Chapter 290 The Empress’ Shopping Experience

One month later.

Wanbao Building was completed.

It was completed at the speed of light, with a floor being built every two or three days, and countless people were stunned to see it.

Moreover, the whole structure is made of reinforced concrete with high-strength glass on the surface. It is very strong and strong. Even if it encounters a violent impact, it will not be damaged at all.

Then it took another two or three days to fill the Wanbao Building with a lot of products and visit the shelves.

As for the internal air conditioning, elevators, lighting, toilets, restaurants, warehouses, parking lots and other facilities, they are all fully equipped and complete, allowing customers to get the best shopping experience. They are no different from modern shopping malls. , the purpose is to improve the efficiency and convenience of shopping.

There is also a special currency exchange area. The gold, silver and other hard currencies held by the guests will be tested for their gold and silver content, their actual value will be confirmed, and then converted into banknotes of the same face value but well-made and difficult to be counterfeited. Finally, You can experience the satisfaction and happiness brought by shopping.

We also launched a series of opening promotions.

For example, for the first three days, enjoy a 50% discount on the entire store.

From the fourth to the tenth day, you can enjoy a 30% discount for a week.

The latter is that only users who apply for a membership card can enjoy the benefits brought by membership.

This morning.

After some grand publicity.

The 'Wanbao Building' of the Azure Chamber of Commerce announced its official opening, and immediately a large number of people from the capital flocked to this Wanbao Building out of curiosity, wanting to go in and see what products were worth buying inside.

One hundred thousand people.

The first batch of customers who poured in probably numbered around 100,000 people, and there were countless people in Wuyangyang. However, the 'Wanbao Building' covers an area of ​​nearly 100 acres, with ten floors from top to bottom, and an internal area of ​​nearly one million square meters. meters, it can still easily accommodate a mere 100,000 customers.

The young man, Abao, is a native of Beijing. He is 21 years old this year. He has no fixed occupation. He mainly runs errands, intermediaries and does odd jobs. Occasionally he also does some manual labor. His income is not very stable and he is doing well in his life. At that time, I could earn three to four thousand cash per month. When the year was not so good, I could only earn around one thousand cash. However, the prices in Beijing were very high, housing prices were even higher, and the cost of living was very high. Even if I was frugal everywhere, He can only barely make ends meet. As for marrying a wife and having children, there is no need to think about it. It is good if he can take care of himself. And there are many singles like him who are faced with the problem of finding a partner, and those women of the right age , would rather be the concubine of a rich man than live with a poor man like him, with little hope of starting a family.

This morning, Abao received orders and tasks from several merchants, asking him to go inside the newly opened 'Wanbao Building' and take a closer look to see what was inside and what the outside merchants were. What kind of tricks are they doing? Will it have a huge impact on their interests?

soon.

Abao, who was very flexible, passed the security check and entered the interior of Wanbao Building.

When I saw the countless kinds of products on the shelves, I was stunned.

many.

There are just too many things in there.

Almost everything.

There are also some things that I have never seen before.

Secondly, the price is quite attractive, which makes him feel unbelievable.

For example, the price of Bai Huahua rice in rice shops in the capital is at least three hundred cents per dou (twenty kilograms), which means that every kilogram of rice costs fifteen cents. However, the rice in it is only one dou (twenty kilograms). One hundred yuan (one piece = one article), the price is only one-third, and considering the 50% discount for the first three days, wouldn't it mean that a bucket of rice only costs only 50 articles, a difference of six times?

The price that originally could only buy one bucket of rice has now changed to six buckets. This Wanbao Tower is simply crazy. It is estimated that it will not even be able to recover the capital, and will lose everything.

There is also very finely ground wheat flour, which is cheaper. Whether it is made into noodles, steamed buns or other staple foods, it is the food that the poor are most willing to eat. It used to be very coarse and difficult to swallow, but it is ground to such a fine level. , have become easier to digest, and the price is as low as eighty cents per bucket. After discounts, it only costs forty cents. Oh my god, the young man Bao can't wait to take out the money in his pocket and buy something cheap. The rice noodles go back.

And some customers have already begun to take action. They are all asking for plastic packaging, and they are frantically moving rice and wheat flour. They are afraid that if they are too late, the rice and noodles will be snatched away by others.

But considering that he was tasked with investigating, if he could successfully complete it, he would receive a total of nearly a thousand yuan in hard work fees. He still planned to complete the task first, and then buy the things he needed most.

In the food area, most of the food prices are only half to one-third of those outside Wanbao Building. They have simply fallen below the cost line. It is impossible to make money. The first thought that flashes in the minds of many customers is this. The 'Wanbao Tower' is going to suffer a big loss. It is spending money and doing good deeds to gain fame, and it is benevolence to the people to win over the people. However, there are too many people in the capital. When the Wanbao Tower is completed, it is estimated that it will not be far from Bai Guang's family.

In addition, there was also a price of food that made the young man Abao feel unbelievable. He wiped his eyes hard a dozen times, but he always felt that there must be one or two zeros missing. It was so cheap that he thought it was an illusion. He wished he could snap them all up and sell them outside. He would probably make money that he had never imagined before.

Salt.

Snow salt that is as white as snow and as fine as sand without any impurities.

As long as you pay two yuan (wen) for a bag weighing 250 grams, that is, half a catty, five yuan can buy three bags, and ten yuan can buy six bags, or ten yuan for three kilograms, and you can buy pure taste. There are no impurities, the salty taste is very good, and there is no bitter or fishy snow salt.

The well salt they usually buy not only has a lot of impurities, is not the right color, is mixed with various kinds of sand and gravel, and tastes bitter, but the price is 100 Wen per pound, which is a sky-high price. Compared with the ones sold by 'Wanbaolou', they are beautifully packaged and easy to carry. The difference in snow salt is thirty times.

Thirty times the price!

Wanbaolou's snow salt is also superior and inferior in terms of quality. As long as there is no brain problem, everyone knows where to buy salt.

Rob.

Grabbing like crazy.

The young man Abao noticed that just because he was surprised by the astonishingly low price of 'Snow Salt', countless people were crazy about buying five bags, ten bags, and twenty bags. Even if they took hundreds of bags, It is reasonable to say that there is more food than can be eaten in a lifetime, but there are still many customers who are still eager to take it all away, and they are also fighting with each other fiercely, for fear that Wanbaolou's insufficient inventory of goods will delay their fortune.

Yes, these customers are tempted to buy and resell. As long as they carry the refined snow salt in Wanbao Building outside for sale, even if the price of each bag of salt is only increased by five times to ten cents, it is still an extremely cost-effective deal, and there must be someone who can sell it. If you are willing to pay this price and buy it with great excitement, even if you have more than you can eat, you can continue to resell it. Even if it goes up several times, you don't have to worry about getting such good snow salt in your hands.

So the young man Abao also risked being squeezed into a pie, grabbed several bags of snow salt, and stuffed it into his pocket. He was very happy, thinking that if he could resell it, he could make at least a hundred yuan.

But he just smiled for a while.

There were many more exclamations.

"The kitchen knives here are so cheap. They only cost 20 cents each, which is only one-tenth of the price outside. Moreover, the knives are thin and sharp and can cut iron like clay. They are actually made of hundreds of steel, and the material is no worse than the best weapons. It’s just used as a kitchen knife, it’s such a waste, why not let me buy it back, melt it, make it into the best samurai sword, and then sell it for tens of thousands of taels, there’s absolutely no problem with that.”

"What, kitchen knives are all made of hundred-refined steel? This Wanbao Building is too luxurious, the price is still so cheap, no, I want to buy all these kitchen knives back, these high-quality materials are more than this price, this Wanbao Tower sells treasures for dirt.”

"I've also taken a liking to these kitchen knives, don't grab them from me!" A group of customers began to scramble for the kitchen knives like crazy. They were so anxious that they almost started chopping each other with the kitchen knives.

"Hahaha, you idiots, what's the point of grabbing a kitchen knife? Look at the iron pot here. An iron pot uses several kilograms of good iron. The price is only fifty cents a piece. It's obviously a great deal to buy a kitchen knife. Instead of grabbing kitchen knives, it’s better to buy a few more iron pots and take them home.”

"It makes sense. These iron pots are made of high-quality iron and have enough materials. We should abandon the kitchen knives and buy iron pots!"

Wow!

Immediately, countless customers dropped their kitchen knives and snatched away the iron pots.

But on the third floor of Wanbao Building, there were countless customers who threw away all the goods in their hands and frantically competed for batches of exquisitely crafted cloths. The competition reached a fever pitch.

Because the price-performance ratio of buying cloth is almost extremely high.

"Such a batch of cotton cloth is five feet long, which is two feet longer than the three-foot-three pieces sold in silk and satin shops outside. Not to mention, the price is even cheaper, only 150 yuan. The cheapest cloth outside It costs 1,500 Wen, and 150 Wen can’t even afford the raw materials for spinning. The price here is only one-tenth of the price, and the quality is even better. Whether it is pattern, toughness, or comfort, it far exceeds the fabrics outside. Buy To buy, you have to buy in large quantities and then make them into clothes, at least you can make several times the profit.”

"Don't snatch it from me. These pieces of cloth belong to me. My family's conditions are very difficult and we have to live hand to mouth. It's extremely difficult. This is an easy way to survive. Please, please give me a way to survive." This man with a disheveled face said The woman begged.

"Your family's conditions are not good, but mine has it easy? I have five children to raise, and I don't even have enough to eat a few times a year. Why can't you be considerate of me and give me some way to survive?"

"There is no need for everyone to grab it. The guys from Wanbaolou said that they can supply unlimited amounts of fabrics. They won't just sell them for one day. Today's fabrics are sold out and there will be new ones tomorrow. The price remains the same and everyone can get it." Want a way to survive.”

"Okay, this is great. As long as Wanbao Tower doesn't collapse, we have hope of survival, hahaha~"

Three days in a row.

During the 50% discount promotion period.

Wanbaolou sold countless amounts of rice and grain.

A large amount of cheap salt, sugar and alcohol were sold.

Millions of pieces of high-quality cotton cloth were sold. Every middle- and lower-class woman in the capital bought a lot of them and took them home, and made huge profits from them.

Prices in all walks of life in the capital have even dropped significantly, arousing the hatred of countless local businessmen. Some businessmen, in desperation, had no choice but to collude with some evil forces and launch an attack on Wanbao Tower. However, They all ended in failure, because neither setting fires nor sending thugs to kill had any effect. After suffering a counterattack, the losses were extremely heavy, leaving corpses on the ground.

Therefore, tens of thousands of large and small businesses in the capital have become the biggest victims of the rise of Wanbao Tower and the most frustrated group.

However, there are also a small number of businessmen who, seeing that they cannot do Wanbao Tower, simply change their thinking and send people to Wanbao Tower to purchase large quantities of cheap and cost-effective goods, and then resell them to places outside the capital for a slight increase in price. After selling three or four times, the sales volume was actually very hot and the profit was huge. Instead, I gradually sided with Wanbao Building. I hope that Wanbao Building can be opened and operated as long as possible, especially the several artifacts in Wanbao Building. It has aroused the pursuit of countless people and crazy purchases, which contains great benefits.

For example, one of the artifacts is the 'solar flashlight'. As long as you put this flashlight in the sun for a day every day, it can illuminate for a long time at night. It has good brightness and is very easy to use. At least it is thousands of miles better than those candles.

Another example is the artifact's 'diesel pump'. This device, coupled with those long hoses, can pump water from low-lying areas to higher areas to irrigate farmland. All it takes is a pump. About a hundred acres can be irrigated in one day, and the effect exceeds that of thousands of manpower. The price of the water pump is not expensive, and diesel can also be used, which is not very expensive. The increase in agricultural production is indeed very considerable. In addition, With the use of improved seeds, chemical fertilizers, and pesticides, it is not an exaggeration to triple agricultural production.

There is also a magical thing called a 'glider', which is also powered by a diesel engine, but can carry two people up to an altitude of hundreds of meters and fly at a high speed. It can run thousands of kilometers a day without any problem. It is in the field of transportation. It is magical and has a load capacity of hundreds of kilograms, playing a role that exceeds that of a thousand-mile horse.

There are countless other miracles and so on. There are so many that consumers can study and use them for a long time.

slowly.

Wanbaolou has some supporters.

The force of opposition is still very strong, especially in the imperial court of the Daji Empire. Every day, the voices of civil and military officials shouting and killing can be heard. Empress Wu Qingqiu intends to protect Wanbao Tower, but there are too many these extreme voices, and I couldn't help but murmur in my heart, and some thoughts were inclined to suppress it. After all, if Wanbao Tower continues to develop like this, the stability of the empire will be greatly affected.

But this day is October 20th.

Under the strong invitation from Li Lefan and others, as well as the promise of a permanent 50% discount on royal purchases.

Empress Wu Qingqiu also brought some attendants into the Wanbao Tower and started some shopping. She was immediately surprised by the countless products inside and had an unimaginable shopping experience.
