Chapter 54: Why not sell now

The days passed in a flash, Tang Lin was completely adapted to the life of an apprentice, although it did not involve the core of the Fang family's silk weaving, the cattle shopkeeper would also teach them some ways to operate, which shows that the Fang family is still quite generous.

As soon as the shop was finished that day, the cattle shopkeeper beckoned everyone to go to the warehouse, where several horse-drawn carriages were parked and workers were unloading fabrics.

Tang Lin looked at it for a while, and said suspiciously: "Cattle shopkeeper, isn't this last year's material?" ”

"How do you tell?" The shopkeeper was a little surprised, although Tang Lin learned quickly and always had a sweet smile, but after all, he was a woman, and he was not most optimistic about Tang Lin, calling a few apprentices over today was also to let them accumulate more experience, but he didn't want Tang Lin to see that these materials were from last year.

Tang Lin said: "The booklet you gave me before recorded the names and patterns of the fabrics that have been sold in Fengxiangjing in the past three years, and the autumn colors that are being unloaded now and the Qionghua just now are all materials from last year, and they are also materials that are only used in autumn or even late autumn, why are they being shipped now, or last year?" ”

There are goods that can't be sold this year and then sold the next year, and even some classic patterns have been sold and sales are also very good, but now that the weather is getting warmer, these materials are obviously not suitable, not to mention the old models.

The shopkeeper Niu was impressed with Tang Lin this time, but the seemingly simple question was thoughtful, so he patiently replied: "This is a backlog in other stores, but it is just temporarily placed here, and it will be shipped away in a few days." ”

Tang Lin pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Shopkeeper, is this shipment going to be sold after it leaves?" ”

"Yes, although our silk sales are good, there is a backlog every year for various reasons, and it is generally sold to cloth merchants on the way back to earn back the cost."

"If you want to sell it, why don't you sell it in Beijing?"

The shopkeeper said with a smile: "It's not nothing, but there are new goods in season, even if they look old, the ones supplied in Beijing are generally the finished products of the year." ”

"So, why not sell it now?" Tang Lin blurted out.

"Tang Lin, aren't you joking, the weather will get hotter and hotter in the future, who will buy the fabric that will only be used in this autumn." Before the cow shopkeeper could speak, one of the apprentices laughed.

The shopkeeper nodded: "That's the truth, what goods are sold in what season, it has been like this since ancient times, and no one buys things that are out of place." ”

"And what if the price is reduced?" Tang Lin continued, "Although seasonal things are good, especially new products, the price is often more expensive, if these fabrics are sold now, the price is given a certain discount, with the reputation and quality of the Fang family, I think it should not be a problem to sell." ”

"That's a good point!"

The shopkeeper Niu was still confused, and when he looked up, he saw Mrs. Fang walking in, and there was still young master Fang Shubing standing beside him, and he immediately stepped forward and saluted: "Madam, young master, why are you here?" ”

"After a casual walk, I didn't expect to hear such an interesting method. What is your name? Mrs. Fang waved her hand casually and looked at Tang Lin with a kind gaze.

Tang Lin only felt that his heart was beating faster, he was a little brother! Although Fang Shubing's identity has not yet been finally confirmed, in Tang Lin's heart, he has almost decided that he is the little brother back then.

Suppressing his desire to glance at Fang Shubing, Tang Lin replied respectfully but crisply: "If Mrs. Hui speaks, my name is Tang Lin." ”

Tang Lin...... That's a good name. Mrs. Fang glanced at Fang Shubing, saw that he also seemed to look at Tang Lin with some interest, and asked, "Then tell me, why do you want to sell autumn ingredients now?" ”
