Chapter 557
In addition to Lin Wan and Chuncao, there are three other people who have bought into this shop, namely the county magistrate’s wife Zhang, the headmaster’s wife Huang, and the other is the master’s wife Miao.
Before opening this shop, Chuncao only said that it was selling cloth and some Beijing-style garments and embroidery, and did not mention the acquisition of embroidery for the shop in Beijing.
Opening a shop in Nanzhu County, selling cloth and embroidery. Huang and Miao, who came from Beijing, really didn't like the shop after seeing Nanzhu's poverty. However, the two of them knew the relationship between Chuncao and Lin Wan very well. After hearing that Chuncao proposed that Zhang buy a share, they each gave Chuncao a hundred taels of silver to buy a share, and they said they were investing in it, but they had made plans to lose all their money.
Chuncao once mentioned to Zhang that the initial investment in shops was 500 taels, but if you buy a shop and then spread the goods, 500 taels of silver was obviously not enough.
Lin Wan asked Chuncao to gather everyone and determined the share capital of the shop.
In addition to his 100 taels of silver, Zhang also had less than thirty taels of silver. Considering that Chen Jiao was already sixteen, she had to start preparing for a dowry, and her eldest son was five years old, so she should start studying. Even if she wanted to pursue capital, she would not be able to do anything.
The Huang family and Miao family were not optimistic about this business and took Zhang family as accurate, and did not pursue capital.
Chuncao explained the shop's initial investment. After discussing it, the total investment amount of the shop was determined to be 1,000 taels.
In other words, as the "boss", Chuncao has an individual investment of 700 taels.
One thousand taels may not be enough to buy a very small and side-by-side shop in Beijing. In Nanzhu, one thousand taels not only bought a shop, but also had enough funds to store the goods. However, when the shop opened, Chuncao had no more than silver available.
Nanzhu is poor, with low housing prices and low store prices, and the consumption level is also relatively low.
But no matter how poor the place is, there will always be rich people.
As long as there are rich people, they will have surprising consumption power.
Nanzhu is no exception.
On the day the shop in Chuncao opened, there were many people watching the fun. I thought there would be no sales on the first day. What surprised everyone was that the low-end cotton cloth and cloth clothes were almost gone, and those mid-to-high-end ready-to-wear clothes were sold out.
Several girls and wives who were obviously from good families even started arguing about the ready-to-wear clothes they liked.
Seeing that it might cause chaos, Lin Wan, who was placed in the backyard office and had a rest by Chuncao, hurriedly asked Sizhu to send a message to Chuncao and asked Chuncao to accept the ready-to-wear reservation, which calmed down the unexpected dispute.
When the store closes and takes stock, the income will be nearly 500 taels this day, and there are seven or eight orders for ordering ready-to-wear.
There are no sewing machines in this era, and it is all about handmade clothes.
All the ready-to-wear clothes on the shelves were handed down by the embroidery girls in the backyard embroidery workshop. It took almost half a month for five or six embroidery girls and spring grass to get the ready-to-wear clothes on the shelves today. No one thought it would be so popular.
"I didn't expect that the ready-made garments were so popular, and they were sold out all at once. However, only a few embroidery pieces were sold. I think the embroidery shop can put the embroidery pieces first, and then invite a few more needlework and threading to make the ready-made garments together with the embroiderers." As soon as the shop opened, he saw the profits. Zhang stared at the table and spread the account book and suggested excitedly.
Lin Wan shook her head secretly, but did not directly refute.
The Chen County Wei family is the worst among the few officials in the county government. Lin Wan knew that Zhang was very tight and saw that Chen Jiao was already sixteen, so she had to prepare some dowry for Chen Jiao. Naturally, she was the one who wanted to make some money the most among them.
However, Zhang did not have a business mind, and all she could see was something floating on the surface.
When he first discussed opening this shop with Chuncao, Lin Wan's main purpose was not to sell cloth, ready-made clothes and embroidery, but to buy more and more beautiful Shu embroidery through this shop, and then go to the capital to sell it. That is the real way to make money.
Of course, this shop can make money in Nanzhu, which can bring changes in clothing to Nanzhu, and Lin Wan is also happy to see it.
After discussing, everyone respected Zhang's opinion and decided to invite some women with good needlework to make ready-made clothes. The embroidery girl in the embroidery workshop continued their great career in Shu embroidery according to Lin Wan's previous decision and embroidery example.
In addition, Lin Wan reminded Chuncao in front of everyone that she could start the acquisition of Shuxiu boutique products.
"We have an embroidery workshop ourselves, and the embroidery products in the shop are not sold well and we have to buy them?" Zhang looked at Lin Wan in surprise.
This time, Lin Wan no longer hides it from everyone and announces her true purpose of letting Chuncao open this shop with a smile.
"If this is the case, a thousand taels of silver is probably not enough!" Huang's family runs an escort agency. When they were young, they saw that their father was dealing with businessmen from all over the country. They naturally knew more about the business world than others. After listening to Lin Wan's plan, they blurted out.
Lin Wan smiled and said, "I took out another thousand taels of silver to specifically use it for the acquisition of embroidery and the operation of the embroidery workshop. This thousand taels are not included in the stock capital of the shop, but are the prepaid embroidery purchase funds from Beijing."
Although Lin Wan specifically stated that one thousand taels of silver was the prepaid embroidery purchase payment in the Beijing area, everyone knew in their hearts that the so-called prepaid embroidery purchase payment was Lin Wan's own private house.
Since that's the case, Lin Wan simply made the plan for purchasing embroidery products that she had already made to the public.
"The profit of embroidery is divided into 55% for Nanzhu's shop and the shop in Beijing? Wouldn't we take a big advantage!" Huang looked at Lin Wan after seeing the plan.
There are many wealthy families in the capital. As long as the embroidery is delivered with exquisite enough, you will not have to worry about sales and the profits are quite considerable.
Although it means that everyone invested together with the embroidery shop, in fact, whether it was the operation of the embroidery shop or the acquisition of embroidery products, Lin Wan was the only investor, but the profit was divided by 50% of the money, which was not exactly what Huang said, taking a big advantage.
"What do you say is to take advantage of it but not take advantage. It is a rare fate for everyone to get together and make money happily. If everyone has no other intentions, this will be settled." Lin Wan shook her head with a smile.
Lin Wan didn't say anything, that is, she hopes to provide the hard women in Nanzhu with the opportunity to make money and make a living through the small embroidery pieces. She also hopes that the small embroidery pieces can become a small driving force to drive Nanzhu's economy and allow Nanzhu to develop faster.
After some discussion, the shop business direction was adjusted, the sales scale of cotton cloth and cloth were appropriately reduced, and investment in mid-to-high-end ready-to-wear was increased.
With Lin Wan's so-called advance payment of 1,000 taels, and the sales on the first day were added, even if the business direction was adjusted, Chuncao did not feel too much for the funds.
