The host's wife was a cheerful person, so she didn't talk tactfully to Lu Fenghe and directly talked about buying tea.
"Normally, I don't care much about the business of the tea shop, but when I met Madam yesterday, I wanted to shamelessly establish friendship with Madam and make this business. Last night, I also got a word from the master. If Madam wants to
, I can still give in to the price.”
After the owner's wife finished speaking, she asked the shopkeeper to bring out the booklet and "report the prices of various teas to Madam."
The brochure in the shopkeeper's hand showed the usual prices sold by the tea shop. Lu Fenghe heard that they were not much different from the market price.
Lu Fenghe glanced at Jinbao, who listened more carefully, pointed out two or three kinds of tea and asked about the inventory.
"This price is the price our firm usually sells. It depends on how much the lady wants. A little more is acceptable."
Lu Fenghe stopped pretending to be an expert and said, "Jinbao will tell you."
Jinbao pointed to the four kinds of tea on the table, "All four of these are fine. It's just that the tea on the cabinet is of different sizes. Some are half a catty and some are two catties. If there are ones of similar sizes, I think it would be a good idea."
You can have as much as you want, and you can use these two kinds of tea to make up for the rest."
"In addition, I heard from the shopkeeper that there is not much stock. If the lady doesn't mind the shortage, it would be appropriate to buy them all."
This is to let Lu Fenghe make up his mind.
Lu Fenghe chose the last thing he said, "Then I'll take all of this. As for this Tuancha, I don't know how expensive it is."
The owner's wife immediately asked the shopkeeper to order it.
"Madam, you have good taste. This tea is also sold well in the store, so it is made into different portions. It is also tea from our own tea mountain. If Madam likes it, I can make it according to Madam's request."
They all said that they were shopping around, so Lu Fenghe didn't even think about it and decided on it all at once. After sitting for a while, he said he would go and see the prosperity of Jiangning City before taking the others away.
In this way, I only visited three stores in the morning. I arrived at Yang Kee Store at noon. Mrs. Yang had been waiting all morning.
Seeing Mrs. Yang waiting, Lu Fenghe didn't feel embarrassed at all. He said hello to Mrs. Yang with a smile, and then looked at the tea.
Lu Fenghe said nothing and just watched the tea, while Jin Bao followed beside him and commented.
Mrs. Yang's tea, how should I say it? After all, it is collected from all over the place, and the quality varies. A large amount is a big one, but if you divide it into each type, it is not a big one.
Jinbao didn't say anything, but Lu Fenghe also realized this problem.
"With all due respect, although Madam, this batch of tea is all medium-grade, medium-grade can be divided into upper, middle and lower." Lu Fenghe did not explain directly, "If you want to sell this tea, I can find a way to sell it, but I
When you first start a business, your reputation is also very important. The quality varies, which is really a bit..."
Lu Fenghe didn't say what he said next, and Mrs. Yang also knew it well.
"Madam, please be happy. I don't want to beat around the bush. We also go by caravan. There is no way to sell the tea to the north. But if Madam can buy it, we will save ourselves a lot of trouble."
Lu Fenghe didn't say anything, but what he was thinking in his heart was, if you really have the means to go to the north, you can sell the tea and earn back the money. I'm afraid I won't be able to save the tea until now. I'm in a hurry now.
Sold it to me in a panic.
Every place has its own rules. Those who want to buy silk should not go to Suzhou and Hangzhou, and those who want to sell porcelain should not go to Raozhou. Naturally, there are tea shops in the North. The profit of tea is extremely high. How can a foreign businessman easily let it happen?
The team earned this money.
Mrs. Yang still underestimated her enemy, thinking that Lu Fenghe could only ask Mrs. Wei to buy tea because she only asked acquaintances to do things, and would only ask acquaintances for everything.
If this is the case, knowing that he has tea in his hand, he must have found an acquaintance, such as Wei Jiaojiao, and then approached her. As long as she offers tea that is three to five cents cheaper than Mrs. Wei, Lu Fenghe will buy it.
It's a pity that this is not Lu Fenghe's business alone. She also has to make money, and Wei Jiaojiao is not the only one she knows.
Mrs. Yang finally panicked after reading so much about Lu Fenghe and recommending herself to the family last night. The richest man in Jiangning is the Yang family, but the Yang family is not a serious business family. Besides, other families may not be as good as the Yang family.
The family is inferior, it’s just that they don’t want to live up to their reputation.
I originally thought that Lu Fenghe should give me some face after going there last night, but if nothing else, I still had to wait for a long time for someone to come today. Mrs. Yang really lost her temper.
Lu Fenghe discussed with Jinbao, "If you can give me this amount of tea in Madam's hand, I will take care of it all."
"What? Only five thousand taels!" Mrs. Yang exclaimed.
Lu Fenghe nodded, "This tea of yours needs to be sorted when we go back. We still don't know if it's worth five thousand taels after sorting."
Mrs. Yang checked her own account last night, and she received 4,800 taels in total, not counting the errands and hard work of the shopkeepers. Now she is only given 5,000 taels, so she will make a profit if she pays the full amount.
Early one hundred taels.
Mrs. Yang was very reluctant. If she sold it, her hard work would be in vain. If she didn't sell it, she really wouldn't be able to handle the tea by herself.
Lu Fenghe couldn't wait for Mrs. Yang to be entangled in her plans.
"If Madam thinks about it again, I'll go check out other shops." Lu Fenghe said and was about to leave.
Mrs. Yang's heart skipped a beat and she gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, five thousand taels will be five thousand taels. I want cash in cash."
"Mrs. Yang is indeed a cheerful person. I will pay you a deposit of five hundred taels first. After loading the ship in a few days, and after counting, the remaining silver will be given to you immediately."
I originally planned to buy Mrs. Yang's tea, but now that I have saved nearly a thousand taels of silver, Lu Fenghe feels extremely happy. What he saves is what he earns. Lu Fenghe thinks that this is probably the joy of doing business.
Although he bought all the tea from Mrs. Yang, Lu Fenghe continued to look at the tea from other shops and ordered some more. He also agreed to ship the tea a month later.
First go to the northwest border market to earn back your capital, and then you have to go to the west border market twice.
If it is as popular as expected, I'm afraid there will still be plenty of tea to ask for, and there is no harm in making good friends with these shops.
Lu Fenghe spent two days visiting all the businesses that left their names at the banquet, and achieved great results. He met all kinds of businessmen. Although he was tired, he was just tired from walking around a lot. Compared with those in the same backyard in Kyoto,
The lady's twists and turns made Lu Fenghe feel that the businessman was much better.
Everyone's purpose is very clear, to facilitate transactions.
If we reach an agreement, of course we will be fine with you.
If we can't reach an agreement and don't say anything bad, the worst thing we can do is look bad.
There is no such thing as forming cliques, criticizing others, or settling old scores. No one has the time to spare.
If this business fails, there is still another business waiting. Who can stare at this little thing in front of them every day?
