It was getting dark, and the dim lights were lit in the lobby of the inn, and Ning Sheng was instructing the men of the caravan to be busy.
There were few guests in the inn, so Ning Sheng simply rented half of the area in the lobby, and sorted the fox skins, wolf skins, and deer skins according to the type and grade, so that the shopkeepers and men of various businesses would come to watch the sale during the day tomorrow. The caravan entered for the first time, and Ning Sheng had never purchased goods of this scale, so he could only keep it simple for the time being, and the next step would be to buy a shop in the mouth of the caravan.
Halfway through, the streets outside were deserted. Winter in the north is like this, the sun sets, and under the cold wind and ice, very few people want to wander outside, even the most prosperous Jingshi.
Ning Sheng was still busy, most of these guys had no experience in business, and they couldn't tell the grade of the goods, so he had to personally intervene in everything.
The false door of the inn was pushed open, and two people came in from outside, and one in front of him was holding an angry lantern in his hand, swaying. Xiao Er hurriedly got up from the stool to greet the guests.
When he saw the person behind him clearly, Xiao Er hurriedly bowed down and greeted: "Liu Dongjia!" ”
It was Liu Rui who was carrying the lantern in front, and it was Liu Quan, the young owner of Dexiangkui, who followed behind.
Liu Quan nodded at Xiao Er, turned his face to the caravan that was busy in the inn, and said, "Brother Ning is still busy so late?" ”
Ning Sheng had already seen the person who was coming, put down the affairs in his hand, walked over and saluted: "Liu Dongjia, I was going to visit you again tomorrow, and I don't thank you for today's matter." ”
Liu Quan waved his hand and said, "It's a good effort!" ”
"There are a lot of people here, I wonder if I can invite Mr. to get together?"
Ning Sheng was slightly surprised and asked, "Tonight?" ”
Liu Quan nodded and said, "If it's convenient for Mr.!" ”
Ning Sheng raised his eyes to look outside the door, the street was dark and bottomless, the cold wind was raging, and he had the heart to refuse.
Liu Quan saw Ning Sheng's worries, and said with a smile: "The contempt is not far away, and there is a street corner that is crossed, and there are soldiers patrolling the mouth of the killing hu, and it will not be in the way." ”
Having said this, Ning Sheng thought that it was all the help of the person in front of him to be able to enter the customs today, and he made a special trip to invite him, and nodded and agreed.
Called two guards to accompany him, Ning Sheng walked out of the inn after following Liu's body, the street was empty, a gust of wind blew, the red lantern flickered, and Liu Rui hurriedly pressed it with his hand. A group of five people turned two street corners, and De Xiangkui was in front of them, and two red lacquered doors were open, as if to welcome distinguished guests.
"Please!" Liu Quan stretched out his hand to signal.
Now he was very glad that he had rushed back to the business as soon as he had finished the Spring Festival, and was waiting for this mysterious caravan when the merchants in Hukou were closed. Liu Quan knew that it was a bit rude to visit late at night, but he couldn't wait, and after sending the caravan into the inn and returning to the business during the day, he was restless.
After half a year, another caravan stepped into the mouth of killing, no matter who was behind it, it meant that this trade route was open again. If the owners of the various firms know the news, they may want to fly back to kill Hukou, Dexiangkui can only be regarded as a second-rate business in killing Hukou, and his only advantage is that he is one step ahead of others.
"The Chahars reopened the city of naturalization? The Tumuts formed caravans on their own? Or the hand of a horse thief? Liu Quan's mind was full of questions, and the answer was on Ning Sheng in front of him.
Ning Sheng raised his feet and stepped up the steps, and after everyone entered the door, the man hurriedly closed the door, and the wind outside was blowing.
The two walked into the inner room side by side, Liu Quan took off his coat outside, and a hot stove burned in the house, warming into spring.
"Tea!"
The two servants quickly brought two blue and white porcelain teacups, and Ning Sheng took them carefully.
Liu Quan has been secretly observing Ning Sheng since they met, this person doesn't look like a person who can take charge of things, he is cautious in dealing with people, and he has never seen a big scene at first glance.
"If it weren't for the owner today, I'm afraid I really wouldn't be able to go back to Daming!" Ning Sheng was still sighing.
Liu Quan doesn't think so, the owners of those firms, no matter who encounters this matter, will not miss it, how can they be reluctant to do business. "I know that bandits outside Hukou are rampant, and it must be a lot of hard work for the caravan to return to Daming!" He knocked on the side, trying to find out the details of the caravan.
Ning Sheng calmed down, remembered Zhai Zhe's instructions before leaving, and said, "The horse thief doesn't dare to attack the idea of our caravan. ”
"Oh, why?" Liu Quan's ears pricked up.
Ning Sheng laughed dryly a few times and said, "The owner only needs to know this!" This is just the first caravan, and I hope to cooperate with the owner in the future. ”
Liu Quan's appetite was completely suspended, but no matter how he asked later, Ning Sheng strictly followed Zhai Zhe's orders, kept his mouth tight, and didn't dare to say a word.
The night was getting deeper and deeper, and Liu Quanjian couldn't ask anything famous, for fear that he would be bored by Ning Sheng for too long, and said, "In this way, I will send Brother Ning back first, and we will talk about cooperation tomorrow!" ”
Ning Sheng got up and revealed: "In a few days, our owner will come to kill Hu Kou, and then the Liu owner can meet with him, and our owner means that whichever firm can provide food will cooperate with whichever one." ”
This is what Zhai Zhe asked Ning Sheng to tell the major merchants who killed Hukou, and now only Liu Quan is looking for him, and Ning Sheng pushed away to do a personal favor.
"Thank you Brother Ning for reminding me, if your host arrives, please recommend Brother Ning!"
Then the two went out, and Liu Rui followed Liu Quan to send Ning Sheng back to the inn.
"Grain and grass!" Liu Quan whispered on the way back, if it was half a year ago, it would be easy to transport grain and grass out of the jam, but now no business dares to take this risk. Kill Hukou belongs to Datong Town, not as strict as Xuanfu adjacent to the capital, but it also belongs to Xuanda Military Town. The governor of Xuanda was removed due to the rebellion of his own country, and the successor governor Zhang Zongheng was originally the governor of Datong, and he was very familiar with the military forts along the border, and it was impossible to transport grain and grass out of the jam in a short period of time without spending a lot of money.
Early the next morning, Ningsheng \u7ed
136b
9 Invitations were sent out by the merchants, and the lobby of the inn was turned into a makeshift little bazaar, selling all kinds of furs.
There was no caravan entrance for half a year, and the price of fur in the grassland skyrocketed, which was very different from Ning Sheng's estimate. Although the guys worked together to lower the price, the amount of the transaction also made Ning Sheng dumbfounded.
One morning, more than half of the furs visited in the inn were sold.
At noon, Liu Quan came to the inn with a Humpty Dumpty man, and Ning Sheng took time out to greet him.
Liu Quan beckoned, pointed to the Humpty Dumpty behind him and said, "This is the shopkeeper of the king in my business, and we have all the rest of the goods!" ”
The audience was in an uproar, and some people were unconvinced and said: "Liu Shaodong, why do you say that it is all-inclusive, these are all scarce goods." ”
Liu Quan smiled: "You will pay that price for scarce goods?" With such a good amount of money, of course I want to do it all! He wanted to sell his favor to Ning Sheng, but it was not good to raise the price too much, which would cause conflicts with other firms, so he came over in the afternoon to come to such a song.
The shopkeeper Wang participated in the bidding according to Liu Quan's instructions, and one family broke the rules, and each family was afraid that the good supply would be bought, and the price of fur was rising.
When it was time to unite, all the furs were sold out, and Ning Sheng's goods that Ning Sheng estimated at more than 30,000 taels of silver were sold for nearly 50,000 taels of silver, and the cash silver received was also nearly 20,000 taels.
The bulk goods transactions between the Hukou firms were not entirely cash. Many caravans from the south to Daming and caravans from the south to the Ming Dynasty have completed the exchange of goods here, as long as the guys agree on the valuation. When Ning Sheng's caravan returned, it also had to bring with it the tea and salt needed by the Tumuts, and these furs were borrowed on credit from the herdsmen by the princess of Ulan.
Late at night, Ning Sheng held the silver box in his room and didn't fall asleep all night. One will get up and look at the silver ingot, and the other will rub the silver ticket, in this life, maybe plus the previous life, Ning Sheng has never seen so much money.
"What if I run away with all this money?" Ning Sheng was taken aback by his sudden thought. The caravan had more than a dozen guards, could these people be the eyeliner of horse thieves?
Lying on the bed, the days of dying and struggling in the mountains and forests for half a year flashed in front of him, Ning Sheng suddenly reached out and slapped his mouth, scolding: "Am I still human?" "If it weren't for those people, he would have froze to death.
