Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

Page 1937

The current Guo Ye, in terms of money, has a net worth of tens of millions, which cannot be spent in more than ten lifetimes.In terms of women, the wives and concubines in the family are all stunning beauties, and they were almost overwhelmed with their busy schedule a few days ago.In terms of power, there are only a handful of people in Datang who are more powerful than him.

When it comes to this, what Guo Ye pursues is to change the world and history.

He has changed a lot in history. As for changing the world, he started with soap and perfume.

Now in Chang'an City, who doesn't know these two things?

Although both of these things are expensive.A small bottle of perfume would cost a month's salary of a fifth-rank official, but it was still sought after by countless women.

Ladies regard perfume and soap as the supreme weapon to increase the interest of husband and wife, and Miss Qianjin regards them as a symbol of fashion.

As for the girls in the brothel, after using them, the funds for spending the night will be doubled immediately!

In fact, there are not only women but also men who pursue these two things.

Men use soap, of course, for bathing.

As for the perfume...they drank it!

These days, it's all low-alcohol wine, and it's not bad if it can be one or twenty degrees.The main ingredient of the perfume is high alcohol, which fills the gap in the market and really suits the tastes of many people.

I don't know who discovered this secret, and they regarded the perfume as a fine wine, and even named the perfume "Hundred Flower Immortal Wine".With the spread of this title, it has become a secret that perfume can be drunk.

When Guo Ye heard the news, he really couldn't laugh or cry.

However, fortunately, this is only a very basic perfume, and all the raw materials are edible, and drinking it should not do any harm to the body.

If the legend of "Hundred Flower Immortal Wine" is reasonable, then other legends are somewhat nonsensical.

There are rumors that after wearing perfume, couples without heirs can have a baby early!It is also said that perfume contains the essence of hundreds of flowers, and long-term use can prolong life and immortality.

What's even more outrageous is that some people claim that drinking perfume can cure all diseases!

This is not possible. If you are sick and don't go to see a doctor, isn't that killing people?Guo Ye quickly refuted the rumors.

However, the effect of dispelling rumors is not very good.

The crux of the matter is that the reason soap and perfume have so many fantastic legends is because they are in short supply!

Although Guo Ye had stored a large amount of sweet-scented osmanthus and chrysanthemums in advance, it was winter now, and there were only useful ones and no supplements.In order to ensure continuous stock, the daily production of perfume and soap must be limited.

Coupled with the fact that perfumes and soaps have been developed for so many purposes, how can they meet the needs of the market?

Distance produces beauty, and people are naturally full of wonderful imaginations about things they cannot see.

Coupled with the fact that they couldn’t buy it later, they even regarded Guo Ye’s refutation of the rumors as a huge conspiracy—Qin Guogong deliberately said that the perfume was not good, and he planned to sell all the perfumes to high-ranking officials and relatives, not to ordinary people like us. !

Guo Ye really couldn't argue with this.

In addition to the above impact, this incident also caused a good or bad impact on Guo Ye.

This influence is that Xiao Ting and his wife reconciled.

Xiao Ting is the Er'er character of Xiao Yu, the right servant of the original Shangshu, and Guo Ye's enemy.Of course, after Xiao Yu was driven to Lingnan to eat lychees by His Majesty Li Er, he was no longer afraid of threats to Guo Ye.

Xiao Ting's wife is Princess Xiangcheng, the eldest daughter of His Majesty Li Er.

His Majesty Li Er did not let him and his father be sent to Lingnan for the sake of his lord.

It is said that Princess Xiangcheng is very virtuous.

Even if other princesses get married, they will live in the princess mansion built by the imperial court.But she took the initiative to ask not to build a princess mansion, but to live in her husband's house.

After Xiao Yu was dismissed by His Majesty Li Er, Xiao Ting was upset and beat and scolded Duke Xiangcheng frequently.And her?But he accepted it and never complained to His Majesty Li Er.

Now, she took the initiative to make peace with Xiao Ting.

Perfume plays an important role here.

It turns out that although Princess Xiangcheng is extremely beautiful, she has the same shortcoming as Concubine Yang—body odor.For this reason, she has a very low self-esteem, and has developed a cautious and submissive character.His Majesty Li Er has always hated her misfortune for what happened to her, and was angry with her.

Later, it was precisely because of the perfume that Princess Xiangcheng regained her confidence and resolutely reconciled with Xiao Ting.

On the day His Majesty Li Er knew about her decision, he asked Guo Ye for ten bottles of perfume and drank them all in one gulp.And personally mentioned the four words "Nine Heavens Immortal Dew" and gave it to Guo Ye's perfume workshop.

Since then, the perfume, also known as Jiutian Xianlu, has become more and more famous!Countless people are looking forward to it, wanting to know how miraculous this treasure that changed the fate of Princess Datang is.

Time flies, a month has passed, and the banks of the five noble clans have opened!

Standing in front of the headquarters of Changlefang Big Bank, Guo Ye looked at the people lined up in front of him, waiting to receive perfume gifts, and secretly said in his heart, Zhang Liang, the five great gentry, if you don’t die, you won’t die, why don’t you know? ?

Chapter 1786 The first day of the business war

The new bank opened by the Anti-Guo Industry Alliance is called Wude Bank.

Chang'an City has a total of 110 squares and two cities.Therefore, Wude Bank opened a total of 110 semicolons.As for the headquarters, it is only one street away from the headquarters of Changlefang Big Bank, which looks a bit tit-for-tat.

Among the owners of Wude Bank, if anyone is most concerned about the success or failure of this business, it must be Cen Wenwen.

No way, his strength is the weakest.

After signing the contract with Li Quan, as long as the bank loses [-]%, the money he invested will be over.If he continues to lose money, he has to sell his property to make up for Li Quan's loss.

If the loss reaches [-]%, then the dignified Zhongshu Shilang will be worthless.

"Folks, come and take a look. You don't need to buy good glazed plates and bowls. You just need to save money and you can take them home. If you save a hundred coins, you can get a glazed plate. Even if you buy it, it's not so good. price!"

"Don't miss it when you pass by, as long as you come to our Wude Big Bank and save more than [-] Guan, all glassware will be [-]% off!"

"Great reward for the opening, if you save more than ten pennies, you will get a glass ball for free! Save more, get more!"

The guys beat the gongs and drums, shouting until their voices became hoarse, but as a result, the guests who came came chatted very little!

Cen Wenwen walked back and forth in front of the Wude Big Bank like an anxious monkey, urging him constantly, "Speak up! Loud up, what's the matter if you haven't eaten?"

"Don't just shout at our door, go to other streets as well. You'd better go to the gate of Changlefang Daqianzhuang to attract people for me!"

"Stay calm, I've neglected the guests, I only ask you!"

At this moment, a group of people came along the street, but they turned out to be the Patriarch of the Five Great Gentlemen, Duke Xun Zhang Liang, and King Qi Liyou.

Zhang Liang heard Cen Wenwen yelling endlessly from afar, and said with a frown, "Cen Shilang, please respect your status. The dignified Zhongshu Shilang is shouting like a villager in the market, how decent it is!"

"Aren't I in a hurry? Why don't we have any customers when we invest such a large amount of money in it?"

"Why are you so confused? We are a bank, not a wine shop. How could there be a lot of guests all day? That's too exaggerated! There are few customers now, which is normal, completely normal."

Only then did Cen Wenwen carelessly wipe the sweat off his forehead, and said: "I have never done business, so I really didn't expect this. I have been taught! I have been taught! In this case, let's go to the store to talk, drink and drink chat."
