Chapter 145: He's really a good hand at doing business
Chang Kai quickly confirmed one thing, if he made a move on Zhu Da, it was difficult to say the possibility of success, but there would definitely be revenge afterwards, and his wife and children would inevitably suffer.
The previous perfunctory answer, and the next groan, had already made Jin Liang Jin Guan Nian very unhappy, he snorted with a straight face, and said in a lengthened tone: "Old Chang, don't tell me that you are already vegetarian from the third class, and it is still so difficult to find a foreign boy?" ”
Chang Kai shook his head, but took a few steps closer and said: "Second Master Jin, I have been working for almost 20 years, I have seen a lot of various cases and all kinds of outlaws, I can see that this Zhu Da has killed people, and he has not killed a person, and several accomplices around him are not easy to get along with, God knows which number one person this kid was in the rivers and lakes and green forests in the past, you also know that these people in our county are the second masters, it's okay to fool the people, you really want to fight and kill the fire, you may not be able to stand it when you meet a ruthless character, you really have to escape one, our family's families are all in the city, You can't miss it! ”
Jin Guannian's face has been gloomy, he is a person-like person, he can see a lot of things by looking at words and colors, Jin Liang was surprised to find that Chang Kai is very sincere, this is from the bottom of his heart, for the people in the yamen, "sincere" and "from the bottom of the heart" are very rare.
The two sides looked at each other for a moment, Jin Liang wanted to see if Chang Kai was telling the truth, Chang Kai was not vain, and he wanted to persuade the other party not to take risks.
After being silent for a while, Jin Hao seemed to think of something, and said thoughtfully: "Zheng Jiaji's salt stack has a lot of fighting men in his hands, and a few years ago he had a big trouble with the generals of Zuo Wei, and it is said that more than 30 lives were confessed, but no one came to the government. ”
"Second Master Jin, we all have families and businesses, and we can't afford to gamble with outlaws!" Chang Kai added.
Silent again, Jin Liangman nodded reluctantly, coughed and looked at Chang Kai, but said with a smile on his face: "I don't have much contact with you on weekdays, I never thought that you were such an old and serious character, and you can move around more in the future." ”
"The second master has seen the light, and I will invite the second master to eat and drink afterwards." Chang Kai was overjoyed and continued.
"You go back to the duty room first and wait, I'll go to Master Zhou's house to ask for a message, and then give you a letter, you bring the word to Na Zhu Da, I want ten taels of benefits here, if you don't give it, he won't get 20% of the price, if you give it, this certainty will be 80%." After Jin Liang's mind settled, the efficiency of doing things suddenly became much higher.
"Second master, don't worry, Lao Chang will definitely bring the words." Chang Kai hurriedly bowed down and agreed.
Master Zhou is a big man in charge of the county's money, grain, finance and taxation, and has been in the household for 30 years, and has been a manager for 12 years.
Such a character no longer needs to be on duty, the disciples and grandchildren go to greet him every day, and do things for him according to the rules, he comes down one by one, and the whole county has to give face.
Zhou Jingcheng is very good at making a fortune, this time he has no conscience to make a fortune, at the beginning he was coaxing who got whom, or his old man set the charter, saying that it would be distributed uniformly at that time, so as not to ruin the friendship, and lest the uneven distribution of spoils by everyone these days be unsightly.
The two separated, Chang Kai did not return to the yamen, first called his cronies' deputy, and asked him to go to Zhu Da to ask for fifteen taels of silver to pass the cost of the joint, then entered the duty room, returned to the duty room and did not sit down, there were already three or four groups of people to ask what was the matter, Chang Kai only said that Jin Guannian had a private matter to tell him, everyone was curious, this reason is reasonable, and after the curious people dispersed, the cronies and deputy also ran back, fifteen taels of silver delivered.
Chang Kai thought that Zhu Da might not be willing to give the benefits of the fifteen taels, not to mention that he added five taels to the original price, and planned that if he wanted to explain it with his tongue, he would erase the five taels and do personal favors with his own hands, he never thought that Zhu Da would respond so neatly and neatly, which made Chang Kai more calculating, or don't have any crooked ideas, how good it is to make money with such peace of mind, in addition to being happy in his heart, he also gave the deputy five coins of broken silver, and after giving it, Chang Kai inexplicably thought again, so didn't Zhu Da know that he made a cheap price from it? You don't necessarily know it......
However, Chang Kai's grasp of the fact that the golden tube year can be said to be this thing is only fifty percent, the golden tube year has been calculated to this point, that week has become refined after the old age, and the calculation is even better, think about the accumulation of so many goods under the city, if the price of two percent is let out, how can the old man be willing to give up, there must be a few exchanges.
But what Chang Kai never expected was that Jin Liang Jin Guan Nian came back quickly, and the result was the most optimistic, Zhou Jingcheng agreed to this matter, but asked Zhu Da to bid 30% of the price of the goods, the two sides estimated the price, the cash silver delivery, Jin Guan Nian is a hint, 2 into 5 is the bottom line, it can be negotiated.
What kind of place is the yamen, even Chang Kai, who is in it, thinks that it is dark, there is no one in it who does not love money, they are all the characters of goose plucking, although Zhu Dana's transaction of paying cash at 20% of the price of the goods is also reasonable, but for the masters who take advantage of it, they all suffer a loss, I never thought that I would agree to it, and gave such a fair trade conditions, is there anything wrong with it.
"Brother Zhu, I always got things done, but I still have to remind you that this thing is too easy to do, we don't have such a happy thing in the yamen, not to mention that you are lowering the price, although the counteroffer here is not outrageous, this thing is too simple, too easy, and other old people are not easy to say." Chang Kai's words were vague, but anyone could understand the meaning of his words, he was not kind, but afraid that he would be retaliated against if there were really twists and turns.
This time, Chang Kai went directly to Zhu Da's residence, and before talking about today's events, he also saw Zhu Da practicing martial arts in the courtyard, and the movements that were not full of practicality and did not have the slightest fancy made his eyelids jump.
After listening to the news and reminders brought by Chang Kai, Zhu Da pondered for a while, and finally showed a smile on his face, and said lightly: "Since you are willing to trade, it is the best, as for the back, let's be careful." ”
Since Zhu Da has made up his mind, Chang Kai doesn't have much to say, and when he was about to leave, Zhu Da greeted with a smile: "Brother Chang has a heart this time, Brother Chang will take care of it, Zhu Da keeps it in mind, I am not a person who forgets my friends, and I will never treat my friends badly, we will go by day." ”
Although after finishing speaking, Chang Kai planned to keep his distance first, so as not to cause any trouble to him, but when he heard Zhu Da say this, Chang Kai's heart still jumped, and he felt that this might be a great thing.
Zhu Da took Li He to take a rough look at the goods piled up by the city gate, the most valuable goods in the goods are the goods from outside Shanxi, the skins and horns on the grassland, the medicinal materials and cloth of the Ming Dynasty, this should be when the Mongolian cavalry entered the Kou, the caravan left or sent, and it is not even good to explain the goods that came from the road, and there are all kinds of other goods, eggs, ducks, eggs, scattered grain, and even live chickens, live ducks, live pigs and live sheep, and everything that can be exchanged for money in the village can be seen.
After taking stock of these things, I can understand the reason why the yamen is not evenly divided, these things can't be divided equally, it is easy to cause trouble if you give more and give less, and it is not realistic for the head to swallow alone, because these goods are too dazzling and are stared at by everyone, and if you are really greedy, you can't suppress things, and people's hearts will collapse after you can suppress them.
To Zhu Da's surprise, the people in the yamen were very efficient in this matter, and Chang Kai had just finished speaking, and someone came to visit him in the afternoon and made an appointment with him to see the goods.
When he took someone to see the goods the next day, Zhu Da was even more surprised by the attitude shown by the people in the yamen, and he actually did a very measured job, a clerk in the household room and the shopkeeper of a commercial house in the county were responsible for negotiating and valuing, and six people came to the sixth room in the third class to star, but there was no strong meaning from beginning to end, and the dispute over the price was also a normal business category, Zhu Da could explain the reason, and the other party would accept it.
It took about a day to count the goods, and it was probably agreed that it was two hundred and thirty taels of silver, and the total price of these goods was about nearly one thousand taels according to the conversion of two into five, which was really a lot, but the main ones that accounted for the majority of the price were two goods, horns, cowhides and cloths, and medicinal materials, which were clearly marked on the market, and as for those agricultural products, the price was extremely low, and they usually bartered the goods, and they didn't even know the specific price. No one cares so much.
After buying these goods, he paid the silver at Zhu Da's residence, drew up the contract documents, and Zhu Da arranged for Zhang Jinbei and Li Degui to take turns to watch them, and hired seven or eight white guards for ten cents a day.
After the business was confirmed, the clerk who came from the household said something: "Young Master Zhu, there are still a lot of valuable goods that have not been taken out this time, and when your batch of goods sells smoothly, there will be discussions in the future." ”
The words were clueless, Zhu Da didn't care much, he started the follow-up arrangements, after counting the goods, Li He began to sell those live poultry and pigs and sheep on the street, the price was thirty percent cheaper than the market, and there was no need to use cash, dry food such as pancakes and pickles could be exchanged.
Chang Kai, who took Zhu Da's silver, was not idle, helping to recruit laborers on the street as a public servant, and those homeless refugees who had nowhere to return to the city were willing to do a lot of things for two full meals a day, so they recruited twenty people, all of whom were young and strong young men.
"He's really a good businessman." The clerical servants who have been following Zhu Da's actions commented on this.
