Chapter 120: Selling Silk and Socks
Pulling a specially made four-wheeled carriage, Yan Xu struggled through the bronze door and successfully arrived at the warehouse behind his shop.

No one can get close here without his permission. Apparently, the master controlled his curiosity very well. Some of the little tricks he had used before showed no signs of being triggered, otherwise he would have to find a way to deal with the body.

Thinking of this, Yan Xu was suddenly stunned.

"It's true that people always change." Yan Xu sighed that he finally came to regard killing as the most direct means of dealing with problems. Thinking back to when he killed several frightened enemies in battle, he trembled for a long time, but now he is used to it. It's true that if you don't push yourself, you don't know how awesome you are.

No matter what, Yan Xu can no longer look back, so he can only look forward.

No longer thinking about it, Yan Xu patted the heavy carriage, as if he was looking at a carriage full of gold.

Because increasing the number of troops requires a large amount of gold and preparations must be made for the purchase of arms in the future, so this time he brought a batch of carefully prepared goods, and now it depends on the market reaction.

"Master, you're back." Although he didn't know where the master had been or when he would come back, the lawyer still controlled his curiosity very well, because he knew that knowing too much could really kill people.

"I brought a batch of goods. You ask people to put them on the counter and also take some trial packs to deliver to the hotel. No matter whether it is Adams or the maid, as long as they introduce customers, they will get a commission." Yan Xu looked at the bright and tidy store and nodded with satisfaction.

At that time, the price of glass was not cheap, and the larger the piece, the more expensive it was. However, Yan Xu still spent a lot of money to install large pieces of glass, so that the lighting in the store was excellent. In addition, the counter was also inlaid with large pieces of glass, so that every customer who came in would feel bright.

"Okay, sir. I'll arrange it right away." The lawyer didn't ask any more questions. He clapped his hands, and the hired female foreign clerk hurried into action.

Not every foreigner was a rich man. In fact, most of the foreigners in the concession were poor people who came here to pan for gold or to cheat. All their wealth was probably exchanged for a ship ticket to the East. So as long as the price could be paid, there were many people willing to bow to the inferiors in their eyes, or even bow with their backs to them or kneel with their heads raised to tie their hair. It was about making money, after all.

So Yan Xu easily hired several beautiful shop assistants who were not necessarily blonde but had big wavy hair, and then asked them to change into high-slit cheongsams, which looked like blue and white porcelain vases with breathtaking curves, except with a little more hair.

"Let them change into these socks." Yan Xu, who brought a lot of stockings, finally didn't have to endure the hairy thighs of these beautiful girls that were exposed from time to time.

"Socks?" The master looked at the thin and transparent thing that the master took out, and really couldn't connect it with socks.

"These are stockings, made of a very special material." Yan Xu didn't say much, but asked the female shop assistants to try them on.

In this respect, the master was not as good as the female shop assistants. Yan Xu just said a few simple words and they learned it without any instruction. They even couldn't wait to take off their shoes and put them on.

The master kept muttering that it was immoral while watching intently, much more seriously than Yan Xu. It turned out that when it comes to being serious and responsible at work, the master is the one to be looked up to.

With his master as an example, Yan Xu gained greater confidence in the products he brought.

However, the safety of the store also needs to be put on the agenda. There is nothing wrong now and everything is safe and sound, but it is hard to say about the future because Yan Xu brought a lot of good things.

Once people become jealous, they will always do irrational things, so Yan Xu has been thinking about how to hire a few reliable security guards.

Of course, he is not the type who will remain calm when faced with someone taking something without paying, but a warrior who dares to empty the magazine.

After all, he had opened a supermarket in the modern world. Under Yan Xu's guidance, various goods were placed in different counters according to their types.

According to Yan Xu's plan, the first floor will mainly sell watches, pens and lighters, targeting male groups.

The second floor mainly sells stockings, perfumes and lipsticks, targeting women. There is no doubt that these products will definitely set off the entire concession, otherwise Yan Xu would not be prepared for someone to cause trouble.

Before the diligent female clerk had arranged the merchandise, Adams, who had received the trial packs, hurried over. When he saw Yan Xu, he immediately understood.

"I wonder if Mr. Irving is willing to deepen the cooperation with the Camden family." After Adams got the trial package, he knew what a storm these things would cause in the West and how much wealth they would bring, so he came in person immediately.

If it were according to past habits, Adams would walk in with his bodyguards in a haughty manner, throw down a bag of silver coins, and then take away everything he likes. As for whether the other party is willing or not, it's funny, just like the other party has a choice.

Don't think this is overbearing, because this is the rule in the West. The strong own everything, not to mention that he also gave money.

Of course, whether the money given is worth it is one thing, and how much you earn from what is taken away is another. Anyway, it is earned by your own ability.

Yan Xu did not reject Adams' proposal, because cooperating with him would undoubtedly avoid a lot of trouble, and all he would have to pay was a little money.

It seems like paying protection money, but in fact it is not the same thing.

To Yan Xu, a cheap industrial product that costs only a few dollars or tens of dollars has its value increased by more than a hundred times here, which is almost the same as the price of selling toilet water as French perfume. So is it expensive to charge you a tariff of 10% or 20%?

What's more, good wine needs no bush, and Yan Xu needs the help of the Camden family to open up the situation, while also avoiding causing more trouble than the Qing Gang.

Adams immediately signed a contract with Yan Xu on behalf of the family and introduced some people to him, all foreigners, because only in this way could more trouble be avoided.

Adams told him bluntly that if he wanted good business and less trouble, he must not let anyone know who the owner of the store was.

In other words, the goods were sold in the name of the Camden family.

Yan Xu frowned. Although he was unhappy, in order to make money, he could only raise the price silently and then hand the matter over to the agent introduced by Adams.

It was obvious that the store was no longer habitable, so Yan Xu decided to buy another property.

This time he chose to go outside the concession, near Yang Zhenze's martial arts school, which was also the place where he had killed so many people.

After the initial massacre, the situation could not be suppressed at all, so housing prices in the vicinity plummeted.

Not long ago, ghost fires suddenly appeared in the sky, causing the housing prices here to plummet to rock-bottom prices.

Yan Xu felt quite guilty, so he paid to buy the two courtyards on the left and right sides of the alley. Then he tore down the courtyard walls and rebuilt them, occupying the alley and connecting them into one.

If it were before, there would definitely be a lot of people complaining, after all, the alley is reserved for people nearby to walk on, and if it was closed, they would have to take a detour.

But now, he was afraid that the wall of his courtyard was not high enough and would implicate them.

In response to this, Yan Xu could only say that the courtyard wall should be made one foot thicker and three feet higher.
