Chapter 610 Father-in-law has to do something meaningful
It is also very beneficial to the reputation of Eunuch Wei. How can Eunuch Wei be unhappy?
However, business is still too underdeveloped these days, and logistics is also pitifully low in addition to canal transportation.
There are no means of rapid dissemination such as TV advertisements. Even if Eunuch Wei stops all the way, the scope of welfare distribution is limited to both sides of the canal, no more than fifty miles at most.
In this way, there will be very few audiences.
If you buy less, you can see the income from selling things.
After selling it for a few days, it took only two ships to be sold. Is it necessary to sell it for the Year of the Monkey and Horse Month?
It’s not that Eunuch Wei didn’t want to treat these goods as the first batch of supplies he went to sea to make money. At first, he really had this idea, so he made a fortune by making money, brought the resources of Shandong bosses to the redemption of the Ming people, and went to sea to earn a trade surplus.
However, after listening to some "reports" from southern merchants, Eunuch Wei dispelled this idea.
The consequence of doing so is that he will lose his life.
Because, the goods purchased by Shandong bosses are basically shipped from the south, and the price is far exceeding the cost.
In other words, when Eunuch Wei arrives in the south and wants to take out this batch of goods, the price must plummet, otherwise it will be uncompetitive.
In this way, you will not make money or be troublesome, and you will do a business in a single job.
So, it’s better to sell it locally and make it cheaper for the people.
However, although the idea is good, it is difficult to actually operate.
After selling it for a few days, two ships of cargo were sold, and most of the money they got was copper coins, which was enough to make Eunuch Wei suck.
Conservatively estimated that this batch of goods must be sold all the way to Yangzhou before they can be cleared, and it will take at least two months.
Eunuch Wei was anxious and once got off the boat and shouted, selling half and half for delivery.
As a result, he got angry.
Maybe the reputation of Eunuch Wei's great charity has spread too far, so some people regard him as a fool, and even have the idea of receiving it for free.
If Wei Daqianzi didn't give him any gift, he would be no good man, but a bad eunuch and a traitor from the capital.
Although there are few such people, they seriously affect Eunuch Wei's mood.
You can't just care about them, and you won't wave your hand and give the people a "pig clue" too.
Fortunately, there is a good side.
According to the analysis of several smart old horse thieves under Zheng Duo, there have been obvious bulk goods sold in the market recently, and the buyer is a nearby merchant.
These businessmen are much more sensible than the people. Instead of buying them on their own, they spend money to ask someone to buy them and then pay them for them.
The reason for this is probably because these businessmen know that Eunuch Wei is a good man, but no matter how kind he is, he may not want anyone to seek advantage under him.
To avoid trouble, it is appropriate to hide behind the scenes.
Eunuch Wei thought that these businessmen were working together to pull his wool.
The old man sold half and half to get a gift, and sold all the way, so that the people could gain real benefits and gain a reputation by themselves. However, it would be obvious that it would go against the original intention if the merchants got involved.
However, this is the inevitability of the market economy.
There is no one in the world who sells things and is not allowed to buy them.
Zheng Duo knew that Eunuch Wei was the first intention, so he proposed to send more people to investigate tomorrow, but he would deduct it if he saw the bulk purchase.
"It's not right, the businessman is also the emperor's people, and our family cannot look at it differently."
Eunuch Wei rejected this proposal, scholars, peasants, industry and commerce are one, and the class cannot be prejudice against the rich just because of sympathy with the poor and the vulnerable.
One is willing to sell and the other is willing to buy. How can it be so thrilling just because others buy more?
"Or, limit the purchase and set the quantity, and only buy a person is allowed to buy." The idea was Sister Xiuzhi, who looked very careful.
Eunuch Wei shook his head: "When will it be sold at the end?"
"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, then what are you going to do?" Sister Xiuzhi was displeased.
Eunuch Wei chuckled and told Zheng Duo: "Tomorrow, we will be sold according to individual customers and wholesale."
Zheng Duo understands what individual customers are, and he doesn’t understand what wholesale is.
"Ordinary people come to buy it, the price is lower. For bulk purchases, the price is higher." Eunuch Wei deviated from the normal world. Those who do business are expensive for individual customers and cheaper for wholesale. At his disposal, he has changed.
"this?"
Zheng Duo and Sister Xiuzhi both called this method and couldn't figure it out.
"Let's go and make it clear, and you're not fooled."
Eunuch Wei was too lazy to explain and waved his hand to ask Zheng Duo to go down.
There is nothing logical about this.
Because, the basis of this transaction is not to make a profit, but to show love.
Therefore, it can be explained.
The people are still affordable, but their purchasing power is small, so they cannot help him clear the stock.
It is understandable that the merchant is pursuing profit, but he fetched him, Eunuch Wei, and said that his father-in-law was not happy. Then, just add some price to you, so that you can fetch less fleece, so that your father-in-law will be able to keep his mind going.
The most important thing is that the bulk purchases of merchants can quickly help Eunuch Wei reduce the burden.
Compared with the actual market price of these goods, even if you raise some prices, merchants still make a lot of money. Therefore, there is no need to worry about not buying them.
Eunuch Wei is decisive in his work and is talking about faith and righteousness.
On the second day, there was a notice posted on the dock, bluntly stating the trading rules here.
As a result, praise was buzzing.
All the merchants who had been hiding in the dark all floated to the open, and they took the money to buy the goods they had long liked.
I really don’t know if I don’t know, I’m shocked every time I take it.
After Zheng Duo's investigation, he found out that half of the merchants in the inner world followed him from Jining.
It can be said that Eunuch Wei will go wherever he goes.
Originally, the other party was a big eunuch with troops, and the merchants did not dare to rogue, acted steadily, and rushed slowly. Now, Eunuch Wei opened the market by himself and explained the conditions. Although the price was a little higher than before, the cost of deducting the intermediate procurement was not much. The key is that it saved time and effort.
On that day, four ships were cleared at once.
With the mutual transmission of merchants, more and more businessmen in surrounding prefectures and counties moved closer to Weishan Lake.
Such a cheap good thing in the world is rare in a century.
Seeing that the situation was great and the scenery here was good, Eunuch Wei simply stayed for a few more days.
After that, it was not yet dawn, and the dock was crowded with merchants coming to buy.
One, two...
In a few days, most of the goods were cleared, and Eunuch Wei's net profit was more than 70,000 taels. An empty ship was filled with copper coins.
Based on the remaining value of the goods, Eunuch Wei finally got more than 100,000 taels of money, and added the actual silver cash paid by Chen Zeng before, and the redemption fee of 500,000 taels was 60% off, which was actually less than 35 taels.
The other twenty taels are cheaper for the people and asked the merchants to take them away.
It is true that Eunuch Wei values money and likes money, but he really enjoys the 200,000 taels.
It is better to have fun with everyone than to have fun with them alone.
After a large-scale dumping in a few days, the market was almost full.
The remaining dozen ships of cargo are planned to be brought to Xuzhou for sale.
The advantage is that you can't ask for a place to go.
