Chapter 355: Calculate how much money you make
This time, Mrs. Hua learned it all by herself. She stroked the blue and white porcelain hairpin on her head and said, "Little Second Brother, can you ask your shopkeeper to come over to discuss the hairpin business?"
The waiter was suspicious: "What are you doing? Are you selling hair flowers?"
Old Mrs. Hua nodded and said that she had this on her head.
The waiter's eyes lit up, and he directed Mrs. Hua to sit down in a private seat, then went upstairs to find the shopkeeper. It can be said that as an excellent waiter in a jewelry store, he must have known that the style of this flower would be easy to sell at first glance.
After a while, the owner of the silver shop came down, followed by the waiter.
The shopkeeper was dressed in silk and had a mustache. He looked very smart and had a professional smile on his face.
Song Xiang, the shopkeeper of the silver shop, first bowed and said, "I wonder what kind of hair flower business this lady wants to discuss with me."
Old Mrs. Hua stood up when she saw the owner of the silver shop. This was basic courtesy. Shen Youyou took out another package she was carrying and opened it.
It is filled with various kinds of pearl flowers.
Song Xiang's eyes lit up, and he carefully examined each one.
"Madam, these headbands are indeed novel in style and finely crafted. But I wonder how much they cost..." Song Xiang asked.
This time, Mrs. Hua was very relaxed. She smiled and said, "I can see that you have good taste as the shopkeeper. Otherwise, you would not be able to open such a big silver shop.
The style of our pearl flowers is not found in other jewelry stores. If we sell them in your store, we will definitely attract more customers."
Then Mrs. Hua introduced the prices one by one.
In fact, in the shopkeeper's opinion, this price is really too cheap, especially since these pearl flowers are very lifelike, colorful, with dazzling petals and unique shapes.
Some wealthy ladies can definitely afford to buy it at a high price.
Shen Youyou saw the gleam in the shopkeeper's eyes and said:
"Boss, our business is intended to be a long-term business. If you sell too expensively, only a few people can afford it. It's better to make small profits but quick turnover."
Song Xiang was not annoyed by having his thoughts interrupted. He turned around and looked at the young man in front of him who was wearing a coarse cloth shorts, with a flash of surprise in his eyes.
But he had a different opinion on Shen Youyou's statement. He didn't say anything to Shen Youyou, but said to Old Lady Hua: "Madam, what is this?"
Old Mrs. Hua happily said that this was her grandson.
Song Xiang's eyes were filled with even greater surprise, mainly because of the way the grandparents and grandchildren were dressed. He thought they were just servants.
Shen Youyou understood what he meant and said, "I like wearing this. It's convenient for movement."
Song Xiang obviously didn't believe it, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he explained:
"Jewelry is not food. If you buy one, you can wear it for a long time. Especially if you sell at a low profit but high volume, how many people will buy the same one repeatedly?"
Shen Youyou retorted: "Even if you only sell it to rich people and sell it at a high price, people won't buy the same ones. It's better to sell it at a lower price so that ordinary people can afford it.
What’s more, we will continue to introduce new designs, so there will always be people who will buy them. We can also make a special headpiece and sell it at a higher price, so as to cater to people of all social status.”
Zhao Xiang pondered for a moment and nodded: "Young Master, what you said makes sense. Then let's give it a try. If the sales are good, we will definitely have long-term cooperation in the future."
Shen Youyou said: "You don't have to call me young master, just call me kid, I'm not a young master either."
This package contains two sets of head ornaments, and the rest are single ones.
So the total amount was seventeen taels of silver. Shen Youyou also bought seven taels of silver worth of copper wire, and told the shopkeeper that she could also customize headpieces with silver and gold wire.
After walking a distance from the silver shop, Old Lady Hua said, "I feel that the shopkeeper won't listen to our advice. The things they sell in the shop are too expensive."
Shen Youyou also thought of this. She put her arm around her grandmother and said, "It's okay. We don't send them jewelry every day. You can also set up a stall with the grandmothers at the market.
At that time, the main products we will sell are hairpins that cost five or ten cents, but this kind can also be sold. We can sell it at a slightly higher price, but not too expensive.
Maybe I can sell some of it, not everyone goes to a jewelry store to buy jewelry."
There is nothing they can do about it. After all, they don’t have the money to buy a shop now. If they had the money, they would just open a jewelry shop.
"Grandma, let's save money now, and then we can open a jewelry store like this one."
Old Lady Hua took a deep breath. Her little granddaughter really felt that way. But when she thought about the money she had earned today,
The old lady got excited again, pulling Shen Youyou left and right, making Shen Youyou confused. She hurriedly memorized the route, fearing that they would get lost and unable to find the main road.
"Grandma, what are you doing?"
In a very remote dead end alley, the old lady stopped.
After checking for a long time and looking around to make sure no one was paying attention, Old Lady Hua took out the money she had earned that day from her bosom.
The broken silver and copper coins were placed directly on the package spread on the ground with a crackling sound.
Shen Youyou also squatted down: "Grandma, do you want to ask how much money we made?"
Old Lady Hua nodded hurriedly: "Yoyo, please calculate for me. I'm confused again. After deducting the cost and the share given to your sisters, how much can we earn?"
Shen Youyou chuckled. She could understand that grandma was a little anxious because she couldn't figure out the bill, but why don't you wait until you get home to settle the bill? After all, her brother still had cheap hairpins for sale at his stall.
But Old Lady Hua didn't think so. In her opinion, she had never come into contact with so much money in her entire life.
Let alone the gold cake, which has been returned to the daughter-in-law. It is not her money.
Even she and the old man had never made as much as they did today in their entire lives, so she couldn't wait until she got home to settle the accounts. She had to figure it out right now, deducting the costs and what she had to share with others, to see how much money she could earn.
Shen Youyou sat on the ground, counted out five taels of silver and said, "Not counting the seventy coins sold to the fifth grandmother of the Tang family, we sold a total of fifty-five taels and five cents of silver today, and the cost was about five taels of silver.
After all, I found most of the colors I used myself, and it’s not expensive to buy starch from my father’s group.
The expensive thing is the yellow dye, and the copper wire, oil, alkali, and vinegar cost two taels of silver. But we don’t use much plastic to make jewelry, so it costs about three taels of silver.
Old Lady Hua was very generous. She waved her hand and said, "Don't count it as five taels. Just count it as five taels and five cents."
Shen Youyou continued to settle the accounts with her grandmother with a smile:
"Then today's profit is fifty taels. According to what we discussed before,
Each person gets 30%, which means each of us earns 15 taels. The remaining 40%, which is 20 taels,
This time it was divided equally among the sisters, but when the other grandmothers start selling their jewelry, it will be divided equally between the sisters and the grandmothers.”
"Fifteen taels? Fifteen..."
