Chapter 133 Strategy
Chapter 133 Strategy
At first, he just thought that the price of this colored glaze was not too expensive. He had been traveling around the grasslands for many years, and he knew best that the Huns were not the raw meat eaters who drank blood in the eyes of the Dayan people. They also liked to enjoy themselves.
Every time he brought silk jewelry, it was sold out.
However, although the price of this glass was not expensive, it was only not expensive compared to the glass sold elsewhere, so he did not dare to take more and only took two sets.
He was thinking of testing the sales. If the Huns liked it, he would just take more next time.
What he didn't expect was that the Huns liked the Eagle glass tableware very much, and if he hadn't promised that he could bring the same glass tableware again, they would have fought.
This also made him see business opportunities.
Shopkeeper He greeted Liu Youwei with a smile, "Boss Liu, to be honest, the tableware you requested is out of stock now."
"Out of stock?!" Liu Youwei's face changed, "How come it's out of stock! I'm in a hurry to get it."
"Boss Liu, Boss Liu, don't be anxious, listen to me." Shopkeeper He soothed, "You have also seen the set of eagle bowls and plates. The eagle on it is lifelike, and it took a lot of effort to make it.
There are only ten sets in the warehouse for this opening. The quality of these things cannot be hidden from others. There are many people who have the same good vision as you, Boss Liu.
I won’t hide it from you, the store has only been open for three days and the ten sets of Eagle dishes have already been sold out.”
Manager He had said so much that Liu Youwei could only accept it. "When will the new batch arrive? Can I order it?"
"I sent a letter to the owner right after the first batch was sold out. I estimate it will arrive in the next two days."
Hearing him say this, Boss Liu's face lit up with joy again. He had just returned from the Xiongnu and was originally going to rest for a few days before leaving to go to other places in Dayan to purchase some goods. It would only take a day or two, so he could afford to wait.
Boss Liu does business on both sides. He buys tea, silk and other things from Dayan and sells them to the Xiongnu. He then sells sheep and other things collected from the Xiongnu to Dayan.
"Then I'll order a batch first. Shopkeeper He, you must leave ten sets for me. No, leave twenty sets."
It just so happened that he was going to go to the south to buy some tea and silk, so he would take ten sets with him when he went and see if he could sell them. It didn't matter if he couldn't, because he could bring them back and sell them to the Huns.
Thinking of this, Liu Youwei seemed to have seen the scene of himself earning a lot of money.
"Since Boss Liu said so, I will definitely try my best to arrange it for you, but I can't guarantee the specific details." Shopkeeper He said with a smile.
"Of course, of course. But whether it succeeds or not, I, Liu Youwei, will accept your favor."
"Boss Liu, look at what you are saying. We opened the store to do business, relying on customers like you. This is what we should do. You are embarrassing me by saying this."
Liu Youwei is a businessman and knows best that this is the way business people talk, but he still felt very comforted by his words.
"Okay then, let's do this for now. I'll come back in two days." Liu Youwei was about to leave after saying this. He came here straight after returning from the grassland because he was afraid that the goods would be out of stock. But then again, he was not the only one who knew the goods.
"Boss Liu, wait a moment." Shopkeeper He stopped him. "Now that you're here, don't leave in a hurry. We have a lot of other good things in our store. Do you want to take a look?"
Liu Youwei paused and thought, well, since he was already here, he might as well take a look.
"That's right," Liu Youwei glanced at the lobby, "You do have a lot of good stuff here, so I'll trouble Shopkeeper He to help."
"Don't bother, don't bother. To be honest, I have some treasures here that I won't tell ordinary people about."
Liu Youwei's eyes lit up, "Really?"
"Of course." Shopkeeper He said mysteriously, "Let's go to the second floor wing. I'll have someone bring all the things over."
Liu Youwei followed Manager He up to the second floor.
The waiter on the first floor couldn't help shaking his head as he looked at yet another guy being fooled by the shopkeeper, but he was somewhat accustomed to it. There were at least three or four people like this who were fooled by their shopkeeper every day, if not five or six.
Sun Lei witnessed the conversation between Shopkeeper He and Liu Youwei from beginning to end. After they went up to the second floor, he raised his eyebrows and said, "This shopkeeper is a talent."
"Young Master?" Geng Li said, "The colored glaze in this store is of very good quality and the price is indeed not expensive."
Just now he specifically asked the guy next to him about the prices of various types of colored glass. Compared with outside, the colored glass here is at least 20% cheaper.
"In that case, we have to pay a good visit to the owner here." Sun Lei took a look at the store in front of him, his eyes dark and unclear.
Geng Li has been with Sun Lei for so many years and understands his character best. As soon as he saw Sun Lei like this, he knew that he had taken a fancy to this store.
He hesitated to speak. It was obvious that the business of this store was good. Anyone who could afford such a business in this place was probably not an ordinary person. The young master's plan this time was likely to fail.
However, he knew that the young master was not the type to listen to his advice, and he did not want to offend him, so he did not say it out loud.
"Yes, I'll have someone check the origin of this store and the owner behind it."
Sun Lei smiled when he heard this, "You know me best."
Sun Lei walked around the store again. This time, he seemed to be looking over his own property. Everything he saw seemed to suit his taste and he was very satisfied.
However, when Liu Youwei went up to the second floor, he was dazzled by the various kinds of colored glass that Manager He had sent into the side room.
There are two-foot-tall orange-yellow with red eagle ornaments with spread wings, there are pink and white transparent glazed jade rabbit hand toys, there are delicate and graceful peony hairpins, there are small and cute willow leaf earrings, there are clearly defined chess boards, there are Go boards with crisscross longitude and latitude, there are exquisitely carved revolving lanterns, and there are rough and majestic imitation root carvings.
Looking at the dazzling array of glass products, Liu Youwei's eyes were simply not enough.
"How about it?"
Liu Youwei withdrew his eyes from Liuli and said, "Manager He, you have so many good treasures but you are still hiding them. You are treating me as an outsider."
"Boss Liu, what are you talking about? I'm here to show you. These are all the best treasures in our store. Each one is a one-of-a-kind piece."
One of a kind, one of a kind.
As soon as Manager He said this, Liu Youwei immediately understood what he meant.
Although the colored glaze here is cheap, it is not affordable for ordinary people and common people. Only the rich and powerful can afford it, and what they pursue is to be different.
This one-of-a-kind piece of colored glass can make them willing to spend money on it.
