"Cheap, cheap. Even the daily necessities are cheap."
In the warehouse area of the southern part of the city, a group of people stood at the open doors of the warehouses and shouted.
The people who opened general stores in the city ran to the place first. There were also merchants who prepared to buy a cape and send it to the other counties.
The commoners naturally joined in the fun. Some commoners asked loudly, "Can we buy it?"
"Yes, but the price will be slightly higher than the wholesale price. However, it will be cheaper than the wholesale price. Our Skycloud Trading Firm has too many goods, so we have no choice but to lower the price."
The person in charge also shouted.
The prices of all kinds of goods were indeed low. The retail price in the hands of ordinary people was even lower than the purchase price of the shops in Chang 'an.
This was what Li Yi meant when he said that he would give the commoners a one-time benefit. Just once. After winter, he would not provide any more.
Most of the goods provided now were imported from Luoyang.
The Li Family Zhuangzi wouldn't be able to earn much from the overstocked goods in Henan after deducting the transportation fees.
However, he didn't sell them under the Li Family Zhuangzi's name. Instead, he established the Heavenly Clouds Trading Company.
The citizens of the other counties had seen the advertisements in the newspapers early in the morning and had already organized people to set off from their villages and counties.
There were people from the grocery store and ordinary people who wanted to buy together with their neighbors.
"Recycling the thermal paste, 10 RMB for one. Used thermal paste can be exchanged for 2 RMB. It's in the warehouse area." Another commoner saw the contents of the newspaper and helped to spread the news.
The commoners only wanted to look at it. No one wanted to buy it. If they bought it for ten coins, they could exchange it for two coins after using it. Eight coins was still expensive, so they couldn't afford it.
Only rich people would buy them so that they could show off at gatherings.
"In the future, it will be used by the military. The activated charcoal and iron powder inside can be processed later. It's time to get the Gold Buddha statues back. If Shengxu Pawnshop can't give them back, they will have to pay three thousand gold coins. "
Li Yi held a warm sticker in his hand. It was wrapped in a glued cloth bag. There was a spot on one side of the cloth bag that was not glued, so there was an extra layer of oiled paper.
When the oil paper was torn off, air entered and began the oxidation reaction. The temperature rose, and when the reaction ended, it would be useless.
Not counting the technical cost of the activated carbon, just the cost of the materials, a heating allowance cost four yuan.
The iron powder was real iron powder. There were also stones, bamboo wood powder, and salt produced in Lantian County.
The main body of the oxidation reaction was iron powder, and the rest were catalysts and stabilizers.
…
In Sheng Xu Grocery Store, Shopkeeper Jiang was in a terrible fix.
He knew that he had been tricked. There was no need to pay the 1,500 yuan deposit. No one would buy it.
The one hundred thousand warm stickers that he had spent five thousand yuan on were now useless. The price had dropped to ten yuan each. He had to compete with others. He could only afford nine yuan.
If he sold one, he would lose 26 coins. If he sold one hundred thousand, he would lose 2600 coins. Oh god, he was going to die.
"What does the Heavenly Cloud Trading Company do? Did Sheng Xu offend them? The price of the groceries was even lower than the price I paid for them. How long would it take for the items to be stored in the store? We still have to pay taxes. "
Shopkeeper Jiang understood that he was being targeted. Regardless of whether it was the warm paste or the daily necessities, they were all targeted at the shop.
"Go and sell warm plasters. Five coins for one. Also, the shop's groceries are 20% cheaper than the Heavenly Clouds Trading Firm."
Shopkeeper Jiang's orders made his heart bleed.
"Boss, this …" The shop assistant had been with the Jiang family since he was young, so he was reluctant to part with them.
"Of course, if you don't sell, how are you going to get money from the middleman? Don't worry, I'll sell a portion of it. As long as I return the money to the broker, I'll still have my foundation.
There was also land, houses, and goods from the shops. Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. "
At this moment, Shopkeeper Jiang's whole body was numb and his hands were trembling slightly.
"Is Shopkeeper Jiang here? Oh, Shopkeeper Jiang is here. That's great. I'm here to redeem my Buddha. Gold Buddha. Here's the money. "
A man came in. It was the man who pawned the Gold Buddha the other day.
Many people followed behind him. He was holding the pawned contract in his hand.
"Shopkeeper Jiang, 101 coins and 800 coins. Three days of capital plus interest. Take a look." The man handed over the money.
"Oh, okay. Don't you want to borrow it for a few more days?"
Shopkeeper Jiang showed a regretful look. He hoped that the man couldn't pay back the money. The holy water, lotus throne, Sky Mirror, and Gold Buddha would be his.
"No. If you have the money, hurry up and take it back. It's a family heirloom. If my father finds out, he'll be furious."
The young man shook his head with a smile.
"Okay." Shopkeeper Jiang nodded helplessly. He ordered the man, "Take out the Gold Buddha and holy water."
The man ran to the back. He had to open several locks.
Everyone waited for a while, but the man didn't come out.
The young man looked at Shopkeeper Jiang, wondering what was wrong.
"Xiao Lu, take it out." Shopkeeper Jiang was annoyed. He shouted directly.
The man walked out helplessly with a box in his hand. He opened the box, revealing the contents.
The glass bottle was still a glass bottle. There was a big hole in the middle of the lotus throne. The mirror was broken into pieces by the holy water below. The Gold Buddha was gone.
The color of the holy water was muddy. It wasn't as clear as the day before.
"How … how did this happen? My Gold Buddha, Sky Mirror, Holy Water, Lotus Throne, why? Shopkeeper Jiang. "The young man opened his eyes wide and asked in disbelief.
"Xiao Lu." Shopkeeper Jiang also opened his eyes wide.
"I, I don't know. When I went to take a look, it was already like this. I didn't take it. I don't have anything on me."
Xiao Lu was so anxious that he was about to cry.
"Shopkeeper Jiang, what did you do to my Gold Buddha, Sky Mirror, and Lotus Throne? It's written on the pawned contract. Three thousand coins. Take the items. Otherwise, take the money. "
The young man suddenly turned hostile. The people he brought started to draw their swords.
Shopkeeper Jiang looked at the young man and then at the glass bottle. He pointed at the young man, "You … you …"
Before he could finish his words, he fell backward.
"Boss, boss." Xiao Lu rushed forward and pinched his philtrum and chest.
Later, he thought of something and pressed his hand on Shopkeeper Jiang's chest. Before he could blow, Shopkeeper Jiang woke up by himself.
He lay on the ground and looked at the young man, "Did my Jiang family offend your family?"
"Shopkeeper Jiang, what are you talking about? There were scriptures on my Gold Buddha. Now that it's gone, how do you want me to explain it to my father? "The young man started to beat his chest and stomp his feet.
Shopkeeper Jiang lay there and looked up at the shed. His face was pale.
Xiao Lu's tears fell down. The other workers also came out and glared at the young man.
"Why are you blaming me? I was short of money and came to pawn it. You lost it. What does it have to do with me? "
The young man glared back. The people he brought had already drawn their swords. They were all standard Tang Heng swords.
Shopkeeper Jiang turned his head again and looked at the swords. He gasped for breath, "Can you give me a few more days? Three thousand coins. Compensate! There's no need to go to the court. "
"What are you saying? If I came a few days later to pay the money, my death would be over. Shopkeeper Jiang, can you give me a few more days? You and I both know how much the Gold Buddha is worth. Three thousand coins is not expensive."
The young man sneered and firmly refused. If he couldn't do it, he would go to the court.
"Are you going to force my Jiang family to death? Do you know that there's someone behind my Jiang family? "Shopkeeper Jiang sat up.
"When your Jiang family forced others, did you think that you would force them to death? Did you think about whether there's someone behind them? "The young man continued to sneer.
"You … you are …"
"Boss, boss, wake up." The worker went to save Shopkeeper Jiang, who had fainted again.
