The Age of Awakening: From the Young Runtu

Chapter 101 Letters
Three days later, the goods were all purchased.

First, 3000 taels of silver were given.

As for the remaining part, it is agreed to give it later.

This time, Runtu had almost 6000 taels of silver in his hand.

With so much money, I think I can almost buy another batch of guns.

Guns, even if you don't need them now, you can stock them up for now.

The current business is mainly medicinal materials.

Although there is a military business, the owners of the nearby drugstores have to take care of them.

Especially in Shaoxing and Hangzhou, there are more orders in these two places.

Runtu is going to go to Shaoxing for a business trip.

From Kuaiji nearest.

When I came to Shaoxing, I first went to the branch of Xiada Pharmacy, met Xia Maotou, and stayed here for one night to see the situation of the branch.

On the second day, I went to the largest medicine merchant in Shaoxing.

He took his name card and sent it in.

Immediately the master came out, "Ruosong, I want to punish you. When you arrive in Shaoxing, why don't you come to my place as soon as possible."

Runtu's medicine is very good, it is the best product sold in his shop.

He not only sells it in Shaoxing, but also sells it to other places.

Banlangen is not worried about selling at all.

Looking at Runtu is like seeing the God of Wealth.

"Of course it should be punished. Didn't you come here? I thought shopkeeper Lin was busy and didn't want to disturb you."

"How can you say such a thing, you are welcome to come anytime."

Good wine and good food are entertained.

The specifications are pretty good.

A pair of red candles were burning high in the hall, the tables and chairs were replaced with red satin flat gold armchairs, and four brand-new palace lanterns were hung in front of the eaves, as if to welcome distinguished guests.

"what is this?"

Runtu: "Taste the homemade rice wine."

"Why do you bring your own drinks when you come to my place?"

Men basically like to drink a couple of sips.

"This wine is really different and tastes better."

He is also a drinker, and he can feel it.

When the time comes, I still want to start a wine business.

After eating something, I left and went to meet several bosses.

Coincidentally, I ran into Xiao Cui again.

This time I went back to her home.

There is also a younger brother in her family, about fifteen or sixteen years old, slightly younger than Runtu.

Xiaocui's father hurriedly asked her younger brother to say hello.

"Call Master Zhang."

Runtu interrupted him, "Don't call me master, call me sir."

He also felt that calling the master was a bit of a mouthful, so he readily responded, "Mr. Zhang."

Runtu looked at him, he was tall and fair, with a very delicate face, a bit like his sister, and with a bit of makeup.People look more delicate.

"You look familiar, you look a lot like your sister."

Xiaocui: "Mr. Zhang, can my younger brother do things with you? He has studied for two years."

Xiaocui knew about Runtu's industry, so she would definitely be no different if she followed Runtu, much better than singing and singing everywhere.

Runtu took a look at him, he was not bad looking, his first impression was not bad, "How old are you?"

"15 years old?"

"What will it be?"

"Learned about the cloth shop business? But the business of the cloth shop was not good and I didn't do it anymore, and the shopkeeper couldn't do it either."

He used to work in a homemade cloth shop.

Shaoxing is very close to the sea, especially in Shanghai, where there are many foreign factories.

The business of foreign cloth is better, and the run on homemade cloth cannot continue.

The output of foreign cloth is large, the quality is not bad at all, and there are even more styles.

With so many advantages, the homemade cloth business is very difficult to do.

Runtu: "How long has it been? Are you full of teachers?"

"Just full."

As an apprentice, you need to help the teacher for three years after finishing your studies, but since all the homespun shops have closed down, naturally you don't have to pay attention to it.

Zhang Runtu: "What do you want to do in the future? You are a student of the cloth business. Do you know raw silk and satin?"

"Knowledge is. But the cloth store I was in before didn't have many goods, and I have never seen some expensive silks and satins."

Runtu: "It doesn't matter if you haven't seen it, you will see it in the future. The most important thing to do business is to have an abacus. Can you do arithmetic? How about this, you bring the abacus and I will test you."

The abacus and the scale are all necessities, as long as the family can afford them, they will definitely sell them.

"Are you ready? There are pheasant rabbits in the same cage today. There are 35 heads on the top and 94 feet on the bottom. How many are the pheasant rabbits?"

I asked again about the chicken and the rabbit in the same cage.

This solves problems with equations very quickly.

It may be a little slower to fiddle with the abacus.

Chickens and rabbits in the same cage, the test is not only arithmetic, but also logical wisdom.If you can answer this question, your IQ is not bad.

When the students in his college were not taught equations, only a very small number of them could calculate them.

He lived up to expectations, with his five fingers fluttering, he moved the abacus beads crisply and smoothly, and he knew he was a good player just by hearing the sound of big beads and small beads falling into a jade plate.When the sound stops, report the result: "Twelve rabbits and 23 chickens."

Runtu is quite satisfied with Xiaocui's younger brother: "You can learn how to do business. However, just because you have a good memory and quick abacus, you can't do anything else. You can only do small business. Big business is another matter. A set of skills can’t be exhausted for a while. You follow me, and you will gradually understand. Today I will tell you a word. Can it be done, can't it be done? If you can't do it, you can't promise others, and if you promise others, you must do it. The most important thing in business is integrity. What's your name?"

"Zhou Qingshan."

Zhou Qingshan nodded, and when Runtu finished speaking, he replied respectfully: "I will remember it. Thank you, Mr. Zhang."

Zhang Runtu: "Have you ever been to Shanghai Beach?"

"Never been."

"What about Hangzhou?"

"Never been."

"I'm not familiar with Shaoxing and Kuaiji."

"Average."

Runtu went directly to the space to write a letter in English.

"I would like to ask you to go to Shanghai Beach and give my letter to a man named David. David usually hangs out at Xingyi Foreign Firm, so you can go there to find him. Poor Jiafulu, I will give you ten taels silver."

The cost on the beach side is high.

Runtu gave him twelve taels directly.

The letter was about guns.

To find David to order another batch of guns.

This time I directly bought 5000 taels of silver.

Such a big business, David will definitely not let it go.

But it is estimated that his goods will not be ready all at once.

So ask someone to let him take the letter over first.

It can also be sent by mail.

However, it is safer to arrange for this kind of information about buying guns.

Shanghai Beach is not too far.

But it's not close, and Runtu won't pass without any major events.

It happens to be a test of whether this young man can handle things well.

He took the money and went out immediately, looking more determined.
