Chapter 126: Polyester Shirt

~8 min read 1,477 words

Jiang Jinshi was not worried that Shopkeeper Chen would know this method and do it himself. The real profit point of ready-to-wear was not here, but in the style, which was the core selling point!

Perhaps Jiang Jinshi was not deeply involved in this industry, but it was not difficult to take out some clothes that ancient people found novel.

He didn't question the aesthetics of the ancients, but the same clothes would feel vulgar after a long time. Sometimes it was just a cloth of a different color. New things would always be more eye-catching, right?

So this was his and Li Xinyue's Chamber of Commerce plan. Bringing modern commerce here would definitely have a huge impact on all the common people in the world, including those scholar-gentry and nobles.

Shopkeeper Chen didn't speak, seemingly thinking about the feasibility of Jiang Jinshi's words.

Jiang Jinshi unfolded the shirt in his hand and continued to say to Shopkeeper Chen: "For example, clothes with this ratio, we can make several different sizes, aimed at people with different body types."

"Young Master Jiang, can I take a closer look?" Shopkeeper Chen walked up, wanting to see it for himself.

This was just an ordinary shirt, and Jiang Jinshi wouldn't protect it like a treasure, so he handed it to the other party generously.

Shopkeeper Chen had been in this line for many years, and his vision could be said to be very vicious. He could even see the approximate size without measuring, but after getting his hands on it, he became interested in the material.

The fabric of this piece of clothing was very fine and felt very smooth, completely having the feeling of top-grade silk, but upon closer inspection, Shopkeeper Chen discovered the clues.

The fabric was stiffer than silk, lacking the "soft" feeling, and silk was also more "delicate" than this fabric.

"Young Master Jiang, what kind of material is this? Why have I never seen it before?" Shopkeeper Chen held the clothes and kept looking at them, his curious eyes couldn't be hidden at all.

"Uh... that's not important. What's important is that once we launch such a model, it will definitely set off waves throughout the Da Qian country." Jiang Jinshi couldn't explain to Shopkeeper Chen what polyester fiber was, so he could only change the subject.

Jiang Jinshi continued: "At that time, the common people will find that clothes don't have to be worn in a single color, and the price of a piece of clothing is not more expensive than a piece of cloth. When more and more people like ready-to-wear, then the cloth shop... will be eliminated!"

"But once ready-to-wear is launched, it's very simple to imitate." Shopkeeper Chen didn't dare to exaggerate, but it was no exaggeration to say that even the piece of clothing Jiang Jinshi took out, he could imitate one now just by looking at it.

"This requires another thing! It's called brand effect. I'll tell you now and you won't understand. Anyway, it's roughly this kind of thing."

The tea in Jiang Jinshi's cup was cold, but he didn't mind and drank it in one gulp.

Shopkeeper Chen's thoughts at this moment were completely different from before. Just by the fact that Jiang Jinshi could take out this piece of clothing, along with the matching ideas, he knew that this so-called Chamber of Commerce was not what he thought.

In other words, these ideas were what Jiang Jinshi had long ago, otherwise how could he take one out to show him immediately.

Moreover, the other party's unconstrained thinking did indeed have some impact on Shopkeeper Chen. He didn't know if this Chamber of Commerce could succeed, but once it succeeded, the wealth involved was something he didn't even dare to think about now.

Watching Shopkeeper Chen in deep thought, Jiang Jinshi didn't disturb him. He didn't force every merchant to join his Chamber of Commerce.

After all, if everyone was making money, then who was losing?

Commercial warfare was the same as the battlefield. Success had to be stepped over the corpses of others.

And once the Xinyue Chamber of Commerce took shape, merchants in many fields would be ruthlessly "slaughtered."

Now Shopkeeper Chen was facing a crossroads in his life, depending on whether he dared to be the first to eat crabs.

After a long time, Shopkeeper Chen let out a breath, "Phew! Young Master Jiang, to tell you the truth! Just now I thought this so-called Chamber of Commerce was used to harvest our silver."

Jiang Jinshi was not surprised by this remark. If Shopkeeper Chen didn't even have this bit of vigilance, he would have been divided up long ago, and he wouldn't have been able to support such a big shop.

"Then what do you think now?"

Shopkeeper Chen looked at Jiang Jinshi with firm eyes, "Young Master Jiang, my little family property is not much, but from now on, I will entrust it to you."

Jiang Jinshi teased: "Don't you want to think more? If you lose, you won't even have money for retirement."

"Just leave a little bit. When I become an old man, it won't cost much to just eat." Shopkeeper Chen laughed, and his expression was not as restrained as before.

In fact, he was also empty in his heart. He didn't know the full picture of Jiang Jinshi's Chamber of Commerce plan, and was only betting based on the little bit revealed so far.

Based on what Jiang Jinshi said, it was not enough for him to bet his entire family property, but if there was really a plan that was guaranteed to make a profit and was presented in full, would it be his turn?

Anyway, it was just some silver. For the sake of Jiang Jinshi's character, he bet it!

Jiang Jinshi reached out to Shopkeeper Chen, "You won't lose. I still have this bit of confidence!"

"Then I'll trouble Young Master Jiang to take care of me in the future!" Shopkeeper Chen grasped Jiang Jinshi's hand tightly.

"Since this is the case, go back and talk to your 'neighbors'! Those who are willing to stay can stay. Even if they don't join the Chamber of Commerce, they can stay. Let them choose for themselves."

Jiang Jinshi naturally guessed some situations from Shopkeeper Chen's words. It would be better to wait until those willing to join were all gathered before discussing the Chamber of Commerce in detail.

"Okay! Since this is the case, Young Master Jiang, just wait for my good news!" Shopkeeper Chen didn't delay. At this moment, people in the restaurant must still be waiting for his news!

After going out and on the way to the restaurant, Shopkeeper Chen was thinking about whether he should pull everyone into the Chamber of Commerce. From the moment he joined the Chamber of Commerce, he had to stand from the perspective of the Chamber of Commerce to think about problems.

At the current stage, it must be the more people who join, the better, so this problem didn't make him struggle for long. So what kind of attitude or words should he express to attract them to join?

When Shopkeeper Chen walked into the restaurant private room in a hurry, everyone hurriedly swarmed up.

"How is it? Old Chen!"

"Is there any news about how much to collect every month?"

"Say something! You're making people anxious to death."

Shopkeeper Chen squeezed out of the crowd, came to the table, poured a cup of tea, and drank it in one gulp.

"I'm exhausted, what's the rush? Can't I drink some tea before saying it?"

"Okay, okay! Breakfast is also ready, everyone eat while talking." The restaurant owner stood out. Although he was also very anxious in his heart, he couldn't rush for a moment.

Shopkeeper Chen nodded with satisfaction, picked up a crystal bun with chopsticks and put it in his mouth. After swallowing, he said: "Don't worry! They are not interested in your little bit of money."

"Really or false?" Shopkeeper Zhang expressed doubt for the first time. Aren't all crows in the world black? Can there be a white one?

Shopkeeper Chen rolled his eyes at the other party: "Believe it or not, they have thousands of people under their command, and they also issue monthly money every month. What is your little bit of money enough for?"

Everyone was stunned. They didn't believe it when they heard that the bandits of Yangguangzhai had monthly money before. Unexpectedly, it was true!

"Then Yangguangzhai has no income like this, and the monthly expenditure is still so large. Won't they stare at us sooner or later?" Shopkeeper He asked with worry.

"Don't worry! They have a way, they are not short of silver at all." Shopkeeper Chen put down his chopsticks.

"What way?" ===== CHAPTER 127 =====
