Imperial County Magistrate

Chapter 639 Right to sell underwear
Gao Quan fled all the way to Zhao Kang's house for help.

Looking at his old subordinate's bruised nose and swollen face, Zhao Kang couldn't bear it.

He quickly took action to stop the domestic violence.

Gao Quan's wife then threw away the rolling pin and looked at her husband complaining: "Why didn't you say earlier that you were doing something for me? Look at what happened."

Gao Quan was sad and angry: "I said it, but did you believe it?"

Gao Quan's wife laughed awkwardly, then looked at Zhao Kang: "Master, the 1000 taels my Gao Quan spent last night..."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Kang immediately said: "What are you talking about? That was Gao Quan's own money to buy the ticket for Li Qiaoer! I didn't force him!"

"Fuck! Master, you've even tricked one of your own! You're so heartless!" Gao Quan was furious.

"This small amount of money is nothing to you, a tall man. Don't worry about it. Just drink tea."

Zhao Kangqian laughed twice, said that he still had something to talk to Gao Quan, and sent his wife away.

Gao Quan frowned: "What kind of thing is this? What should I do now? Li Qiao'er is blocking the door of my house and won't leave."

"It's the hardest to accept the kindness of a beauty. I think you might as well accept her. You picked up a beautiful concubine for nothing, and you have to redeem yourself. What are you afraid of?"

"Hahaha, you really can stand and talk without pain in your back." Gao Quan rolled his eyes.

Zhao Kang leaned on the recliner and laughed: "Master, I don't know you yet. If you didn't have any idea in your heart, you would have stayed in Yihongyuan last night and spent the spring night with that Li Qiaoer? How fucking hypocritical."

Gao Quan scratched his head in embarrassment, and Zhao Kang stood up: "Okay, if you are interested in it, then get married openly and I will officiate the wedding for you."

"If you don't want to, just make it clear to the girl and go back and think about it yourself. I still have something to tell you right now."

Gao Quan nodded: "Master, please tell me."

"Nuo, have you seen this? In the afternoon, I will gather a hundred or so people to give me a bunch of leaflets on the street." Zhao Kang pointed to a thick stack of leaflets and advertisements on the stone table.

These are underwear advertising flyers that he had asked people in the county to write early.

"Then inform Aunt Xue that there will be one more performance in Yihong Courtyard, which is the girls' catwalk. It doesn't need to be as big as last night, just a dozen or twenty every night."

Zhao Kangdao: "In short, we must first make our underwear popular in the county so that women in the county can buy it."

Gao Quan understood and then asked: "But Master, the bras and underwear you make are not all high-end products. I'm afraid not many women in the county can afford them."

Zhao Kang explained: "I have already prepared these. The textile factory has begun to produce low-end underwear these days. I have set the price. You don't have to worry about this."

Gao Quan hummed: "Then we will continue to do the same thing from now on and spread the underwear. I think the women in the brothels are more capable."

Zhao Kang said: "Yes, when we in Yuanjiang County have almost bought it, we can take people to other places to sell it. First, we will sell it from the women in the brothel, and then spread it slowly."

"Okay, then I understand, let's do it now."

As he spoke, Gao Quan stood up and picked up the pile of flyers. He lowered his head and glanced at it a few times, and couldn't help but click his tongue in his heart.

How vulgar!

What is written on this flyer.

Yuanjiang underwear captures the hearts of men.

Hold your head high and be a woman.

It’s better to have big breasts!Wear Yuanjiang underwear and become a confident woman!
So vulgar!

By the afternoon, Gao Quan had already prepared the manpower and sent people to distribute flyers advertising underwear.

After learning about this incident, Zhang Daguan and a group of foreign merchants hurriedly went to see Gao Quan.

After seeing off the fourth wave of merchants, Gao Quan met with Zhang Daguan.

"Boss Zhang Quan."

Smiling and inviting the other party to sit down, Gao Quan asked someone to make tea.

After Senior Officer Zhang Quan called Mr. Gao, he sat down and Gao Quan joked: "Master Zhang Quan is not busy warming up the fragrant nephrite, why did he suddenly come to see me, Lao Gao?"

Zhang Quan sneered: "Master Gao is joking, but we actually have something to discuss today."

Gao Quan pretended to be surprised: "What's the matter with Mr. Zhang? Let me tell you."

Zhang Quan stopped beating around the bush and said straight to the point: "Master Gao, I heard that the underwear is also sold by the Yuanjiang County Yamen?"

Gao Quan hummed: "That's right. Mr. Zhang Daguan is interested?"

Zhang Quan said quickly: "Of course, I just don't know how much this underwear costs, how should we get it."

Gao Quan clicked his tongue: "Master Zhang, if you are interested in doing business, I, Gao, will not hide it from you. Those people also came to me to discuss the underwear business before."

"You guys all want the same exclusive sales rights as those sanitary napkins. But with all due respect, I am afraid that this thing is not something that any of you can afford."

Zhang Quan instantly understood what Gao Quan meant and asked tentatively: "Master Gao, are you saying that the sales rights for this underwear are set at a very high price?"

"Yes."

Gao Quan took a sip of tea and nodded: "You all know that all the industries in our Yuanjiang County are working for the imperial court's Daqian Chamber of Commerce. The Lin family in Qingzhou pieced together the rights to sell sanitary napkins last time. After paying 30 taels of silver, I took it."

"But that's an extra convenient door opened by the imperial court for you businessmen. This underwear is different this time."

"The boss has spoken. The low price for the sales rights this time is at least 50 taels. Bidding will be open in our Yuanjiang County in a month. It is not easy for you to take it now."

Zhang Quan was stunned, the base price was actually as high as 50 taels!
Last time, he had the idea of ​​selling Yuanjiang sanitary napkins, but he gave up because the price was too high.

The Lin family of Qingzhou paid a price that was unparalleled among the others and won it in one fell swoop.

Facts have proved that I was short-sighted at that time. In the past two years, the man surnamed Lin made a lot of money by selling sanitary napkins for a few pennies a piece, and his business went to Qi and Zhou. They got their money back.

Thinking of this right, he immediately said: "Master Gao, you just said that the bidding for underwear sales rights will not start until a month later, right?"

Gao Quan hummed and patted his shoulder and said: "You still have time, if you are interested, then go and collect money. This underwear is different from sanitary napkins that cost a few pennies a piece. The ones with fine workmanship cost three or four cents." The two pieces of silver can even be specially provided to those rich and noble ladies in the future. I have given you the opportunity. Whether you can seize it or not is your own business."

Zhang Quan immediately expressed gratitude and said, "Don't worry, Master Gao. I will remember it."

After he left, Gao Quan received several waves of businessmen in succession, and it was not until evening that he finished his work.

Unlike other technical products in Yuanjiang County, textiles such as menstrual cloth and underwear and bras can be produced by some cloth shops.

Therefore, Yuanjiang County directly monopolized it and severely cracked down on piracy, and private businessmen did not dare to say anything.

After all, Yuanjiang County holds an official title.
