Chapter 194 Lacquerware
But now, only a few months after its opening, Guangying Merchant has made such a large sum of money on the latest lacquerware, making colleagues jealous.Some think that he just happened to be lucky, while others think that he has a unique vision.

But Ji Sishui and his wife knew that Fang Jinshu had sent them to Yangzhou on Jiangnan Road to buy this batch of lacquerware, and it was not their fault at all.

The craftsmanship of lacquerware is complex and exquisite, time-consuming to make, and the price remains high. The purchase of this batch of lacquerware cost more than half of the cash in the store.At the beginning, Mrs. Han had some opinions on this decision, worrying that the cash would not be enough and it would be difficult to turn around.It was Ji Sishui who made up his mind and went to Yangzhou to buy it himself.

Gorgeous and exquisite lacquerware is placed on the shelves, and many people ask for it, but few people buy it.In the past two months, only two or three pieces have been sold.At this time, Miss Han stopped complaining, and just tried her best to sell.

Just a few days ago, the number of people coming to buy lacquerware suddenly increased.After one question, all the important officials in the court and the families of princes wanted to buy them.

The reason is that the magistrate of Yangzhou sent tributes to the palace. Among them was a lacquer screen with twelve golden lacquer inlaid with marble and golden auspicious patterns, which was deeply loved by the empress dowager Xiao of the current dynasty and was full of praise.Seeing this, Empress Cao ordered people to buy lacquerware from the people, and after selection, they were sent to Yanqing Palace for the daily use of the Empress Dowager.

The movement in the palace, these powerful families are watching all the time.Today's emperor is extremely filial to his mother, but Empress Dowager Xiao never seizes power and refrains from politics. She is willing to hand over the power of the harem, which makes the emperor admire her even more.

Empress Dowager Xiao loved lacquerware, and everyone was worried that there was no way to please this low-key queen mother. When such a thing happened, they all looked for ways to buy high-quality lacquerware and sent it to the palace for various reasons.

Yangzhou was too far away, and lacquerware was not very popular in Beijing. Except for the complete sets at Guangying Merchant Store, what could be bought were only a few scattered pieces, which could not be sent to the palace at all.

The capital city is big if you say it is big, or small if you say it is small.When a steward of the Duke's Mansion came to Guangying Merchandise and bought a set of gold and red lacquer flower and bird boxes for the palace. After Empress Dowager Xiao picked two out to hold melons and fruits, the name of Guangying Merchandising All of a sudden, it spread among these powerful families.

Ji Sishui suppressed his heart and was ecstatic, and raised the price by [-]% quietly, which couldn't stop the enthusiasm of these people.

Housekeepers and stewards came to the door one after another, and swept away all the lacquerware in the store.In addition to those complete sets, large pieces, and some single pieces with special shapes were also bought.

After it was sold out, people continued to come to the door asking to buy.They were all dignitaries in the dynasty, how could he dare to offend, he had no choice but to lead people into the warehouse to check, which convinced them all.

After these few days of hustle and bustle, Ji Sishui immediately asked Mrs. Han to come to the door with a gift.This incident made the husband and wife more and more convinced that behind Fang Jinshu, there must be a hidden expert's guidance, and they should not be neglected.

After listening to Miss Han's words, Fang Jinshu smiled slightly, not surprised.

Sending palace people to buy lacquerware was what she personally ordered in her previous life. At that time, the rich and powerful also bought it in Beijing, but most of them were shipped from Yangzhou after more than half a month.The basic necessities of life in the palace will become the fashion in Luoyang City. With such a prophet in front of her, it is easy for her to make some money.

The only thing to worry about is not to attract Wei Yixin's attention.

"At the end of the year, I didn't expect to have this kind of income." Fang Jinshu said with a smile: "Senior can pinch and count, but he only said that the lacquerware must be a big hit."

The more she said this, the more Mrs. Han thought she was telling the truth, and said: "It's almost the Chinese New Year. The head of the family said that this year's profit will be [-]% for you. We specially honor that senior. I want to entrust the girl Take a message and thank the seniors for us."

Fang Jinshu accepted it graciously, and said: "Okay, I will definitely bring it." Based on her previous life experience, she has many ways to make money, and this [-]% interest is nothing.Responding down, just to reassure their hearts.

Sure enough, Mrs. Han breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "I told the master that if I could buy more of this batch of lacquerware at the beginning, I would earn more now."

"My lady's words are wrong." Fang Jinshu shook his head and said, "Things are rare and valuable, and if there are too many, they are worthless." Except for the first lacquerware presented to the palace that could be used by Empress Dowager Xiao, those who entered Yanqing Palace one after another The lacquerware must have all gone into the warehouse.

Lady Han is now a businessman, but she really doesn't know how to do business.After carefully chewing this sentence, he said: "What the girl said is that I said why the head of the family disagreed with me, but he couldn't understand it. Let me know what you say."

"Please tell me, girl, how to buy after spring begins?"

Fang Jinshu pondered for a while and said, "The more expensive you buy Yangzhou lacquerware, the easier it is to sell it back in Beijing. But don't buy too much, it must be unique in style, and a few pieces will be put out for sale every month."

After this incident, the goods dealers in Beijing and China will go to Yangzhou to buy.Even if the palace is no longer used, these powerful families will definitely buy a few to show that they are closely following the pace of the palace.

At this time, those ordinary lacquer ware will definitely not be noticed by the rich and powerful.To stand out from the crowd, the utensils used by nature must also be unique.

After thinking about it for a while, Mrs. Han understood the reason, and readily agreed.

With the incident of lacquerware, Guangying Merchant Co., Ltd. became famous in Luoyang City.Don't take such a risk anymore.Fang Jinshu picked up a few unremarkable goods that had nothing to do with the palace, and asked Guangying Merchant to buy them.

"For the rest, shopkeeper Ji Da can figure it out. Even if you lose money, I believe that seniors will not blame you."

Ji Sishui is a very capable person, he can be said to be proficient in one line of work.With the few goods she ordered, even if he lost his eyes for a while, the goods store would not lose money, it would just be less profitable.

Fang Jinshu believed that as long as he was given enough time and accumulated enough experience, he would be a competent shopkeeper.

"Thank you so much, miss." Mrs. Han hurriedly left her seat to thank her.From her point of view, Fang Jinshu said that, in front of the seniors, he took the responsibility for their losses, which had to move her.

At such a young age, with such a broad mind, it's no wonder that the expert chose her to speak for him.

"Please get up quickly. I can't afford your gift." Fang Jinshu got up quickly and helped her up.

Lady Han smiled indifferently, and said: "Now I am a businessman's wife, and you are a lady of an official's family. To be on an equal footing with you is considered a compliment, why can't I be honored?"

After hiding her name in Luoyang City, she adapted very well to her new identity.Being able to live and fly with Ji Sishui, she can let go of everything, let alone an identity.

Fang Jinshu smiled and said, "I saw you today, and I know what a makeover is."

From body shape to face, Miss Han has completely changed.
