Chapter Ninety-One: Selling Matches to Find Customers
At this time, Chang'an City has not yet become a metropolis of millions of people, and it is not big or small.
Even the circulation of information is not widespread, and many things are only circulated among a small range of people.
But a piece of news can often make people talk for a long time.
The tooth people who do business are one of the most well-informed people. The officials of the government are not as well-known as them.
I often go in and out of the homes of rich and noble, chatting and gossiping with the ladies and women of rich families, and they also get some news.
Sometimes the rich and noble people want to inquire about the character and ethics of the little lady of a certain family, and they will stuff some gold and silver into the hands of these tooth people in exchange for information.
In particular, Zheng Po, who sells gouache of high-end jewelry, is one of the connoisseurs.
Even if the Niu family doesn't often buy some luxury goods, she often comes to visit, others don't know, the Niu family doesn't buy luxury goods, but often buys some news.
Although you can only get a small amount of money by selling some news, for ordinary people, small money is also a lot of money.
Zheng Po has gained a lot today, but she didn't have enough money on her to satisfy Fan Jingjing, and with such a large amount of money, she could only negotiate the intention first, and then see how to send the money, gold, silver or cloth.
The value of gold and silver has always been recognized among the rich and noble, otherwise they would have had trouble buying and selling a bunch of copper coins.
Fan Jingjing asked for copper coins, but Zheng Po didn't have a hundred copper coins, so she had to make an appointment and change the date and place to trade.
Fan Jingjing couldn't take so many copper coins alone.
Fortunately, Zheng Po's path is wide enough, and it is not too much of a problem to exchange some copper coins.
She knew that the stone earrings would bring her more profits.
Rich people are not only men, there is a widowed lady, rich and rivaled, will definitely appreciate diamond earrings, and a few may want to use stone earrings when they knock on the gift of higher nobles.
Like the Niu family, they don't buy luxury goods, but they collect luxury goods.
In many cases, Xungui only takes items and does not pay for them, but only gives some benefits.
"By the way, you're going to buy jewelry, right?"
"Naturally, I can't always wear such expensive jewelry by myself, I don't have such a net worth yet."
"Introduce you to a good thing, in the future our workshop will produce a handicraft, which will be of great help to you to sell jewelry."
After Fan Jingjing finished speaking, she didn't wait for Zheng Po's answer, so she took out a match and polished it next to the powder.
Some people say that the fire of the safety match is the most beautiful and warm fire, when the fire is reflected on the pink diamond, the transparent and flawless diamond shines magnificently under the firelight, and Zheng Po's face immediately becomes intoxicated.
People who don't love jewelry can't do a good job in jewelry business, and Zheng Po is naturally also a person who loves jewelry very much.
Diamonds pay attention to fire, and the diamonds owned by Fan Jingjing are naturally not stalls, and under the light, pink diamonds are ten times more beautiful than before.
If Fan Jingjing took out the matches in advance, she could probably get ten times the price.
Zheng Po took back the greedy wooden light, used silk cloth to put the powder earrings and buns, and took back the burden.
"You still use baggage, in fact, you should customize the cow's cart to facilitate the display of your jewelry and facilitate movement."
"You're not just selling stone earrings, are you?"
"Naturally, my purpose is to sell matches, and by the way, to sell the new products of the Niu family, the push-pull cart, I call it a suitcase. When the time comes, I will take the highest suitcase and go to the agreed place to carry the copper coins. ”
If it was all copper coins, Fan Jingjing's suitcase would not be able to fit, but in addition to copper coins, Fan Jingjing also exchanged some gold and silver, and she estimated that she could barely put all the money into her suitcase.
"How much do your matches cost?"
"It's not expensive, five dollars a penny."
