Chapter 28: Boss Liao from the capital
Tong Chuxue heard from Boss Cheng, the shopkeeper of Renshantang, that Liao Hong, a medicinal herb merchant from Beijing, lived in the medicinal materials business all the year round, had a vicious eye, and the standard for purchasing medicinal materials was extremely high, and he hated others to be shoddy.
I heard that someone had mixed half a bag of fake Tian Qi in a sack of Tian Qi, and after being discovered by Boss Liao, he immediately burned all the fires and found someone to break the other party's two legs.
Although Boss Liao is demanding, this person is also very refreshing to give silver, and he bids higher than the same quality medicinal materials on the market.
Tong Chuxue brought the news to Tong Shan, Tong Shan touched his beard, felt that the opportunity was rare, and let out the words, every household had dug up medicinal materials, brought things, and the village unified organization sent everyone to the town.
Not every family in the entire Qingshan Village knows herbal medicine, so there are not many people who really have goods to sell.
Lei Haizheng was a little hesitant when he got the news, such an extremely precious thing as dendrobium, if he took it out in front of the people in the village, especially in front of Tong Chuxue, in case he was charged with stealing, the risk would be too great.
According to reliable sources, Boss Liao in the capital will come to the town in three days, and he will only stay in the town for one day, and the time is tight, and he has no way to avoid the villagers and act alone.
It's okay, it's a big deal to wait for the villagers to leave before he sets off.
While Lei Hai was thinking, Tong Chuxue was cleaning up his own herbs.
Since learning the news, Tong Chuxue and the three brothers and sisters of the Luo family went to the mountains to dig up some herbs, although they are still not very valuable herbs, but for Tong Chuxue, who is in urgent need of money at this stage, even a penny more is good.
Early in the morning, Li Zheng was waiting for the people who went to the town at the entrance of the village, and villagers came over one after another, holding herbs similar to Tong Chuxue and the others in their hands.
Li Zheng counted the number of people, and the ox cart was almost full, so he decided not to wait any longer, jumped on the ox cart, and led a village of people to the town.
From the one-and-a-half-hour journey from Qingshan Village Road, everyone was bored and began to gossip.
"Alas, didn't that family say that they would come together today, why don't you see anyone?"
"You don't know, they have a donkey cart at home, so they must have gone by themselves."
"There is a car in the village, why do you still drive your own car, stupid."
"He's not stupid, their donkey cart has been chartered."
"No, who did it?"
"That kid from the Lei family spent thirty yuan to charter the car."
"Hey, the Lei family kid is rich, thirty bags for a car, he thinks he is the county master."
The women's discussion reached Tong Chuxue's ears, she only felt funny, but she didn't expect that this Lei Haizheng still knew that he had to avoid everyone's attention, and he was not hopelessly stupid.
However, this little cleverness is only afraid that it will soon be mistaken by cleverness.
When everyone in Qingshan Village arrived at the county seat, Boss Liao's stall had already been set up, and a one-person-high wooden sign could be seen from afar, with the three big characters of "Receiving Medicinal Materials" written in gold lacquer, and a person who looked like a housekeeper standing next to him.
There was a long queue in front of the stalls, and many people from several neighboring villages came, each with a big basket.
Tong Chuxue handed over the medicinal materials to Luo Huifeng and Luo Huiqing, and went with Luo Hui'an to find Boss Cheng of Renshantang.
This time they came to the town, selling herbs just by the way, Tong Chuxue wanted to do a business with this boss Liao. And the big proprietor behind Renshantang is this Boss Liao, Boss Cheng knows that Tong Chuxue has good goods in his hands, and he is willing to introduce them to them.
Boss Cheng took Tong Chuxue and Luo Hui'an around a gate and finally came to the courtyard where Boss Liao was resting.
Boss Cheng briefly explained his intention to the little guy guarding the door, and the little guy nodded and went in to report. After receiving a positive answer, the door was opened and let them in.
Tong Chuxue felt that this person must be very cunning when she saw this Boss Liao at first glance, and the appearance of the other party was that of an ordinary businessman, slightly middle-aged and fat, with a strong belly. But a pair of small eyes seem to hide countless emotions, and the face is not visible at all.
This kind of person, you don't know which of his sentences is true and which is false.
Boss Liao got up immediately when he saw someone coming in, and said loudly, "I've been hearing Lao Cheng mention the two of you to me, but I didn't expect to be so young, dare to ask what the two are called?" ”
"Boss Liao is so polite, just call me Tong Chuxue."
This Boss Liao's eyes were always biased towards Luo Hui'an's side before, and he probably thought that Luo Hui'an answered this question, but he didn't expect Tong Chuxue to speak first.
However, this little thing will not affect him anything, and soon he will focus his attention on Tong Chuxue, "It turned out to be Miss Tong, I heard that Miss Cheng Tong has a way to get Dendrobium officinale in her hands, but I will explain to the girl first, although Dendrobium is precious, it can be a single plant, and the price may not be too high." ”
Tong Chuxue knew in her heart that this Boss Liao was polite, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he directly bargained for the price, such a style, it is not a loss to mix in the mall all year round. If it were a real mountain village woman standing here today, she would have sold it for dozens of taels of silver if she didn't get it right, but unfortunately she Tong Chuxue was not a stupid person.
"Since Boss Liao has no intention of talking to us about this business, it's better to forget it." Before Tong Chuxue could speak, Luo Hui'an's expression was grim and he took the lead in attacking.
Tong Chuxue also didn't expect the other party to suddenly speak, she was really a little surprised, but in front of Boss Liao, she couldn't show it too obviously, so she could only gently kick Luo Hui'an's foot under the table.
Feeling Tong Chuxue's uneasiness, Luo Hui'an smiled at the corner of his mouth, and his left hand under the table gently patted Tong Chuxue's right hand twice, which was a kind of secret comfort.
Immediately afterwards, Liao Hong seemed to be stunned for a moment, and quickly adjusted his tone, "But don't worry, my reputation as Liao is well-known in the capital." We can talk about business slowly. ”
With that, he picked up the teapot on the table and poured tea for them himself.
Successful businessmen even so, no matter when, can bend and stretch.
Liao Hong's attitude changed very quickly, but Luo Hui'an didn't buy it, "It's not a secret, the back mountain of Qingshan Village is producing dendrobium, Boss Liao has sufficient financial resources and full manpower, so you can find it by yourself, so we are still a little out of our power." ”
"Why do you have to talk like this, little brother, asking me to find someone to climb over the mountain from hill to mountain, it is too time-consuming and energy-consuming. Fang is I can't live with the two of you, so how about staying for a light meal at noon, I asked Lao Cheng to prepare the dishes first. Liao Hong was very polite.
"Boss Liao, we sincerely want to talk to you about this business, and I promise you that this business is not a temporary deal, but a long-term one." Tong Chuxue said to Liao Hong.
How can it be long-lasting, Tong Chuxue saw a trace of doubt in Liao Hong's eyes.
