Chapter 147: Attracting Guests
It's April.
As we enter April, the workshop is even busier.
And the canal, which had been waiting for a long time, was opened.
After the canal was opened, the number of strangers who came to Qingshui County suddenly increased, and most of these people were businessmen who came to do business.
There are people who have been to Qingshui County before, and there are newcomers who have come here for the first time, and most of them have brought a lot of goods to sell to the north.
And Qingshui County is where they rest.
Of course, not only Qingshui County, but also several nearby counties close to the canal are also places where these merchants settle.
In previous years, they only came to Qingshui County to make a stopover, rest, and sell some goods brought from various places by the way, and then directly transported them to the north to do business, so they generally stayed for three or five days.
It's just that there are many people in Qingshui County, and there is no special place, so these merchants would rather rest in the inn than go out for a stroll.
But this time, as soon as many of them arrived in Qingshui County, they found that there seemed to be something different in the county.
As soon as I entered the county, I saw a lot of children wearing the same clothes running around on the street, and those pieces of paper full of words were distributed when they met people, and they shouted while posting: "On the ninth day of the first month of April, Nishang held a clothing exhibition, all kinds of good-looking clothes are all good and cheap, welcome everyone to come and watch." ”
"What is this?" When someone saw it, he stopped one of the children with some confusion and asked.
The child hooked the corners of his mouth when he heard this: "You are from out of town, you may not know, this neon dress is our largest garment workshop in Qingshui County, whether it is clothes or fabrics, it is much cheaper than other stores, and the style and quality are a lot better than the shops next to it, by the way, recently there is a new calico in Nishang, which can be regarded as a new thing in several counties near us, if you are interested, you can also go to see." ”
Hearing the child's words, the merchant was not interested in these things.
I just thought it was some gimmick specially made by the shop in order to attract customers.
As businessmen, they know that it is not easy for ordinary shops to make money, especially this cloth clothing, which basically earns some hard-earned money, how can it be so cheap.
However, when he heard the child talk about calico, he was slightly interested.
After he entered Qingshui County, he actually found that there was a special kind of cloth made of clothes on the street, this kind of cloth was brightly colored, and all kinds of patterns were printed on it, which did not look embroidered, but it was colorful and very eye-catching.
And many ordinary people also wore them, which attracted his attention all of a sudden.
It's just that he also knows that the price of pigments is not cheap nowadays, so he subconsciously feels that the price of this calico is not low.
In addition, he is not a big businessman himself, and he only watches the sale of some goods from the south to the north to earn some hard money, so he doesn't pay much attention to this expensive cloth.
But when I heard this kid say this, I was slightly moved.
The Northland is desolate, and the bright colors of the Northland are even rarer than those of the South.
If you can sell these calicos to the North, you will definitely make a lot of money, after all, there are all kinds of families and rich people in the Northland, and it is a big deal to raise some prices and sell things more expensive, and you will definitely be able to make money.
Thinking of this, he was a little eager to try, and after thinking about it, he said:
"Child, do you know how much more this calico costs than ordinary cloth?"
The merchant was also a little apprehensive when he asked.
It's just that this calico is also prepared to be several times more expensive than ordinary cloth.
He also planned that if it was not too expensive, he would use the surplus money he had prepared this time to buy some of the calico.
And this kid obviously understands this.
After hearing his inquiry, he waved his hand on the spot and said: "Sir, don't worry, the things in the neon dress are the most inexpensive, but this calico is dyed with expensive pigments, so the price may be two or three times more expensive than ordinary fabrics." ”
"But don't worry, this price is not too expensive, and even ordinary people in our county can afford it through gritted teeth.
If you are interested, you can come to our clothing exhibition at that time, whether it is clothes or calico, there are all kinds of displays, you can choose from them, if you buy some to sell elsewhere, you will definitely make money at that time. ”
Hearing him say this, the merchant said in some surprise: "Are you sure it's only two or three times more expensive?" ”
The price of some ordinary fabrics is only about 100 Wen, and now you only need 2 or 300 Wen here to buy a batch of this brightly colored and very good quality calico, which is very inferior no matter where it is placed.
So, some uncertain rhetorical questions were asked.
Hearing him ask, the kid nodded without thinking about it: "Don't worry, sir, when I came, the owner of this neon dress told us the price, I won't be mistaken, if you don't worry, you can ask yourself at that time." ”
"That's right." The merchant nodded, feeling a little excited.
If that's the price, then what else do you sell?
As long as you use the surplus money in your hand to buy this calico, you will definitely be able to make a lot of money when you get to the Northland.
Thinking of this, my heart was also excited, and I couldn't wait to go to Nishang to buy some calico to sell in the Northland.
But at this time, the child said again: "But if you need to buy calico in large quantities, you can wait, and then go to the beginning of the exhibition, when there will be a lot of fresh styles on display, which style you need to order directly, if you are a large order, the price will be cheaper." ”
Hearing the child say this, the businessman's eyes lit up again, they were already so cheap, and they could be cheaper, there was really such a good thing in the world.
While he didn't believe it in his heart, he looked forward to it a little.
After thinking about it, I was finally very excited.
So he said to the child, "Can you give me a copy of this booklet?" ”
The child had come to hand out the brochure, so he nodded and handed it to the merchant.
When the merchant got the booklet, he looked at it carefully.
Sure enough, I saw a lot of introductions about the exhibition in the brochure.
For example, the content, venue, and time of the fashion exhibition.
There are all sorts of fresh stuff on it.
It makes people feel itchy at first glance.
