Chapter 356 There is no business without treachery
Zhang Tong put the post back into the drawer and locked it, then returned to Lin Jiaojiao and spoke excitedly.
"Boss Liu also sent something over, five rolls of cloth, and other partners also sent gifts. I put them all in my room for safekeeping. Boss, would you like to take a look now?"
Lin Jiaojiao shook her head and sighed, "Aunt, please sort out the list of gifts."
Zhang Tong had expected this and said with a smile, "I knew you wanted to return the gift, so I prepared it a long time ago."
"Okay, I'll get it when I get back. Now I'm going to check on Chishi."
After she finished speaking, she turned around, only to find that there was already a line at the door. She was so scared that she turned around again immediately, fearing that someone would recognize her.
"How come there are still so many people lining up to buy potato chips after more than half a month?"
Zhang Tong glanced behind her and said, "They are all from Qingzhou. I heard that our big bag of potato chips can be sold for more than 200 Wen in Qingzhou."
She took a deep breath and asked in a low voice, "Didn't you say it was 100 Wen last time? Has the price increased again?"
Zhang Tong also lowered his voice and said while looking behind him, "The demand for this stuff is extremely high. If it weren't for the rule that one person can only buy ten packs, one person would have bought them all."
Then Zhang Tong pulled her to a corner and whispered, "Boss, why don't we go to Qingzhou to buy it? This stuff is extremely profitable."
"Ah? That's not good... It's a bit like asking for too much..."
She can't do anything about those who resell the products, but it would be too unscrupulous for her to sell the products directly from the factory and then buy them elsewhere at a high price.
Zhang Tong didn't expect that his boss actually didn't forget his original intention and was still so honest and upright. This is not a good thing for a businessman.
There is no business without treachery.
She said earnestly, "If we don't sell it, won't the money be made by others for nothing? Since we are all making money, why don't we make it ourselves? And if we sell it outside, we will definitely not use our own name. If we take a whole truck out to sell it on the street, others won't know it's us who are selling it."
Seeing that Lin Jiaojiao was hesitant, she first glanced at the line at the door and saw that there were more people queuing, then continued.
"When everyone grows potatoes, someone will definitely figure out this method. By then, it won't be so profitable. It's better to make more money now."
Lin Jiaojiao was very moved by what she said, but her moral concepts made her feel a little resistant.
So she is very conflicted now.
At this time, the employees also came to the gate carrying baskets of potato chips and popcorn, and the woman first in line couldn't wait to shout.
"I want ten large bags of potato chips!"
"Fan Fangfang, don't be too greedy! Leave some big bags for us who are waiting in the back!"
"that is!"
Ten large bags of potato chips cost three hundred wen, and can be sold for two taels of silver. After deducting travel expenses and various other expenses, you can still make more than one tael of silver.
This is really huge profit.
"Okay, I'll go back and discuss it with my brother and the others."
Zhang Tong showed a satisfied smile, because this matter was 90% likely to succeed.
Lin Jiaojiao heard the sound of a carriage behind her. She looked back and saw Lan Yi driving the carriage and stopping at the door. She said goodbye to Zhang Tong and turned to walk towards the carriage.
As she passed the gate, she glanced at the people who were buying things. The big bags of potato chips and popcorn were selling the fastest, and the people in the line behind her were standing on tiptoe and counting with their heads raised, fearing that they would be out of stock by the time it was their turn.
She sighed, it turned out that purchasing on behalf of others already existed in ancient times.
She got in the carriage, and Lan Yi drove the carriage towards the post station. She was going to send food to Lin Yun. Thinking that she had sent a lot of food a few days ago, this time she would mainly send popcorn.
The carriage stopped at the entrance of the post station, and Lan Yi took the packed bamboo baskets out of the carriage.
Lin Jiaojiao sat motionless with her eyes closed, thinking, with her hat pulled very low. Combined with the tight clothes she was wearing today, if you didn't know her, you would think she was some unknown hero out for a parade.
Because there was only one basket of things, Lan Yi quickly sent it out and returned to the carriage. Then he silently drove the carriage towards Zhishi Dessert Shop.
It was not until the carriage stopped that Lin Jiaojiao looked up and realized that the carriage was not parked in front of the store, but not far away.
There was a long line in front of the store, and Lin Fen and Liu Wen were standing at the door selling potato chips and popcorn. Liu Wen was counting the money, and Lin Fen was giving the change.
Lin Jiaojiao was not in a hurry to go over. There were a lot of people queuing and the items were selling very quickly. Most of them were bought by the people in the front of the line. The people in the back who didn't get anything cried out in pain.
"If I had known I would have slept on the floor here tonight! I've been here for two days and still haven't gotten a spot!"
"You've only been here for two days, but I've been here for five days, and the soldiers don't allow us to sleep on the floor..."
"It's the same every day, and I don't know how to make more!"
"Hey, I heard that Second Sister Xiang earned more than ten taels of silver last month. I'm so envious..."
"So much? I only earned a little over two taels last month, so little."
"I remember you only made two trips..."
Lin Jiaojiao fell silent after hearing this. This earned more money than from her own store. It turned out that purchasing on behalf of others was profitable.
After the goods at the door were sold out, most people went into the store to buy some biscuits, shachima, pork jerky, and a lot of candied plums and dried fruits, which are very popular in the wealthy circle.
Lin Jiaojiao had no choice but to wait for a while until there were fewer people queuing at the door, and then she let Lan Yi continue driving forward.
When they arrived at the door, Lin Jiaojiao got off the carriage.
She saw Lin Fen bring out two more baskets of cherry tomatoes, and Liu Wen also took out the written sign and put it away.
"Sir, would you like some... Boss!"
Liu Wen was just about to introduce the new cherry tomato when she saw a familiar face under the bamboo hat.
Seeing that everyone around was looking over, Lin Jiaojiao quickly lowered her hat and whispered.
"Just call me girl. I'm here to check out the store's sales today."
Liu Wen also understood that the boss’s status was different now, so she immediately nodded and invited the person in.
The surrounding customers were also attracted by the newly moved out cherry tomatoes and gathered around. The job of selling cherry tomatoes was then left to Lin Fen.
Tao Qi was helping pack at the front desk. When he saw Liu Wen following the woman in the bamboo hat with a smile on her face and respectfully, he belatedly recognized who she was and immediately went to make some tea.
Liu Wen went to the locked cabinet and took out a box.
"Girl, these are the things that Furong Pavilion sent yesterday. I originally wanted Lin Fen to take them back later. Oh, there are also some notes."
After she finished speaking, she was about to turn around to take it, but was rejected by Lin Jiaojiao.
"No need. I'll come back to this post later. For today, just pretend I haven't been to the city."
"Okay, I understand. Here I come."
Seeing her busy at the cashier counter again, Lin Jiaojiao opened the box from Furong Pavilion.
Suddenly a fragrant aroma reached her nose, and she could already smell the scent of lotus and rose.
Every time Furong Pavilion has new products, it will send a copy to her home, which contains some ointments, soaps and other things, and this time is no exception.
Ten boxes of ointment and twenty boxes of soap.
