After Yun'er practiced in the middle of the night, she carried a few pieces of satin cloth in the air, which was the kind of chemical fiber silk that was very similar to silk. Usually one side is very smooth, similar in appearance to five satin, but denser than five satin. It is mainly used for all kinds of women's clothing, pajamas and underwear. This product has a good gloss drape, soft feel and the effect of artificial silk. In exoticism, it is used to make casual pants, sportswear, suits, etc., and is the fabric of bedding. However, it has poor air permeability and water absorption. There are many types of satin cloth, mainly matte satin cloth, matte non-twisted satin cloth, twisted satin cloth, satin cloth, elastic satin cloth, etc.

Because the eldest sister repeatedly told that the cloth bought by the three princes from foreign lands should be brought back to the Qing Dynasty at the price of similar products in the Qing Dynasty, and if the price was lower than that of the Qing Dynasty, it was likely to crush other silk villages. The satin cloth they bought was made of purified chemical fiber material, which was cheaper than other chemical fiber textiles. In addition, they are bought in large quantities from manufacturers and enjoy the factory wholesale price, which is cheaper, only two yuan a meter, and even a piece of five meters. That is, five cents to seven cents a foot. The price of Hedaqing is only three and a half cents! What fabric is this price? If you sell it at this price, something will definitely happen! I had to set the price at the lowest price of silk: fifty wen a foot.

The use of satin cloth is also many, not only for clothes and bedding, but also for lining and packaging. But the Qing people don't know that chemical fiber is worthless, looking at the so bright, soft, slippery and slippery satin cloth, the price is so wide and strong, as soon as the fabric is on the counter, the long queue appears. The width of 1.5 meters is smooth and white, and it is best used to make dirty clothes. Some people reminded Ruiqian: "Don't sell the wrong shopkeeper Chen, and lose the price so much that you can't wear pants." ”

Rui Qian was taken aback by what this person said, and hurriedly asked Tian Liang: "I said Brother Liangzi, the price you set is right, right?" How can such a good silk be fifty dollars a foot? ”

"This is not silk weaving, it is a chemical fiber product, you can sell it at fifty wen a foot, that's right. I have to make it clear to the guests that this fabric is afraid of high temperatures. ”

Tian Liang is sure that it is fifty Wen, then it is right. As soon as he wanted to start buying cloth, a master who had not yet entered the stream came to the Terracotta Division, shouting to separate the crowd: "Hey, hey, hey! Who is the shopkeeper? ”

Rui Qian hurriedly came over and hugged his fists and saluted: "Below, my surname is Chen, may I ask who you are ......?"

"I'm the official of the Soldiers and Horses Division, I said that the shopkeeper Chen, you come out to take a look, how far is the queue? It's going to be a hindrance. What do you sell in your store? What's wrong with not wanting money? ”

"The small shop is a cloth village, so naturally it sells cloth. I also ask the officials to help maintain order, which means that you can drink tea. ”

"Shopkeeper Chen is an understanding person, there is a golden plaque of the emperor on the door, and he is so modest, it is easy to say. I'll help you shout and shout. Lean to the side of the queue, watch out for the carriages! ”

Tian Liang and Nalan, who were standing in the crowd watching the excitement, said: "Big brother's business is really a bit troublesome, that guy was originally looking for faults, and giving a small piece of silver became to maintain order." It's so quick to change faces. ”

Nalan said: "These guys can be grandsons in order to pick up silver for nothing." ”

It's still available in limited quantities, and everyone can buy five-foot colored tin. However, the notice said "smooth silk", and the word satin was not easy to understand by the Qing people.

Some bought it for their children to use for their marriages, and when they lined up at the counter and told Rui Qian that it was for marriage, they could sell it to him for an extra ten or twenty feet.

I was so happy to buy it, how could there be silk at this price? Shopkeeper Chen also said that it was a "fairy" product and was afraid of heat. Do not boil water, do not roast.

The two guys work together to cut the cloth instead of tearing it by hand, which means that the fabric is strong. Exotic cloth is sold by two salesmen working together to cut the cloth, so that the amount of cloth will not be crooked.

The satin cloth sold at the moment is one meter and a half in size, which is twice as wide as in the Qing Dynasty. The opposite side is measured, folded over, aligned with the edge, the two guys straighten the opposite side, and the fast scissors rush to the end, and the ground is cut with a brush, much faster than pulling.

"I said shopkeeper Chen, you are really good at the sky, no silk village has this kind of smooth silk, where did you buy the goods from?" A very stylish middle-aged guest came.

"This is the owner asked Zai to sell the goods to the next place, where he bought the goods from, Zai Xia doesn't know, and he just asks."

"The brocade on your counter is expensive enough, why is there such a price difference?"

"It was the real Hangzhou brocade, made of pure mulberry silk. It's not the same thing as smooth silk. ”

"Which one is strong?"

"Pretty much."

"In that case, why is it sold so cheaply?"

"This is the price set by the owner, and he says he can sell it however he wants."

The questioner put out the fire on his own, but he understood very well that the proprietor that Shopkeeper Chen said was his backer, and a Han people could get a golden plaque from the emperor, how hard a backer it was!

The next day, there were more people who came to buy "slippery silk", Ruiqian felt that the guests were queuing up under the sun, and they didn't buy anything strange after waiting in line for a long time, so they asked Dazhang to go to the house for help and bring a few more horses. Even ten horses are not enough to sell, and the market is really optimistic. Tell Da Zhang that if you ask Manager Tian to bring another material, the price must be mentioned, the previous one is too cheap.

Da Zhang hired a car to come to the house, and told Tian Liang about the situation, Tian Liang didn't dare to call the shots, and ran to the garden to find the prince, and the prince said: "Then mention it, Ruiqian understands better than us." ”

Tian Liang found Yun'er, Yun'er said that it was easy to do, asked Tian Liang to wait for a while, accompanied Da Zhang, and then opened the fish and water, meditated on the bed in the room, and carried six satin cloths with flowers in the air. Then let Jing'er, who was working in the hall, tell Tian Liang that she had found the "slippery silk", and in the No. 3 room downstairs of the west annex building, find a few personal soldiers and guards to send Dazhang to the carriage at the door with an electric four-wheeled vehicle, the price is eighty yuan a foot, and the cost of this kind of satin cloth with flowers is also high.

Tian Liang and Nalan followed the car to Yulong Buzhuang and told Chen Ruiqian that what they sent was smooth silk with flowers, which could be sold for eighty wen a foot.

This kind of satin cloth is the kind of very long cloth roll, and the flowers on it are very beautiful. Among them, there are big red grounds, white polka dot satin cloth, butterfly flower print satin, pink flower satin, plaid satin, stripe print satin, hibiscus flower print satin.

Of course, the people in front of the queue could see the new cloth, and they shouted with joy that they bought it, and when they left the store, they opened it for the people who were lining up outside. The people outside were also so happy that they inquired: "How many more cloths do you have with flowers like this?" Can we buy it? ”

"The six colors are all very good-looking, but unfortunately I can only buy five feet."

The domestic stores in the house have also begun to sell smooth silks. I bought a lot of satin cloth in a foreign land, and Yun'er wanted to buy it back as a paste packaging box for lining, who knew it would be so popular.

Most of the cloth brought back by the three princes was at a price that the common people could afford, and it was converted according to the retail price of an exotic land. Because these cloths are wholesaled at the factory price, there is already a difference between wholesale and retail prices. Just make up an integer a little bit up, so it's easy to settle accounts.

These two pieces of floral cloth are very suitable for young women to make gowns, whether it is Han people, Manchu people, women of any nationality can use it. It looks like it's watery and clean. This is Yun'er's vision, which is more traditional and somewhat conservative. But if you buy the irregular, overly painted or very strange patterns of the exotic land, no one will dare to buy them.

As soon as the flower cloth was put on the shelves, it became a fast commodity. The people standing in the queue instantly became a long line. In order not to be noticed, Ruiqian asked the people in line to line up from the door to the courtyard behind, so as not to occupy the road and affect the traffic.

The 600-meter-1,800-foot small flower cloth was sold out in one afternoon. is still limited to five feet per person to sell, so some people are dissatisfied, shouting: "Who is it not sold to?" ”

Rui Qian brought a chair, stood on the chair, and saluted the person who bought the cloth, and said: "Everyone, you are the shopkeeper of this cloth house, don't you know how to sell more and make more money?" But the owner of the next family is a Buddhist, and he is very charitable. These cloths were brought back from far away so that more ordinary people in the Qing Dynasty could buy this kind of flower cloth. These cloths are not produced in our Daqing Dynasty, and both the textile level and the printing and dyeing level are superb. But you know what? For these goods, the proprietor's people were once kidnapped by gangsters and almost couldn't come back! If you use such a thing to turn it upside down, you will be too sorry for the owner. Thank you for your understanding. ”

Ruiqian's words brought tears to the eyes of many women.

The next day, there was no flower cloth to sell, and it was already eye-catching, so it was enough to stop. Sell pure cotton lining cloth instead, which is the kind that is sewn into the quilt. The color is white and the texture is delicate, which is a good fabric for wedding quilts.

Chen Ruiqian's cloth sold on behalf of many repeat customers. It may have tasted the sweetness of wide cloth. The ladies of large families who rarely go shopping are increasingly frequenting Ruiqian's Yulong Cloth Village, and characters such as ladies, young ladies, young grandmothers, and housekeepers often linger in front of the counter.

Don't look at the Qing Dynasty people were very poor, there were still a lot of rich people. Many families were very rich in the Ming Dynasty, and their homes hid gold, silver, jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, which were quite profound. Some of these people were officials and businessmen during the Ming Dynasty, or they were themselves century-old nobles. In the more than 280 years of the Ming Dynasty, a large amount of wealth was accumulated, and now it is not spent on "Chongzhen Tongbao", and gold and silver are also hard currency. Don't underestimate these people, they have a lot of purchasing power. It's just that it's usually very low-key, and the widows of the Ming Dynasty still know how to hide their wealth. The young masters and ladies of these families are very well-educated, and they usually don't go out much, but if they encounter goods that can appreciate in value or can be emulated and used to make money, they are very generous.

The wide-faced cloth of "Yulong Cloth Village" is not only strong, but also very smooth, and it is also very cheap, and some people want to hoard a little, and in the future, this cloth village will be out of stock, so they can take out the hoarded and sell it at a high price. Therefore, there are all kinds of people of different statuses who linger in and out of the cloth village all day long, and when there is a new kind of goods, they line up to buy all kinds of fabrics according to the limited quantity of the store.

In fact, Ruiqian has already noticed this situation. These people wandered around the inside and outside of the cloth village, chatting together when they were not buying cloth, and pretending not to know each other when they stood in a row. It must be buying fabric. Fortunately, I didn't bring a lot of cloth, and the shopkeeper spoke when I ran out of sales: "Ladies and gentlemen, I'm sorry everyone, the cloth is sold out, can I come back another day?" ”

"Hey, it's not an inch, it's gone when you get to me? I don't believe it! Shopkeeper, you must still have it in the back room. This was said by a well-dressed young man.

"Then please go to the back room and have a look."

Hearing what the shopkeeper said, the young man was embarrassed to go to the back room. So he asked, "What's next?" ”

"This ...... It's really hard to say in the next. These fabrics are sold on behalf of relatives, and when the goods are delivered, I will put the new fabrics on the counter. ”

"Won't you stock it yourself? Why wait for ready-made ones? ”

"What you said, I don't have that ability to wait for ready-made. These cloths are all from abroad, and I don't have the guts to travel across the ocean. ”

"Foreign? But as far as I know, foreign countries, that is, those big-nosed countries in the West do not produce silk. ”

"I didn't say that the goods in the store were from the West."

"Where is that produced, can you tell me a story or two?"

"No comment, please understand."

Rui Qian didn't know which foreign country the prince's brother-in-law got it from, but he was looking forward to not running out of stock, and Rui Qian really made a lot of money during this time. No need to buy, no cost, where to find a good thing!

Other cloth and satin farms are all purchased from outside, and the purchase channel is one of their business difficulties. is not only a problem of supply, but also quality, price difference and transportation, just like the situation in the TV series "A Generation of Big Business", some merchants are because of a little personal grievance, unscrupulous means to harm others, and put the leaves and grass into the packaging of fabrics. In fact, the three princes also had this experience, that is, the white note and the rat's nest of the arts and crafts factory. These merchants do not have a little moral standard, and regard making money as a skill. In the end, it's all yourself. This kind of practice and behavior are despised by the prince, and he has never had the idea of cheating people, let alone doing such dirty things.

Yulong Cloth Village is well-known in the entire Qianmen Street, many cloth villages, silk village shopkeepers come to the cloth village to see the situation, among them want to spy on trade secrets, there are also kind reminders, Rui Qian is very aware of it. Seeing that the Suzhou-Hangzhou brocade sent by the emperor was unpopular because of the high price, Ruiqian discussed with Tian Liang what to do. Tian Liang said: "In fact, these brocades sent by the emperor are of the best quality. If no one buys it, pull it back and let Fujin make ready-to-wear clothes. ”

"You're okay, brother, your brain is very active."

"You're teasing your brother again."

"Hey, I said brother, I heard that you took a concubine? Or was it given by the old lady? ”

"Don't mention it, but do I dare to refuse? There are more than 400 people in the house. ”

"How's that girl? Isn't it weird? ”

"That's not it, he seems to be quite honest, he just works in his own room and doesn't have contact with anyone. How can the men in our family take concubines? As far as I stand out. ”

"Your official is also the biggest."

"Big brother, do you have no opinion at all about the person who gave your uncle's official position to my father?"

"Did you have an idea or did your uncle have an idea? Don't you see how moisturized I am now? What is the purpose of being an official, not to make more money? Is it bad for me to make money directly? Don't you and your uncle want to know anything? ”

"Yours is big enough."
