This Juxian Building has three floors. The first floor is the lobby, and the second and third floors are designed with open spaces.
For this appreciation banquet, the second floor is the inner court, the first floor is the outer court, and the third floor is the VIP room.
In the middle space on the first floor, a high platform was built that was almost level with the second floor. On top of this, there would be a place for display, singing and selling.
For such a grand banquet, even Duke Xin Guo came to the Juxian Building. After all, among the invited guests, there were many princes and nobles with the same or even higher official positions than him.
Of course, people of this status would not fight with others on the second floor. Instead, they would sit on the third floor. In the box where Duke Xin was sitting at this time, all the ministers who were good friends with him were present.
The other boxes on the third floor were also filled with people of high status.
With their status, they naturally don't care too much about jewelry and jade. The main purpose of their visit is for social needs.
After all, except for enemies with whom we have bad relations, who would not give Duke Xin this face?
Of course, if you really come across something you like, it's normal to take action.
As for those on the first floor, they are just there to watch the excitement. If you want to bid for these exquisite jade beads, it is not enough regardless of your social status and status.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, the appreciation party began.
First, a group of people held trays and circulated the top-quality jewelry and jades, as well as the highlight this time, green and exquisite beads, in a circle among the guests.
First, we walked around the outfield on the first floor, which was just a walk around. Many people didn't see it clearly at all.
On the second floor, I went in and walked around every booth.
As for the third floor, they were put directly on the table for the princes and nobles to taste.
After the display was completed, we finally climbed onto the high platform in the hall.
First explain the rules clearly, and then start singing and selling.
It has to be said that the appreciation party on the Changsheng was very successful. Each of those green and exquisite beads was sold for a high price, especially the three flawless colored glaze beads, which were sold by a prince for fifty thousand taels.
The price was won.
You must know that the purchase price for these three bubble-free, round and regular glass beads was only 6,500 taels each, and the profit increased by 1.5 times.
Even those high-quality jewelry and jades are sold at very high prices. You must know that these exquisite products are generally not so easy to sell. They are called the treasures of the store, but in fact they just cannot be sold.
That’s all.
The appreciation party didn't end successfully until nearly four o'clock in the afternoon. All the items prepared were sold out, and nearly 400,000 taels of banknotes were recorded. The old shopkeeper laughed so hard that he couldn't close his mouth.
Not only him, but also Duke Xin couldn't help smiling on his face. He specially summoned the old shopkeeper and Fan Jian, and even asked them to drink at the same table.
Although Fan Jian was somewhat close to Duke Xin, this was the first time he saw such a big shot. He was very nervous when he was sitting at the table. He wanted to propose a toast, but was afraid of being too abrupt, until Duke Xin called him.
Only then did he suddenly come back to his senses.
"Fan Jian, you did a good job this time. I heard that this appreciation party was your idea?"
Fan Jian quickly stood up and saluted: "Thank you, Mr. Guo, for your praise. Although this idea came from a villain, it was only thanks to the support and improvement of the old shopkeeper that it was so successful."
"Okay, okay. He takes credit but is not arrogant. He also knows how to be humble. He is a talented person." Duke Xin laughed loudly and said, "Give me some wine."
After taking a sip, Fan Jian drank the wine in the glass, and suddenly felt a burning sensation from his throat into his stomach. A warmth spread throughout his body, and his whole body felt a little elated.
This is Yuye Liquor produced by Tao Ranju. This wine is now released in limited quantities every day. Tao Ranju sells it for two taels of silver, but if you don't get it, if you want to drink it, you have to go to a very delicious hot pot restaurant or spend three taels of silver.
Buy it from someone else.
By the way, half of the people who rush to buy Yuye wine every day are arranged by Yang Xuan.
Although Fan Jian was a little nervous, he was even more calm in his heart. In front of Duke Xin, he did not dare to be disrespectful at all. After all, his future was in the hands of Duke Xin.
Duke Xin Guo drank two ounces of wine. Although he was already drunk, he was still very excited: "I heard that you want to open a shop. In this way, you can go to see Butler Du tomorrow. You can ask for anything, but this appreciation party,
You can hold it from time to time in the future, and then you will be responsible for it."
Fan Jian was startled and quickly stood up again, but he couldn't drink enough. He was already dizzy after drinking a few drinks. He didn't feel it even if he sat still. As soon as he stood up, he felt that the world was spinning and he fell over with a thud.
On the ground.
However, although he was drunk, his reaction was extremely sensitive, so he knelt down on the ground and said, "Thank you so much for your help. I will do my best to serve you."
Duke Xin Guo laughed again, and at this point, the appreciation meeting ended successfully.
But on the second day, Fan Jian was picked up from the bed before he woke up from his hangover.
Seeing that the person coming was a clerk from the Changsheng, Fan Jian felt unhappy. Now I have had drinks with the Duke at the same table. How dare this guy be so rude.
But before he had time to attack, the clerk said anxiously: "Something happened, something big happened. The old shopkeeper asked you to go to the shop quickly."
Seeing the anxious look on his face, Fan Jian quickly asked, "What's the big deal? The sky hasn't fallen."
"Oh, something really big has happened. Every jewelry store in Yingtian Mansion has launched green and exquisite beads, and the price is only one hundred taels of silver each."
When Fan Jian heard this, he immediately sat down on the ground.
"One hundred taels of silver each?"
Fan Jian laughed again: "Impossible, absolutely impossible, it must be a counterfeit."
He said it was impossible, but he quickly put on his clothes and put on his shoes. He didn't care about the guy, and ran quickly towards the Changsheng after leaving the door.
But when he passed by a jewelry store, he saw a flag had been erected in front of the store, with big words written on it: Our store has newly arrived green and exquisite beads, the price is one hundred taels each, the quantity
Limited quantity, so hurry up if you want to buy.
The first reaction that flashed through his mind was, fake, this is definitely fake.
Originally, he thought about going into the jewelry store to make a fake and expose the true colors of these scammers, but after thinking about it, he stopped and went to the Changsheng No. to discuss with the old shopkeeper first.
In the Changsheng No., the old shopkeeper was walking around anxiously. When he saw Fan Jian, he immediately grabbed him by the collar and roared: "What's going on? What's going on? Are you talking to that fool?"
Have the businessmen colluded?"
Although Fan Jian was anxious, his mind was still racing: "It's unfair, old shopkeeper, if I colluded with Hu Shang and took the money, wouldn't I run away?"
The old shopkeeper let go of his hand angrily: "Then why? Why are these green and exquisite beads all over the street?"
