I just want to make money

Chapter 31 Buying a Room of Books

Chen Jianghe's plan is to invest 1000 yuan in advance, buy a batch of leftover silk cloth and transport it to his hometown in Yiwu, and mobilize the whole village to help make silk flowers.

He has already thought about how to make silk flowers, and he uses the simplest method, a stamping chisel, similar to a chisel for smashing copper paper money, can chisel through dozens of pieces at one time, and when they are cut out, they will be small petals, which can be glued together to form a bunch of flowers , This job is not difficult, but the difficulty is that it requires a lot of manpower, and it is a labor-intensive industry.

After listening to Chen Jianghe's explanation, Lin Yi nodded in agreement, "Have you decided on the first product yet?"

"I haven't thought about it yet, I just thought of this." Chen Jianghe scratched his head and said.

In fact, I have thought about it very carefully.

"What do you plan to use for the flower branches?" Lin Yi asked.

"Oh, I see that those big factories use iron wire, and then wrap it with cloth strips to make fake branches." Chen Jianghe has indeed observed it.

"Can you buy so much iron wire, and the price of iron wire is also very high, which invisibly increases the cost a lot." Lin Yi asked.

"I've also thought about it before. Silk flower waste is very cheap, and it can be compressed manually. Iron wire can't be bought in large quantities, and the price accounts for almost half of the cost. Brother Yi, do you have any good ideas?" Chen Jianghe asked.

"Simple, use real branches." Lin Yi said.

Chen Jianghe was taken aback, "Real branches, it's that simple, so why don't they use this method at the state-owned silk flower factory?"

"Because they are not short of money, the most important thing for export is quality. The branches have the risk of corruption and deterioration. If there is mold, they will not only have to compensate, but also lose their reputation and lose the market. Another reason is that they can be uniformly shaped, but not branches." Lin Yidao,

After hearing this, Chen Jianghe suddenly realized that there are so many ways in it.

"What about us?"

Lin Yi smiled slightly, "Hehe, let's just use the branches directly. What the common people are after is that the first is good-looking and practical, and the second is cheap."

"So my suggestion to you is to make peach blossoms as the first product. There are peach tree gardens in many places. The branches they cut, take them back to the sun, and they are almost dry. After a little pruning, they are made of silk cloth. Petals, flower buds, and a few buds and leaves are added to form a peach blossom branch, as long as there are four or five such flower branches, it can be regarded as a bunch of flowers that can be sold outside, what do you think?"

After Lin Yi finished speaking, Chen Jianghe's small eyes became extremely bright.

Lin Yi helped him solve the things that he hadn't thought of before, and said excitedly: "Brother Yi, you are amazing, peach branches don't cost money, peach blossoms are easy to make and save materials, it's just amazing."

Lin Yi smiled.

Why did he come up with this idea.

In fact, there is nothing profound,
Nor was he deduced by any economic theory.

But his mother once bought this kind of peach blossom branch, bought one during the Chinese New Year, put it in a vase when she came back, and celebrated the whole year.

After solving all the problems, Chen Jianghe didn't leave, but ran to Hanzheng Street, observing stall after stall.

Look at commodity prices and how people do business.

Looking back, he followed Jiang Wu, Li Xiangqian and they helped sell goods together. Seeing that Lin Yi's business is doing so well, he was both envious and admired in his heart.

Two days later, when Chen Jianghe was about to leave, Lin Yi took out 1000 yuan, "This is my investment, and if I lose it, it's an investment failure. You can decide how to divide the profits."

"Brother Yi, don't worry, I have the confidence to make money. If your investment makes money, we will split the money fifty-fifty." Chen Jianghe said.

Lin Yi knew that Chen Jianghe was a very trustworthy person, "Success, I will do as you said." He sent Chen Jianghe out of Hanzheng Street until he got on the bus.

When the bus was about to leave, Chen Jianghe yelled at Lin Yi from the window: "Brother Yi, I will come here in a month at most."

"Waiting for your good news." Lin Yi smiled and waved goodbye.

When returning to the front door, the owner of the bookstall saw Lin Yi and immediately shouted: "Boss Lin, I happened to see you, you asked me to help collect the books, I have already collected a batch, do you want to see it? "

Lin Yi walked over, "How much have you collected, and what good books are there?"

"Okay, it's up to you to decide. I didn't bring too many things with me. How about I go back and send them to you. Which one do you like to keep?" the book stall owner said politely.

"Sure, I'll wait for you in the store." Lin Yi responded.

Half an hour later, the owner of the bookstall came to Lin Yi's store with a cart, and there were several cardboard boxes on it, "Brother Wu, is Boss Lin there?"

"Yes, Brother Yi said you would bring the books over, Da Bo and Er Kui, help move upstairs." Xiao Wu shouted.

Dabo Erkui hurriedly helped move the books, and the book stall owner himself carried a box and followed him up to the second floor.

Lin Yi's facade has a second floor in the front and a first floor in the back, with a courtyard in the middle and a front hall as the facade. The upstairs used to be the resting place of the main house, with a living room and a rest room, with a total area of ​​sixty to seventy square meters.

The back square is the staff room and work room. During the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, most of the business in Hanzheng Street was in the mode of shop in front and workshop in back.

Lin Yi's business does not require a workshop, and now they are all vacant, and the staff room has been cleaned up. Li Xiangqian, Jiang Wu, and Ma Dan all have rooms, so they can watch the shop here on weekdays.

Originally, Lin Yi wanted them to live on the second floor, but they refused. Li Xiangqian and Jiang Wu said at the time that the upper floor was naturally reserved for Brother Yi, and they could just live in the backyard.

During the renovation that day, the second floor was also repaired as a whole, the roof was repaired, the walls were repainted and whitewashed, and the windows were polished and oiled. Now the entire second floor is clean and bright, but there is nothing wrong with it.

air.

Except for a deck chair, a tea table and a few bamboo stools in the living room on the second floor, there is nothing else.

According to Lin Yi's words.

A book and a cup of tea,

The sun shines through the window,

The room is bright,
It is enough to read a book leisurely.

"Boss Wang is here, how about a cup of tea first?"

Lin Yi got up and said hello.

"You're welcome. I brought the books. There are more than 200 books in total. You can pick and choose if there are any that you like. If you have any, you can keep them. If you don't, I will take them back." The book stall owner said with a smile.

"Success, let me see."

Opening the cardboard box, it was full, and Lin Yi took out a book. The pages were yellowed, and the title on the cover was [Summary of Chinese Philology].

Flipping through two pages at random, it seems to be about cataloging, reviewing, lectures, translation, compilation, and printing of books.

Check it out and put it aside.

[French Revolutionary War History], Commercial Press, March 29, Guangxu, left.

[Farm Management], [Purchase System Theory], [Scientific Entertainment and Experiments], [Readers for the Anti-Japanese War and Founding of the Nation], and [Modern Women]. They really cover everything.

Forget it, let's keep this box.

Opening the second box, I took out a book that turned out to be "Book of Changes Can Tong Qi". Seeing the Taoist book, I was slightly taken aback, thinking of the past.

Continue scrolling down.

"Book of Changes", "Jinhua Purpose", "Golden Immortal Demonstration", "Taishang Induction", "Nurturing Nature and Prolonging Life", "Zhixuan Visiting Taoism", "Zhonglu Chuandao Collection", "Ziqing Zhixuan Collection", "The Great Sutra of the Jade Emperor's Heart Seal", "The Sutra of Taishang Lingbao Tianzun Said Disasters and Calamities".
"Is this box full of Daoist scriptures?" Lin Yi asked.

"Yes, they are all Daoist scriptures. This box of books comes from a family. According to the book seller, their old man was originally a professor at a university. I believe this. There are many such books at home. When there was trouble a few years ago, This kind of books must be burned, and the old man couldn't bear it, so he got a box to hide them and threw them into the garbage dump in the warehouse."

"The old man died two years ago. When the children were packing up the old man's belongings, they remembered this box of books. They didn't even look at it, so they just threw it aside. Recently, the youngest son got married and cleaned up the house, and found it again, and sold it directly to the collector. Old books. Just this box."

Lin Yi said in his heart that it doesn't hurt to sell his father's land.

"Leave this box alone."

"Hey, good." Boss Wang nodded happily.

Opening the third box, there are many foreign classics, and even English and French books. Lin Yi can't understand these books unless he spends money to buy a language pack.

Flipping through, Lin Yi stopped moving, [Jin Pingmei] hardcover illustrations without deletion, Commercial Press, February 22 of the Republic of China.

Lin Yixin said something good.

This book is worth the box.

"Boss Wang, I have kept all these books, what do you think?" Lin Yi said generously.

The owner of the bookstall was overjoyed: "I don't dare to count it as expensive for you, and don't count it one by one. No matter how thin or thick it is, it is [-] cents a piece. Do you think it will work?"

Fifty cents a book, there are estimated to be more than 200 books here, more than 100 yuan, "Okay, let's take this price, you continue to accept, as long as it is on the book list I gave you, I will want it, my goal is to buy A roomful of books."

"Okay, don't worry."

The book stall owner made half of the profit.

As for getting some rubbish books to fool Lin Yi?
Lin Yi is an absolute long-term high-quality big customer. The more he is like this, the less he dares to fool him, because if you fool him once, there will be no next time.
