Chapter 285: Talking Flat
Chapter 285
"Me? I'm the underwriter of the Inner House." Tan Xiaopei replied with sophistication.
This answer was a bit surprising. Strictly speaking, Tan Weixin had an experiment at the beginning, similar to the role of an agent, but this kind of agent has no restrictions on the sales area, and the only question is whether there is a way to sell agricultural products, manufactured products and other things produced by various industries under the name of the inner government. The underwriter system started when Tan Weixin had just taken over the property of the inner government, and at that time, she didn't know Ye Tao. In the beginning, the underwriters were seen as a means for some wealthy businessmen to make friends with the inner government, and the underwriters always kept their profits very low and gave back as much of the sales proceeds as possible to the inner government. However, things have gradually changed over the years. After Tan Weixin and Ye Tao got to know each other, Ye Tao and Ye's Workshop helped Neifu to "modernize" many industries, although Neifu was as reserved, low-key and rational in doing business as before, but the competitiveness of things produced by Neifu was greatly enhanced, and the underwriters became very profitable special businessmen. And the threshold for becoming an underwriter in the inner government is getting higher and higher. Now, there are only nine underwriters in the country in Dongping, and everyone is now worth hundreds of millions.
"Oh, it's a big deal." Zhang Shun asked with a smile: "It's very interesting to help Tanjia do business, right?" ”
Tan Xiaopei smiled and said: "It's just shipping and selling goods, and in the past few years, it's all old customers and old business, isn't that what happened." Where is like Boss Zhang, running around to do the horse business must be able to encounter a lot of new things. ”
Zhang Shun said with a smug face: "That's nature." In the past few years, business has been getting smoother and smoother, but it is not the same as before, and you can still meet horse gang bandits. That's when it was called excitement. ”
Zhang Shun was a good storyteller, and he began to munch on the barbecue handed by his entourage while telling the story of what he had encountered in the horse business of Yunzhou for nearly twenty years. The atmosphere around the campfire was very lively.
Unexpectedly, just when everyone was drunk, Zhang Shun suddenly turned his head to Tan Xiaopei and said, "Brother Tang, I'm sorry, I just have business to talk to these brothers." This one...... Can you move somewhere? ”
The rapidly changing atmosphere made Tan Xiaopei stunned, and Tan Weiying, who was sitting next to him, also frowned. This Zhang Shun is really treacherous enough, and it is difficult to get angry now.
"Boss Zhang. What business do you have to avoid others? Listen to it, I don't know yet. A voice came from behind them.
"Jerro!" The people of the tribes around the campfire let out a cheer. In the eyes of the tribesmen, Jerro is an out-and-out warrior and a super archer. But since Jerro followed Ye Tao and became Ye Tao's close guard, he rarely appeared in front of everyone. But a hero like Jerro will not be forgotten because he disappears for a while, but is more mysterious because he does not often appear in front of everyone. What's more, Jerro is not only an archer, but also the heir of a medium clan. This identity makes Jerro more and more respected by everyone.
"Lord Zhero!" Zhang Shun hurriedly stood up and arched his hand towards Zheluo.
And see Jerro. Tan Xiaopei smiled, leaned into Tan Weiying's ear and said, "Ye Tao is also here." Go find him. ”
Tan Weiying smiled shyly, but still stood up and beckoned Kanazawa to go together. Tan Xiaopei and Zhuo Xiu looked at each other, and the girl's extroversion had long been a sure fact in their eyes. No more surprises.
He walked to the campfire, and made a lot of money in the place that had been vacated for him, and casually tossed him a plate of extremely fine lamb meat. He took a deep breath of the greasy aroma mixed with cumin, black pepper, chili pepper and other spices, and picked up a piece of roast meat and stuffed it into his mouth. While chewing, he said to Zhang Shun: "Boss Zhang, you should know the rules of Yunzhou, right?" ”
As soon as Zheluo said this, Zhang Shun's wine immediately sobered up more than half of it. At present, Yunzhou has the most sound commercial law in the world, and also has a fairly complete system of self-improvement of commercial law. The Commercial Law clearly stipulates the punishment for those merchants who obstruct competitors from entering the Yunzhou market with their own strength. On the one hand, it is difficult to form a force sufficient to prevent others from entering, and in fact, the Yunzhou Jingluo Prefecture also lacks the punishment of such merchants. However, for a businessman like Zhang Shun, who is mainly engaged in horses and relies on the Yunzhou Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Bureau and the Yunzhou Commerce and Trade Bureau for share control, once Yunzhou is labeled as unfair competition, the loss will be extremely huge. If it was before, the pastures in Yunzhou and the tribes on the Wolf Plains had some private trade, but now Yunzhou is different, and the income from trading through the Commerce and Trade Bureau is more profitable than the original private transaction, and it is also safer and more secure. In addition, Ye Tao, Gelan, Tan Weixin, Dai Yun and others were pinched together to supervise the forces in Yunzhou. Hardly anyone dares to defy the world's condemnation.
"Where? Lord Jerro. How dare I? Fantasy has always been the most disciplined, isn't it the end of the year that business is more troublesome. If Brother Tang wants to go to Yunzhou to do business. If there's any trouble, I'll take care of it. I don't dare to say anything else, at least the delivery route is still very smooth, right? Zhang Shun immediately clapped his chest. He can also see that this Tang Moumou must be extraordinary, otherwise Zheluo would not have jumped out at this time.
"Brother Zhang is polite." Tan Xiaopei was amused by the scene happening in front of him, this kind of vivid scene was impossible to see in the imperial court.
"What does Brother Tang need, just say, what are you going to do in Yunzhou?" Zhang Shun hurriedly opened the topic and turned his head to ask Tan Xiaopei.
"Didn't you get a scimitar of Damascus steel? It is said that it is a trial product of Ye's Workshop, the kind that has not been finalized. That's a hundred. Yunzhou people love knives and weapons, and if they bring some other goods from the inner house, it is enough to run the opening scene of Yunzhou once, right? Tan Xiaopei bragged. He wasn't afraid of the cowhide being blown up, not to mention that he wasn't really ready to do it, and even if he did, he believed that the Ye Workshop would be able to help him make hundreds of scimitars of completely different styles of Damascus steel. Ye's Workshop is now not only a strong technical force, but also has a 20-day national delivery efficiency for small batches of goods and customization, in this slow-paced time and space, this standard will be obsolete for a long time.
But Tan Xiaopei's casual remark immediately caused a buzz around him. The number of weapons produced by Ye's workshop is not large, but most of them are high-quality weapons. Weapons of general texture, after the trial formulation of the Ye Workshop, will basically be handed over to the Gao family, the Dong family, the Xu family, and the emerging masters who firmly follow the Ye family's technical trend to do. And the scimitar made of Damascus steel is a rumored artifact, and now all of them are equipped with Damascus steel weapons, and there are only a few guards under the Yunzhou Jingluo Mansion in the whole world.
Zheluo naturally knew Tan Xiaopei's identity, and at this time, he was naturally happy to have fun, and hurriedly said: "This Tang brother, are you talking about the deputy blade?" ”
Tan Xiaopei didn't understand what it was, and these specific technical details wouldn't have stabbed him, but as the lord of the country, there were still basic changes, and when he saw that Zheluo was giving himself a round, he continued: "Yes, but I didn't understand what it was for." Did you know, Brother Jerro? ”
Zheluo smiled and said: "The tribal cavalry is suitable for being equipped with double knives, my Lord Ye doesn't know what to think, but it is said that equipped with double knives should be different, and it should be divided into the main hand and the deputy." The weapon of the main hand should be thick and sharp, able to cut and smash, and the main weapon should be used for attack, while the weapon of the deputy hand should be light and flexible, used to parry and block, and close defense, so this deputy blade was made. It looks very beautiful and feels good. But after the trial, Jing Yunqi said that he really got rid of his temperament, who cares if he defends or not, the deputy blade is too light, and it is not refreshing when fighting, and if the main cavalry sword is out of his hand, he can't stand up to the position of the cavalry sword, and he doesn't want that thing. As a result, this batch of samples was recycled, and now only our guards are equipped with one as a third melee weapon. Well, this is it. As he spoke, he unsheathed a slender scimitar from his waist and gently pulled it out. In an instant, the delicate water ripples on the blade grabbed everyone's attention.
"It's so beautiful...... Zhang Shun muttered. And those tribesmen who have a deep-rooted love for good weapons look at Tan Xiaopei with fiery eyes.
Although this blade is shorter and thinner than the cavalry sword, it is not necessarily unsuitable for fighting, but it does not have the heaviness and freshness of the cavalry sword. The off-hand blade may not be suitable for large army equipment, but it is very suitable for use as a portable weapon, and it is a good choice to carry with you like Jerro, and it will not affect your daily activities at all. They didn't know that Zhero was a lover of this kind of off-hand blade, as an archer, he was not very interested in cavalry fighting, and the cavalry sword equipped with him had always been hung on the saddle and rarely used. Not only did Jerro carry a second-hand blade with him, but he also had another one in his quiver, which was better for him than a cavalry sword.
"Brother Tang, don't be surprised if you offended before. My Lao Zhang is this bad problem that I can't see others' pride, but I don't see it, my brother is really hand-eyed. Come on, let's have a toast, how about just unveiling? Zhang Shun was also refreshed, and quickly apologized.
Tan Xiaopei waved his hand and said, "Where can you be called offended, this cup is dry." ”
And at this time, it happened that the people of the two Ye Mansions came over with two large barrels of gray goose essence wine. Zheluo hurriedly greeted: "Hehe, there is just good wine, change it to good wine and dry it." ”
The arrival of the Grey Goose Essence Wine attracted cheers, and after three rounds of wine, Tan Xiaopei and Zhuo Xiu stood up and quietly withdrew. Zhuo Mang and Chi Xianping, who were sitting opposite them, and Zheluo also left together unknowingly when everyone was rushing for fine wine.
