Chapter 463 Buying land and shops in Yuhang
Hu Wenhua doesn't understand this mentality, but Shuiqing does.
It's the so-called buy when it's high and don't buy when it's low.
The best example is housing prices. When housing prices keep rising, everyone wants to buy. Even if they don't have money, they will borrow money to buy, because they will make money if they buy, and they hope that the price will rise later;
But when housing prices fall, even if they have money, most people will not buy unless they have to buy for a necessity. The big households who originally had a lot of houses in their hands are selling them, and they would rather sell them at a lower price.
But the more the price drops, the more hesitant people are, fearing that it will continue to fall later.
In times of chaos, most people will sell fixed assets, including antiques and calligraphy and paintings. Everyone wants to hold gold and silver in their hands. In prosperous times, antiques are gold in troubled times. In troubled times, everyone only recognizes gold, silver and money!
She can't do antiques and calligraphy and paintings. If they are not properly preserved, they will be gone. The risk is too great. Moreover, she and Wenhua and others are from the mud and don't know how to distinguish the true from the false.
If you don't touch unfamiliar fields, you can't make money beyond your cognition.
She looked at Wenhua and asked, "Do you have any shops or good farmland you like?"
Hu Wenhua reported the land selected according to his sister's standards first: "There is a Wulin Mountain in Yuhang. There is a large piece of land in the middle surrounded by five peaks. The surrounding environment is quiet and beautiful. The owner of the northern peak of this land is selling it at a very low price;
But sister, this land is not good farmland. It is mostly tea forest. Can we buy it without worrying about filling it up?"
His sister said that they didn't want the land around the city. If there was chaos and the city gate was attacked, this place would be the first to suffer. It would be best to live in a place close to mountains and rivers. Even if they ran to the mountains in chaos, at least their lives would be safe.
And there are mountains and waters, so there is no worry about food and drink. Shanshui Village does have no worries about food and drink, but it is also because of the potato planting and his sister's business acumen. The northern peak is full of tea, and tea can only be drunk with water, and it doesn't fill you up. No wonder the owner sold this land first!
"We come from the countryside, and we just need to be full. Meat is more delicious than vegetables, and tea is just for quenching thirst. But for those literati who would rather eat without meat than live without bamboo, tea is very important!
But it needs to be packaged and famous, so that there will be no worries about sales in the future, and the price can be increased, and then it can be made into a fine product and go the high-end route." Shuiqing took the opportunity to explain for his brother.
Although Hu Wenhua still couldn't understand, he knew how to think from the perspective of others. Just like he liked to eat meat and was willing to spend money to buy meat, those literati who liked to drink tea were naturally willing to spend money for tea.
As for the last few sentences of his sister, he couldn't understand them at the beginning, but after selling rabbits, medicinal herbs, and toothbrushes, he understood that it was just a rhetoric for selling goods.
Like rabbits, medicinal herbs, toothbrushes, etc., they all have their names: Shanshui brand, and the buyers will recognize the brand later.
He asked: "Then I will buy it if it is still there next time I go? If it is not there, I will buy it if there is something similar around?"
Shui Qing nodded in agreement, and then asked: "How do you think of the shop?"
The house is only for living. If you don't live in it, it will be a loss. But the shop is different. It can be used for business and living. It is convenient to rent it after it stabilizes.
As for the house, she wants to earn money to buy Beidu!
In the future, the emperor's feet and the important place of the capital will gather dignitaries and wealthy businessmen. Good locations can maintain value and appreciate, so you have to stock up more.
"There are shops in good locations, but they are not too cheap. The dealer said that there are particularly cheap ones in front, but they have been bought by someone. He will keep an eye out for us." They stayed in Yuhang for three days, not only for return visits, but mainly to do the things that her sister asked.
"But sister, what you said about buying a shop with a yard and a few rooms in the back is really practical;
We can only stay in an inn every time we go there. Those shopkeepers, dental shops, etc. want to find us but have nowhere to go, and we have no place to put the goods. If we have our own shop, we don't have to spend money to stay in an inn in the future. We can also stock up goods and it will be easy for others to find us."
Shui Qing added: "Not only that, we can also send people to guard there in the future to take care of reception and other matters;
The goods are transported there continuously, and the people who take the goods can deliver them to the shop just by saying a word, so as to avoid those cooperating shops wanting goods but not being able to find people."
Toothbrushes are now their exclusive business, and there will inevitably be many imitations in the future. In order to avoid losing customers, the service must be improved, and all follow-up must be followed up.
Hu Wenhua nodded heavily.
The brother and sister talked for a long time, and they dispersed after finalizing the fields and shops one by one.
·
The villagers were worried about making money before, and they were especially worried about what to do if the toothbrushes could not be sold.
In that case, wouldn't they need to continue making toothbrush handles in the future? Everyone was looking forward to the return of those who had gone out, not only looking forward to their safe return, but also looking forward to the big sales of toothbrushes!
So when the team returned to the village relaxedly, everyone's hanging hearts finally fell to the ground.
This time, they went out for more than two months, more than seventy days, and earned more than seven taels of silver at once, plus the news that the toothbrushes were selling well. The shopkeeper in Yuhang even ordered the next batch of goods. At that time, every household killed chickens and rabbits to celebrate!
The village's public deposits increased a lot after the last attack. It was August, and the piglets and lambs caught at the end of last year had grown to the weight that could be slaughtered. The old village chief was discussing with his son and daughter-in-law whether to hold a village banquet to celebrate the big sales of toothbrushes and the autumn harvest.
Wang Guifen was polishing bamboo strips in her hands. When she heard the words, she looked up and smiled and said, "Now is not the time. Wenhua just came to tell me that she and Ding Jiajia's wedding date is scheduled for the 26th of this month, so the harvest of medicinal materials has been postponed.
I guess everyone in our village will go to Wenhua's wedding banquet, which is just like a village banquet. Besides, the autumn harvest has been postponed. Wouldn't it be better to hold a village banquet after it is confirmed? "
"The toothbrush shop has not been built yet. It's okay if the autumn harvest is postponed. I would rather postpone it. Toothbrushes can also make money. After Wenhua's wedding, you can hurry up to build the toothbrush shop. By then, you can make toothbrushes and prepare medicinal materials without delay. How great!" Zhang Hui agreed with a smile.
The old village chief had no objection.
Indeed, the village banquet can be postponed. With the good popularity of Hu Wenhua and the Ding couple, the whole village will definitely participate, and it will be no different from a village banquet.
Li Wen was splitting bamboo strips. When he heard that Hu Wenhua and Ding Jiajia were getting married, he looked up at his wife in surprise and asked with concern: "Guifen, what gifts should we give? "
Let's not talk about Shuiqing's relationship. Just selling rabbits, medicinal herbs, and toothbrushes, which one didn't Wenhua lead them to earn money?! Without Wenhua's guidance, they couldn't earn money for going out.
Li Wu said first: "The gift can't be too bad! From what I know, the wedding banquet dishes of Hu Ding and Liang Ji must be good. If our whole family goes there to eat, it will be too shabby!"
Wang Guifen rolled her eyes at her brother-in-law and snorted: "Even if only one person goes there to eat, their dishes are rich, and our gifts will be too shabby if we don't take enough!"
