    A large number of soldiers entered the city of Chongqing from the north gate in order.  Xu Wei also rode into the city leisurely on a tall horse.

    Zhou Jun is quite scheming. Before, Huang Yucheng was appointed as the governor of Chongqing, and he had a public fight with Wang Lingji, which made Chongqing angry and resentful.  Now, as soon as Zhou Jun took office, he immediately started to deal with the rebels and wipe out the banditry around Chongqing. Chongqing, from the gentry to the common people, was suffering from the war. Zhou Jun's move catered to their thoughts. Now the bandit suppression measures are deeply  To win people's hearts, Zhou Jun can only keep his head down and do things, but he can't make a show. He brought back the troops who had suppressed the bandits and walked around the streets of Chongqing, which caused Zhou Jun's support rate in Chongqing to soar a lot.

    After finishing the cutscene, Xu Wei came to the watch assembly factory.

    From a distance, I saw the somewhat crude assembly factory before. At this time, several small and medium-sized buildings have been built. The decoration of the houses is average, but it reveals a new idea.

    When we walked to the gate of the clock assembly factory, there were already several businessmen in their forties or fifties waiting there.

    Several people kept talking around Chen Jinxian.

    "Manager Chen, we can't delay this time any longer. The goods you promised me last time must be fulfilled today. I've found out clearly that the ten pocket watches you assembled here today are ready."  The wealthy watch dealer was spitting.

    "Manager Chen, all the pocket watches in my store are sold out. Why don't you give me a few dollars today?" said another tall, thin old man wearing a cotton-padded jacket and a melon-pipe cap.

    "Boss Lu, shopkeeper Zhang, listen to me."

    "No, no, no matter what, you have to give me some goods today."

    "My boss, my boss, you're here." Chen Jinxian was technically very strict with those apprentices, but he was not good at dealing with them. He was a little overwhelmed facing these people. When he saw Xu Wei appear, he couldn't help but be surprised.

    "What, you are Manager Chen's employer?"

    This group of people immediately abandoned Chen Jinxian and surrounded Xu Wei, "Sure enough, he is a talented person. I said Chen Jinxian was only a watch repairman before, how could he suddenly make pocket watches? That is a high-end gadget that foreigners know how to do. It turns out that he is behind the scenes.  Some people are superior to others, but others are harmed to gain wealth"

    "I know you. You used to be Wang Lingji's subordinate. I met you during the military exercise in Chongqing. You are really a young hero. How old is Battalion Commander Xu? Have you ever been married?"

    "Okay, you are here to do business or to be a pimp." Xu Wei was not afraid of the stage. He put his hands behind his back and walked directly inside. "If you want to buy goods, follow me. It's too messy to block the door like this.  We can¡¯t continue like this in the future. Since I¡¯m here today, I¡¯ll draw up a charter.¡±

    "Okay, since Battalion Commander Xu said so, let's go in and talk. Even if we can't get the goods, it would be good to get to know Battalion Commander Xu."

    Pocket watches were very popular in the Republic of China market at this time. Due to professional needs and comparisons, in short, seeing many foreigners wearing these things, usually five or six people took them out to show off, which made some wealthy gentry in the Republic of China quickly  I also fell in love with this little thing.  The price of pocket watches is not outrageous, and many small landowners can afford it even if they grit their teeth.  Foreigners produce pocket watches themselves. Due to the high wages of foreigners, the unit price of pocket watches is naturally higher.  When foreigners produce pocket watches, they also have to be transported from overseas. The shipping costs are the same. Some pocket watch factories mostly produce their own parts. However, the cost advantage of parts is evened by Xu Wei's relatively low labor costs.  As a result, the price of foreign goods is no cheaper than that purchased here by Xu Wei.

    "The arrogant foreigners did not believe that the Republic of China had the ability to produce pocket watches at this time. Even Shanghai had no pocket watch manufacturers, so how could there be one in Chongqing?  Taking advantage of this short opportunity, Xu Wei's small pocket watch factory has already eaten into part of the foreign market.

    "Everyone, sit down, Mr. Chen, and let someone serve tea."

    "Battle Commander Xu is too polite."

    "I believe you all know how popular pocket watches are in the market. It's just that this market has always been dominated by foreigners. Foreigners eat meat, and we even drink soup leftovers from foreigners. We rely on one thing and eat one thing. I know you are anxious, but  The supply of goods is limited. If you are full, you will not be able to satisfy him. For the sake of fairness, I will set a rule for you."

    "What rules?" several people asked one after another.

    "Mr. Chen, come here." Xu Wei waved Chen Jinxian over.

    "My boss, what's going on?" Chen Jinxian asked.

    "How many pocket watches can we assemble in a day now?" Xu Wei asked.

    "The parts are ready-made, and we can assemble twenty-seven pieces in one day. Because the watchmakers have different skills and poor operation, there are four to five defective products." Chen Jinxian whispered in Xu Wei's ear.

    ¡°How long will the parts we have in stock last?¡±The guard said again.

    "It's only enough for about half a year." Chen Jinxian said.

    "Half a year is enough for the time being." Xu Wei clasped his fingertips on the table, thought for a moment and said to several watch dealers who were waiting eagerly, "Let's do this. It's a waste of time for everyone to fight over the purchase of goods. I said verbally  , you can¡¯t remember it either, wait a minute, I¡¯ll ask Mr. Chen to write it down, and everyone will take a look.¡±

    "Okay, everyone has nothing to do anyway, just wait for a while."

    Xu Wei took Chen Jinxian to the side hall next door. Unexpectedly, Shen Jie was also there, sitting alone at the table. Seeing Xu Wei come in, he put down the tea cup in his hand and said, "I haven't had time to congratulate you."  After Commander Xu was reinstated, Commander Xu went to suppress the bandits with great enthusiasm. I don¡¯t know what the regulations of Commander Xu were about this matter."

    "Let's do this, Mr. Chen. It's up to you to tell the watchmakers later that Zhongxing Huaiwan is now recruiting members." Xu Wei ignored the gun and stick in Shen Jie's words and said directly.

    "Boss, what does this membership mean?" Chen Jinxian asked in confusion.

    Shen Jie was also confused and didn't know what Xu Wei had planned.  However, she was a little dissatisfied with Xu Wei and couldn't show her surprise on her face.

    "Members are people within the circle. Within the circle, they can enjoy priority rights to purchase goods and enjoy a slight advantage in price." Xu Weidao said, "For the time being, we can set up three levels: 500, 300, and 100."

    "This, my boss, I'm afraid it won't work. No one else has purchased anything, so just paying so much money, I'm afraid they won't agree." Chen Jinxian shook his head quickly.  If you can pay for the goods, it's almost the same, but if you want to charge so much money for no reason, how can such a good thing happen in the world?  A few hundred yuan is not a small amount, and these watch merchants are not from wealthy families. The rich may be able to spend thousands of dollars, while the poor may only have a few hundred.

    "Mr. Chen, you are wrong. Membership fees are all voluntary. If they want to quit at any time, the money will be returned to them, but the money does not count interest." Xu Wei said with a slight smile.
