Chapter 127: Buying and Selling
Jiangning, Linjiang Building, private room on the second floor.
Han Jiang said in the screen that he asked Cao Hao and Wei Xin to take care of them, and Cheng Wenkui outside also smiled and raised his glass to the two. Cao Hao and the two accompanied them for a drink, and they knew that Han Jiang's family was still eager to find a backer, as long as she still had a request for the Cao family, this next step of borrowing would be easy to handle.
Cao Hao put down his wine glass: "Mrs. Han is polite!" Cooperation and cooperation are about a win-win situation for both parties. At this pearl meeting, [***] Qian Zhuang helped him, and Cao also knew about it. If there is an opportunity in the future, it is natural to choose to cooperate with [***] money bank. ”
Han Jiang smiled: "Thank you Gongzi Cao for that!" Cao Gongzi is far-sighted, and the little woman really admires it tightly, and she has to rely on Cao Gongzi to dial us more in the future. If Cao Gongzi and Wei Wuye have anything to use us, please speak, and we will do our best. ”
Cao Hao said, "Madame praised it falsely", and Wei Xin said with a smile: "It is precisely this principle, everyone is on the boundary of Jiangning, and there must be a place where they can use each other. ”
Cheng Wenkui also smiled: "The old man relied on the old man to sell the old man and said a few words, Wei Wuye said it exactly!" The Jiang family has a thin foundation, but there are also a few small shops to make a living. If you don't dislike it, then the pearl tea or something will be put in our shop, and we won't let the two of you worry a little bit, and we will give you a good price. ”
The pearls of the Cao family, in addition to being enshrined in the palace, the rest were put in the thirteen lines of Guangdong, in addition to selling them at a good price, it is estimated that in order to keep this method of raising pearls, so as not to leak the news. Now that the pearl will be opened, it is known everywhere, and the pearls of the Cao family do not have to be sold in disguise. Jiangnan is rich, and the purchasing power of the people is also amazing, and the Jiang family has not been able to mix it into pearl farming, so they want to do a pearl monopoly business and seize the market. Because the Cao family did not have a shop in Jiangning, they wanted to be the general agent.
Cao Hao knew in his heart that the tea garden would attract many people to covet it, where would the pearl dare to be public? The Cao family's pearl will be lively in the eyes of the Jiang family, but in fact, it is also closed to the outside of the industry, and try to keep a low profile, which is not only the Cao family's self-protection, but also the protection of those pearl merchants who buy children.
At that moment, Cao Hao said very politely: "Thank you to the shopkeeper Cheng for planning for Cao." This little business is nothing, and it doesn't bother. ”
Then Cheng Wenkui was about to speak again, Wei Xin blinked, and interjected: "Actually, our cooperation this time is really good, [***] Qian Zhuang does have a foundation for credibility." Since Shopkeeper Cheng wants us to cooperate again, I have a business here, so I might as well give it to you! ”
Cheng Wenkui made a gesture to speak, and Wei Xin said: "I am going to make a big deal and need some cash turnover." I don't know [***] money bank loan with me, how much does the silver receive? ”
Cheng Wenkui didn't answer, but Han Jiang in the screen said, "This is Fifth Master Wei who can afford us!" Only the fifth master also knows that we have just paid hundreds of thousands of taels of silver for that batch of pearl merchants, and we don't have so much cash in our hands, I don't know how much the fifth master needs? ”
Wei Xin smiled: "[***] Qianzhuang's financial resources, I still know!" Actually, I didn't borrow much, but it was 500,000 taels. ”
Cheng Wenkui couldn't help but be moved. The hidden bid land price announced by the Cao family is still 110,000 taels, and ten buyers, that is, one million silver. I just got so much silver, and I want to borrow 500,000 yuan, which is a huge business.
Inside the screen, Han Jiang was also thinking the same. She pondered for a moment, and suddenly said, "Since the fifth master said this, he must not have much money. The little woman still has some idle silver in her hand, and she doesn't say that she borrowed it from her son, but only contributed to the capital, and when she turned around, the fifth master came back to share a few points of the little woman, and the fifth master was exempted from the trouble of borrowing, and the little woman could also get a few taels of rouge gouache to spend, okay? ”
Cao Hao and Wei Xin both nodded secretly, this female owner is really powerful, and she is about to step in.
Wei Xin took a sip of wine and said slowly: "Mrs. Han didn't ask Wei what business she did, she was willing to help with the capital, and Wei was afraid." If this is a loss of the lady's capital, it is not good. ”
Han Jiang said with a smile: "In this Jiangning City, who doesn't know that the fifth master is capable? What is the little woman worried about, it's just that Fifth Master Wei refuses to bring the little woman! ”
Wei Xin asked, "I don't know how much Mrs. Han can give and how much money she will share?" ”
Han Jiang said: "Since Fifth Master Wei wants 500,000 taels, the little woman will pay 500,000 taels." Whether it is profitable, it also depends on how long it takes for Wei Wuye to return to the capital, and at the end of the year, the little woman will account for fifty percent of the profit. If it is returned in three years, the little woman will take 60% of the profit. More than five years, that's another matter. ”
Cao Hao almost choked on a sip of wine, this is really a lion's mouth, asking for a price, she can't figure it out!
Wei Xin couldn't help laughing: "Mrs. Han can't make fun of us?" Don't say that you pay 500,000 taels, that is, 5 million taels, less than 30% of our capital, but want to share 50% or 60% of the profits! That's it, you should keep this little private money to buy pollen, Wei doesn't dare to use it! ”
Cheng Wenkui was slightly annoyed when he saw Wei Xin laughing like this, but he thought that it was not only the Wei family's business, but also the Cao family's involvement. The Cao family has three tea gardens, and there is this pearl, a few years ago, the silver flowed out, and the treasure rewarded by the saint also flowed into the door, and the whole Jiangning people knew that the Cao family was wealthy. At this time, Wei Xin said that the capital was fifteen million taels, which was somewhat exaggerated, but if he thought that there should be a few million taels, he was afraid that he would not be able to account for the majority.
His old man was just about to refute Wei Xin's two sentences and suppress his momentum, but he heard Han Jiang's laughter and groaning in the screen: "Fifth Master Wei has such a large capital, and it is not bad to turn over 500,000 taels of silver, it is really a reckless rude little woman." When the fifth master of Wei is a cup of reparation. As she spoke, the glass rang, and she drank another glass.
Cheng Wenkui sighed in his heart, this girl is still young and frizzy, although the bet is that the Cao Wei family needs the Jiang family's silver, so she will speak aggressively, but if you annoy the other party by saying it like this, the consequences will be unbearable, and all these painstaking efforts and Cao family's tricks will be in vain.
Wei Xin was not annoyed, and still smiled: "Yes, I only lack some living money for turnover!" In fact, there are a lot of local banks, but you can't borrow 500,000 taels at once, and you can still get 200,000 or 300,000 taels, so I'll just find a few more. The Chen family's Longxing money village only charged me two cents and six percent interest, that is, borrowing silver for one year, and the profit was not much. ”
Cao Hao also said politely: "Since it is inconvenient for Qian Zhuang to borrow, it doesn't matter, Mrs. Han don't be embarrassed, and don't mind." ”
Cheng Wenkui knew that they were half-truthful, but if the Han Jiang clan said that he was dead at this time, there would really be no room for maneuver, and he hurriedly said: "Why is it so troublesome for Fifth Master Wei to run to many places!" We're going to have to make it up for you! The business is not in favor of people, that is, this time Wei Wuye thinks that we are small, we don't need us, next time we will take back some silver, and it will not be too late to serve Wei Wuye! ”
Cao Hao and Wei Xin were struggling with haha, only eating and drinking without answering.
Han Jiang said with a smile: "Fifth Master Wei is deceiving my woman and discordant with foreign affairs." What you are doing must be a big deal that will reduce the cost, so you need to turn over the money. Longxing Qianzhuang did get 300,000 taels, but I don't know if they are willing to press this silver outside for a year and a half. - Then they don't have to do other businesses of their own. ”
Cheng Wenkui was so anxious that he secretly stomped his feet when he heard this, who knew that Han Jiang's words changed, and he said: "We have received a lot of favors from Fifth Master Wei, and we dare not earn your silver, but Fifth Master Wei, you also know that merchants have always been a bit taboo and cannot do business that loses money." The little woman sincerely wanted to make a fortune with them. Otherwise, 500,000 taels will be 500,000 taels, Wei Wuye will say a way to divide profits, whether it is suitable or not, let's discuss. ”
Wei Xin was waiting for her words, and pretended to be very indifferent: "Longxing Qianzhuang lent me money, and only charged two cents and six percent interest, Mrs. Han, how many points do you say I will give you?" ”
Han Jiang's family didn't believe that Wei Xin could get so much 300,000 yuan from Longxing Money Village, and with her understanding of several big money houses in Jiangning, no one dared to take more than 200,000 taels to press outside for a year, and the profit would not be so low. At the moment, she thought about it for a while, and said that she would take 40% of the profit.
Wei Xin started a tug-of-war with her, Cao Hao and Cheng Wenkui played a round on the side, occasionally interjecting a few words, and each helping each other. In the end, it was decided to make a profit of two and a half percent.
* Han Jiang's left with Cheng Wenkui, and when he saw Cao Fang with a burnt color, he came in with his hands rubbed his hands, and said to Cao Hao: "Uncle, it's a little tricky!" ”
Cao Hao and Wei Xin glanced at each other, full of doubts, and heard Cao Fang say: "Uncle, there is a person here, it is the little servant of the Wang family in Shandong, and their owner was kidnapped outside Yangzhou City!" ”
Shandong said that the Wang family is the largest pearl merchant in the north, and they came to the head of the family this time, Wang Lusheng, who was the middle-aged man who came to the stage to inspect the pearl that night. His house is also the highest price of this hidden bid, 200,000 taels of silver. Because of his wealth, Wang Lusheng is extremely pompous, and his entourage is no less than dozens of guards. How could such a person be tied up casually?
"Uncle, if you don't give him some money, send him away, and let him go to Yangzhou Yamen to report!" Wei Xin opened his mouth and said, "They have already left Jiangning, and they really have nothing to do with us!" If we intervene in it, it will be a waste of money, and it will be a waste of time."
Cao Hao frowned slightly, before the Pearl Club, he had been worried about whether there would be any accidents due to the secret recipe. Now it seems that he is afraid of something. Because all the families voted for the secret mark, no one knows which of the ten families, but Wang Lusheng is too conspicuous, and everyone knows his strength. But I don't know whose family is so bold to resort to such a means.
Since the other party didn't do anything in the Jiangning realm, it seemed that he had some scruples, but after all, it was caused by pearls, and it was related to human life, how could Cao Hao be indifferent. Thinking of this, he shook his head and said to Wei Xin: "We have to think about this matter, but don't worry, you can't miss your trip south." ”
"Childe, this is the work of other pearl merchants, if we intervene like this, force those people and dogs to jump over the wall, and make our recipe public, how can we live?" Wei Xin still has some scruples.
Cao Hao also had a headache, and after thinking about it for a while, he said to Cao Fang: "Where is that little guy placed, bring him over!" ”
Cao Fang answered, and after a while, he brought the little guy up.
The little guy was no more than thirteen or fourteen years old, completely dressed as a beggar, covered in mud, and his hair was a little scattered. Because he was by his master's side, Wang Lusheng, he knew Wei Xin, and knew that the other party was the host of the Pearl Club here, so he immediately knelt beside Wei Xin, and cried with a handful of snot and tears: "Fifth Master Wei, you want to save my master!" If it is any later, my master is afraid that his surname will not be able to protect his life. ”
Wei Xin glanced at Cao Hao, and seeing him nodding, Fang opened his mouth and asked, "What's going on?" Where did you meet the robbers, the other entourage, why only ran out of you, you talk carefully, you must not miss anything! ”
It turned out that Wang Lusheng was Jiangning, who had left early in the morning, and because he was in a hurry to return to Shandong, he didn't rest much all the way, and arrived in Yangzhou, two hundred miles away, that night. After resting in Yangzhou for a night, I went out of the city early yesterday morning and went all the way north, not wanting to travel for more than an hour. The crowd felt that something was wrong, and some of the horses fell to the ground, and some of them began to vomit and diarrhea.
At first, everyone thought that it was a hot day and they were running in a hurry, but then when they saw more and more horses falling to the ground, they felt that something was wrong. This little guy is called Guo Si'er, because he is the youngest among the people, and his stomach is the worst, he ran to the woods and pulled it three times in a row, and he still felt uncomfortable. Thinking that I would change places and pull again, I took a few steps back, but it happened to be a slope, and I lost my footing and rolled down. Before he could climb up, there was already the sound of horses' hooves "clicking" outside, followed by the sound of fighting.
Guo Si'er was frightened, and was thinking about whether to climb up, when he heard his owner say loudly: "Knights, slow down!" I am Wang Laoqi of Yizhou Mansion in Shandong, and I love to make friends in my life. If the brothers are short of money, the ward will be able to do it with a single blow, and there is no need to hurt the peace! ”
The sound of the fight gradually subsided, and then I heard someone reply: "May I ask you, are you Wang Lusheng and Wang Qiye, who are known as 'Living Mengwei'?" ”
It was the voice of his own owner again: "It's my brother, this hero, I don't know what misunderstanding I have, everything is easy to say!" ”
The man was silent for a while, and then said: "Although Seventh Master Wang is in Shandong, my brother has also heard the Seventh Master's tuba, so I shouldn't be disturbed." But there is really no way for a brother to be entrusted and loyal to others. Brothers, these 100 or so people always have to mix bowls of rice to eat, and today they will offend the seventh master first. Brother is not willing to embarrass you, but now that you are already in Yangzhou City, it is not interesting to continue fighting. If the seventh master can trust his brother, he will go to his brother's side as a guest, but the game on his brother's side is authentic. ”
After the man finished speaking, Guo Si'er listened to his owner and smiled: "Since this brother is warmly invited, where can I Wang Laoqi be embarrassed." Let's go, this time I want to have a good drink with my brother. Brother should treat me well, I am rare to this wild game in the mountains! ”
