Qi Fengwu had already put on a hat with a veil, a thin veil covered her face, Wu Jin and his twenty subordinates did not wear the plum blossom guard uniform today, Wu Jin wore a white brocade robe, wore a businessman's octagonal hat, and his subordinates were all dressed in black, like a big merchant from afar.

Walking to the door of the warehouse, Qi Fengwu whispered to Wu Jin: "There are 400,000 quintals of high-grade tea from Yuhang County and Yongjia County in the warehouse, they use their monopoly to squeeze tea farmers, and the purchase price of one quintal is only one or six taels of silver, and I plan to buy all these teas with 500,000 taels of silver." ”

Wu Jin couldn't help laughing, he deserves to be a businessman, he is very shrewd! Coming to buy goods at this critical time, he will really seize the opportunity, and he asked: "Then how much can it be sold in the end?" ”

Qi Fengwu smiled proudly and said: "We just got the news, the price of grassland sheep is particularly cheap this year, the imperial court has decided to buy millions of sheep from the grassland last month to supply the two capitals and the northern market, there is more mutton, the consumption of tea naturally increases, it is estimated that the price of tea at the end of the year will rise by two to three percent, so calculated, a load of tea can be sold for at least five taels of silver, how much can you calculate how much I can earn?" ”

Wu Jin blinked, gently took her hand and laughed in a low voice: "You can do this deal for me!" Your Qi family is rich enough. ”

"you!"

Qi Fengwu glanced at him, "Who said that I was doing it for the Qi family, this matter has nothing to do with the Qi family at all, this is me earning a dowry." ”

"Good! I'll help you bargain! ”

"I don't need you to help me, you just protect me."

The two of them approached the door of the warehouse as they spoke, and there were five or six guys sitting at the door of the warehouse, and when they saw someone coming, they quickly stood up, Qi Fengwu smiled slightly: "Tell you to be in charge, I came to see the goods." ”

Hearing that a guest came to see the goods, the guy ran to report, and soon, a middle-aged man stepped forward with a smile on his face, bowed down and said, "May I ask how many goods the girl wants to buy?" ”

Qi Fengwu pointed to the warehouse of Donglai Commercial Bank in the distance, and said lightly: "I have been dealing with Donglai Commercial Bank, their rule is 100,000 silver, come directly to the warehouse to do business, less than 100,000, go to the shop to buy and sell, are you different here?" ”

"Same! The same! ”

The steward said repeatedly, in the past two days, the chief steward of the emperor Fu ordered to realize the goods on the spot as soon as possible, but now it is the year-end settlement period, how can the merchants have so much cash, unless they go to the north to sell, the Baifu Money Bank is in a hurry to cash, and the huge pressure makes the Baifu Commercial Bank anxious.

It was easy for a big merchant to come, which made the steward of the firm overjoyed, and he hurriedly ordered someone to open the warehouse, and asked people to find the steward of the Baifu firm.

Qi Fengwu pulled Wu Jin for a while, and the two walked into the big warehouse of Baifu Commercial Bank, the warehouse volume is huge, enough to store millions of stone grain, Baifu Commercial Bank is mainly engaged in grain, tea and timber business, not only from overseas to buy grain and timber, but also from the south of the Ning Dynasty to buy tea, with Weiyang County as a turnover place, or by Cao Yun, or by river, or by sea, all kinds of materials are transported to all parts of the world for sale.

The four large warehouses of Baifu Commercial Bank, one for grain, one for tea, one for wood, and the last one for other groceries, Qi Fengwu's goal today is very clear, that is, to come for tea.

But she didn't show it at all, after looking at the grain warehouse, and then at the grocery warehouse, some medicinal materials, paper and lacquerware and other goods, she asked the price in detail, at this time, the Wang Da Steward of Baifu Commercial Bank came, he was about fifty years old, tall and fat, he knew that the second lady of the Qi family was responsible for inspecting the account books in various places, and he also knew that it was called Qi Fengwu, but he had not seen Qi Fengwu himself.

He stepped forward and bowed and said, "I wonder what the girl wants to buy?" ”

Without waiting for Qi Fengwu to speak, Wu Jin smiled slightly: "This chief steward, you should be called Mrs., your surname is Chen, the name of the capital, this is my clumsy Jing, you might as well call her Mrs. Chen." ”

Qi Fengwu was shocked, and suddenly her face was flushed with shame, fortunately, the veil covered her face, and outsiders couldn't see it, she was angry and funny in her heart, this guy was beating his dowry idea! She flipped her hand, and a fingernail quietly pierced into Wu Jin's palm.

But in the eyes of outsiders, the two were close and holding hands, and the chief steward Wang nodded and smiled: "It turned out that the virtuous couple came to buy goods, but I was rude just now, may I ask the senior official Chen .....?"

Wu Jin waved his hand, "My wife is in charge!" ”

"Oh! May I ask Mrs. Chen, I don't know what I want to buy? ”

"I want to buy some Silla ginseng, do you have any goods here?"

"Yes! I don't know how much Madame charged? ”

"I don't need high-class goods, I only need low-class goods, ten taels of silver a catty."

Steward Wang's face changed, "Madam, inferior ginseng costs fifteen taels of silver a catty, and it has always been this price?" ”

"Really?"

Qi Fengwu smiled faintly, "But I just came from the Donglai warehouse, they are not fifteen taels of silver, why I came to buy goods at this time, the chief steward should be very clear!" ”

Of course, Steward Wang knew that now Donglai and Baifu were in a hurry to deal with the goods, and it was impossible to press the previous price, he knew very well that the price on Donglai's side had dropped to twelve taels of silver, and there was still room for bargaining, so he pondered for a while and said, "Are you cash silver?" ”

Qi Fengwu nodded, "There are also silver tickets, and there are also silver tickets." ”

"We don't want silver tickets, just cash, wait!"

Chief Steward Wang suddenly remembered that their ginseng inventory was not much, and it couldn't be sold for much money, so he hurriedly asked the warehouse steward in a low voice, "How many ginseng stocks are there?" ”

"We are mainly high-grade ginseng, and low-grade ginseng is only 800 catties."

Eight hundred catties are only eight thousand taels of silver, this is a cup of salary, how can it be enough, Wang Daste asked again: "Doesn't Mrs. Chen buy other goods?" ”

Wu Jin found that he admired Qi Fengwu more and more, first using ginseng to test the other party's concession level, and then using Donglai Commercial Bank to lower the price, he married this shrewd businesswoman, maybe he would really become his own virtuous helper.

Qi Fengwu smiled again and said, "In addition to ginseng, there is also tea, I also want to buy a little." ”

Hearing that she always said to buy a little, Steward Wang couldn't help frowning and said, "I don't know how much Madame wants to buy?" ”

"No less than 100,000 quintals!"

Steward Wang was in good spirits, this is big business, he hurriedly waved his hand, "Please go to the tea warehouse!" ”

Everyone came to the tea warehouse again, all the tea leaves were packed in a big bamboo basket, a load of 100 catties, piled up like a mountain, the king steward introduced to them: "Here are the best tea from Yuhang County and Yongjia County, a total of 420,000 quintals, if the lady buys 100,000 quintals, that one quintal and two taels of silver, this is the lowest price we have now." ”

"What if I buy them all?" Qi Fengwu asked with a faint smile.

"Buy it all?"

Steward Wang glanced at her in surprise, and then looked at Wu Jin, who shrugged his shoulders and pointed at Qi Fengwu, meaning to say, 'Madame is in charge!' ’

He groaned and said: "Of course, it can be cheaper to buy all, one or two or eight dollars of silver per load, this is our purchase price, and it can't be lower." ”

"But I know that Donglai Commercial Bank only has one or two or five dollars of silver for a load of tea, and we can talk about it again."

"Madame!"

Steward Wang raised his voice, "They are medium tea, we are high-grade tea, we can't compare." ”

"But Donglai Qianzhuang would rather sell at a loss at this time, and the chief steward should know. I'm telling the truth. ”

"But ....."

Steward Wang was very annoyed in his heart, if it was in the past, the other party kept saying that he used Donglai Commercial Bank to lower the price, he would have waved his hand and shouted: 'Then you go to Donglai Commercial Bank to buy!' But now he didn't dare to say that at this time, cash was a life-saving straw, how could he give the life-saving straw to Donglai Commercial Bank.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Then I will sell it at a loss for one or two or five dollars." ”

Qi Fengwu knew very well in his heart that their purchase price was one or two or six yuan of silver, and they sold it for one or two or five yuan, and they only lost 40,000 taels of silver, which was nothing to them, and they could afford a lower price.

Qi Fengwu smiled slightly: "I just said that one or two or five dollars of silver is Donglai's asking price, and they can be lower, the chief steward bites the price so hard, how can you let me do business with Baifu?" ”

Wu Jin was almost fainting, he remembered a famous saying, the biggest profit is the merchant's real surname, if she marries him, will she have to bargain?

Only then did the chief steward Wang understand that he had met an expert, he slowly calmed down, he knew that even if he gave up one or two silver, the other party still had to lower the price, and he could not be passive anymore, he had to know the other party's reserve price.

He then asked, "How much is the lady willing to pay?" ”

Qi Fengwu smiled and said: "Of course I know that it is impossible to go too far, that is, to take advantage of the danger of others, I came this time to bring one million taels of silver, of which 500,000 are silver tickets, 250,000 Donglai money village silver tickets, 250,000 Baifu money village silver tickets, and I used to buy goods in Donglai Commercial Bank, if I don't buy their things this time, it will be difficult to do business in the future, so I plan to be half of the family, I want all the tea in your library, 250,000 taels of silver, 250,000 Baifu silver tickets, can you do this business?" ”

The face of the chief steward changed as soon as he saw it, this was equivalent to one or two taels of silver, and he would lose four dollars of silver if he sold a load, and he muttered: "Girl, your price is too ruthless!" ”

"The chief steward is not right, now the cash is king, believe it or not, I will now go to buy the deposit ticket of the Baifu Village, I can buy the silver ticket and the deposit ticket of one hundred and twenty taels of silver for one hundred taels of silver, and even more, as soon as I change hands, I will make a net profit of 100,000 taels of silver, and the chief steward just said, do not collect the silver ticket, the consequences of this sentence are very serious, the silver ticket issued by the Baifu Money Bank itself will not be accepted, once it is passed out, the credit of the Baifu silver ticket will be gone."

Qi Fengwu glanced at him again, "Okay! Let's go buy medium tea from Donglai, husband, let's go! ”

Wu Jin couldn't help but want to whistle, how natural and sweet this husband shouted, but before he could experience it carefully, Qi Fengwu's nails pinched him fiercely, and he seemed to know that he was proud.

He said helplessly to the big steward Wang: "The big steward, I'm really sorry, my wife has always done business with Donglai, but I didn't let her put all her eggs in one basket, and now I can't help it!" ”

Steward Wang didn't have time to understand the philosophy in Wu Jin's words, he was already in a hurry, this businesswoman had 500,000 taels of silver, which was simply life-saving money! He hurriedly shouted, "Madame, please stay!" ”
