Chapter 643: All Law-abiding and Good Citizens (Plus Change)
"Then the gods were angry with them!" he spat on the ground, his face full of disdain, "those who cannot enter the temple of the gods after death still think how clever they are, and even point at me and say, 'Pity.'"
Yan Saburo let out a rare sigh: "Your gods are really powerful. ”
The boatman didn't hear his tone, and said proudly, "Of course. ”
"Alright, let's get down to business. The three of them had already walked out of the market, and Chitose impatiently asked, "Do you know Kirin Xuan?"
"I heard about it, but I haven't been in. The boatman replied honestly, "It is run by a few Messengers, and it is set up for seafarers like you." It is open once every five years in the Tibetan country, and it is not open for business on weekdays. ”
The flow rate of the two worlds is different, and if Qilin Xuan is only open once in five years, it is indeed aimed at seafarers. As the saying goes, if you don't open for three years, if you open for three years, this store looks a little more powerful.
Chitose also heard the implication of his words, it was that the ordinary people of the Tibetan country were not qualified to step into that store, and remembered that the maid Ah Qian had also said the same before, and couldn't help but feel slightly disappointed.
Fortunately, the boatman immediately said: "But there is a guy from Qilin Xuan who lives nearby and has played with me since I was a child." If you want to find out, I can take you to him. ”
"Okay, please lead the way. ”
......
Kirin Xuan only opens once in five years, and of course the clerk can't live by pointing to it. The person whose boatman led Yan Saburo to visit was named Zheng Yi, who usually worked under Xincha, and was transferred to Qilinxuan before the grand event.
The house in which he lived was much larger and more imposing than that of the boatman's, and it was evident that this one was more favourable in the Sincha.
Zheng Yi had just returned from Qilin Xuan, his face was tired, and he was waiting for dinner. Yan Saburo handed him a packet of lotus seed cakes before he began to inquire about Qilinxuan's situation.
It was a time-honored brand in the Tibetan country, and Yan Saburo might be able to inquire about the situation from others, so Zheng Yi said it very happily.
The Hidden Nation has been held in Sanssouci Valley on Crystal Island, and during this period, it will be the liveliest place in the entire Hidden Country. There are two ways for outsiders to Taobao here, either to go to an official store like Qilinxuan to pick up, or to go to Linlang Market to check out the stalls of other seafarers.
To put it simply, one is to trade with the official and the other is to trade with other seafarers.
There is one more detail: except for helping in the official store, civilians of the Hidden Kingdom are not allowed to enter Sanssouci Valley, so seafarers cannot trade directly with them.
Chitose wondered: "Why is that?"
Zheng Yi smiled: "The value of the items is difficult to estimate, and it is difficult for the small people to do it, so they are simply sold by the official." ”
This is also clear, the two sides have different ways of determining value, and the price is confused. In order not to suffer losses for its own people, the Tibetan country simply collected everything and did business directly with the seafarers by the government.
Therefore, the scene that the seafarers originally imagined to be able to do business with the locals in the Linlang Market and take advantage of it will not appear.
The event has been opened so many times, and the Tibetan country has long been familiar with it, on the other hand, the seafarers can only come in once in 60 years, and basically every time they come are newcomers, how can the old oilers of the Tibetan country be familiar with the use of the rules?
Therefore, mutual benefit can be achieved, but the probability of making a fortune is not large.
Yan Saburo's next question: "Where do the goods for sale in Kirin Xuan come from?"
"Half of it is bought from Tibetan people, and most of it is local specialties such as gemstones, herbs and curiosities. Zheng Yi said, "The others are purchased from Haike, that is, from your own people." ”
He paused and said, "From today onwards, a large number of seafarers will bring things to Qilin Xuan for valuation and sale. They can choose two ways, one is to sell the goods to Kirin Xuan and get the money at one time, and the other is to consign the goods and pay 55 cents to Kirin Xuan after the sale. ”
Yan Saburo asked the most critical question: "I heard that the source of the things that Qilin Xuan received can be examined?"
"You don't have to worry about that. Zheng Yi thought he was worried about his safety, "Only goods obtained from Tibetan people will be recorded, and if they are received from Haike, Qilinxuan will never inquire about the name and background." ”
Chitose's heart sank, but he still asked, "How do you collect money for consignment?"
"After registration, the consignment customer can get a number plate. When something is sold, he can withdraw money with his cards. ”
Yan Saburo frowned: "That's not right, don't you have to settle the deed when you trade?" He worked as a bookkeeper and knew the importance of the sales contract. I don't know how many grand events have been held by the officials of the Tibetan country, and the procedures must be formal, otherwise how can there be a basis for evaluation if there is a dispute?
"Naturally, it is wanted. Zheng Yi replied, "It's just that the contract is not signed, only the handprints are pressed, and the fingerprints are to be pricked with needles and blood." ”
After a pause, he added: "Not only the official, but every transaction freely concluded in Linlang Market will use such a deed and deed method. The deed is provided free of charge by us, and the transaction is witnessed by us free of charge. ”
"Mandatory?"
"It's not mandatory, but almost everyone will adopt it. Zheng Yi shrugged his shoulders, "This is a guarantee, and there is no harm, why don't you do it?"
"How many years have you been in Qilin Xuan?"
Zheng Yi thought for a moment: "The fog wall has been opened three times, so it's about fifteen years. ”
Just right. Chitose suddenly came to his senses: "We want to check one hundred and twenty years ago, not for you, that is, the one thing that Qilin Xuan sold ten years ago." ”
Zheng Yi shook his hands continuously: "No, that's not possible." Tracing the movement of goods is taboo, whether it is sold or not. ”
Yan Saburo said in a deep voice: "If you can do it, you will be grateful." ”
"People like you are really pervasive!" Zheng Yi suddenly changed his face and stood up, "Hurry up, I don't welcome you here!" and glared back at the boatman, "Why did you bring me this kind of person!"
The three of them walked out of Zheng's house, and the door behind them closed with a "bang".
Chitose sighed: "What a big temper." ”
"Zheng Yi is a good law-abiding citizen. The boatman who had been thrown out together thought for a moment, and added, "We all are." ”
Yan Saburo picked out the words: "He said, 'It's really pervasive', what does this sentence mean?"
"Don't take it seriously. The boatman remembered that these two men were honored guests invited by the gods, and he could not be easily offended.
"Has anyone ever been here to track down an item?"
The boatman sighed: "Five years ago, Zheng Yi's daughter met a seafarer, and she got along with someone. It stands to reason that the other party is handsome, and it is not bad to borrow a seed. But she liked people too much, and when the seafarers were gone and the fog wall was closed, she still remembered it, and the temple pointed out her husband, and she said that she would not marry anything, and she fled twice by boat. ”
