Datang: My apprentice is Li Chengqian

Chapter 122

Lu Tianwu came to his family's Lu's linen shop early this morning.

Qin Xiedao vigorously promoted the new type of "clothing" such as wool thread in the "Datang News". As the largest linen merchant in the Tang Dynasty, Lu Tianwu naturally raised his vigilance.

Although he didn't believe that the woolen thread was as powerful as the newspaper said, he wouldn't take it lightly.

"Lang Jun, I bought ten catties of wool thread. It was exactly as advertised in the newspaper. Buy two catties and get one catty free. Ten catties of wool thread only cost [-] Wen in total. This is definitely a very low price." price up.

The most important thing is this wool thread. If you just touch it, it seems to feel very good. It not only has a smooth feeling, but also seems to be very warm. "

Soon, Lu shopkeeper of Lu's linen shop came to Lu Tianwu with a bunch of woolen threads in his hands.

"There are so many woolen threads, just spinning them into thread, the cost will not be low? Yiguo government has set the price so low, can it still make money?"

Lu Tianwu grabbed a gray ball of woolen thread and examined it carefully.

These wool threads now only have one color, which is relatively monotonous.

But for the common people, whether it is monotonous or not is not important at all.

The important thing is to be affordable and practical.

To put it bluntly, it is cheap and easy to use.

"The material of these wool threads is the wool that people used to throw away like garbage. That Ma Zhou went to Liangzhou to buy it, and it probably didn't cost much money.

However, it is definitely very troublesome to clean the wool and then spin it into wool.In my opinion, the cost of this wool thread is basically more than ten yuan per catty.

Now, not to mention the two Wen per catty after the discount, even the original price of Three Wen per catty, it would definitely be a blood loss.

The previous "Datang News" was trading at a loss, and the same is true for the current woolen thread. I really don't know if Qin Xiedao's brain is flooded. "

Shopkeeper Lu stood beside Lu Tianwu and expressed his own analysis.

Although there is no conclusion on whether the wool thread is very useful or not.

But at the price of two pennies a catty, the material cost of a woolen sweater is only a few pennies. This price can directly kill linen in seconds.

Although if it's just a linen dress for summer, it only costs a few pennies.

But thick clothes like winter clothes are definitely not something that can be solved with a few pennies.

But that's how Qinji Wool Thread Shop sells things.

No wonder Shopkeeper Lu felt that Qin Xiedao had lost his mind.

This is a problem with money, and with other shops in Chang'an City.

If the wool thread is really useful, what other cloths will the common people buy?
"If you beat the old master to death with random punches, if someone like Qin Xiedao who doesn't follow the rules messes around, our life will be very difficult.

The wool shop is only a few hundred steps away from us.

I want to see if Qin Xiedao just made a gimmick to make money at a loss when it opened today, or whether it will always be at this price in the future. "

Lu Tianwu walked up and down the shop a little anxiously.

Although wool thread and linen are not exactly the same thing, they both belong to the category of "clothes" after all.

There is only so much demand for "clothes" in the entire market.

If you sell more of this item, it means that you sell less of other items.

"Lang Jun, I think that whether the price is two Wen a catty or three Wen a catty, it will definitely not last long.

They just want everyone to accept the wool thread first, and then slowly increase the price later. "

Shopkeeper Lu has calculated the cost of wool thread himself. Even if there are some deviations in the calculation, he feels that the cost is far more than three pennies.

Under such circumstances, he does not think that Qinji Wool Thread Shop will always be sold at this price.

There are people in the business of decapitation, but no one in the business of losing money.

"However, judging from the promotion on the "Datang Daily", it only said that there will be a discount of buying two catties for one catty today, but it did not say that after the discount period, the price will increase from three pennies per catty to other prices."

"Actually, we don't need to care so much. On the contrary, I have a way to trick Qinji woolen thread shop and let him know that doing business in Datang is not something that can be messed with."

Shopkeeper Lu's eyeballs moved, thinking about it.

"Oh? What can you do?"

Sure enough, Lu Tianwu, who was already angry in his heart, immediately became interested after hearing what shopkeeper Lu said.

"Isn't it two cents a catty today? According to our speculation, this price is definitely a big loss, so we simply spend a lot of money and arrange for people to buy wool yarn on a large scale.

In this way, the more we sell, the more they must lose.At that time, after the price of woolen yarn in their shops rises, we will sell the woolen yarn we bought back in the market.

In this way, you can still earn a lot of money. "

The more shopkeeper Lu talked, the more he felt that his proposal was very good.

Not only can it cause trouble for Qinji woolen thread shop, but it can also bring a very considerable income to the family.

"What if people don't raise the price all the time?"

Lu Tianwu was a little moved, but also a little worried about messing it up.

"Even if there is no price increase, as long as the discount is cancelled, it is equivalent to a price increase."

"Okay! Then you can go buy a few hundred pennies first, even if you lose it, it won't hurt the overall situation."

The price of wool thread is so low that Lu Tianwu can't believe it.

He couldn't find a reason to reject Shopkeeper Lu's proposal.

Since Qin Xiedao can resort to low-cost measures to disgust other cloth merchants, it is nothing for him to buy wool thread openly, right?

If I really said it, I was supporting the development of Qinji Wool Thread Shop.

Even if Qin Xiedao didn't thank himself, he couldn't say why he didn't come, could he?
"No problem, I'll arrange a few carriages now, set aside a special warehouse, and then go to Qinji Wool Thread Shop to wipe out all their inventory."

Shopkeeper Lu was in a very good mood when he thought that he would be able to treat the disgusting Qin family openly and aboveboard soon.

Although the Lu's linen shop he was in charge of hadn't had any great contact with the Qin family before, let alone any conflicts.

But when the Lu family sold the coal deposits, they suffered a huge loss, and it became a joke among the nobles in Chang'an City.

Also as the shopkeeper of the Lu family, shopkeeper Lu naturally has some opinions on the Qin family.

Now that the fire of the wool thread is on his own head, how can he be polite?
If he could use this opportunity to make the Qin family's wool workshop dirty, then his shopkeeper Lu's reputation in the Datang business district would definitely rise to a higher level.

His enthusiasm for this kind of thing must be very high.
