In addition to being favored by the magnates of Europe, the New World, Southeast Asia and the Middle East, the high-end luxury goods of the Far Eastern Company also gradually became popular among the upper class of the gentry, princes and nobles and big merchants of the Ming Dynasty. After a large number of high-end luxury goods from the Far East were brought to the Ming Dynasty by the maritime merchants of the Ming Dynasty, they quickly caused a sensation in the upper class society of the Ming Dynasty.

Although Far Eastern Company also put a large number of goods in Daming, they are all in the middle and low range, and most of them do not conflict with Daming goods. Therefore, high-end luxury goods in the Far East can also only be bought in Manila.

Daming is now very poor, but the gentry class, princes and nobles, and big businessmen have silver, and it can be said that every family is rich and rivals the country, and Daming Chongzhen is a poor man compared to them.

Moreover, the forces behind the big businessmen of the Ming Dynasty and the sea lord are also them. Therefore, the local tyrants of the Ming Dynasty are the real financiers of Manila and the main source of customers in Manila. They spend a lot of money in Mani without moving, what kind of shops, high-end real estate, a few sets of purchases.

In the modern society, the company's business department has organized a professional team to do a lot of research on the consumption of the upper class society in various regions in this era. During this period, the company's business department did a lot of work, consulted a large number of professionals, sent a capable team to all over the world to do in-depth investigations, and hired a lot of designers to design packaging and appearance for these goods at a high price.

After the product was designed, they placed orders in factories in Yiyi, Dongguan and other places, and customized a large number of goods that were favored by the upper class society in various regions of this era. Many of the products that are difficult to produce in large quantities in this era can be easily produced using the production lines of modern society.

These goods customized by the company are copycat the patterns and trademarks of many big brands, and what Chanel, Hermes and other long-established European fashion brands are boldly misappropriated, anyway, no one sues you for infringement in this era.

But it has put a lot of pressure on those manufacturers. Paralyzed, this is the rhythm of death, such a large production volume, if it is put into the market, those big brands must be crazy.

The company has extremely strict requirements for the workmanship and packaging of goods, and even does not hesitate to use a large number of high-grade materials, and also increases processing costs. Although it has increased a lot of costs, it has also virtually improved the grade of the product, after all, it is positioned as a high-end luxury product, so it doesn't matter. In any case, these things were unique in the 17th century.

Therefore, the sales of high-end luxury goods sold in the Far East in recent years can be described as hot. This also makes the exhibition area of the trade and trading hall full of customers every day, and the goods that were originally marked by the Far East to sky-high prices are the best-selling here.

For example, in this era, European aristocratic women favored all kinds of artificial gems and artificial pearl jewelry, acrylic and artificial crystal ornaments, industrial synthetic perfumes, makeup and lipstick series cosmetics, various styles of mirrors, noble and elegant dresses, large and small cute bags, handkerchiefs with exquisite patterns of artificial silk, exquisite patterns of artificial silk scarves, skin care products that women regard as life, sanitary napkins for a few days every month, underwear of various patterns, stockings of various colors and so on.

Each product is large in quantity and comes in a complete range of colors to form a series of products. This alone can create a lot of wealth for the company.

The product positioning of Daming and Southeast Asian countries, as well as Japan, North Korea and other places, the company's Ministry of Commerce has chosen a strong oriental style, which is very different from the style of goods in Europe and other places, but the same point is to emphasize high-end.

Lucien and the others walked around the exhibition area of the trade and trade hall for a full day before they left, and after they came out, everyone's hearts were like a fire.

Today is really an eye-opener, as businessmen they all have a very sensitive business thinking, of course they know what the things in the exhibition area mean to businessmen, that is the wealth of gold and silver.

For businessmen, there is nothing but wealth that can drive them crazy. Therefore, the black store of the Far East, even if it is black, they have to endure it, compared with the immediate benefits, the service fees charged by the Far East in various names are nothing at all.

It was only now that Lucien understood why so many merchants from Europe and the New World would travel thousands of miles across the ocean to Manila in the East. The Far East occupied the north of Luzon, and merchants from various countries could only trade in Manila, and each ship had to pay a large amount of silver coins every year, and after entering the port, they had to accept the exploitation of the Far East. But there are still so many businessmen who flock here every year.

He is also well-informed, but he is here today in addition to shocking and shocking.

What shocked him the most was the more than two meters tall in the exhibition area, rich and luxurious dressing mirrors, Lucien stood in front of the mirror and took a look, he grew so big or the first time he saw his appearance so clearly, it was simply delicate, even the nose hair could be seen clearly.

And the material of the frame is also so noble, it is said that it is made of an extremely precious fish bone in the deep sea, and it feels great to the touch. The various precious gems set in the frame are less eye-catching. It has become a complete embellishment of mirrors, and even makes people forget their amazing value.

Such a mirror can be pulled to Europe to multiply profits by at least dozens of times. And it will become a sought-after commodity, but it is too expensive, and the value of this mirror alone is much higher than the value of all the leather goods he brought this time.

At this scary price, you don't want to have it. There are many people waiting in line every day, and each merchant can only buy one mirror, which is said to be produced by the Far Eastern Company only about a hundred per year. But they were all booked out by merchants from various countries. Now, even if you pay the full amount of silver, you won't be able to ship it until two years later.

Not only are these luxury full-length mirrors out of stock, but many of Manila's high-end luxury goods are in short supply. Merchants from all over the world have to wait in line not only if they want to buy goods, but also have to pay in full to wait in line, but even this still can't stop the enthusiasm of these merchants.

No way, these high-end goods are the only one, and there is no semicolon. And the more out of stock, the more profitable the merchant can make. Lucien and a few French merchants were also in high spirits.

They are eager to exchange the high-end leather goods such as beaver skins they have hoarded in their hands for funds, and then go to the exhibition hall to buy them. Lucien believed that by virtue of his aristocratic origin, he would be able to make a fortune from the high-end luxuries of the Far East.

In addition to these high-end luxury goods, Manila also has many goods from the Ming Dynasty and Southeast Asian countries, and silk and porcelain are always hot in the New World and Europe.

Lucien regretted that he had come late, and if he had arrived in Manila two years earlier, he might have had his own sailboat by now. Thinking of this, he hurriedly went to the service hall with several French furriers.

What they didn't expect was that the service hall was still full of businessmen from all over the world. Lucien received a number plate at the service desk, then sat on a bench in the hall and waited for a long time to come to a service window in the service hall.

The service hall has a special service hall to help merchants from all over the world contact the consignment business. Of course, this is also a fee, but it can save them a lot of time, and the goods are sold and then charged, if the goods are not sold successfully, the service hall does not charge any fees.

Because most of the leather goods in Lucien's hands are precious beaver skins, which are deeply loved by the local tyrants in the north of the Ming Dynasty, many shops in Manila's business district are willing to sell on behalf of them. Lucien chose a few shops to sell his furs, which were slower but more profitable.

By the time I left the trade hall, it was already evening. Lucien arrived at the nearby bus stop and got into a horse-drawn carriage to the recreation area.

All public carriages in Manila are only free for businessmen from various countries who hold business "green cards", and it is not free for local Manila citizens and tourists with Manila tourist "green cards".

Far Eastern Company is very attentive to the services of businessmen from all over the world who come to Manila, and even the picky people cannot say anything. In addition to the high price of each charge, there are really no disadvantages.

Moreover, as long as businessmen from all over the world hold a business "green card", they can enjoy many benefits such as medical care, public transportation, mortgages, free consultation, insurance, and financial credit in Manila. This is also the reason why many foreign businessmen have settled here after spending some time in Manila.

Each public carriage could seat more than a dozen people, and the carriage was open-topped, and Lucien sat in the carriage enjoying the salty sea breeze and watching the exotic scenery on both sides of the street.

Compared to European cities littered with garbage and homeless people, Manila's cityscape and planning are much better. Everywhere you go, you'll find flower beds, greenery and coconut palms, bringing a fresh burst of green to the city.

From time to time, two uniformed law enforcement officers walked by on the street, with the words "chengguan" written on their backs, and they would immediately step forward to enforce the law if someone violated the city management regulations issued by the Manila city government. Occasionally, mounted mounted police officers on tall horses patrol the streets of Manila.

Once there is an accident in the city, the mounted police and urban management personnel will rush to the scene to deal with it as soon as possible. Whoever is involved will face punishment, and those who commit serious cases will also be punished with huge fines, and if there is a phenomenon of violent resistance to the law, the outcome will be tragic.

There was once a certain Ming magnate who drank too much and urinated on the street, but was immediately arrested by the chengguan, because the other party drank too much, not only abused the law enforcement officers, but also pushed and tore the law enforcement officers, and was taken down by the chengguan and mounted police who came from all directions. In addition to a heavy fine, he was sentenced to three months of hard labor by the Manila City Government and was flogged in public. R1152
