Bazhou "there are guests" wine shop is the most famous time-honored brand in Bazhou, the "Yipinxiang" wine brewed here is of first-class quality, famous in Daqi, all over the dignitaries and nobles have purchased all year round, in addition to the "one product" fragrant wine, "there are guests" unique dishes with color and fragrance, flavor, taste unique, it is more people who forget to return, can not be themselves.

After nightfall, Li Bin and Zhuo Junyan went to "have a guest" as promised.

After experiencing the jewelry store, Zhuo Junyan seems to be more enthusiastic about Li Bin, and the interaction between the two is more cordial and natural.

"Master Li, Master Ning has arrived, please come with the little one." A little second brother had sharp eyes, and after seeing Li Bin and Zhuo Junyan enter the wine shop, he immediately stepped forward and greeted him warmly. Ning Yi is also a regular customer of this store, and Li Bin and Zhuo Junyan are very outstanding in appearance and temperament, and they are also highly recognizable.

Although the shopkeeper came to an independent private room in the west wing on the second floor, Ning Yi got up and warmly welcomed Li Bin and Zhuo Junyan into the private room.

"President Ning, the business of this wine shop is really booming, and as soon as you arrive at the meal, it is already full." Along the way, Li Bin saw that the popularity of "There are guests" was not inferior to the largest and most luxurious "Shenghua Garden" in Beijing.

Ning Yi smiled: "Boss Li is the first to come to Bazhou, right?" The store is a household name in Bazhou, and even dignitaries from all over Daqi come to Bazhou from time to time, just to taste the wine and food of "Guest". ”

"Oh? What else does this say? Please ask you, the host, President Ning, to clear up my doubts. ”

"The brewing technique of this shop is unique, and the mellow aroma of 'Yipinxiang' is timeless, making people have an endless aftertaste. And the chefs who come to the restaurant have a unique cooking style. The dishes are not only full of color and flavor, but also very local characteristics of our Bazhou. Absolutely unique, the two of them must taste it later. Ning Yi explained.

"President Ning. I've always been curious, how much does Bazhou silk produce in a year? How much does it cost? After Li Bin sat down, he went straight to the theme of tonight and said.

"Master Li, I won't hide it from you, Bazhou silk satin is divided into several categories according to quality, and the output and price of each type of silk and satin are different."

"I want to hear about it." Li Bin did not come to the banquet tonight to eat and drink, but to find out the situation of the silk industry in Bazhou, and to win the big fat meat of Bazhou silk, so as to add goods to the ocean trade of Futumen.

In the past, some silk cloth was also used in the ocean-going trade goods of Futumen, but these were purchased from merchants and chambers of commerce from all over the world. I don't know how many hands have been poured by others, the price is not ideal, and the quality of the goods cannot be guaranteed.

"The largest output of silk in Bazhou is second-class silk, the most common are crepe de chine silk and jacquard satin, the output of these two kinds of silk can produce 600,000 horses a year in Bazhou alone, and the market price of each horse is currently five taels to eight taels of silver. In addition to the production of first-class silk in Bazhou, it can also be produced in the royal weaving workshop in Beijing, and the output is generally not high. The output of first-class silk Bazhou is only 10,000 to 20,000 horses a year, and there are even fewer royal weaving mills in Beijing. There are only about 5,000 horses. The price of a first-class silk horse is currently 12 taels to 20 taels of silver. In addition to satin, Bazhou also produces some ordinary silk weaving cloth, compared with silk weaving cloth in other places, the quality of our Bazhou is second to none. Ning Yi gushed out. The tone is still quite confident and proud.

Li Bin silently estimated the production and price of silk in Bazhou in his heart, if he wanted to eat all the first-class and second-class silk in Bazhou, he would have to spend about five million taels a year just for procurement. Although the overseas trade of Futumun is currently running well, the sales are good. But the silk business of five million taels of silver is definitely a big business for Futumen. This can be seen from the stunned look of surprise on Zhuo Junyan, who was sitting next to Li Bin.

After Ning Yi introduced the recent situation of the silk industry in Bazhou, Li Bin didn't have time to express his position, and suddenly, the door of the private room was roughly kicked open.

"President Ning, you're too inauthentic, aren't you? I didn't give the silk ordered by our Lingyun Pavilion, but I secretly came here to negotiate new business with others. A tall man walked in with his hands behind his back and swaggering.

Li Bin turned around and saw that the person who kicked in the door was none other than Duan Chun from Lingyun Pavilion.

"Duan Chun, you Lingyun Pavilion don't pay attention to the rules in doing business, just pick up the goods and don't pay for the goods, this business can't be done!" Ning Yi was slightly resentful, got up and responded.

In the face of Ning Yi's accusation, Duan Chunpi smiled and said, "President Ning, if you say that, you have wronged us, when did our Lingyun Pavilion do business without giving money?" ”

"Last year, Lingyun Pavilion purchased 10,000 first-class silk horses, and the payment for 200,000 taels of silver has not been paid off after a year, isn't it bullying people for you Lingyun Pavilion to do this business?"

Hearing this, Li Bin roughly figured out the business contradictions and entanglements between Lingyun Pavilion and Ning Yi, which was completely caused by the deliberate arrears of the payment on the side of Lingyun Pavilion, to put it bluntly, he wanted to take the goods for nothing and not give money. A typical bullying and hegemony by force.

When Duan Chun saw that the person who was talking about business with Ning Yi was Li Bin, he was also stunned for a moment, but then he reverted to his old ways, and continued to pressure Ning Yi and said: "President Ning, the 20,000 first-class Bazhou silk ordered by Lingyun Pavilion this year, I hope that President Ning urges his subordinates to ship it quickly, if it is delayed for a long time, it will make our pavilion master unhappy, President Ning, brother and I will not have a good life at that time, you and these silk workshop craftsmen in Bazhou also want to have a good life!" Duan Chun said viciously.

Ning Yi was emotional and said angrily: "You...... You are robbers! ”

"President Ning, Lingyun Pavilion gives money for business, but for various reasons, it is a year or two late."

"Duan Chun, you said it lightly, pay for the goods one or two years late, may I ask what the ordinary silkworm farmers and workshop craftsmen do to live?" Li Bin couldn't listen to it anymore, and got up and scolded Duan Chundao.

"What's the matter with you!? This is a matter between Lingyun Pavilion and the Bazhou Silk Guild, what kind of heart are you an outsider fooling around? Duan Chun said directly, looking quite arrogant.

Duan Chun knew that Li Bin had the title of the head of the six provinces in the south of Great Qi, but at present, Lingyun Pavilion and his vital interests were involved, and there was no way to retreat, so Duan Chun had to fight to the end.

"President Ning is my business partner now, and his affairs are naturally related to me!" Li Bin took all the things on himself, and if he didn't solve the business of Lingyun Pavilion, a local snake who bullied and dominated the market, and Bazhou silk, Li Bin thought it would be difficult to succeed.
