Baby carriages and the like still have a significant market.
Especially in places like the capital.
Recently, Chu Cai was so busy he wished he could eat als right in the woodworking shop. Following Ye Muyu’s suggestion, he outsourced so parts like wheels and fabric seats.
There are quite a few commoners in the capital, who have no fixed place and rely on finding odd jobs to earn silver for daily living, or have a small shop to make a living.
Hearing that doing odd jobs could earn money, naturally, many joined in, relieving so of Chu Cai’s burden.
The shop Madam Wang bought initially did not have a clear direction, so similar to their hotown, she simply opened a woodworking shop, selling anything produced in Chu Cai’s workshop.
The baby carriages that first ca out were once a craze in the capital, with many people rushing to buy them.
However, at that ti, Chu Cai was more often busy making looms. Though baby carriages are simple, they needed to be sanded smooth, which was ti-consuming, so they didn’t produce many.
Once they were sold out, there was a shortage when people wanted to buy more.
The baby walkers were too simple. The capital had many skilled craftsn, and even carpenters from other state governnt offices bought one and soon produced many imitations.
However, the baby carriages from the Chu family’s shop were of superior quality and had already made a na for themselves, so naturally, those of status and face would buy from the Chu family.
After all, for those serving in the sa court, it would be sowhat embarrassing to be known by the Chu family for buying imitations from others.
These rchants selling imitation baby carriages also had connections with aristocrats, but they were smart. They sold only to commoners in the capital market and did not forget to take the goods to farther places to sell. It was a bit troubleso, but it spared the face of their patrons and still made money; these traveling rchants were used to running around. As long as there was silver to be made, they didn’t mind the trouble.
In short, as calculated, there was nothing made by Chu Cai and the craftsn that couldn’t be sold, and the price was at market value. As for imitations, such a thing was too common, and Ye Muyu never intended to monopolize; for the economy to prosper, the market needed to be large, for there to be money to earn.
After Ye Muyu finished organizing, she took Liuye and Lu Chuan to the South City Leisure Residence, where they indeed saw many n waiting in front of an open space outside the courtyard.
The reason this place had a shop and was not good for business was that there were no residents around and it wasn’t lively; this was akin to the end of the street, far from the bustling central area, naturally making business difficult.
Hence, they could spare a large empty space here.
Looking at this empty space, Ye Muyu was very pleased. Couldn’t this place be used for a parking lot!
The elegant residence was ant for the business of wealthy people, and these people definitely traveled by carriage. If there was no place to park the carriages, it would be very inconvenient.
Ye Muyu stood with Lu Chuan at the forefront.
She also brought the accountant from the residence over.
"Everyone, as instructed yesterday, start lining up. The referrer and those you brought should first line up with Accountant Master Song to register household registration, identity, and age. Then Steward Lu will assign detailed jobs to you."
Ye Muyu’s voice was moderate but loud enough for everyone to hear.
But because there were too many people, after she finished speaking, a farce broke out.
"Second Manager, this Li Er is too much. Clearly, we lined up first, but he brought his brother-in-law to cut in line."
