Chapter 160: Meaning
The one who took the lead was a fat gentleman with a sleek face, a bulging belly, a purple sand pipe in his hand, and his two eyes narrowed into a slit, quite a smiling tiger's demeanor.
Then there were three members who should also be the caravan steward, but looking at the change in his demeanor, it can be guessed that the only one who can really be called a person should be the fat gentleman.
"Miss Su, I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you doing lately?"
Sure enough, the first person to greet was the fat gentleman, who held up his pipe slightly with a smile, but there was a bit of hidden contempt in his eyes.
He is the main speaker in this caravan, surnamed Sun, and is generally called Sun Steward.
A family in a small place like this, if it weren't for the request from above, he wouldn't have had much interest in coming over. After all, what good porcelain can be in such a place? Good porcelain in the eyes of these countrymen is nothing more than worthless gadgets in his eyes.
Su Wanmiao, who had been learning to deal with these businessmen since she was a child, could naturally see his careful thoughts, but she didn't say it directly, but her face was as usual, and she didn't show anything unusual.
After a few pretended polite greetings, Su Wanmiao saw that the other party was always slick and slick, not mentioning the real purpose of this meeting, she frowned slightly, and her eyes gestured to the people around her, the person nodded slightly, took the initiative to get up and proposed with a smile, "Steward Sun, it's not too early, if it is delayed any longer, I am afraid it will also affect your rest after a long journey, why don't we talk about the porcelain business now?" ”
"Oh?" The steward Sun squinted his eyes and glanced at the man, he didn't know what he was thinking with a smile, he nodded slowly for a long time and said, "It's okay, the porcelain samples you prepared will be brought up to me now, if it's really good, it's not like our Rongjia Porcelain Village can't help......"
Su Wanmiao nodded, looked behind her and said, "Lift up!" ”
Not long after the words fell, I saw several subordinates outside the door walking in step by step carrying four large boxes, and carefully and gently placed them on the ground, for fear of bumping into them.
Steward Sun waved his hand, and his subordinates took a few steps forward to open the box, and the porcelain pieces inside were neatly divided by straw before his eyes.
Steward Sun's eyes slowly swept over these boxes, at first they were all unfazed, until when he saw the last box, his eyes were slightly bright, and he couldn't help but take a few steps forward to look at it carefully, and even picked up a porcelain with his own hands and observed it in his hand, and then gently put it down for a long time.
"These porcelain...... Not bad. He took a puff of his pipe and sighed.
turned to look at Su Wanmiao, and there was a bit of playfulness in her eyes, "This kind of porcelain...... Is it also fired in your kiln? ”
Su Wanmiao's gaze also fell on the box of porcelain that had been treated specially, and in retrospect, it seemed that it was a batch of porcelain that had been particularly praised by Steward Lu, but the number was not very large.
She still doesn't know the true origin of these porcelains, but they are the finest porcelain fired by accident in her own kiln.
After all, this situation is not very rare, the weather, season, clay and fire when the porcelain is fired are very particular, maybe a coincidence will appear this kind of superb.
At this moment, it seemed that the other party seemed to take a fancy to these porcelain, and she was a little happy in her heart, and replied, "Naturally, yes." ”
"Hehe, what does Miss Su mean is that your kiln factory can be compared to the official kiln in our city?"
The steward Sun sneered twice as if he had heard a big joke.
"Official kiln?" Su Wanmiao was stunned for a moment.
"The color, quality, and delicacy of this kind of porcelain are definitely not coincidental, it is the best porcelain that requires decades of meticulous craftsmanship by real masters, and it is the official porcelain specially supplied to the royal family of the dynasty! Even if it's just an inferior product that has been discarded, how can it be made by coincidence in a small kiln factory like yours in the countryside? ”
He sneered like this, turned around and walked to the other three boxes of porcelain, casually picked up a vase and played with it in his hand, but his eyes were full of disdain, "I'm afraid this kind of porcelain is the real level of your kiln factory, to be honest, it is not worthy of those official porcelain shoes." ”
"If your family can really fire official porcelain, then our Rongjia Porcelain Village may have to be carried by you......"
With that, he threw it away, and threw the porcelain on the ground and instantly became a pile of worthless fragments.
"You!"
Her own house was said to be so unbearable, and the shopkeepers behind Su Wanmiao couldn't help but have a little anger in their eyes, and they almost wanted to stand up and fight for it, but they were stopped by Su Wanmiao's outstretched hand.
She took a deep breath, her face calm, and stared deeply at the Sun steward, she had already noticed a little strange in the other party's attitude.
If you really want to do business, how can you have such an attitude! Even if the quality of their own porcelain is average, it is impossible to use this almost provocative tone to devalue everything so worthless!
She had already guessed that what the other party wanted to say was not these things at all, but something else. Whether it's official porcelain or something else, it's just a means for the other party to draw out the following words.
She said in a deep voice, "Steward Sun, if you have anything to say, just say it, if you go on like this, I'm afraid you will only end up unhappy." ”
"Hehe, Miss Su is really a smart person."
Steward Sun slowly put down the pipe and gently knocked it on the table, his fat face trembling slightly with his smile with a slight meaning, "Then I'll say it directly." ”
"Miss Su, do you remember a son surnamed Fan? He asked the villain to bring you a word - if you change your mind, he can give you a chance. ”
"Fan Yilin?"
Su Wanmiao's face changed slightly, as if she didn't expect him to interfere in it.
"Since Miss Su, you still remember, it saves me a lot of reminding." Steward Sun squinted and smiled, "Similarly, for the sake of Fan Gongzi's face, as long as you agree to the request, you don't need to use those inferior official porcelains circulating on the market to support the scene." Even if it is those ordinary porcelain, our Rongjia Porcelain Village will definitely vigorously support the expansion of your Su family, and even if it is a business in the Fucheng at that time, it will be easy to win. ”
"If you don't agree, then I'm afraid there will be nothing to say today."
With that, he sat down on the stool and waited for the other to answer.
In his opinion, such an overwhelming choice is not necessary to think about it at all. If the Su family can enter the city, it will be an almost new world, and they can show their strength, who can resist such a temptation?
What's more, Su Wanmiao has been preparing for this business for a year, and the effort spent in it is almost immeasurable, and she is about to succeed, so she really wants to refuse when she is about to kick the door, is she really willing to do it?
