Chapter 229 Wealth comes from all directions
Mrs. Zou didn't want to give in: "My parents-in-law are old and think silk is too cold and cotton is too rough. I was in a dilemma and happened to see this."
"I want to buy it back quickly and replace it for them inside and out."
This fabric is not only good for making underwear, but also for making bed sheets and quilt covers.
This fabric is also good for the cushions on the chairs...
Although a piece of cloth may seem like a lot, if it is divided everywhere, there won't be much left.
Seeing the two ladies about to quarrel over a piece of cloth, the shopkeeper hurried forward to mediate.
"Madams, we have dark green, dark blue, and brown ones here...the textures are all the same, just the colors are different."
"Why don't you two choose a few more colors?"
The two ladies did not want to have a falling out, and when they saw that the new patterns that had just been moved out were indeed good, they each selected a dozen patterns and ordered several dozen feet.
The main idea is to "save what you can't use up first".
By the time Xiao Yingchun and Prince Fu Chenan entered Xiao's Cloth Shop, the shopkeeper and his employees were so busy that they had no time to wear thick clothes.
It was a very cold day and sweat could be seen on everyone's forehead.
Although they were busy, they were very happy: they sold more in that day than they did in a month when they were clerks in a cloth shop.
The customers seemed to be infected with the enthusiasm. They calculated while waiting in line, and did not pick and choose too much when it was their turn. They did not haggle over the price, but just pointed at a few patterns and shouted.
"This one is twenty feet, this one is thirty feet, this one is also thirty feet..."
The transaction speed for each customer is extremely fast and the volume is huge.
How much you earn is a secondary issue; what’s most important is the sense of accomplishment.
I feel so full of energy!
Xiao Yingchun and Fu Chenan were both very excited: the business of these two stores is so good!
If shops everywhere continue at this pace, there will be hope that Tianwu Kingdom’s dry treasury will be replenished!
The two of them looked around and returned to the East Palace.
They will naturally send the specific sales volume to the palace after closing time, and they will also propose a replenishment plan.
However, judging by the current sales situation in Beijing, it is obviously necessary to replenish the stock earlier than expected.
Fu Chenan thought for a moment and said, "The plastic basins, buckets, glasses and bowls will arrive tomorrow, right?"
Xiao Yingchun nodded: "Yes, I asked them to send several cars over."
"Plastic basins and buckets can be sent to various prefectures in addition to the capital. Glass cups and bowls can be sold in the capital first."
There are many wealthy people in the capital, and glass can be sold at a high price.”
“Plastic basins and buckets are safer to transport and convenient to sell to various state capitals.
Fu Chenan agreed: "I have asked people to buy several shops on both sides of Tao Tao Ji, and the shops next to them are also ready. We can open them as soon as the goods arrive."
This row of shops were burned down at first and were rebuilt recently. They were properties purchased after the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion fire.
Fu Chenan bought it at market price and asked someone to tidy it up a bit before opening it for business.
"What should we name the shop selling glass?" Fu Chenan looked at Xiao Yingchun.
Xiao Yingchun said as a matter of course: "Liulifang."
Glass is also called Liuli in Tianwu Kingdom.
This kind of high-end and classy stuff has a purchase price of ten yuan for eight pieces, so it should cost at least one or two taels of silver each, right?
The business of Liulifang must be good.
As soon as Xiao Yingchun's decision was finalized, Fu Chenan asked someone to write the plaque and make arrangements.
At nightfall, the money and account books collected from the two stores in the capital were delivered.
Looking at the several heavy boxes of silver and banknotes, and then looking at the account books, Xiao Yingchun and Fu Chenan were silent.
The combined daily turnover of the two shops exceeded 150,000 taels...
Even if Tao Tao Ji had not been open for a long time and many wealthy families had run out of stock, they would not have sold so many, right?
The account book showed that the thick cotton cloth sold very well. One tael of silver was purchased for one foot of cloth. A roll of cloth was one hundred meters, or three hundred feet.
The cloth shop sold nearly 30,000 taels in one day!
Tao Tao Ji’s figure was even more exaggerated, it actually exceeded 120,000 taels!
Many people rounded up their prices, some 100 taels, some 200 taels... the most outrageous one bought 3,000 taels and 10 copper coins. Xiao Yingchun had some guesses in her mind, and looked at the soldier from the Royal Guard Battalion who delivered the silver: "Did Chunhua ask you to pass on any message?"
Soldier of the Royal Guard Battalion: "Shopkeeper Chunhua asked me to report to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Miss Xiao: many customers came for the pink rose soap."
"They all want to round up and get a bar of that soap..."
Xiao Yingchun and Fu Chenan looked at each other and asked their men to retreat.
Who would have thought that one of the simplest sales strategies of the 21st century would have such amazing results.
I have money now...
Fu Chenan silently called the eunuchs and said, "Tell them to choose a site outside the capital and build the Yingchun Academy. It must be strong and durable..."
After the eunuchs left, Xiao Yingchun also said goodbye: "It's getting dark, I have to go."
Fu Chenan asked someone to deliver food, and took the food back to the Space-Time Supermarket to eat.
Xiao Yingchun replied to messages while eating.
He Liangcong sent a message and a short video.
The art exhibition of golden nanmu, red sandalwood and rosewood in Beijing started early this morning.
The exhibition is divided into two parts, one of which is small items with a fixed price.
Tea trays, beads, small stools, small ornaments and the like.
Because the materials and workmanship are good enough, and the items are old palace items with a sense of age that Fu Chenan specially picked out, the items are very popular.
The items were priced from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands, and they looked like a good deal no matter how you looked at them. More than 50 items were sold in one day, and this one item alone sold for more than 30 million.
The other part is for subsequent auction. Compared with the small items with a fixed price, these are much more exquisite and shine brightly under the light and background.
Especially the four rosewood brocade screens, which are so eye-catching that one can't take their eyes away.
He Liangcong boasted proudly: "I also invited quite a few self-media people to film it. Several videos went viral today, all talking about the rosewood brocade screen..."
He Liangcong also forwarded several short videos posted by self-media, some of which received tens of thousands of likes.
Xiao Yingchun gave He Liangcong a series of likes and then looked at Tang Siqiong's message.
Tang Siqiong's message was actually also about the rosewood screen.
"Yingchun, have you watched this video? I have some ideas I want to discuss with you."
The next one is the video of the rosewood kesi screen that He Liangcong also posted.
Xiao Yingchun called Tang Siqiong back.
Tang Siqiong's voice on the other end of the phone was still full of energy: "Yingchun baby, you finally called back..."
Tang Siqiong came up with the idea of a new business after the viral video of the kesi screen became popular.
In the past two days, she and He Liangcong have found a venue for holding a weaving and embroidery exhibition. They have also contacted professionals and are working on the venue arrangement.
Although renting costumes and jewelry can make money, not every crew is willing to invest so much. How many orders a year?
But what if we could find a stable channel to expand the influence of the exhibition while also selling products of top-level weaving and embroidery crafts such as kesi, Suzhou embroidery, Yunjin, and Shu embroidery?
This kind of top-level luxury product cannot be compared with any other brand.
The sales volume and price are definitely not bad.
Xiao Yingchun certainly supported this idea.
However, a mature craftsman is rare and his salary is definitely not low. Most of them are hired by some studios with high salaries.
"Aunt Tang, your idea is great and I support it, but I'm not familiar with any craftsmen in this field. How about you check out the market first and see if you can find someone?"
Tang Siqiong also knew that things were not easy, but she was proactive and immediately decided to find out and find out.
It's not too late to turn back after hitting the wall.
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Yingchun was about to continue eating when she met Fu Chenan's aggrieved eyes.
Xiao Yingchun: ???
"what happened to you?"
Fu Chenan: "If there is no craftsman, why don't you look for me?"
Xiao Yingchun was stunned for three seconds before reacting: "You mean, you have craftsmen over there?"
Fu Chenan nodded: "Of course there is."
