"What did you say? The Liu family's display stand was surrounded by people rushing to buy Liu's silk?"
Pei Li frowned when he heard Pei Feng's words.
This is impossible!
Although we know that the Liu family has no good intentions in participating in the exhibition this time, it is not necessary for everyone to rush to buy.
Can the Liu family’s silk be so good?
"Have you seen the Liu family's silk?" Pei Li asked.
Pei Feng shook his head. "There are too many people. We can't squeeze in."
Pei Yanshu said at this time: "The Liu family came prepared this time. I'm afraid they bought Yunjin from Jiangnan. Most people in Yizhou have never seen Yunjin, so this situation is normal."
Pei Li nodded. Yizhou was dominated by Shu brocade, and everyone was used to it. Suddenly, when they saw Yun brocade, whose quality and color were not inferior to Shu brocade, or even slightly better, it was understandable that they would rush to buy it.
Pei Feng said: "What should we do now? All the people have gone to their side, and now we haven't sold a single horse."
Pei Yanshu stroked his beard and said, "Let's display the new products in advance to suppress the limelight of the Liu family."
Pei Li nodded. The Tianshuibi color had already been dyed and woven. Together with the previous bright red and true gold, these were the three colors that the Pei family had kept in reserve this time.
Especially the Tianshuibi color, which is almost never seen in silk. Your Liu family's efforts in the field of ceramics have really put us under great pressure, forcing us to go elsewhere.
But when it comes to silk, no one in my Pei family can compare to me. This is a color that even Yunjin has never had. If it weren't for Zhang Chu, the dyeing master, not even Pei Yanshu would have known that silk could be dyed in such a strange color.
Let me ask you, Liu family, what can you use to fight us.
Pei Li had already imagined the sensation that would occur once Tian Shuibi made her appearance.
"Dad, how do we set the prices for these three new products?"
Pei Yanshu hesitated for a moment and said, "Let's set the price at 100 taels each."
Pei Li was stunned. There was no problem in pricing the bright red product at 100 taels. The raw materials were not too expensive, and he could make most of the profit by pricing it at 100 taels.
Real gold is dyed and woven with gold foil, and the cost is about 80 taels. It is no problem to make a profit of 20 taels if the price is set at 100 taels.
But Tianshuibi suffered a huge loss.
South Sea pearls, lapis lazuli, and cold pond green alum, these three materials alone are worth a lot of money, plus transportation and the like, the cost reaches one hundred gold, or 1,000 taels of silver.
And you may not be able to buy it, especially since lapis lazuli is rare.
Pei Yanshu also used his connections to purchase the three raw materials.
The current price is one hundred taels. Isn't this a huge loss?
"Dad, I have no objection to pricing the bright red and real gold at 100 taels, but it's a bit inappropriate to price the Sky Water Jade at 100 taels."
Pei Yanshu said with some regret: "I have always told you to have a long-term vision and a big picture."
"What is the purpose of holding the Silk Appreciation Conference? It is to improve the reputation of our Pei family's silk, not to make money. The Liu family obviously came prepared this time, and you are still fussing over it."
"With the Tianshuibi color, the reputation of Pei's silk will be raised to a higher level. By then, our Pei's silk will be the best in Yizhou and even more likely to become a tribute. Are you still worried about not making money?"
“You can only gain if you give!”
“Now is the time to let everyone know that only my Pei family has the ability to dye this strange color, not to worry about gains and losses, understand?”
Pei Li looked like he was being taught a lesson and felt that what his father said made sense.
Seeing that his son understood, Pei Yanshu waved his hand and said, "Go ahead."
Now that the Liu family has taken the lead, the Pei family no longer hides anything and uses these three colors to slap the Liu family in the face, letting them know that it is absolutely impossible to suppress them in the silk field.
…
Silk appreciation party.
The display stand where Pei Yun was was still surrounded by people, some of whom came to buy things, while others were just there to watch.
For example, for the common people, fifty taels of silver for a piece of silk was a sky-high price, and they usually wore coarse cloth clothes.
Even if you really want to buy silk, you would buy ordinary silk that costs 10 silver per piece.
There was no restriction on common people entering the Silk Appreciation Fair, as it was mainly for fun, but only the gentry or wealthy families had the purchasing power.
Therefore, there are more people watching than buying.
But even so, in just such a short period of time, Pei Yun had already earned several thousand taels, although he had no intention of making money from silk.
But after learning about the price of silk in that era, Pei Yun felt it would be hard not to make money. Liu Yiyi suggested that such good silk would be bought even if it was sold for a hundred taels.
However, Pei Yun did not think so. He just wanted to seize the Pei family's silk market by using a low price so that the Pei family's silk could not be sold, so he set the price at 50 taels.
But he still underestimated the love of the gentry of that era for silk, especially good quality silk, for which they were willing to spend money.
The silk on display and the spare silk were almost all sold out, but many people were still reluctant to buy more.
Especially for those young ladies from the aristocratic families, each of them only spent one or two hundred silver coins, which was not enough to satisfy their shopping desire. There was no way, Pei Yun could only let those who wanted to buy silk wait, and he had to find a deserted place to buy silk from the mall.
As soon as Pei Yun left, Pei Li stood on the specially built platform.
Every year's Silk Appreciation Fair has a new product display session, allowing participating merchants or nobles to showcase new colors and fabrics, which is something the Pei family did on purpose.
Only through comparison can everyone know whose silk is the best. This can not only highlight the Pei family's dominant position in silk, but also make those nobles who want to compete with the Pei family give up.
Seeing that almost everyone was gathered in the corner arranged for the Liu family, Pei Li felt unhappy.
