Chapter 182 Zhao Brothers (2) (Countdown 12)

Just the second day after the reopening of Shiweitian, Jubao Building, which had been closed for nearly a month, was reopened. To everyone's surprise, a new Jubao Building was also opened in Dongshi.

Unlike the one in the West City before, the reopened Jubao Building is no longer just an auction house, but has become a "department store" - this is the new name of Jubao Building, with its full name "Jubao Building Department Store".

What is even more surprising is that, it can be said that until today, only wealthy people such as princes and nobles could obtain through auctions. Since they are sold in these two "department stores", the price is... two-foot glass only costs fifty!

"Isn't the owner of this Jubao Building excited? Is it so cheap? Crystal glass is sold for so cheap?"

"It's better to see clearly before talking about it. Maybe there's something wrong with it!"

"Justower just now, I saw that Jubaoxuan is still auctioning glass, and the cheapest one is worth hundreds of cents. Isn't this Jubao Building deliberately attracting us to buy it at a low price to squeeze out the other side, right?"

"Well, it's very likely that the glass here will be sold for such a low price for no more than three days. If you want to buy it, buy it quickly!"

"Yes, buy it quickly, otherwise the price will rise again and you won't be able to buy it even if you want to!"

...

The people who entered Jubao Building at the first time did not pay attention to the other items sold in the building. They all gathered in front of the glass sales cabinets, and they "donated generously" and asked to buy glass!

The person in charge of this Jubao Building was also one of those sisters Li Chengqian recognized, named Xia Ru. Seeing this scene, he could only attract a male clerk beside him and whispered a few words. The latter then went to the glass container and shouted: "Everyone, please be quiet, please be quiet! The glass sold in this store is ordinary window glass, just like the glass installed on the windows there, so don't buy it blindly. Moreover, the price of glass in this store will be maintained at this price, and it will not rise back in a few days as you think, so please don't worry, you can buy glass at any time! There are other goods in this store, you can go and have a look!"

"Hmph, we believe it after you say it?"

"Yes, you definitely hope that everyone will buy less and reduce losses!"

"Yes, it must be like this. I'm going to buy glass. Do you guys sell it?"

"Yes, do you sell it?"

The male clerk looked helplessly at the back of the crowd. Xia Ru, who was standing on the stairs on the second floor, saw that the other party was also shook her head helplessly, and could only continue, "Okay, since you insist on buying glass, then buy it!"

After saying that, the male clerk left the counter, returned to Xia Ru, and said speechlessly: "Sister, why don't they believe me?"

Xia Ru was silent for a moment and replied: "This may be the contrast between the front and back of His Highness is too large, and people are unable to accept it for a while. Instead, they are more willing to believe what they think, not the facts!"

"We have prepared so much goods, but they don't even look at them. It's true!"

Indeed, as the clerk said, when Li Chengqian decided to transform food into a food city in later generations, he also thought about changing Jubaolou into a department store in later generations. After all, simply building an auction house is not a permanent solution, and glass cannot always be a "luxury"!

Therefore, the reopened Jubao Building, including the newly built Jubao Building, all adopt the model of later department stores.

In addition to the "fist product" glass, from jade and gold ware that only princes and nobles can use, to the fire, rice, oil and salt commonly used by ordinary people, the entire Jubao Building has everything. Li Chengqian moved all the things he could think of and in this era into Jubao Building. For this reason, the area of ​​the newly opened Jubao Building is more than twice as large as the original Jubao Building!

Similarly, as a discount for reopening, Jubaolou also has membership cards. Of course, it is not a lifetime free membership card like Shiweitian, but a shopping card that can enjoy a 30% discount for life!

Unfortunately, no one cares about it now and they are buying glass...

As the news of Jubaolou selling glass at a low price spread, those merchants who had nowhere to buy glass because Jubaoxuan were seized and had nowhere to buy glass, immediately ran over after learning that Jubaolou had reopened and sold glass at a very, very cheap price. This made the already popular Jubaolou glass sales counter even more squeezed and couldn't get into it!

...

Let’s not mention the matter of Jubao Building. In the Yingbin Building, the manager came back shortly after leaving the kitchen, and the shopkeeper followed him.

Seeing the shopkeeper, Zhao Er hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to apologize, "Sorry, the shopkeeper, my brother is too impulsive, sorry..."

However, the shopkeeper who used to greet him with a smile on his face waved his hands and interrupted him with a expressionless face, and said coldly: "Okay, don't explain, you pack up your things and leave. Our Yingbin Tower Temple is too small to accommodate you two great gods!"

"Sorry, the shopkeeper..." Zhao Er had already thought of this result, so he didn't say much, but just bowed to the shopkeeper and the manager to apologize.

But Zhao Hanzi said unhappily: "What about our monthly wages? Pay the wages for us!"

"Haha, do you still want wages? I didn't send you to see the official directly because your brother has performed well during this period!"

"you……"

"Okay, brother, let's go!"

"No, I have half a month's salary..."

"I beg you, let's go!"

"Erlang, don't pull me. If you don't pay the wages, be careful that I will set the torch and burn you here...Don't pull me, I..."

Looking at Zhao Hanzi who was forcibly pulled away from the restaurant by Zhao Er, the shopkeeper snorted coldly: "Hmph, what a fool!" He didn't take Zhao Hanzi's threat to heart at all!

Zhao Hanzi was pulled away from the restaurant and came to the street by his younger brother. Finally, he tried hard to shake off his brother's hand and shouted: "Erlang, what are you doing? We have not paid half a month's salary, and we have more than ten coins in total. What do you think you are so timid? You have to reason with everything. Why don't they give us money when we work and get the salary?"

Zhao Er looked at his elder brother with a little discouraged look, "You beat someone, what if they really report to the official?"

"If you report to the official, you will report to the official! He scolded me first!"

"The government will care about who scolds people? They will only see who takes action first!"

"So what? At worst, I can stay in prison for a few days, as long as I can pay the more than ten chunks of wages..."

"Brother, can you think about it? Yingbinlou dares to fight against His Royal Highness's Prince's Shi Weitian. Can they have no background? Will you have good results when you arrive at the government?"

Zhao Hanzi was stunned for a moment, then said embarrassedly: "Then, you can't just leave empty-handed. If you leave here, where can we make so much money..."

"Oh..." Zhao Er shook his head and sighed, ignoring his elder brother, and walked towards the rented house of his family.
