Chapter 190 Gu Dajiang's Sales Frustration
"Ah, General Xu has gone to the battlefield! Do we still have to sell our horses?" Miao asked anxiously.
"We won't bring them out for the time being. After all, we have met General Xu once and have a certain level of trust. It's easy to find a reason. If we sell them to someone else, such a large herd of horses will easily arouse suspicion and bring unnecessary trouble." Gu Dajiang explained.
After listening to her husband's words, Miao also felt that it made sense.
Several people also talked about today's cooperation with the embroidery shop, and the fact that the rouge shop wanted to cooperate but was rejected.
After the meal, Gu Fu sent the empty bowls to the space villa for cleaning. Afterwards, Gu Dajiang and Gu Fu discussed the order.
After the three of them had a lunch break, they went to the largest furniture and decoration shop in the city.
Although Zesheng County was also a war-torn area and faced a food shortage crisis, it was the head of the county after all, with many wealthy families, and consumption could keep up.
Several people took the root carvings made by Gu Dahe and went to the largest furniture shop in the city to ask. "Boss, I have a few furniture that I want to sell. I wonder if you will take them?" Gu Dajiang asked the shopkeeper as he entered the shop and bowed.
The shopkeeper glanced at them calmly, and after returning the greeting, he said, "Thank you for your courtesy, sir. However, our shop generally only accepts items from famous artists. I wonder which master's work you are selling."
All three of them were a little embarrassed. This shopkeeper was too direct. Is there anyone who does business like this? Who doesn't even look at the goods before talking?
A few people exchanged glances and thought that since the root carvings had been pulled out, they might as well sell them.
So Gu Dajiang said, "Boss, can we take a look at the goods first before we talk?"
When the shopkeeper heard this, he waved his hand impatiently and said, "Go away, don't waste your time here. The people who come and go here are all dignitaries, and they won't be interested in low-class things. Hurry up and leave, don't wait for me to drive you away."
"Hey, if you still want to do business like this, don't regret it. Let's go." Gu Dajiang said angrily.
Miao also disliked the shopkeeper, but she didn't understand business and always listened to her husband when outside.
Now, when she heard her husband calling her to leave, she immediately glared at the shopkeeper and followed him.
Gu Fu had been sitting in the carriage driven by an intelligent robot and was pulled away without even getting off.
A few people asked a few more companies and got the same results, so they gave up.
Gu Fu had never expected that in this era the furniture industry would actually be so concerned with "brand".
Since my father has no name or surname, it seems that the products will be difficult to sell.
"Then we won't sell these root carvings and ornaments?" After being rejected many times, Miao couldn't help but ask Gu Dajiang.
"Sell it, we must sell it. I'll think of a way to sell it. Let's go back today." Gu Dajiang said.
These were all carved by my third brother with great effort, one knife and one axe at a time. How could I not sell them?
There is no problem with my third brother's skills, what he lacks is his fame. If I bring him back intact, it will really dampen his enthusiasm.
Just like him, after studying economics and business for so long, I always wanted to practice business to verify my own knowledge.
This time when I go out to do business, I must work hard and manage it well.
The group returned to the inn along the same route, and Song Renjing also came back. The secret guards also came back with him, but they hid in the crowd and did not show up.
After Song Renjing and the Gu family greeted each other, Gu Dajiang ordered the intelligent robots to pull the goods back to the backyard intact.
Seeing this, the waiter knew that Mr. Gu was not having success in selling his goods.
After placing the goods, Gu Dajiang asked the waiter to serve the food, and they sat together to eat.
The second brother took the opportunity to say, "Master Gu, you are from another place, so you probably don't know the customs of our Zesheng County. We have a blessing meeting every early March. You brought so many goods, you can try to sell them at the venue."
"Oh! There is such a thing. That's a good opportunity. Thank you, brother Xiao Er, for telling me." Gu Dajiang said happily to the brother Xiao Er and stuffed a dozen coins into his hand.
He continued to ask, "I wonder what exactly this blessing meeting is about? Where is it held? If we set up a stall, are there any rules?"
"This prayer meeting is a prayer ceremony held in early spring every year. There are still five days until the prayer meeting. A senior monk from Hanshan Temple outside the city will come to the west gate of our county to preside over the ceremony, which will last for three days. Not only will our King Li be present, but many wealthy families and common people will also come to pray and listen to the scriptures, and there will also be many vendors setting up stalls to sell goods. As long as you pay the money to the government in advance, you can rent the venue." The waiter explained to them.
The Gu family members were overjoyed to hear the news.
Song Renjing also heard the news at Prince Li's Mansion today, but he understood the matter from another perspective, so he did not think about the benefits it would bring to the Gu family for a moment.
Now that I heard the waiter mention it, I just thought of it.
"Second uncle, if you need a venue, I can help you make the arrangements." Song Renjing said.
Gu Dajiang thought for a moment and said, "Shuhuan, that's not necessary. Didn't Xiaoerge say that we just need to pay the money? Let's not use favors."
"Uncle, it doesn't require any favors or trouble. Just focus on the preparations and leave the venue to me." Song Renjing insisted.
"Okay. Thank you, Ajing, for arranging the venue." Gu Dajiang happily agreed upon hearing this and no longer refused.
"Uncle, it's not hard work. Ajing is very happy to be able to help you." After Song Renjing said this, he winked at the next table, and someone got up and left.
The next step was to have the right time, right place, and right people. Gu Dajiang then focused on making the arrangements.
In the evening, he first made a video call to his third brother who was far away in the valley. When Gu Dahai was about to go back to rest, he received a call from his second brother.
He quickly picked up the phone: "Second brother, second sister-in-law, my daughter. How are you doing outside? When will you be back?"
Gu Fu knew that his second uncle had something to say, so he just smiled and waved to his father.
Gu Dajiang said, "Third brother, we still have a few more days. There will be a prayer meeting here in five days. We plan to attend the prayer meeting and decide when to go back after seeing how the goods are selling."
Next, he explained to Gu Dahe what the prayer meeting was and the market situation of furniture and ornaments: "Third brother, think of a title for yourself and give it to me before the prayer meeting. Second brother guarantees that your prayer meeting will be known to everyone."
"Okay, okay, I will think about it carefully." Gu Dahai agreed with a smile.
While the two brothers Dajiang and Dahe were chatting, Miao was also typing private messages with Jiang and Wen.
Miao: [Sister-in-law, I have reached a long-term cooperation with the shopkeeper Mei of the embroidery shop. When the shopkeeper Mei saw your embroidery, she loved it so much that she took my hand and asked me to introduce it to her! ]
Jiang's [Really? I have more confidence to learn now that the market has verified it! ]
Miao: [Sister-in-law's skills are excellent! By the way, Shopkeeper Mei particularly likes the silk threads you dyed, saying that the layers are clear, and she wants to cooperate with you for a long time. Do you want to agree to her request? ]
