Chapter 204 Strong Buying and Selling (I)

Fan Hongdao made a promise, and the courtiers and shopkeepers dispersed, waiting for Fan Hongdao to turn the tide again. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ๏ฝ‚iqugeใ€‚ info [ใ„จ] Only Yang Chaofeng and Wang Shopkeeper stayed, and others didn't care, after all, Fan Hongdao and these two have a deeper relationship, Wang Chuancai Wang Shopkeeper took Fan Hongdao in the inn at the beginning, and Yang Chaofeng used to be Fan Hongdao's former owner.

Wang Chuancai handed Fan Hongdao a small bag of loose silver and said, "This is the dividend of the silk shop, you have collected it." โ€

Fan Hongdao remembered that he still had a share in the Yang family's silk shop, and said with great joy: "Thank you! I have been short of money recently, and you have saved the emergency." โ€

The shopkeeper Wang smiled bitterly a few times with self-knowledge: "It's funny, now that your Mr. Fan is famous, where is there a shortage of these taels of silver?" and then said: "We stayed, not for these taels of silver, but because the owner has something to ask you." โ€

Only then did Yang Chaofeng stand up and say to Fan Hongdao: "Of the three store properties sold this time, one is located next door to the silk shop, and I want to buy it." As long as Mr. Fan can stop Cheng Kar-Keung from buying, I can make a move.

The shopkeeper Tian will sell shop property in the teahouse at the intersection of Muchang Road tomorrow, and Mr. Fan must not be absent, otherwise if the Zheng family is present, the consequences will be very difficult to say. โ€

The shopkeeper Wang said: "As long as Mr. Fan can stop the Zheng family, the silk shop can give you thirty percent!"

Fan Hongdao nodded and said: "A gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way." I know. โ€

In this way, Yang Chaofeng and the shopkeeper Wang said goodbye together, and when they came out of the door of the inn, Yang Chaofeng asked suspiciously: "He said that a gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way, does that mean to accept it or not?"

The shopkeeper sighed and replied, "Don't the proprietors know the habits of their scholars? He will not take the initiative to say that he will accept it, but we must cry and shout and take the initiative to offer it with both hands, and then they will make a disrespectful appearance and accept it helplessly." โ€

Yang Chaofeng shook his head and thought of a very philosophical question: "Is this them cheap or are we cheap?"

After sending others away, Fan Hongdao ran to the courtyard and shouted to the other side: "Is the little lady here?"

Little Lady Li instantly showed her face from the window and responded, "Is there something wrong with Mr. Fan?"

Fan Hongdao replied: "Tomorrow I will take you to the teahouse to see the excitement, so that you can see more human feelings!"

"Okay!" Little Lady Li agreed.

Father Li stood behind his daughter and sighed: "He wants to use you as a bodyguard." โ€

Li Xiaoniang was very conscious and said, "Is there any problem with that? Isn't it good to be able to help Mr. Fan? Otherwise, how useful can this ability be?"

The next day, the teahouse at the intersection of Chongwenmenwai Street and Muchang Street was bustling, and the shopkeeper Tian wanted to replace his owner and two other courtiers to openly sell the store's property here, and people in the neighborhood came to see it.

Although there were a lot of people, the atmosphere was very bad. Everyone knows that the Zheng family has spoken before, intimidated sellers and intimidated buyers, and today I don't know how to end.

The owner Tian was even more uneasy, in front of the Zheng family, the emperor's relatives, he didn't have much power to resist, but if he didn't resist and sold the store property cheaply, he would definitely not be reconciled.

When there was a lot of discussion in the teahouse, suddenly the figure at the door shook, and more than a dozen people broke into Hulala, and the person headed by it was Zheng Zhaoyi and Zheng Steward. In this past, Steward Zheng often wandered around the neighborhood outside Chongwen Gate, and Sima Zhao's heart was well known to passers-by, and many people already knew him.

The Zheng family arrogantly cleared out the two tables, and the Zheng steward sat down, smiled at the shopkeeper Tian, and said, "One is twenty taels, and three are sixty taels, all of which are sold to me." โ€

Outside the Chongwen Gate is a new bustling commercial district, located at the intersection of the end of the southeast canal trade road and the inner city market of Jingshi, where a large number of goods from the southeast are gathered, and then wholesaled to the merchants in the inner city.

Therefore, how could the property in the street outside Chongwenmen be worth only 20 taels of silver? This is obviously a forced purchase at a low price.

Besides, all walks of life have their own rules, and the shopkeeper Tian sits in a teahouse and sells shop property publicly, which is actually similar to "bidding", while other interested merchants are "bidding" here.

In this year, a number of bidding disputes were adjudicated in a "code" way. That is, the seller first publicly shows the reserve price, and then the buyer writes a note for each person, and finally displays it in public, and the highest price wins.

And Steward Zheng didn't wait for the shopkeeper Tian to show the reserve price, and directly forced the shopkeeper Tian to buy at a low price, which was obviously a bad behavior, or he didn't take the rules seriously.

Shopkeeper Tian looked at Steward Zheng angrily, but he dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, and only after a while did he grit his teeth and say: "Uncle Zheng may not understand the procedure, so he has to wait for the reserve price to be revealed first." โ€

Steward Zheng put away his smile and stretched out a finger: "The current price is ten taels of silver for one store, and the total price for three is thirty taels!"

Shopkeeper Tian was about to explode, "The price is high, it doesn't matter if Uncle Zheng pays this price, if someone else pays a high price, it will be unbearable." โ€

Steward Zheng looked around, and the thugs around him also stood up in unison, facing everyone. Seeing that no one spoke, Steward Zheng said proudly: "My Zheng family buys shop property here, who wants to raise the price?"

Just when the merchants were silent, a few long laughs suddenly came from outside the door, and someone laughed and said, "Hehehehe, I'm late." โ€

Immediately, a young scholar flashed in from the door, with a green shirt and a Tang scarf on his head, standing there like a jade tree in the wind. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, this Fan Hongdao can be counted. Somehow, they have inexplicable confidence in Fan Hongdao.

Steward Zheng watched Fan Hongdao come in coldly, which was expected, and he was not surprised. If Fan Hongdao's troublemaker didn't appear, he would feel strange.

But what is the use of Fan Hongdao appearing here? This is a business matter, after all, it depends on business to speak, can other businessmen dare to face Zheng Jiagang for the sake of Fan Hongdao a few words?

Behind Fan Hongdao, there was also a woman with a bewitching appearance. Steward Zheng secretly sneered a few times, this Fan Hongdao himself is also weak-hearted, and he has that woman who knows martial arts with him, but what use can he have? Can he still force other merchants to play with the Zheng family?

Fan Hongdao looked left and right, as if he was talking to himself: "I haven't written the price yet, it seems that it is not too late." Then he asked the shopkeeper Tian, "What is the reserve price?"

Shopkeeper Tian got this opportunity to make an offer, and was about to open his mouth, but Steward Zheng shouted at Shopkeeper Tian: "You shut up first!"

Then Steward Zheng said to Fan Hongdao without smiling: "What are you doing as a scholar to make a fuss about such a lowly business? Could it be that you can't get along in Shilin, and you will have to put down your body and change to business in the future? If it spreads, it will be big news, and the dignified Fan Hongdao is actually willing to fall like this." โ€
