Chapter 165: Deception

Dua Niu and his wife thought something had happened and hurriedly ran outside to see.

There is a camel caravan outside, with exotic costumes, which is very eye-catching. They must have purchased some things from the Central Plains and went back, but they didn't know what was going on, blocking the door of the nearby shop, and the noise was very loud.

Du Aniu squeezed into the crowd, and as soon as the onlookers saw him, they pushed him to the front, and said while pushing: "Boss Du, go over and take a look, maybe this business is specially here for you." ”

Dua Niu's heart moved, and he suddenly remembered what the monk had said, and hurriedly went to see it. It turned out that it was not a bad thing, but the caravan of the largest camels in Da Shi came to the Central Plains to buy a large horse of linen cloth to Da Shi, and all the goods were worth 40,000 taels of silver, and those people were also very generous, and immediately took out 8,000 taels of silver as a deposit.

However, because linen cloth is not widely used and is easy to be unsalable, no matter how thick the base is, the satin village also has some scruples and does not dare to take over this business. After asking several families to no avail, this caravan became angry and ridiculed the people of the Celestial Empire for being so timid and afraid.

Everyone instigated Dua Niu to take over this business, after all, this is a fat difference, the cost of linen is very low, this business can basically be made in half, that is, it can net 20,000 taels of silver.

Driven by the profit of 20,000 taels of silver, Dua Niu's mind turned away. If someone else doesn't take it, it's understandable, because other people are really not as lucky as him, and they can sell anything. He remembered one time when he had made some very good silk at random, and it was also sold out. Such good luck, even he himself went from not believing to believing, and then to being convinced. In the end, he was triumphant. Moreover, the shops in the vicinity, after envy and jealousy, were about to treat him as a god.

So, when he learned that the caravan of heavenly camels was coming from the north, Dua Niu was overwhelmed with joy and felt that his opportunity to make a fortune had come.

At the instigation of the people around him. Dua Niu quickly invited all the camel caravans, which numbered about twenty people, to the back hall of his shop. Good tea and good food were entertained, and immediately went to the backyard to find his mother-in-law. Two people in total. felt that this was the way God gave him a fortune, and when it was finalized, he accepted eight thousand taels of silver, and the two parties signed a contract. Each pressed the hand mold. And make an appointment of fifteen days, when the time comes, one hand to pay, the other hand to deliver.

Dua Niu carried the silver ticket of 8,000 taels of silver, and felt warm all over his body, and then thought about the 20,000 taels of silver that was about to arrive, and felt that the whole person was floating.

Although he had not been in the silk business for a long time, when he was in the gouache business in the past, he still got acquainted with several shopkeepers of cloth shops. So he turned back again. He gave the silver ticket of eight thousand taels of silver to his daughter-in-law, and then turned around and went out again. Discuss directly with those shopkeepers.

The shopkeepers were also good friends with Dua Niu, and when they heard that he was going to buy a large amount of linen, they rushed to help him come up with ideas, saying that there was a very large cloth village in the neighboring province, with complete cloth and a good supply, and if necessary, they could help him introduce him.

Dua Niu was overjoyed and thanked them one by one. In a short time, the carriage was ready, and the group headed for the neighboring province. When I arrived at the huge auspicious cloth village, I explained my intention, and the shopkeeper of the cloth village did not dare to call the shots, so he ran to invite the owner to come out. The proprietor's surname is Zhao, and as soon as he heard that he wanted to buy such a batch of linen, he immediately refused, saying that it was too risky, and persuaded Du Aniu to think twice.

Instead, he thought that Zhao Dongjia was going to block his financial path, and he almost quarreled with him. Later, other people helped to say a lot of good things, and the Zhao Dongjia came down to help ship the goods, and the full payment was 20,000 taels of silver, but there was a condition, it must be written in the contract, if the full payment could not be paid on time, the liquidated damages would be compensated with double the price of the goods. Zhao Dongjia said, after all, this linen cloth is unsalable, they have produced such a large quantity, if Dua Niu can't pay for the goods by then, and they can't return it, won't it be a loss?

Du Aniu thought that he would make a fortune this time, and he didn't think of breaking the contract at all, so he immediately agreed. He stamped his handprints and took one copy of each.

When I returned home, I took the contract to my daughter-in-law and said that this was the first step, and soon the silver would fly over. The more they talked, the happier they became, and they had no sleep all night.

Five days later, a large number of linen cloth was transported to the wharf of the capital, unloaded, and immediately notified Dua Niu.

Dua Niu was not stupid, he was also afraid that the camel caravan would scold him, and he had inquired clearly in advance and knew that this was a serious business caravan. But he was not at ease, so he specially invited a person he trusted, called Chen Zhong, and followed the leader of the camel caravan inseparably, for fear that he would run away.

The head of the camel caravan didn't mind, and visited all the interesting places in the capital, spending dozens of taels of silver on Dua Niu. In the end, the goods arrived, and Dua Niu was relieved.

After unloading the goods at the wharf, Dua Niu did not have to worry about it, so he rented a warehouse nearby to store this large amount of linen. Then ask a servant to go to the Fulai Inn where the camel caravan has landed to inform them to pick up the goods.

The little guy went for a long time before he came back, and when he came back, he looked panicked, ran all the way to Dua Niu, sat down on the ground as soon as his feet were weak, and stammered: "Master, that ...... On that day, the camel caravan ......"

Du Aniu was shocked, and vaguely felt that something was going to happen. grabbed the collar of the little guy and pulled him up: "Say, tell me, what's wrong with the camel caravan?"

The little guy finally cried: "Master, that, that camel caravan is fake......"

"What!" Dua Niu didn't believe it when he heard it like five thunderbolts, "It's impossible, how can it be fake, their clothes, accents, and behavioral habits are all from the big food." ”

The little servant said with a sad face: "When the villain arrived at the inn, he explained his intentions, and the shopkeeper said that there were no big cannibals living in this place at all, but a circus." But he left three days ago. The villain didn't believe it, and turned all the hotel records upside down, and really didn't see the name of the big cannibal. ”

Now, it was Dua's turn to sit on the ground. Those harmful camel caravans left quietly, so what should I do with the large number of goods he just shipped? How should I return the silver to Jixiangbuzhuang? That contract ...... At this time, Du Aniu regretted that his intestines were blue, and he knew that he would breach the contract, and he would not sign this contract even if he was killed. The liquidated damages are doubled, that is, 40,000 taels of silver, where is he going to find these 40,000 pieces of silver?

At this time, Du Aniu suddenly remembered Chen Zhong who he had sent to follow the Heavenly Camel Caravan, and hurriedly said: "Where is Chen Zhong, quickly find someone for me!"

The little guy cried and said with a sad face: "Master, Chen Zhong's wife, I am afraid of taking responsibility, I heard that I escaped from the capital early." ”

"Escaped?!" Dua Niu couldn't hold it anymore, only felt that his eyes were dark, his body was crooked, and he fell to the ground. (To be continued......)
