327 Commission
Gu Qingming had built a shop. If anyone in the village wanted to sell anything, they could sell it here.
However, she charged a commission for everything that was consigned to her.
Of course, Gu Qingming did not care about this commission at all. However, it was impossible for Gu Qingming to serve these people for free.
“A commission? How?” a villager asked curiously.
“3 dollars for 100 dollars!” Gu Qingming said. “That’s 3% commission.”
“Ha, is it that expensive?” A villager was a little unhappy when he heard that he had to pay a commission to sell his family’s produce.
Of course, they wouldn’t say it out loud.
Gu Qingming did not explain to them. She said, “Anyone who wants to consign sothing to needs to pay a commission!”
A villager rolled her eyes and said, “Little Gu, we’re just selling so small things to subsidize the family. It’s just a small sum. Can we forget about it?”
At this point, she paused for a mont before continuing, “Look at how rich your family is. They don’t lack us, right?”
Gu Qingming shook her head and said with a serious expression, “Aunt, since I opened this shop, it’s equivalent to doing business. Business has nothing to do with size! My shop will be placed here. If you don’t feel good about the commission, you can choose not to sell it!”
She would not spoil these people. If she spoiled them, they would beco her enemies.
The villager imdiately said in embarrassnt, “I was just saying.”
If Gu Qingming created this online shopping platform, she could really sell everyone’s things. She would only lose a few dollars in commission, but she would gain more. This was better than wasting it at ho.
Gu Qingming discussed it with her family before going to the village committee.
The village cadres held another eting of village cadres and spread the news of Gu Qingming opening an online shop and selling things on behalf of the village.
Then, everyone knew that Gu Qingming had to take a commission for selling things for everyone.
Although the commission was not much, the money that was drawn was theirs.
Many people agreed. After all, no one would do a free job for no reason. They were not doing charity.
Even if the operations were for charity, there was a handling fee.
There were also people who were secretly dissatisfied.
They thought that since Gu Qingming was so rich, how could she take a fancy to such a small sum of money? To put it bluntly, it was exploitation.
Of course, Gu Qingming also maintained that it was their prerogative whether they wanted to sell their things through her platform!
…
Zhou Fangfang ca to report to Gu Qingming.
Gu Qingming did not let her do anything else for the ti being. She only asked her to manage the online shops.
This shop specialized in selling village specialties.
Of course, they had yet to start the business. This shop needed to be perfected and so pictures needed to be uploaded.
Zhou Fangfang did not expect Gu Qingming to hire her to perform custor service.
Yes, it was custor service!
However, it didn’t matter. Her goal was money. As a custor service provider, as long as she did it well, she could still get a raise.
“Little Gu, can my taro be sold?” Third Master Shi asked happily and excitedly when he saw Gu Qingming.
That day, Third Master Shi gave Gu Qingming a basket of taro to try. Gu Qingming only took two catties to try and found that the taste was indeed not bad.
It was big and round, and its taste was fragrant and soft.
Gu Qingming said, “Third Master, it should be able to be sold! Now that the online shop is open, I’ll co to your place to take a few photos and put them in the shop. If soone likes them, they’ll naturally place an order.”
When Third Master Shi heard this, he was as happy as a child.
He turned around and ca out with a basket of taros. He said, “How are we going to take a photo? Should we move all the taros out?”
Gu Qingming asked, “Third Master, how many taros do you have?”
“Little Gu, co in and take a look!” Third Master Shi let Gu Qingming enter the house.
Gu Qingming followed Third Master Shi into the house. Then, she ca to the ventilated house and saw that the ground was filled with taros.
Gu Qingming estimated that it weighed at least a thousand catties.
Gu Qingming asked, “Third Master, how many taros has your family planted? There are actually so many!”
Third Uncle chuckled and said, “Actually, I didn’t plant much. I only planted five seeds. Who knew that the harvest would be so big? It’s just that there’s so much. I’m a little worried about how to sell it!”
Gu Qingming was speechless. Didn’t you think about how to sell it before you planted it?
Third Uncle continued, “Previously, the villagers said that I planted taros well, so I thought of planting more. I wanted to see if I could go to town to sell them from ti to ti so that I could have so inco from ti to ti. However, there are too many taros at ho. I can sell so every Market Day, but after selling for so long, I can only sell two to three hundred catties. Those in the village who don’t grow taros will also co to to weigh them.”
At this point, Third Master Shi asked worriedly, “Little Gu, I have so many taros at ho. Can we sell them all?”
Gu Qingming said, “Third Master, there’s a lot of traffic online. Your taro is so good. It might be sold out. You don’t have to worry!”
When Third Master Shi heard this, he said happily, “Oh, I see. Then I’ll have to trouble you, Little Gu.”
Gu Qingming asked, “Third Master, do you have a location for the sale of this taro?”
Little Master Shi said, “I usually go to Wei Town to sell it. I sell it for one or two dollars a catty. Xiao Gu, look at my taro. How much is it good to sell it in your shop? Give a price!”
Gu Qingming thought for a mont and said, “Third Master, I’ll check how the others sell it first. I’ll reply to you later, okay?”
“Yes, of course, you can!” Third Uncle smiled and said, “No matter how much you sell, I’ll be happy if you can sell all these taros!”
After that, Gu Qingming went to the other families to take photos.
After returning ho, Gu Qingming instructed Zhou Fangfang to check the price set by other shops on Taobao.
...
As soon as Gu Qingming returned ho, she saw Grandma Gu sitting at the entrance of the courtyard with the child.
The child was almost two months old. Although she still did not raise her head much, she slept much less. After waking up, she did not cry or make a fuss. Her eyes rolled around as if she was looking for her mother!
She was wearing a red Tang suit and was wrapped in red swaddling clothes. She looked delicate and cute.
As soon as she saw her mother appear, there was an “oh-oh” sound coming from her mouth. A cute smile appeared on her little face.
Gu Qingming clapped her hands and looked at the child. She smiled and said, “Little Orange, do you want Mommy to carry you? Co on!”
Little Orange kept making “yayaya” sounds.
“Haha, this child recognizes people.” Grandma Gu smiled and said, “Look, she’s smiling so happily when she sees Mom!”
“How old is she? She already knows how to recognize people. Shee’s indeed a smart child!” Grandpa Gu smiled and said, “As expected of the Gu family’s descendant!”
After Gu Qingming took the child, she went to her room to feed the child.
