Chapter 36 Pre-sale
In fact, this young master is talking about the truth. His family really has thirty taels per rosewood wooden stool.
After all, the hospitality chairs are the storefront of a family. No matter which era or family in any family, they will bring the best tables and chairs to entertain guests. If the ordinary Chinese family in later generations were in second-tier cities and third-tier cities, the family assets were one million, and after buying a house, they would still wield tens of thousands or tens of thousands of yuan, or more, and buy a leather sofa in the living room.
That is, spending one percent or more of the family's total assets to buy sofas is common in later generations.
How many rich people were there in Guangzhou Prefecture in the Ming Dynasty? These days, one acre of paddy fields in Lingnan cost 300,000 taels of silver, and how many rich people were there in their family with a hundred acres of fertile land? The population of Guangzhou City is 300,000, and such rich people are not even 10,000, but 5,000.
Not to mention those merchants who sell goods, or even those who set sail, how many are there in Guangzhou? Which such merchant does not have a net worth of ten thousand taels of silver?
What is it to spend one percent of your family’s assets, and spend dozens of taels of silver to buy two or four sofas to entertain guests? That is a very normal family expense!
The tyrants of this era bought Qin Zhao's sofas, which was the same as ordinary people in later generations who bought genuine leather sofas in their living room in their homes.
Not to mention that the quality gap between leather sofas and ordinary artificial leather sofas in later generations is not very big. Ordinary people in later generations just wave money to buy leather sofas for a little bit of touch or difference in quality. And here, the experience of the epoch-making spring soft chairs and ordinary wooden chairs is completely different from heaven and earth. If you spend such money, you will spend money on the blade, causing the grandeur of the reception room at home to rise sharply.
There are countless brands of genuine leather sofas in later generations, which can make people dazzle in their choices. In the Ming Dynasty, spring soft chairs are the only ones.
The young man turned around and said to his followers: "Buy! I will buy four spring soft chairs and put them in my main hall for the guests to sit!"
He moved a few times on the sofa, feeling the comfort brought by different directions, and then he reluctantly got up and found Qin Youli, who was sitting in the shopkeeper's position.
At this time, Qin Zhao was no longer in the shop, but took Qin Ning around to inspect the Chiyunfeng and Qinjia Village factories. In addition, Qin Zhao was also responsible for the training of Renhoufang group training.
Qin Youli was sitting in the store responsible for the business. Qin Wuji and two other self-recommendation villagers were also assigned to the store by Qin Zhao, with four people in the store.
"Boss, I want to buy four spring soft chairs, what price?"
Qin Youli looked at the young master and said slowly: "This young master, the price is easy to say. My Qin family store is still newly opened now. Customers only need 80% of the original price of silver to buy goods. The original price is twenty taels of silver per hand, but now we only sell 16 taels of silver per hand."
Qin Wuji next to him added hard: "Customer, our Qin store is doing a century-old business, and the soft chairs produced are definitely strong and durable. Your soft chair looks like it costs sixteen taels of silver, but you have to know that you can use this soft chair for ten years if you buy it back! You don't need to buy a new soft chair for ten years, so you can place this grand soft chair in the main hall for ten years!"
"It broke within ten years, and the store is responsible for repairs."
"So young master, think about it, if you count it this way, you don't spend much money every year!"
The young man in a beautiful dress smiled and said, "Is it so durable?"
Qin Wuji patted his chest and said, "If it doesn't take ten years, come and find me Qin Wuji!"
The young master laughed and said, "You guys do business."
Qin Youli looked at the young master and said slowly: "Young master, the price is easy to say, and they are all discounted prices. But there is no spot in the store now. If you want to buy goods, you have to pay a silver deposit here, and then wait for our new soft chair to be delivered to you ten days later!"
The young man was stunned and said embarrassedly: "It's going to be ten days later? It's too long!"
Qin Youli shook his head and sighed: "It's really difficult. Now it's time to wait ten days later!"
The young man frowned and thought for a while, finally shook his head and sighed. He waved his hand and asked a servant next to him to come up and pay a deposit of two taels of silver.
"Then come and pick up the goods in ten days!"
After paying the money, the young master was a little disappointed.
Qin Wuji saw this and quickly lifted the four soft chairs covered with red cloth next to him, saying, "Young Master, the one you were sitting on was an old soft chair that hundreds or thousands of people had sat on. The four were new here. Come and sit on the new soft chair to try."
The young man's eyes lit up and he walked to the new soft chair and sat down.
"Comfortable!"
“Exactly soft!”
“This soft chair is really durable, the new one feels the same as the old one.”
The young man experienced the comfort of a spring soft chair again, and suddenly felt very comfortable. His unhappy mood just now faded, and his eyes were full of expectations. With a wave of his sleeves, he said, "Shopkeeper, I'll agree that I'll come to pick up eight soft chairs in twelve days, so I can't miss my time anymore!"
Qin Youli said: "Don't worry, you must be ready in ten days!"
The young man nodded and walked out with a few followers.
Immediately, a new customer walked up to Qin Youli and paid the money to order the order with him.
Wei Zhanchen stood in the store and saw this scene, stunned.
This spring soft chair is selling well, right? The goods have been sold for more than ten days later. Wouldn't this store be rich?
There are too many rich people in Guangzhou where merchants mingle, and sofas have become a hot product.
Although he had expected this scene, Wei Zhanchen still felt that the impact was too great when he witnessed it with his own eyes.
He quickly took out a tael of silver from his pocket and squeezed it up with a waving silver.
"Shopkeeper, I want to order two pairs of sofas! I need to have a footrest stool!"
Qin Youli smiled and said, "Today there is a discount, only 80% of the payment is paid! Each handful of 16 taels of silver, two handfuls of 32 taels of silver!"
"Buy! Buy it too!"
Qin Youli smiled and said, "It will take thirteen days to get the goods!"
Wei Zhanchen said embarrassedly: "Can't you be faster?"
Qin Youli shook his head and said, "Customer, you can't be fast. We pay attention to slow work and meticulous work when making soft chairs. We are very careful when doing them, and we can't even get faster!"
Wei Zhanchen spat and said, "Well, I'll come to get the goods in thirteen days. Shopkeeper, please collect my deposit and issue me a certificate."
"Okay!"
After I issued the certificate, Qin Youli walked over to Qin Zhao who was sitting in the boss's position to drink tea.
"Master, today a customer has ordered sixteen soft chairs."
Qin Zhao smiled and said, "We can only produce twelve ones a day, but we pre-sale sixteen ones a day. Which day will the order be ordered?"
"It's already 13 days later."
