Chapter 717: A Different Deal

Zhou Benqiang is a businessman in Yizhou.

He is only 33 years old this year, and he has already made great achievements in Yizhou, and he is a well-known local Shu brocade businessman.

However, he is not willing to do business in Yizhou for the rest of his life.

Looking at the Tang Dynasty, if you want to say which place is the most attractive to businessmen, it must be Chang'an City.

The huge population and superb spending power all mean that Chang'an City is a paradise for businessmen.

At least, that's what Zhou Benqiang thinks.

However, reality gave him a slap in the face!

After the beginning of spring, Zhou Benqiang came to Chang'an City with 2,000 Shu brocades purchased at a high price, thinking that by relying on this business, his net worth would rise smoothly.

As a result, until now, his 2,000 horses of Shu brocade are still lying in the warehouse.

Not only do you have to pay for the storage of the warehouse every day, but you also have to worry about the damage to the brocade due to improper preservation.

As a silk product, Shu brocade is not just thrown in a corner to keep the quality intact.

"The owner, thanks to the shop in this trading center, there is no rent for the first three months, and the warehouse can also be used for us to store the goods for one month for free, otherwise if we can't sell the goods, we won't even be able to pay for renting the warehouse."

Zhou Benqiang was followed by his distant nephew Fang Wei, and this time when he came to Chang'an, Fang Wei was Zhou Benqiang's right-hand man.

As for the dozen or so helpers originally hired, because of the shortage of funds, Zhou Benqiang has already paid them to make a living on their own.

"Hey! These new Shu brocades are obviously bright and colorful, why is no one buying them? Although our prices are not cheap, there are some more expensive ones sold in the West Market than us. ”

Zhou Benqiang stood in front of his shop, looked at the deserted flow of people outside, and then looked at the samples in his shop, and couldn't help sighing.

These two thousand Shu brocades have been invested in all the money that Zhou Benqiang has earned in the past few years.

Shu brocade, which has always been bought for 300 yuan, originally thought that it could be sold for at least two yuan a horse in Chang'an City, but it turned out that the original price was always 300 yuan and a horse could not be sold!

Now, Zhou Benqiang has no hope for these Shu brocades, as long as he can lose a little less.

"I see that there are more people wearing cotton jackets in Chang'an City, and there are more people using cotton cloth, and in the past few years, woolen thread and woolen cloth are also very popular; Is it because of this that fewer people buy silk? ”

Zhou Benqiang's worries, Fang Wei empathized.

They're grasshoppers on a rope.

"It shouldn't be! It is undeniable that cotton and wool cloth have their advantages, but the advantages of silk cannot be ignored. In particular, our Shu brocade, with the warp color color, and then the color strip to add flowers, and then the warp and weft flowers, and then the first color strip and then the brocade group, the woven things are colorful, very beautiful, which is not at all cotton cloth and wool cloth can be compared. ”

Zhou Benqiang couldn't help but complain in his heart that these people in Chang'an City were really illiterate.

They can't look down on such good things as themselves.

"A while ago, there was a merchant who was willing to buy it, but that price was really annoying!"

"Two hundred wen a horse? Hum! Is he a sackcloth when Shu brocade? ”

Zhou Benqiang thought of the merchant Fang Wei said, and he was angry.

He really would rather this batch of goods rot in his hands than sell to such a merchant.

"Owner! It seems that a guest is coming to our shop! ”

Just when Fang Wei and Zhou Benqiang were talking boringly there, some people began to move around in the trading center one after another.

"How do you sell this Shu brocade?"

"It's always 600 yuan a horse, if you buy a lot, it's not impossible to always buy 500 yuan a horse!"

For the first businessman to enter his shop today, Zhou Benqiang still paid a hundred points of attention.

"I'll look at this product!" After the merchant finished speaking, he unceremoniously stretched out his hand and pulled a piece of Shu brocade on the counter, "This color is too strange, now the rich and noble, who would want to use this kind of bells and whistles." ”

As soon as he finished saying this, he left directly without waiting for Zhou Benqiang to speak.

Next, several businessmen entered Zhou Benqiang's shop one after another, but most of them disliked his Shu brocade, and the color of his Shu brocade was too strange, and no one wanted bells and whistles.

This made Zhou Benqiang's confidence even more hugely damaged.

Could it be that there is really a problem with your own vision?

Why did I think Shu Jin, which should be quite popular, but no one wanted it when I arrived in Chang'an City?

"Shopkeeper, how many goods do you have in this Shu brocade?"

Zhou Benqiang and Fang Wei, who were hit one after another, sat listlessly behind the counter, and the businessmen who came in casually looked at the samples by themselves.

As long as people don't ask questions, they don't bother to take the initiative to explain.

However, unexpectedly, a strange question suddenly popped up.

I've never seen a person who doesn't ask the price first, but asks about the inventory first.

Is this guy sincere in buying something?

Zhou Benqiang looked at the dress of the gentleman in front of him, and saw that this dark-faced man was not dressed luxuriously or shabby.

But judging from the appearance, it doesn't look like a rich family.

Can such a person afford his own Shu brocade?

As soon as I opened my mouth, I asked myself how many goods I had.

There are dozens of horses in this shop alone, isn't it enough for him to buy?

"Whoa! These are all for you to see! ”

Although he complained in his heart, Zhou Benqiang still got up and greeted him politely.

"That's all?"

The swarthy man looked at Zhou Benqiang with a frown.

"This Lang Jun, there are forty-five Shu brocades in the shop, even if it is a large family, it is enough to use it for several years. Why, don't you think it's enough? ”

Fang Wei on the side couldn't stand it anymore.

"That's right! How much do you want, I'll take it out for you! ”

Zhou Benqiang looked at the guest in front of him again, and felt that he didn't look like he was going to entertain himself.

"Not enough! Dozens of Shu brocades, what is enough! In addition to these, do you still have goods and when can they be delivered? ”

"Guest officer, dare to ask how many goods do you want? What we sell in our shop is the best Shu brocade, is the price cheap? ”

At this time, Zhou Benqiang also felt a little different, and his attitude was a little more respectful.

Seem...... Possible......

Is it really a big customer in front of you?

"I know you're good at Shu brocade, so I asked you how many goods you have! If you still have the goods, don't waste everyone's time! ”

The swarthy man is obviously short-tempered, and he can't stand Zhou Benqiang's grinding.

"Yes! Of course! The goods are in the warehouse next to the trading center, and there are 2,000 horses! ”

After Zhou Benqiang said this, he looked at the man in front of him a little nervously.

"Only two thousand?"

"Two thousand horses is not enough?"

"Forget it! Two thousand horses is two thousand! ”
