Chapter 604: I Just Want the Best
Morality. The Marquise de Rambouillet was not surprised, but felt that this was normal, she was wealthy, and of course she didn't care about this. She smiled and said, "Then please help me get a membership card!" ”
"Dear Madam, Hermes' membership cards are divided into ordinary membership cards, silver cards, gold cards and diamond supreme cards, you see ......"
"I just want the best ......"
Lin Xue smiled and left, and after a while, she was a de. The Marquise de Rambouillet took a Diamond Supreme Card and brought a few beautifully crafted atlases.
These albums are full of pictures of various goods, all of which are high-end luxury goods for women in the Rococo style. Morality. The Marquise de Rambouillet couldn't let it go when she saw it. Although she likes the products in the album very much, they are also expensive. Finally De. The Marquise de Rambouillet carefully selected a batch of goods. Morality. The Marquise de Rambouillet did not come out with enough louis this time, but with the guarantee of Li Song, the payment could be made the next day.
Morality. The Marquise de Rambouillet was now in a very good mood and said to Li Song: "I like the furniture and the décor very much, can I buy it here?" ”
"There's a high-end furniture store right next door, all of which are in the same style as here, and if you want to buy them, I can take you there. It is said that they can also help customers with decoration design, and they can meet your needs in whatever style you like. ”
Morality. The Marquise de Rambouillet was amazed when she heard this, and then asked, "Are the dressing mirrors and dressers in the villa where I live also sold there?" ”
Li Song smiled and nodded: "Of course, dressing mirrors are also sold, but they need to be ordered in advance, and it is said that even if you pay the full amount, you will have to wait for two years to get the goods." I'll go back and talk to the company to see if there's any stock in Manila. If there is, try to meet your requirements first. ”
Morality. The Marquise de Rambouillet nodded with satisfaction and said, "Then thank you." ”
After she finished speaking, she stood up and walked out of the Hermes flagship store with Li Song. Next, Li Song took De. The Marquise of Rambouillet swept the pedestrian streets of Manila's business district, and ordered a large number of skirts, **, jewelry, leather goods, and leather shoes. She also ordered a large number of furniture in the Rococo style, and spent a lot of money on the furniture store to design several castle decoration plans for her.
The furniture store opened by the Ministry of Commerce is also a black store. It's just a few renderings in modern society. It was sold for a sky-high price. But these sets of renderings are extremely beautiful, and they are all designed with furniture, and the overall effect is very good. The Marquise de Rambouillet was very satisfied.
Today, the pedestrian streets of Manila's business district are very lively, and almost all French ladies come here for a shopping spree. Although the shops here are all membership-based, and the products are only made to order, they still can't stop the enthusiasm of a bunch of losers.
After a few days, the French aristocracy finally got a taste of the charm of Manila, a shopping paradise, even though the goods here are ridiculously expensive. It hurts the wealthy French ladies a little, but when they think of the high-end luxury goods they order, all the negative feelings are suddenly swept away.
French ladies are shopping frantically on the pedestrian streets, while men are focusing on real estate projects on the outskirts of Manila. The villa area of various countries makes them linger, and the French aristocratic men are much more sensible in shopping, they all see the potential for the future appreciation of Manila real estate, and they also hope to have a vacation place to stay in this beautiful city.
So almost every aristocratic man bought one or several villas in Manila. Even the Chinese-style garden villa area where they stayed sold more than a dozen units.
The French merchant group spent a lot of gold louis in Manila after a few days of free travel. Boosted Manila's economy. Even Manila's GDP this month has been pulled up by a few points. One can imagine how strong the purchasing power of the French merchant group was this time.
The aristocrats went around pretending to be forced to spend money and sweep goods, while the French merchants carried out various commercial activities in Manila, and one contract after another was signed, and both the French merchant group and the Far East were relatively satisfied.
Several large families in France. It has also reached many agreements with the Far East in private, the largest of which is the cooperation plan between the Far East and the Jenny family in tobacco, alcohol and narcotics. The Jeanne family united with several well-established families in France and Europe to sell the business to the rest of Europe. So far. The "sick man of Europe" program of the Far Eastern Intelligence Department has finally entered the stage of large-scale implementation.
The Jeanne family of Paris, the Far East's alcohol, tobacco and narcotics will occupy the market of European aristocratic royal families in the coming years. Once these things have formed a fashion among the aristocracy, then the next step is to gradually open up the low-end market, so that all European people can enjoy the low-end tobacco, alcohol and narcotics of the Far East.
In addition, many French merchants who came with the French merchant fleet this time also made a lot of gains. At the moment the main task of the Far East is to digest the vast occupied territories of the South and Indian Oceans, as well as to sweep the northern steppes, and there is no spare energy to develop the European market.
This required a large number of European business groups to bring the goods of the Far East Holding Zone to Europe for sale. However, since the Dutch, British, and Portuguese East India Companies were driven out of the East by the Far East, the Far East lacked the arrival of large-scale European merchant groups.
Although a large number of European merchant ships arrived in Manila and Batavia every year, they were relatively small in size, making the sale of goods from the Far East in Europe extremely chaotic. In the next step, the Far East will look for large-scale business groups in Europe, and gradually implement the regional agency mechanism on the European continent to ensure that the Far East's low-end goods will be dumped on a large scale in Europe. Change the current chaotic and disorderly sales method in the European market, and scale the benefits of the trip.
In addition to several large French business groups, the Far East has signed an agency sales agreement with the Duke of Braganza João of Portugal, and several Portuguese business groups have established a perfect sales network in southern Europe, the Mediterranean coast, North Africa, the west coast of Africa and other countries, and a large number of commodities from the Far East, Daming, Southeast Asia and other places will be dumped in these regions every year, and in just one year, the foreign trade export volume of low-end goods in the Far East has increased several times.
After several rounds of negotiations with the Far East, several French merchant groups that came with the fleet obtained the right to act as agents for spices, silk, porcelain, and low-end goods in the Far East, and in the future they will help the Far East to establish a complete sales network in other parts of Europe and carry out large-scale dumping.
