Chapter 806: Uneasy About the Low Profits
On the ninth day of the first lunar month, the Shengxu Grocery Store and Pawnshop in the East City opened for business.
Four people wearing Hu clothing came in. The four people were wearing good clothes.
They wore camel leather boots on their feet, and you could see a circle of wolf leather pants that were not covered by the yak leather coat.
The scabbard on the waist was inlaid with gems, and there was a chain of sky beads around the neck.
Just this set of clothes cost a lot of money. The shopkeeper knew the goods.
But he didn't move, he had to be reserved and let the four people look at the goods.
The four people picked up something to look at, and then gathered together to discuss it in their language, put it down, and were not satisfied.
Then they picked up another thing, but they were still not satisfied.
When they got the heating pad, the four people were curious and thought about it, but they couldn't figure out the use.
"What is this?" A man wearing an eagle feather hat asked.
"Heating pad." The shopkeeper personally served, he took a heating pad, directly tore off the oil paper on one side, and twisted it in his hand.
"If you tie it to your body, it will become warm. If you put it in your boots, your feet and legs won't be cold." The shopkeeper put the heating pad on the man's hand.
The man felt it for a while and showed a surprised expression. The other three people tried it separately and found that it was indeed hot.
They gathered together and whispered. The shopkeeper pretended to organize things, but he was listening. The shopkeeper would say what the four people said.
As he listened, the shopkeeper had a smile on his face.
"How much is one?" The man just came over with a heating pad.
The shopkeeper gestured eight with his hand: "Eighty coins."
"Tell me where you got it from, and I'll give you this." The man took out a stack of exchange coupons and randomly drew one, with a large denomination of one string.
The shopkeeper smiled and shook his head: "Buy more to get a discount."
"How many are there, and what's the price?" A bearded Hu man next to him spoke.
"Nine hundred and ninety-nine, originally one thousand, try one, not counting the money, buy all, you give seventy-five strings." The shopkeeper replied with a number of money.
"It's too expensive." The bearded man shook his head: "You lower the price, or we can go to other places to have a look."
"Others don't have it. If you don't believe it, go and have a look. So, 70 qian, it can't be lower."
The shopkeeper looked like he was not afraid of you going to other people's houses, but he still lowered the price.
The other party still shook his head: "60 qian, if it doesn't work, we won't buy it."
"It doesn't fit. To be honest, my purchase price is 63 qian. You have to make me earn a little. Three liang qian per piece, 66 qian."
The shopkeeper smiled bitterly and explained the purchase price.
"We want to buy more. You go and negotiate with them. It's 60 qian per piece."
The bearded man bargained, and the person next to him pulled him, pointed to the door with his eyes, and whispered.
The shopkeeper's heart tightened, and the other party said to go to other places to have a look, just in case there is a cheaper one.
"60 qian per piece is fine. How much do you want to buy? Leave a deposit first, I will negotiate. If it can be lower, I will give you a lower price."
"One hundred thousand, 55 qian per piece." The man wearing the eagle feather hat lowered the price again.
"This..." The shopkeeper showed an embarrassment.
"Let's go." The Hu man with two strings of Dzi beads around his neck turned around and was about to leave.
"Wait, it's just 55 coins, sign a document, pay a deposit, and the deposit will not be refunded if you don't buy it." The shopkeeper stopped him.
"How much is the deposit?" The man who was about to leave turned his head, as if the shopkeeper could no longer satisfy him, so he went out.
"According to the rules, 30%." The shopkeeper's palms were sweating, the rule was actually 20%.
"One thousand five hundred coins deposit? Find a broker, you pay the brokerage fee." The man who was about to leave returned a price, otherwise it would be 1,650 coins.
"Okay, I'll take a loss." The shopkeeper gritted his teeth and agreed, winked at the clerk, and the clerk jumped out to find a broker.
It didn't take long for the contract to be signed.
It said to buy 100,000 heating patches, the unit price was 55 coins, the total price was 5,500 coins, the deposit was 1,500 coins, the deposit was not refundable, and the goods were to be delivered before dark tomorrow.
If the goods could not be delivered, the deposit would be refunded three times.
Both parties agreed.
He gave the shopkeeper 1,500 strings of cash on the spot, and the shopkeeper wrote a receipt.
The 999 in the store were given a 55-string exchange voucher, which was loaded on a carriage and taken away.
The four people went out and looked for other shops.
"Quick, close the door, it's closed, I have to go buy something, get ahead of others." The shopkeeper was anxious.
He ran out to find a horse and headed east. Riding fast horses was not allowed in the city.
The East Market was only one block away from Chunming Gate in the east. He rode the horse to control the speed, went out of the city gate, and immediately accelerated to the south.
He ran to the outside of Furong Garden and turned southwest.
He ran to the newly built warehouse area in the south of the city in one breath, and found the location of the heating pad according to the number.
"Is there anyone? I am the shopkeeper of Shengxu, is there anyone?"
Outside the warehouse, he looked inside and could see a figure swaying inside.
After a while, someone came out, and it was one of the people who came to his store to sell that day.
"So it's Shopkeeper Jiang's. Shopkeeper Jiang's is..." The man who came out clasped his fists, looking surprised.
Riding on a horse, he raised his head slightly, arrogantly, he was a rich man.
"Shopkeeper Jiang, where's the money?" The salesman looked up and spoke.
"Didn't you say you'd pay me after I sold it?" The shopkeeper looked down and glared.
"Then there are one thousand, but not others. The goods are not mine. My boss is in Luoyang, and I'm just a clerk." The man who claimed to be a clerk spread his hands.
"Give me one hundred thousand, and I'll pay you tonight. One hundred thousand, you have to think about it, oh, the price has to be reduced, twenty cents each, no, eighteen cents each."
Shopkeeper Jiang was still so arrogant, and directly lowered the price.
The clerk smiled bitterly: "Manager Jiang, I was just about to tell you that in the future, the price for goods will not be thirty coins, but fifty coins. No matter how many goods, it will be fifty coins.
The ones in front are for big advertising. Yesterday and early this morning, some people came to buy them. The heating pads are in great demand.
If it doesn't work, just the thousand. If they are not sold, we will take them back. If they are sold, we will give thirty coins each."
"Don't want to sell things in Shengxu in the future?" Manager Jiang was full of anger. The price has increased?
He found that the situation was not right. He was too anxious, and he wanted 100,000 at once, and the other party followed suit.
"How can a seller not think about Manager Jiang's care, but there is really no way. Why don't I decide to reduce the price for Manager Jiang when new goods come in the future."
The clerk still had that bitter smile.
"Okay, fifty coins, take the goods."
Manager Jiang thought that even if he made less money, at least he could still make money. If he couldn't provide it, he would need to give others three thousand coins for free.
The Jiang family lost everything in an instant.
"Where's the money? We can't ship without it." The clerk looked at Shopkeeper Jiang eagerly.
"Wait for me, I'll get it right away. Write a receipt first."
Shopkeeper Jiang got off his horse and asked UU to write one, otherwise what if the price went up again after he got the money back?
The clerk agreed and wrote two receipts, which meant that Shopkeeper Jiang should bring cash, and he would give 100,000 warming pads for 50 coins each, one for each person.
Shopkeeper Jiang rode away again, returned to the East Market, and took out the cash, including the deposit, which was not enough.
He borrowed some more from the broker, made up 5,000 coins, changed a horse, and carried a big bag of money to the warehouse.
The two sides handed over, and 100,000 warming pads were loaded on the truck and delivered for free.
Shopkeeper Jiang was relieved at this time. He made 5 coins for one, and 100,000 was 500,000 coins, 500 coins, not a small amount.
But he still felt aggrieved, because he could obviously make more.
