Fight the Giants

  Chapter 53 There Are Bank Tickets

   "Follow me." Huo Zhong turned around.

  Huo Xi and Yang Fu looked at each other, their eyes were full of joy, they hurriedly carried the basket on their backs, and followed.

  Huo Zhong handed the two cans of bald butter to his subordinates and led them to a cart. A piece of linoleum was tightly covering something, I don't know what it was.

  Huo Zhong stood still in front of the cart and looked back at them. I don't know why I brought two children who were as big as peas. Even if I gave them the business, would they have money to take it?

   He couldn't help shaking his head and laughing, thinking that he might be dizzy again.

  But he already spoke, and people followed, so it was hard to say anything else.

   Immediately, a corner of the felt was lifted, revealing the things on the cart.

  Huo Xi's eyes lit up, and he knew it was Bu.

  It is the same as what she saw in Zhao Qian’s weaving house. The inside is cloth, and the outside is wrapped in paper to avoid dust. Just by looking at the thin white paper of this bag of cloth, you can tell that the cloth is good cloth.

  Huo Xi's heart suddenly jumped up.

  She can do such an expensive business?

  Huo Zhong looked at the two children and couldn't help being surprised to see their calm faces.

  The big one should be really ignorant, and those who don’t know are fearless. The smaller one, with his mouth pursed, showed no sign of it. But Huo Zhong has dealt with people all the year round, how can he not see this kid's heart?

  It may be because of their young age, some Xingzang have not yet achieved the real Taishan collapse, and their colors have not changed.

   I couldn't help but feel a burst of approval in my heart.

He patted the cloth on the scooter: "These are all silks and satins. They are all dyed. They were taken out from the silk and satin factory and prepared to be transported to Songjiang Wharf. They were traded there and let the sea merchants take them out to sea. It's a pity , Some time ago, it rained heavily, and it was drenched, and mildew was born."

  Huo Zhong caressed the cloth on the car, showing regret.

  They sold raw silk in various parts of Jinling City, Pingjiang Mansion, and Hangzhou Mansion, weaved cloth, and dyed it. It was the goods that sea merchants liked. We transported a full boat to the mouth of the Songjiang River, and we were going to transfer the big boat to go out to sea.

  But who knew it was ruined by a rain. No matter how carefully it is protected, many of the cloths in this batch are stained with mildew.

  Marine merchants don’t want it, so they have to ship it back to the capital, planning to sell it at a discount, or cut it to see if it can be made into embroidery and sell it, so as to get back some of the cost.

  Huo Xi's heart skipped a beat, and he touched the purse in his bosom. There were only one hundred taels of silver bills in it, and a few gold beans and silver beans, while in front of him was a whole cartload of silk.

   "What's the price of this silk?"

  Huo Zhong was taken aback when he saw that he actually asked the price. Does this kid really not understand or is he courageous?

   teased her: "Guess what price we get for a stone of raw silk?"

   Raw silk?

have no idea. But Huo Xi also makes a lot of clothes every season and every month in Zhang's residence, and she roughly knows the price of a piece of silk.

   Calculated roughly in my heart: "I guess, you can't get two hundred taels of silver for a stone of raw silk?"

  Huo Zhong's eyes widened: "You can do it, a fisherman, how did you know the price of raw silk?"

  Huo Xi knew she was right.

   Then he told him about the fact that he went to the village to collect all kinds of linen some time ago.

  Huo Zhong thought she asked Zhihu.

Not hiding from her, she nodded: "It is true that the raw silk is less than two hundred taels of stone. But what we collect will be sent to Zhifang for weavers to weave into various kinds of cloth, and then sent to the dyeing house for dyeing, and then shipped to Songjiang and Haishang Make a deal. The price of a horse cannot be lowered. When it is shipped to Napersia, Java, Managa, Semu and other places, the price will double."

  If this batch of cloth is sold out, their shop can make a lot of money. Unfortunately, several cars were lost. Those maritime merchants are very picky, and they don't want any flaws.

   "Then what price do you plan to sell these cloths?"

  Huo Zhong glanced at her: "Although this has flaws, it is still silk. Are you sure you want to see it?"

  Huo Xi nodded: "If I can afford it."

  Huo Zhong laughed: "How much can you afford? This is not Ge Ma."

   "Can I have a look at the cloth?" Huo Xi didn't say his reserve price either.

  Huo Zhong raised his eyebrows: "Of course." After speaking, he untied a piece of cloth, grabbed the end of the cloth, shook it several times, and the cloth rolled a few times, and several feet of cloth were exposed.

  As soon as the silk cloth was opened, Huo Xi suddenly thought of a slogan in his mind: "Enjoy silkiness now."

  Under the sun, these silk cloths are shining brightly and feel extremely smooth. The silk material is still comfortable. The Ge Ma on her body is completely incomparable.

  However, it is a pity that there are dots of mold spots on it, and some of them are still a large piece of mold.

  Huo Xi immediately thought of many ways to deal with the mildew. But if you don't try it, you don't know if it will work.

   Then Huo Zhong and Huo Zhong opened up a whole bolt of silk to see how many were complete. If you can't remove it, cut it off, go to the village to find someone to embroider and make clothes to sell, I don't know how much you can cut. Can make money.

  Seeing Huo Xi frown at the mildew spots on the cloth.

  Huo Zhong thought for a while, then said: "If you want, I will give you one horse and three taels."

  Yang Fu stared round his eyes. He swallowed his saliva. One horse three two! He can buy twenty horses for the Gema on his body.

  Huo Xi shook his head: "Your price is too harsh."

  Huo Zhong said: "Since you know the price of raw silk, you know that my weaving will cost a lot."

"That's right. You still have to pay labor, various costs of running a business, and weaving and dyeing. Otherwise, how can you say that silk is more expensive than gold. But if I buy it back, even if I find Qiao Niang, use the weaving pattern to weave and dye it. The mildew is covered, and I just ask for the embroiderer's money, which costs me a lot, and this method may not work. This cloth is cut out, and 30% of it is not complete."

  Huo Zhong saw that this boy was discussing business with him in a serious manner. Not only did he know the price of raw silk, but he also knew the estimated cost of weaving, weaver's wages, manager's wages, and operating costs. He couldn't help being surprised.

  Is this kid from a business at home? Can't help but look her back and forth.

  Looking back at the cloth of the cart. A few carts have already been transported back to the shop, and the embroiderers in the embroidery village will have a headache dealing with those carts of cloth, which will delay their serious business in vain.

After thinking for a while, he said, "Boy, since you want it, I want to sell it too, so tell me the price you can accept. If it's suitable, I'll give you priority in selling those two cans of bald butter to you. But you have to have money first, in business, I won’t give you money on credit.”

  Two boys braved the scorching sun and fought against the porters for work at the pier. Can they get enough money to buy silk?

   Don't entertain him here.

  Huo Xi knows that he is a mess in the business field, and he can read people's eyes to figure out people's hearts. He is a small person, and he will not cover up many things, and he is afraid of going too far. So generously, he revealed his bottom line to him.

  He took out the purse from his bosom, asked Yang Fu to pocket the hem of his clothes, and dumped the contents of the purse on it.

   "That's all I have."

  Huo Zhong saw that in the hem of his clothes was a bank note, a few gold beans, and a few silver beans.

  The silver ticket has not been opened yet, so I don't know how much it is.

   I was very surprised that these two poor fishermen who came to the wharf to compete with others and earn a few copper coins a day, could actually get a silver ticket!

   I haven’t eaten fruit for a long time. So hungry. When the epidemic is over, I will eat five meals a day, as a meal, until I vomit. snort.
