In the Western Regions, there were many things that were not available in the Central Plains. If they could use the flower-filled channels and spread them to the Western Regions, their business would be even bigger.
She went downstairs and pushed her way through the crowd. There were many strange plants and plants under the feet of the merchant, and many things like ivory and bear's paw.
"Miss, buy some."
Seeing that she was lost in thought, Hu Shang, who was standing in the middle, grinned at her and said in a harsh Central Plains language: "These are all good things, you don't have them in your Central Plains."
Su Zhi didn't expose him and only smiled.
Due to geographical constraints, the Grand Wei only lacked some tropical fruits and plants. The crystal agates and ivory crafts laid out on the carpet were not difficult to find. There were even many pieces that were more expensive and more exquisite than these pieces.
Waiting until all the items had been sold, the spectators lost their interest and dispersed one by one. Only then did Su Zhi pick up a bunch of dried up trees on the ground and stare blankly.
The three Hu merchants were stunned. Along the way, they had sold a lot of things. None of the seedlings they brought with them had been sold. They were still discussing if they could not sell today, so they threw it away. Now, seeing Su Zhi staring blankly at the few saplings, they all stared at her in anticipation.
"This is pepper, right?"
For the time being, the Great Wei didn't have this as a seasoning ingredient.
Not only that, there were also many species of Pineapple and Leek in the stall.
"Miss is right, it's just that the people of Central Plains don't like it."
Su Zhi found it funny. It wasn't that she didn't eat it, but that she didn't use it the right way. It was pretty good to grind pepper to make seasoning.
"I'll buy all of these. Give me a price, boss."
Hearing that the goods were being sold, the three Hu merchants got excited. Afraid that Su Zhi would go back on her word, they exchanged glances and tried saying, "Two taels of silver, go ahead and take it. We won't earn anything this time, just give us a fare."
"Sure, deal!"
Su Zhi straightforwardly opened her mouth and paid the bill.
All the seedlings that no one wanted to buy at the stalls had been taken away by her.
When he carried the pile of half-dead seedlings back, Li Yi still felt it was strange, so he pointed at the things in her arms and asked what they were.
Su Zhi busied herself with digging holes in the yard and watering the plants, as if she had picked up a big bargain.
"Why would I want to buy these things? Whether I can survive or not is a question."
"Yes, I'll carefully raise them. They shouldn't be a problem."
Li Yi was extremely puzzled. "But are these things that I've never seen before of any use in buying them?"
As Su Zhi watered the seedlings, she replied, "I do. Look at this. It's called pepper. The raw fruit can be used as seasoning. This one's for seasoning. There's also these spices. "
"But these kinds of things don't necessarily mean that people are in the habit of eating them. What do we do if we can't sell them all?"
"Don't worry Big Brother Li. Even if I can't sell it, I can still use it myself."
He was afraid that once he figured out how to use them, the supply would be insufficient.
She had faith in the Chinese people's commitment to food. If she wanted delicious food, there would be a lot of seasonings.
When the summer came, he would sell some cold vegetables mixed with pepper. The sales would definitely be very good.
"Oh yeah, those businessmen outside haven't left, right? Brother Li, please do me a small favor. I would like to invite them to the second floor."
Li Yi squatted down and looked at the seedling in the yard. He asked in confusion, "What are you trying to do now?"
"Doing business. I want to discuss something with those Hu men." You see, they have it, we don't have it, we have it, they don't have it. Mutual assistance, mutual benefit and mutual benefit, so that Flowerhouse can sell more and more things to buy, and the flow of customers will also become bigger and bigger. "
Li Yi thought about it for a moment and felt that it was reasonable, so he didn't refuse and hurriedly went to see the Hu merchants outside to invite them.
The few people who were packing their luggage were once again invited back by Su Zhi. Seeing her, the slightly younger man in the lead cupped his hands and bowed, following the etiquette of the Central Plains, "What business does the lady have with us?"
After inviting them to sit down, she went straight to the point. "I won't hide it from you all, I'm the new manager of this Flowerland Tower. The reason I called you all here for a reunion is to expand our business."
The younger man slightly nodded his head and said, "I wonder what kind of business this lady would like to do with the three of us."
Su Zhi smiled. "Call me Little Su. Since we're all open-minded people, I won't beat around the bush." To put it bluntly, the current scale of my shop depends on the sale of goods in all directions. I need many things that other shops cannot purchase, but customers also need. In this way, we will need various sources of goods, such as those that you brought from the Western Regions but not from the Central Plains. "
It was only after hearing her explanation that they understood her intentions.
Su Zhi poured tea for the three of them and once again said politely, "Naturally, the things that you people brought over from home or elsewhere, as long as you can put them in my shop, you won't have to worry about the sales, and you can also avoid the difficult situation of selling things on the streets."
The young man in the lead rubbed his chin and said thoughtfully: "Little Su is trying to earn some money from this."
Having been seen through, Su Zhi wasn't embarrassed. She replied straightforwardly, "That's right, I can provide you with a good market. This is exactly what you lack. "As long as you do business here in the capital, you can sell everything you have here. You can sell everything you have as well as take back your money as quickly and efficiently as possible. Don't you kill two birds with one stone?"
Before the young man could reply, a middle-aged man with short hair and a beard spoke up in his ear. "Ai, this is a good way to go. Once we have a place to sell our goods, we won't have to wander around.
"That's right. In this way, we will be able to move the goods freely. Anyway, we won't have to worry about not having a place to sell them."
The other person also agreed.
The man called Ai Ai, however, did not agree very quickly. He smiled at Su Zhi and leisurely said, "Then is it that we can sell anything at this shop? Once we switch hands, will we really be able to sell the item and not be in charge of it? "
Su Zhi smiled and shook her head, "Of course not. You saw it too. Not every item you brought all the way here can be sold successfully. Since we are cooperating, we have to sign a contract. I will give you a general idea of what the people of Great Wei require, what they lack for money to sell, and what they are unable to sell in the market. You need to sign a contract. Although the item is for sale in my store, I am just a person who changed hands. Naturally, I will give you guys a portion of the deposit. If you can't sell the item, then pay the other one. If you can't sell it, then press it down. "
Ai shrugged and said, "Little Su, you mean we should take responsibility. Do you want to earn money?" In any case, it doesn't matter whether you sell it or not.
"You can't put it like that. We will accept all of your goods. Some things can't be sold, but we have already paid for this portion of silver. It's not like you guys are losing out." At the same time we took over your goods, we also took on the risks and responsibilities. After all, we paid the first payment and we would have to wait until the goods were sold before we could give the last payment.
Ai Hui laughed out loud and looked at the shrewd yet innocent woman. He had come to the Central Plains several times, and this was the first time he had met a woman who could not handle business.
Although this method didn't sound like a loss to them, it wasn't by much either. Having come this far with all these goods, even though he had the means to sell them, it was not a good thing.
Not only did this woman want to make a difference, she was also unwilling to take the risk of selling the difference. This kind of logic sounded normal, but it was actually quite profound.
"If little Su is sincere and wants to work with us, then we have to be sincere. Otherwise, we can find other stores for the distribution system."
Su Zhi snorted nonchalantly and replied confidently, "I'm sorry, I'm the only store in the entire Great Wei. Even if you're not afraid of trouble, you can find a few more shops to work with. The price might not be as high as mine."
Ai Hui stopped his arrogant attitude and softened his attitude. He then asked, "How much is Su Bai willing to take out?"
Su Zhi stretched out her hand and answered, "Fifth floor. As long as you give me the goods, I will convert them to the market price and give you half of the cash. Remember, it's all the goods, including those that might not be sold. This is only the first price. Once the item is sold, another two layers will be paid. "
It did sound tempting. He just wanted to buy it from the same person, so he wouldn't have to suffer all over the place.
"Moreover, you may not necessarily suffer as a result of this transaction. If luck was good, everything would be sold, saving both the pain of a wasted trip and time and labor costs. "Our shop also needs manpower to manage the storage and sale of goods. We will not make a profit of three floors."
A'Ai thought carefully for a while before discussing in a low voice with the other two people, speaking a language that Su Zhi did not understand.
Regarding the result, Su Zhi was not anxious at all. This was a win-win situation, they would not refuse.
Sure enough, after a short discussion, Ah Ai raised her head and looked at the woman who was leisurely drinking her tea.
"This business, we'll take it!"
"Good!" Satisfying! Please have a seat. I'll go draw up a contract. I'll be right back. "
When Su Zhi walked out of the living room, Li Yi, who was guarding outside, quickly followed, "Little Su, I calculated that if we took the money at that rate just now, we would have lost. It's not a loss. We wouldn't have earned it anyway."
"Yeah, I know."
Li Yi was stupefied. "Since you don't want to earn money, then why are you doing this business? You're wasting your time and aren't trying to curry favor with me!"
