Chapter 195: It has its own deep meaning
After planning for a long time, the fish finally took the bait, but Yan Yu didn't dare to relax.
He set up this bureau to do business with the people under the Six Princes, but he had to make the other party more active.
The people who came to do business with Yan Yu were the subordinates of the Six Princes, but they were not the people who chased and killed Yan Yu and Lu Zhewen before.
There is a specialization in the art industry, but mining and sales are not the same thing, but the business that this person talks about and the profits he gets are ultimately divided between him and the leader in charge of mining.
After that, the rest of the benefits will be reported to the six princes above.
In the private room of the restaurant, there were only two people at a table, Yan Yu sat here, and the people who came to talk about things sat on the other side.
While the other party was looking at Yan Yu, Yan Yu was also looking at him.
Before in the capital, with the help of Lu Zhewen, he met a lot of people around the six princes.
He really hasn't seen this business with him today, and the more this is the case, the more cautious he must be.
Who knows if the other party is the same as him before, he has never seen it on the surface, but he knows many things about the other party well.
"Your Excellency wants to talk to me about business?" Not only did the face be disguised, but even the voice had to be changed, and the habits of the past had to be abandoned, so that even the closest people could not be recognized in front of them, and this was considered to be done.
"The person who came to find the shopkeeper was naturally to do business, and the surname of the contemptible person was Tang, I don't know what the shopkeeper's surname is?"
He asked like this, which made Yan Yu sneer in his heart, before he came, this surnamed Tang must have already inquired about his details, but he pretended not to know anything.
This is also normal.
"Under the surname Liu." Whether it is a name or a surname, it is all nonsense, Yan Yu estimated that this surname Tang is not a real name or surname.
"Shopkeeper Liu, you can call me Tang Da, I'll be big at home." After hearing what Yan Yu said, Tang laughed and spoke, as if he was very close to him.
"In this case, I'm not welcome, we are all cheerful people, and we don't beat around the bush, since Your Excellency wants to do business with me, I don't know how the salt from your salt mountain is? What about the price? ”
In Yancheng, the prices of most salt merchants are uniform, and few people make exceptions, and they dare not make exceptions.
After all, they are all in business, although they are in competition with each other, but the means can only come behind the scenes, and must not be put on the surface.
Otherwise, even if they are all opponents, they will work together to suppress the exceptions.
"Shopkeeper Liu, rest assured, the salt mountain in my hand has just been mined, you must know that the newly opened salt mountain is of better quality than the old salt mountain."
"As for the price, the shopkeeper can also rest assured, only the low is not high." Usually, the newly mined ones will be slightly higher than the old ones, but there will still be people who will be willing to buy them.
Most of these cities also go to the capital or other large places, and they are often supplied to the palace.
But some people are willing to pay the same price as the old salt mountain, and in this case, others can't say anything.
"Newly opened?" After Tang Da finished speaking, Yan Yu showed a very interested look, "I've been looking for the newly opened salt mountain recently. ”
"Oh? What is the purpose of the shopkeeper's search for the newly opened salt mountain? Staring at Yan Yu, Tang Da's gaze was no longer like the one just now, but became very aggressive.
"Why did Your Excellency suddenly change your face, didn't I say something wrong?" Without answering immediately, Yan Yu looked at Tang Da without changing his face, as if he was very puzzled.
"That's not it, it's just that I'm a little curious about Shopkeeper Liu's desire to find the newly mined salt mountain."
Hearing Yan Yu ask, Tang Da's expression softened a little, as if the person just now was not him.
"Since Your Excellency has a salt mountain, you should know that the newly mined salt mountain is of better quality than the old one, I am in business, if the thing is better, but the price is the same, or even lower than the previous one, I must be better!"
"What merchant doesn't want to be the best in the industry?" In response to Tang Da's words, Yan Yu was stared at by him, his expression and movements were very comfortable, and there was no sense of oppression at all.
When he said this, Tang Da's expression became more and more relaxed, but Yan Yu could see that he was still on guard.
This is also normal, after all, he tested him, and he can't be blamed for being anxious, it can only be said that the other party is too nervous.
It can be seen that the salt mountain of the Six Princes is really a big problem.
"Shopkeeper Liu, although he wants to be the best, he can ...... I'm afraid it won't work, after all, there is the DPRK and China in control, but at the local level, there is still no problem. ”
The people always have to eat salt, and if they can't afford to eat the good, they will eat the bad, and if they can't afford to eat the pure, they will eat the mixture.
"I have never imagined that if I want to surpass the imperial court and be able to do the local government, I will be satisfied."
"It's just...... I just mentioned Yanshan, Your Excellency's expression is not quite right, and I am suddenly a little worried, can our business continue? ”
When he said this, Tang Da suddenly frowned, "What does this mean?" ”
The salt in Yanshan is not unsellable, but they need a more stable channel.
After all, there are so many salt merchants in Yancheng, and for some people, whoever buys is the same.
"I don't know if Your Excellency has heard that I have a habit of being a person, but I have personally visited all the salt merchants I have bought and those who have salt mountains."
"After all, I didn't understand much at first, but I had to pretend to understand, but after a few walks, I almost understood it."
"Your Excellency said that your salt mountain is newly mined, and I have to see for myself to know if it is true. Of course, it's okay not to go, but you have to think of something to convince me. ”
After the salt stone is mined, it will be processed, and the salt stone will look the same whether it is new or old.
Unless it is edible and inedible, the distinction can be made in detail.
"This ......" Tang Da frowned, the interior of Yanshan must not be easy to enter, otherwise, the situation will be exposed.
Because of this, all those who came to explore were killed, and now, the shopkeeper in front of him proposed to go and see it......
Was he sent by someone else, or was he ...... Really want to do business?
If he really went to Salt Mountain, he would definitely find that not all the salt stones in Salt Mountain were edible, in case he regretted it......
For a while, Tang Da had many thoughts circulating in his heart, and Yan Yu sat on the other side drinking tea, his eyes looking at him from time to time.
He knew that Tang Da would never agree to this matter easily, and even if he did, he was afraid that it would be ...... It's a lot to go through if you want to get in.
In case he is recognized in the process and enters the salt mountain, he can only die, and he has to live well.
In fact, the offer to go to see Yanshan was just a temptation, even if Tang Da found a reason to refuse, Yan Yu would still do business with him.
After all, only in this way can he get the key evidence, but he still proposed to see Yanshan, which has his own deep meaning.
