Chapter 296: It's a Long Story
The profit of the purchase price is actually very small. Whether it is purchased from England or from the capital, the cost price is much lower than the sales price.
But the profit of this sales price is a lot.
Benjamin asked for a cent of Xingshuang's sales price, which seemed to be a lion's mouth, but in fact, it was worth it in combination with his labor.
Benjamin had the idea to see if this lady would be exposed in front of interests, you must know that it sounds very scary to make a profit on the sales price, and not everyone can figure it out at once.
Xing Shuang was just stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "No wonder your father is relieved to let you walk around, I was worried that you wouldn't be able to understand my painstaking efforts." Fortunately, you are clever enough, and the price is not expensive.
"You're walking around with your life, and a penny of profit isn't much. In addition to the profit from this sale, I will give you another place to live, so that you can come and fall back on your feet. There is also a subordinate who will serve you when you come.
"It's just that you have to make it easier for me here. You probably don't know our rules here, and a family like ours is not allowed to do business. If you want to help you eat the goods, you have to have a reasonable name.
"To the outside world, you only said that you borrowed my shop to sell your things, and you can also look at the account book directly. Anyway, you have to eat a penny of my sales, and I'm not afraid to show you the account books. But this borrowing agreement from the shop has to be signed by yourself. ”
Benjamin was overjoyed when he heard this, and his heart was worthy of Lian's mother, and he was about to sign and take Xing Shuang to see the goods.
Xing Shuang said to him again: "Your goods in the head are pressed on the dock, and my younger brother sent someone to help you get it back, and it is inconvenient for me to make a move at this time, so I let his people come." Let's get the matter of borrowing the shop in order first, and then let him hand over the goods to you. ”
Benjamin did not disagree, immediately signed the pledge, and negotiated the price of the goods.
A few days later, someone from Benjamin's family visited, and it was a subordinate sent by Xing Zhong, who moved Benjamin's goods from the warehouse to Xing Shuang's shop. In the evening another man came and brought a cage full of gold flakes.
"Here is a hundred taels of gold, and please sign for it." The person who came said respectfully: "Our host said that he will return to Gusu in a few days, and he will come to the capital to visit the general's wife, hoping to see Young Master Ben at the right time."
"What Young Master Ben wants to bring back, which goods are easy to sell in the West, and which goods are easy to bring on the road, please ask Young Master Ben to think about it in the next few days, and then our host will come to discuss with Young Master Ben in person."
Benjamin hurriedly thanked the person who came over, and rewarded the person according to the custom of the East, and then sent the person out.
Xing Shuang went to his shop this time, looked at the goods brought back by Benjamin this time, and found that they were similar to the ones sent in, so he went home and began to think about how to sell them.
Wang was the leader of this idea, so naturally he couldn't run away, so he was called by Xing Shuang to grind his teeth for a long time, and finally went back to write to his close friends, inviting them to come to the house one by one.
Xing Shuang, on the other hand, also took the girls and ran to Tielan. I played cards with a few wives, and the girls showed off their handbags and make-up mirrors with other girls.
Within a few days, many mothers-in-law went to Xingshuang's shop to buy handbags and make-up mirrors. The shopkeeper in the shop was also clever, and packed the handbag and silverware in a suitcase, and when others wanted to see it, he took it out with the suitcase, which made many people look straight in the eyes.
After coming and going, everyone knew that the shop of the first-class general's wife sold Western goods, and even the saint heard it, but looking at the secret report on the table, the saint rubbed his eyebrows again, and he had a headache.
Again! It's her again!
This Xing family, since he got married, he has been endless?
The saint had a little headache, and originally asked Jia Yu to point out this family, just to suppress him and let their family stop a little. As a result, now that Jia Yu has stopped, his wife has not stopped again?
So a holy decree came down, and Jia Liang rushed to the imperial study from the scenery of the Yamen of the Ministry of Rites, and as soon as he entered the door, he was thrown a fold head-on.
"Get on your knees!"
Jia Liang knelt down with a puff, and crawled in: "Your Majesty, where did the minister do wrong?" ”
Hearing this word, the saint was angry: "Do you still know that you are wrong again?" Your daughter-in-law, what kind of Western stuff are you doing to sell? I'm afraid that people won't know that you have fished a lot of things in one trip, right? ”
Jia Liang raised his head speechlessly and looked at the saint: "Your Majesty, which fool told you that?" ”
The saint was furious: "Who is the fool of you? ”
Jia Liang hurriedly said: "But Your Majesty, although there is only one word difference between this Western Ocean and the Eastern Ocean, the difference is thousands of miles. You know what I brought back from my trip to the East. Only those who don't understand the difference between the East and the West will fire guns so indiscriminately, right? ”
The saint thought about it, and it seemed like this was the case. Aren't those secret guards all fools? He looked up at the ceiling speechlessly, and then looked down at the people on the ground: "Then you say, where did all these Western things come from?" ”
Jia Liang smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, this is a long story. ”
The saint made a straight face: "Then you will make a long story short." ”
Jia Liang scratched his hair in distress: "It's really not good to make a long story short, otherwise there are a lot of relationships in it that can't be explained." If you want to talk about it, you have to start with the Western carriage sent by the English envoy a few years ago. ”
The saint's face was about to drip water: "Shorter." ”
Jia Liang said again: "Then we have to start with the palace exam that year." ”
The saint's face darkened: "Shorter! ”
Jia Liang said helplessly: "Then it has to start when my eldest son went to study in England." ”
The saint was stunned: "Wait, did you skip something in the middle?" ”
Jia Liang smiled bitterly: "So, Your Majesty, I said that it can't be short, and if it's short, you don't know the reason for it." ”
The saint had a headache and wanted to simply throw all the folds on the table. After thinking about it, there were still several eunuchs in the room watching, but I still endured it.
"Make it clear to me! Come, give a seat. If the general doesn't make it clear today, he won't be allowed to leave the palace! ”
Jia Liang quickly got up, sat down dignifiedly, took another sip of tea handed over by Huang Gonggong, and then began to speak.
This statement is really dark. Jia Liang didn't know how to grasp the key points, and when he thought of where he said, it was all according to the timeline, and the sage began to listen a little bit patiently, and he was drowsy after hearing it.
Seeing that it was dusk, Jia Liang hadn't finished speaking, and just said that he had asked Viscount Norton to help him and let Freddy be his son's tutor.
The saint raised his head and looked out the window, and waved his hand weakly: "You go back, write down the back, and hand it over early tomorrow morning to read." ”
