Listening to this guy's words, Liu Hai and Wu Cheng couldn't help laughing, this treasure hug was full of incomprehensible mystery from the inside out.

Since someone led the way and took the two of them to appreciate it, they didn't mind, Liu Hai said: "Then it's bothering Brother Tai." ”

The reason why this guy is called Brother Tai is because this guy is not like the tea doctor of an ordinary tea shop, this person is well-dressed and can talk well, no matter how you look at it, it is difficult to associate him with those shop guys.

The guy nodded, and no longer greeted, first led the two to the porter, on both sides of the porter are two black blackboards, on which are written lines of small characters with charcoal, the guy smiled: "Two guest officers, please see." ”

Wu Cheng leaned over and read this line of words, but couldn't help but be stunned.

"Jiangnan silk price: five thousand dollars a horse. Chengdu price: six thousand three hundred dollars. Jingshi price: 5,400 yuan ......"

Wu Cheng was stunned for a moment, the price of Jiangnan and Jingshi, he roughly knew that although there were slight fluctuations, if only the price of shipment and purchase was calculated, it should not be much different from the price here. In this huge blackboard, there are many small characters densely written, not only silk, but also raw silk, livestock, ceramics, tea, rice and other commodities import and export prices.

Only under the silk section, there is also a line of small words: "Xi'an Mansion has been raining continuously recently, the roads are difficult to travel, and the river has skyrocketed, so that the silk Lange has skyrocketed by 500 yuan." ”

Wu Cheng couldn't help but be stunned, he was doing a raw silk business, but this business was inseparable from silk, every time he transported raw silk to Beijing, he always had to inquire about the market of Jingshi silk before choosing a price to ship, sometimes the news was not accurate, or the price was pressed to death by the merchants of Beijing, and a time may lose hundreds of taels of silver. If there is this price list, it does not mean that this price list can be absolutely correct, but at least there is one more reference, and the goods in hand can be sold at the right time according to the changes in the market price of silk.

Wu Cheng couldn't help but be excited, in fact, the goods around the country, because of the weather, the market and other reasons are not small, not to mention a price a day, at least half a month a price is a common thing, with this Renge reference, for many people who ship and buy goods, it is equivalent to a lot of convenience, he couldn't help but say to the guy: "Is this price the most up-to-date price?" ”

The guy smiled and said: "It is indeed the most up-to-date slackness, Jubaolou has practiced dozens of guys, in Suzhou, Hangzhou, Quanzhou, Xi'an, Chengdu, Nanjing, Liaodong and other dozens of prefectures to listen to the news, and then use a fast horse to send the news on time, the error of the news is only seven days at most." ”

Seven-day ...... It may be too procrastinating for future generations, but it is a great progress for this era. For example, when Wu Cheng was about to return to his hometown in Suzhou, he inevitably had to buy some goods to sell in Suzhou, and all he did was to compare the purchase price of some special products of Jingshi with the shipping price in Suzhou, and then make a choice and send him back to his hometown. While there may be a number of factors that can cause the price to skew, this reference is crucial.

Not only Wu Cheng, but even Liu Hai, who was doing silk business in Beijing, couldn't help but sigh, the businessman already had the shrewdness of a businessman, and Liu Hai only looked at the price of the straight silk in the blackboard, and couldn't help but sigh: "Only this silk Shilun is worth these ten taels of silver." ”

He is not exaggerating at all, although he is in Beijing, but the price of raw silk shipments in various places can know a little bit or two, at least the purchase of raw silk, there is a number in mind, at least to avoid the loss of the market fall.

In comparison, what is ten taels of silver?

Wu Cheng also agreed, nodded, and said, "Brother Liu is right. ”

The guy just smiled, didn't say anything, just asked the two to continue walking, Wu Cheng still kept looking back at the current price in the blackboard, quite a little reluctant, and then there were rows of houses, each row was dozens of small tea rooms, but the guy obviously didn't take them to stay, but took them directly through, behind this row of houses is a large-scale hall, this hall actually opened ten doors, each door is hung with plaques, some on silk, some on porcelain and the like, The man asked them about their business, and led them to the silk hall.

A few people in the silk hall were already seated in the empty hall.

There is a Wu Cheng who actually recognizes that he is from Hangzhou, and he is also in the raw silk business, and the two of them have traveled together when they entered Beijing. As for Liu Hai, because he is a Jingshi person, there are even more people who know him, Zhang Ji of Chaoyangmen, Wang Ji of Neidongcheng, although everyone has no friendship, they are all a little familiar.

The guy invited the two of them to pick up a table and sit down, and then said with a smile: "The people who drink tea here are all businessmen who are related to silk, some sell raw silk, some buy raw silk, some sell silk, and some buy silk, can the guest officer see the blackboard?" ”

The two looked towards the man's pointing, and found that in this silk hall, there was actually a huge blackboard, and only one line of small characters was written on the blackboard. ”

The guy explained to the two: "This is marked by the tea customers who come here, as long as they come here to drink tea, they can be marked, the guest officer of seat seven sells raw silk, and if other tea customers have the intention of buying, they can go directly to seat seven and talk to the guest officer in detail." ”

Wu Cheng's face changed suddenly, for them these merchants, even if they escort the goods, the shipment is also the most important, if they can't find a buyer for a while, they have to stay in Beijing all the time, the warehouse in the warehouse costs money, the inn asks for money, not to mention the delay of time, if they will traffic goods to Beijing in the future, they don't have to work hard to inquire around, every day to this silk hall to sit and drink tea, ask people to mark their goods on the blackboard, people who want to buy raw silk look at his mark and his seat, Naturally, we will come to talk about it in detail.

In addition, those merchants who buy raw silk can also mark the content of the purchase on another blackboard, which is clear at a glance and does not delay time, plus there is a reference price in this teahouse, which can also save room for bargaining.

Wu Cheng couldn't help but think in his heart, over time, this treasure building will be full of friends, at that time, I don't know how many people want to sell, buy raw silk, as long as the goods are transported to Beijing, you can go directly to this treasure building, a day of hard work can negotiate the price, the goods don't even have to be put into storage, just wait on the dock

And Liu Hai was also surprised, it is very difficult to do business, to buy the original ya, but also to sell, if you are not careful, you may go on a business trip, but in this treasure building, but all of a sudden people feel relaxed, what they do is just drink tea, after drinking tea, this business is done.

"It seems that these ten taels of silver are not only worth the cost, but they are really worth it, even if thirty taels of silver enter this door, it is not too much." Liu Hai smiled at Wu Cheng and smiled.

Wu Cheng was thinking in his heart, for you, a Jingshi, thirty taels is not too much to enter this door, but for us merchants, the convenience is greater, even fifty taels of silver may not be worth it. After all, if you negotiate the business one day earlier, the expenses saved are a lot, and if you delay one more day, you will waste more than a dozen taels of silver.

As the two were talking, the Hangzhou merchant sitting in seat seven had already gone to a merchant who was buying raw silk, and the two ordered tea and chatted in a low voice.

Wu Cheng's eyes were hot, in fact, this time he shipped raw silk, in fact, the price was lowered by bangs, he knew that there was such a teahouse, so why bother to trade with bangs? Come here directly, talk to these buying merchants one by one, and are you afraid that you won't be able to sell them for a good price?

Just thinking about it, the guy took out a tea list on the table, there are many kinds of tea here, and all kinds of pastries, there are detailed prices behind the list, but this price is not expensive, the most common tea, a pot of charge also costs one or two silver, and the high one is ten taels and twenty taels, which is the expense of most people for more than a year, but here is just a pot of tea.

However, Wu Cheng thought in his heart, he was afraid that those who came to sit here would never order one or two pots of tea, and most of them would order ten or twenty one pots

The reason is very simple, this is a place where businessmen gather, the better the tea ordered, the more you can show your net worth, if it is too shabby, people will only think that you are doing a small business, who wants to talk to you about business?

Wu Cheng couldn't help but suck it again. Cool, if this is the case, when the treasure building is full of friends in the future, tens of thousands of businessmen come and go every day, and the profit of this day is not more than tens of thousands of taels of silver?

For the good or bad business here, Wu Cheng has been keenly a little careful, the business here will not be bad, there are so many businessmen in the world, among the Beijing division alone, there are no less than 10,000 big businessmen, not to mention the merchants who enter Beijing every day, from Xi'an, Quanzhou, Suzhou and Hangzhou, Chengdu Mansion, basically there are thousands of businessmen in and out every day. These businessmen want to ship, buy, and even socialize with business partners in this Jingshi, and for these merchants, although the treasure building is expensive, it is definitely the most suitable place.

The guy sat with the two of them for a while, and then said, "The two guest palaces, do you want to go to the elegant seat with the villain to have a look?" ”

"Seats?" Wu Cheng couldn't help but say, "What's so famous about this?" ”

The guy smiled and said, "The two of you will know when you go to the guest palace." ”

"Could it be that this treasure building still has a mystery that can provide convenience for us businessmen? If this is the case, the owner of Jubaolou must have too many whimsical ideas. Wu Cheng thought in his heart, then smiled, stood up and said, "Okay, let's go and have a look." ”
