Chapter 104: The Unlucky Man
"If you sell them one by one, you won't get a lot of money, so they will all have 20 yuan, but they have to buy them all at once. Vertex "
Mu Jiaren understands this, if the animal skin is not bad, it can be collected and processed, although it is summer soon, but it is not impossible to save it and buy it in winter.
At that time, you can also lower the price a little, so that you don't have to worry about sales.
It's just that this transaction requires spare money, otherwise it will be a problem to store and take care of the goods hoarded for two hundred taels.
"It's a pity that I don't have any money, if I have the money to buy skins, process them and sell them, I must make a lot of money." The man said from the side.
Mu Jiaren picked up the teacup and chuckled: "It's about to be summer, who are you selling it to?" ”
"Anyone can sell it, and you don't have to make clothes."
The man's words were conclusive, and Mu Jiaren glanced at him and stopped talking.
"I mean really, there must be good and bad parts of his skin, the good ones can be made into clothes, shoes, gloves and other items to keep out the cold, and the second ones can be made into headdresses, and can even be used as accessories on clothes, or gift boxes for valuables, they have a lot of space."
After the man finished speaking, Mu Jiaren felt a little surprised, his mind was not bad, and he had a lot of ideas.
After speaking, he got up and left the teahouse, and Mu Jiaren called Xiao Er to settle the bill, planning to go to the store to see how the goods were.
After going to the store, she found that the animal skins inside were indeed as the mustache and the thin and tall man said, there were more than a dozen high-grade animal skins, tiger skins, fox skins, and the rest of the furs were rabbits and sheepskins, some of which were of good color, smooth and lubricated, and delicate to the touch, and some of which were gray and white, and were inferior.
"All twenty cents?"
Mu Jiaren said.
"Yes, all twenty wen, this tiger skin and fox skin are a little more expensive, but all of them are two hundred taels of silver."
The seller hung up or placed all the good leathers, and the remaining defective products were piled up, and the amount in the room was estimated to be about seven or eight hundred, which was indeed a large number.
Twenty wen was also estimated by them, and the whole was almost two or two hundred.
"You rented this shop?"
"It's exchanged for skin, we are really penniless, and we can only use leather to pay for wages."
Looking at their simple appearance, Mu Jiaren didn't plan to bargain, money is such a thing, it is his own to spend it, buy something and put it in his hands, I feel that there is still hope of making money.
"Okay, I bought it."
As soon as she finished speaking, several people seemed to be in disbelief, and confirmed again: "This son, you mean to buy them all?" ”
"Hmm."
Mu Jiaren was about to take out the money, but suddenly a hand stopped her, and when she looked up, she saw that it was the man who was in the teahouse just now.
"Boss, I just looked at the skin behind you, some of them are too bad, and you haven't taken care of it all the way, many of them are not even worth twenty cents."
The seller looked behind him, they were also in this business, so they knew that things were good or bad.
"Although those are a bit inferior, these two tiger skins, along with the mink and fox skins, are very valuable."
"No matter how valuable you are, you sell it all, not a single piece." The man shook his head, very dissatisfied.
Mu Jiaren was puzzled, this person is so fond of interjecting!
"Okay, since the two of you want to buy it, and we will wait for the money to go back, then one hundred and eighty taels."
"I just inquired, you exchanged animal skins for a month's rent, it's only been seven or eight days, we can leave after we buy it, and the house money will not be refunded, but your food and accommodation are a lot less."
"This son, it's not easy for us, you can't make a bargain like this."
"That's it, I'm going to give one hundred and sixty taels, knowing that you are in trouble, I'll add another five taels, one hundred and sixty-five, what?"
A few people thought about it and thought it was okay, so they nodded: "Yes, but we want cash." ”
The man looked at Mu Jiaren: "Bring a silver ticket, let's go exchange money." ”
Mu Jiaren raised her eyebrows: "Didn't you buy it?" ”
The man was stunned for a moment, his face was a little embarrassed, and he grabbed her and walked aside: "I'm helping you bargain, don't you want to buy it?" ”
Mu Jiaren endured the feeling of wanting to laugh, and continued to pretend to be puzzled and said, "No, I see that you want to buy it so much, so I'll give it to you." ”
"I ......," the man lowered his voice, "I don't have any money." ”
"Then what you said is the same as the truth, and besides, you and I have never known each other, so why are you so enthusiastic about helping me pay off? Or are you colluding with them and trying to get my money? ”
"No, no, no." The man explained anxiously, "I also want to do a job, I want to come over to see who buys it, I will help transport the goods or help sell them, not to calculate whom." ”
Mu Jiaren nodded: "Okay, I believe you once." ”
Then she turned to the boss and said, "This is fifteen taels, which is considered a deposit, and I will take the cash and come to get the goods." ”
"Okay, I'll write you a note."
Mu Jiaren exchanged the silver and returned to the store, the man was already counting the goods, he sorted the animal skins again, and put aside the extremely bad ones, and the people in the Jiangnan animal skin store also followed suit, and told the man some ways to take care of and identify the good and bad.
After the money was gone, the guys left, and the man looked at the store and said, "They have rented it for a month, and there is a contract, if the son does not find a suitable place, he can still keep it here for more than 20 days." ”
Mu Jiaren didn't expect him to be quite capable, so she asked, "What's your name?" ”
"Oh, my name is Bao Shijie, I don't know the name of the son." Bao Shijie clenched his fists and saluted.
"Just call me Mu Gongzi, since you have a lot of ideas about business, I don't mind hiring you to come to the store."
"Really? Thank you Mu Gongzi! Bao Shijie was very happy, and scratched his head a little embarrassed.
"But now you need to help me find a storefront, these leather goods are not available for sale for the time being, and we need to find the right craftsmen to process them."
Bao Shijie thought for a while and said: "Actually, we can also cooperate, such as with accessories stores or ready-to-wear stores, so that we can save a lot of money." ”
"It's a good idea, but it doesn't mean that people are willing to work with me."
"Don't worry about this matter, Master Mu, I will handle it, after all, you hired me, and I also need to show some sincerity."
"Where are you from?"
"I'm not from Fuyun City, my family is a small town next to here, I'm the fifth household in the east of Baojiaying, my two sisters are married, my parents are farming, and I'm running around looking for things to do alone."
"You have such an idea, why didn't anyone hire you before?"
A person's ability is important, but his character is even more important, and if he is a good person, he should not be unable to find things to do.
"I've always had a job, but I don't know why my luck is always bad, the first one is a grocery store, I sell things very well, but who knows that the boss plans to marry my daughter, her daughter is fat and lazy, I was kicked out without agreeing."
After that, Bao Shijie told her in detail about each part-time work experience, but these stories have a pattern, he worked diligently, but in the end he left, some of the boss died suddenly, some were stolen by thieves at home, or the book was sold and encountered a fire, all the books were burned, the selling of snacks encountered a heavy rainstorm, and the flour was soaked into a paste.
Basically, the shops he worked in didn't end well, Mu Jiaren looked at the unlucky man in front of him, and had palpitations, should he change someone?
