Part 3 (8) Buying and Selling
The morning is the busiest time for the Ruyi Teahouse, the sun has just appeared, and the Ruyi Teahouse is already full. The flat people's love of gossip will never change, it is the same in any era, and Ruyi Teahouse just meets this need.
The owner of the teahouse is obviously a very shrewd businessman, and every morning as soon as the sun rises, there will be a storyteller in the center of the teahouse. Ordinary people have few sources of information, so they are naturally willing to come here to listen to some gossip and go back as a conversation after dinner.
Interestingly, this storyteller is also responsible for answering some questions from the audience, and sometimes invites some high-rollers who often go to the capital to come as guests, which is a bit of a TV interview show now.
Bai Qi asked people to set a place in this Ruyi Teahouse yesterday, and came here early this morning, and Bai Qi made an appointment. When I entered the teahouse, I saw that the storyteller in the middle was already foaming at the mouth, and Bai Qi didn't take anything to heart. Before Bai Qi's ass could sit firmly, he heard someone shouting: "Okay, Bai Qi, today is either you die or I die!" Look at the knives! ”
Bai Qi was shocked when he heard this, looked up and looked around, but found nothing, the guests were normal. Following the voice to look at the past, Bai Qi suddenly smiled bitterly, it turned out that the storyteller was talking.
"Everyone! If you want to know how the battle between Bai Qi and the Xiongnu prince ended, please listen to the next decomposition. The old storyteller picked up his plate and began to collect money everywhere.
Bai Qi himself definitely didn't expect that his affairs in the Qizhou ring had been compiled into a book, and it seemed that it was not difficult for people in this era to become famous.
Bai Qi and other people also came at this time, that is the "Taobao Pavilion" Yu shopkeeper, Bai Qi still has a few calligraphy and paintings for him to auction, now he is here to collect money, in the future, if you want to gain a foothold in the capital, if you want to achieve a little career, you can't do it without money.
"Ouch! My God, who should I invite me to come here early in the morning, it turned out to be the seventh prince, you don't know, now you have become a celebrity in the capital, this is not ......" Yu shopkeeper was surprised and happy to see Bai Qi, in fact, Bai Qi asked him yesterday when it was very simple, just let people go over, the note said, "If you want to get the painting of the wanderer at the end of the world, meet in the Ruyi Teahouse tomorrow morning." ”
After being pleasantly surprised, Shopkeeper Yu almost revealed Bai Qi's identity, but fortunately, Bai Qi saw the opportunity early and hurriedly made a gesture to make him stop.
Bai Qi beckoned Shopkeeper Yu to sit down and said, "Shopkeeper Yu, don't come to harm's place, business is good?" ”
Hearing Bai Qi's words, the shopkeeper Yu immediately stood up again, and then knelt down for Bai Qi, saying, "My seventh son, you can be saved." ”
"How does this work! If you have something to say, you can talk about it. Bai Qi hurriedly stepped out first to support it.
"Speaking of which, it's no wonder that you, Childe, originally proposed to put the painting in the small shop for auction, because we are old friends, and we also have the meaning of taking care of my business, but I blame the lack of greed, I want to think that Childe's paintings will not be broken, so I let out the words, auction your new work once a month. As a result, you didn't have any letter at all, which offended those painting fans of yours, and forced the old man to ask for calligraphy and painting all day long, and almost didn't smash my store several times. Shopkeeper Yu made a bitter face and explained the reason.
When Bai Qiyi heard this, he smiled happily, put a few calligraphy and paintings brought by him from his side and said, "There are a few calligraphy and paintings here, you take them to rescue first." ”
Shopkeeper Yu was overjoyed, and hurriedly took it, and couldn't help but thank him: "The seventh prince is really interesting, I didn't say it, I'll send someone to get the silver ticket, this is all the money you used to sell paintings, I have been saving it for you." ”
Saying that, Shopkeeper Yu told his attendants to take his seal to get the silver ticket, and he accompanied Bai Qi to talk here. While talking, the storyteller started again, and there was a shocking sound, talking about the name of the white seven battles Duanmu.
The most attentive in the audience was the shopkeeper, and while listening, he looked at Bai Qi, but he didn't know if this Bai Qi was Bai Qi. Shopkeeper Yu looked at it for a long time, and the Bai Qi in front of him was dressed in a moon-white robe, although his figure was not low, his face was white and starry, and his hands were thin and white, no matter how he looked at it, he didn't look like the legendary Bai Qi who made a big fuss in the ring.
is saying that the storyteller has already given Bai Qi a myth, what is a foot long, a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and his eyes are like copper bells, which is not a boundary with Bai Qi in front of him at all. The storyteller said excitedly, and suddenly slapped Tang Mu and said: "Everyone, seeing that the knife of the end of the wood name came to Bai Qi with a cold light, but I saw that the white seven smiled and waited, stretched out his right hand to the sky, attracting a string of lightning, and immediately split the end of the wood name into a string of coke." ”
When Bai Qi heard this, he couldn't help but laugh, and couldn't help but squirt out a sip of tea, but fortunately, Bai Qi was agile, and the tea sprayed all the ground with his head down.
Shopkeeper Yu was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "Seventh Prince, don't you matter?" ”
"No problem! No problem! Bai Qi hurriedly waved his hand.
Seeing that Bai Qi was fine, he was relieved to use the shopkeeper, but people's curiosity was always irresistible, and after hesitating for a while, the shopkeeper still asked Bai Qi: "Seventh son, is the Bai Qi mentioned above you?" ”
Bai Qi smiled bitterly and rolled his eyes: "What do you say, am I as terrible as he said?" Am I like a Lord who can summon lightning? Saying Bai Qixindao: It seems that YY's work is definitely not unique to the previous life, and the storyteller YY in front of him is outrageous enough.
The work was not large, and the subordinates of the shopkeeper Yu took the silver tickets, a total of 30,000 taels. After handing over to Bai Qi, the shopkeeper Yu was about to say goodbye with a few polite words, but he didn't think that Bai Qi called the shopkeeper Yu and said: "Don't be busy going first, I want to do some business recently, and the doorway inside wants to ask the shopkeeper Yu for advice or two." ”
Shopkeeper Yu heard it strangely, but he still sat down and said: "Seventh Prince, with your full stomach, it is not difficult to take the official examination in the future, and it is unknown if you can't go to the court to pay respects, how do you want to do business?" ”
Bai Qi smiled: "Actually, it's not a big deal, I have a bunch of little brothers, in fact, it's not difficult for me to raise them, but I'm afraid that something will happen to them when they're idle, so I want to find some business for them to do, and I can save some snacks." ”
As soon as the trader heard that there was a business to do, although it may not be the bank, but he still wanted to know, and the interested Yu shopkeeper asked: "Seventh Prince, you are not an ordinary master, and I don't see you as an ordinary business, tell me, is there any good way to make money, can you pull me down." ”
To say that this antique calligraphy and painting is generally not interested in anything else, but Bai Qi is too special in the eyes of the shopkeeper Yu, and the shopkeeper Yu, who has made no less money from Bai Qi's calligraphy and painting, of course wants to see if there is any benefit.
"Let me ask you a question, what do you think of the wine that is currently available on the market?" Bai Qi asked with a smile.
Shopkeeper Yu is worthy of doing business, although he is not in this bank, but after thinking about it for a while, he replied: "If you want to talk about this wine, there are now no less than 100 large and small workshops in the capital, the most famous is Wang Laoliu's Wang family Qianlixiang, his wine is strong, and people will faint when they go down with a pound of wine, why do you want to do this business?" I think it's okay, don't bother to find a life for your little brother, I still have some face in the capital, your brothers are handed over to me, and I will introduce them to various shops to do apprentices, isn't that the same? ”
Shopkeeper Yu's kindness was naturally based on Bai Qi's calligraphy and painting interests, and Bai Qi smiled and declined: "That's not necessary." If I say that I can make a wine that is much purer than the wine on the market today, what do you think the deal will be? ”
The shrewd shopkeeper Yu immediately realized the business opportunities contained in this, and immediately took over the words and said: "Then I have to say, then your business is the only one in this capital, and there will definitely be a lot of money." ”
Bai Qi smiled and looked at Shopkeeper Yu and said, "How is it?" Are you interested in doing it together? "Bai Qi originally planned to pull the shopkeeper into the water, the manufacturing principle and simplicity of the spirits are nothing more than distillation and processing on the basis of the existing wine, Bai Qi is fully confident that he will come up with a device for making wine. It's just that Bai Qi himself will definitely not have time to take care of this matter in the future, and the two upcoming wives still have a lawsuit waiting for them, although Qingqing is capable, but after all, they are too young, let alone Xiaohu, so Bai Qi needs someone to help him sit down, so he naturally thought of Yu Shopkeeper.
At this time, the shopkeeper Yu calmed down and thought about it first, and then asked Bai Qi: "Seventh son, with your calligraphy and painting, don't say anything else, turn into a painting a day, it's not difficult to get a million net worth in a year, is it necessary for you to open a business?" ”
Shopkeeper Yu asked this, which made Bai Qi value him more and more, and Bai Qi smiled and said: "Shopkeeper Yu, things in this world have always been rare and expensive, don't you say?" I can draw 10 paintings a day, but can I still sell my calligraphy and paintings for a good price? Besides, this painting and writing must have a good mood and inspiration, and it doesn't mean that you can draw it, even if you draw it in front of you, the thing you draw is dry, isn't that a smashing of your own signboard? The purpose of me pulling you to open a business is to take care of the business, and in the future, I will be a hands-off shopkeeper, just take care of the money. Just take my little brothers with you. ”
In fact, Shopkeeper Yu asked Bai Qi another meaning, he wanted to get involved in this business, but he had his own worries. Although the sale of this wine is unique, there must be no profit or loss. Bai Qi must take the lion's share of the business, Bai Qi does business in the Yu shopkeeper's view, it is a layman, if the business is done Bai Qi is blindly commanded, then isn't it a layman commanding an insider? It's definitely not good for buying and selling.
Now Bai Qi expressed his attitude, only teaching how to make wine, and not participating in the business and business, so that the shopkeeper Yu was relieved, so he also readily agreed: "Okay!" I did the sale. ”
