Chapter 106 Company Product Fair
Eble stepped on this strange land for the first time. Even if he knew that this was a civilized force, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous. In his previous understanding, Indians were all savage and bloodthirsty demons, but he didn't expect that one day they could have something that white people didn't have. Half a month ago, as a famous profiteer in New York City, Eble was arrested by soldiers for selling counterfeit goods. Eble almost thought he was going to die, but unexpectedly, the mayor of New York actually met him.
New York Mayor Abraham gave him two choices, one was the scaffolding platform, and the other was to lead the caravan to do business here. Ebul naturally chose the second one. As the saying goes, "It's better to die than to die. Who would be willing to die if you can live?" Abraham prepared a caravan for Ebul, with a total of thirty people, all of whom were Abraham's elite confidant warriors. Of course, there were also resources such as gold coins in one caravan and iron ore saltpeter in five caravans.
Abraham almost exhausted along the way. Abraham's thirty subordinates were all strong soldiers, and there was basically no need for any rest along the way. If Ebul had not been required to use his strengths to bargain with the other party for a little care, Ebul would have really died. As the first caravan to arrive at the first town of Yanhuang Trade, they were naturally curled up by the escort warriors who were lurking and training as part-time whistle. If Ebul had not been clever and quickly explained his purpose and showed the property he brought, he would have been treated by James and the first time.
It was also because of the arrival of Ebul and others that Xiao Lin sent out personnel to confirm that at least thirteen caravans were on the way to the town. A company of soldiers built a checkpoint at the place where the soldiers lurked and trained before, to check the caravans. They could be released without muskets, swords, and contraband such as drugs. As for Ebul, because he was attacked by the soldiers of the guards, he also received compensation from Xiao Lin and stayed in the guesthouse opened by the company for three days for free.
At the beginning, Eble was curious about the novelty items in the guesthouse, toilet, shower, tap hot water, Simmons bed and other things, and was also happy because he could enjoy three days for free. But later, he was a little anxious. One caravan after another, led by cunning merchants in the colony. Eble saw many old faces, especially one named Alva, who had defeated him in the mall. If so many competitors fail to complete Abraham's mission in the end, he would be easily pinched to death by the thirty people accompanying him.
Eble found the officials who had received them before and asked when they would start to discuss business. The officials were annoyed by his question and had to report it. This was not because Xiao Lin wanted to give a warning or delay, but because the types of goods exhibited at the exhibition and sales conference had to be determined and the prices were determined, and he was really too busy to do so. Seeing that the caravan was impatient, Xiao Lin could only accept the supplies brought by these people first. All the goods brought by the caravan were estimated one by one by the officials of the Commerce Department.
The price is naturally the normal and reasonable price in the colony, and the caravans are also satisfied. People from the Ministry of Commerce can provide pounds or yanghuang coins, and the company's trade is settled in these two currencies. Whether it is pounds or yanghuang coins, they are all printed by Xiao Lin using the technology provided by the counterfeit banknote king, so there are as many as possible. Xiao Lin and the young people did not have much economics knowledge, so Xiao Lin invited Yan Li to come out. There is no plan for the issuance of currency, so it is not good if inflation occurs.
After finishing the work here, the trade fair was ready. The old market that had been sealed and planned to demolish and renovated in residential areas, but now it has become more than 30 stalls, all filled with goods, and at least three people were responsible for introducing them at each stall. Eibul followed several guards and squeezed at the market door with nineteen merchants. As soon as the business opened, he immediately squeezed in. Relying on the guards provided by Abraham, Eibul cleaned up Aval this time and squeezed him to the end.
As soon as he entered the market, Ebul was attracted by the goods on various stalls. Xiao Lin arranged the goods according to the order of food, clothing, housing and transportation. The goods near the gate were "clothing". On the left were men's clothing, retro dovetail suits, modern business suits and casual suits, and naturally there were watches as men's accessories. On the right were women's clothing, 21st century design-style underwear, beautiful skirts, women's suits, and sexy mini-short skirts. There was even a stall specializing in selling sexy underwear.
These ladies' clothing is a bit bold, but it is still very popular in the company. Especially some men, who specialize in selling shoes and sexy clothes for their wives and girlfriends, and then hehehe every night. Even some people who only have inflatable girlfriends have bought a lot. Among them, the most popular one is stockings. Stockings have six advantages: they modify their legs, protect against sun protection, reduce the pressure on the leg veins, prevent edema, keep warm, and prevent trousers from sticking to their bodies when sweating.
Since Xiao Lin introduced stockings, every woman between the ages of 16 and 35 in the company has bought several pairs. Xiao Lin believes that these things will be very popular among white people. Although the company cannot produce stockings, they take up a small area and make a big profit. Xiao Lin has not found any models, and has all kinds of pictures in the 21st century, so just make a model board.
Ebul is not a Chu brother anymore. He stood in front of the stall with a dozen old fried dough sticks, commenting on the model board and various non-sexy underwear, which made the guards blushed and overwhelmed. The jeans from the ready-to-wear manufacturer are also a good product. They are strong and reliable, and the style is good. They are just right in their work. Ebul and Aval both bought a lot of tight jeans, because they can reveal the beautiful curves of women, Ali also sold a lot of them.
After the clothes, they are naturally food. Xiao Lin sells all kinds of condiments. Thirteen spices, cumin powder, chili sauce, fine salt, MSG, chicken essence and soy sauce and aged vinegar are all there. These things are not complicated to make. Xiao Lin has found or bought related technologies, and the workshop needs to be built. There is no need to make a cooking demonstration. They are placed there directly to explain the function, and the caravans are starting to pursue them.
In this era, navigation is not so safe and fast. Many spices can be made, and only nobles can enjoy it. They did not expect that there were so many delicious seasonings made from mixed spices. Especially the Thirteen Spicy and Monsoon Chicken Essence, which completed a transaction volume of 10,000 bags (500 grams per bag). Of course, instant noodles and canned food are indispensable. They are both products of canned factories and have a worse taste, but they are enough. Bread and other things can’t be stored for long. Even if preservatives are added, they can only be kept fresh for more than ten days in order not to eat them. If you keep them fresh in a vacuum, you can’t get it.
The living goods can be said to be the least, and they are just tents and sleeping bags. Moreover, they are all inferior goods produced by the company's garment manufacturers. They were originally intended to be used for the guards, but no matter how they improve, they are still worse than civil tents and sleeping bags in the 21st century. Xiao Lin did not intend to waste a quantity of 3,000, and directly took it out to sell it to white people. Although it is inferior goods, it is better than all the white troops now, and it is very attractive to those guards from military origins.
There are also some stalls selling 21st century-style furniture made by wood processing factories. The light and simple style is also luxurious. The representatives of the nobles also bought a lot and prepared to transport it back to flatter the master behind them.
In terms of travel, there are naturally all kinds of bicycles, and Xiao Lin has been lifted out of the ban. Ordinary bicycles, shopping basket bicycles, children's bicycles, mountainous bicycles and three-wheeled cargo bicycles are all placed on a series of stalls. Xiao Lin's next step is to equip the guards with better electric and diesel motorcycles. In terms of electricity, the company's power plants can also meet the requirements. If diesel is not used every day, there will be no pressure to buy it from the 21st century.
Bicycles are a new thing, and people in the caravan have never seen them. The Charles family bought a few, but they were all digested internally. The bicycles that Xiao Lin put out were all used by the company. The appearance was refurbished and sold directly as new products. A refurbished ordinary bicycle, Xiao Lin dared to sell it for 70 pounds, which is really a black-hearted businessman. Ebel and other merchants tried to ride one after another. Several guards from the army learned it in ten minutes because they had a good grasp of their body balance. Then, they kept praising the goodness of this two-wheeled car.
Eble was also asked by his accompanying guard to order 100 vehicles. If he weren't afraid of not being able to take it away, he would have bought more. For three consecutive days, the entire old market, from 8 am to 10 pm, was a bargaining sound. If the caravan only brought some raw materials for iron ore saltpeter, the money would be really not enough. However, many caravans brought a large amount of gold coins. These gold coins were completely used as antiques to auction until the 21st century, because they were not new, Xiao Lin found that many rare gold coins on the market would definitely have a good price.
