Chapter 452: The Meeting in Amsterdam

In Germany. The auction held at the estate of the Marquise de Rambouillet was a great success, and the amount of money that was raised that day was even worth a lot of money. The Marquise de Rambouillet was amazed. In particular, several evening dresses were auctioned at surprisingly high prices, and some other matching accessories were finally sold for several times more than the original price.

The Queen of France also photographed an evening dress and a large number of accessories, but she did not quote at the beginning, but waited until everyone auctioned the price to a certain Cheng dรน, and finally held a sign to photograph the evening dress, showing the extraordinary bearing of the royal family.

Let Song Tao and De. What the Marquise de Rambouillet did not expect was that the Oriental Goods Fair, which was originally set up outside the castle, was originally intended to promote and promote the high-end luxury goods of the Far East, but many noble ladies and women who did not grab evening dresses at the auction spent their gold louis here.

Among them, the most sold products are skin care products, makeup, perfumes, shampoos, high-end underwear, stockings and other goods. In order to dress up, women can give everything they have, and spend money as if they have a grudge against money.

The second is that all kinds of dyed fabrics and printed clothing fabrics have also sold a lot, the fabrics and fabrics of this era, because of the limitations of the process, whether it is texture or color, can not be comparable with modern technology, the gap is simply heaven and earth. Therefore, many aristocratic women who did not buy evening dresses bought some fabric fabrics from the Far East and went back to make a set of evening dresses according to those auctioned evening dresses. :

The auction lasted just over an hour, but the exhibition on the estate lasted until midnight. The enthusiasm of the aristocratic women was high, but the men who accompanied them were much more bored, and although there were men's goods such as pocket watches and lighters at the Oriental fair, the auction was still dominated by women's goods.

The bored men could only get together to drink and chat, and today they didn't even have time to talk to the ladies. Because the women simply don't have time.

It also gave them time to enjoy the Far Eastern tobacco, alcohol and narcotics, and the spirits, needless to say, were certainly welcomed by everyone. Although cigars and cigarettes are difficult to accept for a while, these things can still play a certain refreshing role for first-time smokers, and the effect can be said to be very good in this era.

Snuff bottles brought by the Far East this time. The dosage control was very low, but every nobleman who tried it was impressed by this snuff bottle. They all bought a lot of snuff bottles at the fair, which they kept for themselves to enjoy later or gave to family and friends.

It wasn't until all the nobles had left that peace was restored to the manor. Morality. The Marquise de Rambouillet was tired, but still in good spirits. She didn't expect the auction to be such a sensation and raise her status in French aristocratic circles a lot.

What made her even more excited was the auction, and in the end she was dumbfounded. After all, one-tenth of the money this time belongs to hers. Morality. The Marquise de Rambouillet had a lot of wealth. But who doesn't want to have as much wealth as possible. And the gold louis she harvested this time was enough to increase her wealth a lot.

What she paid was only her manor and influence, but what she gained was wealth and fame, and such a thing of fame and fortune certainly made her unable to be calm. Morality. The Marquise de Rambouillet took the initiative to find Song Tao and proposed to him the idea of representing the luxury goods of the Far Eastern ladies.

Of course, Song Tao couldn't ask for it, and he arranged for Hong Shulei and two employees of the Ministry of Commerce to specialize in Tongde. The Marquise de Rambouillet met. Detailed discussions were conducted. This negotiation is much simpler, after all, high-end luxury goods take the high-end route. Relying on the de. The estate of the Marquise de Rambouillet achieves the best results.

In the future, auctions will be held here on a regular basis. In the name of the Marquise de Rambouillet, she used her influence to open stores in major European cities, mainly for the aristocracy and the middle class.

If you have done two things in France, you will basically complete the task. After all, the main task is to establish a sales network for alcohol, tobacco and narcotics, and in fact, luxury goods can also achieve their purpose in Manila. However, alcohol, tobacco and narcotics are a long-term task, and they may be profitable for many years to come.

The other is to use Lucien and Abel, as well as a dozen first- and second-line intelligence agents, to establish intelligence stations in Europe and the New World. This is also a long-term and difficult task. It is necessary to prepare in advance.

Having completed its mission in Europe, it is time for the ocean-going exploration fleet to set sail for the New World. Jenny knew that Song Tao was leaving, and she would follow him out of Paris anyway. This frightened Song Tao, you slept with other people's wives until it was nothing, but if you want to abduct other people's wives and elope, that's.

He finally persuaded Jenny to stop him, but Jenny was also ruthless, and he didn't let Song Tao get out of bed for several days, making Song Tao's tortured eyes black, like a big smoker.

During this time, because the goods of the Far East were popular in Paris, Ding Xinghao and they were also immersed in happiness.

The Parisian ladies who were sent to the door every day were lined up, which made the of the fleet excited, and they kept changing and chatting with the French ladies every day, one by one, like stallions. Of course, these are some small nobles who have little influence, and they can't get into Germany because they can't get in. The estate of the Marquise de Rambouillet's family, so they all came to the door in person, just to buy some luxury goods from the Far East.

Morality. The Marquise of Rambouillet knows the minds of the nobles, so she has been controlling the threshold of her customers, and she will never let the goods flood and make people beg you to buy them, and you have to thank you. The more this happens, the more it stimulates the nobles' desire to buy, and at the time of auction, they will fetch a higher price. Even skin care products, makeup, perfumes, shampoos, high-end underwear, stockings, as well as various dyed fabrics and printed clothing fabrics are strictly controlled.

Amsterdam, Netherlands, headquarters of the Dutch East India Company. In the past few days, representatives of the East India Company from Britain, Portugal, Denmark, Sweden and other countries have come from all over the country one after another. They had come to Amsterdam at the invitation of the Dutch East India Company.

At present, the Dutch East India Company is facing the threat of the Far East in Southeast Asia, and they have been trying to unite the East India Companies of other countries against the Far East. And Manila's prosperity in recent years has long made these countries salivate. Manila's wealth was not so important, but the Far East used Manila to control the circulation of goods in the East, but it was the place that these Western colonizers valued the most.

Once they take Manila, it will be a huge benefit for them every year. So as soon as the Dutch waved their flag, several countries immediately responded, and all sent representatives to Amsterdam. The board of directors of the Dutch East India Company authorized the senior merchant, Fell, to negotiate on behalf of the company and representatives of several countries.

The meeting lasted for a few days, and a group of Western colonists had a heated discussion, and they were also sparing no effort to fight for the interests of their respective companies.
