Chapter 66: Good at Business
Mrs. Qi smiled and said, "Why don't you tell me about it."
"My family is short of money now, and I want to borrow two hundred taels of silver from Madam Qi, and pay it back every month with four sets of clothes. But the clothes must be better made and more exquisite, and the price will not be cheap." Xia Wanniang is now selling ordinary clothes, and she has not sold the good clothes yet.
Madam Qi hesitated for a moment: "Has the Xiao family lady made any?"
Xia Wanniang pretended to take out a set of exquisitely crafted clothes from her backpack. The clothes were made of top-quality materials and had exquisite workmanship. They could be said to be fully embroidered.
Mrs. Qi's eyes widened when she saw it. The dress was so beautiful.
If the previous dress was for a girl next door, then this dress is definitely the favorite of a lady of high rank.
This is beyond description as stunning. If you wear this, won’t you become the focus?
Mrs. Qi's eyes lit up when she saw the dress: "Are all four sets of clothes the same as this one?"
Xia Wanniang nodded. The set she took out was not the most gorgeous one. If it was kept in her space, her family would not be able to wear it, so it would be better to take it out and exchange it for money.
Madam Qi agreed immediately: "Okay, I will lend the two hundred taels to Madam Xiao. But I don't know how much you plan to sell this dress for?"
Xia Wanniang took a sip of tea and said, "The highest bidder wins. This will apply to all the clothes that follow. Madam Qi and I will split the money we sell 50-50."
Madam Qi was immediately delighted when she heard this. This was like picking it up for free. This dress would definitely make people drop their jaws in amazement: "Okay, I'll listen to Madam Xiao."
As she spoke, she thought of something else: "If you are not in a hurry to go back, why not wait and let me hang this dress out to see the effect."
Xia Wanniang nodded. She also wanted to see if anyone would buy it, so that she would have some peace of mind.
Mrs. Qi saw her nod and took the clothes to the store herself.
The shop assistants were asked to notify each of the families who had left their addresses in the shop. Many of these people were young ladies and wives from wealthy families.
After a while, Xia Wanniang heard the commotion outside, so she stood up and walked towards the shop in front. She did not go in, but just leaned against the threshold and looked in.
Mrs. Qi saw that most people had arrived, so she asked the waiter to hang up the clothes.
As soon as the dress was hung up, the whole store fell into complete silence.
"I want this dress." A lady who just came into the store saw the dress and immediately asked.
The quiet shop was like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, and the shop immediately reacted: "I want one too, I'll pay two taels."
"More than money, right? I'll give you three taels."
"I'll give you five taels..."
The shop was quiet for a moment, and then as if it had been injected with chicken blood, the price continued to rise, and it rose to more than fifteen taels, and then many people slowly withdrew from the bidding.
There were still a few wealthy customers who were still arguing, and finally the suit was sold for thirty taels.
When Mrs. Qi saw that the dress had been sold, many customers looked indignant, so she quickly smiled and said, "In addition to this dress, there are some very good ready-made clothes. Although they are not as gorgeous as this one, the style and workmanship are definitely good."
The customer who originally didn't buy the suit felt relieved after hearing this: "Madam, please take it out and show it to us."
Madam Qi nodded to the waiter and hung up the clothes that had just been delivered: "These clothes are the same as before. Each set is sold at one tael and one penny of silver, but the quantity is still limited."
The customers in the store can't stand it anymore. If they think something looks good, they will buy it immediately without even trying it.
When Mrs. Qi saw this situation, the smile on her face never faded.
"Madam, will you have more clothes as exquisite as the one you just wore?"
"Yeah, will there be clothes like that in the future?"
Mrs. Qi smiled and said, "Yes, there are four sets of such clothes every month, but there is no price. The highest bidder wins. At the end of the month, there will be bidding in the store. There are clothes for two men and two women. If the customer needs clothes for children, it is also possible."
Xia Wanniang looked at the business in the store and had to say that Mrs. Qi was also a good businesswoman.
