Chapter 193: Buy up, don't buy down
Xia Zitang, who was sitting at the end, got up when he heard this, and after saluting, he said, "Grandmother is right, how is this good?" Otherwise, the grandson will take the glass back first, and when the weather cools down, the grandson will bring it to the grandmother. ”
Xia Chen saw that Xia Zitang was really going out, and shouted angrily, "Nonsense! Still not standing still? ”
Scholar Xia is also pale, the old woman speaks badly, but how can the younger generation be so concerned with his grandmother?
Xia Zixi went over and pulled Xia Zitang back, and while walking back, he whispered, "It seems that you have been with your comrades for too long, and your head is tendoned." Grandmother just casually said, how can you take it seriously? ”
Old Madam Lu looked up angrily, her Xia family was not short of a few hundred taels of silver, and she sent a steward and servant to Qingyunzhai, and she could buy things the same......
Then I thought that even if I bought it, I had to go to the shop in the second room Xia Yanqing, and for a while, my mood was even more uncomfortable.
When Xia Ke's father and son returned to Xia's house, the housekeeper was taking a few domestic servants to replace the windows with the help of Qiao Chensheng.
Mrs. Jiang stood in the shade of the main courtyard, smiling and watching.
It is said that the glass industry has long been able to be used by itself. It's just that it involves the palace and the old mansion, so it has been delayed until now.
Just look at the bright glass window and think that such a miraculous object came from the hands of her daughter, and the benefits of glass and the benefits it brings are secondary.
When Mrs. Jiang saw Xia Ke and the three of them coming back, she greeted her and asked, "The things were sent, but what did you say?" ”
Xia Ke replied lightly, "Well, I accepted it, I didn't say anything." ”
After many years of husband and wife, Mrs. Jiang saw Xia Ke's expression and knew that this trip was no different from the past, and her mother-in-law would not give any good words.
She pointed to the chair and table in the shade of the trees, and said, "Sit down for a while, and then go inside and sit down when the windows are changed." ”
…………
Xia Yanqing was not at home, nor did she go to the glass workshop, she and her two sisters-in-law took their nephews and nieces to choose a tea room on the second floor of the teahouse opposite Qingyunzhai to drink tea and eat snacks.
As mentioned earlier, it is summer now, and Qingyunzhai's glass business looks tepid, not as hot as when SF Bao Cargo Bank launched glass two months ago.
Because the glass operated by SF Bao Cargo Store and the other two companies was stealing from the sister-in-law, Gao's had seen the business of the three from afar.
At this time, seeing that their business was tepid, they had been sitting here for nearly an hour, so the two customers went in with their subordinates and each moved a few pieces of glass out.
Gao was a little anxious and asked, "At the beginning, when SF Bao Goods Store and the other two sold glass, it was really a market, whether they bought glass or not, people passing by had to go in and have a look." Yanqing, our glass business is a bit deserted. ”
Xia Xi is still young and doesn't understand this, at this time he is holding the windowsill, holding a piece of dried apricots in his hand and biting slowly, looking at the street scene outside the window with a pair of big eyes, feeling that everything is fresh.
From time to time, she would point to interesting things outside the window and ask the Yang family who was taking care of her.
Xia Han could already understand Gao's words, and when he heard the anxiety in Gao's tone, he also looked at Xia Yanqing.
Xia Yanqing was tasting the red bean soup in the teahouse, and praised the signature sweet soup in the ancient teahouse that was really extraordinary, fragrant and sweet, and tasted excellent.
Hearing Gao's question, the probe glanced out the window and said, "Is the business bad?" No, it won't. Our workshop came out with a furnace of glass yesterday and today, and it was sold for three days at this rate, and another furnace came out, just to connect the supply. ”
However, the size of the glaze workshop nearly doubled, bought domestic slaves, and recruited many workers. According to the current rate of glass sales, there will be more glass produced by the workshop in the future, will there be a backlog? ”
Although this is an exclusive transaction, Gao is not afraid that the glass will not be sold, but the current sales situation is too big a gap with the robbery she thought would appear, and she really doesn't understand.
The Yang family, who was taking care of Xia Xi, saw that the Gao family was anxious, and said with a smile, "I heard your second brother say that the glass is not selling well, mainly because of the weather. There is also the fact that glass has not been around for a long time, but the situation is frequent, and many people are now waiting and seeing, and it will get better after a while. ”
Yang admires his sister-in-law's ability, and less than a year after returning home, the sister-in-law has greatly improved the family's food, clothing, housing and transportation.
She will help her mother-in-law take care of the affairs of the house every day, although she prepared a dowry for her sister-in-law before, and later proposed to make peace and leave, and raised money to buy land and shops, which made the family very tight for a while.
However, since the opening of Qingyun Zhai, the situation at home has been alleviated, especially the sale of that batch of glazed gems, and the silver recorded in the account is even more eye-popping.
The head of the second room of the Xia family went out of the house as a concubine, and he had no family background, and the tens of thousands of taels of silver that the sister-in-law took out to subsidize the family suddenly made the family's savings reach an unprecedented level.
They all have to accept the sister-in-law's affection, and they also have to admire the sister-in-law's ability.
Xia Yanqing listened to Yang's explanation and said with a smile, "Second brother can see it very clearly. Nowadays, the weather is getting hotter and the sun is shining, so there is no need for extra light in the room. There is a layer of hemp paper on the window to cover it, which is not only breathable, but also cooler in the room.
In addition, the repeated comeback of glass during this period of time has worn out most of people's novelty, and then there is the psychology of people buying up and not buying down, which is naturally not as hot as selling in winter. ”
Gao listened to it freshly and asked, "Why do you buy up and not buy down?" Wouldn't it be best to be able to buy something at a lower price? ”
If you don't buy down, it may sound wrong, but that's exactly what it is.
Xia Yanqing explained, "If something rises again and again, people will have a sense of urgency, feeling that this thing has to be bought quickly, and if they don't need it, they will start first." Otherwise, when needed, the price may not rise.
On the contrary, if you are planning to buy something and the price is reduced three times or twice, even if you need it, you will wait and see, for fear that the price of the purchased thing will drop again as soon as you buy it, and you will suffer a loss. Our glass is the same, wait for the price of twenty taels to be maintained, and wait until the autumn, that is the peak season for glass sales, I am afraid that the scale has expanded, and it is not enough to sell. ”
Gao nodded again and again, "Listening to what you say, it's really like this." Then the price of our glass ......"
Speaking of this, she laughed first.
This matter has been discussed by the family for a long time.
It roughly means that the production cost of glass is not very high, the technology has matured, and the price of twenty taels has a high profit.
Since it can be profitable, there is no need to limit the glass business to a small range, which not only limits the use of glass, but also limits the scale of one's own business.
If someone really masters the glass technology halfway, takes the opportunity to expand the business on a large scale and operates at a low price, then their glass will completely lose the opportunity, and then want to expand, it will be really late.
