Chapter 55: Annual Salary of 5,000 Taels (4)
"Fourth master, you're here. Crimson greeted warmly, "Do you want to choose some jewelry for the ladies today?"
"Yes. Ying Hao nodded.
Except for her, she only smiled at Crimson and nodded at Zhuang Qin. The rest of the people, whether it was Chen Jiao'er, Lan Niangzi, Hong Shao, Ziyun, or even Sizhi, although they were still standing behind Ying Hao honestly, those eyes had already penetrated the dense crowd and projected on the jewelry on the surrounding counters like X-rays. Women's love for jewelry is that no matter how calm they are on their faces, the light in their eyes has already betrayed them.
"There are too many people outside, can the crimson shopkeeper lead us to the back to choose?" At this time, there were mostly men in the store, and Ying Hao didn't want his women to be crowded with those men, so he asked.
"Please come with me. Crimson led them to the back of the shop and asked, "Do the ladies have any favorite styles?"
At this time, Chen Jiao'er and Lan Niangzi knew that they were reserved, and their two pairs of eyes silently glanced at Ying Hao, and they did not make a request. In the past, the jewelry that Ying Hao gave them was all precious, and they didn't have to ask for more on it. As for the style......
Ying Hao glanced at Crimson and didn't answer, Crimson already knew it in his heart, and instructed Zhuang Qindao: "You go and bring all the new batch of Chinese goods in the east today." ”
During the Qixi Festival, Liuli Pavilion not only did a lot of "selling", but also bought a lot. The people who came to participate in this grand event were not all single young men and women with a clear "purpose", but also many foreign travel businessmen who also wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune. For example, this batch of goods was obtained by Crimson from the traveling merchants of Linlang Country this morning.
On the first day of the Qixi Festival, this group of traveling merchants from Linlang Country took the initiative to come to the door, and negotiated with Liuli Pavilion, only borrowed the place of Liuli Pavilion, and paid a certain amount of "rent" every day. Crimson readily agreed to the deal.
On the first day, Crimson lent them a counter closest to the gate, and the group of wandering merchants took care of it themselves. As a result, except for some young ladies and ladies who happened to pass by, they were attracted by these more novel styles of jewelry, but they asked the price but it was too expensive, and at the end of the day, they greeted more than a dozen or twenty guests, but only sold one or two of the cheapest jewelry.
The next day, the group of wanderers asked for their jewelry to be mixed in the counter that Crimson was in charge of. They gave a price in advance, and if it was sold higher, the higher income would go to Crimson. Crimson also readily responded, but cut their price down by half on the spot. This group of traveling merchants has too much appetite and wants a million profits, but they are broken by Crimson. Just cut the pricing in half and they can still make a big profit. They are all connoisseurs, and this group of traveling merchants does not dare to bargain with Crimson anymore. In the end, they still have to use the fame of Liuli Pavilion to be able to set such a high price.
On this day, it was better than the previous day, and many more were sold, but it was still the cheapest jewelry. For example, if a piece of jewelry that was originally worth 100 taels of silver is priced at 500 taels, and if you sell one piece and you can earn 400 taels, it can be regarded as "a million profits", right? However, if it was originally worth 1 tael of silver, even if they were priced at 10 taels, they only made 9 taels of silver when they sold it, and they could no longer say that it was "a million profits." The crimson is still sold according to the price they have negotiated in advance. On the surface, Crimson was not greedy for the extra profits, but in fact, it laid the foundation for them to cut the price again on the third day.
On the third day, this group of traveling merchants also took the initiative to find Jiang Hong. They complained that Crimson didn't do her best to sell them jewelry, and that she couldn't help them sell much. Crimson had already prepared her words and told them them one by one.
First, the guests come to the door, everyone has everyone's vision and preferences, and the glass pavilion is not strong to which guest to sell a certain product. It's all the guests who see which one they like on the counter, and the price can be negotiable. Crimson has already put their most expensive jewelry in a more prominent position, but unfortunately, the price is too high to be negotiable. The guest asked once, and then he also knew that her crimson shopkeeper was a golden mouth, and those who could discuss were negotiable, and those who could not be negotiated did not need to ask again.
Second, although the jewelry styles they brought were novel, they had to sell them at such a high price just by style, although there were many guests in the Liuli Pavilion, from high-ranking officials and dignitaries to ordinary people, the number was also mostly ordinary people. Ordinary people can't afford it, and high-ranking officials and dignitaries see more precious jewelry and know the goods themselves. Just because I like the style of these jewelry, I will buy some low-cost ones, and I won't feel that I have lost too much.
Third, they said it at the earliest, they just borrowed the place of Liuli Pavilion, and how much their jewelry was priced, but Crimson didn't ask. It's okay to ask Crimson to help sell the hexagram in the middle, but if the guest asks, Crimson will tell the guest bluntly that these jewelry are not produced by Liuli Pavilion, but brought by their group of traveling merchants from Linlang Country, just borrowing the place of Liuli Pavilion, and Crimson will sell it on his behalf.
When the merchant heard this third point, he was immediately a little annoyed.
Crimson didn't wait for them to get angry, and she made a cold voice first. The gold-lettered signboard of their Liuli Pavilion can't make their group of people bad. Jewelry weighing one tael of gold can be sold for ten taels of gold with the signboard of the glazed pavilion and the craftsmanship of the craftsmen in the store, all relying on the trust of the old customers. If their jewelry weighs less than one tael of silver, they dare to ask for five hundred taels, and even if it is worth one hundred taels in itself, why should it be an extra four hundred taels? It is not because of the signboard of the Liuli Pavilion and the craftsmanship of the craftsmen in the shop. If they leave afterwards, the guests come to the door. Whether you think it's not worth it, or there is something wrong with the goods themselves, ask for a return or exchange. Liuli Pavilion's own goods are returnable, exchangeable and repairable. This batch of goods cannot be returned by the guests, and they need to be repaired, and the glazed pavilion can only ask for wages to repair. In the end, if Crimson hadn't explained it in advance, the guests would not have listened to her explanation and understood the original situation, but would only complain about the glazed pavilion. Could it be that Liuli Pavilion lost so much money to return and exchange it for them? Then it may make the angry guest smash the signboard, which is even more embarrassing!
One of the leaders of the group of traveling merchants also wanted to quibble, saying that their jewelry was of excellent craftsmanship and would never turn around and there would be any quality problems.
In exchange for another sneer, Jiang Hong sneered, and bluntly said that they didn't dare to pack the jewelry of the Liuli Pavilion, and there would never be any quality problems, so they promised the guests, if there was a quality problem, they could find it at any time, and the Liuli Pavilion would be responsible for repairing it for free.
