Farmer girl swaps husbands: buys a sickly villain and pampers him

Chapter 58 Big Order
Zhang Zhaodi asked anxiously, "Where is that big customer now?"

Chun'e smiled and said, "Don't worry, Auntie. He won't run away. That important customer is a traveling merchant who is staying at the inn recently. As long as you give me a nod, I will go and invite him over right away."

"Nod, nod, of course I nodded. I'd also like to trouble the boss lady to introduce us." Zhang Zhaodi said.

"No hurry." Chun'e said, "Let's go in and count the money first."

Chun'e took out a box with a few silver ingots in it.

Those silver ingots look exactly the same, which is really pleasing to the eye.

In her previous life, Su Yaoguang was the wife of a top scholar. She exhausted all her energy in managing the inner chambers. No matter how much money she earned, Xiao Yanci would spend it all, so she became obsessed with money.

Now, looking at these intact silver ingots, she wanted to kiss each one and hold them for the rest of her life. However, in order not to scare Zhang Zhaodi, she had tried her best to restrain herself.

"This is the first time I've seen such a big silver ingot." Zhang Zhaodi touched the silver ingot again and again. "Jing'er, you touch it too."

Jiang Jing touched the silver ingot and said with a smile: "Godmother, we will earn more silver ingots in the future, and let you hold me while sleeping."

"Sister Chun'e, did that big customer say how much more goods he needs?" Su Yaoguang asked.

"He didn't mention that, but he was able to buy all the inventory at once, which shows that he's quite wealthy. He couldn't have asked to see you just for those ten or eight boxes of goods."

Su Yaoguang put the box away and handed it to Zhang Zhaodi, then said to Chun'e, "Then please ask him to come over for me. We'll discuss this deal today. If it's successful, I'll give you 10% of the profits."

"Wait here for a moment," Chun'e said. "I'll go find him now."

The mother and daughter drank tea and rested here, while Chun'e went out to look for the big customer.

Chun'e didn't close the shop, so there were still customers coming. Su Yaoguang acted as a temporary assistant and sold a lot of Chun'e's remaining goods. When Chun'e came back with a middle-aged man, she saw that her shop was full of customers, and the customers who bought things and left showed happy smiles, obviously very satisfied with their shopping today.

"I've only been away for half an hour, and you've helped me sell so many clothes." Chun'e held Su Yaoguang's hand and said, "You are worthy of being my benefactor. You are truly invaluable."

"Sister Chun'e, I'm sorry to be laughed at." Su Yaoguang said embarrassedly.

"Boss Li, this is the young boss who makes dressing supplies that I mentioned. Now I don't need to introduce her in detail, you should believe in her ability, right?" Chun'e said, turning around.

Boss Li smiled with satisfaction and said, "It's true that the young are formidable. I'm curious, how did you manage to sell so many goods?"

"Sister Chun'e's products are good, and many people like them, so of course they sell well."

Chun'e felt guilty.

This girl was such a liar! Her shop had so few customers because her wares were so tacky and outdated that she was on the verge of closing. It wasn't until she met Su Yaoguang and saw her ability to coordinate items that she was able to turn things around and bring her shop back to life. She hadn't seen so many customers today since it opened.

Chun'e looked at the clothes in the store. It was the same old stuff, but how did it become so popular in her hands? She would have to learn from her later. Only when she mastered the essentials would her business flourish.

"Boss Li, what business are you in?" Su Yaoguang asked proactively.

Boss Li stroked his short beard and said with a smile, "I own a theater. Our theater staff needs a lot of rouge and powder. I heard your product is selling well. I tried it myself and know it's good, so I want to buy more. This time I want 30 large bottles of each. How long do you think it will take to deliver?"

"Such a large quantity would take twenty days." Su Yaoguang said, "Is your home far away? If we don't have enough time, I'm afraid we won't be able to take such a large order."

"We can take it, why not?" Zhang Zhaodi winked at Su Yaoguang, "We can take it. Let's hurry up and take it, right?"

Zhang Zhaodi doesn't want the cooked duck to fly away.

A large bottle of facial cream could fetch two taels of silver, and thirty bottles would fetch sixty taels. Rosé powder couldn't fetch that much; a large bottle fetched five hundred wen, which still cost fifteen taels of silver. Not to mention, there were three or four types of facial cream, while only two types of rosé powder were currently available. There were also eye powders, rouge, scented powder, flower ornaments, lip balm, and perfumed lotions.

If Boss Li really ordered thirty bottles of each type, he could make several hundred taels of silver. This was no ordinary order. If he took it and spent frugally, he would be able to live comfortably for ten years.

"Twenty days is twenty days. I can wait." Boss Li said with a smile.

"In that case, then we'll pay the deposit first and then prepare the order. Such a large order will cost us a lot of money, so how about paying the deposit of eighty taels? What do you think?"

"Okay." Boss Li agreed immediately.

"Boss Li is such a straightforward person. What we like most in business is straightforward people like you. No wonder you can grow your business so big, big bosses are just different." Zhang Zhaodi said nice words.

After signing the contract, they saw Boss Li off.

"Boss, I really don't know how to thank you." Zhang Zhaodi said with a smile, "You said my daughter was your benefactor, but you are our great benefactor."

"Don't say that. Your products are good. Even without me, you would still make the same amount of money." Chun'e took Su Yaoguang's hand and said, "Sister, now that you've dealt with your affairs, it's my turn to ask you for advice. What method did you use to attract so many customers just now? Teach me quickly."

"First, the goods are of course good. There's absolutely no truth to that. We've put these things together, and if the customers like them, we'll have no problem finding new customers. Second, we'll give them a little discount. If they buy one, it's the full price. If they buy two, it's 20% off, and if they buy three, it's 30% off. Of course, it can't be too low, or we'll lose money. Also, give them some small gifts, like handkerchiefs, shoes, or socks... I'll get some trial sizes of powder or cream next time, and you can use them as gifts."

"That's not possible. Your things are expensive. It would be a big loss if you gave them to customers for free." Chun'e quickly refused.

"I'm not giving it away for free. If those customers like it, will they come back to me to buy it? This is to find customers for us." Su Yaoguang said, "There are always dishonest businessmen. Sister, don't worry that I will do business at a loss. I can endure hardship, but I can't suffer losses."

Chun'e was amused by her.

"This girl is really smart. I was the one who was overthinking it."

"By the way, here's a bottle of scar removal cream." Su Yaoguang took out a bottle of facial cream. "Last time you said that your cousin's marriage plans had changed, and it was all because of the scars on her face. This is what we formulated for clients with scar-prone constitutions. Let her try it. We've tried it, and the effect is quite good. This is our thank-you gift to your sister, no charge."
