Chapter 295: Never Lose Your Money
When Jia's mother went back, Wang asked about the origin of these things. Xing Shuang did not say anything about his son's trip to England, only that it was sent by a Western businessman that his son knew in Gusu.
Wang couldn't help but think of the umbrella that the three of them talked about when they came to the New Year's Zhongxiu, so he asked her: "Does he have that umbrella?" ”
Xing Shuang said with a smile: "Some of the goods he brought have been sent in, and there is no fear here." ”
Wang said again: "When will he go back?" ”
Xing Shuang covered her mouth and pouted: "What's the matter, he didn't bring an umbrella, so you want to drive people back?" ”
Wang slapped Xing Shuang's arm, and said angrily: "Sister-in-law is also good at making trouble, knowing that I don't mean this, and she still has to arrange me." ”
Xing Shuang hurriedly stopped laughing and coaxed her: "Okay, good, don't bother you." He only arrived a year ago, and now he doesn't have a shop, so it's too early to come and go back. ”
Wang thought for a while, and said to Xing Shuang seriously: "I have a good deal to tell my sister-in-law, sister-in-law don't be embarrassed." ”
Xing Shuang smiled and asked her, "What kind of business?" ”
Wang played with the mirror on the table and said slowly to Xing Shuang: "This Western thing, a foreign product, but once you turn a hand, the price will be very different." It is a price from Guangzhou to Beijing, and another price from Jiaozhou to Beijing. Since that brother is young and Lian'er's friend, why not help him and tell him to sell his goods earlier so that he can go home to reunite with his family? ”
Xing Shuang immediately understood, covered her mouth and smiled: "Can't a family like ours do business, have you forgotten?" ”
Wang Shi hurriedly smiled: "Where is the business?" I don't understand what my sister-in-law said, but it's just to help Lian'er's friend and borrow the shop for him to use. ”
Xing Shuang thought about it, shook her head and said, "It's not appropriate, although you can say so to the outside world." But he came to China across the ocean to revitalize his family business. If we stop him, he will earn less than others. This trip back and forth, I'm afraid I will lose money. ”
Wang said again: "Knowing that my sister-in-law is kind-hearted, and I don't let my sister-in-law press it low, I only give it to him at the price of the second course on the market, and he earns more than others." Otherwise, if you sell it to others, don't you have to turn around a few more times to sell it? ”
Xing Shuang thought about it, and then she was moved.
This imported product has always been very valuable, not because of the real high cost, but because it has turned several hands, and even the life is in danger when it is imported. Those Western merchants, the selling price is not necessarily sky-high, but the trading house that has changed hands a few times, and the selling price is really scary.
There are still a few of his dowry shops in the capital, and they are said to be lent to Western merchants, and then Benjamin can sign an agreement.
He just didn't know what he was doing, and Benjamin wouldn't agree. He is too young, and if he were to come with an older one, he would have understood that he would be more efficient and safer than he would have to risk losing money.
Seeing that Xing Shuang bowed his head and was silent, Wang said again: "Sister-in-law, it's better to call the Western businessman to come in and ask him what he means, and then in the name of cooperation between the two families, we can help him purchase the goods he brought back, and save him another sum." Such a good deal, he is afraid that he will not refuse. ”
Xing Shuang raised her head and laughed at her: "You really don't have any benefits and refuse to come up with ideas, I've been in charge for so long, and you are pretending to be confused for me." It's convenient for you to get those Western things, and you're smart again? There are so many ghost ideas, how can they usually hide them. ”
Wang smiled and said, "With my sister-in-law in front of you, what do you think of me?" Sister-in-law, this business is a sure deal, you have to think about it. ”
Xing Shuang sighed and said, "I think too, but the master is still on an errand in the Ministry of Rites, if I deal with Westerners......"
Wang persuaded again: "Isn't that just right? If you change others, you are suspected of bullying others, but your sister-in-law can speak foreign, your uncle can also speak foreign, and it is normal for foreigners to trust you. And the sister-in-law is borrowing the shop to foreigners, and she doesn't charge any rent, such a kind deed, it would be strange if she changed to others, but it is not strange that the sister-in-law did it.
"Sister-in-law is afraid that she doesn't know, but everyone outside says that her sister-in-law is soft-natured, easy to talk, and kind-hearted, and she can't see people suffering the most. Yun'er lives in our house and is raised by her sister-in-law, and it is rumored that her sister-in-law is a living bodhisattva. ”
Xing Shuang was really moved now, Wang's words, others might not understand, but she understood it from the moment Wang opened her mouth.
It was nothing more than asking her to buy all Benjamin's goods and sell them in her dowry shop. But to the outside world, it is only Benjamin's goods, not her own.
Benjamin can empty the goods at once, and there is one less risk, and at the same time, he can find a relationship to help him buy the goods in his own country at a low price, and he can reduce Benjamin's costs.
It seems that he has taken advantage of Benjamin, but in fact, it has shortened Benjamin's sales time in China, and others can only go back and forth once a year, but he can go back and forth twice a year, and he will never lose money.
On their own side, they can buy Western goods at a low price and make a lot of money from them, not to mention, these Western goods can also grasp the channels of purchase and the variety and quantity of goods.
The more Xing Shuang thought about it, the more excited she became, so she simply asked Jia Yun to bring Benjamin in the next day and talk about it.
Benjamin listened to Xing Shuang's explanation, and immediately stood up and saluted and thanked him: "Thank you, Madame, for giving me such a good opportunity." ”
Xing Shuang saw that he understood the truth of this, but he also saved his tongue, and he was also relieved.
Benjamin said, "But Madame is too polite, and it would be too embarrassing to bother Madame to go to great lengths to find the goods I brought back." ”
Xing Shuang just wanted to say that he was his son's friend, and it was nothing to help him, so he heard Benjamin continue: "It's better for Mrs. to add a profit to me according to the original price." And it's the same on my side, the original goods were sold to the lady at a price of only one cent. As for how much Madame sells, it has nothing to do with me, and I will not tell Madame how much I brought back what I sold. ”
Xing Shuang was still thinking about whether Benjamin would lose money in this way, so he heard Benjamin say again: "But this round-trip fare, and I am the one who bears the risk, so every time I go back and forth, I still need my wife to bear a little travel and labor costs." ”
Xing Shuang hurriedly said: "This is natural, and now in this form, it seems to be a cooperation between the two companies." So you can't take this risk in vain. ”
Benjamin smiled and raised a finger and said, "Then every time I go back and forth, Madame only needs to give me a cent of the goods you sell." ”
Xing Shuang was stunned and couldn't help but marvel, such a sixteen-year-old boy was so good at doing business, no wonder his father dared to let him out to run a business on his own.
