Chapter 50: Coming from behind
"Order! Why not!?" Gu Huai gritted his teeth, and this sentence popped out of his mouth.
"That Youlian ......" Tai Lai asked with some concern, but before he finished speaking, Gu Huai turned to Wang Mazi again and asked:
"When will your cloth be delivered?"
The tone is confident.
"Shouldn't you ask the price first?" Tai came to see the scene a little anxious, and asked Gu Huai.
Just now, a few people were still talking about high prices and low prices, and Gu Huai was also asking about the delivery date at this time.
"According to its raw material, that is, the growth cycle of intoxicated cotton...... Wang Mazi thought for a while and said, "It should be possible to make cotton silk at the end of each month." β
Then he looked at the back room again and asked Gu Huai:
"Little brother, you want to grab goods from others, have you thought about it carefully?"
Two customers in the same store at the same time to negotiate the price, can be described as grabbing goods.
"Yes, Gu Huai," Tai came to see You Lian, who was still talking in the back room, and also reminded, "I don't know about the five or six of Nasha, you'd better not offend even those people in the You family." β
"It doesn't matter," Gu Huai said to Wang Mazi, "Now that your price has not been negotiated, so the deal has not yet been sold, I can still join, right?"
Wang Mazi smiled bitterly and said:
"Alas, alas, too...... It's also ......."
"It's just that," Wang Mazi said to Gu Huai again, "I don't know what your price is here?"
"Dare to ask the shopkeeper what is the price of talking to others?" Gu Huai asked Wang Mazi, and the others who said it were naturally Na Youlian.
"Thirty taels of gold. Wang Mazi stretched out three fingers and said.
Gu Huai sighed in his heart, why is it just thirty taels?
This price is not low, and he is only just thirty taels of money within his means, and he has to compare with You Lian.
However, why hasn't You Lian bought it yet? Is it also stuck on Wang Mazi's price?
Maybe Sha Wuliu also promised him thirty taels of gold, and then bought the difference at a low price as a thank you?
"How much is You Lian?" Gu Huai still has to ask Wang Mazi, the so-called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, and not being defeated in a hundred battles.
"Thirty taels of gold!" It was You Lian who spoke, he had already seen the movement outside, and now he walked out, and said to Gu Huai with a cold face, "I didn't expect that you could come out to make new objects as soon as you entered the You Clan." β
"I've seen Brother You Lian," Gu Huai was polite, and said hello, not knowing the actual age of the other party, he simply called out to the young, "I also asked Brother You to raise his noble hand and let the younger brother buy this cotton silk." β
Gu Huai stared at You Qiu, thinking in his heart, this You Lian should have seen that he was grabbing the goods, and directly shouted the highest price.
He looked at You Lian's big long face, cold, just with a chin to himself, his eyes were higher than the sky, which was unpleasant, and he secretly decided to snatch this cotton silk into his hands.
"Well, there may be no way. You Lian shook his head and said coldly, "I am also entrusted by others to obtain this object. β
"Entrusted by someone?" Gu Huai understood in his heart. Somehow, he could feel the feeling that the other party had to participate in something that was not his business.
Wang Mazi glanced at You Lian, then at Gu Huai, and said:
"Little brother, this is just the top price on the list price, do you want to ...... it?"
Before he finished asking, Tai Lai looked at Wang Mazi with wide eyes and said:
"I said Lao Wang, you are too unrighteous. I know what you want to ask, it's nothing more than asking this little brother if he wants to buy it at a premium!"
The shopkeeper Wang was aware of his thoughts, rubbed his hands, and smiled at Tai Lai:
"Taber, you also know that we are both in business, and in this case, give yourself a chance to make money, and give each other a chance. β
Moreover, Wang Mazi said again:
"I do business in Mazi Cloth Village, and I only sell some acquaintances, and you, to be honest, are not old customers, so you have to talk about the price. β
Businessmen also have small calculations. Wang Mazi meant to ask Gu Huai if he was willing to pay a higher price to buy this cotton silk. It is also an unwritten rule that the higher price will get the goods.
Doing so not only gives buyers room to compete, but also gives merchants an opportunity to earn excess profits.
Of course, whether or not to do so depends on where, what is the sale, and who is doing it.
Some places do not allow premium grabbing goods, and only recognize the first to contact and negotiate.
There are also some places that feel that even if they are the first to negotiate, they may end up negotiating, so it is better to recognize the price.
Of course, there are also some places that look at both people and prices.
Mazi Cloth Village is such a place. This is also why Sha Er asked You Lian to do it, not only as an acquaintance with some status, but also to suppress some prices.
However, because of Gu Huai's involvement, this matter will be more or less biased towards the price rather than acquaintances. The reason is very simple, Gu Huai wants goods, but he is not an acquaintance, so he can only rely on price to win.
Gu Huai nodded lightly and frowned, as if he was trying to bargain.
But is there any room for him to bargain?
"Hey, little brother, You Lian just gave thirty taels, aren't you ......" Tai Lai saw that Gu Huai didn't say anything, thinking that he wouldn't refuse, so he leaned into his ear and chewed the root of his ear.
Indeed, Gu Huai just had thirty taels of gold, but on the one hand, he had to return the two taels of gold from the wooden shopkeeper, and he had to return the money from the treasure pawnshop every month. How is it good?
"Hey, it looks like there's really no way around it. Gu Huai muttered, and after speaking, he looked at You Lian, and saw that some colors about to win appeared on his already cold face at this time, and then turned to Wang Mazi and said, "I'll give eighty-five taels of gold, how about it?"
"What!" Tai Lai, Wang Mazi, and You Lian said in unison, surprised.
"Little brother, do you have so much money?" asked Gu Huai.
"Young man," You Lian asked without concealing his contempt at this moment, "Do you know how long it will take for a newcomer of our You clan to accumulate a wealth of eighty gold?"
Wang Mazi didn't deny it easily, but just turned his head sideways and asked Gu Huai:
"Judging from your words, little brother, you should only have thirty taels of gold as a base, why eighty-five taels?"
Gu Huai smiled, and then asked You Lian with a serious expression:
"Brother You, eighty-five taels of gold, I'll buy it, do you have no objection?"
You Lian's head shrank back unconsciously, as if he was startled by Gu Huai's expression.
He frowned lightly and said:
"This matter has nothing to do with me, if you buy it for eighty-five taels, I can't do anything. β
I don't know if it's pretended, You Lian's attitude is the same as when he said before that he was doing things for others.
At this time, Gu Huai's heart was more confident. Because he knew that the relationship between the two of the Nasha family and You Lian was better than that between himself and him, it was nothing more than that.
Then, Gu Huai turned to ask Wang Mazi:
"Shopkeeper, can we take a step to speak?"
"This ......" Wang Mazi looked at Tai Lai and You Lian, and said, "Is it appropriate to put guests here?"
Tai came to look at Gu Huai, then at You Lian, and hurriedly said to Wang Mazi:
"This Mr. You has me to accompany you for a while, you talk to Gu Huai first, maybe he can convince you?"
"So, well. Wang Mazi took Gu Huai to a house......
After a while, I heard Wang Mazi shouting from the inside out:
"Someone, go get a deed scroll for meβ"
"Yo!" Tai Lai heard that Wang Mazi was going to take the deed roll outside, and his face bloomed with joy, knowing that this matter was basically done. Because not to mention eighty gold, even the original price is thirty, and I am willing to give up a sheepskin deed of swaggering mountains.
As soon as You Lian saw this situation, his expressionless face became even more ugly, and he "hummed" in his mouth and walked away.
After a while, Gu Huai and Wang Mazi both came out of the back room.
Wang Mazi saluted Gu Huai opposite each other, and then sent him to the door of the house, and said with a smile on his face:
"I can't imagine that the little brother is young and has such a strategy, it's praise, it's praise!"
Gu Huai shook again and said:
"The king's shopkeeper's praise, I should do my best to complete this contract and add value to you and me!"
"I said Gu Huai, how did you get on the latecomer?"
"It's just a future business with him. Gu Huai said while handing the deed he had just signed with Wang Mazi to Tailai.
"What is a future business?" asked Taylor, unfolding the deed scroll, looking at the lines of text on it.
"Hey-" Gu Huai sighed and said, "I'll sell part of my future time to Wang Maziβ"
It turned out that Gu Huai had discussed with Wang Mazi and ordered all his boxes for the next three months.
Delivered at the end of each month, the total price is 90 taels, plus a discount of 5 taels.
Let's start with discounts.
Because although the output of this thing is very small, there are not many people who want it, Gu Huai promised to ask them to order one piece every month for the next three months, so he won a discount of five taels.
Wang Mazi has really never encountered this matter of placing orders in the future, especially the goods that are expected to be in the third phase.
Because their family is at most the previous issue to order the next issue, and they only talk about it verbally first, and then send someone over to talk about the price and accurate batch when they really want to place an order.
In order to grab this treasure as soon as possible, Gu Huai had to make this trick and use the method of signing a deed to persuade the king's shopkeeper.
Gu Huai expected that You Lian would only help deal with Sha Wuliu's affairs, and he would leave when he was done, and he would not think much about it in the future, so he had the confidence to use more money to impress Wang Mazi.
However, this trick also brought a new problem, that is, after Gu Huai ordered so many boxes, did he have so many beans to fill him?
That is, is there that much demand?
At this point, that is why Gu Huai said that he sold part of his future time to Wang Mazi.
Because he has to spend another time on the sale of Lalius beans.
It is not difficult to order a box, but it is not easy to fill the hole that you have made, especially since you are often subject to the second father and son of the Sha family in You's family.
"Wait a minute," Tai Lai listened, and after a while, he reacted, and asked, "Your method is feasible, but even if you order a box every month, you don't have the money, so how did you convince the shopkeeper of this?"
"I had to give some of the money to the king's shopkeeper. Gu Huai said.
That is to say, Gu Huai not only promised Wang Mazi an order quantity of one box per month for three months, but also promised him that he would also share some of the profits from the sale of these boxes.
"What?" Tai Lai was surprised, "Then your move is for Shopkeeper You's side, but it is cut first and then played!"
"There are some of these flavors," Gu Huai nodded, "but it depends on the price I negotiated with the guests of Liusi Bean......
"Actually......" Tai Lai seemed to think of something, and said to Gu Huai, "Actually, you don't have to be limited to those beans, other items that need to be kept fresh can be." β
Gu Huai heard Tai Lai say this, slapped his thigh, and said:
"Yes, Tabor, I've always been mindful of selling beans, and I didn't even think of it!"
His eyes lit up, and he continued:
"Thinking about it this way, I ordered this box for three months, but it is still less!"
Once it is used for food preservation, won't all the shops below the gold seal in Quansha Kuncheng be their customers?
Selling something to a store can make a lot more money than selling it to a single customer.
"But......" Taylor seemed to remember something.
"But what?" Gu Huai asked when he saw that Tai Lai was about to speak and stopped.
"Nothing, nothing. Tai Lai waved his hand, then looked at Shi Feilun, and said, "It's still early, let's go to the oasis to rest first?"
Gu Huai lifted the car window and looked up, it was already starry, the crescent moon was hanging high, he looked at Tailai curiously, and said jokingly:
"You regular coachman, you don't like to return late on weekdays, now we can all be called wearing stars and moons, and you still say it's early?"
"On weekdays, it's not too early. But today, in the white sand navel at this time, it's really early!" said Tai, referring to the white sand navel, which is the name of the oasis.
"Yo?" Gu Huai's eyes widened with curiosity at first, then he yawned and said, "What is it about your old bones that interests you so much?"
"I don't have any hobbies other than raising horses and driving them," Taylor said, "but I'm still interested in it." β
He thought about it again, and then said:
"It should be said that many people in Shakun should be interested in it. β
Gu Huai's soul injury has not healed, and he is really a little sleepy at this time, but listening to Tai Lai's words, it seems that he has some spirit again.
Moreover, didn't it mean that the power of the five elements in the white sand navel was more than in other places in the sand kun city?
However, he didn't know that after he got there, he really couldn't rest......
