What is the cost of this? At present, the first batch of goods are Yiwu small commodities taken from Fengcheng wheel boxes, and then they are made in batches through the industry. () The cost is almost negligible. The only thing he felt uncomfortable with was that the return of funds was too slow, and according to this way of settling accounts, the goods released during the New Year could not be settled until May, and now their funds were all withdrawn from the 200,000 li owed to them by Gao Ju, and this money had to be used not only to pay for the opening expenses of the Guangzhou advance station, but also to pay for the large quantities of materials purchased here. It is not good for them that the collection is too slow.

But this layer didn't need to talk to Shen Fan, he only nodded: "You are right, if these many customers operate at the same time, the capital will inevitably be stretched." So I have some other ideas. ”

"Please show me the proprietor."

"Are the jewelry toys in Guangzhou City in tandem with each other?"

"This is natural." Shen Fan thought that this was a very common phenomenon, there were many rare treasures in the world, and every store could not be fully stocked, no matter how big the store was, he had to go to the guild to find the goods.

"So there are some goods that we can put to the industry to do." Guo Yi said, "Do you have to settle the bill in three sections if you collude goods between peers?" ”

"No, the local rule is that if you don't regret it after three days, you will have to settle the bill." The shopkeeper Shen had roughly made his meaning clear: "What does the proprietor mean by approval?" ”

"That's good," Guo Yi nodded.

"It's okay, although the string goods make less money, but the real money comes back quickly. However," Shen Fan was a little worried, "Does Zizhen have so many goods to put away?" Now the Gao family has approved crystal mirrors on the market. ”

"What is the crystal mirror?" Yi breathed a very relaxed tone, "If you like to sell it, let him sell it." I have more haode things here. ”

Shopkeeper Shen was startled, what did the crystal mirror count. He knew that a few days ago, at the Fire God Temple, the jewels were colluding with each other. The most common black crystal mirror released by the Gao family has been sold for 100 taels, and the retail price on the market is as high as 180 taels. Mirrors like this. Lifting it high at once can release about five to ten sides. Completely in short supply. The proprietor actually said lightly, "What is it?" and "There are better things". What could be better?

"Excuse me, the proprietor. What treasures is Zizhen going to deal with? Shopkeeper Shen was curious for a long time and couldn't help but ask.

Guo Yi did not answer. The curtain was lifted behind him. A large standing cabinet was revealed.

This cabinet made Shopkeeper Shen gasp: except for the stand. The outer walls of the cabinets, doors, and partitions are all made of glass!

Glass. Shen Fan has seen a lot, and it is basically all kinds of glass devices. It's crystal clear like this. Entire panes of glass as if they were nothing. He had never seen it. Make a large cabinet out of this lot of glass. This spirit, this means. I couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration in his heart.

The "proprietor" stammered even when he spoke. "Is this one made of glass?"

"Of course." Guo Yi was very satisfied with Shen Fan's performance, "Shen shopkeeper doesn't want to buy the pearls, and I don't look at the objects inside?" ”

"Yes! Be! Shen Fan excitedly stepped forward and it turned out that this was a sample display case, a total of four were removed from the Fengcheng wheel, in addition to the shelves were newly made of rosewood, and the old glass was made of fine quartz sand and felt. By the standards of the 21st century, the sense of transparency is very average, but this plane is remarkable.

The first thing that caught his eye were the rows of pearl necklaces, bracelets and rings, which were not only large in size but also round in shape, all of which were rare and high-quality, as well as rare pink pearls. Shen Fan estimated that these beads alone could be sold for hundreds of taels at the largest, and three or four taels at the smallest.

All kinds of small compacts, made of wood, carved bamboo, tortoiseshell, inlaid with gold and silver, all kinds of different materials, this itself is not rare, but each compact is inlaid with a small crystal mirror on the inside. Although it is small, it is also a crystal mirror in the end.

Rows of glassware, dazzling, all kinds of glasses, dishes, wine utensils, and even tea sets, each piece is crystal clear.

"Is that enough?"

"Enough! Enough! Enough is enough. Shen Fan was very clear in his heart, and the treasures of Australian maritime merchants were all found from glass. To say that glass is not too rare in Guangzhou, but their things are many times better than other people's. Whether it's a red-haired or a Franco-human, it's a big difference.

"Shopkeeper Shen, this is just a part of the object." Guo Yi turned around and closed the curtain again, "Naturally, there will be new ones in the future." Then he pulled out a white notebook, "Look at it." ”

Shen Fan opened it and saw that the snow-white paper was outlined with black patterns, all of which were ornaments. The style is extremely peculiar. He has been in the jewelry industry for many years, and he has seen many kinds of jewelry, and master craftsmen have also encountered some such styles

I've seen it. If you look closely, the style is either simple and elegant, or gorgeous and smart,

It's not something that ordinary craftsmen can make.

"This is," Shen Fan asked with an inquiring gaze.

"This is Yan Maoda's painting." Guo Yi said, "I'm going to make a batch for Miss Pei Lixiu from Ziming Building, do you have any craftsmen who can do this?" ”

"Yes." Shen Fan replied without hesitation, the master craftsmen in the general jewelry industry, all shops are specially raised, and it is easy to find them outside, but he is well-informed, and he knows that a Bao Hengxiang has just been closed a few years ago, and the craftsmen and men who are scattered inside have no work at the moment.

"Okay, then it's up to you to recruit them all." Guo Yi thought for a while, "The guys inside, as long as they are reliable, can also be used." The treatment is according to their past standards. ”

"Proprietor, right now, our Zizhen has a shop, and now we have two young guys, is there more people to enter?

"Not much. In the future, I have a business to open, and such people will be kept first, isn't it just a person who eats more. "Guo Yi thinks that I will have more business to do in the future, and if I don't reserve all the professionals now, I will be useless at that time. In ancient times, the flow of talents was not faster than now, and people with a little skill would have worked in a shop for a lifetime if they had not changed. Unless you're looking for apprentices and laborers, it's hard to get someone available at all times.

"The proprietor has foresight!"

"Tomorrow I will find some plasterers and prepare for a new one."

"Proprietor, it's a matter of building a house, but what's the use of building a house?" According to Shen Fan, this Zizhen's house is enough, and it is too much to build a house. ”

"I'm going to build a workshop." Guo Yi said.

"Build a workshop?" Shen Fan's heart moved, and he lowered his voice and asked, "Could it be that Dong is going to make crystal mirrors here?" ”

Without waiting for Guo Yi to speak, this Shen Fan shook his head again and again: "The east can't make it, if you open a crystal mirror workshop in Guangzhou City, there are many big families who are connected to the government here." You're a foreigner again. Maybe someone secretly framed the proprietor in order to get this secret method. The husband is not guilty, but he is guilty. ”

Guo Yi nodded, he was very touched by the simplicity of the people of this time and space: "There is no such thing!" He said very firmly, reassuring him, "How to make the crystal mirror, even in my country is a secret, how can I make it?" He told Shen Fan about the plan of transporting blanks for local processing, "This can be done?" ”

"It still makes it." Shen Fan put his mind at ease, if he just transported the blank of the crystal mirror and added an outer frame, it was no different from a completely foreign in nature, and naturally he would not cause trouble.

"And man. There should still be a lot of unemployed men and craftsmen in the city now, you go out and look for more people, as long as people are honest and dutiful, and they want to come. ”

"This?" Shen Fan hesitated a little, "Proprietor, as the saying goes, interlacing is like separating mountains, it's okay to say, what do we don't need a craftsman ask him to do?" ”

"Shopkeeper Shen, do you think you're just a Zizhen's shopkeeper?"

Shen Fan was puzzled: "The proprietor"

"We didn't come here in Australia just to sell a few pieces of jewellery and glassware." Guo Yi tried his best to make himself look very "kingly", "You are the general manager of Zi's Enterprise Group!" No! The big shopkeeper! ”

Shen Fan listened to him in a daze, although he didn't fully understand what a corporate group, a general manager and the like were, but the word chief steward still understood that it seemed that the owner wanted to do other deals.

"This, proprietor, I only know about jewelry stores, and if you want to open other businesses, you have to ask the shopkeeper to intersect like a mountain."

"You are the chief steward, and there is naturally a shopkeeper to do specific things." Guo Yi thinks that Shen Fan is a suitable candidate, first, Shen Fan has received their great favor, and it is difficult to break the root of this disease, and only they have quinine in their hands at the moment. The second is that Shen Fan is the old land in Guangzhou, and the particularity of the jewelry industry makes him familiar with people from all walks of life, and it is very convenient to inquire about news or do things. Thirdly, he can work in the jewelry industry for a lifetime, and there must be no problem with his professional ethics.

"Xie Dong is the referee."

"Let's get some winemakers in the next few days."

"Do you want to open a brewery?" Shopkeeper Shen asked, "There is no good water here"

"It's okay," Guo Yi thought I didn't plan to make wine from grain at all, "Is there a shop in Guangzhou that sells clay roast?" ”

"Yes, there are wineries in the city, and there are also many wineries in the countryside."

"Go talk about the price and prepare for a big buy."

"Okay." Now Shopkeeper Shen will not be surprised by anything that this proprietor said, "Do you want to buy the winemaker?" ”

"You don't have to buy it." Guo Yi is very enthusiastic about the marketing of that famous brand of liquor. He received a telegram: the glass wine bottle, a key part of the planning plan for new bottles of old wine, had been successfully trial-produced in Lingao.
