Section 24 Travel Notes on Dongmen City(2/2)

Her handiwork."

"I would like to meet him if I have a chance," Li Luoyou said.

There is no counter in the store, only treasure racks inlaid with glass, on which various goods are displayed, which can be seen but not touched. Next to each goods is a piece of cardboard with the price written on it. Li Luo

After taking a look, there are three prices, retail, whole piece and whole batch. Finally, there is a "large quantity" that says "negotiable".

The variety of goods is dazzling. Looking closely, most of them are daily necessities and local products. It is the same as Li Luoyou's guess: the so-called Australian goods are actually Lingao goods. The cooperative is probably mainly wholesale.

Customers choose goods in front of these treasure racks. When they like something, the female clerk writes the ticket on the spot. The customer takes the ticket to the counter in the middle to pay, exchanges it for a small ticket, and walks back. I don’t know what the trick is?

"The rules here are like this," the manager explained to him, "you can see the sample in front and pay the invoice, and you can pick up the goods with the ticket in the back."

Quark asked: "We only have samples of the goods, but the quality of the goods we get does not match the samples. What should we do?"

"This is absolutely impossible. The most important thing about the goods here is that they are genuine." The manager said: "The biggest advantage of Australian goods is that the quality of the goods is exactly the same. What the goods look like is what they are. Even if there is a slight difference.

Within millimeters.”

He then asked another question: "What is the 'yuan' in the price? I see that silver and copper coins are not used to collect money."

"It's a circulation certificate."

After hearing what the manager said about circulation coupons and seeing the actual sample of circulation coupons, Li Luoyou fell into deep thought. What he saw and heard today surprised and shocked him a lot, but nothing could compare with the circulation coupons.

Plant something.

Li Luoyou is not an economist and does not understand what monetary economics is. But with his businessman's mind, he will not fail to understand the difficulty of promoting paper money and the huge benefits it will bring once the promotion is successful.

The entire Ming Dynasty paid little attention to coining money, and the people suffered from a lack of coins and inconvenient circulation. Therefore, privately minted small coins and bad money were rampant, and the government could not help it. Tokens similar to circulation coupons were also used in some places, but they were not used on such a scale, and they have never been used.

The stewards knew that the Australians had a strict system for the use and exchange of circulation coupons, and even set up a grain store to manage them. These measures were by no means an ordinary expedient to solve the shortage of money.

The Australians have tried their best to promote circulation coupons here. This effort is not as simple as settlement trade. Li Luoyou has another layer of doubt in his heart.

The second floor of the cooperative still has various glass display racks, but the third floor is full of small rooms with the doors closed. Occasionally, people come in and out. The manager said that if there is a big business, the clerk will invite people to this small room.

Come, offer cigarettes and tea, and someone will naturally talk to you slowly and in detail.

"...Our shopkeeper also did business here."

"Mr. Yang also purchases goods here?"

"No, it's selling goods."

It turns out that this cooperative not only sells and wholesales various Australian products, but also purchases goods from the local area. Runshitang produces a large number of "umesu balls", "secret tangerine peel", "lotus leaf tea", "hay grass tea", and "stew spices"

Some of this stuff is also sold through here.

In the past, many traditional Chinese medicine pharmacies sold many things that were neither medicine nor medicine, and they did not account for a large part of the business. The pharmacies did not try to make money through this, but mainly to win over local customers. Therefore, the prices were not high, and the people

It is also convenient for home use and very popular. Liu San attaches great importance to this business and believes that these products have a great market in the rural market, so he manufactures them in large quantities and sells them in unified packaging. Although the profits earned from this are limited,
