Chapter 077
The next day, Duan Fei came to Yangzhou again, and Huang Fatzi's words touched him deeply, and there is a good saying: gold in troubled times, jewelry in prosperous times! When the world is in turmoil, jewelry can not be directly traded as currency, if the jewelry worth millions is hit and pressed when fleeing, it is worthless, but gold is not crushed, and it is difficult to counterfeit, and it can be used directly anywhere, so every time there is a war, the value of jewelry will fall sharply, and you can make the greatest profit if you can see the situation and hoard a sum.
Duan Fei didn't want to make a lot of money, but he bought some jewelry when it was cheap, and if he needed to get through the tricks in the future, he could use it, at least he wouldn't be so distressed when he sent it out, he bought it at a jumping price.
Shanshui Pavilion, still in that position, as soon as Duan Fei sat down, the yellow fat man came out, Duan Fei didn't even look at him, and asked Xiao Er for a cage of steamed buns.
Huang Fat Man knocked on the side to find out Duan Fei's origin, Duan Fei didn't pay attention to him, and finally Huang Fat Man closed his mouth in a sneer, and after he was full, Duan Fei stood up and left, never saying a word to him, but Huang Fat Man obediently followed behind.
The shopkeeper Zhang was worried about the door, and when he saw Duan Fei, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and he greeted him with a smile, and arched his hand: "Duan Gongzi, I haven't seen you for a long time, do you want to order something today?" ”
Huang Fatzi knew the shopkeeper Zhang, seeing that he was so polite and familiar with this mysterious Duan Gongzi, and besides, people who generally need to customize jewelry are either rich or expensive, and Huang Fatzi was even more surprised in his heart.
Duan Fei nodded at the old shopkeeper and said with a smile: "I want to make something order-made today, and I want to buy a batch of jewelry, and I also plan to talk about a business with you Bao Daxiang, let's take a look at the jewelry first, and I want to talk to Master Zhou after I am done." ”
"No problem, Master Zhou has been idle for the past two days, and the day before yesterday was still talking about you, is there any novelty......" Shopkeeper Zhang suddenly saw the yellow fat man hiding behind Duan Fei, his eyes suddenly burst out, and then froze, and after a while, he shouted: "Come on, quickly beat this scoundrel out for me!" ”
The fat man stiffened his neck and said, "Shopkeeper Zhang, it was this Duan Gongzi who invited me here, otherwise I wouldn't want to step into this threshold!" ”
Shopkeeper Zhang was stunned for a moment, Duan Fei glanced at the two of them in surprise, and said, "Huang Fatzi, you used to do it in Baodaxiang?" Why didn't you say it earlier? Shopkeeper Zhang, he was indeed brought by me, I don't know much about jewelry, ask him to help me check it, there's no problem, right? ”
Shopkeeper Zhang hurriedly said: "It's okay, it's okay, Duan Gongzi, please ......"
Shopkeeper Zhang took Duan Fei and Huang Fatzi to the private room and asked, "Duan Gongzi, what style of jewelry do you want to buy?" What is the approximate price? Is it for personal use or as a gift? ”
Duan Fei replied: "I plan to use it to give it away, from a few hundred taels to a few thousand taels of jewelry, I will pick some delicate ones and take a look, and it will cost tens of thousands of taels of silver today......
"Ah......" Huang Fat Man suddenly felt pain, Shopkeeper Zhang didn't have the heart to watch him play treasure, finally a big business came to the door, how Duan Fei was overstretched last time and now he was carrying a huge amount of money, he couldn't take any guess, he happily called for tea, good tea, and then turned around and went to the warehouse.
After a while, several exquisite boxes were placed in front of Duan Fei, and the boxes contained pieces of jewelry, starting from three hundred taels, and the most expensive was a sandalwood bead chain with a price of twelve thousand taels of silver.
"Shopkeeper Zhang, these jewels can be regarded as very exquisite, and the price is fair, but ......" Huang Fat Man began to play his value, he talked eloquently: "Half a month ago, I am afraid that these jewels were at least more than forty percent more expensive, right?" Why is it falling so much now? Shopkeeper Zhang, Bao Daxiang hasn't done big business for some days, right? According to the current situation, I don't know how long the war will last! ”
Shopkeeper Zhang was kind to Duan Fei, but when he turned to face the fat man, his face was black, and he said hatefully: "What do you want to say?" If it weren't for Duan Gongzi's face, I would have ordered someone to beat you out with a stick! ”
Huang Fat Man stood up, waved his hand and said: "No, no, no, I'm speaking for Duan Gongzi, shopkeeper Zhang, you have to pay attention, do business, pay attention to your affection and my willingness, if Shopkeeper Zhang still feels wrong after listening to my words, I will pat my ass and leave, I dare not accept Duan Gongzi's half a penny, if I think what I said is right...... In these jewels, the average price is reduced by two percent, and it will be sold to Duan Gongzi. ”
Shopkeeper Zhang took a deep breath and put on a fighting posture of listening to his ears, and the fat man picked up the chain of sandalwood beads and said casually: "Sandalwood beads are mostly produced in Nanyang, and such a large one flows into Daming through exploration trade every year at most two hundreds, the price...... According to the starting price at the end of last year, one should be about five hundred taels, each of these beads is muddy = round as one, obviously selected, even if it is six hundred taels of one, this string of sandalwood beads has a total of twenty-four pieces, take the meaning of the twenty-four solar terms, the cost of the beads alone will be 14,400 taels, if the brand of Bao Daxiang sells 30,000 taels on weekdays, it is not unusual, and now it is only sold 12,000 taels...... It seems that Bao Daxiang has lost a lot......"
The shopkeeper's face turned blue and explained, "Didn't you just say it? At such a time, the jewelry could not be sold at a price, and in order to recover the funds to cope with the situation, we had to reduce the price and dump the goods, even if we lost some money, there was no way. ”
"It's not that simple, is it?" The fat man turned a blind eye to the murderous gaze of the shopkeeper Zhang, he picked up a jade pendant again, and said with a smile: "The cost of this pendant should not be expensive, at most fifty taels of silver, look at this finely carved handwork...... It's not too expensive to sell for five hundred taels, and the craftsmanship is more valuable, but ...... Bao Daxiang's head office is opened in Yingtianfu, right? Seeing that Ying Tian was about to fight fiercely, I wonder if Master Yin, the proprietor of Bao Daxiang, had thought about the possibility of Ying Tian being captured......
"What do you want to say?" Duan Fei looked at the fat man Huang with a smile, and saw that he dragged out his voice at this moment, and interjected in a timely manner.
The fat man smiled and said, "I mean that Bao Daxiang should be in urgent need of a large number of silver taels recently, I don't know if I guessed right?" ”
The fat man approached the shopkeeper and said in a low voice: "As for the origin of those sandalwood beads, I don't need to reveal them, right?" The shopkeeper, the current situation is unclear, and the future price of jewelry is not easy to judge, right? I advise you to get rid of all the jewelry cheaply, and it's really real to hold gold and silver! ”
"You scoundrel!" Shopkeeper Zhang gritted his teeth and popped out a few words from his mouth: "The price just now will be reduced by one to five, and it can't be less." ”
"Deal!" Huang Fatzi slapped his two fat hands, turned to Duan Fei and said with a smile: "Duan Gongzi, the price has been negotiated, you can pick whatever you want, Bao Daxiang's jewelry is still good." ”
Under the sad gaze of the shopkeeper Zhang, Duan Fei selected more than 100 kinds of jewelry, including the string of valuable sandalwood beads.
Estimating that even if he wanted to use silver all the way to open the way, it would be enough to bribe dozens of high-ranking officials, Duan Fei finally stopped, the silver that fell from the sky was not distressed, and the jewelry he selected recorded thirty-five pieces of jewelry below one thousand taels, twenty-four pieces of jewelry from one thousand taels to five thousand taels, and three pieces of jewelry with more than five thousand taels, including the string of sandalwood beads, with a total value of more than 100,000 taels.
Duan Fei doesn't understand jewelry, but his vision comes from hundreds of years later, picking things is absolutely fashionable and novel, seeing the jewelry he picked out, Huang Fat Man nodded again and again, and Shopkeeper Zhang couldn't help but sigh: "This Duan Gongzi is also a master......"
Duan Fei handed a silver ticket of 1,000 taels to Huang Fatzi, who kissed the silver ticket with a smile, knowing that it was time to get out of his hands when his business was done, and was about to turn around and leave, but heard Duan Fei say: "Huang Fatty, what is your full name?" Where do you hang out on weekdays? ”
Huang Fatzi's heart moved, and he said, "Duan Gongzi, is there still a place to use villains?" The villain's name is Huang Suliang, a simple Su, a good good, although the reputation is not good, the little one is actually an honest man, that is, he is clever when doing business, and he is often bullied. ”
Duan Fei said with a smile: "Huang Suliang, Huang Suliang, your name is difficult for people to hear and not misunderstand, okay, I remember you, if there is still something to worry about you when I go back, I will naturally go to you, you can do it yourself." ”
Huang Suliang arched his hand to him, turned around and retreated, the shopkeeper Zhang was still gritting his teeth just now, and when he went out and came back, he was already smiling, and he said to Duan Fei: "Duan Gongzi, Master Zhou has arrived." ”
