Chapter 446 Selling Cloth and Negotiating Prices

"Cotton cloth." Wei Ruo replied.

"Impossible, cotton fabric can't be so soft, delicate and smooth." Sun Sanniang said.

"Does Boss Sun think it's made of silk?" Wei Ruo asked.

"It's not made of silk. My Sun Sanniang raised silkworms at the age of five, weaved cloth at the age of seven, and started a silk business at the age of thirteen. I can tell at a glance whether the spring silkworms are spring silkworms from Jiangnan or from real estate in Sichuan. I dare to say I, Sun Sanniang, bet that your material will never be made of silk." Sun Sanniang said firmly.

Wei Ruo smiled: "So this is indeed a cotton fabric, made of cotton, but the cotton used is a little different."

"Why is it different?" Sun Sanniang couldn't help asking.

"Different varieties of cotton produce great differences in cotton fibers, and the resulting fabrics also vary greatly. Like the one I have in hand, it is made of high-quality cotton, and its texture is not inferior to silk and satin. Soft and skin-friendly, it is very suitable for making close-fitting clothing."

"Where does this cotton come from?" Sun Sanniang asked hastily.

"Boss Sun, this is my business secret, sorry I can't tell the truth."

Of course, there is no way to say it. This is a new space seed that was unlocked when her space was upgraded to the seventh levelproduced by long-staple cotton, which has better disease resistance and insect resistance than ordinary cotton, with longer fibers and a better texture. better.

Because of various reasons, Wei Ruo has not taken the cotton seeds outside to plant on a large scale.

But because she now has seven pieces of land in her space, even if she only plants in the space, she can get a very objective amount of cotton in one season, enough to store a warehouse full.

Before coming to the capital, Wei Ruo transported some cotton to Mojiazha, the capital of Huzhou, and asked the village head to help find a few local weavers to weave the cotton into cloth.

The earliest samples were sent to Zhongyibo Mansion together with two jars of thyme a few years ago, and a larger amount of fabrics are still stored in the warehouse of Daiyueju.

Sun Sanniang stared at Wei Ruo for a while, and then smiled charmingly: "Young master, do you know that Caiyunjian is one of the best cloth shops in the capital, and those who want to do business with me can line up from Baihu Street to the west gate of the capital. If you want to do business with me, you'd better show your sincerity, otherwise forgive me, Sun Sanniang, for not being with me."

Wei Ruo didn't panic at all, and responded unhurriedly: "Since Boss Sun doesn't want it, I can't force it either. The younger generation interrupted."

Saying that, Wei Ruo wanted to leave.

people walked to the door, Sun Sanniang shouted: "Wait a minute!"

Wei Ruo stopped, raised the corners of his mouth, then turned around and asked, "Boss Sun, what else do you want to ask?"

"I don't need to ask you about the source of the cotton." Sun Sanniang compromised, "But I want to see the complete material. You can't just take such a piece of material the size of a handkerchief and negotiate a business with me, right?"

"Of course there is no problem, but it will take some cost and time to deliver the materials. Before that, I would like to ask Boss Sun how much taels he is willing to pay for my materials. If the price is right, I will ship the materials." Wei Ruo replied.

Sun Sanniang didn't answer the question right away, but narrowed her eyes and stared at Wei Ruo shrewdly.

"How much silver a foot does the young master want to sell me?" Sun Sanniang asked after a while.

"Five hundred words." Wei Ruo replied.

"Five hundred wen? Did you mean one foot or one foot?" Sun Sanniang asked.

"One foot."

"Aren't you just dreaming?" Sun Sanniang sneered.

One foot is five hundred wen, one foot is five taels of silver, and one piece of material is worth twenty-five taels of silver!

"Why not? Boss Sun's shop has a lot of materials that are more expensive than this." Wei Ruo asked.

"Those expensive materials are all made of high-quality silk satin. After all, how can you compare it to cotton cloth?" Sun Sanniang asked.

"But my boss Sun has never seen this kind of cotton cloth anywhere else, and its rarity is not lower than silk. The reason why ordinary cotton cloth is sold cheaper than silk is that the luster cannot be compared, and the second is scarcity. And my cotton cloth It happens to have these two characteristics, so I dont think its an exaggeration to sell at this price.

"Even so, your material is only made of cotton after all, and it is incomparable with silk products. Well, let me make a concession, two hundred yuan a foot, and the price is already higher than ordinary cotton cloth." Sun Sanniang said.

"Five hundred Wen." Wei Ruo repeated the price.

"My Sun Sanniang has always negotiated a fair price. I, Sun Sanniang, know better than anyone who buys what material, and how much the material is worth. No matter how good your material is, it's worth the price."

"What about the price of the color? Simple fabrics can't be sold at this price, but can't this material of rare colors be sold?" Wei Ruo asked.

Sun Sanniang paused, squinted her eyes and looked at the materials in her hand again, and then said: "This crimson purple is indeed precious, if it is all made of this color, it can indeed be sold at a high price, the materials in your hand are all Is it this color?"

If it is really all purple, it will be more than five hundred words.

Is it just that someone will use such a precious purple to dye cotton cloth in large quantities?

"Not all of them, one of the twenty horses is purple."

"Ordinary colors are two hundred renminbi a foot, and purple materials can be collected at five hundred renminbi." Sun Sanniang said.

"Mixed colors are sold, all at the price of 500 Wen per foot." Wei Ruo said.

Wei Ruo knew very well that the price of crimson purple was more than 500 cents a foot, and other common colors could not be sold at this price, and she wanted Sun Sanniang to collect them all together.

Sun Sanniang had to look at Wei Ruolai again.

After a long while, she smiled charmingly: "You are very shrewd. You mixed a bunch of crimson purple with twenty horses, but you wanted me to collect them all at five hundred coins per horse."

"Boss Sun, if you are willing to keep me here to talk, it proves that you are very optimistic about my material, but there must be a market for any material that you are optimistic about, so I believe that Boss Sun can still make money at this price. "Wei Ruo said.

"You seem to know my Sun Sanniang very well?"

"No, I don't know Boss Sun. Even before today, I didn't know that the owner of Caiyunjian is a woman. But I know that the owner who can open a shop like Caiyunjian in the capital must be very knowledgeable about market conditions and very wise."

"Are you flattering me?" Sun Sanniang approached Wei Ruo with a charming smile.

"The younger generation dare not."

"Look at your young age, but you have a lot of brains." Sun Sanniang commented.

"Boss Sun has won the award. I am a fledgling, and I still have a lot to learn from Boss Sun." Wei Ruo said.
