I opened a tavern in Datang/Datang: My peerless talent was exposed

Then if the quality and brand of kitchen knives are different from each other, will the blame be thrown on him by then?

So he doesn't do this kind of thing, he wants to find a stable supplier now!

Lao Zhu looked at Zhang Nuo and frowned, thinking that he had talked too much, but thinking about it again, no, this shopkeeper, which business is not a big deal, how much money do I have for this little thing in total?

So, is this a dislike for too little supply?

Thinking of this, Lao Zhu's heart was burning, and he said quickly,

"Shopkeeper, it's actually easy to make kitchen knives. If you want a large quantity, I can also invite a few apprentices to work together, and the output can be greatly increased!"

Chapter 284 Old Zhu Plans to Increase Production

Zhang Nuo looked at the excited old Zhu in front of him, and smiled playfully. This old Zhu is really a smart person, he knows what he cares about.

However, Zhang Nuo is not so easy to let go. As a store, in fact, the most worrying thing is not the business, but getting into trouble, and the most likely thing to happen in a chain supermarket is the trouble of the quality of the goods.

However, there is no way to avoid this kind of trouble for the time being. After all, the goods are not produced by supermarkets, but are purchased from suppliers. If you do not grasp well during the procurement stage, the chances of accidents will increase infinitely.

So, after hearing Lao Zhu's words at this moment, the first feeling is that Lao Zhu is not planning to cheat himself.

In the current Tang Dynasty, the productivity is extremely low. Although kitchen knives are cheap and can be found everywhere, if you think that a random blacksmith apprentice can make a good kitchen knife, you are delusional. .

If some of Lao Zhu's things come from his hands and some from his apprentices, then it will be troublesome at that time.

In the same store, if you sell kitchen knives at the same price, but they are good or bad, will there be troubles for customers to come to the supermarket?

Therefore, Zhang Nuo looked at Lao Zhu and said slowly,

"Old Zhu, you have to understand one thing. As for me, I am a businessman, but what matters in business is word of mouth. If word of mouth is gone, business will not be easy!"

Lao Zhu was a little puzzled when he heard this, but when he saw Zhang Nuo's expression again, his heart skipped a beat. He understood what he had just said wrong, so he quickly explained,

"Shopkeeper, don't mind, I was the one who said the wrong thing just now, Lao Zhu, and I am also an honest and responsible person, how can I do something that is shoddy."

"I said that I can attract apprentices to increase production because I have several apprentices. They come to me every two or three days to help and learn skills. They usually have to work to earn money. Their skills are actually Not bad!"

"And the most important thing is that the kitchen knife itself is the first thing an apprentice learns to forge when he enters the blacksmith's shop. If he can't forge a good kitchen knife, he is not qualified to call himself an apprentice!"

Zhang Nuo was taken aback when he heard this, but he was still a little uncertain and asked,

"Then what your apprentice built, can you guarantee that the quality is exactly the same as yours?"

Lao Zhu thought about it for a while, and said seriously,

"As long as I check the quenching and entering the furnace, the quality should be the same. After all, it is not a weapon, and the requirements are not so strict!"

Zhang Nuo touched his chin, thought about it, and then said seriously,

"Well, if I want you to make five hundred kitchen knives a month, can you supply them?"

Old Zhu opened his mouth unconsciously, God, what kind of business is this, is this buying a lot of kitchen knives as gifts or something?

Five hundred?He didn't sell [-] kitchen knives last year, but now he needs to make [-] a month?

As a result, the shock continued, and Zhang Nuo added,

"Of course, this is a guarantee, that is to say, I promise to purchase a minimum of [-] kitchen knives every month, but there may be more. However, no matter how small it is, it will not be less than [-]. Can you do it?"

Lao Zhu took a deep breath, then turned his head to look in his blacksmith shop, pondered for a while and said seriously,

"Shopkeeper, you take care of me, Lao Zhu, and Lao Zhu will naturally admit it. If there is such a business, Lao Zhu, I have to expand the shop first, and then prepare the raw materials in advance. When do you want it? Arrange people to start building in advance! You must not delay your business!"

Zhang Nuo smiled, not to mention how good the quality is, but the current attitude of Lao Zhu at least satisfied him, he said with a smile,

"You are different from other people. I have preferential treatment for you here. I will give you an order of [-] kitchen knives and give you a [-]% deposit. With the deposit, you can expand the store and recruit people!"

"It costs money to prepare materials, and I'm afraid it will cost money to tidy up this blacksmith shop. At least you have to buy tools for your apprentices so that you can start working at the same time!"

"Take the deposit and get it quickly. It's best to get this kitchen knife ready for me in advance, as well as scissors and other items. As long as you have it, you will prepare it for me!"

"Don't worry, the goods I want will only increase, and your business will also get better and better. As long as your quality and output can keep up, then I won't cut off your business!"

Hearing Zhang Nuo's eloquent words, Old Zhu laughed like a fool. He was not worried that Zhang Nuo would lie to him, and he didn't hear what the shopkeeper had just said, so he had to give him a deposit first.

The money is all in hand, so there is nothing to say, who is joking with a large sum of money.

But at this moment, a ball of fire in his heart was also burning fiercely. Didn't he think that Lao Zhu could do something big in his lifetime?

At least [-] kitchen knives per month, that's [-] guan's worth. According to what Xiao Zhang said just now, do you still need scissors and other things?

Wouldn't that be more profitable?

Moreover, this is still the least amount, wouldn't it be possible to earn more in the future.

He had thought that the stoves he built during the winter would be enough to support his family and save enough money.

But I didn't expect that the reward would be so generous if I didn't reveal the way to build the stove just out of the duty of repaying the kindness.

This is not one o'clock or two o'clock. Lao Zhu looked at the blacksmith shop where he had just bought new things in the winter, and immediately began to think in his heart that after getting the deposit from the shopkeeper Xiao Zhang, should he not add the property he had saved? , just build a big blacksmith workshop?

He never doubted that he could make money with Zhang Nuo. In his eyes, the shopkeeper Xiao Zhang was like a fairy. Not only did he already have a fifth-rank official status, but he could also do business in partnership with His Majesty.

This matter was told to him by the clerk of the winery. Didn't he see that there is still a waiter in the winery managing the money.

How capable is it to be able to make a business partnership with His Majesty?

Moreover, this shopkeeper Zhang is not only in the business of brewing wine, restaurants, bookstores, and other businesses are also popular, and there is no sign of decline.

Such a person is simply the God of Wealth alive.

Old Zhu has no other skills, but he knows a truth, as long as the opportunity presents itself, he must seize it quickly.

Now the shopkeeper Xiao Zhang obviously gave him a bowl of rice to take care of the past friendship, so he has to eat this bowl of rice well.

Shopkeeper Xiaozhang dislikes his low output, so let’s expand the shop. Even if shopkeeper Xiaozhang places an order of [-] kitchen knives a month, he will have to make them beautifully for him!

Chapter 285 Zhang Nuo Stepped on a Landmine

Zhang Nuo put Lao Zhu's blacksmith shop first, just to get off to a good start.

Lao Zhu and him already had friendship, not to mention he placed the order directly with money, so Lao Zhu would naturally have no problem here.

But getting it done is only the first step of the Long March, and there are still several workshops to be done.

In Zhang Nuo's mind, it is not possible to pursue the best of everything for the time being, but to be as complete as possible.

In other words, as long as there is a little change in the pocket of the family, they can find something they need after they come in.

This is the biggest knowledge of supermarkets in later generations. As long as you enter the door, you have to go around in a big circle if you want to go out. But when you walk around, you will find that, uh, this home seems to be gone, uh, that one seems to be OK Add a little to the family, and then it will be a big basket if you are not careful.

Naturally, Zhang Nuo couldn't compete with the later generations at this time. It was a modern society where commodity production and material circulation were carried out, so the situation here is naturally different.

However, Zhang Nuo still wants to enrich the goods inside as much as possible. Top-notch items, such as alcohol and snow salt, are naturally provided by himself, but those items with lower profits and more labor-intensive time are better purchased from others. .

It's not about getting rich first and getting rich later, but Zhang Nuo doesn't have so many human resources to do these things.

Anyway, as long as these workshops board their own boats, hehe, after seeing the horrible sales in the supermarket, I am afraid that none of them will be willing to quit.

After signing a formal contract with Lao Zhu, Zhang Nuo brought Gou Zi and Xing Ben to work together in Chang'an City.

Rice bowls, vegetable bowls, firewood, mutton, cloth...

Zhang Nuo almost determined the goods, output and supply methods in each household according to the various categories of clothing, food, housing and transportation.

However, it will not be so easy after that. Even if Zhang Nuo paid the deposit, they will still doubt Zhang Nuo's strength and whether he can purchase so many things.

After all, at present, Datang's business is not particularly developed. If they produce too much, it will take up a lot of money to hoard it in the warehouse.

Fortunately, Zhang Nuo didn't have any other skills, but he had a smooth mouth. Coupled with the heavy cash and constant drawing of big cakes, he finally got the workshops to sign the contract smoothly for him.

This busy work lasted a whole day, and except for Lao Zhu's place where he didn't waste much time, almost every other family did not waste much time.

After all, there are very few businesses with such strict requirements. It doesn't matter if you order a lot, and it doesn't matter if you have strict quality requirements, but it is a bit too much to have requirements for output.

But this is what Zhang Nuo is most worried about. He is afraid that when a certain item is easy to sell, it will not be available, and it will be troublesome.

Therefore, even if Zhang Nuo wants to lose money and make money today, he must make good purchase channels.

Moreover, Zhang Nuo smiled superficially to the shopkeepers who almost took him for a fool today, and just avoided the trap, but in fact, Zhang Nuo had already recorded these people in his small notebook. up.

He hasn't set up a chain supermarket yet, and these people still don't know what kind of terrifying channel he has in his hands. After a few months, the supermarket will be opened, and they will also taste the taste of cooperation with the supermarket. Stabbed them with a knife and kicked them off the boat.

At that time, they will probably know how terrifying the person who masters the sales channel will be.

As for all the anger Zhang Nuo received today, I'm afraid that not only will all of it come out by then, but he might even earn a lot of money.

Zhang Nuo is not a young boy who has just entered the society, he knows when it is time to turn his face.

Therefore, even though Gouzi was furious and Xingben touched the knife several times, he smiled and said nothing happened.

Just kidding, a supplier who is destined to be abandoned and killed by him is nothing more than wool.

However, today is a really tiring day. After all, several business negotiations were held in a row. pit.

So Zhang Nuo was working with full energy, and now it was finally over. When he half-lyed in the carriage and swayed back home, Zhang Nuo's whole body completely softened.

It's better to go home, eat a delicious meal, hold a delicious red jade, maybe the two of them can learn some new knowledge when they work out at night, it's really not too happy.

Looking back at what he has gained today, he is actually not particularly familiar with and proficient in business, although in terms of strategic thinking, he may be much more knowledgeable than people of this era, so he can look down on others from this aspect.

But when it comes to dealing with people and intrigues, in front of those old foxes, he can only be equal at best, and if he is not careful, he will fall into a disadvantage.

After all, this thing pays attention to life experience and emotional intelligence, not to say that you have more knowledge. The kind of craft that accidentally tells you a word, even in later generations, only some people can learn it.

Zhang Nuo also reminded himself this time, don't underestimate the ancients. Although the ancients are much weaker than him in terms of knowledge and insight, they are not necessarily weaker than him in other aspects, and even in some aspects. Strong are normal.

At least in his opinion, the few friends who came with Lao Li, Lao Du, Lao Sun and others are all good people, and Lao Li is not bad, they are all active minds.

Even if such a person is placed in later generations, I am afraid that they will stand out in a short time, let alone this era.

At this time, Zhang Nuo was also sighing, no wonder Lao Li became friends with him, he is not bad, and now he has become the leading businessman in Chang'an City.

Originally, Zhang Nuo had worked hard all day today, and he was waiting to enter the door to take a shower and have a meal, but in the end, the good mood he had maintained on the road because of the smooth negotiation was completely gone the moment he got off the car.

He also blamed himself, it was fine to get off the car in front of his house, but he had to get off at the entrance of the village, and planned to take a walk in the village, of course, it was because his legs were a little numb after sitting for a long time.

But it's so hard to die, the day was dark, the light was not particularly bright, and he didn't pay attention to it, so he stepped on a pile of landmines after getting out of the car and walking two steps.

Zhang Nuo's face was dark at the moment, and when he looked closely, hey, the side of the road was like that, and it spread almost scattered all the way to the village.

For the first time, Zhang Nuo felt that he was being too kind in managing Zhuangzi. He had agreed not to defecate indiscriminately.

Zhang Nuo has no other ideas at the moment, just one way, starting tomorrow, the whole village will undergo a major health inspection!

Chapter 286 Zhang Nuo's Health Reform

Zhang Nuo is not a clean freak, but at least he loves cleanliness.Therefore, Zhang Nuo was extremely depressed about this kind of stepping on landmines.

He is wearing a pair of deerskin boots today, which were given to him by Lao Li. The workmanship is very good and they are very comfortable to wear. For a person like him who does not usually do strenuous exercise, they are very suitable. .

He would naturally wear sportswear and sneakers when he was exercising, but on weekdays, he was more particular about his Yanju uniform from the Tang Dynasty. He has been trying his best not to be an outlier, so he paid special attention to this aspect.

It is precisely because of this that he attaches great importance to this pair of shoes that he particularly likes.Of course, how important it was before, how depressed it is now.

Zhang Nuo rubbed on the muddy ground beside him for a long time, and then he didn't have any intention of wandering around in the village. He sat in the carriage immediately, and he didn't go in. He squeezed into the driver's seat next to Xingben , The legs are stretched out.

The first thing I do when I get home is to quickly take off my shoes and throw them away.

How unlucky!

During dinner, everyone laughed when they heard Zhang Nuo's complaints, especially Mr. Li, who laughed so hard that he bent over.

"Xiao Langjun, there is no way to do this. When you are at home on weekdays, you can still pay attention to it, but what can you do outside?"

"Isn't that how it's done every day?"

Zhang Nuo sighed and said seriously,

"There is a big problem here. One is a disgusting person, so I won't talk about it, but the most important thing is not this, it is a hygiene problem!"

"You must know that feces are the most likely to breed poisonous insects. Once these poisonous insects bite people, they will spread diseases. Many plagues are actually caused by unsanitary hygiene in the first place!"

Hearing what Zhang Nuo said, Li Yuan stood up in surprise,

"Boy Zhang, are you serious? Is it as serious as you said?"

Zhang Nuo nodded,

"Of course, especially in a place like Chang'an City, why should Jinshui be sent out of the city for unified treatment? One is for everyone to live comfortably, and the other is to keep it clean. Don't you find anything wrong, old man?"

"During the plague, the poorer and the more sloppy, the easier it is to get sick. On the contrary, those who are rich and particular, even get sick later!"
