Chapter 2: The Wicked Guest Comes to the Door

Yo, you really can't underestimate the ancients!

"This big brother, I am not the only one store that sells clothes, the prices of clothes in more than a dozen ready-to-wear stores in the city are about the same, you can find out anywhere you go, if I lie to you, you will not agree, right? If you're interested, you can take a look, buy one get one free isn't always available, while supplies last! ”

Zhao Junsheng had a smile on his face, in fact, he knew best in his heart that the profit margin of the garment industry from ancient times to the present is very large, whether it is to buy one get one free, or buy three to get two free, it is impossible to lose money, it is nothing more than small profits and quick turnover, and his purpose is just to quickly return the funds.

In the Northern Wei Dynasty, where barter, there was no very clear standard for the value of goods, which gave a lot of room for maneuver.

"How do you sell this gray skirt?" A middle-aged man asked, holding a suit of clothes.

Zhao Junsheng immediately said: "If you give money, a set of four hundred and twenty yuan; If the fabric is changed, the high-quality fabric needs one zhang, and the general cloth needs one zhang five; If it is silk, it needs six feet; Silk five feet five inches, if you exchange brocade for ······"

"That's all there is to it! Giving you money! ”

Greed for small and cheap is a common psychology, everyone has the idea that it is a bastard to be cheap, and people have the psychology of blindly following the trend, seeing someone buy, others also began to choose.

Packing, collecting money, and receiving goods, Zhao Junsheng was very busy, and Hua Mulan also recovered from her stunned eyes and immediately went up to help collect money and pack.

The news spread quickly, and they all wanted to get a bargain, and the crowd that came to buy almost blocked the entire street, and the front of Zhao Kee Garment Store was not lively.

It wasn't until after noon that the crowd gradually dispersed, because all the stock in the shop had been sold out, and there was not a single thing left!

Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan were already tired and had a sore back after they put the stall into the store, and the two began to count the money on the counter with the cash box.

"A total of thirty-six taels and two hundred and thirty-five dollars!" Zhao Junsheng muttered, he looked at the grain, silk, silk, and cloth piled up on the side of the store, and said: "These can be pulled and sold, and a sum of money can be returned, but even if you sell all of these, the money you get is not enough to repay the payment owed to Xingyuan Dyeing Workshop, it seems that you have to think of another way!" ”

Zhao Junsheng looked at these things and felt quite helpless, at this time the Northern Wei court did not mint coins at all, almost all the coins circulating in the market were the Eastern Han Dynasty five-baht coins, Cao Wei five-baht coins, and a small number of two Jin five-baht coins, but because these coins were less kept, forty percent of the market transactions were bartered, cloth and silk became the main currency and circulated, and grain trading was also more popular.

Hua Mulan said: "These cloths, silks, and silk can still be kept, and you can't eat these grains alone, so it's better to find a carriage to pull them to the grain market and sell them!" ”

"Well, Mulan, you look at the store, I'll go find the carriage!"

Hua Mulan stopped him: "Your body hasn't fully recovered, it's better for you to stay and watch the store, I'll go find the carriage!" ”

It didn't take long for Mulan to call a carriage, and she beckoned to the coachman: "This big brother is doing me a favor and carrying these grains in the store to the car!" ”

"Great!" The coachman agreed, walked to the store, picked up a sack of grain, and walked out.

And Hua Mulan was holding a sack of grain under each of her left and right arms, Zhao Junsheng was dumbfounded, he didn't expect that Mulan's body, which looked slightly weak on the outside, contained such a powerful power, and a sack of grain was at least one hundred and fifty catties, so she walked like flying with two sacks of grain.

A cart of grain was pulled to the grain market and quickly sold, Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan still walked around the city, customizing a few things in several stores, and then slowly walked back to the store.

From a distance, the two saw three people waiting at the door of the store, and Zhao Junsheng recognized one of them as Yao Desheng, the shopkeeper of the largest cloth village in Suiyang City, and there were two entourages standing behind him.

Yao Desheng saw Zhao Junsheng coming back, and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Zhao, after waiting for you for a long time, you are finally back!" ”

Zhao Junsheng returned the salute and smiled: "I'm sorry, I didn't know that Shopkeeper Yao would come, I took my fiancée to play in the city just now!" ”

"It's really good to be young, Zhao Shopkeeper and his wife are so affectionate, they really envy others!" Yao Desheng made a joke and bowed to Mulan: "I've seen the girl!" ”

Hua Mulan looked very down-to-earth and generous, and said a blessing: "Shopkeeper Yao is polite!" ”

Zhao Junsheng opened the door of the store and invited Yao Desheng into the store to sit down, and Hua Mulan made tea for the two of them, and then returned to the backyard.

"Shopkeeper Yao, please use tea!" Zhao Junsheng picked up the teacup and gestured to Yao Desheng, and asked, "I don't know why Shopkeeper Yao came to the shop?" ”

Yao Desheng took a sip of tea and said: "Last time, Shopkeeper Zhao said that he wanted to sell this shop to the contemptible people, but at that time, the contemptible people felt that the shopkeeper Zhao wanted to fake too much, so he didn't agree, and the price given by the contemptible people, the shopkeeper Zhao was too little, and the business was not negotiated. On this day, the contemptible people thought about it, and felt that the price given by the contemptible people was indeed lower, do you think this will work, and the contemptible people bid eighty yuan, how about it? ”

Eighty? This shop is worth at least 120 yuan! Yao Desheng wanted to sell this store at a low price of 80 yuan, and he really dared to speak.

Zhao Junsheng couldn't help muttering in his heart, he knew from his memory that the business of his store was very good in the past, because this store was at the intersection of two streets, with a good geographical location and a large flow of people.

Since last year, this Yao Desheng has taken a fancy to the location of this store and wants to take it down, when Zhao Gui was not dead, he naturally refused to sell it, Yao Desheng relied on his wealth and strength to unite with other cloth shops, tailor shops, and ready-to-wear shops to suppress, not only cut off the supply of goods, but also carry out a price war, where is Zhao Gui's small business opponent? In a fit of rage, he fell ill and died, and the business in the store deteriorated.

Zhao Junsheng smiled, got up and said to Yao Desheng: "I'm really sorry, at that time, my store couldn't continue to operate, and I urgently needed money turnover, so I found Yao's shopkeeper and wanted to sell this store, but now I have no plans to sell the store, you see that the ready-to-wear in my store has been sold, and the funds are no longer so tight, so ······ Let the shopkeeper Yao run for nothing, I really don't want to go, forgive me, forgive me! ”

The entourage on the left behind Yao Desheng couldn't help but say: "Shopkeeper Zhao, you are too unkind, you were looking for my master to sell the shop, but now our master sincerely comes to negotiate the price with you, but you don't want to sell it, you don't do business!" ”

Shopkeeper Yao waved his hand to his entourage and smiled, "Little Brother Zhao, in this way, I will add ten more dollars, what do you think?" ”

"Shopkeeper Yao, this is not a matter of adding money, you also know that this shop was passed on to me by my grandfather, if it wasn't forced to do nothing, who would sell the ancestral business? You say, don't you? Besides, this shop is my only place to stand, and if I sell it, I'll have to live on the streets, and you can't let me sleep on the streets, right? ”

Yao Desheng looked at Zhao Junsheng and said in a deep voice: "Brother Zhao, you make a price yourself, if the contemptible person thinks it's okay, let's make a deal, if the contemptible person thinks the price is too high, the contemptible person should not have come, the transaction is not benevolent and righteous, and we have to eat and drink together when we meet in the future!" ”

Zhao Junsheng couldn't help but smile bitterly, and bowed his hand again and again: "Shopkeeper Yao, this is really not about money······

"Come on, despicable people understand!" Yao Desheng got up and said to Zhao Junsheng: "If Brother Zhao wants to sell it in the future, you can also come to find a contemptible person!" ”

"I'm really sorry, let Shopkeeper Yao run for nothing, you go slowly!" Zhao Junsheng gave up his hands and watched Yao Desheng leave with two entourages.

Yao Desheng slowed down after leaving Zhao Ji's garment shop with two entourages, and the original smile of Maitreya Buddha disappeared in an instant, turning into a gloomy face that could drip water.

The attendant who followed on the right said loudly: "Master, is this the end of this matter?" You've been planning for more than a year to get this store, and if you give up at this time, won't all the work you've done for more than a year be in vain? ”

Yao Desheng said with a calm face and a cold tone: "Zhao Ji Garment has such a good geographical location, Zhao's father and son don't know how to operate, it's just a tyrannical thing!" Since Master Ben has taken a fancy to it, he will never let it go easily, and he will never give up until he gets it! ”

"Master, the kid surnamed Zhao refuses to sell it, so what are you going to do next?"

Yao Desheng sneered: "Since this kid doesn't know how to lift, let's give him some appetizers!" So, come with your ears! ”

The attendant on the left stepped forward and whispered a few words in his ear, and the attendant nodded again and again: "Understood, the little one knows how to do it!" ”

In Zhao Ji's garment shop, Hua Mulan walked to Zhao Junsheng's side from the backyard and asked, "Brother Junsheng, what is this shopkeeper Yao here for?" Why did you leave so quickly? ”

Zhao Junsheng shook his head and sighed: "This Yao shopkeeper is not good, he wants to take down my shop, although I still owe a lot of money to the dyeing workshop, but it has not yet reached the point of selling the shop!" In fact, the business of our store was still very good before, it was because this shopkeeper Yao fell in love with this store, so he had the bad intentions to unite the dyeing workshop, all the cloth villages and tailor shops in the city to suppress our Zhao Ji garment, and the dyeing workshop no longer supplied us with goods, and the city gave other cloth villages, tailor shops, and garment shops to work together to reduce prices, so that my Zhao Ji garment business was difficult and difficult to move an inch! ”

Hearing this, Mulan said indignantly: "I didn't expect this surnamed Yao to be so hateful, if he comes again, I will definitely break his dog's legs!" ”

Zhao Junsheng looked at Mulan in a daze, Hua Mulan realized that her performance just now seemed to be a little unladylike, her face was quite embarrassed, and she quickly explained: "I'm just talking, how can I do it with him?" ”

Zhao Junsheng shook his head and said: "So far, the means used by the shopkeeper Yao are all normal commercial competition methods, and they have not been rude. By the way, I have sewed a new banner earlier, you can help me take off the old flag, hang the new one, and change it to an eye-catching signboard in the hope of attracting the attention of pedestrians on the street! ”

"Good!" Mulan agreed, turned around and took the new brocade flag from the tailor's workbench and walked outside the door to replace the old one, and then went back to the backyard to clean up.

At this time, another person walked in outside, and at a glance, he learned that this was Wang Xingyuan, the owner of Xingyuan Dyeing Workshop, and he sighed in his heart, and immediately understood what the other party was here for, and he must have come to collect the debt!
