Chapter 106 Spending money
Zhao Qiqi felt secretly heartbroken. How much did she earn from selling chili peppers? Yet she spent so much of it in just one go.
She kept a calm face, nodded, and continued to ask with a nonchalant look: "What about Qingwa?"
"The green tiles will cost about twenty taels of silver."
Boss Yan stared at Zhao Qiqi, wanting to see if she would show any embarrassment, but she didn't. She nodded calmly. Is this woman so rich? This is sixty taels of silver. Even he felt pain when he took this money, but this woman didn't care at all.
Not to mention hiring workers and so on, which is a lot of money.
It's true that you can't judge a person by his appearance. This woman doesn't dress well, but she is very generous when she spends money.
He took the opportunity to promote: "Madam, we have professional workers here. They are very fast and efficient. We guarantee that you can build the best in the shortest time!"
As Zhao Qiqi spent more and more money, Boss Yan gradually became more enthusiastic and considerate, and he couldn't stop smiling.
Just kidding, in his eyes, Zhao Qiqi is now the God of Wealth who has no shortage of money. Fortunately, he did not look down on him at the beginning and treated him well, otherwise he would have lost a lot of money.
“How many workers are needed?”
"Looking at the number of houses, hiring seven people to work together would naturally be the fastest." Of course, it would cost more, so he would earn more.
Afraid that she would hesitate, Boss Yan quickly added: "Since you bought so much, we can pay each of us only 25 cents a day. How about that?"
The original rate was thirty cents a day, but he made a lot of money from Zhao Qiqi, so it didn't matter if he gave up some. If she came to them to build a house again in the future, he could make more money. That's how business should be done, with give and take. Make others feel like they are getting the better deal, and then they will think of you next time they have a need.
Zhao Qiqi agreed. After all, the people in the village were not professionals if they did the work themselves, so it would be better to leave such professional matters to professionals. Of course, this workshop had to pursue quality, so it didn't matter if they spent a little more money.
"Madam, please pay a deposit of 20 taels first, and then leave your address. The rest of the money can be paid after all the bricks and tiles are delivered. The same goes for the workers' wages, which can be paid after everything is done."
They can work with confidence with such people, without worrying about the customers owing them money. If they have bad intentions, they may not give you the money even after the house is built and the people have lived in it for a long time.
Those people may not be without money, but they just don't want to give. They hold on to the money tightly in their hands and don't care about the lives of these ordinary people who work there. They are really shameless.
Zhao Qiqi took out money from the system space early in the morning and put it into his purse, which was bulging. He took out twenty taels and put them on the table.
As soon as he saw the money, Boss Yan's eyes lit up, like a mouse entering a rice jar.
"Yan Yan, write down the address."
When Gu Yanyan heard what Zhao Qiqi said, he walked forward, picked up the brush on the table, and wrote: The last house at the end of Gujia Village.
Boss Yan wanted to test them on purpose. After all, their clothes and their ability to spend money seemed very different. He was very curious about why. Could it be that this family deliberately dressed like this to pretend to be poor and save money? But the woman didn't bargain.
But I really didn't expect that this family has such a good background. This kid not only knows how to write, but also writes very beautifully. Boss Yan admits that his own handwriting is not as beautiful as this kid's.
However, he did not study it seriously when he was a child. He was just very interested in arithmetic. When he grew up, he became a shop owner. He was accompanied by an abacus every day, and the beads clattered. This was his ideal life.
He smiled as he put away the silver and address, and sent Zhao Qiqi and others to the door. When he saw them getting on the carriage, he was even more shocked. Carriage!
What kind of family is this? They actually use a horse-drawn carriage. You know, few people in this town have horse-drawn carriages! They use ox-drawn carts to deliver goods! !
Before, I thought they were just an ordinary family with some money. However, horses are not something that ordinary people can afford and are not willing to buy. There are only two purposes for buying horses: one is for traveling, and the other is for transporting goods.
But this family dressed like this and had no maids when traveling, unlike those wealthy families. That meant they were delivering goods, using such a high-end horse-drawn carriage... He had previously thought that the workshop that Mrs. Zhao was talking about was a small business. After all, it was opened in the village. To be able to deliver goods by horse-drawn carriage, the goods must be of high-end quality, so that they could make back their investment.
Jealousy makes people feel depressed. He watched Zhao Qiqi's family leave with a sad heart. He had worked like a slave for decades, but he still couldn't buy a carriage. Why! Why!
Where did the money go? He wants to make money, make money well, and make money hard!
It's just a carriage, he's not jealous or envious!
Boss Yan packed up his things and handed the shop over to his wife. All that was needed here was to register some information, which was not a big deal, so it would be the same even if he was not there.
Boss Yan now wants to go to the brick factory to take inventory immediately and deliver the goods to Zhao Qiqi quickly so that he can receive the money quickly. The current market conditions are not good, so he is so excited to meet a big customer like Zhao Qiqi.
Now that the brick and tile matters had been settled, there was nothing else important to do. Zhao Qiqi planned to take the children for a walk on the street. Except for Gu Yanyan who needed to go to school, all the other children were there.
"Go down, buy whatever you want, and go shopping by yourself."
Zhao Qiqi’s main focus is on happy life and she does not restrict her children’s thoughts. Of course, this is also because they are sensible and have self-control. Occasionally indulging themselves will not have any bad effects, but may instead motivate them.
The streets are filled with things, the dazzling array of things is so eye-catching, and many vendors pass by them, walking through the streets, some selling handicrafts, and some snacks.
Various aromas came from all directions. This was the busiest street in Qixian Town. The sounds of hawking were endless. From time to time, a few children would rush forward holding the things they had bought, followed by a group of other children chasing and playing.
