Chapter 13 Becoming a Wealthy Merchant in Linqing

Lu Yuan and Song Yuqing began to prepare to sign the contract, and also asked Tang Wen, the head of the case, to bail out.

Tang Wenyun didn't expect Lu Yuan to sign such a big order, but he was also worried about whether Lu Yuan could come up with 10,000 pieces of cotton cloth in two months.

"Lu Yuan, are you really sure? That's 10,000 horses! Even 10,000 pieces of cheesecloth would take three or four months to weave. ”

Tang Wenyun reminded Lu Yuan.

"Brother Shi, don't worry too much, this matter, the foolish brother has his own measure, and the right and left are indispensable to Ling Mei's dowry."

Lu Yuan said with a smile.

"Are you really worried that you won't be able to get my sister's dowry? I'm worried about you", Tang Wenyun glanced at Lu Yuan and said.

Lu Yuan thanked him, didn't talk to Tang Wenyun anymore, and after seeing that Song Yuqing had personally counted the thousand pieces of cloth in stock, he chatted with Song Yuqing.

For a while, Song Yuqing's servant also sent two thousand taels of silver, all of which were horseshoe silver, and the silver was piled up in several boxes.

Lu Yuan hurriedly counted with Tang Wenyun, Uncle Fei and others, and after confirming that the silver coins were sufficient, they officially pressed their handprints.

And after Song Yuqing pressed the handprint and took away a contract, she first said to Lu Yuan: "Master Lu, in two months, I can wait for your remaining nine thousand spring breeze cloths, and I will personally send someone to ask for it when the time comes." ”

"Song Xianggong rest assured, I look forward to greater cooperation between us."

Lu Yuan's words are not false, although Song Yuqing is now willing to pay a high price of 4,000 taels to buy his 10,000 horses of spring wind cloth, but he actually hopes to cooperate with the Zheng group behind Song Yuqing to earn benefits in sea trade.

But what Lu Yuan didn't expect was that this Song Xianggong never mentioned the Zheng family, as if he was just an independent businessman.

Song Yuqing smiled: "Don't ask more questions, Song has this intention, in three or five days, my son-in-law and Mr. Shui Xinglin will come to the Qing Dynasty, this is a rule every year, when the top ten businessmen in Linqing City and the businessmen specially invited by our Zheng family will gather in the Honghua Building to determine the procurement of the five merchants in Shanwu." ”

As he spoke, Song Yuqing took out a gilded invitation and handed it to Lu Yuan: "Now, Song has officially invited Gongzi to participate, and I hope that Gongzi will take the time to participate when the time comes, remember to bring the best-selling things of your businessmen." ”

"Thank you."

Lu Yuan nodded, he didn't expect that the Zheng family still had so many rules for purchasing maritime trade goods, and the head of a Linqing branch could only have the qualification to invite businessmen but not the qualification to decide on procurement, and even if the Lu family relied on the spring breeze cloth to make a name for itself in Linqing, it was just an opportunity to be specially invited to obtain the Zheng family's procurement.

It is worthy of being a maritime trade monopoly group, and doing business is so complicated.

Lu Yuan took the invitation in his hand, looked at it, and handed it to Uncle Fei.

Uncle Fei's face was full of horror, and he looked at Lu Yuan with tears in his eyes: "Brother, you really didn't expect me that you would let the Lu family get such an invitation!" The spirit of heaven would be very happy if he knew! ”

Lu Yuan said with a smile: "Why is Uncle Fei so excited, it's just an invitation." ”

Tang Wenyun on the side laughed: "Lu Yuan, don't underestimate this kind of invitation, the one surnamed Zheng in Fujian is about to become the king of Fujian now!" This pirate-born martial artist, taking advantage of the internal and external troubles in the court, has no time to take care of him, he has already controlled the world Haili, how many businessmen want to look up to him, and now it is a kind of glory to be looked down upon by the Zheng family, Linqing City is also an important commercial town in the world, tens of thousands of merchants, but only the top few merchants can be invited by the Zheng family, you can get this kind of invitation, it means that you are qualified to become the top few merchants in Linqing! ”

After Tang Wenyun said this, Uncle Fei also nodded: "As long as you cooperate with the Zheng family, there will be a huge wealth overnight, brother, our Lu family must seize the opportunity and strive to become a wealthy businessman in Linqing!" ”

Tang Wenyun also smiled, although he didn't know that Lu Yuan would get such a good new fabric, and because of this, he would get in touch with the people of the Zheng family, but he also hoped that Lu Yuan could become a wealthy businessman in Linqing, so that his sister would not suffer a loss if she married Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan nodded: "Uncle Fei is right, we will strive to cooperate with the Zheng family!" ”

After Lu Yuan said this, he looked at the two thousand taels of silver placed in the warehouse, and was quite excited for a while, compared with the prices of later generations, if converted into RMB, two thousand taels of silver would be worth at least more than one million.

In other words, on this day alone, he earned more than one million yuan.

Lu Yuan never thought that he would make so much money one day.

At this time, Uncle Fei was equally excited when he saw so much silver, and he was even more impressed by Lu Yuan for a while: "I didn't expect it, I didn't expect that the Lu family weaving workshop would have a re-emergence one day!" ”

Mother Lu Kang's family was even more excited to tears when she saw so much silver, Rao is Lu family used to be rich and only a few hundred taels of net worth, but now she suddenly saw two thousand taels of silver, she knelt directly in front of Lu Yuan's father's mourning hall and cried: "Master, you see, Yuan'er has come out, not only revitalized our Lu family's weaving workshop, but also earned so much silver!" Whining! ”

Tang Wenyun was also surprised by this, although his Tang family was a scholarly family, he Tang Wenyun had never seen so much cash.

Tang Wenyun patted Lu Yuan: "Lu Yuan, my brother is waiting for you to become a wealthy businessman as soon as possible." ”

"Brother Shi, then I will also wait for you to win the three yuan as soon as possible!"

Lu Yuan smiled, in fact, he didn't just want to become a rich businessman at all, in this era, becoming a rich businessman would only become a fat sheep slaughtered by others, and only having his own armament was the foundation of survival.

Now I have a deposit of two thousand taels.

The first thing Lu Yuan had to do was naturally to buy a dowry for marrying Tang Ying.

After all, Tang Ying has already passed the age of peace, and if he doesn't marry Tang Ying, he will appear to be untrustworthy in the Lu family.

"Brother Shi, while you are here, Brother Yu wants to go to your mansion as soon as possible to get hired, and I also ask Brother Shi to help introduce a gentleman and determine the date of hiring, our Lu family has to start preparing the dowry now."

Lu Yuan hurriedly said to Tang Wenyun.

Tang Wenyun laughed: "It should have been like this a long time ago, I don't know what my aunt wants." ”

Mother Lu Kangshi naturally strongly agreed with this, and she wished that she could marry her grandson as soon as possible: "This is naturally an excellent thing, it should have been done a long time ago, and it will be unreasonable for our Lu family to drag it out any longer." ”

Thereupon.

Lu Yuan began to ask Uncle Fei to buy a dowry.

……

"Brother, there is news from the Tang Mansion that the Lu family is ready to be hired, and now they are about to prepare a dowry."

At this time, as soon as Zhang Heng got up from a girl, he heard the word from his little servant outside, and he hurriedly stopped his hand for a while and roared: "What! This Lu Yuan is really ready to marry my cousin, doesn't he want to pay back my Zhang family's money?! ”
