Chapter 233: Chapter 231 (12) Price Reduction? You must be joking
However, when faced with the reluctance of this young clerk, this group of rchants dressed in fine attire revealed a fawning smile and repeatedly bowed to the young man:
“Ah my, we were rash, we were rash, it was just being anxious, please forgive us if there were any shortcomings, forgive us, please.”
It must be said, these words left the clerk startled.
He had never expected these people to be so polite.
Although rchants are regarded of a lower status in today’s society, one should not forget, their profession is also in comrce.
Because of this, when facing these grand rchants, he was not comparable.
Especially considering he was just a minor clerk.
Although his boss in this shop was very imposing, it didn’t warrant such a sycophantic deanor from others.
However, once he recalled that this was the Emperor’s shop, his confidence surged again.
Especially with a few soldiers wielding swords near him.
He was also in comrce, but the nature was different.
He was conducting business on behalf of the Emperor; how could he be the sa as these humble rchants?
He also raised his head slightly and waved his hand at them, asking:
“Alright, alright, what do you gentlen wish to do? Are you here to buy glazed glass, or what?”
Upon hearing this, the group looked at one another and then, the chubby leader stepped forward, bowed again towards the young man and said:
“You see young man, so of us are thinking of returning to our hotown, thus we thought of buying a few more pieces to share with our families.
May I ask, young man, how much glazed glassware is your shop selling today? Could we perhaps have a good look at them?”
Upon hearing that these people indeed wanted to purchase glazed glass, and the implication that they wanted to buy more, the clerk’s eyes lit up.
You know, selling glazed glass reaps a commission, and just yesterday, so clerks made hundreds of taels in commissions.
This truly made the young man envious.
Especially considering his own sales skills were diocre.
Yesterday, his sales commission was just around a dozen Silver taels.
Although these Silver taels were already an astronomical figure, with those few hundreds taels displayed there, it seed insignificant.
Especially since yesterday, he was among those who earned the least.
This was also why he was the first to co and open the shop today.
At present, those real sales personnel were still having breakfast behind.
But he never imagined that as soon as he opened the shop, so many rchants would pour in.
And seeing their manner, wasn’t his spring about to arrive?
Especially since those other clerks were still dining in the back dining hall, thus there was no one to compete with him for these custors.
With this thought, the excitent of the clerk clearly rose further.
Regarding those rchants who had initially startled him, any unpleasant feelings vanished instantly, replaced by a very friendly deanor as he waved to them and beckoned:
“Hi, you should have said so earlier, you gave quite a scare.
Co, co, just last night a new batch of glazed glass was shelved, not a few in quantity, and the variety is quite comprehensive.
You, gentlen, are the first custors today. Therefore, you can definitely pick so great items, co on, let show you.”
Saying this, he led these dozen people towards the counter.
Upon hearing that a new batch of glazed glass had just been put up last night, the rchants looked at each other, and excitent filled their eyes.
Originally, they were worried about making a fruitless trip today, fearing that only yesterday’s leftovers would be remaining in the shop, but now it seems, they were overthinking.
Following the footsteps of the clerk, they swiftly arrive at the long row of counters. Peering through the transparent counter, they imdiately saw a dazzling array of brand new glazed glass.
However, as the shop had just opened, there weren’t candles lit in the counter.
This made the glazed glass look less sparkling and dazzling than yesterday.
Nevertheless, even without the embellishnt of candles and firelight, to these rchants, it looked nearly as good.
After all, with just a rough look, they could already discern the quality of the glazed glass, comparing favorably with what was available yesterday.
As for comparing it to what’s available on the market, it’s far superior.
Especially today, as they were the first ones to visit, the store’s inventory was absolutely complete.
Looking at the rows and rows of glazed glassware inside the counter, stars appeared in the rchants’ eyes:
“Young man, could we possibly negotiate the prices of these glazed glassware a bit lower?”
Following the modern practices, each piece of glazed glassware had a small wooden label in front displaying its price.
The mont they saw the prices of these items, the rchants instantly smiled broadly and lifted their heads to look at the young clerk.
Upon hearing their question, the clerk imdiately shook his head without hesitation and said:
“Lower the prices? Aren’t you gentlen joking with ?
If you didn’t co early today, it wouldn’t take long for these items to be gone from here.”
Especially thinking of the fiery sales scene from yesterday, this made the young clerk even more confident.
Of course, about those things happening at the court, these people naturally would not know.
Not to ntion these clerks, even these rchants currently present were unaware.
Upon hearing the clerk’s words, a realization dawned on the rchants.
Indeed, they had visited yesterday.
They had seen the booming sales for themselves.
With this understanding, the rchants looked at each other and then nodded slightly to one another. Seeing this, the middle-aged chubby leader imdiately smiled broadly at the young man and said:
“Hehe, you’re absolutely right, young man. Since that’s the case, we won’t discuss the price anymore.
How about this, we will take this row and the next one, we want them all.”
…This chapter ends…
