Sign-in space: I grew rich in ancient times

Chapter 114 Bargaining
At this time, Chen Huiyin said in a helpful way: "Master Qian, my mother has excellent clothing-making skills. If it is not free to sell, we would rather make such top-level furs and sell them as ready-made clothes. After all, it costs 300 taels to make ready-made clothes. Those noble ladies and girls will also rush to ask for it, and there is no woman who does not like beautiful clothes and jewelry."

As soon as Sister Qiao finished speaking, Tang Yaoling on the side cooperated with emotion: "Who would have thought that my mother would take on a big job on the front foot, and my father would receive such a good leather goods on the back foot.

In fact, let me say, we can wait a little longer, as long as the mother rushes to make it before the Spring Festival, those noble ladies and girls of high families want to buy new clothes for the New Year, not to mention two 300 taels, even four 500 taels can be sold. "

After hearing the words of several people, Shopkeeper Qian knew that it was impossible for 60 Taels to take down these fine fox furs.

Besides, what these young men said was not bad, so he took the initiative to raise the price: "Guys, I sincerely want to make this business with you, so for 75 taels, I will wrap up these ten pieces of fox fur, and the other three pieces are not worth it." Complete solid-color fox fur, 59 taels, if you are willing to sell, then sell it to me, if not, then forget it.”

Gu Xinfang left behind the three pieces of slightly incomplete solid-colored fox furs, but picked up three pieces of rabbit furs as samples and said: "Master Qian, fox furs are really good, but these are rare, and only people with very high status wear them." afford it.

But the rabbit skin is different. This is a popular product, many people like it, and the price is cheap. We sell this kind of rabbit skin for 85 yuan a piece, and there are 27 pieces in total. If you wrap it round, I will give you two pieces of skin cheaper. money. "

Chen Huiyin hurriedly untied another bundle of rabbit fur that was not so pure in color, and sold it: "Master Qian, in fact, the variegated rabbit skin in our hand is also very well tanned. Although the fur color of these skins is not so pure, it is soft. , and clean, you can directly cut and plant clothes when you buy them back, and as a lining, it doesn't matter if the coat color is pure or impure, the important thing is that it is soft and warm.

And this kind of rabbit skin is cheaper, we have a lot of stock in hand, if you buy a lot, we can give you a bigger discount. "

Shopkeeper Qian looked at the variegated rabbit skins, and found that they were indeed soft and clean, as the young man said, and the master also ran a clothing store under his name, so he needed these furs, so he asked, "This variegated rabbit skin is very soft and clean. Skin, how much is a piece?"

Chen Huiyin blinked her bright and innocent eyes, and said with a pure smile: "This kind of rabbit skin is 55 cents a piece.

Shopkeeper Qian, if you buy at least [-] pieces, I will give you a penny cheaper per skin. "

This price is within the acceptable range of Shopkeeper Qian, besides, the bigger money is spent, so Shopkeeper Qian doesn't care so much about this kind of small money. Anyway, these rabbit skins are in his hands, and they can be sold several times in the end. There is no need Wrangling here for a little money.

So he called the two fellows who accompanied him to inspect the goods and count the quantity together to make sure that the picked out leather had no quality problems.

As for Chen Huiyin and the others, half of the fur goods went away at once, and Wei Chen, who closed the courtyard door and served as the background wall the whole time, finally couldn't help it, and said in a low voice: "Sister Qiao, that kind of variegated rabbit skin is originally Isn’t the fixed price 45 cents a piece? Why do you increase the price temporarily? If you increase it, it will be ten cents. I’m really afraid that the shopkeeper Qian will be angry with you, and he looks like it’s not easy to slaughter.”

Gu Xinfang explained with a smile: "The price of leather goods fluctuates every year, and 45 Wen is the lowest price I set. Like some merchants who are preoccupied, the price will be lowered harder. Let's quote a little higher price and bargain. The leeway is also larger, and we can do our best to ensure that we do not suffer losses.

Those variegated rabbit skins were finally sold at a price of [-] cents, which should be within the acceptable range of the money shopkeeper. In fact, we quoted [-] cents a piece, and in the end we gave him [-] cents cheaper for each piece, so we should be able to sell it. . "

Mu Yang sighed: "Hey, I didn't expect that there are so many ways in this business, we are still too naive."

Gu Xinfang smiled, didn't say anything, but looked at Tang Yaoling and said, "Da Lang, is there any way to get the tribute-grade silks and satins in the place where you said you were collecting gems?"

Tang Yaoling thought of Gu Xinfang's previous agreement with Ai Guli at the Daqing Town Mutual Market, so he guessed his plan. Exchange those gems for silver, and then use the silver to buy top-quality silks and satins. This saves time and trouble.

Then he opened his mouth and said: "I don't know if there is a place where gems are collected. It is a silver house that specializes in jewelry, but I know that the Duan family business in Nandu accepts barter, and under the name of the Duan family business, There is a weaving workshop, and some fabrics in the weaving workshop are used by the royal family.

Moreover, the Duan family business has pawnshops in various state capitals, and they should have accumulated a batch of top-notch fabrics, porcelain, etc. that have been pawned in their hands. We can try it out, and maybe we can get good things in exchange. "

Gu Xinfang had an idea in her heart, and immediately asked Tang Yaoling to lead the way, and Chen Huiyin found the Duan's business, and smoothly used all the gems in her hand to exchange for tribute-grade silk and cotton silk.

In the mutual market in Daqing Town, merchants from the Western Regions can exchange a gemstone for a bolt of colored satin, which is regarded as an exchange of equal value, but the value of the goods exchanged by both parties will increase several times when they are brought back to the prosperous cities of their respective countries.

For example, the gems in Chen Huiyin's hands were only a dozen or so, but they were exchanged for [-] pieces of tribute-grade silk and cotton silk. Because porcelain is not easy to carry, and they still have to sell goods to Yizhou Prefecture, so they plan to wait until the return trip buy again.

Afterwards, they stayed in Nandu for another two days, sold some of the fur goods in their hands, and then took the exchanged cloth, the rest of the fur goods, and about 500 taels of silver, and boarded to Yizhou Prefecture. merchant ship.

The journey went smoothly. On the afternoon of the third day, when they arrived at Yizhou Mansion, they still rented a small yard short-term. It took Gu Xinfang two days to clear out all the fur goods in his hand.

And this batch of fur goods earned them a little over two thousand taels of silver, and then everyone sat around and converted the silk and cotton silk in their hands into money. After deducting the cost and other expenses, the total was 900 taels of silver. 100 taels, plus the estimated value of those silk and cotton silks is 3000 taels.

Tang Yaoling, Mu Yang, and Wei Chen can each share 410 taels of silver, and the remaining 870 taels will be shared equally between Chen Huiyin and Gu Xinfang.

However, Tang Yaoling and the others hadn't got the money yet, so Gu Xinfang asked Gu Xinfang to buy tea, Shu brocade and porcelain, and continue to make money with money.

Gu Xinfang kept the account book, and then successfully purchased tea, Shu brocade and porcelain, and a batch of grain from the tea merchants. Because there were so many goods, they were competing with large merchant ships. There were many families, and they were afraid of losing money when they were few. , so I packed a small-scale merchant ship alone, but I didn't expect that I almost lost my life because of it.
