Chapter 402: Jinxia Fair

As early as when the plan was finalized, the Bureau of Affairs spread the

year-end Daqing news to the major cities of Shenzhou through the audio system.

However, due to the fact that these sub-bureaus are still in an initial state,

the publicity effect is far inferior to that of Jinxia City. Coupled with the

influence of the snow season, Xia Fan has no idea how many people can be

attracted.

Facts have proved that businessmen are indeed the ones who are most sensitive

to transaction information. On the first day of the fair, crowds crowded the

square, many of them were merchants from other cities and towns. And their

purpose here is precisely for the brand of cooperation with the Jinxia Affairs

Bureau.

What is the difference between fairs and fairs is that the goods entering the

fair must be reviewed by the organizer to confirm that they are unique or

innovative before they are eligible to be displayed in the booth.

The new things Xia Fan prepared for the fair were "crystal glass", canned

octopus, and salt condiments mixed with various spices.

These booths are also the most crowded areas.

The Secretariat has already released the export trend, and will promote the

production and sales of these three kinds of goods. The cooperation method

provides technical support and policy preferential treatment for the

government, and the businessmen are responsible for fund preparation,

construction of workshops and product sales. Although the Secretariat has

stated that it will be self-sufficient for profit and loss, anyone with a

discerning eye knows that no matter which one of these three things is a good

product, it is not lost.

Crystal glass is undoubtedly the most popular darling.

The hundreds of trial products on display have long been sold out by

residents. If it weren't for the samples to be sold out, it is estimated that

not even a single glassware would be left in the booth.

As early as the Yongguo period, people had mastered the method of firing sand

and stone into crystals. Those with good appearance and color are called

colored glaze, but that is actually the characteristics of low firing

temperature and high impurity content. If you want transparent and clean

crystal products, only natural crystal can do it, and its high price is

naturally beyond the reach of ordinary people.

The so-called "crystal glass" is just an inevitable product of the furnace

temperature increase and the advancement of impurity removal technology, and

it can be regarded as a by-product of Longlin Steelmaking. Even though there

is still a certain gap between it and the true clarity, the hand feel is not

as good as crystal products that have been carefully polished, but the low

price is enough to set off a ** storm in the market.

If it weren't for the price of the trial product that was clearly marked on

the product manual, the merchant couldn't believe that this thing was actually

several percent cheaper than the copper and iron utensils.

Through the crystal clear samples, they seemed to see an unimaginable huge

business opportunity.

Only in the eyes of Xia Fan, canned food is the highlight of this exhibition,

and it is also the product with the highest technical content. Only Jinxia

Machinery Manufacturing can produce goods of the same specifications and sizes

in batches-the iron sheet needs to be rolled and tinned before the can is

made. These two can be done separately by blacksmiths, and can produce

thousands of pieces a day. A canned food, that's another level of business.

I chose hairtail because it is convenient to obtain local materials. In fact,

foods that can be marinated or preserved with salt or sugar can be canned.

Compared with dry food that has no taste and flavor, the taste of canned food

is much more delicious. It can not only enrich people's daily dining table,

but also alleviate food problems during crisis years. As for long-distance

marches and voyages, this kind of portable food is even more rigid.

There are also many businessmen focusing on canning projects. Although they

could not immediately realize the strategic significance of canned food, the

official acquisition guarantee listed in the brochure gave them a lot of

confidence. The capital investment of this cooperation seems to be limited,

and after the finished product is made, there is no need to worry about

selling it. It is still an extremely good choice for the merchants.

As for the final refined salt seasoning, it is somewhere in between. It can be

said that the market will be as big as the output. After all, everyone has to

eat, as long as they have some money left in their hands, people will not

refuse to let themselves eat better. But its profit is also obviously the

lowest-the refined salt is controlled by Jinxia officials, and the cost of

spices is not low. The main task of the merchant is to promote it. How much it

can be divided depends on the ability of their own channels, and the ability

is not low. There is still the possibility of losing money if it is in place.

Of course, not all businessmen are staring at the cooperation projects of the

bureau.

The goods presented by the elves also attracted the interest of many people.

For example, the unique taste of "Bishui Mandarin" has the posture of the king

of fruits. As long as they have tried it, no one is not impressed by its clear

taste and rich floral fragrance, and there are not a few people who buy it on

the spot.

There are also brocade clothing made of golden wicks, and several clothing

shops have offered Shuzhou their cooperation intentions.

As for product observations and mutual transactions among merchants, there are

even more.

Those who were unable to enter the market set up a street stall on the side of

the street to buy some gadgets such as candied haws or paper windmills, which

can be regarded as a share of the pie.

Although the exhibition itself is not a celebration, it has brought more

enthusiasm than ordinary celebrations.

As the organizer, Xia Fan naturally also dressed up in disguise, bringing the

fox demon to experience the unique Spring Festival holiday in Jinxia City as

an ordinary person.

"If all these businesses are let the bureau to do, it will only do better,

right?" Li asked while chewing the candied haws. "The bureau has been spending

so much recently, why don't you make more money without these things?"

"Doing it all by yourself can indeed relieve the pressure on revenue and

expenditure, but it will also turn the relevant market into a pool of stagnant

water. If you use the firing of glass as an example, it is impossible for the

bureau to set up several departments to fire the same products?" Xia Fan

explained, "But the merchants will be rivals. They have to compete with each

other to ensure that their products can occupy a larger market. In this

process, they will improve their craftsmanship and increase product types. ,

To fill the market vacancies, but it is difficult for the Secretariat to make

improvements in this area."

"Moreover, the cooperation stipulates that production workshops can only be

located in Shenzhou, and the money earned by UU reading www.uukanshu.com

merchants will not easily go out. The more money gathered in one place, the

more dynamic the market here. , The benefits brought by this are far higher

than the money earned by the bureau itself."

"Um..." Li shook his ears, "You mean to buy bones for a thousand dollars,

first attract the money in the hands of the merchants to Shenzhou, and then

kill them when they are fattened?"

Xia Fan laughed blankly, and the fox demon’s understanding had to be said to

be in line with the concept of the times. In the eyes of the rulers, the

merchants were usually an emergency ration. Whenever they were in difficulty,

the idea of arrogance would hit them. On the head. Compared with the tycoons

and the high-ranking literati who occupy the land, it is indeed easier for the

merchants to knead.

"It's not necessary." He shook his head. "The reason why money is limited is

that people have not yet realized the nature of money and can only be limited

by the annual gold, silver and copper mining volume. Once the output drops or

the circulation of goods increases. , It is prone to a money shortage. Once

you know what money is, the money in the hands of qualified rulers is

unlimited."

"Infinite?" Li said in surprise, "Are you saying that there is too much money

to spend?"

"It cannot be simply described as more or less, but it is always in a state of

a few more points than the amount to be used."
