Chapter 116: Throwing bricks and leading the way
As soon as these words came out, the shopkeeper of the Wang family suddenly lost his confidence, who made the goods in his hands unique.
"Mrs. Gu must appreciate the light, and she will definitely give your Li family firm a satisfactory price when the time comes."
Su Fu smiled slightly, "It's hard to resist hospitality, and when the time comes, our husband and wife will definitely go to the banquet on time." ”
Not to mention how Su Fu was left and right in the two trading houses, the shopkeepers of the two houses were in a hurry to inform their masters.
Generally, the big shopkeeper of the warehouse is his own generation, and his status in the family is not low, and he has a great decision-making power.
Their vision and ability are also the best in the family, and the two owners will naturally not question it.
But it's hard to believe that something as outrageous as opening up the trade road is.
"Brother Yu Ming, how much credibility do you think this matter has?"
At this time, the two owners were discussing together, and it was the head of the Feng family, Feng Yutao, who spoke.
"Although this thing sounds a little strange, it is not completely impossible, although the Li family has never been in contact with it before, it is not expected to tease us for no reason."
Wang Yuming's opinion is that he would rather believe it than let go of a trace of business opportunities.
"Well, instead of speculating here, let's go and meet this Mrs. Gu for a while and see what she has to say."
There is a strong business atmosphere in Yuezhou, and the constraints on women are much looser than in the Central Plains, and it is not uncommon for women to come out to discuss business.
Zuiyue Tower is very famous in Hengzhou, the four-storey exquisite pavilion is gorgeous and beautiful, and you can see it from afar.
Su Fu and Li Er deliberately stepped over, and the big shopkeepers of the two families hurriedly welcomed them into the distinguished guest room on the fourth floor.
There were no outsiders inside, only two middle-aged men, one of whom was in his forties, mature and capable.
The other man was in his early thirties, dressed in a blue scribe's shirt, with a white face, and looked like an elegant scholar.
After a while of greetings and introductions, Su Fu learned that the mature man was Wang Yuming, the owner of the Wang family, and the one who looked like a scholar was Feng Yutao, the owner of the Feng family.
After taking a seat, the shopkeeper of the Wang family handed over the menu and asked Su Fu to order.
Smiling slightly, Su Fu handed the menu to Li Er, in terms of eating, drinking and having fun, Li Er was much better than her.
After all, he was also the son of a family in the capital back then, and he had to put up a shelf, and in such a small place, there were few people who could compare.
Sure enough, Li Er glanced at the menu, frowned slightly, and ordered a few dishes casually.
Su Fu didn't look at it, and handed the menu to Zhou Chuanfu behind him, who then forwarded it to the Wang family's shopkeeper.
Wang Yuming took it and looked at it, but saw that Li Er didn't order those expensive dishes that looked bells and whistles.
The dishes ordered are exquisite and suitable for the health of the season, and the prices are also moderate, so I suddenly have a number in my heart.
It seems that the other party's family background is good, and he is by no means comparable to the kind of nouveau riche.
Several people are masters in the business field, pushing cups and changing lamps, and the guests and hosts are happy, but none of them mention business matters.
This time, Su Fu looked very quiet, looking at her husband with a smile on the side, looking like a little woman.
It was Li Er who came forward to socialize, and I saw that he spoke decently, was full of fun, and his knowledge was also very rich.
This made the two big shopkeepers a little depressed, they had reported to the owner that the boss of the Li family was silent, but his wife was very shrewd.
Now it seems that they are all gone.
The two husbands and wives are both shrewd people, especially Li Er, who pretends to be a pig and eats a tiger, which is even more difficult to prevent.
Until the end of the dinner, no one mentioned a word about business, and the two owners asked a lot of questions. vp
It's a pity that Li Er is very slippery, not leaking, and has no useful information at all, but they all have a consensus.
This person who calls himself Li Erlang must not have a simple family background, and he is by no means comparable to ordinary people.
Seeing that the refreshments were almost used up after the meal, and it was time for everyone to get up and say goodbye any longer, the two owners glanced at each other.
It was Wang Yuming who asked, "I don't know how many pieces of fine linen can be provided by Li's firm every month?" ”
"Then let me take the liberty of asking, how much can you two swallow each month?"
Li Er did not answer the rhetorical question.
In the past few months, Sov has given him special training, so he has a clear eye when it comes to business.
"If you can supply it stably, we can eat this amount every month."
Wang Yuming stretched out a palm and shook it, Su Fu glanced at it, and sneered in his heart, knowing that the other party deliberately opened his mouth, if he had no confidence, it was easy to show cowardice.
"The sum of your two warehouses is only this number, which is really not much, but in this way, the cost of trafficking on my side will increase."
Li Er glanced at it lightly, and he didn't look concerned.
"As long as the quantity is enough, the price is easy to say."
The two proprietors exchanged glances, and the big shopkeeper of the Wang family stood up with a smile on his face.
"Although the trade routes on both sides are not smooth, the price is still roughly known, and ordinary linen is now only five cents of silver."
There was a deliberate pause to see how the two of them reacted.
Su Fu has only come back from Yuezhou to inspect the price, and the fine linen over there has indeed been falling in price, and the big shopkeeper is right.
Seeing that the two of them did not react, the big shopkeeper had no choice but to continue.
"If it's fine linen, the price is about eight cents today, and if you buy more, you may get less."
Before coming to Zuiyue Building, the two proprietors had already agreed on their opinions, and at this time, letting the big shopkeeper quote was to leave room for bargaining.
"I also know that it is not easy to ship it now, if we paid a maximum of nine points back then, it is not easy to think that the two can do business, so let's do it, one money and one money, how about it?"
There is a lot of verbosity, of course, in order to reduce prices, and everyone wants to make more money in business.
The second elder god Li picked up the tea bowl in front of him on the ground, and Su Fu smiled faintly.
"The accountant of the king is doing well, or the little woman will come to settle the account for you."
She just passed all the way from the capital to the south of the Yangtze River, so she naturally understands the market in these two places.
"Now the high-grade fine linen cloth in the south of the Yangtze River is two dollars and five horses, and it is even more expensive in Shangjing, and it costs three dollars and eighty-one horses."
While talking, he leisurely lowered his head and tasted two sips of tea, "Well, yes, it is the top grade hair tip of Chuzhou, clear but not light, and the aftertaste is endless." ”
Feng Yutao and Wang Yuming were shocked, they never expected that they were in Yuezhou, but they knew the market in various places well.
"The key is that there is no market for the price, and the supply over there has basically been cut off, and if anyone can supply exclusively at this time, I'm afraid the price is not easy to say."
As soon as these words came out, both of them felt slightly embarrassed, and their two shops were honest, but now they were slapped in the face on the spot.
Immediately, they were a little embarrassed, but in the end, Wang Yuming was older and had a spicy face, and immediately smiled casually.
"Just now, the big shopkeeper just threw bricks and stones, one dollar and eight dollars, how about it?"
Su Fu didn't answer, but turned to Feng Yutao, "Oh? What did Feng Dongjia say? ”
Both of them were human spirits, and it immediately became clear that Sov was not satisfied with the price.
Feng Yutao lowered his head and thought for a while, "Long-distance trafficking is expensive, and Madame must know it, why don't we take a step back and get two dollars and a horse, how about it?" ”
