MTL - Rebirth Married The Control Group Fulang-Chapter 74

Xu He hadn't been to a store in the city for a long time, and when he came over, he found that there was a lot of goods in the warehouse, and the warehouse was already full.

He looked through the accounts in the shop again. These days, the door-to-door openings compete for business, and the income from single sales is not as good as before, but the total income in the pocket is far greater than in the past.

At present, five shops in the city have come to pick up the goods, and they have made nearly two hundred taels of silver after these few transactions.

Xu He sighed, in fact, the goods that he came to get, such as tooth brushes and tooth powder, were not too much, and they could not make a lot of money. The most important thing was that they had not sold them on the market yet, and even their own shop hadn't started to stock new ones yet. .

"So why sell it to those who came to order, why not sell it yourself first to make a profit."

After Xu He watched Zhang Fangyuan distribute the several boxes of new goods brought today to the guys who came to pick them up, he was a little puzzled.

"I've already calculated this account. Although this family alone can indeed earn some money, the current situation is that it can only earn exclusive money for a short period of time. The important thing is how to maximize the profit during this short period of time."

Zhang Fangyuan said: "The Xue family has their own supply. Seeing the new products in our shop, why don't you come and learn from them? I'm afraid they will follow the new products in two months."

"If we sell it in pieces, we won't be able to sell much in a month or two. It's better to sell directly to the shops that come to order, so that we can sell a lot at one time, and let those merchants only get goods from us. .”

Zhang Fangyuan went forward, whispered in Xu He's ear for a while, and finally said: "Just watch how the surname Xue jumps."

Holding the account book, Xu He smiled from the corner of his eyes. He felt that this person was too bad, and he was trying to trap others every step of the way. My own trip was superfluous, so I didn't worry about it.

As expected by Zhang Fangyuan, in the morning they came to supply merchants with new products, and in the afternoon Xue De invited merchants in the city to discuss that they would also supply goods to others.

"Boss Xue, I am actually very happy with this business, but now there are so many shops in the city selling this thing, you also know that rare things are expensive, and now they are all over the streets, I don't think I can make any money." Big money."

"Thank you, Boss Xue, for inviting me. The competition for brushing teeth is getting bigger now. It's better for us to stick to our own business."

Xue De successively invited three or four people who had some business contacts in the past to discuss business, but he never thought that none of them would be willing to join.

He sighed, brushing teeth is not like a restaurant, there are businesses all over the streets and alleys, this pancake is only that big, more people eat it, not to mention that the number of hands will decrease, and the later ones will even be divided less than.

These old foxes in the city are not fools.

"It's hard to get the shipping price from the other side, so it's a waste of inquiry."

Xue De glared at the servant, and didn't give up because of a little frustration: "How can you inquire for nothing! Since the rest of the people refuse to join, then there are still merchants who have already joined? Since they start this business, they will always come again." Want goods."

He let out a breath: "It's a big deal that our shop earns less, and the price is lower than that of Linglong's shop. I still don't believe that they will come to me to buy goods without envy."

A businessman only seeks profit, and his loyalty can only change according to his needs.

"Go, invite the merchants who have already shipped."

Xue De made every effort to attract people with the low price as an inducement.

"Boss Xue gave us a good price, so we can say it. To be honest, I also think the price of Linglong Shop is a bit high, but Boss Xue is quite sincere."

Xue De said with a smile when he heard the words: "You can do business for a long time only by participating in grand events."

"It's easy to say, easy to say, other humble people don't care much, but Boss Xue only gave the price of toothbrushes and tooth powder. I don't know how to calculate the price of new products?"

Xue De didn't understand, so he asked, "New product?"

Seeing Xue De's expression, the merchant felt that this trip might be wasted, but he still said patiently: "Nowadays, several streets are selling teeth brushes. If there are no new products, how can we compete with others? Brushing teeth is not as good as It was so easy to sell in the past, and the only way to make money is to rely on new products."

He didn't say anything very straightforward about the fact that Xue De didn't have any new products, so the merchant got up and said, "If Boss Xue has no plans to launch new products, then I will leave."

Xue De hurriedly pulled people back: "Even if there is no new product, you can get toothbrush and tooth powder from here at a low price."

But the merchant waved his hand: "The owner of Linglong Shop said early on that if you want to get new products from their shop, you must also get second-hand products from their shop, otherwise they won't provide new products."

Seeing the servants of the Xue family coming to the door confidently, he thought that there was also a new product here, but it turned out that the trip was really in vain.

Xue De looked at the merchant who was leaving with his hands up, his face turned ashen, and his clenched fists hammered the table loudly.

"The shop is just across the street, so you can't figure it out!"

The servant was scolded, and when he went to inquire about it, he was surprised why the price of Linglong shop's tooth powder was so high, and he thought it was expensive tooth powder from another shop, but he didn't know that there was a new product, and he blamed himself for not inquiring in a hurry Understood, he hurriedly went to follow up again.

There was no movement in Linglong shop in the morning, when a string of firecrackers sounded, the people in the neighborhood knew that there was a new product in Linglong shop, and they all went to see what was new.

"This is a new product in our store. Like the previous tooth powder, it also has the effect of cleaning teeth. However, compared with the phenomenon that the tooth powder is easy to fall off when dipped in the previous tooth powder, the new product on our store this time is in the form of a paste. When you use it, it can stick to the bristles of your teeth, and it won’t fall off again.”

With his stomach full, Xu He never went to promote and explain the new products with Zhang Fangyuan. He sat in front of the counter to collect the money, only watching the people taking the toothpaste to show the visitors how to use it, and staring at the situation on the other side of the quilt.

"It's a herbal fragrance, which smells better than tooth powder."

The visitors were so curious, they rushed to try the toothpaste and smell its fragrance.

"Boss, how much is this?"

"Toothpaste is two hundred yuan each."

Although it is a new product, the business in the shop is still not as good as when it was at its peak in the past. The reason is that there are more shops in the city, and they all sell this toothpaste. Naturally, it is not as big as the previous one. The money they can earn now is The people in the alleys around the shop, like the people in the west and south of the city, will naturally not come all the way to buy here, they can buy it nearby.

But everything is not absolute, there are still people who recognize the old shop and will come here from all the way to see it.

Xu He thought that although he was no longer the only one, he made more money as a supplier than before. Now they not only squeezed out the business from the opposite door, but they still made money. His boss stood in front of the gate with a dark face, and Xu He felt a burst of joy in his heart.

It should be good to deal with these unreasonable business snatchers. Wouldn’t it be safe to drive elsewhere? It’s disgusting to have to open the opposite door. He couldn’t deal with the business snatchers when he sold pigs into the water before. After such a long time, it can be regarded as a bad breath.

"Master, with so many shops opened in the city, the flow of customers is not as good as before. There are already three shops selling teeth brushes on our street, including the one at the corner. The price has been lowered a bit, and it is now on par with our shop. They mainly sell new products, but our shop does not have any, so there is no business."

"You don't need to say, I can't see it!"

Xue De didn't give up. It was a waste of effort and a lot of money to search for supplies for several months. There was still a pile of stock in the warehouse. How could he be reconciled to seeing that the money hadn't been made yet and he started a cold stove.

The matter has come to this point, since the supply can't get through, then the only option is to fight with Linglongpu. He can produce new products, so why can't he produce them himself.

Xue De put the new product bought from the shop on the table: "Send this new product to the pharmacy, let them see how it is made, and we will produce it after quoting the price."

After bumping into obstacles again and again, Xue De's confidence also diminished, and he went to his hall that provided tooth powder to talk about the final way out.

Fortunately, the people in Tangzi saw that toothpaste is not a rare treasure. The mulberry branches of pagoda tree are mixed with **** juice and asarum, and there is white shellfish powder. It only needs to keep trying and researching.

Xue De was relieved, and let the people in Tangzi do the research. He watched the shops selling new products in the city making money every day like sitting on pins and needles.

After waiting for half a month, it was hard to see hope this morning. Xue De sent people to prepare for mass production without stopping. After a busy work, he found that the raw materials for making toothpaste in the city were almost bought out, and Zhang Fangyuan asked Zhang Fangyuan to buy them all. They stockpiled goods and made a large amount of toothpaste to supply merchants in the city. It will be next spring to replenish this end.

Other small shops can also make up some here and there, but the owner buys the west store to fill the vacancy, so it is not easy to negotiate the price, and the cost soars.

If it would be more beneficial to wait for the replenishment from the lobby, but with the production period added, the new products might not be available until March next year.

At that time, the freshness of the things would have sold out long ago, and he would still make a lot of money. However, if you scrape together to buy raw materials and wait for a period of time for the construction, it will almost be the Chinese New Year. If the cost is high, how much profit will you have?

Xue De was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He thought that Dao was one foot tall, but he never thought that the devil was one foot tall.

He wondered that Zhang Fangyuan had long expected that one day there would be people in the city who would open their doors to **** business. For this reason, he stocked up enough goods early, prepared new products to attract people's bait, and even bought out raw materials for those who wanted to share profits. Merchants are behind.

With enough time, he has already made a lot of money.

It was too late when Xue De thought about it.

No matter how hard this day is, it is impossible to catch the wind and make this money. I thought it was a huge profit, but now it has turned into a waste of money.

In the end, he had no choice but to sell out the stock in a bitter haha, find some peddlers to sell, and return to his old business in a down-to-earth manner, but he agreed with Tangzi Carpenter and other series of suppliers that it was a long-term business and got a low price, but now he suddenly quit. , Word of mouth lost not to mention, but also lost some money.

For a while, it became the joke of the merchants in Tianjie after dinner, and they really lost all their old face, and even the business of Daibuzhuang was not as good as before.

What regrets is that his intestines are turning green, but he can only watch Linglong shop sitting at the cash register.

After this incident, the merchants who watched the excitement in the city looked at Zhang Fangyuan with admiration. He was a small merchant who had never paid attention to him.

Inviting tea today and drinking wine tomorrow, Zhang Fangyuan didn't slap anyone face, he was invited one by one, not to discuss business, but some merchants gathered together to talk, talk about what they saw and heard, like In which city or county did something new come out, and where to buy colored glaze and jadeite is better.

Although they were just chatting, they were able to learn a lot of the latest news. Zhang Fangyuan had never had such close contact with businessmen before, and he didn't know much about many places. This time is also a surprise. It will be more convenient to do business in the future if you break into the interior and get acquainted.

After drinking for three rounds, the merchant's cheeks turned red.

"I heard that Xue De sold his teeth brushing goods to Fucheng."

"It's almost Chinese New Year and the business tax is so high, he really doesn't want to make money, he just wants to throw out the hot potato."

"The goods have come out. Some new cloths have been brought in from Fucheng. When they were transported back to Siyang, it was unlucky that they met some **** on the way back to the county, and ruined all his goods."

The merchants at a table laughed: "He never checked the almanac when he went out. How could he be so unlucky that he was scolded by bastards. Didn't he invite some good people to accompany him when he went to deliver the goods?"

"First, a bunch of people were invited to stay idle in the shop. Now I thought that there were many people on the road of the Chinese New Year official. I lost money in my previous business, so I didn't go to the **** agency to hire people. How could I know it was so unfortunate."

"This thing is to buy insurance. It's not always bad luck, but once you don't buy it, you will definitely suffer. You should be more cautious when shipping goods in the future, don't save that little money, you can't tell So much will be lost." The merchant raised his wine glass and touched Zhang Fangyuan, who had never spoken and only listened to the laughter of everyone: "Boss Zhang, do you think so?"

"What Boss Wu said is true."

"Xue De is reaping the consequences of himself. He wanted to bully the newcomer, but he never thought of getting a shrewd person like Boss Zhang. I'm afraid he's going to get angry."

Zhang Fangyuan held the wine glass and drank it slowly, his eyes were full of light, but he pretended not to be very clear: "I only know that Boss Xue is traveling far away, I thought it was to ship goods in other places, I never thought that my luck would be so bad. "

"Hahahahaha, that's what God wants to accept him."

Zhang Fangyuan smiled but did not answer, he glanced at the sky outside the window, it was a gray winter day, and today was also the first time that the sun showed some sunlight, falling in front of the window was particularly bright.

At first it was difficult for Zhang Fangyuan to mess with him because he was on the cusp of the storm, but now that it's quiet, if he doesn't clean up, he won't be able to form a deep memory.

If Xue De knew, he, Zhang Fangyuan, was not only a businessman, but also a hooligan in his bones, he would not allow himself to be bullied and swallow his anger.

After entering the twelfth lunar month, the city is getting more and more lively. One day is approaching the Chinese New Year, and the weather has reached the coldest time.

There were even a few flakes of snow that day, and all the people in the city huddled up and walked back and forth quickly. The warm-up haggis soup in the small restaurant was very good, and it was fifteen cents a piece. Most of the warmth was eaten day.

Zhang Fangyuan also went to ask for one, and the taste was not only a little bit worse than Xu He's, but he still ate clean after spending the money.

The shopkeepers in the cold market were all looking for something to do to warm up. When he returned to the shop, he saw that many shops had begun to hang red lanterns, and there were more than one style.

Fangsheng lamps, umbrella lamps, four-corner flat head lamps, etc. There are more trees hanging at the door.

One or two households have not yet had any color when they are hung up, and the whole street looks like it is decorated with flowers when every household is hung up. The weather seems to be less cold under the background of red lanterns.

Zhang Fangyuan also bought a few lanterns from the lantern shop in Tianjie to decorate the shop, and took a few home with him.

His clumsy hanging lanterns didn’t look good, so he had to make do with it, so he couldn’t ask his husband to come to work, not to mention that the delivery date was getting closer, and he couldn’t jolt out of the village. He may not come even if he is called, he is a treasure of his chickens and ducks.

The first batch of chicks and ducklings Xu He hatched and thirty of them came out, but the weather was cold ahead, and he ran into the city for a few days, failed to take care of these little things, and ended up breaking three of them. Chao put all his thoughts on cooking here.

The yellow fluff of the little duck that has grown up is fluffy and soft, and it is very cheerful in the room where the charcoal basin is lit.

Xu He took advantage of this to hatch the remaining 30 eggs.

Every day Xiaomao and Xiao'e would go straight to this end after school, just to see these chicks and ducklings, they liked it very much.

The two children haven't come yet, but Zhang Fangyuan came back first.

The carriage rushed to the yard, and Zhang Fangyuan took a few red lanterns out of the carriage.

"These lanterns are so beautiful." Xu He liked them after just one glance.

"Lanterns are hung everywhere in the city. There are many kinds of lanterns in the lantern shop for Chinese New Year, and they are so cheap to buy. I brought a few back."

Xu He said: "Keep two at home, let's take the rest to the tea shed, and decorate the other side as well, so it looks like Chinese New Year."

Zhang Fangyuan slapped his forehead, he went to the other end before he came back, his second aunt and fourth aunt cleaned the end very clean, and even pasted the window grilles, unexpectedly, he did not expect to leave two of them there head, trying to bring it back to Xu He.

"It's okay, I'll take it with me tomorrow."

Zhang Fangyuan went to the hut to take a look at the ducklings. There were too many poultry. One pulled a little, and dozens of them were terrible. In the blink of an eye, the ground was covered with feces, and the smell was also strong, but farmers have never been afraid of the smell of feces. .

Many people have to save up and use it to grow vegetables and fertilize the land.

The smell is not strong in winter now, and Xu He cleans twice a day, so the house is not bad.

Xu He also collected the excrement in his own vegetable field, and it will definitely be a fertilizer for growing vegetables next year.

Zhang Fangyuan stood at the door for a while, staring at the chicken coops in a daze. Xu He chopped up the vegetable leaves, mixed a little bran powder and corn flour, and fed them to the ducks. Seeing that he didn't go in, he asked, "Why?" Come on, don’t you think it’s dirty?”

"How could it be? Slaughtering pigs, shaving their fur and stuffing their large intestines didn't make them dirty. I just thought, now that I have money on hand, why don't I fix up the house."

At the mention of this, Xu He remembered the plan of Xia Shi and the two of them. Originally, they both wanted to build a green brick house, but in the end they decided to use the money to do business.

The fact is that Zhang Fangyuan's decision was right. With the principal of doing business, he has now made a lot of money.

Xu He put down the grain basin, cleaned his hands and went to the back room with Zhang Fangyuan. He took out the wooden box that contained the money from under the bed. The piggy bank that used to hold copper plates could no longer hold the silver and bank notes, so it was replaced by a box.

Ever since he married his daughter-in-law and handed over the property, Zhang Fangyuan never touched his savings box and piggy bank. This was the first time he saw Xu He move out.

"To this day, we have saved five hundred taels of silver. If you want to repair the house, I agree."

Zhang Fangyuan laughed, glanced at the white money and banknotes, and felt very at ease in his heart. The villagers knew that their family had made money in business, so they probably didn't expect to be so rich.

"Now we can build a bigger house. It's better to start construction earlier now. The wages for hiring labor are not high. It's not worthwhile to hire people when the farming season is busy."

Xu He took out one hundred and fifty taels to repair houses, which was enough to build a luxurious house.

Although it is still a family with a small family now, it is not allowed to slack off and spend money. One is to have enough money on hand when the business grows bigger, and the other is to save a fortune for the little things in the belly from time to time.

In this way, it is not too rich at hand.

Both of them knew it.

Now that he had made up his mind, Zhang Fangyuan hurriedly gathered together. The Chinese New Year is coming soon. Although he does not expect to build the house before the Chinese New Year, he hopes that it can be completed before the child is born, so that the child can live in a big house once he is born. .

Zhang Fangyuan first invited a Fengshui master to draw out the best location for Fengshui on his own land.

Then he asked someone to lay the foundation, but before he called for someone, the village saw that he asked Mr. Feng Shui to look at it, and asked him first.

Village households are extremely sensitive to these matters. It is not easy to find a job during the winter slack season. Naturally, they are always watching for any troubles, for fear of missing the opportunity to help.

Zhang Fangyuan also knew that it was impossible to hide the past, so he took this opportunity to recruit people. In fact, there are not many people. His fourth uncle is eager to come over to have fun. The two cousins ​​of the uncle's family came back for the New Year. They brought some things and came over to help.

"How can I keep my eldest brother and second brother busy? It's not easy to travel outside all year round. Let's take a good rest when we come back from the New Year."

Zhang Fangyuan doesn't want to invite the brothers of this sect, please trouble. But his two cousins ​​didn't give up. They insisted that they didn't take care of the brothers and sisters in the clan when they were away these years.

Zhang Fangyuan thought about his uncle's temperament of caring about every detail and refusing to suffer from his family's disadvantages, how could he be willing.

Although he is considered the most developed one in the Zongli now, and it is normal for the people in the Zongli to want to curry favor, he still feels unreliable.

The two cousins ​​saw that he was stubborn and refused to agree, and that after doing business, he was not as reckless as before. He was fast-paced and smooth-spoken. The two were not rivals, so they had no choice but to confess their real purpose.

"Ayuan is doing big business now, and your second brother and I are running outside, thinking that if we can get some good products from you next year, we will have a little hope for life."

Zhang Fangyuan's brows twitched, he could have said so earlier, it might be impossible for a shopkeeper to earn money for brushing his teeth in Siyang, but he can still earn money in other places.

Since he relied on his hands and feet for food, his two cousins ​​didn't offend him much, so Zhang Fangyuan still agreed. After all, they are relatives of his own family.

"However, the cost of this product is also high. Although it can be sold at a reasonable price for the elder brother and the second brother, it can make some money, but if you want more goods, you have to prepare money in advance, so that I can rush the goods. Now I want to repair The house, the money is spent on hand, there is no extra to pad."

The two understood what he meant, and they were worried that they would just take the goods and not pay, or that they would pay after the items were sold: "It's easy to say, we will prepare when we go back."

Zhang Fangyuan nodded. According to his uncle's temper, he had to guard against: "Then the elder brother and the second brother are ready to come and pick up the goods."

"to make."

In this way, there are three strong people on the side of building the house, and there is no need to invite too many people.

Zhang Fangyuan can only help occasionally. He has to look at the shops in the city, and he has to go to the kiln to choose bricks and tiles.

Although it costs a little more money, you can let go and do things.
