Chapter 617: Miss Tong, you really surprise me.
Hu Haiyun and Guo Jinnian nodded simultaneously. Gu Hongwei was right: Tong Yao was not only well-versed in goods but also wise.
Tong Yao, seeing the admiring looks on the faces of the three, laughed with a crisp voice, "Don’t do this. You guys are praising me so much that I feel like a legend."
Then she said to Hu Haiyun, "Sis Hu, now that we have checked the goods, let’s calculate the value of these items. Friendship and business are separate matters. The buyer is coming to check the goods soon, so we have to calculate the value first."
Hu Haiyun liked Tong Yao’s clear-cut approach, considering that they were all business people striving to make money. If familial terms were used to gain more advantages, Hu Haiyun would resist as such a cooperation would not last.
Tong Yao’s approach made her feel comfortable.
The four of them directly started doing accounts in the warehouse. Gu Hongwei was in charge of bookkeeping, while Tong Yao and Hu Haiyun discussed the prices of the goods. Guo Jinnian listened by the side.
For the same clothes, the prices in Kyoto were much higher than those in Li City. Therefore, Tong Yao added two yuan to each piece of clothing on the basis originally set by Hu Haiyun for selling to Li City merchants. Hu Haiyun had no objections.
As for the telescopes and watches, Tong Yao was not sure what prices they could fetch. So, for the time being, they agreed that Tong Yao would take 30% of the profits after deducting the cost price, and Hu Haiyun would take 70%.
Hu Haiyun had no objection to this because without Tong Yao, she did not have the channels to sell these goods. Even if she had the channels, it was not guaranteed that others would offer her this price; she might even be cheated instead.
Fast cash in Kyoto also required capabilities. Hu Haiyun had realized this when she was doing business in Li City. She had expended some effort in establishing her network when she first started her business in Li City.
