Zhan Zhumen

Chapter 53

"Come with me." Huo Zhong turned around.

Huo Xi and Yang Fu looked at each other, their eyes were full of joy, they hurriedly carried the basket on their backs, and followed.

Huo Zhong handed the two cans of bald butter to his subordinates and led them to a cart.A piece of linoleum was tightly covering something, I don't know what it was.

Huo Zhong stood still in front of the cart and looked back at them.I don't know why I brought two children who were as big as peas. Even if I gave them the business, would they have money to take it?

He couldn't help shaking his head and laughing, thinking that he might be dizzy again.

But he had already spoken, and people followed, so it was hard to say anything else.

Immediately, a corner of the felt was lifted to reveal the contents of the cart.

Huo Xi's eyes lit up, and he knew it was Bu.

It was the same as what she saw in Zhao Qian's weaving house. The inside was cloth, and the outside was wrapped in paper to avoid dust.Just by looking at the thin white paper of this bag of cloth, you can tell that the cloth is good cloth.

Huo Xi's heart suddenly jumped up.

Can she do such an expensive business?
Huo Zhong looked at the two children and couldn't help being surprised to see their calm faces.

The big one should be really ignorant, and those who don't know are fearless.The smaller one, with his mouth pursed, showed no sign of it.But Huo Zhong has dealt with people all the year round, how can he not see this kid's heart?
Perhaps because of their young age, some Xingzang have not yet achieved the real Taishan collapse and their colors have not changed.

I couldn't help but approve in my heart.

He patted the cloth on the scooter: "These are all silks and satins. They are all dyed. They were taken out from the silk and satin factory and prepared to be transported to Songjiang Wharf. They were traded there and let the sea merchants take them out to sea. It's a pity , Some time ago, it rained heavily, and it was drenched, and mildew was born."

Huo Zhong stroked the cloth on the car, showing regret.

They sold raw silk in various parts of Jinling City, Pingjiang Mansion and Hangzhou Mansion, weaved cloth, and dyed it, which was exactly what the sea merchants liked.We transported a full boat to the mouth of the Songjiang River, and we were going to transfer the big boat to go out to sea.

But who knew it was ruined by a rain.No matter how carefully it is protected, many of the cloths in this batch are stained with mildew.

The sea merchants didn't want it, so they had to ship it back to the capital, planning to sell it at a discount, or cut it to see if it could be made into embroidery and sell it, so as to get back some of the cost.

Huo Xi's heart skipped a beat, and he touched the purse in his bosom. There were only 100 taels of silver notes and a few gold beans and silver beans in it, but there was a whole cartload of silk in front of him.

"What's the price of this silk?"

Seeing that he actually asked the price, Huo Zhong was taken aback. Does this kid really not understand or is he courageous?

So he teased her: "Guess what price we get for a stone of raw silk?"

raw silk?

do not know.But Huo Xi also makes a lot of clothes every season and every month in Zhang's residence, and she roughly knows the price of a piece of silk.

I made a rough calculation in my heart: "I guess, you can get less than 200 taels of silver per stone of raw silk?"

Huo Zhong's eyes widened: "You can do it, a fisherman, how did you know the price of raw silk?"

Huo Xi knew she was right.

So he told him about the fact that he went to the village to collect all kinds of linen some time ago.

Huo Zhong thought she was asking Zhihu.

Not hiding from her, he nodded: "The raw silk is indeed less than 200 taels a stone. But we will send it to Zhifang for weavers to weave all kinds of cloth, and then send it to the dyeing house for dyeing, and then transport it to Songjiang and sea merchants for further processing. Trading. The price of a horse cannot be lowered. When it is shipped to Napersia, Java, Managa, Semu and other places, the price will double.”

If all this batch of cloth is sold out, their shop can make a lot of money.Unfortunately, several cars were lost.Those maritime merchants are very picky, and they don't want any flaws.

"Then what price do you plan to sell these cloths for?"

Huo Zhong glanced at her: "Although there are flaws, it is still silk. Are you sure you want to see it?"

Huo Xi nodded: "If I can afford it."

Huo Zhong laughed: "How much can you afford? This is not Ge Ma for a penny."

"Can I have a look at the cloth?" Huo Xi didn't even mention his reserve price.

Huo Zhong raised his eyebrows: "Of course." After speaking, he untied a piece of cloth, grabbed the end of the cloth, shook it several times, and the cloth rolled a few times, and several feet of cloth were exposed.

As soon as the silk cloth was opened, Huo Xi suddenly thought of a slogan: "Enjoy silkiness now."

Under the sun, these silk cloths are shining brightly and feel extremely smooth.The silk material is still comfortable.The Ge Ma on her body is completely incomparable.

But, it's a pity, there are dots of mildew spots on it, and some of them are still a large piece of mildew.

Huo Xi immediately thought of many ways to deal with the mildew.But if you don't try it, you don't know if it will work.

Then he and Huo Zhong opened up a whole bolt of silk to see how many were intact.If you can't remove it, cut it off, go to the village to find someone to embroider and make clothes to sell, I don't know how much you can cut.Can make money.

See Huo Xi frowning looking at the mildew on the cloth.

Huo Zhong thought for a while, then said: "If you want, I will give you one horse and three taels."

Yang Fu's eyes widened.He swallowed his saliva.One horse three two!He can buy twenty horses for the Gema on his body.

Huo Xi shook his head: "Your price is too harsh."

Huo Zhong then said: "Since you know the price of raw silk, you know that my weaving will cost a lot."

"That's right. You have to pay labor, various costs of running a business, and weaving and dyeing. Otherwise, how can you say that the price of silk is better than gold. But if I buy it back, even if I find Qiao Niang, use the weaving pattern to weave and dye it. The mildew is covered, and I just ask for the embroiderer's money, which costs me a lot, and this method may not work. This cloth is cut out, and [-]% of it is not complete."

Huo Zhong saw that this boy was discussing business with him in a serious manner. Not only did he know the price of raw silk, but he also had a good idea of ​​the weaving, the weaver's wages, the management's wages, and the estimated operating costs. He couldn't help being surprised.

Does this kid come from a merchant at home?Can't help but look her back and forth.

I looked back at the cloth of the cart.A few carts have already been transported back to the shop, and the embroiderers in the embroidery village will have a headache dealing with those carts of cloth, which will delay their serious business in vain.

After thinking for a while, he said, "Boy, since you want it, I want to sell it too, so tell me the price you can accept. If it's suitable, I'll give you priority in selling those two cans of bald butter to you. But you have to have money first, in business, I won’t give you money on credit.”

The two boys braved the scorching sun and fought with the porters for work at the pier. Can they get enough money to buy silk?

Don't entertain him here.

Huo Xi knew that he was a mess in the business field, and he would read people's eyes to figure out people's hearts. Since he is small, he would not cover up many things, and he was afraid of going too far.So generously, he revealed his bottom line to him.

He took out the purse from his bosom, asked Yang Fu to wrap up the hem of his clothes, and dumped the contents of the purse on it.

"That's all I have."

Huo Zhong saw that in the hem of his clothes was a bank note, a few gold beans, and a few silver beans.

The silver ticket has not been opened yet, so I don't know how much it is.

I was very surprised that these two poor fishermen who came to the wharf to compete with others and earn a few coppers a day, could actually get a silver bill!
　I haven't eaten fruit for a long time.So hungry.When the epidemic is over, I will eat five meals a day, as a meal, until I vomit.Humph.
