Chapter 23: The Jade Demon Rebellion
Mengli and Ah Ren kept the information and studied it until midnight. The county lord did not hide it, and there was almost complete information about Master Yu's stores in the information.
If it weren't for the collusion between the county lord and his officials and businessmen, maybe there would not have been such comprehensive information.
In the past 20 years, Mr. Yu, who started with Shark Zhu, has run almost every store, the largest being the money village and the jade shop.
There are several money houses all over the city, and almost all those who have a little possessions in the city will deposit the silver money in Master Yu's money bank. Needless to say, the jade shop was in a proper monopoly state in the city before.
Looking at the information, Mengli found the largest supplier of Yu Laoye Jade Store: Jade Fei Xing. The Jade Fei Shop was originally built by a man from the Wang family selling jade, and as the trade became bigger and bigger, he set up a business in Lincheng to provide jade for major jade shops.
The candles on the candlesticks burned out, and the sky was already bright.
Ah Ren stayed at the store.
Mengli took Lingmu, bought a carriage, and set foot on the road to Lincheng.
The two cities were not far apart, and with the spirit wood dragon flying and the phoenix dancing in the carriage, Mengli quickly arrived at Lincheng in the bumpy road.
"Miss, here we are. ”
With Lingmu's shout, Mengli touched the back of his head, which had been hit countless times in the car, and jumped out of the car with a frown.
Mengli looked up, and the plaque on the shop in front of her read: Yu Fei Xing, raised his feet and walked in.
"Guest, are you going to wholesale or pick a few pieces to play with?"
"I want to talk to your shopkeeper about a deal, but I don't know if he is there?"
When the little guy heard this, he immediately said respectfully: "Yes, you sit here for a while, and I'll go and invite the shopkeeper." ”
"Okay. Hearing this, Mengli found a place to sit down, while Lingmu stood aside holding a small box.
The little guy ran to the backyard with a puff of smoke.
After a while, the curtain leading to the door of the backyard was lifted, and a man of about fifty walked in, and the man glanced at the lobby and walked towards Mengli.
"I don't know, is the girl going to talk to Wang about business?" shopkeeper Wang asked respectfully, not looking down on a young girl in front of him.
Mengli's good feeling in her heart increased suddenly, and she naturally stood up and said with a smile: "Exactly, I don't know if the shopkeeper is convenient?"
"Of course, the girl will go with me to the private room. ”
Entering the elegant room, Shopkeeper Wang poured a cup of tea for Mengli. The fragrance of tea wafted out, and the shopkeeper Wang said politely: "Girl, please, I don't know the girl's surname?"
"Shopkeeper Wang, you can call me a girl. Then I'll get straight to the point...... Now Master Yu of Shengcheng buys from you, right?"
"For the most part... Yes. ”
"I want you to supply it at half price in the near future, and I will make up the difference. Mengli took a sip of tea and gently lowered the teacup.
"Why is that?" asked the shopkeeper Wang, stunned.
In the dream, he sighed and said helplessly: "Don't hide it, I also opened a jade shop in Shengcheng not long ago. Mr. Yu's shop really put me under a lot of pressure. I can only think of a small strategy, so as not to lose too much. As for ...... after that"
"It's inconvenient to say more about the girl, I understand. Shopkeeper Wang turned his teacup and looked at Menglidao.
Although this matter is no different to Wang, Master Yu is also an old patron after all. And ......" Shopkeeper Wang paused, but did not continue.
Of course, Mengli knew what this shopkeeper was thinking, after all, the business was a human spirit. This transaction is not profitable or losing money for him, but why did he cause this trouble for an irrelevant person, and why did he accompany her to coax Master Yu. To put it bluntly, it is asking for money!
"Since I won't lose Shopkeeper Wang, the jade of Cuiyunxuan will also be supplied from you in the future, and this is half of my sincerity. Mengli beckoned to Lingmu.
Lingmu gently placed the wooden box on the table and opened it.
The bright golden yellow color flashed into his eyes in an instant, and the hand of the shopkeeper Wang couldn't help but tremble, a box of gold. It's not big, but it's gold, isn't it?
Mengli looked at Shopkeeper Wang's surprised appearance and smiled: "Shopkeeper, my sincerity is enough?"
In fact, there is not much gold, and if it is exchanged for a silver ticket, the shopkeeper may not be so surprised. It's just that the impact of this gold can't be done with a silver ticket.
"Of course it's enough, I'll send a letter to Master Yu tomorrow, Wang occasionally got a batch of jade, the price is affordable, and it can be supplied at half price." Do you think it's okay to leave the girl?" shopkeeper Wang looked at the little girl in front of him seriously.
Based on his years of experience in business, although he has never shown contempt, he still doesn't approve of the little girl's business in his heart. However, from the time he entered the store to the present, the composure and courage that this girl showed him did not dare to despise.
"Very good, then thank you to the owner. Mengli stood up.
"It's Wang, thank you girl. Shopkeeper Wang also stood up.
"Then I won't bother Shopkeeper Wang. Mengli nodded to Shopkeeper Wang.
"I'll send the girl away. Shopkeeper Wang followed Mengli out of the store, and didn't turn around and leave until he got into the car.
Mengli got into the carriage and sat down, and commanded softly: "Lingmu, let's go...... Go back and walk slowly, don't rush. As he spoke, he touched the back of his head.
As the carriage started and stopped, Mengli got off again, and it was already afternoon.
Mengli didn't stop and went to see the county master. When I came out of the county lord's mansion again, the sunset had already set.
As soon as Mengli left on the front foot, there was a monster in the county lord's mansion.
The rumors were even more boiling the next day, and the whole city was shocked.
At this time, Master Yu received the news from the shopkeeper Wang and hurriedly went to Lincheng.
He has been in business for so many years, but he has never encountered jade of good quality and such a cheap price, and he immediately spent 20 million taels of silver tickets to buy a large number of jade.
After Master Yu returned to the city, he quickly placed the jade in the storefront, ready to make a lot of money.
The monsters of the county lord's house also have new rumors.
Rumor: After dinner last night, the county lady told the maidservant to prepare for bathing. The maidservant girl withdrew from the house when she was ready, and when the county lady turned around and walked behind the screen, she saw a beautiful woman sitting next to the bathtub.
The beautiful woman saw that the county lady had discovered herself, and quickly turned into a puff of green smoke and got into the county lady's bracelet. The county lady was shocked, quickly took off the bracelet, and fell to the ground.
The bracelet cracked in response, and the sound of breaking also attracted the attention of the maidservant outside the house. So, Xiao Tao pushed open the door, and before she could ask, she saw a woman's figure flying up from the bracelet, and then flew towards her.
Xiao Tao was so frightened that she sat on the ground, only to hear the distant figure say faintly: "You actually destroyed my jade demon body, and when I find a new jade suitable for boarding, I will definitely come back to you!"
