Chapter 382: Black Market

Ming Yifu asked again: "Shi Ruoshan has said when he will meet you again?" ”

A contemptuous smile appeared on Ayaluo's lips: "He rented an inconspicuous house in the south of the city, and agreed to meet me there on the first and fifteenth days of each month. However, he also said that the newlywed was afraid of arousing suspicion, so he would not meet until Xiaoxue. ”

Ming Yi couldn't figure it out, and glanced at Xia Huanfeng.

Xia Huanfeng responded: "In a few days, the frost will fall, and it will take a month until the light snow." ”

"How's it going over there?" Mingyi is still a little jealous of that Yangzhou woman.

Ayaluo responded: "Although the dispute between her and Shi Niangzi is now under the pressure of Yin's mother, she still ignores each other in private. I don't intervene between the two of her, so my relationship with her is fine, and she often talks to me when she encounters something unexpected, no one to talk to. ”

"Does she know that you still have a connection with Shi Ruoshan?" Mingyi asked.

"My expenses here are paid regularly by Shi Ruoshan, although outsiders don't know, how can I hide it in Xinglu Courtyard. She tried it a few times, and I pretended that I couldn't hide it and told her. She just doesn't know where we have a private meeting. ”

"What's her attitude towards that?"

"She and I know each other, and I also admit frankly that I only have the heart of wealth for Shi Ruoshan. She told me not to take my heart lightly and encouraged me to do more good from him. ”

Mingyi took Ayaluo's hand: "I will wronged you for two more months, and when the time comes, I don't have to be false with him, and I will wait for the lord of the pavilion." ”

Ayara smiled lightly: "Wait for the good news of Mingyi." ”

Ming Yi said that he wanted to talk to Xia Huanfeng, that is, Feng Huan, about business matters, and was afraid that Aya Luo would find it boring, so he asked her to go back to her room to rest first. Ayara was interested, said that he was tired, and retired.

Xia Huanfeng sat wider, although he changed into men's clothes, he was used to having charming eyes: "Now there are only three of us, and Ming Yi also knows what kind of person I am and how you plan to do it, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

Ming Yi has long had this intention, if he doesn't tell lies in front of real people, why bend around. Let's talk about them one by one. First of all, there is the issue of the West Market business and the money lending business.

Let Chu Boyan learn to take care of the underground market in the West Market, Ming Yi had already said it on the table, and Xia Huanfeng had no opinion. He was only worried that Chu Boyan would not be able to suppress those merchants and black market merchants.

It was also the first time for him to explain in detail the details of the black market business in the West Market like Ming Yi.

"The black market business in the West Market, why I have been in the market for a long time, is because both sides of the transaction either do not want to see the light of day or are difficult to make a deal on their own.

Relatively speaking, the Hu merchants are the best to send, they are just shrewd and greedy, most of the goods are transported by their own caravans, the cost is too high, some are on a lot of camels and human lives, and it takes a long time, must be sold at a high price. But their ability to find buyers on their own is too poor, and they need to find a middleman with connections to get the desired benefits as soon as possible.

You can understand this, right? How many people will take real money to buy goods in Hu Shang's store? First, it is difficult to distinguish the authenticity and quality of those gemstones, and there is no one to guarantee it. Second, how much money can be seen? The rich people in the west of the city don't like to show their wealth, and they don't want the seller to know their identity, and their lives are in danger if their net worth is exposed. The nobles in the east of the city did not dare to show their wealth, and the money was all corrupted and perverted, and they wanted to exchange it for a good collection of gems, but they could not come forward themselves. Therefore, these people are more willing to look for me, Han people with a good reputation, and a gate to guarantee here. These buyers are all wealthy people I met in Rongyi Fang, and then introduced each other.

Over time, as long as the merchant has expensive goods in his hands, it is almost impossible to sell them without passing through me. ”

Ming Yi frowned and said, "This business is indeed not something that Bo Yan can grasp in a short period of time. First, your reputation is the core of this business, and it is almost impossible to complete it without you as a guarantee. Second, he needs to learn to identify the product, verify the price, and build trust among your buyers. ”

"Yes, it's not easy, but as long as I'm willing to teach and he's willing to learn, it's only a matter of time. I introduced him to one guest after another, Boyan is a child who can be trusted at a glance, but he is less sophisticated and steady, which can be grinded. Xia Huanfeng analyzed.

With that, he continued to introduce the black market business.

"These businessmen are easy to do, but they are not the most profitable. The most profitable ones are the real black goods, that is, the goods taken out by the seller who can't show up.

Part of it is thieves, you also know that it is not peaceful everywhere now, leaving Chang'an, no matter where you go, as long as there are mountains, there will be bandits, there are lakes and seas, there will be pirates. Those who do not have enough to eat and have no strength, those who have committed crimes and fled, and those who have been wronged and hated the government have all done this. Whether it is a caravan passing by, or a rich man in the city, robber, robber, or robber. There are many powerful people, forming gangs to do this thing, and there are strong people, the so-called Jiangyang thieves, who can do it alone.

Ordinary thieves can be cashed out everywhere, and gold and silver can be melted, but when it comes to valuable antiques and jade ornaments, there is a great risk in selling, and often it can only be circulated underground. All such goods near Chang'an will flow underground in the West Market, and I am the biggest dealer in the West Market in recent years. ”

Xia Huanfeng took a sip of wine and said lightly.

Mingyi secretly admired that this person, as long as he wants to do it, he is afraid that he can do anything. It's no wonder that he doesn't have much pursuit of money and power, and just wants to do some seemingly impossible challenges, such as making a third-rate gang the first gang in martial arts.

Shi Chu listened silently, and seemed to be very interested: "What about the other part of the black goods?" ”

Xia Huanfeng continued.

"The other part of the black goods is also stolen goods, but they are not stolen goods that are openly robbed, they are just thieves by taking advantage of power and status.

As an official, he received all kinds of treasures, some of them didn't like it, some of them were too eye-catching, and some of them wanted to turn them into title deeds or gold, even if they were discounted, they were all willing.

There are also a small number of people brought out of the palace and some from the palace. The imperial treasures secretly taken by the concubines who fell out of favor in exchange for money, the treasures in the palace stolen by the declining father-in-law of the Northern Division, and the ancestral property sold by the declining kings and grandsons, all of them just wanted to sell safely and quickly, and the profits were the greatest.

These require the person who sits in the village not only to have the eye to know the goods, but also to know the ability to know people, in order to get the best price and avoid the troublesome objects. ”

Ming Yi listened, with a sense of great insight, and was about to ask, when he suddenly saw Shi Shi and Xia Huanfeng at the beginning of the silent posture, their faces were nervous.

She looked at the door of the private room, and after a while, a slender white hand pushed the door open, and laughed loudly: "It turns out that the master lady is hiding Ailang here." 2k reading network
