Wang Kunjun's answer made Feng Cheng suddenly come to his senses, he leaned in the direction of Wang Kunjun, and asked, "Oh! I don't know what deal Boss Wang plans to talk about with Feng? ”

Wang Kunjun didn't answer immediately, but motioned for Fan Wucheng to take a wooden box he was carrying with him and put it on the table between him and Feng Cheng. Then, Wang Kunjun opened the wooden box with his own hands, pointed to the contents inside, and said, "Manager Feng, please see, this is the deal I want to negotiate with Manager Feng." ”

Feng Cheng leaned over and looked into the box, and saw that there were two beautifully shaped cups inside, reflecting a soft light under the candlelight. At first glance, Feng Cheng felt that these two were just glasses, and in order to verify his judgment, he picked up one of them and observed it carefully.

Although it was night, by the candlelight, Feng Cheng could still see that the cup was indeed made of glass. It's just that compared to the two wine glasses he auctioned for Xiao Siwen last time, the degree of delicacy is slightly worse, and unlike the two completely colorless and transparent glasses last time, although this cup is also transparent, it has a faint green. Judging from Feng Cheng's judgment criteria, these two cups are a little worse than the two last time. However, despite this, it is also a fine glass that can be seen in Middle-earth.

Feng Cheng held the cup and looked at it for a long time before carefully putting it back into the box, then suppressed the excitement of imminent acquisition of a huge fortune, tried to maintain a calm expression on his face, and asked, "Boss Wang, where did these two glasses come from, could it be that the maritime merchant you said at the beginning has returned to Middle-earth?" ”

Wang Kunjun nodded and said, "Manager Feng expected that these two glasses were two of the glassware sent by the maritime merchant surnamed Wu. ”

Feng Cheng heard that it was indeed a maritime merchant surnamed Wu who had returned, and from Wang Kunjun's words, he could hear that the maritime merchant had brought back a lot of glassware this time, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked: "I don't know where this Boss Wu is now, how many glassware did he bring back this time?" ”

Wang Kunjun replied: "This Boss Wu has brought a total of more than 100 pieces of glassware to Zai Xia this time. It's just that it was not Boss Wu himself who came to deliver the goods this time, but several of his henchmen and associates. As for where Boss Wu himself is, the person who delivered the goods did not say, so it is unknown below. ”

Feng Cheng was disappointed by Wang Kunjun's answer, and he even suspected that Wang Kunjun deliberately concealed the whereabouts of this Boss Wu so that he could monopolize the supply of glassware and thus make most of the profits in the cooperation between the two sides. So, he deliberately asked: "With such valuable goods, this Boss Wu is so relieved to let his subordinates deliver them?" Isn't he afraid that these subordinates will abscond with money halfway? ”

Wang Kunjun naturally understood the true purpose of Feng Cheng's question, and immediately said: "What Manager Feng said is very true, and he also thought so at that time. In order to find out the reason, I tried my best to knock on the shopkeepers and guys who delivered the goods, and even bought one of them at the expense of a lot of money, and finally learned some inside information.

According to the guy who was bought, after Boss Wu came back from overseas this time, his behavior was a little strange. In the past, after he returned to Middle-earth, he always sailed in the order of Jiangnan, Central Plains, and Liao, and did business with his business partners in various places. But this time it was different, he gave up Jiangnan and landed directly in the eastern part of the Zhou Kingdom. Then he gathered together his shopkeeper and his associates, saying that he would henceforth switch to a land-based business. Except for a few henchmen who were sent to deliver the goods, everyone else was sent home. And the reason why Boss Wu dared to send a few henchmen to deliver goods was based on the loyalty of these people to him on weekdays, and they were able to monitor each other. The second is that because of where their family is, Boss Wu knows it clearly, even if they run away halfway, they can run away from the monk and can't run the temple, Boss Wu can find them at any time. In this way, they naturally do not dare to do anything from it. ”

Feng Cheng listened to Wang Kunjun's explanation, although he was still a little skeptical, but his mind had already turned to Boss Wu's sudden abandonment of the sea and land this time. He asked with some concern: "According to what Boss Wang said, this Boss Wu no longer goes to sea, so won't our glass business become a tree without roots and water without a source, and we have to close down after selling all these inventories in our hands?" ”

Feng Cheng's reaction was expected by Wang Kunjun, and he immediately explained according to the words he had thought about in advance: "When I first heard the news, I also had the same idea as the manager, thinking that the glass business would be interrupted. However, it turned out that things were not so simple. Because, the person who delivered the goods had told Boss Wu that he did not have to worry about the supply of goods, and there would be absolutely no problem with the supply of glassware in the future. ,

Later, through the description of the guy who was bought, I felt that the reason why Boss Wu abandoned the sea and land was precisely because of this glassware. According to him, after Boss Wu arrived in an overseas country this time, he traveled around, spent a lot of money, and tried every means to contact the country's officials and craftsmen, as if he wanted to find out some important news. As a result, the effort paid off, and Zuihou really let him get what he wanted. Subsequently, Boss Wu sold all kinds of goods that had been trafficked in the past at a very low price, and led the fleet back to Middle-earth.

Although this guy didn't know what Boss Wu had gotten, it was inferred from Boss Wu's assurance that there would be no problems with the supply of glassware, and there was a bold guess that this Boss Wu had already obtained the manufacturing method of glassware, so he abandoned the sea and land, and was ready to make money by mastering this craft. After all, the glass business is lucrative and far safer than going to sea to do business. ”

Wang Kunjun's rhetoric is that he discussed with Fan Wucheng and others before coming to see Feng Cheng, in order to solve the questions that Feng Cheng may have about the source of the goods after the output of glass products increases in the future.

Although Wang Kunjun's repeated explanations made Feng Cheng's suspicions less a lot, Feng Cheng did not fully believe it. He stared at Wang Kunjun with his eyes for a long time, and saw that Wang Kunjun's face was calm and calm, and there was no sign of weakness, so he gradually put away his doubts and said, "I see." It seems that this Boss Wu is not only a shrewd businessman, but also a very decisive figure. When I met such an owner, I really don't know if the people who ran errands for Boss Wu were lucky or unlucky. I wonder if these delivery people are still local? If there is a chance, Feng would like to talk to them. ”

Wang Kunjun replied: "This Boss Wu is a person who has been running around at sea all the year round, and he is used to seeing things where life and death hang by a thread, so he should have taken his life seriously a long time ago." A person who doesn't take his own life seriously, and it is not a big deal to take the family of his subordinates as a hostage. As for the subordinates who ran errands for Boss Wu, they are still living in Xia's mansion, and they will not leave until they get the payment. If the governor wants to see them, he can arrange for them to come to Youzhou City immediately. ”

Feng Cheng said that meeting with Boss Wu's subordinates was just a strategy to test Wang Kunjun, and he didn't really want to meet these people. In his opinion, it is very dishonorable to talk face-to-face with such domestic servants and buddies. Therefore, when he heard Wang Kunjun say that those people are still in Liangxiang and can come to Youzhou City at any time, he is not interested in meeting them. So, he waved his hand and said, "There is no urgency. If it is really as Boss Wang said, this Boss Wu has learned the craft of making glass, then we will inevitably cooperate with him for a long time in the future, and these guys will naturally have the opportunity to meet. ”

Speaking of this, Feng Cheng couldn't help sighing, and said with some regret: "It's a pity, this Boss Wu is from Zhou State, and the place where he made glass must also be in Zhou State, so we can't reach it." Otherwise, we can 'learn' this craft, and we can make our own things and sell them ourselves, wouldn't we make more money. ”

After speaking, Feng Cheng picked up the glass in the box again and asked, "Since they have brought more than a hundred glassware this time, I don't know if they are all the same color as these two cups, or are they high and low?" ”

Wang Kunjun thought that he was dissatisfied with the quality of the goods, and hurriedly explained: "Because of the large number of glassware brought back by Boss Wu this time, the quality of these two cups is also uneven. Moreover, there are only a relatively small number of objects in this batch of goods. If Mr. Feng needs to be as good as the cups in the last auction, I'm afraid he will be disappointed. After all, even in the place where they were produced, those artifacts last time can be called superb. If it weren't for Boss Wu's heavy bribe of local officials at that time, it would have been impossible to buy it at all. Even if you can buy it, you can't bring it out. ”

It's just that what makes Wang Kunjun a little puzzled is that Feng Cheng listened to his explanation, not only did he not have any dissatisfaction, but on the contrary, his face showed a relaxed expression. I heard Feng Cheng say: "Boss Wang doesn't have to worry, Feng is very satisfied with the fineness of this batch of glassware." To be honest, if the condition of this batch of goods is like the batch of treasure-level glassware in the last auction, Feng will be worried. ”

Wang Kunjun asked, "Why is this?" ”

Feng Cheng replied: "Boss Wang doesn't know, after Feng bought those glass treasures back last time, the left-behind adults were very satisfied. However, because these treasures are so precious, they are by no means something that ordinary people can enjoy. Therefore, the left-behind adults did not dare to use it themselves, but presented it as a gift to the current saint. When the saint saw these treasures, he liked them very much, and often played with them in his hands, and he would use a glass wine glass every time he drank alcohol. Seeing this, the ministers of the court echoed one after another, saying that such a rare treasure could only be enjoyed by the saints today. When the Holy Lord heard this, he was very happy in his heart, and naturally praised the left-behind adults and gave him a lot of money. ,

The problem is that all of this is based on the fact that those few glass treasures are rare and precious things in the world, and no one else in my territory may have them. If many of the glassware brought back by Boss Wu this time are in the same condition as last time, then those treasures last time will not be rare in the world anyway. Once this news reaches the ears of the saint, the consequences of Feng Mou and Boss Wang should be imaginable. ”

Feng Cheng's explanation made Wang Kunjun immediately understand the reason, knowing that the other party was afraid that the other party was afraid that the things that would be given to the emperor of Liao as a rare treasure were found to be ordinary objects, which caused the emperor's dissatisfaction, so he blamed Xiao Siwen. So, Wang Kunjun patted his chest and assured Feng Cheng: "Although Manager Feng can rest assured about this, he can guarantee that in the future, there will never be glassware of the same color as those treasures last time in Liaoguo." ”

When Feng Cheng heard this, his heart was at peace. He didn't find out that Wang Kunjun was in this sentence. Wang Kunjun only guaranteed that there were no glass products of this grade in Liao, but did not guarantee that similar things would not appear in other places, which was equivalent to leaving a lot of room for the future development of his side.

Because Wang Kunjun knows very well that although the glass products produced by Liu Wendong are still very rough and cannot be compared with the products of the previous life, this does not mean that they can only produce this kind of primary glass products in the future. With the maturity of the process and jishu, it is not impossible to produce completely colorless and transparent glass. Moreover, in the jihua submitted by Liu Wendong, the production of such simple glass products is only the first step, and in the future, when the conditions are ripe, all kinds of glass products will come into being, and even the research and development and production of glass mirrors have been included in jihua. These things will certainly be more profitable than the current primary products, and if they are not sold, they will lose money.

Wang Kunjun now has enough leeway for his team, so when the new product is produced, they can sell it outside Liaoguo. Later Zhou, Southern Tang, Wuyue and other countries are very haode markets, where there are far more rich people than those in Liao, which is more suitable for the sale of luxury goods.

Feng Cheng didn't know that Wang Kunjun still had these little Jiujiu in his stomach, and for him, as long as there would be no glassware of the same or higher grade than the last treasure in Liaoguo, it was enough. Moreover, he believed that in the face of himself and Xiao Siwen behind him, he would give Wang Kunjun 10,000 guts, and he would not dare to play any tricks in this matter. Therefore, although he only received verbal assurances from Wang Kunjun, he was full of confidence. Now he has begun to focus on how to do a good job in the glass business. He spoke; "Boss Wang's character Feng is still trustworthy, and I believe that Boss Wang will not let Feng down. It's just that it is the first time for Feng to do glass business, and Boss Wang should be far more skilled than Feng in this regard. If Boss Wang already has a plan for this, he hopes to give him advice. ”

Hearing this, Wang Kunjun hurriedly said humbly: "Mr. Feng is too modest, and when it comes to doing business, he is far inferior. Although I participated in the auction of glass treasures last time, I just went to the scene to join in the fun, and the two sworn brothers - Fan Wucheng and Zhao Dawei who really presided over the auction were the next two sworn brothers. As for the glass business this time, it would be more appropriate for the two of them to negotiate with the manager. ”

As he spoke, Wang Kunjun pointed to Fan Wucheng and Zhao Dawei, who were sitting below him, and officially introduced them to Feng Cheng.
