The Prodigal Son's Happy Life - Chapter 290
[Chapter 290: Scramble]
Struggling to be the first. When the man heard this, he was slightly startled. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he didn’t know how to say it. After a while, he said: “The price you set is so high, will anyone buy it? “
Shopkeeper Chen opened his mouth and wanted to answer.
Before he could speak, he heard the wealthy businessman in fine clothes say loudly: “I’ll buy it!”
As soon as he said this, the entire Gujing Street fell silent for a moment.
The crowd of onlookers unanimously focused their attention on the wealthy businessman in fine clothes, with expressions of surprise on their faces, and then a look of deep disdain.
There really is such a fool who spends so much money to buy a kite.
I’m afraid this person has lost his mind.
In addition, there are also a few people who think that this wealthy businessman wants to use this kite to climb into Fangfu’s carriage.
Although there was no such thing as scholars, farmers, industry and merchants in Chu State, the status of merchants was not high, especially in front of nobles.
If this wealthy businessman didn’t have a certain background, it would be a good idea to use this kite to please Fang Xiu, the prodigal son.
All in all, no one present, including shopkeeper Chen, thought that the wealthy businessman really wanted to buy the kite.
Even Shopkeeper Chen was slightly startled. After a moment, he seemed to come to his senses and said with a smile: “I wonder what number of kites you want, sir?”
The wealthy businessman squeezed through the crowd and walked to Shopkeeper Chen’s door. In front of him, with a smile on his face, he said with a smile: “I want to rent the biggest kite No. 7.”
Shopkeeper Chen was a little confused when he heard this.
There was actually someone willing to rent the kite.
After being distracted for a moment, shopkeeper Chen returned to his original state and asked with a smile: “How long will this gentleman be willing to rent the kite?”
The wealthy businessman thought for a moment and said, “One day.” Time, is it fifty taels of silver?”
Shopkeeper Chen nodded.
The wealthy businessman smiled and said: “Then let’s rent it for a day.”
After he finished speaking, he showed a hesitant look on his face. After a moment, he continued: “It’s just that the No. 7 kite is a bit big, and the guards at the lower house are not there.” Experience in flying a kite may not necessarily make it possible to fly a kite
.” Shopkeeper Chen smiled when he heard this and replied: “Don’t worry about this, since it is a rental kite, the kite shop will naturally provide a full range of services
to the renter .
If you cannot fly the kite, the kite shop will fly it for you. The timing will not start until the kite flies into the sky. Before that, there is no charge.
Of course, if this service is not needed, the kite will be flown as soon as it leaves the kite shop. Then the timer started.”
When the wealthy businessman heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: “Then it’s time for you, shopkeeper.”
Shopkeeper Chen bowed his hands and said, “It’s your job, it’s your job.”
The rich businessman returned the favor. Then he said: “As for the engraving,”
Shopkeeper Chen continued to explain: “Whether it is engraving or painting, there is no additional fee, but you need to provide a template, and then the master of the kite workshop will draw it on the kite. If you are not satisfied, Each customer can have three chances to change.
Of course, after three times, no more changes can be made, no matter whether the customer is satisfied or not.”
When the wealthy businessman heard this, the last worry in his heart disappeared.
He happily took out a silver note from his arms and handed it to shopkeeper Chen. He said with a smile: “Thank you shopkeeper for clarifying my doubts. Here are fifty taels of silver.
I wonder when the kite will be in place?”
Shopkeeper Chen stretched out his hand to take it. He took the banknote, smiled, and said, “That’s all right now. I wonder what this gentleman wants to draw on the kite?”
The wealthy businessman seemed to have been prepared. He took out a piece of rice paper from his arms and handed it to Shopkeeper Chen bowed, and then said: “Sorry for the trouble.”
Shopkeeper Chen took the rice paper, glanced at it, with a smile on his face, and said: “This kind of advertisement only needs to wait for half a stick of incense.” Done.
I wonder if this gentleman is ready to fly away now, or to wait for a while?”
When the wealthy businessman heard that it only took half a stick of incense to complete, he looked surprised, and then said with a smile: “In that case, then now Just let it fly.”
Shopkeeper Chen nodded and said only one word: “Okay.”
Then he handed the rice paper to the boy behind him.
The boy understood immediately and entered the room with the rice paper.
Seeing this scene, everyone onlookers had puzzled expressions on their faces.
Didn’t understand what they were saying at all.
The meaning of advertising is not difficult to understand, it is nothing more than spreading the word.
This term, after being promoted by Zhuxuanzhai newspaper, is no longer a strange word.
Zhuxuanzhai’s newspaper has a page dedicated to advertising.
Almost all famous shops in the capital occupied space in Zhuxuanzhai’s newspaper.
I heard it’s expensive.
The price of Zhuxuanzhai’s newspaper is so low, but it can still make a lot of profits. The most important thing is the content of this advertisement.
However, they couldn’t figure out what the relationship between this kite and advertising was.
Could it be
Almost instantly, several merchants in the crowd seemed to understand something, with joy on their faces, and they shouted: “Shopkeeper, I also want to rent a No. 7 kite!”
“I also want to rent it for a day !”
!”
“”
Several more voices rang out from the crowd.
At this time, not to mention the people who were watching, even those who had previously criticized Kite Factory for being too high, were all stunned in place.
No matter how they think about it, they still don’t understand that a small kite with such a high price, just for rent, can be used by so many people.
Could it be that these people are exactly the same as the one from Fang Mansion, suffering from brain diseases?
It’s really strange.
After a while, all these businessmen crowded in front of Shopkeeper Chen.
I excitedly wanted to rent a kite, but saw shopkeeper Chen showing an apologetic expression.
Seeing this scene, several businessmen felt cold and felt that something was not going well.
Sure enough, the next second, I heard shopkeeper Chen say: “Gentlemen, the kite workshop has just opened. There are not many kites No. 7. There is only one in total at the moment. The gentleman before has rented it for one day. If you want to rent it, , please come back tomorrow.”
Several businessmen have worked hard for more than ten years, or even decades, to achieve today’s achievements, so they naturally understand the huge value behind this No. 7 kite.
They also understood what renting the No. 7 kite meant, and when they heard what Shopkeeper Chen said, they all became anxious.
“Then I will make a reservation for two days first. Here is a one hundred tael of silver.”
“Why should I make a reservation for you? I still want to make a reservation! I will pay one hundred and ten taels of silver to reserve for two days!”
“”
All of a sudden , several businessmen began to quarrel, in order to rent this kite, they just didn’t do anything.
The onlookers were completely shocked when they saw this scene.
They really don’t understand why these businessmen are so anxious about a kite
