Reborn Craftsman

Chapter 37 The business is coming

The hunchbacked villager with the head saw Zhu Meiling coming, and hurriedly greeted her with a smile: "How is it? Has your son agreed?"

"I agreed, but the salary can only be three yuan a day, not four yuan a day like my fourth uncle. After all, he is a man and takes care of lunch. If you think you can call them to work tomorrow!" Zhu Meiling pondered for a while , stating the conditions.

Although it is my natal family, I can't get used to it. There are some things that must be made clear.

"Good! Good! Good!" The hunchbacked villagers nodded happily: "I don't know how many people are needed!"

"Didn't you say before that the daughters-in-law of five of you would know how to be a bamboo craftsman? Let's start with the five of you! If there are too many people, it won't work. I'll say it first, no beginners are needed!" Zhu Meiling urged .

"Understood, understood!" The hunchbacked villager even turned around and went to discuss with other villagers. After reaching a conclusion, they all left, and promised that all five of their wives would come to gather at the gate of the shed before seven o'clock tomorrow.

Zhu Meiling watched these natal families go away, and was about to continue weaving the dustpan, when a black-faced strong man walked in with a cattail fan.

"What are you doing?" Zhu Meiling casually asked the black-faced burly man.

"I heard from Lao Zhong that your place is a processing factory for bamboo products. Can you make baskets? The kind of green bamboo?" The black-faced burly man glanced at the environment in the greenhouse, and he couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief when he saw that there was nothing wrong with it.

"Green bamboo baskets?" Zhu Meiling turned her head to look in Liu Xing's direction in a daze, "Son, don't fiddle with your scrap metal. If there is a business coming, come and negotiate the price."

"Oh...here we come!" Liu Xing wiped his hands, and ran up to the black-faced burly man.

"Are you the boss here?" The black-faced man looked at Liu Xing and asked in surprise.

"Almost!" Liu Xing smiled, revealing a mouthful of neat and white teeth.

"I really can't see it!" The black-faced burly man followed suit with a smile, and he moved a chair and sat down: "That's right, I am the owner of a grocery store in this market, my surname is Xue, and I am expensive. It’s almost time to harvest the late rice, but the baskets in the store have been out of stock, so I want you to process some, so that I can show off.”

Baskets are used in many other places besides storing rice in rural areas. They are a bamboo product that is more popular than dustpans. However, because the workmanship is complicated and the price is too low, not many bamboo craftsmen are willing to make it. It has become the current situation.

Liu Xing is a reborn person, so he knew the inside story. After thinking about it, he replied, "Boss Xue, look, I'm rushing to make dustpans right now! I'm afraid I don't have much time to make dustpans!"

"I know, and I also know that you are making a dustpan for Mrs. Zhang of the soya bean shop. I don't need this basket right now, as long as you agree, the price is right!" Boss Xue showed his sincerity with a silly smile.

"Then how much for a pair of bamboo baskets?" Liu Xing frowned.

Although he is a reborn person, he really can't remember the price of Luokung in 93.

Boss Xue would definitely be unhappy if he shouted too loudly.

If the shout is low, no one is willing to do things that don't make money.

"Six yuan for a pair of bamboo bamboo baskets, is the price fair?" Boss Xue quoted the price without hesitation.

In fact, he used to pay five yuan for a pair of bamboo baskets in the hands of the bamboo strip maker. Now he was afraid that because of the low price, he would not be able to do business with Liu Xing, so he raised it by one yuan.

Anyway, in a word, as long as the baskets came to his grocery store, he had the final say on the price. As long as the quality was good, he sold even ten yuan a pair of contemptuous baskets, and they were very popular.

The bamboo products in the market that Zhang Xiaoying's family is interested in are the one in front of him, and the only one, so he is not afraid of spending money, but he is afraid that Liu Xing's price will be too low.

Sure enough, Liu Xing shook his head: "Boss Xue, do you know how much I sell for a dustpan now?"

"Yes, two yuan!" Boss Xue replied with a sneer.

"Do you know how long it takes to make a dustpan? It takes less than an hour, but it takes three to four hours to make a single basket. This is still in the case of skilled hands, that is to say, the wages for a pair of baskets and the consumption of tools and materials. It only costs five yuan, isn't the price of six yuan you gave a bit too low?" Liu Xing said with a smile on his face.

"Well...then how much do you think a pair of bamboo bamboo baskets cost?" Boss Xue scratched his head in embarrassment when he saw that Liu Xing's words were telling the truth.

"Let's do this! My lowest price is eight yuan for a pair of baskets. If you think it's okay, wait until I have time. Of course, if you can't wait, you can also find other master bamboo craftsmen. This business is open to everyone." It can be done!" Liu Xing thought for a while and replied.

He will open the breakfast shop in a few days, and he may not have time to eat when he gets busy, so it's better to push away the business.

Of course, a pair of bamboo baskets cost eight yuan. If Boss Xue really wants to do it, then he can do it if he can't do it.

After all, no one will delay making money.

Surprisingly, Boss Xue didn't think it was too expensive to leave, but said: "Eight yuan for a pair is eight yuan for a pair, but there must be a guarantee of quality. Can you make a sample tomorrow?"

Liu Xing pursed his lips: "Yes, but let's say it first, I don't want to do the quantity of dozens."

In terms of quality, if he can't guarantee the quality of what he makes, then other bamboo craftsmen may not be able to guarantee it even more.

"One hundred pairs of baskets, isn't that a lot?" Boss Xue took out 200 yuan and put it in front of Liu Xing: "This is the deposit, please keep it!"

Liu Xing looked at Boss Xue, and couldn't believe what he heard. He made things difficult for Boss Xue, who wanted to do business with him, and he had already paid out the deposit. This... this... Is there any conspiracy in it?
"Maybe I'm thinking too much!" Liu Xing laughed at himself, and put it in his belt after checking the authenticity of the money.

Just in case, Liu Xing took out a paper and a pen, and wrote down a double copy of the contract on buying and selling bamboo baskets in front of Boss Xue.

It's not that he is suspicious by nature, but that in the business field, he must first be a villain and then a gentleman, so that he can win every battle and remain invincible in the business world.

Boss Xue looked at the contract written by Liu Xing, and was so shocked that he couldn't recover for a long time.

He also has a child who is about the same age as Liu Xing, and now he can't even write a composition well, but what about Liu Xing!He even knows how to write a contract, and he's still so slippery.

This is really more popular than people!
"Sign it!" Liu Xing placed the contract in front of Boss Xue.

If Boss Xue repents, he doesn't care, he just uses the contract to see the truth of this business.
