Chapter 148 Wholesale Jewelry
Jiang Hongyu picked up the tea and took a sip. He knew that he was benefiting from his wife's treatment today. Ordinary people would not be treated so well. However, Yu Jiaming and Xiaowu did not know this. They just thought that this small shop, except for its size, seemed similar to the jewelry shops they had visited in Beijing.
When Sister Chunhong brought out two sets of pearl tiaras, they were both shocked that such a small shop could have such exquisite tiaras.
Ye Mingzhu was also surprised. She didn't expect that the crown that she had casually drawn some time ago was actually made by the master in the store by Lin Dongjia.
These two sets of tiaras are not the big tiaras worn at weddings. They are much smaller and can be worn on ordinary days. Each tiara has thirty-six pearls inlaid with gold and silver threads. One is in the shape of a peony and the other is in the shape of a lotus.
When Ye Mingzhu was drawing the picture, she said that although such a crown was gorgeous, it might not be sold in a small place like Pingguan Town. She hoped to take such a crown to the provincial capital to sell it.
Maybe Mr. Lin was in a hurry to leave and didn't explain clearly, so the master made it anyway.
Although the picture was drawn by Ye Mingzhu, the real thing is much more beautiful than the picture. Even Jiang Hongyu and Xiaowu, who have seen countless precious jewelry, were stunned.
"How much is this tiara?" Xiao Wu was calculating whether the money he had was enough to buy the two tiaras. This tiara was not suitable for elders to wear. Should he sell it or give it to someone else?
Sister Chunhong glanced at Ye Mingzhu, and Ye Mingzhu shook her head, meaning that she didn't know that the prices of the jewelry in this store were set by Mr. Lin, and she had no involvement.
"This jewelry has just been made. Please take a look at it first to see if you like it. If not, we have other jewelry." Sister Chunhong did not make a decision privately, but just let a few people appreciate it first.
Xiao Wu had already decided on a tiara, but when he heard there were other pieces of jewelry, although he was tempted, he still shook his head: "I think this tiara is nice, name a price."
Sister Chunhong was really at her wit's end, so she looked at Ye Mingzhu again.
Ye Mingzhu pondered for a moment and gestured the number six.
Sister Chunhong pondered for a moment and said, "These two tiaras are new products in our shop. Look at the pearls on them; they were recently salvaged. The inlaying craftsmanship is unique to Pinggu Town. If they were sold in the capital, I'm afraid they would be worth more than a thousand taels. Don't you agree?"
Following Chunhong's words, Xiaowu looked at the crown and nodded unconsciously. Although Yu Jiaming didn't say anything, his eyes showed that he agreed.
"If you two are sincere about buying these two tiaras, I'll sell them to you both for six hundred taels each."
After Sister Chunhong finished speaking, her palms were sweating. If this was sold, today's profit would be more than any previous one.
Yu Jiaming and Xiaowu were both stunned. Only six hundred taels?
Seeing the two men stunned, Sister Chunhong thought she had exaggerating. She tried her best to control her gaze towards Ye Mingzhu and said with a smile, "My two lords, are you dissatisfied with this crown? This crown is unique, not to mention in Pinggu Town, even in the capital."
Yu Jiaming was the first to react: "We want both of these tiaras. Find a brocade box and wrap them up for us."
Xiao Wu also reacted, with a smile on his face: "Yes, yes, we want both."
"Get us some other jewelry." Xiaowu continued.
This crown is too cheap, and the other jewelry must not be expensive either. Xiaowu decided not to give this crown away, but to send it to an auction house, where the price would definitely double.
Yu Jiaming glanced at Xiaowu, who whispered in his ear, "Cousin."
Yu Jiaming reacted immediately, his expression becoming more eager: "Yes, bring up all the good jewelry you have."
Sister Chunhong couldn't hide the smile on her face. She didn't expect the two people Ye Mingzhu brought to be so generous. She immediately went out and asked someone to bring the jewelry into the house.
How could there be a shortage of jewelry in the jewelry shop? There were new jewelry made this month and jewelry that was not sold last month. Yu Jiaming and Xiaowu bought everything that was exquisite and beautiful without bargaining.
Ye Mingzhu was a little dumbfounded. She took the opportunity to go to the toilet to call Sister Chunhong out and said, "Remind those two that our store only accepts cash and no credit."
Sister Chunhong was a little surprised that Ye Mingzhu accepted this, but seeing that so many jewelry had been sold, she was also a little worried. She went in and found an excuse to ask the two to pay for the jewelry they liked first, and she would move the brocade box in.
Yu Jiaming and Xiaowu each took out five thousand taels of silver notes, all of which were issued by the county bank. Sister Chunhong had seen quite a few of them, but this was the first time she saw someone buying so many jewelry.
Ye Mingzhu watched them take out ten thousand yuan to buy jewelry, and almost bought out all the precious jewelry in Linglong Pavilion. Her eyes were about to cramp, but she couldn't stop them from buying.
Jiang Hongyu patted her hand soothingly and whispered, "They settled the deal and are both satisfied."
Even if Ye Mingzhu is a shareholder of Linglong Pavilion, there is no way to stop others from doing business.
Logically speaking, as a shareholder, the more Ye Mingzhu bought, the more he should earn. However, he felt something was strange when he saw the other party buying so many jewelry. It was a bit like wholesale, not like giving it away as a gift.
Moreover, they bought all the jewelry, and Ye Mingzhu was also worried that Linglong Pavilion would have no jewelry to sell in the future.
Yu Jiaming and Xiaowu were very satisfied. They asked Sister Chunhong to pack all the jewelry into a brocade box and gave them a list. They planned to ship it directly to the county.
"Brother Jiang, is there a security company in your town?" Xiaowu followed Sister Chunhong to pack the jewelry, and Yu Jiaming asked Jiang Hongyu.
"Yes, it's nearby." Jiang Hongyu didn't expect that the two of them bought the jewelry and directly checked it in.
"Then please, Brother Jiang, accompany me. I want to ship all these jewellery back." Yu Jiaming had a smile on his face.
Jiang Hongyu was a little confused, but he still accompanied him to the escort agency.
This was the first time the escort agency had received such a job. All they had to do was deliver the goods to the county. In less than half a day, they could earn fifty taels. This deal was totally worth it.
Yu Jiaming paid the money directly and asked them to send all the brocade boxes directly to the county bank.
Upon learning that the carriage was for transporting jewellery, the escort company attached great importance to it and specially sent two officers to put all the brocade boxes on the carriage. They also asked Yu Jiaming to check them again and only set off for the county after confirming that they were correct.
Ye Mingzhu was watching from the side, and for the first time she had a concrete impression of the wealthy people in ancient times. They bought jewelry in wholesale and had it transported away directly by escort cart after purchase.
How could she know whether the two men shipped these things directly to the auction house in the capital, or used the channels of their relatives and paid almost no travel expenses. The value of the jewelry almost doubled after it was shipped to the capital, and the two men made a fortune.
Now that they have spent the money, Yu Jiaming and Xiaowu are beaming with joy. They feel that this town will definitely bring them prosperity.
"Let's go shopping somewhere else."
