Zhang Rongqin waved his hand to the other boys to continue working, leaving only Chen Gui beside him. Chen Gui was the one Su Jin named to train, so shopkeeper Zhang naturally followed Su Jin's wishes and gave him proper care.
"Young master, I have thought about it over and over again. There are currently three major things that are urgent for Cloth Shop. The top priority is to go to Jiangnan to replenish the supply of goods. Look at the ordering situation. The inventory is a bit lower than the boss. I am afraid that I will need to purchase a large amount of goods this time."
Su Jin asked: "How much goods does the old shopkeeper estimate he will buy this time?"
Shopkeeper Zhang stroked the beard on his chin and said: "This depends on the Shaodong family's estimation of the future situation. If it is calculated based on 500 pieces of clothing of each type, it would be necessary to purchase 100 pieces of each type, plus the different colors and types.
The difference is that we may need to purchase 1,500 pieces of cloth this time. This is the most high-end cloth that Su Ji has ever purchased."
Su Jin secretly calculated that 1,500 pieces of cloth seemed like a huge amount, but in fact, it could not be made into many pieces of clothing. One piece was four feet long, and one piece of cloth could be used to make four pieces of clothing. In fact, it was only 6,000 pieces of clothing.
This is not the data that Su Jin calculated in his mind.
Su Jin lowered his head and pondered for a moment and said: "Old shopkeeper, I think it needs to be doubled, at least three thousand horses this time."
Zhang Rongqin and Chen Gui both wanted to stuff eggs into their mouths. The appetite of the Shaodong family was so great that the cloth stores in Luzhou Prefecture did not store more than 1,500 pieces of cloth in their warehouses. The Shaodong family could eat it with just one mouthful.
Three thousand pieces are more than twice the entire inventory of high-quality fabrics in Luzhou. This risk may be too great.
Su Jin ignored their shocked expressions and continued to ask: "In the past, we bought high-quality fabrics in hundreds of pieces. I'm afraid the price cannot be discounted. This time we have to fight hard on the price."
Zhang Rongqin had not yet recovered from his surprise. Hot sweat was dripping from his forehead, and his voice sounded unnatural: "Going back to Shaodong's house, the price of silk and satin used to be five guans and six guans per piece, and brocade silk was eight guans per piece."
, Cotton Sanguan, if we purchase such a large quantity, the price can be conservatively estimated to be reduced by 20%."
Su Jin opened his eyes wide and said, "Can the price be reduced by 20%? This is good news."
Zhang Rongqin took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat on his forehead, nodded and said: "At least 20%, but the young master really decides to buy 3,000 horses? This trip plus the boat fee will cost tens of thousands of dollars. The master should think twice.
, if there is a slight mistake, Su Ji may be in crisis."
Su Jin carefully thought about his arrangement. Every step of the arrangement made him confident. Moreover, the momentum was created. There was no turning back when he opened his bow. There was a mountain of swords and a sea of fire ahead of him and he was about to rush forward.
"Don't worry, old shopkeeper. I'll do everything as I say. It's just that the purchase amount this time is huge, so I'm afraid you will have to do the hard work yourself."
Seeing Su Jin's confidence, Zhang Rongqin didn't know what to say. The Shaodong family's methods were unpredictable and beyond his comprehension. Even though Su Jin explained to him that "you must first take advantage of someone" and "from frugality to luxury"
He also understood the truth that it is easy to go from extravagance to frugality, but it was the first time in his business career that a single purchase cost tens of thousands of yuan.
"Young master, I don't need to ask you to tell me. I have to make this trip myself. I have a few old friends in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. I want to have a good chat with them this time."
"That's very good, hardworking old shopkeeper, but how are you going to carry these ten thousand guan of money and things? Is it possible to bring a few carts to pull it?" Su Jin's scalp went numb when he thought of the mountainous pile of 10,000 guan of copper coins. In this era
It’s so fucking depressing. I can’t take the money with me. It’s such a worry and happiness.
Chen Gui interjected: "It's better to ask the escort agency to escort it. Ten thousand guan will only cost two or three hundred guan to escort it. Safety can be guaranteed. The old shopkeeper only needs to take two assistants to run errands with him."
Zhang Rongqin nodded and said: "Yes, that's exactly what is needed. Young people still have the brainpower."
Su Jin also looked at Chen Gui with approval. Naturally, only Chen Gui and Zhang Rongqin could come up with this method. He couldn't even remember that there was such a thing as an escort agency.
"The second thing is something that the young master mentioned just now. It is also related to the first thing. The warehouse of my cloth village is too small. After the young master moved the accounting room to the inner room, it took up a large area. I was about to follow
The owner discussed renting out the front door and the back house next door, so that he could expand the store and move part of the garment shop into the store, so that he could sell cloth and make clothes together, and reduce the need to buy Su Ji's cloth and have to go to another tailor shop to cut it.
Something happened, and it can be used as a warehouse later. It kills two birds with one stone. What do you think, Young Master?"
Shopkeeper Zhang is worthy of being a veteran in the business world, and he considers problems very thoughtfully. In the past, cloth shops and garment shops operated independently, so it was naturally difficult to mention these things, but now, Su Jin is committed to linking cloth shops and garment shops.
Seeing that the direction of business is to sell finished clothes, it is logical to put forward this suggestion.
Su Jinxin said: You said you could kill two birds with one stone. Wouldn't it be doubly stupid if I didn't agree?
Originally this was a good thing, how could Su Jin not see this, so he nodded and said: "Very good, Chen Gui will take care of this matter, and hurry up. After renting it, he will quickly renovate the front door and use it as a North Street ready-to-wear store."
I will go to Shopkeeper Zhao to discuss this matter with him later, and the account will be paid by the clothing store."
Chen Gui bowed his head and agreed that it would not be difficult. Next door was a half-dead pancake shop. The owner and his wife were very lazy and had long been half-opened. Someone wanted to rent his shop and they were afraid that they would die from happiness.
"The third thing is also a matter of spending money. I'm afraid the Young Master still needs to hire some manpower. The manpower in the store can be hired by recruiting apprentices. It doesn't cost much. They will take care of food and drink. They will be given a three- to five-pound meal during the New Year.
They can be used to help the guests take care of the mule carts, pour tea and water on weekdays, which is consistent with the Shaodong family's idea of making guests feel at home. In addition, there are warehouse guards at night. Tens of thousands of goods are piled in the warehouse, which is fire-proof.
Preventing theft requires dedicated personnel. Although our Luzhou Prefecture has always been peaceful, we must be prepared for a rainy day."
Having said this, Mr. Zhang, the shopkeeper, lowered his voice and came over and said: "Young master, please forgive me for speaking frankly, but the other big families in Luzhou Prefecture are not good people. When the master was still alive, there were several cases of arson in the middle of the night, and the losses were quite considerable.
, the report was reported to the government and nothing happened. In the past, there were only a hundred and ten bolts of silk in the warehouse, and the rest were cotton and linen goods, so the loss was bearable. This time, there were three thousand bolts of good material. If the loopholes were taken advantage of by bad guys,
The consequences would be disastrous."
Su Jin's head has grown so big that he can't escape this security problem no matter where he goes. There will always be conflicts in this society. He can fully imagine that once he successfully monopolizes the high-end garment market in Luzhou Prefecture, anything can happen.
, he must not be negligent in this regard.
"The old shopkeeper is reminding me very much. If you don't bring it up, I'm afraid I will get into trouble with this matter. I will start to deal with it. Is there anything else you want to remind me? Su Jin is just starting out, there are many
I only know a little bit about everything, so I ask the old shopkeeper to remind me from time to time." Su Jin said from the bottom of his heart. It was a wise decision to ask the old shopkeeper to come out this time. Having an old man in the family is like having a treasure. The old shopkeeper has rich social experience, experience in the mall and
He also has a wide network of contacts, and what is commendable is that he is broad-minded and upright. Even though he fired his only son, he did not complain at all and was still loyal to the Su family.
Zhang Rongqin chuckled and said: "Young master's family has met with an outsider. Three generations of my Zhang family have served Su Ji, and we have shared the honor and disgrace. When my master was about to leave, he summoned a few old people to entrust Su Ji to us. As long as Su Ji needs my old bones,
Even if I crawl, I will try my best to crawl."
Su Jin felt excited and almost shed tears when she grabbed Zhang Rongqin's hands. This kind of loyal relationship was almost unimaginable in later generations. In later generations, big companies and groups would poach people and change jobs, seeing off the old and welcoming the new.
Those who have worked in commercial or industrial enterprises for more than ten years are rare animals. He can't imagine what it is like for three generations of the Zhang family to work for the three generations of Su Ji. But one thing is certain, it is definitely not the attraction of money. Money alone cannot build a relationship.
Such a strong relationship.
Zhang Rongqin patted Su Jin's hand, and the mist in Su Jin's eyes moved him deeply.
"It's bad luck, I'm blinded," Su Jin said, and the old shopkeeper and Chen Gui, who were moved, rolled their eyes.
Su Jin took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to shopkeeper Zhang and stood up and said: "That's it. You contact the escort agency and come to my house early tomorrow morning to collect the money and set off. The store must be cleaned today. Then
Chen Gui needs to take care of a few things as soon as possible."
Zhang Rongqin and Chen Gui hurriedly stood up and agreed repeatedly. Su Jin called Xiao Zhuzhu to report a bundle of scrolls in the car and piled them on the table: "These are the renderings of clothes I asked someone to draw. After the walls are cleaned, the interior and exterior of the store will be painted."
They are all posted up. Use movable brackets to support the wooden boards outside to make them easier to move and prevent rain. I will go to the clothing store to talk to shopkeeper Zhao about the matter, so you don’t need to send them away."
After saying that, he got on the cart, raised his whip, and drove the mule cart straight to the Sanli River on South Street.
The two shopkeepers, an old man and a young man, stood at the entrance of Suji Cloth Shop and watched the mule cart go away. Then they looked at each other and saw something unusual in each other's eyes.
Zhang Rongqin returned to the shop and unfolded the piece of paper Su Jin handed him. His eyes suddenly turned red. The paper read: Mr. Zhang Deli is hereby appointed as the Master of Luxi Manor of Su Mansion in Luzhou Prefecture. The size of the manor is large and small.
Affairs can be handled as appropriate, the employment period is unlimited, and the monthly salary is eight yuan, which will be increased year by year. There is Su Jin's signature and seal on the back.dd
