Volume 1 When the Wind Rises Chapter 136 Nobles Help Each Other
Dou Yuquan sat on a stool and bowed his hand to the surrounding crowd and apologized, while pondering a little, he was also familiar with this set of businessmen, but it was easy to expose his details.
Seeing that Liu Ximing was only concerned about drinking stuffy tea, he thought carefully about the last time they met for a while, and when he remembered what Liu Ximing said about the collapse of the world, combined with the situation in his own family, Dou Yuquan finally settled down.
"Brother Liu, this matter is also simple, Shuzhong has always been prolific in silk, although the cloth is available, but it is not very sophisticated, but in addition to the silk and satin yarn of the dignitaries, the family of dignitaries also consumes a lot of this kind of good cloth. Nowadays, the good cloth in Shu is transferred here by merchants from Jiangnan and other places, and the market price is at least three or four dollars of silver, and the cloth is six to eight dollars, and the Chenjia cloth village is indeed a little insatiable. ”
"At the moment, although the business of Shunqing Mansion is blocked, it is actually not a big problem, you must know that the real magnates in Shuzhong are not here."
Dou Yuquan said everything about this, Liu Ximing really became a pig's brain if he didn't understand it anymore, he slapped the table excitedly, yes, it's really lard, our cloth is a luxury, and if you want to sell it, you have to find the right person.
"Hahaha, Brother Dou Gaojian, I'll take someone to Chengdu to see if I can sell the cloth to the Shu Palace."
Dou Yuquan hurriedly grabbed Liu Ximing and persuaded him with a smile: "Brother Liu, don't be impatient, I didn't say that you should go to Chengdu to find someone, is the business of this Shu Wangfu also something that ordinary people can do, if you really want to do this, I'm afraid that you will not return." ”
"How's that to be?" Liu Ximing was a little helpless, he knew that Dou Yuquan's words were reasonable, modern society depends on all kinds of relationships, not to mention ancient times.
The corners of Dou Yuquan's mouth slanted up slightly, he was already white and pure, and his smile was even more sunny, only to hear him say to Liu Ximing: "This matter is critical, drink tea first, and let's talk in another place later." ”
Well? Are you a little dragon? And little secrets.
Liu Ximing was immediately interested when he saw him, but Dou Yuquan was silent about this matter now, pulling him to keep chatting about other things, which made Liu Ximing's heart itch.
When a pot of tea was almost drunk, Dou Yuquan pulled Liu Ximing Shi Ran and walked towards a residential area, while walking, he also looked back, and finally took Liu Ximing and others directly to run around in the alley.
Liu Ximing and the others followed behind him, and seeing that Dou Yuquan didn't mean to explain, Liu Ximing had no choice but to hold back his curiosity and chat with him with or without a match.
"The cold house has arrived, Brother Liu, please inside."
After a long time, Dou Yuquan finally led everyone out of the alley, and the group stopped at the door of a courtyard, and Dou Yuquan directly took out a key to open the door and enter.
The alley outside the house is quite narrow, the paint on the door beam at the gate has almost fallen off, and the two gates have also been touched to the oily shiny, as soon as you enter the door, there is a small courtyard at first, but the masonry on the ground is a little protruding in many places, and the whole house also looks a little dilapidated.
It seems that Dou Yuquan's family is not having a good time, Liu Ximing inferred in his heart when he saw this scene.
"Come on, come on, please sit here, I haven't cleaned up for a long time, the place is a little messy, please forgive me."
Liu Ximing saw Dou Yuquan cover the door, and he asked directly with a smile: "Brother Dou, this place is hidden enough, can you continue what you said before." ”
"Hahaha, Brother Liu is really anxious, I can't hide it, I do have a way to help you sell the cloth, but you must keep it secret, that is, you think that Brother Liu is a person who can be friends, and the younger brother is honest."
Liu Ximing hurriedly got up and thanked Dou Yuquan: "Brother Dou, don't worry, these people are my confidants, today's events are from your mouth as my ears, and no one else will know about it." ”
Dou Yuquan nodded: "Brother Liu, don't look at the dilapidated house of mine, in fact, my family has been in the silk business for generations. Shu brocade is famous all over the world, there are many foreign businessmen to purchase, in the past, my father traveled widely, and now although defeated, there are still some uncles who read my family feelings, recently Chu Wangfu is ready to marry a daughter, there is a world uncle to Shunqing procurement, if Brother Liu is willing, I would like to introduce one or two in the center. ”
"Hahaha, Brother Dou, you are really my lucky star."
Liu Ximing suddenly hugged Dou Yuquan's shoulder and patted it affectionately, "If this matter is done, I will benefit you and you." ”
Dou Yuquan was a little unaccustomed to Liu Ximing's way of expressing enthusiasm, so he had to take a small step forward secretly, "It's not necessary, I said it, it's just because I see that Brother Liu is a friend who can help, if you talk about money, it hurts your feelings." ”
Liu Ximing immediately stood in awe, there are few people who regard money as dung these days, and he hurriedly thanked him: "Don't say much, since Brother Dou has believed in me Liu, Liu will not be disappointed." ”
Dou Yuquan saw Liu Ximing's solemn face, and he couldn't help nodding in his heart.
"Knock Knock"
As he spoke, there was a knock on the door of the house.
"Who's coming?" Dou Yuquan asked vigilantly.
A voice came from outside the door: "It's me." ”
Huh, Dou Yuquan suddenly relaxed when he heard this voice, and said to Liu Ximing with a smile as he walked towards the door: "I just invited Brother Liu to drink tea and then leave just to wait for me, the uncle, and now the time is just right." ”
When Dou Yuquan opened the door, the person outside the door immediately flashed into the courtyard, but he probably didn't expect that there were other people in the house, and when he saw that there were more than a dozen people on Liu Ximing's side, this person immediately asked Dou Yuquan vigilantly: "Yuquan, who are these people?" ”
"Oh, don't worry about Shibo, this is my friend, and he is also the surname of the student in this county, Liu Mingximing, these are all his subordinates."
"Brother Liu, this is Uncle Tang Xiuyuan Tang I told you, the Changheng firm run by his family is famous in Huguang Sichuan."
Liu Ximing, Su Yan and others hurriedly saluted Tang Xiuyuan when they heard this, and Liu Ximing took this opportunity to secretly observe him.
This Tang Xiuyuan is a middle-aged man in his forties, with a medium build, a square face, and a moon-white straight robe, which looks like a businessman with the shrewdness and elegance of a businessman.
Seeing Liu Ximing and the others saluting, Tang Xiuyuan also immediately arched his hand, but as soon as he turned around, he pulled Dou Yuquan aside and asked softly: "Yuquan, why are there outsiders here, is this person credible?" ”
"Shibo rest assured, this person should have nothing to do with there, his home is in the countryside of Nanchong County, and now he has a batch of excellent quality fabrics in his hand and is eager to get rid of it, I think that this person is worth associating, and secondly, he will avoid the pain of running away, so he plans to draw a thread in the middle, and he doesn't know anything else."
"Then you have to be more careful, if the news leaks, I'm just afraid of ...... You should think twice about it in the future. ”
Tang Xiuyuan thought that he had suppressed his voice low enough, Liu Ximing and the others should not be able to hear it, but he didn't know that Liu Ximing had been strengthened by the space several times, and his senses in all aspects were already extraordinary, and he could hear the conversation between the two of them clearly at this moment.
It seems that this Yuquan really has some little secrets, Liu Ximing muttered in his heart, but looking at Dou Yuquan's appearance, he shouldn't have any plans for himself, so he temporarily put his doubts back into his stomach.
As soon as Tang Xiuyuan finished talking with Dou Yuquan, he walked quickly to Liu Ximing's left and arched his hand: "Since you are Yuquan's friend, you don't need to see outside, I heard him say that you have a batch of good fabrics and want to sell, but I don't know if there are samples." ”
Li Biao and the others immediately took the fabric sample, Tang Xiuyuanzai carefully checked it a few times, and nodded incessantly: "Yes, yes, it is indeed the best product, but I don't know how many such goods there are?" ”
As soon as Liu Ximing saw that there was a play, he wanted to step forward to talk to him immediately, but he caught a glimpse of Su Yan standing aside, and thought that he would still be mainly responsible for this matter in the future, so Liu Ximing simply motioned him to step forward and reply with his eyes.
Su Yan was clever, and immediately replied to Tang Xiuyuan: "Mr. Tang, this cloth is called fine weaving, it is produced by my family, this time there are only 7,000 horses, and more than 20,000 horses can be produced every month in the future." ”
No one knows about the increase in Liu Xi's life's space, and Su Yan is still estimating according to the original data.
"What?"
Tang Xiuyuan and Dou Yuquan were both surprised, they could produce 20,000 horses per month, and calculated that ordinary cloth was equivalent to 40,000 horses, this is a great cloth village, Tang Xiuyuan looked at Dou Yuquan, are you sure this person is not from a big family?
Dou Yuquan teased Liu Ximing with a wry smile on his face: "Brother Liu, you are hiding from me so hard, but I don't know that your business is so prosperous. ”
"Hahaha, Brother Yuquan, I didn't mean to hide it from you, and you didn't ask. Mr. Tang, I don't know if this Bugui Mansion can be eaten. ”
Tang Xiuyuan took a closer look at the expressions of Liu Ximing and his party, and saw that their faces were no different, he felt a lot more relieved, and responded to Liu Ximing with a smile at this time: "Such a high-quality, I just want to buy more, where will I dislike too much." It's all my own people, so I asked directly, how much does this cloth cost? ”
Su Yan smiled and didn't reply directly, but asked Tang Xiuyuan: "Mr. Tang thinks how much money is appropriate, anyway, everyone is their own person, if the price is right, we will all sell it to your mansion." ”
"Well, well, if the delivery is in Shunqing, then I will pay four dollars of silver, and if I deliver in Chongqing, I can get five dollars a horse, which is a real price."
I went to it, I got rich, I made a fortune, Liu Ximing pinched himself hard before he could hold back his laughter, but he ......, "May I ask, why is the difference in delivery between the two places so big?" ”
