Lucky husband

After preliminarily finalizing the cooperation with Bai Zhiwen, Wan Rongtong learned about the number of belts and fan pendants that Bai Zhiwen currently has, and the number that can be made in the future. He frowned and thought for a while: "I can make something suitable for women or brothers." something?"

Wan Rongtong felt that Bai Zhiwen could provide neither too much nor too little. If he only made men's belts and fan pendants, it would be inconvenient to find high-end clothing stores to sell, and it would not be easy to sell them at a high price. If women and brothers could be considered Inside, there's more he can do.

"It should be possible." Bai Zhiwen felt that since Aunt Sally and the others could make men's belts and other items, they should be more handy in making women's accessories, and they might be able to make more things by then.

"That's good. I'll take a few and go find someone to talk to. I'll come to you when the deal is settled." Wan Rongtong took a few fans out from the bag that Bai Zhiwen put on the table.

One of these fan pendants was his favorite, and he planned to keep it for himself, and the other two planned to take some time to visit the shops he was familiar with in Fucheng to see if they were interested in these things.

After waiting for a few days, Bai Zhiwen received the news from Wan Rongtong, and it was done.

A belt costs three taels of silver, and an average of ten broken gemstones are used on it, plus the money for the rope and the salaries of the aunts. A belt only costs one tael of silver at most, and the remaining two taels of silver are Bai Zhiwen and Wan Rongtong. Pure profit.

In addition to the belt, there are also fan pendants whose price has been negotiated, two pendants cost one tael of silver.

The number of broken gemstones on the fan pendant is much less than that of the belt, usually only two, any more would be a bit cumbersome. Generally speaking, the cost of the fan pendant is within three hundred cash.

That is to say, a fan pendant can earn two hundred coins. Although the fan pendant costs less, the fan pendant can be made quickly, the cost is low, and the selling price is also low. If you buy more fans, you will earn a lot of money in the long run.

The first batch of men's belts and fan pendants that Bai Zhiwen had saved for more than a month were sold at one time, and they got a total of 450 taels of silver. In addition to buying broken gems and ropes and the wages of his aunts, Bai Zhiwen had 260 taels in hand, which was distributed to Wan Rongtong has 78 taels, and he has 180 taels left.

In less than two and a half months from returning to Fucheng Academy to study at the end of March, Bai Zhiwen's money increased by nearly 200 taels.

Later, according to the opinions of Bai Zhiwen and Wan Rongtong, the aunts of Sally researched various accessories for women, such as belts, cuffs, collars, hair ties, etc., while continuing to weave men's belts. They found a way to combine broken gemstones with flower hairpins, combs, paired hairpins, pearl hairpins, step shakers, Yingluo and other objects. Anyway, they made some of all kinds of things that can be decorated with broken gemstones.

The noble ladies and noble ladies in Fucheng have long discovered that a new type of belt has become popular in men's literati circles. Their women have always cared more about dressing than men, so how can they walk behind? Use it, and immediately go out to buy it when you get the news.

Women's comparisons have always been stronger than men's. If they are bought by others, they will be regarded as shame by these idle ladies and ladies. Once women's jewelry comes out, the price is more than double that of men's.

Aunt Sally and other aunts are much faster than the beginning, but no matter how fast they make things, they can’t keep up with the speed of the ladies and ladies. From April to September, six months At that time, Bai Zhiwen earned 3000 taels of silver by selling jewelry made of broken gems.

Wan Rongtong was also allocated 400 taels. At the beginning, Wan Rongtong didn't pay much attention to the cooperation with Bai Zhiwen. After taking more monthly money from home, the way he looked at Bai Zhiwen changed.

But the good times didn't last long. At first, some people thought that the chief minister behind Wan Rongtong didn't make a move, but when other people in the same business saw that the two of them had made a lot of money selling broken gem ornaments, they began to think about it. Behind the scenes trying to do the same thing out.

In August and September, Bai Zhiwen and Wan Rongtong obviously felt that things were not so easy to sell.

Although it is not so easy to sell, but because Aunt Sally and the others have good craftsmanship, the things they make are always the latest, and they sell well.

After some discussion, the two decided to keep Fucheng as it is for the time being, and let Aunt Sally and the others slow down to make new ones.

Wan Rongtong was dissatisfied. He felt that he could bring these objects made of broken gemstones back to Fule State for sale. The fashionable objects from Fule City would not fail to sell in Fule State. The power of the family, as long as they manage well, there will be no one else in Fule State to grab business in the future.

However, Bai Zhiwen felt that if he wanted to sell in Fule Prefecture, he had to rely on the Wan family. He and Wan Rongtong had a good relationship and could talk and do things freely, but the Wan family was a big family with many and complicated people. Everyone will be very sensitive to the word, if money is involved too much with the Wan family, then the friendship with Wan Rongtong will be ruined.

Moreover, Bai Zhiwen's more important thing in Jintai Academy is to study and prepare for next year's autumn. He has already earned enough money to buy a small courtyard in Fucheng, and he doesn't want to spend too much time on earning money. .

Therefore, Bai Zhiwen didn't accept Wan Rongtong's suggestion. He proposed another method. He persuaded Aunt Sally and others to teach the Wan family how to make this rope, and the Wan family would do it in Fule State in the future. Jewelry sells.

The only condition is that Wanjia's products cannot be sold in Fucheng, they can be sold in other states and counties in the whole province, even in other provinces, but it cannot be in Jintai City.

Sally and her group are like little ants in front of those big families, they belong to the type that can be crushed to death casually. Since Bai Zhiwen invited them to make things for him, he wants to protect them as much as possible, even though he In front of the big family is a stronger and bigger ant.

Instead of attracting the prying eyes of the big family, being persecuted and regretting, it is better to find a backer early, the Wan family is good, and has a close relationship with the governor of the province.

Don't look at Wan Rongtong's impulsive and emotional performance sometimes, in fact, he is always clear-headed when he is not involved in Cuju, and he knows Bai Zhiwen's plan after listening to Bai Zhiwen's opinion.

Although he felt that such an arrangement was unfair to Bai Zhiwen and others, he thought that he was a Wan family first, and then Wan Rongtong, not to mention that you can't talk about feelings when talking about business. After weighing the pros and cons, Wan Rongtong wrote a letter when he went back. Get someone to send you home quickly.

Then, Bai Zhiwen also asked Bai Mugen to go to Aunt Sally and others to explain the reason, and asked them if they would like to do that.

Aunt Sally has earned a lot of money with Bai Zhiwen for more than half a year, and she has been worried that something will happen to a group of powerless women who are so popular with the rich and noble because the little things they make are so popular.

Hearing Bai Mugen vaguely stated that Bai Xiucai had found a backer for them, he hurriedly agreed.

The Wan family benefited, and did not forget about Bai Zhiwen, and gave him a one-time thank you fee of 500 taels, which meant that after the money was paid, they should not be involved in this issue again.

Of the 500 taels of silver, Bai Zhiwen kept 300 taels for himself, and the remaining 200 taels were distributed to Aunt Sally and the others, which made them even more grateful to Bai Zhiwen.

At this time, Bai Zhiwen already had 4000 taels of silver in his hand. He calculated the expenses for the next few years and decided to buy a house for a junior in Fucheng. The younger brother took over and the family lived in it without crowding.

In Fucheng, it is not easy to buy a first-entry house with a good location, a good house, and a suitable size. The smaller the house, the more popular it is, and the second-entry house is much easier. Bai Zhiwen asked Bai Mugen to look for it for a while One day, I took a fancy to a small Erjin courtyard that was less than an incense stick away from the academy.

The former owner of this second-entry small courtyard was also a scholar who studied in Jintai Academy. He has studied in the academy for more than ten years and still failed to pass the exam. He has no confidence in next year's autumn.

Because of his studies, the family is getting more and more stretched. In desperation, he plans to sell the house and take his family back to his hometown county to live a new life. The house is well maintained by his family and they have lived in love. The asking price is two Thousands of 300 taels, not willing to spend less.

The price of the house next to the academy is higher than that of other places. What's more, the layout of this house is good, there is no damage and no repairs are needed. Move in directly, the price is not high.

Bai Zhiwen bought the house with almost no hesitation.

After buying the house, Bai Zhiwen only asked Bai Mugen to ask someone to clean it up. Bai Mugen found a house to live in, and he continued to live in the academy.

Bai Zhiwen thought, it won't be long before the Academy will organize this year's Cuju Competition, and this year's Cuju Competition may not be sure that Brother Jin and the others will come to see it again, so he will directly bring Brother Jin over to have a look, and ask Brother Jin wants to change the house.

Or if Brother Jin doesn't come to Fucheng, he can also go back to show Brother Jin the blueprint of the house during the Chinese New Year and ask Brother Jin what he thinks.

In addition to considering Brother Jin's opinion, Bai Zhiwen also paid attention to his mother Bai Yao's wishes. In the future, Bai Yao would also live here, and everyone had to be satisfied with the layout of the house.

What's more, after he was elected in the autumn, he should go to Beijing to rush for the exam next year. He must bring Brother Jin with him. By then, the people who will live in the house in Fucheng for a long time will be his mother and younger brother. Will definitely stay for a long time.
