Chapter 547: Equal Exchange

In fact, the minds of these businessmen are not at all on the greeting envoys, is the greeting envoys more important than money? Is there a rich pro? These businessmen didn't say what they thought in their hearts, they all came to see Zhen Qian, but they just wanted to go into the crystal room to see what tricks Zhen Qian had played in this crystal room.

"Everyone, please come in!"

A man dressed as a servant made a gesture of please, and the merchants hurriedly tidied up their messy clothes, and by this time the door had been pushed open.

"Huh!"

All the businessmen's hearts couldn't help but sink, and they were a little different from their original thoughts! The hall in front of me is extremely tall and wide, but there is no exquisite decoration, but it looks simple, it should be said that it is simple, much worse than its own decoration.

Some merchants also found some differences, that is, the floor was also covered with pale cyan porcelain tiles, making the whole hall look very flat and smooth. There are only a few wrought iron lampstands on the walls, and because it is noon, the sunlight outside the house just shines in, and it looks even more empty.

On both sides of the hall is a very long and deep corridor, there is no difference, but the staircase in front of it is more atmospheric and different, not the usual wooden structure, but a stone staircase.

Led by the servants, the group made their way up the stone staircase until they reached the top floor.

"It's here!"

Some people sigh, flashy! It looks good on the outside, but it's a pity that the decoration inside is inconspicuous and looks a little shabby, which is completely different from the identity of this greeting envoy.

"Please come in! The greeting envoy is waiting for you inside! ”

The servant pushed open a door again, and a cold air rushed towards him, making all the merchants feel comfortable, and at this time, they were still using ice cubes to cool down, what a luxury!

Just when these businessmen were surprised by Zhen Qian's extravagance, a maid from inside the door had already walked out and beckoned everyone outside the door to enter the house.

Walking into the room, I saw Zhen Qian sitting on a very large leather chair, the chair was a little special, it looked very big at first glance, and it completely wrapped Zhen Qian sitting on it, but at the second glance, I found that Zhen Qian seemed to be completely trapped in this chair, very comfortable with Erlang's legs, looking carefully at what he was holding in his hand, and saw the businessman who walked in outside the door, and pointed to the chairs on both sides and said: "Since you are here, don't be modest, sit down!" ”

Many of these businessmen had some dealings with Zhen Qian, and they knew that Zhen Qian didn't like red tape, so they bowed to Zhen Qian and sat down in the nearest seat.

"This chair ......!"

Suddenly, a businessman screamed, as if his buttocks were on fire, attracting the disgruntled eyes of everyone.

"Shouting, it's too rude, what a system!"

Although these businessmen and scholars are not touched, they usually take scholars as the standard everywhere, and from time to time they are also vassals and elegant, what calligraphy and painting ancient books, which family does not hide a lot, for fear of being looked down upon by others.

The screaming merchant opened his mouth to say something, but was immediately silenced by a glance at those disdainful eyes, and sat down carefully again.

"Huh! This one....... ”

A series of surprises rang out, and then they were immediately silenced, just looking at the merchant who had not yet sat down.

At this time, Zhen Qian put down the paper in his hand, pointed to the chair next to him, and said with a smile: "This is a sofa, it's very soft, everyone try it, how do you feel?" ”

"Sofa!"

There are already people touching the sofa under them with their hands, and when their bodies move, the sofa under them also moves, which is much more comfortable than sitting on soft cushions, but they are a little unaccustomed to it at first.

Zhen Qian's visit to the leased area of Nagasaki Town this time was ostensibly because of the letter from these businessmen asking about returning to China immediately, but in fact, it was because of the matter of the crystal house.

This time, the Tang merchants encountered a storm in the Wa Kingdom, and less than 30% of the merchant ships arrived in the Wa Kingdom, which can be described as a heavy loss, although a buying meeting was held to make up for part of the losses, but it was still not comparable with the previous profits. In particular, the Wa Kingdom did not allow Tang merchants to enter Kyoto, what is the place in Kyoto, although the Wa Kingdom is small, but Kyoto is also the most prosperous place in the Wa Kingdom, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a gold cave, if you can bring the goods of the Tang Dynasty to Kyoto, the price will naturally rise several times, but the Wa Kingdom obviously did not give Tang Shang face this time, and Tang Shang had fire in his heart but could not send it.

Seeing the huge loss of this trip to the Japanese country, the businessman was not in a hurry, the only thing that could make these businessmen feel better was that before returning to China this time, they did not have to sell the goods at a lower price like last time, and the inventory in their hands would be slowly shipped in the rental area, which could be regarded as a reduction in losses.

The meaning of the existence of businessmen is to make profits, and without profits, the existence of businessmen has no meaning.

Merchants may not be sensitive to political winds, but they are absolutely sensitive to the value of goods to the bone marrow, and when they see the whole piece of crystal material being used as window paper, all the merchants immediately smell the business opportunities.

No businessman thinks that Zhen Qian is showing off his wealth, and there are also things like crystals in Datang, most of them are handicrafts, and it is rare to see the whole piece of crystal, let alone use crystal material as window paper. There must be something strange in this, or that Zhen Qian discovered a large-scale crystal mine, if he can seize this opportunity, all the businessmen's hearts will be hot all of a sudden.

It is said that Wang Yuanbao, the richest man in the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty, made a fortune in the glass business, and the crystal is similar to the glass, no one has ever used crystal material as window paper before, and after seeing Zhen Qian's crystal room, everyone's eyes lit up, the crystal can still be used like this, why didn't you think of it before?

But even if I thought about it before, what can I do, it seems that I haven't seen such a large piece of flat and transparent crystal before, of course, these businessmen want to know how the crystal in Zhen Qian's hand came from, but they just think about it in their hearts, knowing that it is impossible for Zhen Qian to tell this secret.

"Zhen Lang! No! …… Greeting envoys, lords! ”

Zhen Qian waved his hand and said: "You don't have to be restrained, there is a way to talk about business, officials are not allowed to do business, and now the person sitting in front of you is not a greeting envoy, call me Zhen Lang!" ”

Everyone nodded, if they really did business with the greeting envoy, these businessmen were still a little worried in their hearts, since Zhen Gan's words came out, everyone naturally knew what angle they put themselves on, and they couldn't help but be happy in their hearts, this is Zhen Qian's kindness, and it is Zhen Qian's attitude towards doing business.

"May I ask Zhen Lang, I don't know what the price of the crystal on the window of this crystal room is, how much is the output, can you tell us one or two, so that we can know and understand?"

"It's time for the big dish!"

Zhen Qian's face showed the cunning and philistine of a businessman, and he smiled like a little fox, as if he saw Jinshan Yinshan Town beckoning to him, happy!
