Chapter 104 Selling Cotton
When she arrived at the cloth shop where she had bought clothes before, Shen Lianxin was dressed very differently from before and it had been quite some time, so the clerk did not recognize Shen Lianxin.
"Ma'am, please come in and take a look at our new brocade. It has just been shipped from the south and is especially soft and beautiful." The waiter greeted her warmly. He could tell at a glance that Shen Lianxin came from a wealthy family and was very rich, so he specifically selected the best ones to introduce to her this time.
Shen Lianxin didn't show it on her face, but she was secretly complaining in her heart, this businessman really always treats people differently based on their social status.
Just look at it, she had never seen such beautiful brocade before. It felt smooth when she touched it, even smoother than a young girl's skin.
Shen Lianxin couldn't take her eyes off the dark red carvings, the yellow with gold threads, the green with gilded color prints, and the colorful black.
"How to sell it?"
When the clerk saw Shen Lianxin's fond look, he immediately laughed and said, "Madam, you have a good eye. This batch of fabrics has just arrived at the store. They are all top-quality brocades shipped from the south. Each piece costs 30 taels!!"
"How much?" Shen Lianxin was shocked. 30 taels? This was a famine year. Who would spend 30 taels to buy a piece of cloth, no matter how good the cloth was?
The clerk knew that the price was not cheap, so he smiled and said, "Madam, this is top-grade fabric."
As he spoke, he tiptoed to Shen Lianxin's ear and whispered, "It is said that this is the tribute to the nobles in the palace. There are only so many left. It will be useless if we sell them all."
Shen Lianxin's expression slightly changed, and the clerk quickly said, "Madam, ordinary people like us don't even see this kind of cloth on weekdays. If it weren't for my boss's connections, it would be impossible to get it. You can't find the same quality outside our store. Wear it out, it will definitely make you look good."
Shen Lianxin was also very excited. This ancient craft was all hand-woven, and the pattern of each piece was unique, which was very different from modern industrial looms and naturally more precious. But in terms of cost-effectiveness, it was naturally not as good as modern industrial cloth.
But think about it, these are exquisite pictures and texts woven thread by hand, and if they were brought to modern times, they would definitely be treasures.
Finally, Shen Lianxin gritted her teeth and bought two pieces, one in pearl white with a triple three-dimensional weave and floral patterns, and the other in watercolor with pink and blue butterflies and floral patterns.
Shen Lianxin couldn't let go of these two pieces of cloth, so she had to buy them both. There was also the colorful black one, which was suitable for boys. Shen Lianxin hesitated for a long time and decided not to buy it.
My son is not worthy of wearing such good material. It is better for the little boy to be strong and durable. Thinking of this, Shen Lianxin laughed.
She also bought several rolls of cotton and silk in different colors for the boys. After choosing, Shen Lianxin reported her height and age roughly, and left the cloth directly in the store, asking the tailor to make it into finished products before picking it up. This saved a lot of trouble, and Shen Lianxin spent 70 taels of silver including the labor and materials.
I inquired about the price of cotton. This year, the price of cotton is particularly high. "I don't know why, but the weather got cold very early this year, so cotton is in short supply. In previous years, it was 200 wen per catty, but this year it's 300 wen per catty. Madam, are you going to make cotton clothes?"
When Shen Lianxin heard this, she thought it was too expensive. No wonder people froze to death every year in ancient times. Many people chose to stuff straw into their clothes to keep warm. Cotton was really not something that poor people could afford.
Shen Lianxin thought for a moment and said, "Hey, buddy, I'll pay for the cotton myself. I'll use the cloth I just bought, except for two pieces of brocade, to make cotton clothes. Is that okay?"
The clerk nodded. "Of course, we can make it after we buy the cloth in our store and pay the labor fee. But what about the cotton?"
Shen Lianxin thought for a moment, "My family has traveled all over the country, so they naturally bring back the products from the production areas."
As she spoke, Shen Lianxin pretended to take out a big package from the carriage outside, which was full of cotton.
When the clerk saw it, his eyes lit up, "Madam, do you still have this cotton?"
Shen Lianxin was stunned for a moment, then reacted, "Of course, there are a lot, what do you mean?"
The clerk immediately rubbed his hands excitedly, "Cotton is in short supply this year, and the price is rising every day. If you have a lot of cotton at home, can you sell some to me?"
Shen Lianxin thought about it and thought, this is a good business. It can not only help the people of Ying Dynasty survive the winter, but also make a lot of money.
"I wonder how much your store can handle?" Shen Lianxin began to calculate how much goods a store like this could handle.
Hearing Shen Lianxin's tone, he invited Shen Lianxin to the backyard for tea, "Madam, wait a moment, I'll go and ask the shopkeeper to come."
Shen Lianxin nodded, and soon the shop owner appeared. He was a slightly plump middle-aged man with small eyes that showed shrewdness and a fleshy nose. He looked reliable.
Seeing Shen Lianxin, he politely bowed, and Shen Lianxin also stood up to return the greeting.
"I heard that the lady has a stockpile of cotton at home? I wonder how much?"
Shen Lianxin thought about it, stretched out a finger, and said excitedly, "One thousand pounds?"
Shen Lianxin shook her head, "Ten thousand pounds!"
The shopkeeper stood up from his chair and looked at Shen Lianxin with eager eyes, "Really?"
"Of course!" Not to mention ten thousand kilograms, Shen Lianxin can even handle ten million kilograms.
The shopkeeper walked back and forth twice, and Shen Lianxin did not rush her, "Can I see the samples?"
Shen Lianxin took out a pound of cotton directly from her bag, all of which was high-quality long-staple cotton from Xinjiang.
The shopkeeper was even more excited when he saw the quality of the cotton, "Can you guarantee that it's all of this quality?"
Shen Lianxin nodded. The shopkeeper turned around a few times and slapped the table. "Okay, Madam, I'll take all the 10,000 kilograms. What's the price?"
Shen Lianxin thought to herself, this shopkeeper is collecting so much, I'm afraid he can't afford it? He's not afraid of losing money, he has some courage.
Seeing Shen Lianxin's concerns, the shopkeeper sat down again. "To be honest, Madam, cotton is in great demand this year. Many stores are out of stock. I am not afraid of losing money if I buy all of it. I can sell it to other stores and make a profit from the difference, which is also a considerable amount. Moreover, the price of cotton changes every day, and I am afraid that the supply cannot meet the demand. Today's price is 300 wen per catty. Madam, please give a fair price so that everyone can make a profit."
Shen Lianxin nodded, "The shopkeeper is honest and speaks frankly, and the prices are open and transparent. It's best for both parties to win, and I naturally won't covet the shopkeeper's share of the profits."
Shen Lianxin purchased goods from the Space Mall. A pound of high-quality Xinjiang long-staple cotton was only 8 yuan, which was already a huge profit. Moreover, she asked for too much, which squeezed the shopkeeper's profit. The shopkeeper would naturally raise the price, and in the end, it was the people who had to pay for it.
After thinking for a while, Shen Lianxin spoke again, "Today's cotton price is 300 wen per catty. I will sell 200 catties to the shopkeeper at wen per catty, but there is a condition."
Hearing the price of 200 coins, the shopkeeper's eyes lit up. One catty has a profit of 100 coins, and 1000 catties is taels. He didn't expect Shen Lianxin to give him such a low price, and the shopkeeper stood up excitedly.
"Ma'am, please speak!"
