Chapter 363 Golden Flower
But Shen Zhiqiu told him very seriously: "We are fleeing from famine. I'm sure you know that, so we saw a lot of sufferings of the people along the way, so we wanted to make some good things that ordinary people can afford, whether it's shoe soles or hairpins, it's all for this purpose."
Zhou Qian vaguely felt that the person in front of him made him respect him, but his heart was a little complicated, and he couldn't help but complain in his heart:
"You are a bunch of refugees from famine. You have no food to eat, but you are thinking about the suffering of other people?"
But seeing the clarity in Shen Zhiqiu's eyes, he really admired him from the bottom of his heart.
Shen Zhiqiu looked at Zhou Qian's expression and understood his thoughts immediately, but he really didn't think that what he did was selfless.
Although the cost of plastic in this life is much higher than in the previous life after the development of technology, they do make a lot of money. There is really no need to rely on being the only one to sell at a higher price.
In his opinion, no matter what era it is, there are more people than ordinary people, and making small profits but quick turnover is not necessarily much less money than making money by being the only one.
Seeing that it was almost time, Old Lady Hua brought the remaining nine old ladies, wearing similar clothes, to the shop where they bought ready-made cloth yesterday.
This is what Shen Youyou said yesterday, saying that you can also look for clothing shops and rouge and powder shops to expand sales channels.
She encouraged the other old sisters: "Stand up straight, don't shrink your neck and show your cowardice, what we wear is no worse than others.
Don't wrinkle your old face. When people look at us, just smile calmly. Is it okay to smile without showing your teeth?
Oh, Miss Zhou, your expression is not good. It feels more painful to laugh than to cry. Go back and get a basin of water and practice facing the water more.
Look at Lao Fang's expression. It's very natural. When people see you smile at them, they are willing to sell you things.
Also, no matter where we go in the future, we must use our spirit and spirit to tell them that we are confident.
Yes, that's it, keep going, follow me in."
Ten old ladies, wearing almost identical clothes and the hairpins on their heads were all blue and white porcelain in color, but with different patterns, walked into the cloth shop with their heads held high.
"Boss, business is booming today!"
Old Mrs. Hua bought a lot of cloth two days ago. She came again now, smiling and wishing him a prosperous business.
The shopkeeper immediately put on a smiling face, came out from the counter, clasped his fists and said, "Thank you for your good words. What do the old ladies want to see?"
In particular, the shopkeeper noticed that the cloth the old lady sold was made into clothes based on the set of clothes she had bought before.
I don't know where so many old ladies came from. They all look similar and have a weird look. They must be hundreds of years old in total.
The first time Old Lady Hua came, it was Shen Youyou who brought her here. Shen Youyou bought a lot of cloth from their shop on her first visit. Although she didn't buy as much the second time, she still spent a lot of money, after all, they were all fine cotton cloth.
Mrs. Hua was quite calm. She said, "I'm not going to look at the cloth today. I'm going to show you something."
The shopkeeper was slightly stunned, but after all, he had been a shopkeeper for so many years, so although he was surprised, he did not show it too much: "I wonder what you want to show me?"
It was then that Old Lady Hua took the package from her sister-in-law Cui Fen'er and opened it on the counter: "Boss, I saw that the clothes in your shop were really nice, but they lacked some embellishments. How about these hairpins of mine?"
The cloth shop had just opened and there were no other customers, so the owner had time to deal with Old Lady Hua and the others.
Originally, the shopkeeper was only planning to deal with the situation because they had bought a lot of cloth before, but when he really saw the hairpin in the package, he had to say that his eyes lit up.
However, when he checked the hairpin, he was extremely cautious. After all, he thought the hairpin looked like it was made of glass.
But he also remembered that when Shen Youyou came for the first time, and when the old lady and her friends came the day before, they were not dressed like those who could sell glass. Besides, his shop really could not accommodate glass jewelry.
After checking a few of them, he gently put them down and stood far away, as if he was afraid of being cheated, and said, "Sir, our cloth shop is just a small store, and we can't afford these expensive jewelry."
Old Lady Hua looked a little strange. After all, she didn't know that plastic looked like glass. She said, "I haven't told you the price yet. How do you know you can't afford it? Our jewelry is cheap, much cheaper than your cloth."
Obviously, the shopkeeper didn't believe it, and even thought that these jewelries couldn't really be of illegal origin. They didn't seem to know the value of these jewelries.
Fortunately, Grandma Hua was puzzled. Why was the way she sold hairpins different from the way her granddaughter sold hairpins? When her granddaughter was selling hairpins, people crowded over to watch, but when she was selling hairpins, the shopkeeper didn't want to buy anything and even wanted to push the hairpins away?
This won't do. Although she maintained a calm expression on her face, she was actually getting a little anxious inside.
"Shopkeeper, take a look at this hairpin. We made it ourselves. The ones with small flowers are fifty coins each, and the ones with big flowers are difficult to make are one hundred coins or one hundred and fifty coins. If you think this is too expensive,
These plain hairpins and small flower hairpins cost five or ten cents. How can they be expensive? Look at this bracelet, it’s only twenty cents, and the ring is five cents. They can’t even buy one foot of your cloth.”
The shopkeeper looked suspicious: "It doesn't look like it's made of glass at this price. What material is this hairpin made of?"
Old Lady Hua now understood. She had heard Zhou Qian mention the word "glass". She didn't know what it was, but it sounded very expensive.
This shopkeeper obviously misunderstood.
She waved her hand and said, "This is plastic. I researched the material myself. It's very strong."
Thinking about what Shen Youyou said yesterday, he followed the instructions of the shopkeeper and even took the hairpin that Shen Youyou had used in the experiment and couldn't sell, and performed an experiment on him on the spot, and told him:
"When you sell them, you can also break one to show others. By the way, if you do it for others to see, I can give you one for free."
Although the old lady didn't learn many terms and couldn't use fancy words to sell things, she was very enthusiastic.
The cloth shop owner knew that he had misunderstood, and the price was good, so he was really tempted. However, as the saying goes, there is no business without fraud, and he also saw that Mrs. Hua might have never done business before, so he thought about bargaining:
"Ah? That's great, but the price is a bit high. We are just a small business. Do you think the price is right?"
In fact, if it were someone else, they might really give it a bargain, but for these stingy old ladies, it really can't be discounted.
Old Lady Hua said, "This price is the purchase price we give. Songji Silver Shop is the largest one in our county. You know, they bought some of our goods a few days ago at the same price. We come to you to expand sales."
Old Mrs. Fang also chimed in: "It's hard to make flowers for us. We don't make much money, so we can't give you a discount. We'd feel bad if we gave you that one for free."
Seeing that Old Lady Fang had spoken, the other old ladies also plucked up the courage to interject a word or two.
"It's not enough for your family to have nice clothes. You need to have matching jewelry. If a customer buys your clothes, he or she will buy our hairpin because it's nice."
Old Lady Hua even lied to the other person: "Other cloth shops also have goods coming in, and we will have to deliver them to them later, so I asked you if you want any.
My hairpins are very popular and many people want them. Maybe someone who comes to buy hairpins can also buy your cloth at the same time."
The noise from the old ladies made the shopkeeper's ears buzz. He quickly waved his hands and said, "Okay, okay, no more bargaining. How much are these?"
