Chapter 1178 Take a few more, it's not worth a few dollars anyway
Of course, business is not benevolent, he still has a good impression of Yang Cheng, a gentry child, and being able to put down his body to run a business in person is not something that ordinary gentry children can do.
So he symbolically bought ten mirrors and shipped them back to Suzhou to see how the market reacted.
Of course, these ten mirrors are only those small-area clamshell lady mirrors, as for the kind of desktop mirrors and dressing mirrors, they are really too expensive, too expensive, and he doesn't have the courage to accept them to test the market.
Yang Cheng didn't show any disappointment in his reaction, but this was what he expected!
He never thought that the dressing mirror he had spent a lot of money to build could be sold, it was a luxury jewelry of thousands of taels of silver, ordinary trading companies would not take this risk at all, and even those desktop mirrors were not his main products.
His real goal is actually those clamshell lady mirrors, although he only took the goods of ten mirrors, but this is not bad, do business, you have to come step by step, if they sell well, this shipment will definitely be large.
After making a good start in the first trading company, Yang Cheng ran more than ten trading companies in a row non-stop, not surprisingly, most of them symbolically bought a small number of clamshell lady mirrors, as for the desktop mirror, none of them were sold, and the dressing mirror did not even ask the price, because you don't need to ask to know, this thing must cost thousands of taels of silver.
After running for three days in a row, Yang Cheng successfully did business with sixteen trading companies, in this process, his identity as a descendant of the Yang family and the signboard of Jiujiang Glass Company played a great role, although those trading companies were not optimistic about the luxury jewelry in the mirror world, but they were also willing to spend dozens of hundreds of silver to buy Yang Cheng a face.
After three days of running, he had already sold all the clamshell ladies that he had tried to produce before, and successfully returned more than 1,000 taels of silver, more than half of which were profits.
However, this is only a few hundred taels of silver profit, which is far from enough for a glass factory with a huge investment!
In order to further open up sales, he set his sights on the local market in Shanghai this time, and this time he did not say that he was looking for a local mirror trading company in Shanghai, because he had already been there.
Now, he is looking directly at the city's large shops that specialize in gold, silver and jade jewelry, as well as the high-end ready-to-wear shops, all of which have a special feature of catering to high-end customers, and most of these customers are women.
Although it is said that due to the social atmosphere, those rich ladies and ladies will not show their heads out to go shopping most of the time, but people can directly take the carriage and go straight to the shops, and then the shops will close directly to entertain, or these shops will directly take the goods to the homes of those rich ladies and ladies.
These shops are Yang Cheng's next goal!
So after a little study, he just took the products that came out of the rush and started to run the business one by one!
I have to say that Yang Cheng is a very tenacious person, with his status and status, he can go to the Qinglou teahouse every day, and spend his days wandering around all day like other gentry who don't learn or know how to do it.
But he went out early and returned late every day, and put down his body to run the business one by one.
It didn't take long for the entire mirror industry in Shanghai, and even the practitioners in the high-end luxury jewelry industry to know that a very desperate gentry descendant had emerged in Shanghai, opened a glass factory, and engaged in high-end mirror business.
But they weren't laughing at Yang Cheng!
On the contrary, I admire Yang Cheng!
However, I have to work hard to do business in person, and I still put down my body to run the business in person, just this attitude is beyond many people.
After all, people in the real society are not stupid, and people will not ridicule others for no reason, even if they are other gentry children who look down on Yang Cheng to do business, but they have to admire this Yang Cheng, as a child of a gentry, but he can put down his body and do this kind of unseemly thing, he can't do it without admiration!
Yang Cheng naturally doesn't care about what the outside world says about him, this period of time can be said to be the most fulfilling period of time he has ever lived!
Growing up, he never felt so fulfilled!
If he is busy, he used to be even busier when he was studying, he was reading and studying with books all day long, and he was still forcing himself to read if he couldn't read.
It's a pity that he doesn't have this talent!
Now that he has done business, he feels that this business is really suitable for him, and every time he negotiates an order, it can bring him great satisfaction, and this satisfaction is something that he can't feel when he studied in the past, because he used to study and was at the bottom of every exam......
With a sense of satisfaction, he goes out early and returns late every day, running this house today, which one to run tomorrow, he is even busier than the workers under him.
However, all these efforts have also paid off for him, and he has successfully placed his clamshell lady mirror in more than 20 high-end shops in Shanghai.
However, he doesn't know how to sell it, because it is now the stage of just distributing goods, and many people don't know that there is such a high-end lady mirror now.
So on this day, Yang Cheng was cheeky and went to the high-end jewelry store opened by the family that had an in-law relationship with him, ready to personally observe the sales of this batch of ladies' mirrors.
This store is also the one that buys the most from him, and there are more than 30 ladies and gentlemen's mirrors!
It's just that he is a man, and he is also an outsider, in order to avoid embarrassment, it is naturally impossible for him to run outside to entertain customers, but to stay in the lounge next door, listening attentively to the female clerks outside entertaining those rich ladies and ladies.
At this time, the store has begun to close as before, needless to say, everyone knows that there must be a female dependant of a certain powerful family, this kind of family comes to shop, and the store is closed to entertain that is the most basic, and the person who entertains must also be a woman, if a big man like Yang Cheng dares to go out to entertain, it is quite rude, after all, men and women do not kiss.
Although Yang Cheng can't see it, he can hear the words outside, listen to the conversation outside, the person who came is called Mrs. Chen, the clerk is obviously very familiar with this Mrs. Chen, and the words shouted out are quite familiar, of course, this kind of familiarity is not a familiarity between acquaintances, but every sentence is a familiarity with compliments.
The clerk didn't say anything about sales at first, but praised Mrs. Chen's dress, blood and so on, and coaxed Mrs. Chen into laughter, and then listened to Mrs. Chen: "Sweet mouth, okay, are there any new styles in your store recently, just pick a few!" ”
With this opening of his mouth, he knows that he is either rich or expensive, otherwise he can say a few such things!
In this shop, even Yang Cheng himself didn't dare to say anything and pick a few things at random, because the things in this shop, although they bought gold, silver and jewelry, but people pay attention to the latest styles, master-level exquisite craftsmanship, the cheapest jewelry here has to start with dozens of taels of silver, and the expensive ones are hundreds of taels and thousands of taels.
Ordinary silver jewelry can be sold for dozens of taels of silver, which shows that the things in this store are not ordinary expensive!
Then Yang Chengcheng heard it, and the clerk began to recommend it, and the recommendation was very high-level, which made Mrs. Chen quite satisfied, and she said 'wrap up' several times on the spot.
When people say this, they don't even ask the price!
In the end, Mrs. Chen suddenly said, "I heard that you have a new lady mirror in your store, right?" ”
Hearing this, Yang Chengcheng, who was sitting behind, immediately pricked up his ears, for fear of missing a word.
Immediately, I listened to the clerk and said: "Mrs. Chen is really well-informed, our clamshell lady mirror has only arrived for three days, I didn't expect Mrs. Chen to already know, even if you don't say this, the small one is ready to show you!" ”
"This thing is produced by the glass company run by the second son of the Yang family in Jiujiang, it is worthy of being a gentry family, and the vision is not to say, the lady mirror made here is like a work of art!"
"Come, Mrs. Chen, show me, this is it!" At this time, the clerk obviously took out the lady's mirror and showed it to Mrs. Chen.
At this time, I heard Mrs. Chen say: "Sure enough, this is it!" ”
"Yesterday, when I went to the mansion of Lord Fuzun with our master, I saw that Mrs. Fuzun was holding this kind of lady's mirror!"
"What a noble identity Mrs. Fuzun is, this mirror that she usually holds in her handbag naturally needs this latest clamshell lady mirror to match her identity!"
Then the clerk changed his words and said: "Mrs. Chen, you are Mrs. Tongzhi, on the ground in Shanghai, you are as noble as Mrs. Fuzun, and naturally you need this kind of clamshell lady mirror to be able to match your identity!" ”
Mrs. Chen didn't answer, Yang Cheng probably was carefully looking at his flip lady's mirror, and only after a while did he listen to Mrs. Chen: "This little thing is really good, it looks very clear!" ”
"Isn't it, this lady's mirror is currently the clearest mirror on the market, more than a little stronger than those ordinary goods, with this mirror, the whole person is a lot younger!"
Mrs. Chen smiled: "You can talk, if you don't buy a few pieces, you're afraid you'll say I'm old......"
"How dare you be small!" The clerk said, "This is for you?" ”
At this time, Yang Cheng quickly heard Mrs. Chen's answer: "Wrap it, it's just a gadget anyway, it's not worth a few dollars, take a few more, and you can use it when you go back to reward people!" ”
