Chapter Forty-Nine: Getting First
Early the next morning, Gu Huai and Heizai came to the warehouse, and Sha Er was already there.
Gu Huai found that there was a wound on Sha Er's face, as if it had just been formed, even if it was nourished by the divine power of Sha Kuncheng, it was still fresh.
"What are you?" asked Taylor, concerned.
"Ah, there were some chickens and dogs last night, and I didn't handle it well and was injured. Sha Er glanced at Gu Huai intentionally or unintentionally as he spoke.
Gu Huai's expression was a little unnatural at first, and then he calmed down.
He knew that Sha Er's wound must have been caused by tracking another mysterious person last night, and it had nothing to do with him, but he still had to say something about the scene, so he pretended to be concerned and said:
"Director, take care of your wounds. ”
"Little brother, you should also be careful. Sha Er smiled, there was no obvious emotion, but there was obviously something in that sentence.
The so-called careful attention is to guard against their own homes.
An hour passed, and Director Sha was busy receiving guests. is also because he was too busy, and basically didn't leave Gu Huai any chance.
Gu Huai was very anxious, but there was no way, many guests were Sha Er's resources, and he couldn't grab them.
Director Sha is the supervisor after all, how long has he been in the store, and how long has he been here?
To say that he himself is familiar with the goods, Sha Er is also familiar with them, and he is also more familiar with the guests. Today's Zhang San, tomorrow's Li Si, as soon as he comes, he greets him warmly, like his own family, how to break the game?
"Yo, it's so early today!" Sha Wuliu only appeared in Rangli in the afternoon an hour or two, and he still looked idle.
Gu Huai sighed in his heart, sighing that Sha Er, who is a father, is almost the year of destiny, and it seems that he is still helping his son to work, thinking that he has his own business, no matter how big or small, he must put an end to nepotism as much as possible.
Sha Er looked at the scene and not only his own unangry son, but also others, and also felt that something was wrong, so he glanced at Sha Wuliu and said:
"Why don't you go ahead and forget your mission!?"
When Gu Huai heard this, he sneered in his heart, isn't the so-called task of Sha Wuliu just to drive himself out? Thinking about it again, if he is really squeezed out by this Sha family's father and son, it will really be a troublesome thing.
"Little brother, do you have something on your mind?" Hei Zai looked at Gu Huai's expression unnaturally and asked:
Sha Er is also a keen person, and he also looked at Heizai's question, squinted his eyes and asked Gu Huai:
"Little brother, have you heard some new and old news lately?"
Isn't this damn suspicious that Lao Tzu overheard their conversation? Gu Huai secretly scolded himself, insinuating here.
However, he only prevaricated on the surface, shook his head and said:
"There's a lot of new things to learn every day, and the supervisor has a lot of guidance. ”
"You also have a lot of tricks, which round will you get our guidance?" Sha Wuliu sarcastically.
Gu Huai just laughed with "hehe" and didn't say much.
In this situation, he knew he couldn't do the wrong thing, and he couldn't say the wrong thing.
Remembering a quote from my father:
"On some occasions, don't say what you shouldn't say, and don't say what you should say!"
So, isn't it okay to reduce contacts and do your own thing?
However, he thought about it again, Shopkeeper You asked him to work with Sha Wuliu, he must have wanted to find out about this person's situation.
In this way, he has to have more contact with the two of them.
Perhaps, You Qiu already knows the relationship between the Sha family and the so-called Fan Master.
Gu Huaihuai felt that the more this was the case, the more this task had to be completed. I finally survived before, but I can't admit to this matter!
Early in the morning, Gu Huai did not receive a single guest.
He still had a few generals who were familiar with him before, but he was robbed by Sha Er and them.
Even Heizai is better than Gu Huai, and some receptions have also sold a few orders.
The more guests do, the higher the bonus will be, which is the same everywhere, and so is You's. Therefore, Gu Huai felt some crises and realized that if he continued to do this today, he was afraid that he would lose his harvest.
"Then my guests will share some with you. Black Boy saw some of these Taoist leaders, and said to Gu Huai when he passed by.
Gu Huai glanced at Heizai, grateful in his heart, but also a little struggling, but finally nodded.
If it was usual, he would definitely refuse, after all, he has his own stubbornness. But now, he has to be flexible, first to get himself some customers, then to find a way to keep them, and then think about the next step.
In the afternoon, Tailai led Xiao Tianluo to the door, met with Gu Huai, and went to Mazi Cloth Village.
Because the Kamiki Workshop has to wait for its notification before going to pick up the object. And the two taels of gold that Gu Huai owes Mu Qiang can also be returned when he goes to pick up the goods, so he will go to Buzhuang to ask about the situation first.
Zhitailai told Gu Huai that the goods of Mazi Cloth Village are good but the price is not cheap, so Gu Huai should go to investigate as soon as possible so that he can make the next step.
Previously, You Qiu also agreed with Gu Huai's suggestion and asked him to make new objects, so he didn't let him go to Liushifang to get beans for the time being.
Gu Huai looked at the pony, as if it had grown a lot in the past few days. Or are you dazzled?
"Tailai, is this the original little snail?" he asked.
"Which one are you?" Tai Lai smiled, "The animals in Shakun City are nourished by the aura all day long, and they grow very quickly. It can withstand the human world for four or five years in about a year, and the life expectancy is much longer. ”
This time, Gu Huai was still a little uncomfortable at first, but he learned some tricks from Tailai, and he gradually became acquainted.
For example, before getting on the car, you should first get close to the pony, touch the back, touch the head, and then walk around the halter for a lap or two, etc.
These are all about the same as the process of horse training in the human world, the only difference is that when you are about to drive, you have to call the horse's name three times.
"Little snail, small snail, small snail!" Gu Huai shouted his name three times, and the pony drove out.
Just out of Youshi, and then tell the small snail destination.
"Chengdong, Bojin Street, Mazi Cloth Village!" Gu Huai shouted, and Xiao Tianluo also shouted, as if he agreed, and then sped up.
The owner of Mazi Cloth Village is surnamed Wang, and he is known as Wang Mazi.
Gu Huai began to think that this was just a nickname, but he didn't expect that the shopkeeper really had a pockmarked face, not only a pockmarked face, but also potholes, and he felt a little uncomfortable when he looked at it.
Gu Huai even doubted that such a good-looking person could make good fabrics. You know, making cloth is beautiful!
However, it is really unseemly. When he entered the Mazi Cloth Village, he was dazzled by the goods in front of him.
A three-storey cloth village, on a scale that has never been seen in the human world, is full of all kinds of cloth and silk. Whole color, flower color, large color block, small flowers, red orange, yellow green, blue, purple, I am afraid that all the fabrics that can be thought of in the next day are here.
picked a blue and white porcelain, Gu Huai touched it, and the feeling was really smooth. Looking at Wang Mazi's face again, the contrast between the feeling and the sight is too great.
Gu Huaidu felt that his thoughts seemed to be a little witty - it turned out that the boss's appearance was the same, and the beauty of the object did not have much to do with it.
Thinking about it again, his father Gu Li knew a big businessman surnamed Ma in the human world, and he was not very good-looking, but the business was very big, and it really benefited the people, sigh......
"Hehe, if you're here, you're a guest! Both of you are friends, feel free to take a look!" Wang Mazi stretched out his hand to greet after being introduced by Tailai, and at the same time, a young man served tea.
"I'm right," he said as he walked around, "I'm afraid this cloth village belongs to one and two in the entire Shakun realm." ”
Gu Huai nodded and asked:
"And what do we have to do with this store?"
"In addition to some items to be synthesized and made that need the cloth here, the shopkeeper, his relatives, and some guys at the bottom, the clothes are all ordered here. ”
"Do you two also want to order cloth?" Wang Mazi saw that the two of them were almost turned, and came up and asked.
Seeing that potholed face again, Gu Huai was really a little uncomfortable, and sighed in his heart why he didn't look like the wind was late, what a beautiful world it should be!
"Ah......" Gu Huai paused and said, "Yes, but the amount may not be too large, do you think it's okay?"
"It's not just that Little Brother Gu is talking about a small amount, but what is the specific amount?" Wang Mazi asked, his face was pleasant, and he spoke unhurriedly, and he felt like a big businessman.
"Maybe it's just one horse. Gu Huai said.
"Ah...... A piece of cloth?" Wang Mazi also paused when he spoke, and asked, Xu didn't expect this amount to be so small.
Gu Huai nodded.
"Then dare to ask what kind of cloth do you want?" Wang Mazi did not judge lightly, first find out what the other party wants, maybe this piece of cloth can make a lot of money?
"You must be able to infuse qi, and the direction of qi can only be from the inside to the outside, not from the outside to the inside. Gu Huai said his assumption, that is, the request that the drunkard coachman reminded him at that time.
"Huh!?" Wang Mazi suddenly showed a surprised expression when he heard Gu Huai say this.
"Why is the king's shopkeeper so surprised?" asked Taylor.
"This kind of cloth is available, but because of the precious source of raw materials, I am afraid that only one piece can be produced a month, so there are not many people. Wang Mazi said.
"Why is it so rare?" Gu Huai asked.
"To weave this kind of cloth, you need to use a cotton core that grows in the cloak of the Green Goblin on the outskirts of Shakun City. And that thing is difficult to obtain, and second, it bears fruit once a month or only once and the output is small, and I have to wait for the city government building to distribute it every time. Wang Mazi said with some embarrassment.
"I'm talking about the king's shopkeeper," said Tai Lai, who looked a little impatient, "when you say that, isn't it just that the price is a little more expensive?"
"Hmm...... It's not all about price, either. Wang Mazi frowned and said.
"Then what are you doing around the bend, really!" Tai Lai urged.
Gu Huai vaguely felt that something was wrong.
Wang Mazi's eyes rolled, and then he looked at the inside of the store, and said:
"Money is not a problem, the problem is that you You have already come to negotiate this matter with me, what do you think I am?"
"What!?" Gu Huai's eyes widened and he asked, "Is there anyone else in our store who wants to buy this cloth?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a familiar figure in the back room.
The man was tall and thin, with a horse's face and a shrewd look.
This person, Gu Huai, remembered that he had taken a photo on the first day he arrived at You's, and it was Mr. You's bookkeeper, You Lian!
"What does he want this cloth to do?" asked Taylor.
The shopkeeper spread his hands and said:
"I don't know, I said that I remembered this yesterday and came to us today to order. ”
No, it's not. Gu Huai thought to himself. You Lian was rarely seen in business occasions, but there must be some reason for his sudden appearance and grabbing goods with himself.
Gu Huai guessed that this was most likely the work of the surnamed Sha, who wanted to hurry up and make something, so he went to Shopkeeper You to ask for credit.
Useful stuff Yuqiu certainly has no reason not to. In this way, your efforts will be in vain!
As for why You Lian came to the scene instead of Sha Wuliu, Gu Huai estimated that it should be that You Lian was a cronie of the You family, and it was more convenient and more likely to come forward to negotiate with Wang Mazi. After all, Mazi Buzhuang is so big, it is almost the scale of a trading house, and it should not talk to small soldiers.
Sha Wuliu can take this step, and it must be the relationship between Sha Er and You Lian and others, after all, Sha Er has also been in the position of supervisor for a long time.
"How much did he order?" asked Gu Huai.
The king's shopkeeper stretched out a hand and said:
"It's not a lot, it's a horse. Hey, there's no way, who calls you old customers and old friends, it's not for sale. ”
"Then you sold it?" Gu Huai asked.
"You wait," Shopkeeper Wang motioned for them to wait outside the house for a while, then went into the house by himself to take a look, and after chatting with You Lian for a few more words, he came out and said to Gu Huai and the others, "I am still negotiating the price with my supervisor, but there is still some controversy, you know, I am also doing business......"
"Oh, the king's shopkeeper," Tai Lai waved his hand and said, "Don't you just want a higher price!"
The shopkeeper smiled and nodded, and then asked:
"Do you still have an order?"
"What about this cotton silk...... Shall we still order it?" asked Ty as he looked at the valley.
