Chapter 223: It all depends on the support of peers
Upon hearing this, Shopkeeper Qian laughed so happily that he began to praise, "Seeing is believing. Little Master Bai is indeed generous."
As the saying goes, seeing is believing. Even if it were true, these merchants would probably criticize the Baijiabao caravan more than they praised it.
But it was just polite words in the business world, so Bai Tao didn't want to delve into it.
"Thank you so much, it's all thanks to my peers."
Even if Bai Tao said these kinds of words seriously, to others it would sound like a baby imitating adult speech, and the nagging sound was somewhat hilarious.
Shopkeeper Qian wanted to get the goods from Bai Tao, so he naturally didn't dare to laugh.
Tao Jiaren tried hard to suppress her smile and held up the teacup to hide the curve of her lips. If she hadn't been afraid that speaking would make the serious Bai Tao angry, she would have bent over with laughter.
"I'll have someone come over to contact you in a couple of days." Bai Tao: "There are specific designs. Different accessories will naturally have different prices. When the time comes, you can choose according to your preference."
"Okay, okay." Shopkeeper Qian smiled happily. It was the first time he discovered that doing business was so easy.
It was so easy that he felt a little uncertain.
Looking at Bai Tao and glancing at Bai Dabao beside him, Manager Qian's eyes turned and he said with a smile, "To show my sincerity, I also want to apply for a points card."
Seeing that Bai Tao seemed a little surprised, Manager Qian explained, "The points card is portable and convenient. I can use it for transactions in two days after I get it done. It also saves me from going to the shop to exchange for silver bills."
"Just save 10,000 taels first."
"Okay." Bai Tao naturally would not disagree. She signaled Bai Dabao to help the shopkeeper apply for a bank card.
Although Manager Qian didn't say anything, Bai Tao knew what he was thinking. Was he afraid that she would forget about it?
He first gave her something to please her. This ten thousand taels could be seen as a display of his strength, and also as a way for her to see his sincerity.
Moreover, Manager Qian asked Tao Jiaren to be the middleman from the very beginning, which showed that he had some ulterior motives.
The minimum deposit was 10,000 yuan, so Bai Tao would of course give the shopkeeper a fan as a gift, but his was a folding fan.
Written in Chinese characters on the folding fan: Money comes from all directions.
Shopkeeper Qian didn't know any Chinese characters, so he admired the painting, praised it for a while, and then humbly asked for its content.
After he heard what Bai Tao said, his smiling face suddenly froze, with a look of disbelief.
Bai Tao saw this and said: "What's wrong? Don't you like it?"
"But if businessmen don't have a firm belief in making money, then even if the God of Wealth passes by with a box full of money, he may not stay, right?!"
Bai Tao said, with a proud look on her face: "The couplets hanging in my shop are very direct."
First couplet: Business is as beautiful as spring
Second line: The source of wealth is longer than the flow of water
Horizontal banner: Money rolling in
Shopkeeper Qian's cheeks twitched a few times. For a moment he didn't know how to comment and was filled with doubts in his heart.
Is it so direct?
Compared to the embarrassment of Shopkeeper Qian, Tao Jiaren nodded in agreement. She just felt that Bai Tao's self-righteous and money-loving look was particularly cute.
Therefore, Tao Jiaren also spoke up at the right time: "Isn't doing business to make money? It's something that everyone knows, so why hide it?"
"If you don't like it, I'll change it for you." Bai Tao said as she stretched out her hand, motioning for Manager Qian to return the folding fan to her.
Shopkeeper Qian hesitated for a moment, then thought of what Bai Tao said, and shook his head: "No, no, this one is good enough, let's take it, it's good enough."
He just expressed his thoughts. Besides Boss Tao and the young boss of the Baijiabao caravan, no one else could recognize the words on the folding fan.
Thinking of this, Shopkeeper Qian soon felt at ease.
In addition, he silently repeated in his mind: money comes from all directions, and there happened to be several groups of customers who came to the door and the transaction volume was good. Businessmen pay more attention to the theory of feng shui and luck, and Qian, the shopkeeper, felt that what Bai Tao said made sense.
If Bai Tao and Tao Jiaren hadn't wanted to continue shopping, he would probably have wanted to keep them for some tea.
at this time.
On the way to Xishi, Naya happily looked at the bracelet, then at the extended pearl sweater chain, holding one in each hand, and couldn't help laughing out loud with joy.
"Naya?"
"Naya!"
Naya came back to her senses: "Ah, brother, what's wrong, tell me."
"What do you think of that little girl?"
"Well, he's a smart kid." Naya tilted her head and thought for a moment, then continued, "When I was five, I didn't have such eloquence, let alone selling things at such a high price."
She cried for a long time when she was scared by Grandma Wolf and the long nose, but when she scared Bai Tao today, people just looked at her with half-belief and half-doubt.
Nakun: "Do you think the store she mentioned really has the good stuff she said?"
Naya shook her head: "Brother, you've stumped me. I haven't seen it either, so how would I know?"
Seeing that his sister was still focused on the pearl jewelry she had just bought, Nakun knew that it was useless to say anything, so he remained silent.
Xishi is bustling today.
Several shops that changed owners opened for business at the same time a few days ago.
Fine and white snow salt, fragrant peanut oil, whole and translucent white rice, colorful beans... these are the things in the grain and oil shop.
In textile stores, there are old coarse cloth, fine cotton cloth, brocade, as well as chemical fibers and flannel that ancient people had never seen.
That’s not all. There was actually a lot of cotton for sale at this time. The cotton buds were large, the cotton was long and soft, white and shiny, and the softness and luster were unprecedented.
Even more surprising is the butcher shop.
Junji Town was like other towns, with meat and vegetables all sold at small stalls, but this was the first town to directly take over a shop to sell meat.
The State of Jin prohibited the people from killing oxen for work at will. Even the procedures for slaughtering beef cattle were extremely complicated. Although it was not so strict in Junji Town, beef was not common.
Even if there were any, they were bought from Liang State.
The Liang State is not stupid. Who knows whether you, the Jin State, buy cattle for farming or eating, so the price is not cheap.
However, the shop owned by the Baijiabao caravan sells several kinds of meat, including beef, mutton, horse meat, mule meat, donkey meat, etc., as well as game such as rabbit meat and roe deer.
It seems that the quantity is still sufficient. After all, a butcher shop cannot only do business for three to five days, otherwise there is no need to sell it in the shop, which surprised the people in Junji Town.
The raw meat shop is surprising enough, but there is also a shop selling cooked meat. This shop has more than a dozen flavors of cooked beef alone.
Someone accidentally walked into the snack shop of the Baijiabao caravan and was dazzled by the variety of dried fruits and candied fruits.
"Welcome to the dessert shop, the new store is open, 9.8% off on all items..."
Soon, someone couldn't resist the store clerk's recommendation and bought some milk-flavored chocolate with the idea of giving it a try.
He was so impressed by the meal that he just walked a few steps out of the store, turned around and went back into the store, and weighed another half a pound without saying a word.
