Chapter 136: Age of Madness (7)

Xu Ping and Wang Yaochen looked at each other and smiled, but they didn't expect that the woman was doing this kind of business. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Making clothes is always inevitable to cut and cut, and when a piece of clothing is made, there are a lot of rags left. It is said that when designing the version of clothes, you should think about how to cut it to maximize the use of fabric and reduce waste. However, this era is not so fine, relying on the experience of the old tailor, the rest of the cloth is large and small, and the specifications are different. There are those who specialize in collecting these cloth heads, and they go back to splicing and splicing, or making cheap clothes, or making small objects, and they also make a lot of money.

Qin's second sister-in-law obviously suffered a lot of losses, and this time she bit the price to death, and she didn't drop a penny. The endurance of the woman who bought the cloth was breathtaking, and she couldn't stop pestering. Qin's second sister-in-law wanted to leave, so she grabbed her, talked about it twice, and talked about the price.

Wang Yaochen shook his head again and again, the methods of these small businessmen opened his eyes, he had read sage books all his life, and he didn't expect that someone would spend so much effort for a penny or two.

The quarrel became louder, and Sister Tang came out of it and said to the woman who bought the cloth: "Mother Gu, this price is discussed by several of us, and it can't be lowered for a penny, otherwise it won't be able to be explained." If you don't buy it, we will sell it to other companies, you don't have to entangle here, our shop still has to do business! ”

Mother Gu said with a bitter face: "Two ladies, if the price is not reduced, it will not be reduced, it is not easy for you to do business, and I am not a person who cares about catties." Otherwise, how about throwing a fraction of the scale off me? ”

Second sister-in-law Qin was a little confused: "Why are you so difficult?" That's not without our money! If you buy it, you can buy it, forget it if you don't buy it, other families can't buy our cloth if they want to! We remember that you were the first to do this business, and we deliberately stayed to sell it to you, if you feel that it is not worth it, don't come as soon as possible! ”

Gu's mother laughed again and again, and said, "Why are you annoyed!" We have a small business, don't calculate carefully-"

At this point, she had to continue to bargain, and Qin's second sister-in-law simply went crazy: "Don't sell it!" Not for sale! We-"

Mother Gu saw that Qin's second sister-in-law's face had changed, so she really panicked, and pressed the burden of the cloth head, and said in her mouth: "Why are you annoyed when you talk about it?" Do you have to negotiate the price when you do business - okay, okay, second sister-in-law, I won't talk about it, it's okay if you don't talk about it? Just according to the amount of money just now, I want it! ――Remember to leave it to me next time! ”

Gu's mother counted the money, carried two huge burdens, and turned around to instruct while walking towards the door.

Second Sister-in-law Qin and Elder Sister Tang glanced at each other, just shaking their heads and sighing. There is really no way to meet this kind of buyer. In this year's business, we have to talk about word of mouth, and this kind of old customer can't be replaced casually, and it's helpless.

Watching Gu's mother walk out of the store, Sister Tang looked around the store, and finally saw Xu Ping, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "It turns out that the Ducao officials are here, why don't you give an order?" How rude we are to stand here like this! ”

Xu Ping said: "I don't have anything to do, take a look around, you go and get busy with yours." ”

"How can that be? The official is here, so he wants to drink a bowl of tea! As she spoke, Aunt Tang instructed the female envoy next to her to serve tea inside, and called Qin's second sister-in-law to come over to greet her.

After the ceremony, Sister Tang invited Xu Ping and Wang Yaochen to the store to do it, Xu Ping shook his head and refused: "It's not too early, let's take a look around and go back to the yamen." By the way, how has your business been lately? ”

"Okay, good, the blessing of the officials of Tuodu Cao, it's been really prosperous recently, and we can't be busy!"

"Well, it has nothing to do with me, it's all your business-"

"Don't say that, officials, if it weren't for the money bank that lent us money a few days ago, where would there be a good business now! Now, even the guests of the state army outside the road have many ready-to-wear clothes with us. Alas, if it weren't for the money bank that took out the loan, how could we have the capital to buy cloth and hire people. Today, it's all up to the officials—"

Xu Ping waved his hand: "When I set up a company, I said that as long as I do business honestly, I can borrow money from Qianzhuang." You don't have to thank me, you deserve it. ”

Sister Tang said sincerely, "I know that officials are people who do big things, and we little people can't think of going together." But anyway, this time it's a thank you! ”

Xu Ping diverted the topic: "You said that the outer state army also bought ready-to-wear clothes from you?" That's a real business—"

"Yes, those guests will do the math, buy the cloth and go back, and then find someone to cut and sew it, and a piece of clothing will be much more expensive than ours. They sell ready-to-wear clothes and make a lot more money than they do selling cloth. ”

This is to lengthen the industrial chain of cotton cloth, the longer the industrial chain of Luoyang City, the more industrial advantages there are, and it will become the textile center of this era if you are not careful. At the beginning of the commodity economy, the role of this industrial center is particularly important, and the agglomeration of industries will lead to the evolution of industries, and at the same time, it will also catalyze the differentiation of related industries and become more and more professional. China is so big that no matter how big the industry is, when it is sprinkled across the country, it will become a sesame seed on a baked cake, with only a thin layer. Only by aggregating can we rely on the vast market to promote the development of the commodity economy.

What Xu Ping hopes is to rely on the cotton industry to form an industrial center in Luoyang. Only his own ideas, the various theories brought from his previous life, will have a testing ground, and from here it will spread to the whole country.

After chatting for a while, seeing that it was not early, Xu Ping and Wang Yaochen said goodbye to Sister Tang and Second Sister-in-law Qin and left the shop.

Looking at the backs of the two of them going out, Sister Tang said to Qin's second sister-in-law: "Second sister-in-law, the Ducao official just now is the husband of the little lady Xiuxiu I often talk about. We have this shop today, thanks to him! ”

Second sister-in-law Qin turned her head to look at Xu Ping's figure again, and then said: "It turns out that the Ducao officials you said are so young, I still want to be such a big official!" What a blessing for the little lady Xiuxiu! I used to be in the countryside of Longmen, and Luoyang City couldn't enter once a year, where could I see these big people! As a city person, I really have more knowledge. ”

"Du Cao Guanren is the Tanhualang of the year, the youngest Jinshi in the fifth year of Tiansheng, of course he is young! By the way, the judge who was with him was the champion of that year, and he was not very old, but the official was younger than the Ducao official. ”

The woman's family was particularly interested in these gossips and anecdotes, and Qin's second sister-in-law became curious and pulled Sister Tang to talk non-stop.

By this time the sun had already set, and it was hazy, and the streets were noticeably less pedestrian. Xu Ping felt that he was still unsatisfied, and said to Wang Yaochen: "Not far in front of him is the shop opened by the twelve langs of Zhang Wenjie's house. If we have time today, why don't we go there and drink two glasses of wine and see how his business goes. ”
