I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

Under the interference of the Xu family and many other forces, in the end the soldiers were unable to intercept the batch of perfume soaps.

When this batch of goods was delivered to the store, the outside of the store was already full of customers waiting to snap up.

The name of perfume soap has long spread all over the country, and spread to the whole land of China.

This kind of thing that is used even by the Queen Mother today is extremely attractive to ordinary women.

The female relatives of those wealthy merchants have long been inseparable from perfumes and soaps, as well as oversized vanity mirrors.

They used to be very satisfied when they could see a clear head portrait, but when they learned of the floor-to-ceiling mirror that could take the whole person in, these female relatives were moved again.

Women, there is no rest in the pursuit of beauty.

Especially in this era when the status of women is very low, beauty is almost their only capital.

These floor-to-ceiling mirrors, which are nearly two meters high, cost a lot of money on each side, and the number is rare. Being able to buy such a mirror is not only to better appreciate and dress up yourself, but more importantly, to satisfy your desire for comparison.

Humans rely on comparison to obtain happiness. Only when one has a better life than others can one have a sense of happiness.

An ordinary family in later generations, with a TV, refrigerator, air conditioner, and a car or plane, has a material living condition that is hundreds of times better than that of any wealthy businessman in ancient times, but is his sense of happiness as strong as that of the wealthy businessman? Absolutely impossible.

The very simple reason is that in later generations, almost every household has a TV and refrigerator, and very few people will feel happy because of these things. In ancient times, ordinary people could not even eat enough to eat, and those wealthy businessmen who could often eat meat would naturally feel happy.

Comparing is human nature.

Chen Daolin has grasped this weakness of human nature very well, and divided it into three levels in the newly launched fragrance.

The last is the low-grade perfume, each bottle only needs 12 taels of silver, this specification, ordinary merchant families, small landlord families can afford to use it.

For medium-level top-grade perfumes, each bottle costs 32 taels. This must be a little rich family, will be willing to buy.

But there is not much difference between high-grade perfume and low-grade perfume. It is nothing more than that the bottle used for high-grade perfume is more delicate and beautiful, and then the fragrance of perfume is more pure.

Although there is a gap between the two, the gap is not as big as 12 taels and 30 taels.

The cost of a bottle of top-grade perfume is at most about 50% higher than that of low-grade perfume.

More exaggerated is the best perfume, these are about equal to the later generations of Chanel, lv, Rolls-Royce, is the king of luxury goods. A bottle of superb perfume costs one hundred taels of silver.

In fact, those who buy this superb perfume also know that the little perfume inside is not worth so much money.

But, what does it matter, they just bought this face.

You must know that in the propaganda of the Chen family, there are strict regulations on the annual output of the best perfumes. Each bottle is engraved with a serial number, and each bottle is unique.

For example, the best perfumes allocated to Xuzhou this time, there are only ten bottles in total.

These ten bottles of perfume were sold out as soon as they were launched, and other people who still wanted to buy them could only stare blankly.

Soon, these ten bottles of the best perfume were fired to 200 taels a bottle.

Also, you don't have to worry about no one buying it at all.

A Xuzhou is not small, there are three high-ranking officials above the third rank, seven or eight high-ranking officials above the fourth rank, plus a dozen wealthy businessmen worth hundreds of thousands.

These ten bottles of the best perfume are simply not enough.

In order to buy a bottle of the best perfume for his wife, Governor Liu did not hesitate to turn to the Xu family for help.

If the female relatives of the other three-rank officials are all wearing top-quality perfumes, and their female relatives only use top-grade perfumes, then when the female relatives gather, they must have no face.

It's just embarrassing, but it's easy to give others the impression that he, Governor Liu's methods and abilities are not good.

Otherwise, why can other three-rank officials get the best perfume, but he can't.

When a commodity is endowed with many meanings, the value of its commodity can easily become unimaginable.

The luxury products of later generations are basically the same.

In Beijing, this comparison is even more serious.

Today, the dignitaries in the capital are proud to use southern goods.

It's not just for face, but the southern goods are really easy to use.

For example, the pendulum clock used to tell the time is much more accurate than those hourglasses, coronas, etc., and it is also beautiful and convenient.

These pendulum clocks have the function of telling the time, and every hour on the hour, they can remind the time.

In a big family, there is a pendulum clock like this, so it is not easy to miss the time when cooking and eating.

For those masters, with this pendulum clock, it is even more difficult to make mistakes. A beautiful pendulum clock can be placed in the lobby of the home, and it is also very stylish. In short, there are many benefits.

In addition to the pendulum clock, there are mirrors, which are also important for those big shots.

When they go to court or go out to visit friends, appearance is very important. In the past, the bronze mirror could only see a vague shadow, and there is no mirror like the current one that can clearly see people.

Of course, the most popular southern goods in Beijing are BMWs.

This kind of BMW car, which is extremely comfortable to sit and has no bumps, is the favorite of those old officials.

Today's BMW cars are in Beijing

It has been sold for a sky-high price of 5,000 taels, and there is still no market for it.

BMW's production is limited, and even the southern market is not able to supply it.

If it weren't for the high price of 5,000 taels that could be sold in Beijing, the Tong family would be lazy to transport BMWs to Beijing for sale.

The first batch of BMW cars shipped was only 50, and they had already been snapped up by dignitaries.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs alone, which was in charge of purchasing the palace, snapped up five cars for use by the Queen Mother and others.

Other princes and nobles, six ministers, one car per person is gone, and many princes and nobles have not even been allocated.

Five thousand taels is a sky-high price for ordinary people, but for those real dignitaries, it is just a piece of cake.

But now Beijing has gathered a large number of Manchu nobles and important officials of the imperial court. These people's spending power is very terrifying.

Now in Nanjing, because the number of BMW cars has increased, riding a BMW car does not mean much.

In Beijing, the situation in early Nanjing is replicated here, and riding a BMW is a status symbol.

As long as you can travel in a BMW car, others will know that the owner of this car is either a prince or a cabinet minister, and his position in the capital can be ranked in the top 50.

Not particularly accurate, but not by much.
