1850 American Gold Tycoon.

Chapter 323 Ou Huang
America in the mid-19th century was one of the most innovative and dynamic countries in the world.

At this time, the United States can not only quickly digest and re-create advanced technologies and concepts from Europe, but also generate countless new derivative patented technologies and new concepts based on this.

Local talents in the United States are able to create new patented technologies and new business ideas by themselves.

Representatives in the field of technology are new machine tools, spinning machines, sewing machines, and even kerosene industries.

Even if Liang Yao didn't intervene in these industries and step on the accelerator severely, these industries would appear on American soil sooner or later.

In terms of business model, the business model of the shopping center was also put into practice by Stewart first, and achieved very good results.

Liang Yao just combined his own knowledge reserve to improve the shopping mall that Stelter started to make this business model more mature.

It's just that Liang Yao's ambitions are relatively large. If Stewart's Marble Palace is a department store in later generations of the county, Liang Yao's Crystal Palace shopping plaza will be a small shopping mall when it is fully completed.

This brand-new business model is very novel to Paxton, August, these British gentlemen and Paris nobles, and it is an eye-opener.

At the same time, London and Paris had commercial avenues far more prosperous than Broadway in New York, but there were no shopping centers like the Crystal Palace.

"What a genius idea." Paxton praised.

If the British authorities had been able to transform London’s Crystal Palace into a shopping mall after the World Expo, the World Expo Crystal Palace in Hyde Park might not have to be demolished after the World Expo, but could be transformed into a shopping mall on the spot, which would not only save a lot of money, but also Maybe the energy will continue to generate money.

It is a pity that the Crystal Palace in Hyde Park, which Paxton has devoted countless efforts to, has been demolished.

When passing by the sewing machine store, August could not help but stop, looked at the crazy crowd crowded in front of the sewing machine store, and asked curiously: "Is the activity of buying lottery tickets for 10 cents to draw sewing machines real?" ?”

The tone of August's speech was full of doubts. Obviously, he was skeptical about the authenticity of this event.

"You are also a member of the business world. The price of the standard version of the Butterfly brand sewing machine used as a prize in this event is only 85 US dollars, and 850 sets are only 8500 US dollars. I only need to sell 15000 lottery tickets to earn back, not to mention my But I have prepared [-] lottery tickets." Liang Yao laughed.

Liang Yao wouldn't do such a stupid thing, and he didn't even bother to do it.

The lottery is a scam. There are 10 lucky winners in this lottery, but Liang Yao will not suffer from it. Instead, he will win. Not only can he earn from the event, but he can also make money for the sewing machine store. A wave of ads.

"I'll try my luck too." August rolled up his sleeves and squeezed into the crowd.

"Are you still short of the 85 dollars?" Liang Yao couldn't help complaining.

"Things bought with money are different from things won by a lottery." August took out a small silver ten-cent coin and said to Liang Yao, "Even if it is Knowing that there is only a 10% chance of winning the lottery, I want to try it, what if my [-] cents buy happiness?"

Liang Yao did not have much contact with August. He only talked with August about the acquisition of shares in the Nicaraguan shipping company. He entrusted August to help him buy hats from Paris. I understand very well, I didn't expect this person to be quite interesting.

August handed the ten-cent coin to a young waiter in the counter who was dressed sexy yet elegantly, and revealed a sense of mystery in the elegance.

Soon, the young and beautiful waiter handed August a small butterfly-sealed envelope with both hands: "Sir, your lottery ticket, I wish you good luck and a happy shopping in Crystal Palace."

Looking at the waiter's exposed big white legs, August swallowed instinctively, and praised: "The service attitude of your waiters here is really good, the clothes are also beautiful, sexy but not vulgar, when you are free , Come here at any time and wander around to make yourself feel happy."

Of course not bad, unlike Stewart's Marble Palace, the Crystal Palace recruited a large number of young, beautiful, and hot women as waiters.

The waiter's uniform, Liang Yao, was designed based on the uniforms of Air France stewardesses in later generations. The fly in the ointment is that there are no stockings in this era, and the waiters can only show their smooth white legs.

In the middle of the 19th century, the underpants were still mainly bifurcated and open, and the skirts of this uniform only reached the knees. In order to let these little girls wear this uniform with confidence, Liang Yao even specially designed matching underwear for them. Crotch panties.

"August, quickly take it apart and see if you have won the prize!"

Like a curious child, Vanderbilt urged August to open the envelope.

August was not in a hurry. After some devout prayers, August slowly opened the envelope, and took out a card from the envelope. The card read: Lucky customer, Congratulations on your acquisition of a Butterfly sewing machine. Please go to the Butterfly Sewing Machine Store in Manhattan, New York in time to claim your prize. This coupon is only valid on March 1853, 3, and will be invalid after the expiration date.

The butterfly logo of the Butterfly sewing machine and the crystal logo of the Crystal Palace Shopping Center are printed on the signature.

"I've won the lottery! I've won the lottery! I've won the lottery!" August excitedly showed off the lottery ticket in his hand, with a smug expression on his face.

August's companion Hills frowned, thinking that August's yelling in public was disrespectful to the upper class.

"Congratulations, Mr. August, you can not only get a sewing machine worth 85 dollars, but also become a silver member of the Crystal Palace shopping mall." Liang Yao congratulated August.

August, who won the lottery, was in a very happy mood.

Fillmore left shortly after due to leave for a speech in Pennsylvania tomorrow.

After Fillmore left, Liang Yao ordered the Crystal Palace mall to be fully opened, and no longer restricted the number of people entering the mall.

After visiting the shopping mall with everyone, Liang Yao invited August, the spokesperson of the Rothschild family in New York, and Hills Baring, the agent of the Baring family in New York, to drink tea at the teahouse on the seventh floor.

Thomas, the New York agent of the Bahrain family who was in contact with Liang Yao last time, has returned to London, and the Bahrain family sent their own son, Hills Bahrain, to replace Thomas.

Hills is in his early thirties, dressed very well, leaning on a richly decorated civilized staff, with a certain tall camel hair manners, walking with his head held high deliberately, coughing from time to time to arouse the attention of people around him Pay attention, an old British gentleman.

In the 19s, there were very few buildings with more than 50 floors in New York. A teahouse with a height of more than 4 meters was enough to have a panoramic view of New York. It felt like standing on the top of Mount Tai to see all the small mountains.

This is why Liang Yao set up the teahouse and coffee shop on the seventh floor.

Some people may refuse to climb up to the seventh floor for shopping, but few people will refuse to go to the seventh floor to overlook New York and enjoy the beautiful scenery of Manhattan. Fei's tea or coffee.

"To be honest, I invited the two of you to drink tea alone, one is to enhance our relationship with you, and the other is to discuss a business with you, a very large business."

After the maid wearing a bamboo-green horse-face skirt and a beige vigil poured tea for the three of them, Liang Yao explained the purpose of his visit and signaled August and Hills to drink tea.
