[23] Business is booming

Yao Fan nodded with satisfaction, the third sister's injury had improved, and he was somewhat comforted in his heart.

"Owner, you just left that day, the next day the shopkeeper He came, you left without saying hello to him, the shopkeeper He was a little unhappy, and asked me anxiously, why didn't you tell him. I told him, the proprietor, you ordered me to visit Zhou, Huang, Lan, and Yang on your behalf, and the shopkeeper He was not happy at that time. ”

Yao Fan said: "I was in a hurry before, and I forgot to tell him, this is not a big deal, isn't it just a temporary departure for ten years." ”

Luo Guanqun nodded in agreement with Yao Fan, and continued: "But the shopkeeper He still listened to your words from the owner, and took me to the four houses of Zhou, Huang, Lan, and Yang to visit. ”

Yao Fan had already rested in the center of the store at this time, on a brand-new Taishi chair. He took the tea bowl handed over by Wang Chuannian and took a sip, and when he heard this, he asked, "What do the four families say?" Friendly to us? ”

Luo Guanqun said: "I see that the four families are very happy, and everyone in the family praises the owner for being too polite." He said that he would wait for you to come back another day, and he would definitely come to visit you. Look, don't we give such a big gift after all? Now it's a small fame, and you don't need so many generous gifts! ”

Yao Fan smiled and said: "Anyone who sees such a generous gift must give a little face." ”

Luo Guanqun said with a smile: "The owner sees it. Back to the owner, the shopkeeper He has already opened the store, just on Quanye Street, where it was originally a carriage and horse inn, the shopkeeper He has put it down, and now he didn't even have time to clean up the house he entered, and it opened in a hurry yesterday. ”

After listening to it, Yao Fan knew that there was nothing important, and asked, "These days, how does the Guo family react?" ”

"If you go back to the owner, the Guo family doesn't seem to have any movement."

"Well, you go down."

After Luo Guanqun left, Yao Fan just wanted to close his eyes and rest, and the third sister, who was standing and waiting outside the living room door before, entered the house.

"Third sister, you're here." Yao Fan saw that it was Third Sister Su, so he greeted him with a smile.

"Third sister to Brother Yao, please say goodbye." After the third sister finished speaking, she knelt down.

Yao Fan hurriedly stepped forward to help her up, and said angrily: "Don't be so polite, I don't like it." ”

The third sister got up and said, "Brother Yao thinks this living room is well furnished?" ”

Yao Fan looked at the living room, and now in addition to the Taishi chair he was sitting on, there were also more bookshelves, and said with a smile, "It's good, it's good, this Taishi chair is newly bought, right?" It's very comfortable to sit on. ”

The third sister saw Yao Fan's praise and said with a smile: "Big brother, this house is new, and the things are all sent by the shopkeeper He, it looks a little simple, I think that the eldest brother is so noble, he must not be able to sit comfortably, so I asked He Shicheng to go to the wood shop to buy a good Taishi chair." ”

Yao Fan smiled: "Very good, this mat is also comfortable." ”

The third sister said happily: "I'm clumsy, I can't do well, as long as the eldest brother feels comfortable." These days, I have a new single cloth robe for my eldest brother, and you can try it later to see if it fits, and there is a purse here. ”

So the two gossiped, and Yao Fan saw that the third sister's physical condition was really good, so he didn't take out the anti-inflammatory drugs he brought with him this time for the third sister to take.

It didn't take long for He Wannian to arrive.

"Brother Zaofan! You don't say a word no matter how you go, this ten years down, but I'm in a hurry to die. ”

When the third sister saw that He Wan was coming, she got up and took a blessing.

He Wannian hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be." ”

The third sister knew that he respected himself for Yao Fan's sake, and Bacheng also misunderstood his relationship with Yao Fan, so she had to retreat with a red face.

Yao Fan didn't bother to get up, so he only said: "Brother Wannian, don't be polite, don't be so troublesome in your own family, you can sit down." ”

He Wannian sat down next to Yao Fan and said, "Brother Yao, the front of our main store has been opened, and the business is excellent. Before you left, I said that the shopkeeper Wu of the Yisheng Foreign Company had ordered a thousand foreign watches and invited you to dinner, but you left without telling him, so that my brother had to go to the shopkeeper Wu to make amends the next day. ”

Yao Fan saw that He Wannian was wearing a brand-new light blue robe of single cloth, and the fabric was the color of the goods he brought, a bit like the color of the curtains in the 2o11 school, and said with a smile: "He doesn't buy these watches from me, and he can't buy them elsewhere." The same is true for my other products, which are the only ones on the market.

Besides, he is such a shrewd person, he is not even willing to rely on the bank, how troublesome is it for Baba to transport those silver back to Shanghai for a long distance? Swap it out for a watch and ship it back, which can not only make extra money, but also save a lot of freight. So I'm not worried about him being upset. Besides, it's the same with you going, this face has been given to him. Hehe, how much face is a foreign opium dealer worth? ”

Yao Fan sat on the Taishi chair, pointing at the country, gesturing with his hands as he spoke, obviously seeing it very thoroughly.

He Wannian smiled bitterly: "It turns out that Brother Zaofan doesn't look down on their livelihood, you should have told me from the beginning." ”

Yao Fan shook his head: "It's not that I didn't go to the banquet because I looked down on him, it's just that I did have a scheduled itinerary and didn't want to delay." ”

He Wannian changed the subject, so he said in a tricky way: "Brother Zaofan, do you want to know how the goods of our firm have been sold in the past ten days?" ”

Yao Fan smiled: "Anyway, it won't be a good bicycle to sell, right?" It's all in the box, and I guess you don't even know how to assemble it. ”

He Wannian rubbed his hands and said, "Brother Yao said that I laughed, I really don't know how to load that bicycle, so I have to put that thing in the warehouse first." Except for bicycles, everything we sell is easy to sell.

At present, I want to say that the best thing to sell, is chintz, the 45o spindle cotton cloth, I asked someone to divide more than 12oo horses according to the specifications of 4o yards of foreign cloth, first hanging 11 taels of one horse, a penny of silver and a foot. I thought that if it was not easy to sell in the future, the price would be easy to sell if it came down, but if it was the other way around, it would be difficult to sell if it went up again, so the price would be higher at the beginning. ”

He Wannian took the tea brought in by Wang Chuannian and put it on the table, and continued: "Now the best Lu silk is two coins and one foot of silver, and the weaving pattern is also joyful, and the cotton cloth dyed by the Suzhou Rongji Dyeing Workshop is only four taels of silver for one horse. So I started with the intention of getting the cotton cloth cheaper.

Brother Yao, what are you doing? I never thought about it, but the shopkeeper Wu couldn't like it after seeing these cotton cloths, and praised the delicate and supple fabrics, probably never seen this kind of color, so he took water to wash it on the spot.

This wash was shocking, Brother Yao's cloth did not fade, whether it was a flower cloth or a colored cloth, it did not fade, and after washing it more than ten or twenty times, the water was still clear! ”

Yao Fan said strangely: "Aren't you talking nonsense?" If it fades, then it's not a shoddy product, how can I smash my own signboard. ”

He Wannian waved his hand again and again: "Brother Yao has been in Taixi for a long time, naturally I don't know, the color cloth of my Great Qing Kingdom, but all the dark colors can be washed off, except for green, black and other dyed stable colors, the rest of the colors are not allowed to wash, wash once light, even blue and black or other light colors, and can't help washing more than ten or twenty times!" ”

Yao Fan became happy: "Oh? I see! ”

He Wannian saw that Yao Fan was proud, and his spirit was even stronger, and he also smiled: "That's right!" So after Boss Wu washed it down, he also shocked me on the spot. He asked for a counteroffer, and I didn't say yes at all. Just tell him that there are a total of 12oo horses of these cloths, if you don't take them now, someone will naturally take them, and then wait for the next time the Western ship comes, I don't know how many months. ”

Yao Fan smiled: "Brother He, you are so eloquent. ”

He Wannian was proud, "Then Boss Wu saw that the strange goods were liveable, and he gritted his teeth and was about to get down, 12oo horses were sold for 132oo taels, and the net profit in the business was 96oo taels." Coupled with the 110,000 taels earned by the previous 22o taels of 1,000 rolls, this has already earned 1196ooo taels! ”

Yao Fan didn't react for a while: "Rollus? Oh, Brother He, you all know how to pronounce the sign of that watch. ”

He Wannian's face turned red: "That's what Boss Wu only learned after reading it, Brother Yao, you left in a hurry before, but you didn't tell me." ”

Yao Fan scratched his head and said with a smile: "Well, then it's better to call it Rollus." This Boss Wu is a cultured local tyrant, did he buy fragrant soap? ”

He Wannian said: "That pancreas, no, fragrant soap is also easy to sell, but I offer two dollars a piece, I'm afraid it's more expensive, Boss Wu only needs two thousand, 4oo taels of silver, we earned 2oo taels." ”

He Wannian took a sip of tea and said: "Brother Yao, at the moment it is still the most profitable watch, this watch style is novel, and there is no such small and exquisite watch in any foreign company, in my opinion, as long as the boss who has seen the goods with his own eyes will like it." ”

Yao Fan knows that the real industrial mass production of watches will not wait until 19oo years later, and the reason for its birth, in terms of function, is because of the cumbersomeness of pocket watches; Technically, it is because of the progress of precision machining technology. As for soap, there is no industrial alkali in these years, not to mention soap with aromatic hydrocarbons, which is naturally easy to sell. As for colored cloth, since the chemical level of printing and dyeing is so poor in these years, I can run rampant in the market.

Yao Fan instructed: "No matter what, get rid of it as soon as possible and exchange it for silver before you can buy it again." Now that it's selling so well, I'm going to arrange for the purchase as soon as possible. ”

He Wannian said: "I have been busy in the past ten days, even this big deal, plus the scattered watches and soap sold to other businesses passing by Qingdaokou, now the business has enough cash, and the 300,000 taels of silver that I owed Brother Yao before, how much do you think it would be better to withdraw it first?" ”

Yao Fan said: "Just mention 100,000 taels first, and exchange it for gold in Hengli." ”

He Wannian looked at Yao Fan, lowered his head and thought about it again: "Brother Yao, you are exchanging gold in Hengli like this, but this coming and going is too wasteful, if you go to Tianjin and Shanghai to exchange gold, I estimate that about 15 taels of silver can be exchanged for one tael of gold." You hand it over to Hengli, and he won't be transported to Shanghai, Tianjin and other big cities to exchange for gold."

Yao Fan shook his head: "It's too troublesome to handle it yourself, with Hengli acting as an agent, the risk will be shared." ”

He Wannian saw that Yao Fan insisted on this, so he stopped being verbose, and changed the topic: "Right now, all the businesses that come and go to Qingdao know that we have strange goods in our hands, I see, our business is going to sell big next, Brother Yao can order more goods to prepare now, especially the cotton cloth, I think it is worth buying more." ”

Yao Fan said: "I left this time, I have already ordered goods overseas, Brother He, you go back and invite Lord Sun, Lord Wei, and Lord Liu to Shijia Restaurant for dinner, we do business, we must not leave the care of officialdom." ”

He Wannian hurriedly said, "I'll go now." ”
