Chapter 648: Chapter 648: Import and Export Regulations
Hearing that Aslan was so considerate of the people, Wilson and the others stood up collectively, touching their chests and saluting.
"Your greatness and magnanimity are beyond our reach, and the province of Melox is becoming great because of you."
Aslan waved his hand indifferently, in fact he was secretly happy.
Such flattery made him feel comfortable.
"We also want to open a supermarket directly under the city hall, um, it's called Haoqubian Supermarket." Aslan said after thinking for a while.
Wilson and Essien agreed without thinking about it.
Supermarkets are not a rare thing in the mainland. As early as more than ten years ago, the Maxim Empire opened an industry called supermarkets in the capitals of various countries in the mainland.
Regarding the weird name, Wilson and Essien have long been accustomed to Aslan's weird naming habit, even if they named it Papa's Supermarket, they would not care.
In the following week, news about Haoqubian Supermarket spread rapidly.
The content that appears most often is that there are a large number of cheap meat products on the market.
Obviously, Essien didn't intend to kill them all, and gave those hoarding meat merchants one last chance. If they didn't grasp it well, they would not have another chance when the butcher's knife of the city hall was raised.
On the opening day of the Haoqubian supermarket in Billy City, Queen Herrera was specially invited to cut the ribbon for the opening. Of course, the city hall also gave an appearance fee of 100 gold coins.
Not to mention her status, Herrera's appearance and figure alone belong to the top level, and she has a noble status. It is perfect to attend this kind of show occasion.
After a magic apprentice uses weird magic props to shine a light before cutting the ribbon at the entrance of the supermarket, everyone will cut the ribbon in their hands.
After Herrera finished the ribbon-cutting ceremony, she couldn't wait to take Mrs. Sharon to the supermarket together. Ever since she became queen, Herrera hadn't visited the supermarket again.
"This supermarket is really big!" Herrera took Mrs. Sharon's hand and walked slowly in the supermarket.
The first floor is the luxury zone, where you can find expensive cosmetics and perfumes produced by Chanel, watches from Royal Audemars Piguet, all kinds of exquisite jewelry rings, and even magical accessories and magic props.
Of course, the magic props sold in supermarkets belong to the lowest level of magic props.
"Mother, Royal Audemars Piguet's watches are so exquisite." Herrera looked at the watches on the counter and sighed.
Royal Audemars Piguet is the watch brand of the Balance Chamber of Commerce. In fact, more than 80% of the luxury brands and products in the Commonwealth of Cleveland today come from the Balance Chamber of Commerce.
At the beginning, Aslan took out more than a dozen brand names of watches, among which Patek Philippe and Rolex were his favorites. Unfortunately, Jason fell in love with the name Audemars Piguet at a glance, and then added the word "Royal" in front of it, which has become a popular watch nowadays. A watch brand in the northern part of the mainland.
"Royal craftsmanship, unique ingenuity, carefully crafted by magicians!"
A simple line instantly swept the mainland.
Madam Sharon looked at the advertisement, and couldn't help but twitch her lips.
Royal craft?
Why didn't the former queen and the current queen know that the royal family had mastered this thing?
In fact, it’s not just watches. After Aslan took over the protection of the members of the royal family in Cleveland, the Tianping Chamber of Commerce has begun to launch a large number of luxury goods with the word “royal”, occupying the luxury market in the northern part of the mainland, and even began to expand to the south and west. market.
In the eyes of ordinary people and small nobles, the word royal is synonymous with the highest style.
The guards around Herrera suddenly became nervous, and then they saw a group of people swarming towards the vegetable market on the second floor.
"What happened?" Madam Sharon asked calmly.
A guard said uncertainly, "They should have gone to buy meat."
"Buy meat?" Herrera was taken aback for a moment, but quickly realized, his eyes lit up and said, "I almost forgot, today's supermarket has a big sale on meat products."
When Mrs. Sharon heard it, a black line appeared on her forehead instantly. She felt that she was going to die. Herrera planned to go to the vegetable market on the second floor.
"Let's go, the price of meat has risen too fast recently, and the money for buying vegetables in the palace has increased by one or two gold coins every day. I feel so sorry for me." Herrera pulled Mrs. Sharon's person and wanted to go to the second floor and go.
In the end, he was stopped by the manager of the supermarket.
"His Royal Highness, the vegetable market on the second floor is crowded with people, and your safety is extremely unstable. I can take you to our warehouse to pick." The manager said quickly.
Mrs. Sharon nodded and said, "Okay, let's go to the warehouse to have a look."
Some of the customers in the vegetable market on the second floor are the people of Billy City, and the other are purchasers sent by merchants from all over the place. They want to work together to sell out all the meat in the supermarket, and treat it as a cheap purchase in the supermarket.
Therefore, as soon as the meat products were brought out, they would be wiped out. The first two times were fine, and these merchants would cheer happily, as if they had defeated the evil lord, but as more and more meat came up, some merchants began to panic.
Supermarkets have put out more than ten tons of meat products, whether their wallets can hold on to it or not, what scares them the most is that they don’t know how many meat products are still in the supermarket’s freezer, it seems like a bottomless pit.
Some timid small businessmen started to leave. Just as they came out of the gate pushing nearly a hundred catties of meat, when they were about to be loaded into the carriage, they saw a snow-white truck parked at the entrance of the supermarket. Side supermarket.
The door of the carriage opened, and the meat in the carriage was slowly being pulled down by the staff.
"Business is good today!"
"Yeah, no matter how much meat there is, it will be sold out as soon as it arrives. I'm worried that there won't be enough warehouses?"
Hearing this, the little businessman also craned his neck to eavesdrop.
"Don't worry! Your lord has built a lot of freezers a long time ago. Meat products have long been listed as strategic materials. If you use the reserves of an underground freezer, it will be enough to feed Billy City for a year."
Hearing this, the little businessman lost his soul.
Once there were merchants who wanted to hoard grain in the city of Merlot and tried to raise the price of grain, but they were punched out by the Marquis of Aslan, and those grain merchants lost all their money.
The City of Merlot implemented import and export trade control regulations many years ago. Regardless of the trade of imported and exported commodities, they must register with the City of Merlot and obtain approval before importing and exporting.
Once these meat products cannot be sold in Melox Province, they will definitely fall into their own hands. As long as the city hall blocks their export trial, their meat products will only rot in their hands. After all, every day The price of renting a freezer is not low.
After the small businessman got the news, he didn't tell his companions immediately, but pulled out all the meat products he had stored, returned to his shop, and sold them at the supermarket price, which caused quite a stir.
