Chapter 125: One is willing to fight and the other is willing to endure

His face immediately changed, he took a big step forward and covered his daughter's mouth, warning her in panic: "My dear daughter, the mouth can bring disaster."

Huang Fuqing listened carefully, but when he heard no one passing by, he continued, "We just need to do business well. Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, and don't know what you shouldn't know."

“As the saying goes, the less you know, the longer you live.” Just do business well, take the money you deserve, and don’t worry about anything else.

Huang Doudou was just curious because he heard from his father two days ago about Bai Tao beating up Princess Deyang in the street.

Seeing his father like this, he was also a little scared and nodded hurriedly: "Woo woo, Dad, Dad, I know, I won't ask anymore, I won't ask anymore."

"But, Dad, we at Huang's paid the full amount in one go, but we still haven't received the goods, right..." Huang Doudou wondered if this was too stupid.

However, considering his father's face, he didn't say it.

Speaking of this, Huang Fuqing's face flashed with uncertainty, but he quickly said firmly: "Don't worry, the young nobleman will not look down on our Huang's little money."

Just look at that exquisite booklet. Even the emperor would not be willing to use such a booklet for selecting concubines, right? !

Seeing his father's mysterious confidence, Huang Doudou swallowed the words in his mouth. Well, Daddy is still lucky, and he probably won't make a mistake this time.

Fortune Inn.

"Auntie, that Huang Fuqing..."

Bai Duojin told him everything that had happened.

After hearing the final price, Bai Tao couldn't help but sigh in her heart. She didn't expect that she was still too narrow-minded.

Yes, you can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a lamb. Even a powerful person like Princess Deyang coveted the hairpin she gave to Bai Qi. Huang Fuqing was a businessman, and the status of merchants in ancient times was not high.

It was a rare opportunity for him to hook up with a "powerful and wealthy" person, so naturally he would not dare to be stingy.

You know, he is a seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister.

No matter how much money you have, you have to know where to send it and make sure it can be sent out.

Although Bai Tao felt that selling pearl butterfly hairpins at a price of 0.4 coins per pair was a bit unscrupulous, she changed her mind and thought that these accessories were sold to rich people, and the principle was that it depends on who takes the risk.

What's more, in modern times, some big brands sell a piece of pot-scrubbing wire for tens of thousands of dollars, and she seems to think she is very conscientious.

"These are his filial piety...gifts to my aunt." After a pause, Bai Duojin used the word "gift". The word "filial piety" is only suitable for people from Taohua Village.

The people in Taohua Village have an inexplicable sense of superiority, and not everyone is worthy of honoring my aunt.

Eight rolls of silk and six rolls of fine brocade, with bright colors, suitable for making clothes for children.

There was also a brocade box containing some golden melon seeds, golden peanuts, and small golden beads.

Bai Tao knew that this was used by some wealthy people to reward their servants during the New Year and other festivals, but she had only seen it in TV dramas.

I guess Huang Fuqing wanted to give money but was afraid of being too abrupt, so he thought of giving these things so that she could remember him every time she gave a reward.

"He's quite thoughtful."

Bai Duojin only thought that the designs of these small golden melon seeds and peanuts were exquisite, but she didn't know there was such a saying behind them. After listening to them, she couldn't help but admire them and said, "Auntie, Huang Fuqing is really thoughtful."

"He not only prepared gifts for my aunt, but also for the three of us."

Each of the three of them received three pieces of fine brocade and a red envelope containing fifty taels of silver. This gift was quite generous.

"Aunt, we don't need these things, so we're just offering them to you as a token of our gratitude."

Bai Tao waved her hands and snorted, "Don't give me everything. Take it home. If you don't need it, how can your family members not need it?"

"Auntie, this is not appropriate." Bai Duojin smiled and said, "Auntie, please accept it. Just give it to the family in the village who needs it."

During the escape, their food, clothing and daily necessities were all taken care of by their aunt. The fact that they received the gift from Huang Fuqing was also thanks to their aunt.

"Then each of you keep one horse, and give the rest to Bai Dashan, and let him take care of the arrangements." Bai Tao: "You can take the silver. Whoever does a good job will be rewarded in the future."

We must always leave something for those who do the work. If everything is handed over to the public, it will not be long before people will worry not about scarcity but about inequality, not about poverty but about insecurity.

Bai Duojin and the other two agreed, but only one of them left a piece of fine brocade and five taels of silver, and left the rest to the village to arrange.

One should not be too greedy. I have to take care of the food, drink, defecation and urination of an entire village. I cannot let other villagers think that I am partial to me.

Although Huang Fuqing spoke with confidence, he was actually feeling very nervous during the next three days.

But when Bai Duojin and his men delivered the goods he ordered, he was surprised and happy.

Huang Fuqing subconsciously exclaimed: "So fast."

Bai Duojin smiled slightly: "Our aunt said that timeliness is also one of the costs. Since we want to make money, we can't procrastinate."

"Does Mr. Huang know the turnover rate?"

Huang Fuqing looked bewildered and asked cautiously, "But has the turnover rate offended the little nobleman?"

"Pfft, hahahaha, no, no, this turnover rate is not a person's name, it's a word."

Bai Duojin was overjoyed, and then he put into practice what he had learned from Bai Tao.

"When a merchant purchases goods, in addition to the purchase price, there are also storage and transportation costs, as well as capital costs. These and time together constitute the basic cost of the goods."

"Silver becomes goods. If it is sold at a very fast speed, there will be no backlog, the time cost is low, and the capital cost is also low."

"On the contrary, if the goods are kept on hand for a longer time, the money will take a longer time to flow back, and the cost will increase. This is the turnover rate."

"Although the business of the Silver Shop is to sell women's jewelry, it cannot escape these costs. Since Mr. Huang wants to make a name for the Huang's Silver Shop and make money, he naturally wants to sell quickly and not have too much inventory."

"As long as the turnover is fast, even if the profit is small, you can still make a lot if you sell more."

Huang Fuqing nodded in understanding: "I've learned a lot. Listening to your words is worth ten years of reading."

"Well, what's the big deal? We can learn from each other. There will be many opportunities for us to interact with each other in the future."

After chatting for a while, Bai Duojin changed the subject: "Mr. Huang owns a cloth shop. I wonder what the current purchase price of cotton is?"

Although Huang Fuqing was puzzled, he still answered and told without hiding anything where he ordered the cotton from.

"However, Cotton City was affected by drought last year, and now it is winter, the price of cotton is 40% higher than before, and the quantity that can be ordered is also very small."

He originally thought that it was because of the chaos on the border. Now it was winter, and the court wanted to purchase a large amount of cotton for military supplies. Unexpectedly, the next second, Bai Duojin's words made him stunned.
