Chapter 29 The Big Purchase

After receiving the exact news from Gao Wu, Tao Bao began to make preparations.

After teaching Daiyu in the morning, Tao Bao went out with the bank notes he had exchanged from the pawn shop.

These days, Lin Ruhai and his wife are preparing to return to Beijing. It's not like she just stayed in the mansion and did nothing. She had a clear understanding of the shops and workshops in Yangzhou City early on.

Although Tao Bao doesn't know the specific sailing route, but with the current level of technology, it may not be possible to go to places that are too far away. If the destination is the United Kingdom, it is said that the Indian Ocean crosses the Red Sea and then reaches the Mediterranean Sea, and then crosses the Strait of Gibraltar to the east of the Atlantic Ocean. Coast, which is the fastest route.

However, this method passes through too many countries, and people nowadays probably don’t know much about Western countries. The most likely option is to take the South China Sea from the Strait of Malacca to the Indian Ocean, then cross the Indian Ocean to the Cape of Good Hope in Africa, and then travel along the east coast of the Atlantic Ocean to England. Channel, reaching England.

If we take this route, we won’t pass through many countries, so we shouldn’t stop in these countries for too long except for supplies. Tao Bao will have to pass first to get off the ship and exchange.

Porcelain silk here is the most popular in the West, and porcelain is easily damaged during transportation. The main purchase point of Taobao is set on silk, and some porcelain will be brought, but not a lot.

Tao Bao also plans to purchase some various embroidery products to try out. After all, these ornaments and screens made of various embroidery products look really stylish, and I think those capitalists will definitely be interested in them.

And there is a system warehouse, she is not worried about the loss of goods on the way.

After making up his mind, Tao Bao first went to the largest embroidery workshop in Yangzhou City to place an order. As long as small ornaments within half a meter, some exquisite small embroidery items, handkerchief purses, etc., it cost a thousand taels The bank note made the boss laugh from ear to ear.

Then he went to a pottery kiln outside the city and ordered five pairs of half-meter-high blue and white porcelain vases, plus ten sets of dishes. Tao Bao planned to store these things in the system warehouse so as not to take up too much weight.

After spending another 500 taels of silver, Tao Bao brought the contract and the 500 taels of silver that the kiln owner found to the largest silk and satin village in Yangzhou City, the Wu Family Silk and Satin Village.

This place occupies a very large area. The main gate of Zhuangzi opens on the left side of the main street. On the right side are shops facing the street. Behind them are residences and weaving workshops. It is a large weaving workshop integrating production and sales.

Apart from the official weaving factory, the Wu family's silk and satin shop is the largest.

Tao Bao now has 500 taels left in his hand. Excluding import and export tariffs and spares, the usable amount is only about 3000 taels. According to the wholesale price Tao Bao inquired about, 3000 taels should be able to buy [-] medium-sized silks and satins. It's also a big deal.

Now the key point is whether they have so much stock for her that she needs, after all, there are orders from other customers.And if she doesn't buy in a centralized manner and won't get the wholesale price, she will lose at least five bolts of silk and satin, which is not worth it.

The person who greeted Tao Bao was the second manager in the store. When he heard that Tao Bao wanted a hundred horses in stock, he knew that he couldn't be the master, so he was replaced by the second young master of the Wu family.

At the beginning, I heard that Tao Bao wanted a hundred horses, and the second young master of the Wu family was smiling, but then he heard that Tao Bao wanted spot goods, and the second young master of the Wu family said that they couldn’t do it. They couldn't give Tao Bao all the orders at once.

Tao Bao was helpless. She had no reputation and couldn't gain face. Isn't it normal for others not to give her face?

However, you still have to fight for it.

"Can you produce a hundred horses in ten days?" Tao Bao asked.

Second Young Master Wu smiled helplessly: "There is really no way around it. It will take at least a month to deliver one hundred pieces of cloth to you."

Tao Bao rolled his eyes speechlessly, slapped the table and yelled: "Second Young Master, if you don't want to do this business, just say it. Isn't it interesting to waste time by beating around the bush? For a workshop as big as yours, you only need one for a hundred horses." Yue, are you kidding me?"

The fleet can go out of the South China Sea in a month, who will she sell her silk and satin to?

Seeing a girl from Tao Bao clapping the table and rolling her eyes, Second Young Master Wu expressed that he was frightened, so he hurriedly got up and persuaded:
"Girl, please calm down first. There is no reason not to do business. It's just that the previous order must be completed first. It can't be broken. The rules are not, you see, if this is the case, there are still [-] horses in the warehouse for you first, and the rest We can pick up the goods in mid-February, what do you think?"

"Not so good!" It was completely meaningless for her to make money by taking thirty horses abroad. Tao Bao naturally disagreed.

"That girl, you can't wait, and we have nothing to do. I'm really sorry."

The second young master Wu smiled and bowed to Tao Bao, raised his hand as a gesture of invitation, which meant, I will not serve you anymore, go to whichever house you like!

Tao Bao was so angry that he wanted to force her to use her trump card.

"Can I ask whose order is ahead?" Tao Bao smiled again.

In order to make Tao Bao give up, the second young master Wu said bluntly: "Wang's cloth village in the south of the city, his wife is the cousin of the magistrate's wife."

Second Young Master Wu thought that the girl should give up now, but he didn't think so, the girl slapped the table, pointed at his nose and laughed loudly:

"You wait for me, I will come back in half an hour!"

As soon as the voice fell, the person disappeared, which frightened the second young master Wu. Could it be that he was looking for someone to smash his shop?
Facts proved that he was overthinking, Tao Bao came back within half an hour, holding a receipt in his hand.

He slapped it on the table with a rather arrogant attitude.

"Go, I'll get the goods for my aunt!"

Tao Bao crossed Erlang's legs, glanced at Second Young Master Wu slyly, picked up the teacup on the table and drank it, and then praised: "Good tea!"

Second Young Master Wu picked up the receipt on the table. This is the receipt from their Zhuangzi to Wang's cloth shop. Now there are a few more words on it: voluntary transfer to Tao Bao.

Seeing that the person was standing still, Tao Bao knocked on the tea lid and urged: "Hurry up and get the goods!"

"Yes." Second Young Master Wu concealed the shock in his heart, and ordered the steward to pick up the goods and load them into the truck.

Swallowing hard, he looked at the uncle-like Tao Bao and asked anxiously, "Where should I send this stuff?"

"The Lin family." Tao Bao replied with a smile.

Second Young Master Wu stopped asking. Seeing the girl's arrogant look, there was no need to ask which Lin family she belonged to.

After a busy day, Tao Bao had basically arranged all the arrangements. He only had to wait five days to pick up the goods from the embroidery building and the porcelain from the kiln, and everything would be ready.

Looking at the piles of silk and satin cloth in the study, Tao Bao squinted her eyes and smiled. She found that using clay balls to coax people was quite effective, and she could continue to develop them in the future.

Thinking of the way Boss Wang was scared to death before, Tao Bao laughed unkindly.

Although she used some tricks, she did not miss the money that should be given. The 3000 taels of silver were only given to Boss Wang of Wang's Cloth Village.

Now everything is ready, only Lin Ruhai and his wife agree to start.
