Chapter 541 Is it really feasible?
"In the past few years, this cloth was excellent. It was all from Songjiang and was quite popular at the time." Cheng Ruize said with regret, "But now it has become like this, I am afraid it will be difficult to sell."
It is not easy to sell, but it depends on how to sell it.
Zhuang Qingning's gaze never left the cloth.
"Manager Zhuang is interested in these cloths?" Cheng Ruize saw Zhuang Qingning like this and joked, "Could it be that Manager Zhuang has a place to dispose of these cloths?"
"Manager Cheng really guessed it right. I actually have a place where I can get these cloths." Zhuang Qingning smiled, "And the money I earn can exceed Manager Cheng's original expectations."
After all, these cloths are related to the reputation of Cheng's family and cannot be easily given to others. Cheng Ruize has already thought that if it really doesn't work, he can only starch and wash these cloths and use them to paste shoe soles.
"Oh?" Cheng Ruize suddenly became excited. "Then tell me, Manager Zhuang, how do we do it?"
"Manager Cheng, please sell these fabrics to me." Zhuang Qingning said with a smile.
Sell it to her? Cheng Ruize was stunned for a moment, but seeing Zhuang Qingning's confident smile and bright eyes, he knew she had an idea, so he smiled and said, "If Shopkeeper Zhuang wants these materials, don't talk about buying them. I'll just give them to Shopkeeper Zhuang."
"But with so much material, I'm afraid it's not easy for Shopkeeper Zhuang to carry it. Why don't I have someone deliver it to where Shopkeeper Zhuang wants it to go?"
This was a tentative inquiry into what the materials would be used for and where they would be sent.
Zhuang Qingning did not intend to hide it from Cheng Ruize, and said with a frank smile, "Why not tell Shopkeeper Cheng the truth? I plan to ship this cloth to Zhuang's Cloth Shop."
"Zhuang's Cloth Shop?" Cheng Ruize was stunned again. "Why would a cloth shop need such material?"
"To be honest with you, Manager Cheng, Uncle Yutian's cloth shop has been schemed against by Cao Jiande. Now the goods in the shop are extremely scarce. Since last winter, the materials in the shop have been in short supply, and the demand has become even worse after the New Year. The business in the shop is no longer possible now." Zhuang Qingning gave a brief explanation.
"I see." Cheng Ruize nodded slightly. "Manager Zhuang wants Zhuang's Cloth Shop to sell these materials? But if such materials are sold, it will easily damage its reputation. I'm afraid it's not appropriate. Since the cloth shop is out of stock and can't find good goods for the time being, why don't I write a letter to Manager Jiang in Songjiang City and ask him to send a batch of cloth over, which will also help the cloth shop."
"Uncle Yutian and I appreciate the kindness of Shopkeeper Cheng, but Shopkeeper Jiang only sells top-quality goods, while the cloth shop only sells low-quality goods. I'm afraid that Shopkeeper Jiang will have to look for someone else to get the goods. Not to mention the hassle, it will take more than a month for the letter to be sent and the goods to be sent back, even if it's fast, not to mention the other variables in between."
"During this period, Zhuangji Cloth Shop couldn't do business normally, so Caoji Cloth Shop must have made a lot of money. Who knows, it might be feeling very proud right now. We can't let it get too proud."
Zhuang Qingning said, "Besides, since Cao Jiande wants to block the cloth shop's access to goods, it's not going to work just by talking big. He's going to have to spend real money to buy more of their goods. Cao Jiande probably wants to cut off Zhuang's cloth shop's business, so his business will naturally improve, so he can buy more goods without any worries."
"When Zhuangji Cloth Shop's business recovers, Caoji Cloth Shop's goods will naturally be suppressed. Cao Jiande will then have no choice but to swallow the fruits of his labor."
"When doing something like this, you have to hurry up and do it. If you're late, not only will it be too late, but the slap on the face won't hurt enough."
Hearing this, Cheng Ruize lowered his head and thought for a moment, "I understand what Shopkeeper Zhuang meant, and I also know his intention, but Shopkeeper Zhuang wants to use these cloths that have been in stock for many years to snatch Cao's business. Is it really feasible?"
"nature."
Zhuang Qingning nodded, quite sure, "Manager Cheng, you come from a wealthy family, you probably don't know how ordinary people live. Wearing the same clothes for several years and only buying new clothes during festivals is a very common thing."
"Because we have to live frugally on weekdays, we have to count every penny clearly, and the same is true for the materials used in making clothes. We want to spend less money, but also want to make clothes with better materials. But this material has always been of high quality and high price, and it is very rare to be able to spend less money and buy good things."
"But at this time, there is a batch of cloth, which is only 10% or 20% of the usual price. The money that can usually only buy a set of fine cloth for making clothes can now buy a set of cotton and silk. Do you think they will buy it?"
"That being said, although the texture of this fabric will not deteriorate even after being stored for many years, it does have a musty smell. Won't those people mind it?" Cheng Ruize was still a little worried.
"After you buy the material, you can wash it. Once you soak it in soap nuts and remove the smell, you can wear it as a bright and beautiful piece of clothing. Who cares what it originally looked like?"
Zhuang Qingning smiled and said, "Let's not talk about the fact that ordinary people are proud of being frugal. Even if some people care about this, they are so busy on weekdays that they don't always remember these things. I only know that you are wearing mixed silk today. The color and pattern are beautiful, and the material feels good."
"Manager Cheng, don't worry. This batch of fabric is not suitable for sale in your Chengji, but if it is placed in Zhuangji, it will definitely be sold, and it will sell very well."
"And since Shopkeeper Cheng has given me this cloth, it naturally belongs to me. As for how I deal with it, that is naturally my own business."
It has nothing to do with Chengji, and will not use Chengji’s name.
Naturally, there is no question of whether selling these cloths would have any impact on Cheng Ji’s reputation.
Having said that, Cheng Ruize had no reason not to accept the offer, so he just nodded and said, "Then let's do as Shopkeeper Zhuang said. I'll have someone deliver these fabrics to the cloth shop later."
"Thank you, Manager Cheng." Zhuang Qingning said, "Then I will go and talk to Uncle Yutian about how to divide the profits. Uncle Yutian and Manager Cheng can discuss it."
"I was originally worried about how to dispose of these things. Now that you can help me sell them, it has already solved my problem. Why would I need dividends?"
Cheng Ruize said generously, "Besides, you just said that this thing is to be given to Shopkeeper Zhuang, so why would you ask for money?"
"Besides, to be honest, I also want to see how the cloth is sold. If I can sell it and it doesn't go to waste, I will feel relieved."
I'm taking the high-speed train tonight to go back to my parents' home, so tomorrow's update is set to a scheduled time. If there are any cute little rewards or monthly tickets to thank you, I will post it after I come back~ - A chicken in my left hand, a duck in my right hand, and a fat baby in my arms...
