I wonder what the cost is? Right now, the first batch of goods are all Yiwu small commodities taken from Fengcheng wheel boxes, and the following ones are things manufactured in batches by the crossing industry. [No pop-up novel website].--The cost is almost negligible. The only thing he feels uncomfortable about is that it is too slow to withdraw funds. According to this settlement method, the goods released during the New Year cannot be settled until May. Now their funds are drawn from the 200,000 yuan owed to them by Gao Li. Yes, this money will not only be used to pay for the opening of the Guangzhou advance station, but also to pay for the large quantities of materials purchased here. Too slow a return is bad for them.
But there is no need to tell Shen Fan at this level, he just nodded: "You are right, if there are so many customers operating at the same time, the capital will be stretched. So I have some other ideas."
"Please tell me, proprietor."
"Are the jewelry and toys in Guangzhou colluding with each other?"
"Of course." Shen Fan thought that this was a very common phenomenon. There were so many rare treasures in the world, and not every store had a complete range of them. No matter how big a store was, you had to go to the guild to find the goods.
"So for some goods, we can leave them to our peers." Guo Yi said, "If there is a cross-selling of goods among peers, do we still need to settle accounts in three quarters?"
"It's not necessary. The local rules are strict. If you don't regret it after three days, you will have to settle the bill." Shopkeeper Shen has roughly made it clear what he means: "Does the proprietor mean approval?"
"Not bad," Guo Yi nodded.
"That's good. Although you will make less money from cross-selling goods, you will get back the real money quickly. However," Shen Fan was slightly worried, "Does Zizhen have so much goods to put away? Now the Gao family has already approved crystal mirrors in the market."
"What does the crystal mirror mean?" Yi said in a very relaxed tone, "If Gao Zhang likes to sell it, let him sell it. I have better things here."
Shopkeeper Shen was shocked. What did Jingjing think? He knew that a few days ago, there was a meeting between jewelry peers at the Fire Temple. The most common black crystal mirror released by the Gao family has been sold for one hundred taels, and the retail price is as high as one hundred and eighty taels. Such a mirror. Lifting it high once can release about five to ten sides. Completely in short supply. The proprietor actually said lightly, "What does it matter?" "There are better things." What could be better?
"Excuse me, proprietor. What kind of treasures does Zizhendi plan to sell?" Shopkeeper Shen couldn't help but ask after being curious for a long time.
Guo Yi didn't answer. He opened the curtain behind him. A huge standing cabinet was revealed.
This cabinet made Shopkeeper Shen take a breath: except for the bracket. The outer walls, doors, and partitions of the cabinet are all made of full glass!
Glass. Shen Fan has seen a lot of basically all kinds of glass devices. Like this crystal clear. The whole glass pane is ignored as if it were nothing. He had never seen it. Use this lot of glass to make a big cabinet. This courage, this method. He couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration in his heart.
"Dongdongzhu" even stuttered when he spoke. "Is this one made of glass?"
"Of course." Guo Yi was very satisfied with Shen Fan's performance, "Shopkeeper Shen, don't you want to buy caskets for pearls and not even look at the items inside?"
"Yes! Yes!" Shen Fan moved forward excitedly. It turned out that this was a sample display cabinet. There were four of them dismantled from Fengcheng Wheel. Except for the shelf, which was newly made of rosewood, the old glass was made of Sanded from scratch with fine quartz sand and felt. According to the standards of the 21st century, the transparency is actually average, but this time and space is amazing.
What first caught his attention were the rows of pearl necklaces, bracelets and rings. The beads were not only large in size, but also round in shape. They were all rare and rare. There were also rare pink pearls. Shen Fan estimated that if these beads were sold separately, the largest one could be sold for several hundred taels, and the smallest one could be sold for three or four taels.
There are all kinds of small powder boxes, some are made of wood, some are carved from bamboo, some are tortoiseshell, some are inlaid with gold and silver, and there are all kinds of different materials. This itself is not rare, but there is a small crystal mirror inlaid on the inside of each powder box. . Although it is small, it is still a crystal mirror.
Rows of glassware, a dazzling array of glass cups, dishes, wine vessels, and even tea sets, each one is crystal clear.
"Are these enough?"
"Enough! Enough! Enough." Shen Fan was very clear in his heart. The treasures of Australian maritime merchants were all found in glass. Glass is not a rare item in Guangzhou, but their products are many times more sophisticated than others. Whether it's a red-haired thing or a Frankie thing, it's just a matter of clouds and mud.
"Shopkeeper Shen, these are just some of the objects." Guo Yi turned around and pulled the curtain again, "Of course there will be new ones in the future." Then he took out a white paper pad, "Just take a look. "
Shen Fan opened it and saw that the snow-white paper was outlined with black patterns, all of which were decorations. The style is extremely unique. He has been in the jewelry business for many years and has seen countless kinds of jewelry. He has also encountered some skilled craftsmen with this style.
Saw it. If you look closely, the styles may be simple and elegant, or gorgeous and smart.
It's not something that ordinary craftsmen can make.
"This is" Shen Fan asked with an inquiring look.
"This is a painting by Yan Maoda." Guo Yi said, "I am going to make a batch for Miss Pei Lixiu of Ziminglou. Do you have any craftsmen available who can do this?"
Fan replied without hesitation that in general, master craftsmen in the jewelry industry are specially maintained in each shop and can easily be found outside. However, he is well-informed and knows that a Bao Hengxiang store was closed down a year ago and that there are many people inside. The craftsmen and workers who came out now have no jobs.
"Okay, then it's up to you to recruit them all." Guo Yi thought for a while, "As long as the guys inside are of reliable character, they can be used. The treatment will be based on their past standards."
"Proprietor, we Zizhen now have a shop, and now we have two young men. Isn't it too many people to come in?
"Not many. I will have a business to start in the future, so I will keep people like this for now. Aren't they just more people who can eat?" Guo Yi thinks that I will have more businesses to do in the future, so why don't I reserve all the professionals now? Get up, it will be useless by then. In ancient times, the flow of talent was no faster than it is now. People with some skills would work in the same shop for the rest of their lives unless something unexpected happened. Unless you are recruiting apprentices and laborers, it is difficult to recruit available people at any time.
"The proprietor's vision!"
"Find some masons to come tomorrow and prepare for new work."
"Proprietor, it's about building a house, but what's the use of building a house?" According to Shen Fan, Zizhen's house is enough, and building another house is unnecessary. "
"I want to build a workshop." Guo Yi said.
"Build a workshop?" Shen Fan's heart moved and he lowered his voice and asked, "Does the proprietor want to make crystal mirrors here?"
Before Guo Yi could speak, Shen Fan shook his head: "You can't do it in the east. If you open a crystal mirror workshop in Guangzhou, there will be many wealthy people connected with the government here. You are also a foreigner. Maybe someone wants to get it. This secret method secretly framed the proprietor. The common man is not guilty, but he is guilty of having a jade in his possession."
Guo Yi nodded. He was very moved by the simplicity of this time and space person: "Nothing!" He said firmly to reassure him, "How to make a crystal mirror is a secret even in our country. How can I make it?" He told Shen Fan his plan to transport the blanks for local processing, "Is this possible?"
"This is enough." Shen Fan felt relieved. If he just brought the blank of the crystal mirror and added an outer frame, it would be essentially the same as a completely foreign one. Naturally, there would be no trouble.
"There are also guys. There should be a lot of unemployed guys and craftsmen in the city now. Go out and look out for more. As long as they are honest and responsible, they will be willing to come."
"This?" Shen Fan was hesitant, "Proprietor, as the saying goes, a line is like a mountain, but it's okay for the man to say, we don't need a craftsman, why should we ask him to do it?"
"Shopkeeper Shen, do you think you are just Zizhen's shopkeeper?"
Shen Fan was puzzled: "Proprietor"
"We traveled thousands of miles across the ocean in Australia, not just to sell a few pieces of jewelry and glassware." Guo Yi tried his best to look like a "king", "You are the general manager of Zishi Enterprise Group ! No! Big shopkeeper!"
Shen Fan listened to his nonsense in confusion. Although he didn't fully understand what an enterprise group, general manager and the like were, he still understood the term "big manager". It seemed that his boss wanted to do other business.
"Well, proprietor, I only know how to sell jewelry. If you want to open other businesses, you have to hire another shopkeeper."
"You are the big manager, so the boss will naturally do the specific things." Guo Yi thinks that Shen Fan is a suitable candidate. First, Shen Fan has received great favor from them, and the disease is difficult to eradicate, and now they only have it in their hands. There is quinine. Second, Shen Fan is an old man in Guangzhou. The particularity of the jewelry industry makes him familiar with people from all walks of life. It is very convenient for him to inquire about information or do things. Thirdly, since he can work in the jewelry industry for a lifetime, there must be no problem with his professional ethics.
"Thank you, Master Dong, for training."
"Let's find some winemakers in the next few days."
"Do you want to open a wine shop?" Shopkeeper Shen asked, "There is no good water here."
"It doesn't matter." Guo Yi thought that I had no intention of making wine from grain. "Is there a shop selling local roast in Guangzhou?"
"Yes, there are some in the city, and there are also many wineries in the countryside."
"Go and discuss the price and prepare to purchase in large quantities."
Shopkeeper Shen will no longer be surprised by what he says to the boss, "Does the guy who makes money by making wine want to buy it?"
"No need to buy it." Guo Yi was very enthusiastic about the marketing plan of that famous brand liquor. He received a telegram: The glass wine bottle, a key part of the plan to repackage old wine in new bottles, had been successfully trial-produced in Lingao.
