Chapter 22 Cooperative Trading
When Gu Qing saw the fat man standing outside the door, he was thinking about a very serious philosophical question of life - what to eat tonight.
Food can no longer meet Gu Qing's needs. In his opinion, a meal with meat on the table is a serious meal, and anything without meat is just a hooligan.
After eating all the meat at home, Gu Qing felt a deep sense of crisis. Eating no meat meant that the body stopped growing. Stopping growth meant that he could not fight with others. Failure to fight with others meant that he would be bullied in the future and would never be able to fight again.
I happily robbed other people's houses and meat...
The logic is very rigorous and the consequences are serious.
The first thing that the fat shopkeeper Hao outside the door saw when he saw Gu Qing was his naturally unhappy face.
This kind of face is very unfavorable for social interaction, because when people with a good temper see him, they will immediately reflect on whether they said something wrong, while when people with a bad temper see him, the first words that come out of their mouths are:
"What are you looking at?"
Shopkeeper Hao undoubtedly belongs to the first category. He is a businessman, and a good temper is a basic quality that a businessman must have. He must have the self-cultivation to do what he wants and the extraordinary ability to laugh even after his own father is dead.
Seeing the unhappy face in front of him, Shopkeeper Hao looked directly at Gu Qing, still smiling brightly.
Gu Qing is not a businessman and does not need to have any professional qualities. Seeing the fat man in front of him staring at him, Gu Qing said coldly: "What are you looking at?"
Shopkeeper Hao's smile froze, and the shopkeeper next to him was so frightened that he hurried forward to introduce him: "Young Master, this is Shopkeeper Hao from Shulongchang Company in Qingcheng County. I specially invited him to come and see the pottery kiln..."
Gu Qing suddenly realized, and then said: "The pottery kiln is a commercial secret and cannot be seen."
Shopkeeper Hao was stunned for a moment, smacked his lips and said: "'Business secret'? This word... Haha, just don't look at it, Young Master, can we discuss the sale of pottery?"
Gu Qing turned sideways and invited the two of them inside.
When he entered the door, he praised his basic qualities as a guest. As soon as Shopkeeper Hao's fat and short legs crossed the threshold, he exclaimed: "It's a good house. Compared with other houses in the village, the young man's house is very particular. It can be seen that the young master is very particular."
Mr. Lang is an elegant gentleman who lives a refined life."
Gu Qing curled his lips. How painful was his conscience to say such blind words? This house was originally owned by a pair of village tyrants who did all kinds of evil. The two are still tied up in the woodshed and yelled at every day. How is it like "Pianpian"
"Elegant"?
"When Shopkeeper Hao said this, I really feel that I am a refined scholar and the shopkeeper has good eyesight." Gu Qing said without changing his expression.
The salesman next to him was shocked when he heard this, his lips trembled, but he didn't dare to say a word.
The three of them entered the front room and sat down. Only then did Gu Qing take a good look at the obscenely fat guy in front of him.
The first impression of appearance is very important, and a peculiar appearance is easier to remember. On the contrary, the ordinary organs in the appearance are all covered up by the peculiar features. When others recall it again, the only picture that comes to mind is often
That strange thing.
The first impression the fat shopkeeper gave Gu Qing was that he was fat, very fat. If Gu Qing closed his eyes and recalled Shopkeeper Hao's appearance at this moment, he would not be able to remember his facial features at all, and all that would come to his mind would be a pile of exaggerated white meat.
Gu Qing looked at it for a moment, feeling filled with emotion.
If you are so fat, you must eat meat for every meal. You are really envious of others.
Fat people sweat easily. After Shopkeeper Hao knelt down, he took out a white handkerchief to wipe his sweat and smiled apologetically at Gu Qing.
"Young Master, you have an extraordinary appearance. He must not be found in the pond. Yesterday, this salesman came to see me and showed me some pottery. I tried it. It was really good stuff. It can be called top grade. I heard that the pottery is from
My dear Young Master, I came here today to get acquainted with Young Master. I was in a hurry before leaving and did not send my greetings in advance. I hope that Young Master will be sincere to you."
Gu Qing nodded: "It's from my pottery kiln. What does Shopkeeper Hao think?"
Shopkeeper Hao showed admiration and praised: "It is indeed top quality. If I sell it to you, it will definitely live up to the expectations of the Young Master."
Gu Qing looked into his eyes and said: "The things come from my pottery kiln. Naturally, everyone likes to hear good words. But shopkeeper Hao is an expert. I want to ask if this batch of pottery I fired is good."
What are the disadvantages?”
Shopkeeper Hao laughed: "Shaolangjun is an open-minded person. Everything in the world has flaws and cannot be perfect. Shaolangjun's pottery is good, but don't blame me for bluntly saying that there are still some areas where there is room for improvement, such as the quality of the pottery.
The surface is rough and the color is dull. Obviously your pottery kiln did not hire glazing craftsmen..."
"I'm a businessman. When selling things, you have to pay attention to how they are presented. Your pottery is a good thing, but if it is not glazed, it will look nothing special. Most buyers will not have the idea of buying it after seeing it.
"If you are interested, Mr. Young Master, I know a few glazing craftsmen at the kilns. Would you like to introduce them to you?"
Gu Qing nodded. This shopkeeper Hao is a very down-to-earth person. Although he is also a eloquent businessman, every word he says has meaning, and he does not have the bad habit of a businessman who makes too much noise. He produces products from his own kiln.
Of course Gu Qing knows the advantages and disadvantages of the pottery produced better than anyone else, and Shopkeeper Hao was right.
In his previous life, Gu Qing was also a leader. He had a team under him and often dealt with cunning, greedy and unscrupulous bosses. He was very familiar with the virtues of a businessman.
In comparison, this shopkeeper Hao is much more honest.
"Shopkeeper Hao, the pottery you are looking at is the first batch fired in my kiln. I will hire glazing craftsmen to bake the second batch in the future. The quality will surely be better. I am willing to cooperate with the shopkeeper. I don't know, Shopkeeper Hao.
What do you think?"
Shopkeeper Hao straightened his body and showed a look of surprise: "I wish you all! I will not disappoint Mr. Shao Lang. The price is easily negotiable. I am also confident that I can sell Mr. Shao Lang's pottery to all parts of the Tang Dynasty."
After a pause, Shopkeeper Hao asked tentatively: "I wonder how much pottery Shao Langjun's kiln can produce?"
"The pottery kiln has just been built and can currently produce a thousand pieces every three days. If shopkeeper Hao can spread the stall, my pottery kiln can be expanded at any time and there will be no shortage of supply."
Shopkeeper Hao was overjoyed and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Young Master, I can spread your pottery all over Shuzhou in as little as half a year. Give me another three years and I can capture Jiannan Road."
Gu Qing smiled. After all, he is still a businessman, and he has a lot of skills in painting big cakes. Gu Qing has done this kind of thing countless times in his previous life. He talks about interests to veterans, and talks about feelings and dreams to rookies. If he encounters someone who is arrogant and has no ability,
If you are a guy, then draw a big cake until he is trembling with flowers.
Of course Gu Qing doesn't accept this trick.
"Shop Manager Hao, you are all sensible people. Let's talk about the price quickly." Gu Qing said lazily.
Shopkeeper Hao's expression was stagnant. He no longer dared to deceive young Gu Qing, who was young and ignorant. Looking at Gu Qing's attitude and mentality when speaking, the city government's calculations were at least on the same level as him, and it was not easy to fool him.
It's really strange. Where did this monster-like young man come from in a remote and barren mountain village?
