Chapter 3 The spring breeze in February is like scissors
Du Guo stayed in Luoyang for ten days, did not visit anyone, and did not meet anyone.
Ten days later, Du Guo quietly left Luoyang, going back and forth, without even alarming many officials in Luoyang. As for Zhang Qiu Taiyi, he did not appear in people's sight. Most officials only know that Du Guo came to Luoyang on business, but what exactly does he do? Not many people know.
Then, among the Heluo clan, there was news that the prince intended to move the capital.
However, it is only circulating in a small area, and most people are not aware of it at all.
When Du Guo left, Zheng Shi'an was also ready for the promotion of scissors. In a hundred exquisite gift boxes, there are scissors carefully crafted by the Giant Sledgehammer. On the gift box, there is also a weeping willow pattern carved by a famous craftsman, and a poem written on the side of Yanqing's February spring breeze like scissors.
Inside the brocade box, there are the words Xiongji scissors, and a sledgehammer logo.
As Zheng Yanqing said, everything must be kept improving. You can do without the scissors inside, but you can't do without keeping this box.
Subsequently, Zheng Shi'an invested 50 yuan in accordance with Yanqing's instructions, and set up a storefront in the downtown of Luoyang with the veterans of the Tianjin Bridge neighborhood such as Xiongdazhuan, and placed new scissors in it. The store is not big, but there are many people who enter.
However, there are not many people who are willing to pay......
After all, it's a nascent style. It takes a process to get people to get rid of the original scissors.
Yan Qing even told Zheng Shi'an that he was ready not to open for half a year. However, on the side of the sledgehammer, it can't stop building and maintain an appropriate amount of production to make inventory. Zheng Yanqing did not come from an economic background, so it was impossible to come up with too many useful methods. But he was right, the store opened for ten days, and only two pairs of ordinary scissors were sold.
Zheng Sai On is a little anxious!
After he sent out the hundred refined scissors through his connections, he was never heard from again.
And the store has almost no business, and he has to take care of the life of Xiongda's family, as well as the daily production costs.
In just one month, he has invested more than 900 times.
The money was really spent like running water, and seeing that the money in his hand was getting less and less, Zheng Shi'an became more and more anxious.
Zheng Renji also sent people to pay attention to this matter, and when he heard that Zheng Shi'an and Xiong Da Hammer had partnered to sell scissors, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"That old man is really crazy, just a dragon knife, how much money can he earn?"
Mrs. Cui also sneered.
Previously, she wanted to frame Zheng Shi'an's grandfather, but she didn't want to get into Cui Daolin's father and son. Even with Zheng Renji's ancestral jade belt, there has been no news so far. For this reason, she was also scolded by the Cui family, and she felt very uncomfortable.
Seeing that Zheng Shi'an was going to lose all her money, Mrs. Cui finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Master, Zheng Shi'an is not easy, if it goes on like this, I'm afraid it won't last long.
We can't watch the excitement from the sidelines, can we help, let's help...... Otherwise, the concubine asked people to buy a few handfuls back? ”
When Zheng Renji heard this, he nodded again and again.
Unexpectedly, after Zheng Hongyi next to him heard it, he went back to discuss with Xu Shiji, preparing the two of them to make up fifty yuan and ask someone to buy it in secret. Anyway, Zheng Shi'an is also Yanqing's grandfather, if Zheng Shi'an goes bankrupt, I'm afraid that Yanqing's son will not be happy. It may not help much, but it's better than sitting on the sidelines.
Zheng Shi'an sat in the store, and he was also anxious......
If this is not opened again, it will not take a month, and I am afraid it will not be able to hold on.
He sat on the counter and crackled and calculated, and in the past month, he had almost spent all his thousands.
No, I won't be able to hold it if it goes on like this.
Although his grandparents and grandchildren don't need to worry about life, these scissors are like a bottomless pit, and every day just for the sledgehammer, he has to pay the usual money to go out. Now that I have a total of my own hands, there are only dozens of runs left, and I can't hold on any longer!
Now the people in Luoyang City know that there is such a fool as him and has opened a fool's shop.
"Brother Zheng!"
Zheng Shi'an was just about to be on fire when he suddenly heard someone calling his name.
When I looked up, I saw a person walking in from the outside. The appearance of the birth is dignified, but the cheekbones are slightly higher, the complexion is slightly whiter, and it seems to have Hu blood.
"Butler Yuan!"
As soon as Zheng Shi'an saw someone coming, he hurriedly walked out of the counter to greet him.
This person is the housekeeper of Luoyang Yuanfu, named Yuan Lingrong. Luoyang Yuanfu is a royal family of the Northern Wei Dynasty. The Northern Wei Dynasty took Tuoba as his surname, and later changed his surname to Yuan. Luoyang Yuanfu is the mansion of Taifu Shaoqing Yuanwendu, and this Yuanwendu is the father of the former Princess Yuan. Prince Yin hated Queen Dugu because of the matter of the crown princess and was removed from the position of prince. However, Yang Jian and Queen Dugu have always maintained a little apology for the Yuanwendu family.
Yuan Lingrong came in with a smile and greeted Zheng Shi'an.
The two sat down in the hall, and Zheng Shi'an asked cautiously, "Young brother, why do you have time to come to my small shop today?" ”
"Hehe, dude, you're really a good means."
Zheng Shi'an couldn't help but be stunned, "Young brother, how can you say this?" ”
"You gave me the brocade box a month ago, why didn't you tell me that the poems on it were written by Ling Sun?"
"Ah, this ......"
Zheng Shi'an did send a pair of scissors to Yuan Lingrong, but Yuan Lingrong didn't look at it at the time, let alone the following.
"That's just a temporary joke by Xiao Sun, so it's worth mentioning?"
"Well, that's a bad word, dude. Let Sun Nai be a strange boy in the world, and the poems and texts he wrote are worth ten thousand gold.
And your scissors are really good. Not only is it beautifully made, but it also saves a lot of effort to use. I came today on the orders of my lord to buy scissors. Thirty handfuls of the upper grade, one hundred handfuls of the middle grade, and three hundred handfuls of the lower grade. ”
Xiongji scissors, divided into upper, middle and lower three grades.
The top grade is 20 yuan, the middle grade is 100 yuan, and the lower grade is 50 yuan.
The so-called top grade, naturally is a strong hammer carefully built, not only the workmanship and materials are exquisite, the key is with the packaging.
The middle grade is created by other people in Tianjin Bridge, and the selection of materials and workmanship naturally cannot be compared with the top grade. As for the lower grades, they are all made of high-grade waste materials, and the value is not high. Ordinary people, most of them will choose the lower grade, and the wealthy will choose the quality of the upper and middle grades.
It seems that a big family like Yuanwendu would not have used so many scissors.
But by chance, someone bought a pair of low-grade scissors and actually used them in the kitchen. This is a lot more convenient...... In addition, Yuan Wen happened to see the poems on the high-grade packaging, and immediately realized the value.
Nowadays, among the nobles of Chang'an, it is popular to sing goose body.
This thing is not badly made, and it also has the poetry and handwriting of the goose boy, and it is not a loss of face to take it out as a gift.
Zheng Shi'an was taken aback.
Only these thirty top-grade products are enough to recoup the cost of the early days!
"Steward Yuan, don't be joking."
Yuan Lingrong's eyes widened, "What a joke can I talk about." Hurry up and stock up, I've already brought the money here, so hurry up and count it. ”
More than 600 times......
Zheng Shi'an immediately smiled, called the guys in the store, and put away the scissors.
Before Yuan Lingrong left, someone came to the door to buy high-grade scissors.
Zheng Sai On also has 60 high-grade scissors in stock. It's not that he doesn't have more inventory, it's that he doesn't have that much packaging in his hands.
Even so, the visitor still bought the remaining thirty in one go.
In just a few moments, Zheng Shi'an recovered more than a thousand pieces.
"Make me a brocade box now!"
Zheng Shi'an sent the guests away with his front foot, and immediately shouted loudly with his back foot, "Hit a hundred brocade boxes...... No, two hundred, look at how much money we have in our hands, all into brocade boxes. ”
For a while, the Xiongji scissors shop, which had been depressed for more than a month, suddenly became busy.
"Grandpa, after these two hundred high-grade scissors are sold, don't do them for the time being."
That night, Zheng Yanqing heard Zheng Shi'an mention this matter, and after thinking about it, he immediately gave a suggestion.
"Why?"
Zheng Shi'an was a little puzzled, "These high-grade scissors are selling the best now." And it's profitable, so why don't you do it anymore? ”
"Grandpa, it's too much."
Zheng Yanqing crossed his fingers and calculated: "Think about it, what are those people buying scissors?" It is a poem inscribed by a grandson. Most of these things are given as gifts, who do you think those big men will use specifically?
It's just a gimmick, it's okay to use it, and it's worthless after a long time.
Therefore, our focus should be on promoting mid-grade and low-grade scissors, which is the most profitable. As for high-grade scissors, they can only be used as signboards. If someone comes to buy it in the future, tell them that there are five at a time, and if there are more, they will not sell it...... Moreover, after this batch is sold, grandpa, you will let people secretly build another batch. Build as many as you have. I estimate that when the 200 scissors on hand are sold out, it will be stable for a while. When all parts of Chang'an began to pay attention, you tried to find a way to publicize it to the outside world, and the manuscript was lost...... Take advantage of the trend and double the price of high-grade scissors. ”
The most valuable thing about this brocade box is the inscription on the lid of the box.
The manuscript is in the hands of Zheng Shi'an, and it will be taken out and rubbed when it is made. If you lose the manuscript, you will never be able to make the same brocade box again. Yanqing knows that the sales volume of this high-grade scissors will not be too large, and the key is to use this method to carry out primitive accumulation. The so-called masterpiece is the most precious, and when the time comes, you can earn a lot of money.
Zheng Shi'an was still a little suspicious of Yan Qingna, so he didn't say a word, and nodded in response.
It's just a big deal to bear an infamy, is he Zheng Shi'an still afraid of this? Real money is the most affordable.
Unconsciously, after experiencing a bankruptcy crisis, Zheng Shi'an began to pay attention to yellow and white things.
This has its own calculations in my heart, and my sense of belonging to the Zheng family has undoubtedly quietly diluted a little. Zheng Yanqing could feel the change in Zheng Sai'an's heart. At least in this crisis, Zheng Shi'an did not mention half of the word 'Zheng'.
