The two of them lowered their heads and discussed the details.
Lin Mo went back and sent Lin Xi out to rent a storefront.
[Requirements: It doesn't have to be too big, but the location has to be good. Pick a crowded and bustling place, even if the price is a little expensive.]
Lin Xi widened her eyes and looked at Lin Mo, waiting for him to say something else.
Lin Mo was a little embarrassed. He was originally just a part-timer and had never done business before, so he really didn't know the details.
"That's all for now." Lin Mo waved his hand.(Actually, a 12 - 13 year old boy didn't have a big hand. It was just a fat paw.))
Lin Mo was anxious. He jumped up and scolded," Who are you calling fat paws? You're the fat paw! Your whole family is fat paws!"”)
After everything was settled, Lin Mo called Qing Ping over and asked her to try making a longer rope.
Qing Ping blinked." Young Master, how long do you want?”
Lin Mo shook his head helplessly. It was so hard to communicate!
"It's just the rope skipping guy.”Lin Mo could only tell Qing Ping this as if he was talking to a kindergarten kid.
Qing Ping rolled her eyes and left.
Lin Mo muttered," In ancient times, it seems that not only the big-faced girl was not afraid of her master. Lin Mo is a peerless expert. A single glance from him can scare the big-faced girl into peeing her pants. The girls under him are also not afraid."”
Lin Xi was walking around on the street! Walking along the crowded streets, she saw a deserted shop.
He walked in quickly. It was a rouge powder seller. Lin Xi muttered in her heart, The rouge and cosmetic powder business can also reach this level.”
When the shop owner saw that someone had arrived, he went up to greet him politely." Little brother, what do you want to buy?”
Lin Xi looked at the shelves and saw that there were some things scattered on the shelves. The packaging had faded from the sun. He thought to himself, No wonder you don't have any customers. Who would take a fancy to this kind of thing?”
"Shopkeeper, your business doesn't look good either!”
The shopkeeper looked vigilant." It's fine."”
Lin Xi laughed in her heart.
"Let's not beat around the bush. Your business probably doesn't earn much money every day. Our young master wants to do business, so he has been looking around.”
The shopkeeper thought to himself," This manservant isn't very old, but he doesn't even breathe when he lies. If this place is a good place with good Feng Shui, my business won't be able to continue!”
"Little brother, my house is not cheap. I'm afraid you can't live in it. Call your young master over tomorrow to discuss it!”The old shopkeeper turned his head and ignored Lin Xi.
Lin Xi cursed in her heart, What kind of attitude is that? No wonder your business is so bad!”
Lin Xi saw that the old shopkeeper no longer paid attention to him, so he had to come out.
He asked around about the rent and went back to report to Lin Mo.
"Young Master, I have a good view of a house on West Street. It sells rouge and cosmetic powder, but no customers came to visit for a long time. The old shopkeeper also wants to rent it out and asked Young Master to go and discuss it tomorrow.”Lin Xi reported the situation to Lin Mo.
He also told Lin Mo about the rental prices of the shops nearby. The ones that were twice as expensive as this one were five hundred taels of silver a year, the ones that were slightly bigger than his were three hundred taels a year, and the ones that were about the same as his were two hundred taels a year.
His room was only worth two hundred taels of silver.
Lin Mo praised Lin Xi for doing a good job and gave him two taels of silver. (Boohoo, I want to tip too.)
The next day, Lin Xi led Lin Mo to West Street. West Street was crowded with people and was especially lively.
After walking for a while, Lin Mo saw a deserted shop.
"Hey, that's the one." Lin Xi was pointing at the bleak shop.
The two of them walked in and the old shopkeeper came out. It was the young man from yesterday, leading a handsome young master.
"Elder, Lin Xi has already told me the general situation. If you are willing, let's sit down and discuss it.”Lin Mo said amiably and politely.
The old shopkeeper immediately had a good impression of him.
The two of them sat down and quickly discussed the rent. It was two hundred and fifty taels of silver a year. If he rented it for three years in one go, it would be seven hundred and fifty taels. If he paid it over three years, he would have to pay ten percent more each year, which was equivalent to interest.
The old shopkeeper pondered for a while and said that he wanted to pay in full once every three years.
He felt that this young master was probably a profligate son who had used the family's silver to squander. The three-year rent was enough for him and his daughter to eat and drink for the rest of their lives. Even if they couldn't rent it out, it wouldn't matter.
Lin Mo then signed the contract with the old shopkeeper. Both of them signed and kept a copy each.
Lin Mo couldn't understand why the old shopkeeper would be in such dire straits when he owned a shop in a prime location. Little did they know that in ancient times, there were not many rich people. Ordinary people could not afford to rent such an expensive shop. Moreover, the high-ranking officials and nobles would sometimes forcefully occupy it, so the old shopkeeper seemed very down and out.
It was not easy for him to meet a fool like Lin Mo. The old shopkeeper was so happy that his butt was full of dimples.
Lin Mo immediately took out a banknote from his pocket and paid the rent.
From then on, he would start his own hot business.
Lin Mo really wanted to laugh out loud.
Seven or eight days later, Lin Mo's shop opened. Kicking and jumping.
This name had been despised by Daiyu for a long time.
However, it was attractive. In addition, Lin Mo's opening ceremony was accompanied by firecrackers and gongs. There were also dancers specially hired at the entrance who danced with shuttlecock and rope skipping. Shuttlecock, shuttlecock, strengthen the body! Skipping rope, skipping rope, becoming thinner and more beautiful!
On the shelves were a dazzling array of shuttlecock and skipping ropes. Ordinary skipping ropes and shuttlecocks cost 100 wen each, and high-grade ones cost 500 wen each.
There were also extravagant ones that were sewn with gold brocade and inserted with rare feathers such as peacock feathers and wild goose feathers. Even if they had money, they did not have it in stock. They had to pay a deposit first and wait for three to five months.
There were also high and low grade skipping ropes. Ordinary linen rope cost a hundred copper coins, and high-grade ones were also made of gorgeous brocade with silver and gold wire inside. The prices varied.
Even so, the business was booming after opening for a week. The supply of ordinary products was in short supply, and the high-end products had already been reserved for the next year.
Lin Mo instructed everyone to speed up the production and hired another batch of workers.
After resting, Lin Mo did the calculations. After deducting the cost, he earned a net profit of more than 10,000 taels.
However, Lin Mo knew that there was no such thing as a registered trademark in this era. This business would definitely not last long. Soon, people would imitate it and sell it at a low price. If he wanted to continue doing it for a long time, he had to think of a way. He had to either find a way to cling to a thigh or make other products.
The servants and masters in the Jia residence also bought a lot of shuttlecock skipping ropes. Everyone played with them happily every day.
Tanchun secretly asked Daiyu if the shop on West Street that was doing so well belonged to Lin Mo.
Daiyu only said that she did not know.
