Chapter 141: Perfume
Since their introduction in the last draw, the banknotes have been quickly accepted by naturalized citizens, and although they are not available outside of the Port of Oriente, they are unimpeded in the local area, and the Senate has always recognized the value of the banknotes. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 From the very beginning, the financial sector has promoted the use of this currency in all Senate industries, and has also promoted some preferential activities among traders who trade with paper money, such as reducing part of the fire consumption if you exchange loose silver for paper money, or using paper money to trade on the exchange can be discounted by 98%, etc., which immediately made those natives who had a wait-and-see attitude towards paper money immediately change their position and start to try paper money.
After a period of use, they also quickly discovered the advantages of paper money. The Wu Dynasty was not without paper money, and the ancients did not all trade items with silver to run around, many of them deposited silver in the bank, and then traded with the silver bills of the bank, and these bills were generally directly imaged as silver bills. But silver tickets and paper money are two different things. The first is the issuing unit, the banknote is issued by the National Bank, and has a legal value throughout the country, while the silver ticket is issued by the bank, and the value of the silver ticket can only have value according to the distribution of the bank, otherwise it is waste paper; Second, although the printing of silver tickets is more exquisite, and the paper also has certain requirements, as long as you have the heart, you must be able to find suitable materials to print silver tickets privately. Even withdrawals can be made by forging signatures and stamps. Therefore, although the silver ticket is easy to carry, the user still does not fully trust it. But the Senate's "lace paper" is different, the face value of these banknotes is more complicated, from one cent to ten yuan, and the paper used is special, the local aborigines can not imitate it at all, and the printing capacity of the financial mouth money printing machine far exceeds all the printing levels of this time and space, plus the watermark, the aborigines can not imitate at all, so the naturalized people are now not too particular about whether to use lace or lace paper.
However, the head of the stall in front of him, these natives are still a little timid, you must know that when the Wu Dynasty was founded, it issued Dawu treasure banknotes, but even if it was to pay taxes, the government did not want it, and it soon became waste paper, which directly damaged the credit of paper money. At this time, although these natives had a certain trust in paper money, they were still very worried that the patriarch would not recognize paper money, so they asked at the beginning.
However, all the patriarchs at the moment come from a time and space where paper money is commonly used, and they will not refuse to come even if you are a paper money or coin. None of them have noticed that these actions have been very successful in establishing the status of paper money in the minds of the natives.
"From today onwards, the Senate's banknotes will have a higher reputation." Shui Wangtai was walking around the night market with Xue Fanxing at this time, and as he said that, he glanced at Xue Fanxing holding his arm, this lovely girl was looking around at the night market in a blue court dress, completely noticing what he was saying.
Xue Fanxing was sprayed with the French perfume she brought, and everywhere she walked, she left a faint fragrance, so that everyone who smelled it couldn't help but stop and turn their heads to find the source of the fragrance.
A tall, strong man walked up to them, bowed to them, and stopped the two men. "Hello two, are you elders?"
Xue Fanxing was a little nervous, after all, this is a new time and space, although she has been staying for several months, she still doesn't adapt to this new time and space with no concerts, no movie theaters, no plastic surgery handsome guys, but at this time, the strong man in front of her makes her eyes shine. In front of her was a black-haired foreigner about 1.8 meters tall, this foreigner with a high nose and white skin, a square face and blue eyes, was winking at her at this time.
"What's the matter with you?" Shui Wangtai naturally puffed out his chest and stopped Xue Fanxing behind, "Who are you?" ”
The tall man hurriedly bowed slightly and said, "I'm Former Captain Maidno Colonel Stone. Greetings to the Senate! ”
Shui Wangtai had seen the internal staff, and he knew that Ston was the highest-ranking officer of the Maidno Navy who had been captured in the Battle of Orient Harbor, and was the commander of this fleet. At present, although he is temporarily hired as the chief instructor of the naval sail fleet of the Senate, he only maintains a minimum of freedom. He couldn't help but glance back, and sure enough, not far behind Ston there were two naturalized policemen in civilian clothes following behind, although these naturalized policemen were wearing civilian clothes, but they wore armed belts with gun holsters around their waists, looking like the martial arts team during the Anti-Japanese War.
Xue Fanxing also saw the two plainclothes, quietly pulled Shui Wangtai, and nudged Nu with his small mouth, "Are these two guys plainclothes policemen?" ”
"Hehe," Shui Wangtai also laughed, "This is probably the martial arts team." ”
These two plainclothes policemen also made Shen Bin quite speechless, you must know that the uniforms issued by the army and the police are the best materials among all the uniforms in the entire Dongfang Port, and the police can also wear pistols when on duty, but soldiers can only wear one bayonet at most in addition to the combat state. Therefore, the police were proud to be able to carry pistols, and although they knew that they were going to follow Ston in civilian clothes, they couldn't help but put their holsters on the outside, and at this time they looked like the plainclothes policemen of later generations who had "plainclothes policemen" printed on their vests.
But the naturalized people knew the status and power of the police, and did not discuss the matter with them; The elders didn't care at all, and they didn't tell them about it, so the two guys thought they were still in a hidden state, and followed Ston with a swagger.
"Alas," a voice came from the side, Shui Wangtai and Xue Fanxing hurriedly looked over, it turned out to be an example not far away, holding a marshmallow in his hand and looking at it while sighing. "Don't laugh at them, the police in Dongfang Harbor have not received tracking training at all, and they have no concept of how to hide their identities at all, plus they are very illiterate, and they can't understand the teaching materials even after they have been distributed, so they still have to teach slowly when they catch ducks on the shelves." After speaking, he walked over to the two policemen while munching on the marshmallows, and nodded at Ston by the way, after all, Ston has the right to roam freely in the Oriental Harbor.
Ston smiled as well, nodded at the example, then smiled at Shui Wangtai and Xue Fanxing, and asked, "Is this fragrance from perfume?" ”
Xue Fanxing was stunned and nodded.
"Alas......" Ston couldn't help but sigh, "I only smelled perfume for the first time today, and it really smelled refreshing!" ”
Shui Wangtai couldn't help asking, "Didn't we sell a lot of perfumes to Mingzhou City at that time?" But thousands of bottles! You haven't smelled it? ”
"Oh?" Ston was stunned, "Thousands of bottles?" How is this possible? In Donghai City, a bottle of perfume is worth up to 2,000 gold coins, and if there are thousands of bottles, there shouldn't be such a high price! ”
"Two thousand gold coins?" Xue Fanxing was also stunned, she had been working as an accountant at the financial department since she came to the new time and space, and she was extremely sensitive to currency, and at this time she almost blurted out and exclaimed, "Such a high price? She couldn't help but immediately start thinking about how much she could sell for the hundreds of bottles of perfume she had brought.
Shui Wangtai and her have been friends for many years, and they don't know what she is thinking, so they hurriedly pulled her, quietly leaned into the little girl's ear and whispered: "You are stupid!" Your ones are French perfumes, a bottle is more than a hundred or thousands of dollars, and they buy cheap perfumes that were purchased in the small commodity market back then, which is not the same thing at all. At the same time, he smiled at Stone, who was still staring at him and Xue Fanxing whispering, and the latter quickly smiled back. Didn't Gu Qingqian look for you last time? Let you be in charge of the perfume manufacturing business, if you get it right, this is the big income of the Senate. ”
Xue Fanxing smiled and stretched out his right hand at Stone, who was still inexplicable, "Nice to meet you, Mr. Stone." Ston smiled, he had been captured for a long time, and he had trained a lot of naval veterans, so he knew a lot about shaking hands. It's just that the one who stretched out his hand in front of him was a petite woman, so he didn't know what to do, but since the other party reached out, he always had to set an example, so he took a small step back with his right foot, and gently held up Xue Fanxing's little hand with his right hand, and sniffed it lightly on the back of her hand.
Xue Fanxing was a little surprised, she didn't understand what this gringo was doing at first, but after a few coherent actions, even if she hadn't eaten pork, she had seen the pig run, which was probably a kiss ceremony. However, to her surprise, this foreigner did not kiss the back of his hand, but only sniffed it. In fact, there are many formal requirements for the kiss ceremony, the first can not really touch the woman's hand with the mouth, the second mouth can not make a sound, and can not kiss the wrist, but the most important one, can not kiss the girl's hand.
However, at this time, few patriarchs knew about this one, and they didn't know that Shui Wangtai and Xue Fanxing were not husband and wife, so no one cared about this.
At this time, Xue Fanxing was very excited, this action made her suddenly feel like a princess in a fairy tale, and she was wearing a long dress that looked full of European court style at this time, and she couldn't help but start fantasizing in her head immediately, with a silly smile on her face.
Shui Wangtai patted her on the back of the head, "Don't dream, you are a veteran, and your status is higher than that of the princess." Xue Fanxing saw that he had guessed his mind, and shrugged his shoulders embarrassedly.
"I would like to ask if there is a perfume workshop in the production workshop of the Senate in Port Oriente?" Ston quickly interrupted their chat and asked. "Although I am the commander of the South China Sea Fleet, I am also the commercial representative of Donghai City, and I hope we can have the opportunity to cooperate."
Ston said with a wistful look in his eyes, he knew the value of perfume deeply, since he was appointed as the chief instructor of the sail fleet, he had also talked to many veterans of the navy about this topic, but none of the guys in the navy knew, and they forgot to introduce him to the commercial department, so he was dragged down. When he went out shopping tonight, he happened to meet Xue Fanxing, so he decided to take this opportunity to ask about it.
