Super Prestige System

Chapter 11, Watch Agents
After taking a shower, Zhou Ding found that the clothes he just changed were stained with residual dirt. Taking advantage of the people around him not paying attention, he threw the dirty clothes back into the system space, and then took out a set of clean clothes to change into. He walked out of the bathroom feeling refreshed.

He got a waiting rickshaw, got on it and said, "Look for a foreigner firm!" Zhou Ding wanted to find a foreigner to do business with, and he planned to sell this batch of watches abroad.

The Qing Dynasty in this period was the darkest and most incompetent time. If these watches were traded with merchants from the Qing Dynasty, they might be murdered and stolen. In comparison, it is safer to trade with foreigners.

What's more, the biggest value of Zhou Ding's watches is that they are 100 years ahead of the world in terms of materials and craftsmanship.

During this period, the watches that wealthy businessmen in the Qing Dynasty could see were probably ordinary pocket watches. Compared with them, foreigners in this period knew the value of these watches better.

……

Andus is a German who has been in China for ten years to seek gold. In the first few years, he made a lot of money in the trade with the Qing Dynasty.

A person does not have a thousand days to be happy, and a flower does not have a hundred days to be successful.

Two years ago, the Qing Dynasty fought a war with RB—the Sino-Japanese War. The outcome of this war shocked the powers of the world. They did not expect that the winner of this war would be RB.

Decades ago, the British and French allied forces invaded Beiping and burned the Old Summer Palace. Western countries knew that the Qing Dynasty was weak, but they were not too surprised.Because Britain and France are not only one of the most powerful countries in the world, but also sent troops jointly by the two countries, it is understandable that the Qing Dynasty did not dare to resist.

Unexpectedly, the huge Qing Dynasty was not only defeated by the small RB, but also signed the "Treaty of Shimonoseki" that humiliated the country and humiliated the country.

With the end of this war, the international status of the Qing Dynasty, an ancient oriental country, plummeted.

Everyone in the Western countries knows that; a small country like RB can defeat the Qing Dynasty, and this country is obviously fat on the chopping board.

Therefore, countless big chaebols and business groups from western countries came to China one after another, looking for opportunities to make a fortune.

The trading firm that bought Andus Qing Dynasty goods sent people, and the factory that sold Andus goods also sent people.This blow killed Andus;

They no longer need the middleman of Andus, and the firms that buy Andus goods can purchase directly from the Qing Dynasty, which can at least double their profits, and the factories that sell Andus goods can also sell their goods directly to Qing Dynasty, in this way, how could these people continue to let Andus make money from it!
Not only that, in order to seize Andus's market in the Qing Dynasty, they began to suppress Andus continuously. If this situation continues, Andus can only pack up and go home.

Andus is not reconciled!
In order to learn Chinese culture and better trade with Chinese people, he has suffered so much and burned so many brain cells, how can he go back so uselessly?
However, the form is stronger than the person, so why not!
While Andus was pulling his hair in a daze, Zhou Ding approached Andus' firm.

More than ten years later, Andus, the world-recognized king of watches and clocks, said to everyone: I will never forget this day, the day when I first met Mr. Zhou, it was a beautiful afternoon, when I was worrying about the future, a watch An extraordinary Chinese man with elegant demeanor and a smile like a spring breeze came to my firm in the evening sunset.

Of course, these are just Andus's words to beautify, but in fact, when Zhou Ding came to his shop, he found Andus was sitting behind the desk in a daze, and thoughtfully coughed heavily, which made him distracted. Andus just noticed him.

Andus saw a gorgeously dressed guest with an extraordinary temperament, and hurried forward to greet him: "Sir, I am Andus, the boss here. I don't know what you need. Andus's firm is the largest in Tianjin Port. The most comprehensive firm, but I can provide you with whatever you want!"

Zhou Ding sized Andus up; the foreigner in front of him was about 1.8 meters tall, burly, blond and blue-eyed. Although he looked 40 years old, Zhou Ding had to admit that he was a handsome German guy.

Zhou Ding only knew English, and his spoken English was very poor. He was relieved to hear that the German could speak Chinese fluently.

However, Zhou Ding wanted to shock the German first.

"Mr. Andus, my name is Zhou Ding, you can call me by my name, or Mr. Zhou"

If the other party is a Chinese, Zhou Ding will definitely say; 'My name is Zhou Mingding. 'However, you can't say that to foreigners. If you say that, they will definitely call you Ding Zhou.Zhou Ding didn't want his name to be called backwards.

"Mr. Zhou, it's a pleasure to meet you." Andus stepped forward to shake hands with Zhou Ding.

After shaking hands politely, Zhou Ding looked at Andus with burning eyes and said: "Mr. Andus, your tone is really not small, and you dare to say that you have all kinds of goods, so please take a look, this level of craftsmanship Do you have a watch?" Zhou Ding said as he took out a mechanical watch from his pocket and gently placed it on the counter in front of Andus.

The watch that has been leading the world for hundreds of years of craftsmanship brings only shock, shock, and even more shock to Andus.

What a nice view!

So luxurious!
So delicate!
Andus slowly picked up the watch, and gently touched the smooth body of the watch, with doubts in his heart; What kind of metal is the watch chain and case made of?Although it is similar to silver, it is definitely not silver. This material is much more delicate than silver.

After a long time, Andus just recovered from the shock, and asked suspiciously: "I wonder what Mr. Zhou meant by showing me this watch?"

"The craftsmanship of my watch is the top craftsmanship in the world, does Mr. Andus approve it?" Zhou Ding asked in an unquestionable tone.

Zhou Ding's watches not only use the technology that is 100 years ahead of the world, but also use the unique material in the world, the Nth generation alloy steel.

In 1896, there were still nearly 20 years before the first piece of stainless steel came out. No one in this world knew what stainless steel was.
The style of the watch has even copied the classic world famous watches, and the beauty of streamlines is beyond words.

Andus really couldn't say NO against his will, so he could only nod in approval.

"This kind of watch, in the whole world, only my family can produce it. I plan to let you become the agent of my Zhou family. I don't know what Mr. Andus wants?"

--opportunity--!
Two large Chinese characters popped up in Andus's mind, shining with dazzling light.

What is the most profitable commodity in the world? It is a monopolized commodity. With such a commodity in hand, how can it be possible not to make a fortune?
Andus's heart was hot, his breathing became heavy, and he asked, "I wonder how much Mr. Zhou has, and what is the price?"

Zhou Ding fooled Andus and said: "I have a thousand exquisite watches on hand. This is the experience capital given to me by my family. I don't know much about the market of watches. Can Mr. Andus quote me a price?"

Andus frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and asked tentatively: "Currently the most valuable watch on the market is about 30 taels to 50 taels in silver. I'll give Mr. Zhou a high price, how about 60 taels a piece?"

Zhou Ding stared at Andus for a few seconds with noncommittal eyes, and said: "You have to know that my watch is not only made of unique metal materials in the world, but also has an elegant and beautiful appearance, and also has a calendar function. More importantly, , he can have night vision."

Andus gritted his teeth, and said, "80 taels, this is the highest price I can offer. 80 taels of silver can be converted into gold, which is two or three times heavier than your watch!"

Zhou Ding walked to Andus's desk, poured all the water in Andus' water glass on the watch, and then said: "You can dry it and see, this watch is also waterproof, such craftsmanship, how can it be Are those inferior watches comparable?"
