Chapter 323
Lu Yougui was finally persuaded by his daughter.He sold some of the silks and satins in his hand with slightly inferior quality, and sold them for more than 50 taels of silver. After taking care of her daughter, she asked Mo Han and Mrs. He for half a day before she said to Chunying: "Father knows that you used to discuss life with Brother Hu, and met the world with the second old lady and the second wife in Dongfu, so you have gained some courage. Come out, it’s just that Jiangnan is different from the capital city, you are not familiar with the place here, and you are a girl’s family, you should be careful in everything, don’t think that you are smart, so you don’t take others seriously.”
Chunying knew that his words were advice, and solemnly responded: "Don't worry, Dad, I know how much I weigh."
How can Lu Yougui rest assured about this: "You should store your money carefully, and don't hand it over to others easily. Although Mo Han is good, you have to remember that men and women are different, where you live... it's better to rent it outside, rather spend more Don’t treat yourself badly if you have some money. Let Mrs. He stay with you and don’t let others gossip. Although Mo Han is Brother Hu’s former schoolboy, he is a young man after all.”
Chunying opened her mouth and nodded helplessly.
Lu Yougui thought for a while, and then said: "If you are really in trouble, and Mr. Xu and his wife are not here, you can go to Jing's house for help, or Miss Huijun. You also know how many people from these two families were involved in the wedding a few days ago. , if the matter is urgent, you can give it a try."
Chunying said: "I know this, I have written down the addresses of their two families, maybe I can sell our materials to them. And... if there is really something that cannot be decided, I will go to Changshu Elementary School Brother Fei went to his house to ask his housekeeper for advice, I think that Grandpa Zhang is a seasoned person, and...not an outsider."
Lu Yougui pursed his lips, nodded, "Yes".
The next day, Chunying sent her father on the boat back to Beijing.Although Li Jing didn't understand why the Lu family wanted to keep their daughter here, he entrusted the Yue family to take care of her, and even suggested that Chun Ying move to the Jing family's house.Chunying declined, she has nothing to do with the Jing family, she is the niece of their son-in-law's housekeeper, what kind of status is she living in their house?
Back in Suzhou City, she first sent Mo Han out to inquire about the housing rental market, and then rented a small courtyard with two entrances near the city gate near the river for a period of three months.Mo Han lived in the front of this small courtyard, the main hall was cleaned up and prepared as a place to receive guests, while Chunying and Mrs. He lived in the small upstairs in the backyard, and the downstairs room could be used as a warehouse.Although the house is a bit old, it is small and elegant. There are a few tall trees in the backyard. It is very cool to live in in summer. Although it is not as spacious as the courtyards in the capital, it is still comfortable.
However, Chunying didn't have the time to savor the comfort. Once she settled down, she immediately found Wu Di's house according to the address her father left.
Probably because the news had spread, a bunch of merchants had gathered at Wu Di's house, and they were bargaining noisily.Wu Di was originally in a hurry to sell the store and the goods to keep the price down so low. He didn't expect so many people to come to buy it. How could he suffer a loss due to his nature as a businessman?As a result, the price has been raised again, and the original eight cents a piece of cloth has been raised back to ten cents and two cents. Merchants who want to buy cloth know the original low price, so why are they willing?When the counteroffer reached a penny, they froze, and neither side would take another step back.
Chunying secretly regretted that if she knew about it, she would have bought the goods before renting a house.It's just that in the current situation, it's really hard for her to squeeze into a crowd of old and young men and follow the panic buying. As soon as she rolled her eyes, she asked the maid to send a message that she wanted to visit the Wu family's grandma.
Before coming, Chunying thought that the Wu family was keeping a filial piety, so she specially changed into plain clothes, and asked Aunt He and Mo Han to change out the brightly colored silk flowers, ornaments, belts and so on. I got a good impression.Then Chunying expressed her condolences appropriately, and advised the bereaved family not to be too sad. After comforting her, she just mentioned her intention of coming.Grandma Wu only felt that there were so many merchants outside, and only this girl was the most considerate, unlike those profiteers, who knew that there was a funeral in their family, but still wanted to add insult to injury!
But she also said that she can persuade her husband to consider Chunying as a buyer, but she can't decide on the price. It is impossible for Chunying to get the material for eight cents.
Chunying was already prepared in her heart, so there was nothing to be unhappy about. After careful calculation, if she received the fabric at a price of one cent and one cent, and shipped it to Suzhou, she would be able to sell it for around one cent five cents to one cent seven cents. , if it is sold to merchants in the north, it may have to be raised a little bit more, so I still have some profits. This business is still done, but it is a pity, not as ideal as previously expected.
However, she had other plans.
Grandma Wu was a little surprised by the price she offered. Although it didn't meet her husband's requirements, it was higher than the merchants outside, so she asked the girl to invite her husband to the front.
Wu Di still vaguely recognized Chunying's appearance, and knowing that Lu Yougui sent his daughter here, he smiled and said: "Since Lao Lu wanted to take over, why didn't he say so the day before yesterday? The price at that time is not available now."
Chunying also laughed and said: "My father had no money at that time, so he had to give up, but after thinking about it, he felt that there was something to do, and he made an appointment with a merchant to see the goods, so he let the little girl come Let’s go. Mr. Wu, we are acquaintances, so we might as well save those fake ones and see the goods first. If it’s good, our family will pay you a penny for two thousand pieces of high-quality cotton cloth, what do you think?”
Wu Di was reluctant, and worried that if the merchants in the front yard knew that he had sold the cloth at this price, how could the remaining cloth be sold at a high price?What's more, two thousand horses only accounted for [-]% of the total goods, and the amount was too small, so they insisted that they cost one penny and two cents per horse.
Chunying calculated and calculated in her heart, gritted her teeth, agreed, and asked to see the goods first.In the end, she was sure that they were all high-quality cotton cloth, but there were some inferior quality or old cloth mixed in. She smiled, picked two thousand pieces of high-quality cotton cloth, and said to Wu Di: " Master Wu, that’s all, please help hire a boat to transport it away.”
While Wu Di scolded the little girl, she had no choice but to order someone to carry it. Chunying didn't bother with him, and directly paid 240 taels of silver—there was also her private money here, which was really a waste of money!
Maybe it's because she was straightforward enough, Wu Di's face looked much better when she received the money. When Lian Chunying asked him about the source of the goods, he also said it straightforwardly, including Songjiang, Jiading and other four or five areas. There were dozens of weaving households in Suzhou City—he didn’t plan to do this business anymore anyway—and wrote letters of introduction for Chunying.
This is what Chunying wanted, and she took it with a smile, and said a load of good things before leaving without disturbing the merchants in the front yard.
Taking these cloths back to Suzhou City by boat, Chunying went directly to the inn where there were many merchants from other places, gave Xiao Er a drop of money, and asked Mo Han to bring the samples to the door after finding out the names of several rich and powerful merchants. Promoted.Although it was Mo Han's first time to do this kind of thing, he was a little nervous, but luckily the cloth was good, and the other party bought the whole batch of cloth at a price of 60 cents per piece with almost no counter-offer.As soon as Chunying changed hands, she made [-] taels of silver, and when she returned to the small house, she couldn't help but be secretly happy.
With the money, she ran back to Wu Di's house the next day, and found that those merchants were still arguing endlessly with Wu Di over the price, and now they have paid back nine cents a horse.Wu Di was in a hurry, how could he stand up to their hardship?Almost gave up, seeing Chunying, it was as if seeing the sunshine in winter, and hurriedly said: "One penny and two cents a horse! Take it all if you want! I'll give you another twenty horses!"
Chunying said with a smile: "Master Wu really likes to joke, how can I have such a capital?" No matter what Wu Di said, he didn't agree, and finally he and his wife couldn't stand it, so he "reluctantly" said: "If it's a money I will buy another [-] horses."
Wu Di's eyes widened, Chunying just lowered his head to drink tea, and after a while, put down the teacup: "Master Wu must be in trouble, I'd better go back, my father sent a letter, saying that he has bought more than 100 horses The good label cloth is short of [-] taels of silver to pay the final payment, so he asked me to send the silver to him, and now I will take a boat there, and it will be delivered before dark."
Wu Di hurriedly stopped her, thinking carefully, if he couldn't get rid of the goods, the trip would be delayed. Those merchants outside might have already formed an alliance to force him to accept the low price. Buying [-] horses at a price of [-] yuan might motivate them to accept the price. Although it was much lower than expected, it was better than being forced to eight cents a horse, so they gritted their teeth and agreed.Chunying immediately urged him to sign and pay the contract, went to the warehouse, picked out [-] bolts of good cloth, and quickly hired a ship to transport them away, also without showing his face in front of other merchants.
She still sold these cloths to the previous big merchant, took the silver and went back to her residence. Later, she only heard that Wu Di sold all the stocks at a price of one penny a piece, and went back to her hometown by boat the next day. All the businessmen who took over the goods were complaining in private, not knowing which one reached an agreement with him, causing everyone to spend more money.She secretly laughed, and did not do such things anymore. On the next day, she sent Mo Han to inquire about the needs of merchants from other places, while she changed into commoner clothes, chartered a boat, and took Mrs. He with her. Go to the weaver's house that Wu Di said to receive the goods.
In Suzhou City, as well as in Songjiang, Jiading, and Changshu, there are countless families engaged in household cotton textiles, and some of them weave particularly good cotton cloth, which can often be sold at high prices.Chunying is looking for such a family.She is a woman, and it is easy to talk to those aunts and aunts who weave, unlike other male merchants, who have to connect through a middleman.She has been in the hawker business herself, and knows how to please people. She has also dealt with various people in the Hou Mansion and Dong Mansion. the purchase contract.Next, she only needs to wait three to five days, and when she calculates the time correctly, she will charter a boat and collect it along the river without any effort. After half a day, she can receive fifty or sixty bolts of cloth.
Although this amount of cloth can only earn a profit of two or three taels of silver, which is far from the previous big business, but Chunying told herself that she should not be too ambitious, two or three taels of silver is almost her previous monthly money It is twice as much, she can earn the previous month's income in one day, what is there to be dissatisfied with?
In the blink of an eye, more than a month has passed. Chunying is doing the work of receiving and selling goods every day, and occasionally encounters big deals. The funds on hand are accumulating more and more people, and gradually accumulating A group of contacts.Among the weaving households in Suzhou City, rumors began to circulate that there was a Second Sister Lu who was very fair in her business. She only accepted high-quality fabrics, and she paid the most readily. She also had a good eye. Come out and have never been fooled.
There were more and more people selling cloth to Chunying. Gradually, even merchants from other places knew her name and began to come to her.Chunying thought that she had been tired for a long time, and it was time to take a break, so she changed the original mode of operation and asked Mrs. He to receive the goods, while Mo Han was in charge of contacting foreign merchants and inquiring about things at the port by the way, while she was in charge of coordinating and searching for goods. New sources.When the time entered the third month, the signboard of "Lujia Yahang" had already been put out.
Just when Chun Ying was calculating that her father should be back, Mo Han suddenly ran back and said, "Girl, I found out, it's the second young master's news!"
