The two sides sat down, and the man brought tea. The shopkeeper Wu said: "Dare to ask Gongzi's surname? I don't know why Childe came this time? ”

Liu Pei replied that his surname was Liu, and said the reason for telling the guy again.

Shopkeeper Wu nodded and said, "This problem is not big. I just don't know what kind of thing Childe wants? ”

Liu Pei said: "If it's a letter, I can just take a painting and calligraphy." But I also want to buy something I love. Books, calligraphy and paintings, jade antiques and the like are all available. ”

Shopkeeper Wu was overjoyed when he heard it and knew that the big deal had arrived! As soon as he wanted to speak, he was stopped by Liu Pei raising his hand. Liu Pei said: "But before that, I discussed one thing with the shopkeeper. ”

Shopkeeper Wu said: "Childe has something, but please command." ”

Liu Pei said: "I originally brought a lot of plate money when I went out this time, but it took more than two months longer than expected. So the plate fee has been almost spent. If you buy antiques, calligraphy and paintings, you will be powerless. But I have a few novelties here, and I've exchanged them with the shopkeeper to offset the money. Shopkeeper's. Do you think so? ”

Shopkeeper Wu thought for a moment and said, "It's okay. I wonder what kind of new gadget Childe is talking about? How much is it worth? ”

Liu Pei motioned to the guy next to him to bring the package and put it on the table, took out two things from the package, opened the package and handed it to Shopkeeper Wu. These two things are the same as the alarm clock; The same is a hand-held vanity mirror.

Shopkeeper Wu's eyes were already wide when he took the vanity mirror, but fortunately, his bearing was still there. He tried not to be too surprised. Shopkeeper Wu looked at the two things back and forth and said, "This thing should be a glass mirror, right?" The other one is clumsy and unrecognizable! ”

It's not surprising that Shopkeeper Wu can recognize the vanity mirror! You know, glass really appeared in Asia at the earliest. It's just that in the beginning, it was all a by-product of the kiln. And the color of the glass obtained is not pure, and there are many bubbles, so it does not develop. According to Chinese history, there were records of glazed vessels as early as the Tang Dynasty. Unfortunately, we were never able to burn the transparent glass.

Liu Pei said proudly: "The shopkeeper's good eyesight! This is indeed a glass mirror processed by a secret method. Another thing in the shopkeeper's hand is called a clockwork alarm clock. After speaking, he demonstrated the use of the clockwork alarm clock to the shopkeeper Wu. I saw that there was no shopkeeper and the guy next to him was amazed.

After reading the things, Shopkeeper Wu also settled down, and said with a smile: "It seems that the son is really from everyone!" I'm afraid these things are all overseas, right? ”

Liu Pei knew that the sea trade was already very developed at this time, and he couldn't be deceived without a shopkeeper, so he simply nodded and admitted, and said, "That's right." Both of these things are made by skilled craftsmen from overseas. ”

The shopkeeper nodded and said, "Sure enough." I wonder how much Childe plans to pay for these two things? ”

Liu Pei said: "I don't know this. It's better for the shopkeeper Wu to say a price! ”

Shopkeeper Wu twisted his beard and said: "This glass has existed in our country since ancient times, but no one has made it so transparent and colorless!" It can also be processed into a mirror. Thinking about it, its cost should not be high! As for this clockwork alarm clock, although I don't know how much it costs, it doesn't look at the materials much. And it's not very useful! After all, we have daily rules! ”

Liu Pei scolded in his heart when he heard this, who said that the ancients were stupid? No, this spirit in front of him is like a monkey! The actual price of the mirror can be deduced from the body of the ancient Chinese glaze. You can also deduce the cost from the amount of materials used, and you can also use the daily rules to suppress the price of the alarm clock! It's clear that he wants to kill me.

But Liu Pei was not angry. After all, it is a businessman, and it is understandable that the shopkeeper Wu is lowering the price! So Liu Pei said slowly: "What the shopkeeper said makes sense. But there are a few things to be aware of. ”

Shopkeeper Wu knew that the play meat was coming, so he smiled and said, "I would like to hear it in detail." ”

Liu Pei said: "This glaze, my country has naturally had it since ancient times, and the cost is not particularly high, but it is not a cheap thing!" Second, it can make the glass transparent and colorless, and it can also be processed into a mirror, and the human face is delicate, which is a secret skill, but it is worth a thousand gold. Another point, no matter what it is, even if it is a straw, as long as it comes across the ocean, it will be worth a hundred times! What's more, it's something I don't have! This glass mirror is like this, and so is the clockwork alarm clock. Besides, do those dignitaries still care about money? They only care about these novelties! And last but not least, I assure the shopkeeper that I am the only one in the country who has these two goods! Because these goods are samples, they are here to explore the way. As a result, when I came to this place, the Western maritime merchant could not afford to die of illness! It's hard to say whether someone else will bring new goods in the future, but at least in the next few years, there will never be similar goods. ”

Shopkeeper Wu heard Liu Pei say this, and also knew that Liu Pei was not such a gentleman, he was a knowledgeable fool, so he said: "What is the price for that son?" Also, how many of the same goods are there in Childe? ”

Liu Pei simply opened the package and spread it out, and said, "I didn't bring much this time, I brought ten of the same clockwork alarm clock and vanity mirror." ”

After inspecting them one by one, the shopkeeper Wu said: "Childe may really guarantee that there will be no similar things on the market?" ”

Liu Pei said with a smile: "You can rest assured that the shopkeeper is here." All the samples that the maritime merchants brought love me here. He fell ill before he could talk to my dad about it. I found the cargo on board after his death! My dad doesn't know! ”

Shopkeeper Wu was relieved when he heard this, and laughed. He probably thought that Liu Pei was hiding things from the maritime merchant while he was sick, and wanted to open a single trade route for himself in private. This kind of struggle for power and profit is not uncommon in large families.

So the shopkeeper Wu said: "Childe is a wonderful person! Why don't you do that, Childe. The old man made the decision, and the glass mirror was worth 80 taels of silver. This clockwork alarm clock is very delicate, and it is not easy to make it! I'll give 150 taels for one. Is it okay for Childe to see? ”

Those mirrors and alarm clocks were all ordered online by Liu Pei. Although Liu Pei deliberately chose some types with dragon and phoenix decorations that are in line with the aesthetics of the ancients, the most expensive alarm clock does not exceed 50 yuan. The equivalent of silver does not exceed 15 grams. This change of hands is a hundredfold and a thousandfold benefit! What's more, Liu Pei has to exchange back to the antique calligraphy and painting back to modern times, and at that time, God knows how many times the profit!

Liu Pei suppressed his ecstasy and said with a smile: "The shopkeeper is doing a good business." The price is so low that it changes hands and is several times more profitable! What's more, I'm going to use this thing to exchange calligraphy and painting with you, and you've made an extra profit! ”
