: "In this way, apart from the specialty store, we will not open another store. You can find someone to transfer it later."
"Ah?" Tang Yun was in a daze, "Sir, are you not planning to continue doing this business?"
"Of course we have to do it, but we have to change the model." Li Qi said, "If the specialty store stays, the price of all clothes will be doubled."
Tang Yun was dumbfounded. Nowadays, the competition is so fierce. Not only do you not lower the price, but you also increase it?
Li Qi seemed to see what she was thinking and said with a smile: "We now have a stable source of customers. We don't need to accept other individual customers. We just need to do good business in the palace. Since we are doing business in the palace, we naturally have to do more and more."
The more expensive, the better.”
After saying that, he paused and then said: "Yun'er, I know what you are thinking. Are you worried that others will compete with us for the palace's business?"
Tang Yun nodded.
Li Qi smiled and said: "You don't have to worry about this. When the time comes, I will bring Nalan Jin over to buy shares. In the future, with his line, the palace will have no choice but to look to him if they want to buy down jackets."
Tang Yun's eyes lit up and he said: "Young master, do you want to use Nalan Jin to create a monopoly?"
"Yes, he is a prince. With this status, others will not dare to steal his business. Besides, this down jacket business is not a big business." Li Qi said.
For Li Qi today, this business is indeed not a big business.
Thinking about his property in Daxia Kyoto, the money he makes here is completely worth mentioning.
It's just that in order to settle down in this snowy city, I have to find something to do.
In this way, you can not only make some money to keep yourself idle, but also give yourself an identity that can withstand scrutiny.
"Sir, it's been almost two months, why haven't Daxia and Snow Country started fighting yet?" Tang Yun asked.
Li Qi said: "Who knows? Maybe Daxia's troops haven't arrived yet? Or something happened on the road, or the two sides have entered the negotiation stage... Why do you think so much? Let's just take care of it.
In the snow capital, eat well and sleep well, and then go back home when you are ready."
Tang Yun nodded.
…
During this period, Li Qi ran towards Nalanjin's house whenever he had free time. Even the guard guarding the door recognized him as he walked back and forth.
"Dong Li, are you looking for the Fourteenth Master again?" The guard greeted Li Qi with a smile.
Li Qi smiled and said, "Well, I'm here to chat with Master Fourteenth."
"Master Fourteen is in the backyard, you can just go there."
"Okay." Li Qi said, handing over a tael of silver, "a little thought."
The guard's subordinate Yinzi said: "Thank you very much, Mr. Li."
Arriving at the backyard with ease, Li Qi quickly found Nalan Jin.
In a study room, Nalan Jin stood in front of a sand table, seeming to be studying something.
Li Qi knocked on the door and went in: "Fourteenth Master, what are you studying?"
When Nalan Jin saw Li Qi coming, he smiled and said, "Look at the terrain."
Li Qi leaned over, glanced at the sand table and asked, "Why are you looking at the terrain?"
"Brother Li, haven't you heard anything?" Nalan Jin asked.
"I heard?" Li Qi looked confused.
Nalanjin sat down on a chair beside him and said slowly: "There will be a war soon."
"oh?"
"Your Emperor of Great Xia sent an army of 300,000 men over with great force. It has entered the territory of the Snow Country and is now heading towards the Snow Capital." Nalan Jin said without seeming to be worried at all.
Li Qi smiled and said: "I am just a businessman, and I know nothing about war...but since there is going to be a war, it seems that business will be difficult to do."
Li Qi said with a wry smile: "I came here today and originally wanted to discuss something with Mr. Forty..."
