The West Market is as crowded as ever.

The ginkgo trees on both sides of the street have all turned yellow, and the fallen leaves are paved all over the road, which adds a different kind of beauty to the West Market.

Gandy, dressed in a Tang costume, stood under the ginkgo tree in the backyard of the frosting shop, feeling the beauty of autumn in Chang'an City.

It's been more than ten years since I came to Datang, and Gandy has completely fallen in love with the city.

It's not like my hometown, which is hot, dirty, and messy all year round, and doesn't have such an abundance of food.

"The shopkeeper, the fleet of the big food merchant Abdul arrived at the Weishui Wharf yesterday and brought tens of thousands of catties of frosting, and his subordinates suggested that we buy all of them, so that the price of frosting in Chang'an City is basically up to us."

As Gandy's loyal assistant, Vaharal now basically takes care of everything in the frosting shop.

Gandy himself either went to Wuheju to taste fresh food, or went to Pingkang Fong to find a place willing to host him for fun.

Although after the introduction of white sugar in the Chu Palace, Gandy's business was once impacted.

However, he decisively changed his role and made himself the most important frosting supplier in the sugar workshop of the Chu Wangfu, and continued to live a life of making money and earning soft hands.

The profit of white sugar is very high, and the Chu Wangfu did not squeeze the price of frosting too much.

This made Gandy's life better than before.

Because the sales volume has increased, the total profit has increased.

In Chang'an City alone, Gandi has several big mansions, and his net worth is said to have exceeded 100,000 yuan, and he is the most powerful group of Hu merchants in Chang'an City.

"Are you sure that this Abdul's frosting was all transported by our Tianzhu?"

Gandy has its own solid channel for transporting frosting, but it is not very efficient due to the fact that it has been basically overland.

And this Abdul, since the spice business can not continue, but he personally went back to the big food, passing by Tianzhu, found that the price of frosting in Chang'an City is dozens of times higher than Tianzhu, engaged in frosting trade, the profit is not worse than the spice.

So he changed his career and started the business of Tianzhu frosting.

However, he did not directly enter the retail link of frosting, but resold the frosting he sold to merchants in Chang'an, Luoyang and other places, taking the road of large-scale wholesale.

"Shopkeeper, I have personally confirmed this frosting, the quality is not worse than the one we transported to Datang, only our Tianzhu can produce such a high-quality frosting, he should not deceive us."

"Tens of thousands of catties of frosting, this is a business related to tens of thousands of yuan, you see if you can find him to suppress the price again, I will also go to the Tang Royal Money Village today to see if they are willing to lend us money."

Although Gandy is worth 100,000 yuan, it doesn't mean that he can immediately come up with tens of thousands of yuan.

These few billionaires in later generations, not to mention that you want their tens of billions of cash, even more than a billion may not be able to take it out.

The realization of assets, that takes time.

In many cases, people don't really need to disguise their assets, they just need to use these things to mortgage and borrow.

Obviously, Gandy, who has been in business for many years, is very familiar with this routine.

"It should be a little difficult to go a little more, but there is still hope for a little lower. The subordinates are worried that this Abdul will directly find the Chu Wangfu at that time, and if they want to skip us and sell the frosting, it will be troublesome. ”

Vaharlal is worried about long nights and dreams, plus Abdul's current offer is not too expensive.

It was even 20 percent cheaper than Gandy's own caravan transported by land.

But, this man.

No matter what price others offer, I always like to kill the price, otherwise I will feel that I am not at a loss.

Of course I know that. However, Abdul should grit his teeth with hatred in the Chu Palace, as long as we don't push him too much, he should not directly do business with the Chu Palace. ”

is also a big businessman in the West Market, and Gandy is naturally clear about Abdul's story.

At the beginning, Abdul was the most beautiful Hu merchant in Chang'an City, and the pepper and cinnamon were more expensive than gold.

It's a pity that the huge amount of spices brought back by the caravan from the East China Sea fishing industry to the South Seas was beaten by the chickens and eggs.

Today, the price of spices in Chang'an City is only two percent of what it was at its peak.

"Okay, then I'll talk about it again and see if I can lower the price by half a percent."

Vaharlal pursed his lips, pondering how he could convince Abdul to lower the price.

……

At the light tower pier, Fang Yiai and Princess Gao Yang re-boarded the ship.

After getting used to the climate of Lingnan, Princess Gaoyang rose to continue to go south, and Fang Yiai naturally raised her hands and feet to support her.

And Cheng Chumo saw that this year's sugarcane has been harvested, and the previous boats of frosting have been transported to Chang'an City.

"Beloved, I'll go to Nanyang with you next time."

Cheng Chumo rarely missed the seven fairies at home a little, so he accepted the idea of following Fang Yiai to take a look at Puluo.

However, he arranged for many ships to go to the South Seas with Fang Yiai, which were loaded with urgently needed supplies for Puluozhong.

"Brother Cheng, when you go back to Chang'an, remember to help me explain to my aunt, so that he doesn't have to worry about us."

Fang Yiai didn't tell his family that he wanted to go to Nanyang, otherwise there was a chance that he would not have gotten consent.

"You didn't dare to write a letter by yourself, but now I'm asking me to go to your house to explain, am I looking for a beating?"

Cheng Chu silently glanced at Fang Yiai.

"Didn't I prepare a lot of Lingnan special things for my aunt to take back, she knew my mind, as for writing letters or something, it was all in plain sight."

"I said you two men don't go there, mother-in-law, mother-in-law, can you still leave?"

Princess Gao Yang stood on the deck, looking at the scorching sun overhead, a little impatient.

"Let's go, let's go now."

Fang Yiai's wife was strict as always, and after hearing Gao Yang's words, he waved his hand silently towards Cheng Chu, signaling that the crew could set sail.

……

Wuyang Ice Cream Shop is one of the most famous shops selling cold drinks and sweets in the West Market, and is said to be the property of the Liu family in Guanzhong.

The shopkeeper Liu Chuanfeng is also young and promising, and in just a few years, he has become famous all over the world for the operation of Wuyang Ice Cream Shop.

"Shopkeeper, the price of this sugar has risen again today, this is the third time this year, should we also increase the price of ice cream?"

Fu Yi, the guy in charge of procurement, came to Liu Chuanfeng a little apprehensively.

I only joined Wuyang Ice Cream Shop last year, and I am not a descendant of Liu's shopkeeper, but because of my rough arithmetic, loyalty, honesty and simplicity, Liu Chuanfeng handed it over to Fu Yi this year for such a key position in purchasing materials.

"The price of sugar has risen again? This Chu Wangfu is also too ...... Have the prices of the shops selling sugar in Chang'an City increased? ”

White sugar is produced by the sugar workshop of Chu Wangfu, but the retail business is liberalized, and even many times Chu Wangfu is acting as a wholesaler.

"The price has risen, I heard that this time it is not the sugar workshop of the Chu Wangfu that has increased the price, but because the white sugar in each shop is in short supply, so the price has increased. For example, we have long-term cooperation with several shops, and basically we can ensure that we can buy enough sugar every time, but some shops are different, and sometimes we may not be able to buy goods if we have money. ”

Fu Yi is in charge of procurement, and he is very clear about the market of white sugar.

In the past year, the demand for white sugar in Chang'an City has at least quadrupled, but the sugar produced by the sugar workshop of the Chu Wangfu has not increased much.

Although many people are greedy for cheap and buy black frosting from other shops, the tight supply of white sugar has not changed at all.

After all, the white sugar in the Chu Wangfu is also refined from raw materials purchased from various icing merchants, and the supply of this raw material is insufficient, how can the production of white sugar increase significantly?

"Didn't you hear yesterday that Abdul from Xishi came to Chang'an from carrying the genetic frosting? Why is the price of white sugar still rising now? ”

Liu Chuanfeng looked at Fu Yi a little puzzled.

The various delicacies produced by Wuyang Ice Cream Shop use a large amount of white sugar and frosting, and the rise in the price of white sugar still has a relatively large impression on them.

"Yes, this news is not a secret now, but I heard that yesterday these frostings had been transported to the warehouse of a Tianzhu merchant in the West Market, and the merchant had hired some guards to guard the store. However, what is strange is that the price of frosting today has not only not fallen because of Abdul's ship of frosting, but has increased in price, which is really strange. ”

Fu Yi looked depressed.

When he went out today, he thought that the price of white sugar would fall, even if the price of white sugar did not fall, at least the price of frosting would also fall.

I can't understand this logic.

"The shops that run frosting in the West Market are nothing more than those Tianzhu merchants behind them, it seems that this time they are ready to make a lot of money on frosting."

Liu Chuanfeng listened to Fu Yi's words, but quickly figured out the truth inside.

In business, if he can control the price of a certain material, he will definitely let him increase the price.

"That'...... So what do we do? ”

"Buy it, you will take some more silver coins and set off, and buy ten catties of white sugar and fifty catties of frosting at one time, in my opinion, the price will continue to rise."

"Huh? Do you have to go up? ”

Fu Yi looked at Liu Chuanfeng with an incomprehensible expression.

……

Tianxiang Pavilion, Abdul and Gandi found a private seat and enjoyed the wonderful dance performance of the Dream Rain Girl on the stage.

"I heard that the price of frosting in various parts of Chang'an City has risen by half a percent today, Brother Gandy, I have lost a lot of money in this business."

Abdul showed a distressed expression, as if he had lost tens of thousands of yuan.

"Abdul, what you earn here is a lot of money, how much is a pound of frosting in Tianzhu, how much is a pound of frosting that you ship to Chang'an City and sells, the profit of the frosting business in my shop is less than double, how can it be like you can ten times or eight times at every turn."

Gandy, of course, would not admit that she had taken advantage.

This has nothing to do with the facts, as long as businessmen think so.

"How can it be the same? This sea boat, not to mention making money accidentally, even lost his life. Where is Gandy, where are you comfortable in Chang'an City? Go to Wuheju every day to eat and drink well, and then come to Pingkangfang to find a good place to spend a good night, this day is called a day. ”

Abdul said half-truthfully.

If you want to say that Chang'an City is good, it is natural.

But the profits of going to sea are high, and it is also true.

Especially now that the route from Datang to the South China Sea is becoming more and more mature, the risk is actually not as great as before.

If you don't make more money when the number of maritime merchants has not increased sharply in recent years, it will not be so easy to earn in the future.

"Hey, I'm so good. Look at the girl who dreamed of rain, and the girl Sisi, they didn't even look at us at all. In this Chang'an City, the real good life is still those Tang people, we are just asking for a life here. ”

Gandy spoke, her eyes staring at Mengyu's wonderful figure.

Don't look at Gandy often spends the night in Pingkangfang, but no one who is willing to receive him is a top name of Mengyu's level.

The Qinglou women in the Tang Dynasty are also backbone, not Tang people, no matter how rich you are, these top girls will not serve you.

"Hey, this dream rain doesn't serve you, you still have a lot of choices."

"It's different, it's different. The feeling of being able to eat what is in your mouth and what you can't eat is completely different, and this has nothing to do with beauty or ugliness, it is purely a feeling. To tell you the truth, if this dream rain is willing to let me stay for one night, even if it costs a thousand silver coins, I am willing. ”

Gandy smacked her lips, as if she was savoring something.

"What is a thousand silver coins? If you raise the price of the frosting a little bit tomorrow, won't you earn it all back? ”

"It's so easy, I'm also raising the retail price first, and try the reaction of the Chu Wangfu first, so that they can have a process of acceptance."

Gandy raised his glass and touched Abdul.

His frosting shop, the general sales of which rely on the Chu Wangfu sugar workshop, can be said to be Chu Wangfu is his biggest customer.

However, on the other hand, he is also the largest supplier of the sugar workshop of the Chu Wangfu, and he almost monopolizes the supply of frosting.

However, Gandy is just a Tianzhu merchant after all, even if he is in a monopoly position, he only dares to raise the price cautiously, for fear that the Chu Wangfu will flip the table if he disagrees.

"Afraid of what? Now you are the largest frosting merchant in Chang'an City, the price of white sugar is several times that of frosting, as long as the Chu Wangfu still wants to earn this money, the price of your frosting will rise a little, and they will have to accept it if they don't accept it. ”

Abdul has a great grudge against the Chu Wangfu in his heart, although he himself does not dare to get along with the Chu Wangfu, but he is happy to see Gandi stumbling on the sugar workshop of the Chu Wangfu.

Even if he knew that such an action would not bring much damage to the Chu Palace.

Gandy: "I hope so, tomorrow I will personally go to talk to the shopkeeper of the sugar shop in the Chu Wangfu, the price of frosting on the market is already three percent higher than their purchase price, and it is time to increase the price." ”
