Chapter 143: Tempting the Bush Family
Shaoyang's progress in the Liu family was going well, but out of the demand for ironwood, he naturally hoped to buy as much as possible, and he did not hide it, telling Liu Shixun that someone else was going to visit the Bush family. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
With the power of the Liu family, it is impossible to take all the ironwood that is more than 20 years old in Tiemu City, not to mention that Shaoyang and others dare not guarantee that the Liu family can agree to sell ironwood again, Liu Shixun does not mind this matter, and also wishes the Bush family a smooth trip.
What's more, the ironwood transaction is just a monetary benefit, Liu Shixun is more concerned about making friends with Shaoyang, and he introduced several important members of the Liu family during the banquet.
Unlike the happy and harmonious people of the Liu family, Guo Jia and the caravan stewards of the Xu family were not treated well by the Bush family, and they were not treated coldly, but they were not much better, and they were only received by the Bush family's stewards.
"Steward Xu, I've told you many times, it's not that we don't want to trade, it's that there has been a shortage of ironwood for more than twenty years. The Bush housekeeper still used the previous excuse to shirk it.
If it weren't for the Xu family's high reputation, the two families would have many other intersections besides Tiemu, and the Bush family would not want to easily offend the Xu family, and they would not even want to send out a steward.
As long as the Bush family is willing to sell ironwood, we can buy it at a price 10 percent higher than the market price, and the other two will also give certain preferential treatment in other trade dealings. The steward of the Xu family's caravan reported the chips that had been discussed before.
The housekeeper of the Bush family still looked embarrassed, and he was also very moved by the price proposed by the Xu family, and the price of Tiemu was a lot more, not to mention that there were other discounts, but it was a pity.
These benefits are not low, but with the wealth of the Bush family, it is not particularly attractive, and the head of the family has specially instructed that Greg should not be offended because of the Xu family's caravan. There is no way, the Bush family is different from the Liu family, Tiemucheng has the first wealth, but it does not have enough strength to protect it.
The housekeeper of the Xu family negotiated many times, but the other party still refused, and in desperation, he could only look at Guo Jia, who was drinking tea and waiting, and after getting his nod, he took out something from the cloth bag on his waist and held it in the palm of his hand cautiously.
In Shaoyang's view, it is just an ordinary glass ball. As a traverser, comparing the situation in the Dusk Continent, Shaoyang knew that many things were valuable.
For example, the cement, saddle, stirrup, and horseshoe that Songhai City has made, as well as the distilled liquor that Ying Lao Er made in White Emperor City, in addition to many things that Shaoyang only knows a little about, but does not know how to make them.
It doesn't matter if he doesn't know the specific manufacturing process, just tell Ma Hun everything he knows, and then let him take someone to study it.
And this glass sphere is the product of the study of transparent glass.
In the whole winter last year, the most unbearable thing for Shaoyang was that there was not much green in the food, and as a person, he could naturally enjoy the vegetables kept in the cellar, but they were still not fresh enough.
I tried to grow some vegetables in the greenhouse, and the simple heating house without glass was limited, so I took some of it and sent it to Tianfu to try the market, and the result was naturally enthusiastic, and the benefits were even more exciting.
So Shaoyang ordered to pay close attention to the study of smelting transparent glass, but unfortunately Ma Hun is not particularly good at this, and has not succeeded so far, but the attached stained glass is a lot.
didn't waste his brainpower to think of other names, Shaoyang called these colorful glasses Liuli, Liuli, which had no status in Shaoyang's eyes, was shocked by others, and even Xu Shu couldn't help but scramble for a few ornaments.
The glass ball taken out by the steward of the Xu family's caravan, oh no, it is a glass bead, because there are a lot of impurities, there are several colors on the bead, and this complicated color makes the glass beads appear more gorgeous.
No matter which world humans or creatures are, they all like bright colors rather than black and white, Shaoyang, who was used to seeing them in his previous life, didn't care, but the people of the Dusk Continent had never seen Liuli before.
As soon as the glass beads appeared, the steward of the Bush family was deeply attracted by it, and he could no longer take his eyes off it, until the steward of the Xu family's caravan held his hand tightly, he let out an exclamation of disappointment, and then looked at the steward of the Xu family in shock, and did not know how to speak for a while.
"What do you think of this orb?"
"Good, beautiful...... Gorgeous. The Bush steward has not yet recovered from the shock and cannot think of any more adjectives.
This jewel is called Liuli Zhu, and in order to show sincerity, this jewel was given to the Bush family as a gift. The steward of the Xu family's caravan felt reluctant in his heart.
"Ah, how embarrassing is this?" The Bush family steward was not slow, took the glass beads from the hands of the Xu family caravan steward, put them in front of him and looked at them carefully, the more he looked at them, the more fascinated he became, he understood that this glass beads were very precious, and he did not dare to neglect them in the slightest, and he needed to send them to the head of the family as soon as possible.
"I'm sorry, but please wait a moment. The Bush housekeeper left a sentence and left Guo Jia and the others aside, took the glass beads and left.
"Wait. Guo Jia spoke, guessing the purpose of the steward's departure.
Based on the situation of the Bush family, they can naturally recognize the value of the glass beads, and they should also be able to understand that taking out the glass beads is naturally not as simple as giving gifts, and then they have to wait for the Bush family to come forward with someone who can really call the shots.
In the Bush house, Duke Bush, the head of the family, was discussing business with his two sons when the steward hurried over.
"What's the matter with the panic?" Duke's second son was very dissatisfied with the steward's behavior, and wanted to scold the steward.
If it were normal, the steward would definitely be too frightened to move, but as if he didn't see the second master, he came directly to the elder Bush to offer the treasure: "Master, look at this treasure." ā
The light in the inner hall is a little dim, and the glass beads appear more dazzling, and the old Bush still looks old and dizzy before, but after seeing the glass beads, his eyes let out the essence, and he carefully took the glass beads from the steward's hand.
The two sons of the elder Bush also showed a look of surprise, and the second son, who had an impulsive personality, had forgotten the rudeness of the steward, pointed to the glass beads and asked, "What kind of treasure is this? Where did you get it from when it was so gorgeous?" ā
"It's called Glass Beads. The steward explained, and the others couldn't help but exclaim.
The boss of the Bush family calmed down, and said after a while: "You are not entertaining the people of the Xu family's caravan, could this glass bead be theirs?"
"Haha, master, uncle, second master, now this precious glass bead belongs to our Bush family. The steward recounted what had happened before.
