In the past few days, Xiangguo Pang Ji is a little troubled, and in another month it will be the fortieth birthday of the Son of Heaven, although the Son of Heaven advocates simplicity and opposes luxury and waste, but the Son of Heaven did not say that he would cancel the birthday celebration.

Forty years old is a watershed in life, and it should naturally be celebrated simply and grandly, but how to organize the celebration is a matter for Taichang Temple and the Ministry of Rites, and Pang Ji doesn't have to worry too much.

But what kind of birthday gift should be given to the Son of Heaven is what upsets him.

First of all, birthday gifts can not be extravagant, but not too ordinary, the Son of Heaven has made it clear a few years ago that his birthday gifts do not accept luxury goods such as celebrity calligraphy and paintings and antiques.

The Son of Heaven loves porcelain the most, but porcelain is not a rare thing in the Song Dynasty, there are countless official kiln porcelain in the palace, even the Son of Heaven takes the official kiln porcelain as a gift to the minister, and then takes the porcelain as a birthday gift, isn't it a joke?

"Grandfather, the Son of Heaven has been fond of Tian Huangshi recently, can you consider it from this?" His Pang Gongsun reminded in a whisper from the side.

Although Pang Gongsun failed in the Tongzi department, he got his grandfather's shadow official and has been registered by the Ministry of Officials as a Zhengjiupin Ru Lin Lang, which is equivalent to being born in the same jinshi, but he has just turned fifteen years old now, and I am afraid that it will take two years to get the official position.

Sun Tzu's words immediately reminded Pang Ji, why didn't he think of Tian Huangshi?

He started quickly, and before the government took control of the Tianhuangshi vein, he bought 500 acres of land along the Shoushan River, and also had his own mine, but he had not yet started mining.

Pang Ji took a few steps and gave a piece of the best Tian Huangshi as a very good gift, which could not only meet the preferences of the Son of Heaven, but also not violate the various regulations of the Son of Heaven.

It's just that his mine hasn't produced yet, so I'm afraid it's too late.

Pang Gongsun understood his grandfather's worries very well, so he suggested again: "Grandfather can go and discuss with the Fan family Qishi shop, they should have good things in their hands, and they will also give grandfather's face." ”

Pang Ji nodded, this is indeed a good way.

．．．．．．．．

The Stone Breaking Sky Strange Stone Pavilion has been officially opened half a month ago, the Strange Stone Pavilion is not like other shops, its goods are basically not related to ordinary people, mainly for powerful officials and literati, and the profit is extremely high, the price is double that of the Strange Stone Pavilion in Pingjiang Mansion.

For example, the price of a fine Taihu stone in Pingjiang Mansion is between 80 and 100 yuan, but in the capital, the cheapest is 200 yuan, and its acquisition cost generally does not exceed 10 yuan, which is 20 times the profit.

But the tax is very high, three cents, that is, three percent.

The Great Song Dynasty stipulated that the tax rate for merchants was two cents, and the tax rate for merchants was three cents.

Therefore, when Taihu stone enters the capital, it must first be levied two cents of tax, but if it is sold in its own store, then when it is sold, it can be offset against the tax paid when entering the city.

However, the transaction of a piece of Taihu Lake stone still has to pay at least six taxes.

Because the profit is too high, as long as you can sell one stone a day in the business of the Strange Stone Pavilion, the profit is already very rich.

Of course, guests need to accumulate slowly, and word of mouth also needs to be transmitted to each other, which is a torturous process, generally don't expect to make much money in the first three years, and it is already very good to be able to maintain without losing money.

However, the business of the "Stone Breaking Heaven Strange Stone Pavilion" is very high, mainly because Tian Huangshi sells quite well.

In the process, the store also suffered a big loss of inexperience.

On the morning of the first day of opening, the Strange Stone Museum sold 500 pieces of Tianhuang Stone, with an average price of 10 yuan a piece, but in the afternoon, it found that something was wrong and immediately stopped selling.

The Tian Huangshi they sold was actually snapped up by other stores, and they sold Tian Huangshi and sold it at other stores for 100 yuan that afternoon.

Only then did Fan Tiege realize that he had greatly underestimated the value of Tian Huangshi and pushed the price of Tian Huangshi too low.

However, Akihito is more clever, and the Tianhuang stone taken out on the first day is not the best frozen stone Tianhuang, but ordinary Tianhuang, and there are many impurities, so it can only be regarded as a medium-to-high-grade goods.

That night, Fan Tiege adjusted the price, and only took out ten pieces of Tianhuang stone at a time, the price of ordinary Tianhuang was 100 yuan, and the price of frozen stone Tianhuang was 300 yuan each, and the price of Zhu Zhe's carved works was negotiable.

As soon as the price of Tianhuangshi was raised, the sales volume immediately plummeted, and the next day they only sold three Tianhuangshi.

In the afternoon, Fan Tiege was registering the account books behind the counter, and Akihito was sitting on the stairs bored, today's business was average, they sold a piece of frozen stone Tianhuang and a piece of fine Taihu stone, and received five hundred yuan.

"Akihito, you go to Fuzhou! It's enough for me here, Mingli is there alone, I'm not very relieved, you will be in charge of Shoushan Stone after you go to Fuzhou. ”

Akihito also wanted to go out for a walk, so he smiled and said, "I'm in charge of Tian Huangshi, and let the second child be in charge of Shoushan Stone." ”

"You brothers discuss this by themselves, I don't care, anyway, the two of you are just one of you."

"Forget it, I'm still in charge of Shoushan Stone, Tian Huangshi is no longer interesting, I think Shoushan Stone is more challenging, and I prefer to do things with expectations."

"If you like it, there are still 6,000 yuan in the Fuzhou money shop, and you can spend 3,000 yuan to buy mines, but the money is not allowed to be spent indiscriminately, and you must buy good frozen stone mines."

"Daddy, don't worry! When do I lose money? ”

Fan Tiege thinks about it, their two sons are extremely shrewd, and they are both the kind of powerful characters who don't see big fish and don't spread bait.

Especially for this opening, if it weren't for Akihito's shrewdness, insisting on suppressing good goods and not selling them, and selling middle and high-class goods first, they would really suffer a big loss.

"Alright! You leave early tomorrow morning and go to Jiangdu to take a sea boat south. ”

As he was talking, he saw two scribes, an old man and a young man, enter the shop.

Fan Tiege recognized the old man at a glance, it was Xiangguo Pang, who inscribed the shop for himself, and came to cheer on the first day of opening.

Fan Tiege hurriedly stepped forward to salute, "It turns out that Pang Xianggong is here, welcome!" Welcome! ”

Pang Ji smiled and said, "Shopkeeper Fan, I have something to ask you for help today." ”

"Pang Xianggong is too polite, as long as the small shop can do it, he will do his best, Pang Xianggong is here, please take a seat!"

Fan Tiege invited Pang Ji to sit down at the guest table, and asked the guy to serve tea, while Pang Gongsun stood behind his grandfather

"How's business going during this time?" Pang Ji looked at the store and asked with concern.

"It's okay, it's better than I expected!"

In front of Pang Ji, Fan Tiege didn't tell a lie, but told the truth.

"Calculate the time, Fanning should be back!"

"He said to go home for 10 days, plus the time on the road, he should come back in these two days."

Pang Ji nodded and said with a smile: "I want to buy a superb Tianhuang stone statue to celebrate people's birthdays, I don't know if there is one in the store?" ”

Fan Tiege hurriedly said: "I just took out a good statue today, which is very suitable for birthday celebrations, do you want to see it?" ”

"Yes, I'd like to take a look."

Fan Tiege was about to ask his son Mingren to take down the things, but Pang Ji got up and said, "Okay, I'll go up and have a look!" ”

"Pang Xianggong, please!"

Pang Ji went up to the second floor, and found that the shelf decoration was not the same as before, the shelves on the wall on the first three sides were densely filled with Tianhuangshi, and now they are all removed, but in the middle there is a rather elegant and classical antique shelf, on which only ten pieces of Tianhuangshi are placed.

Pang Ji laughed, "Is scarcity expensive?" ”

Fan Tiege smiled bitterly, "At the beginning, I had no experience, I put five hundred yuan, and I sold it cheaply, but it was suddenly bought up by the surrounding stores, and they sold it at a high price in their own stores, so that they also had Tian Huangshi, this is a big mistake I made." ”

"It's a big mistake!"

Pang Ji smiled and comforted him: "I can only say that I made a mistake for a while, the problem is not big, you can't care about the gains and losses of doing business overnight, besides, although other shops have taken advantage of it for a while, they have played a role in promoting Tian Huangshi on the other hand, and they help you promote Tian Huangshi, isn't it a good thing?" ”

Pang Ji's comfort made Fan Tiege's heart feel a lot more comfortable, he took down a birthday star statue carved from Tian Huangshi from the top of the antique shelf, and said with a smile: "This is also carved by Zhu Zhe, and it is carved with a rare large piece of Tian Huang stone, which is the most suitable for birthday celebrations." ”

Pang Ji took Tian Huang Shi and looked at it, the texture of the stone is very delicate and moist, it is frozen Shi Tian Huang, which is a rare treasure, and the carving is also exquisite and lifelike.

It's just that..... The birthday statue is a little vulgar, if the Son of Heaven is sixty years old, it would be fine, but the Son of Heaven is only forty years old, and it is not appropriate to send this statue.

However, Pang Ji took a fancy to the stone quality of this statue, such a good Tianhuang stone treasure, how could he not be in his pocket?

Pang Ji shook his head and said to Fan Tiege: "I might as well tell you the truth of the big shopkeeper, it is the birthday of the Son of Heaven, and he loves Tian Huangshi, so I want to use Tian Huangshi as a gift, is there a landscape or Buddha carving?" ”

Fan Tiege suddenly realized that it was to celebrate the birthday of the Son of Heaven, he thought for a while and said: "On the first day, there was a statue of Guanyin, which was bought by King Ruyang, and there seems to be a landscape painting, Pang Xianggong waited for a while. ”

Fan Tiege went to look for a landscape carving in the box inside, and at this time, Pang Gongsun whispered to his grandfather: "This birthday statue is an excellent thing, why didn't grandfather keep it?" ”

Pang Ji nodded, "I want this statue, let's talk about it later!" ”

At this time, Fan Tiege cautiously walked over with a wooden box, Pang Ji hurriedly took it, and carefully opened the lid of the box, inside was a slightly flattened Tianhuang stone, the same frozen stone treasure, carved a landscape painting on the smooth plane.

Pang Ji blurted out, "This is Yan Su's "Mountain Dwelling Map". ”

Fan Tiege smiled and nodded, "That's true, this is also Zhu Zhe's sculpture work, and this is the current landscape painting." ”

Pang Ji couldn't help but marvel at Zhu Zhe's brilliant carving level, the lines are simple and smooth, whether it is a thatched house or a mountain, it is very simple, and every extra stroke of knife work makes the whole carving painting full of charm.

The more Pang Ji looked at it, the more he liked it, and he was even a little reluctant to give it to the Son of Heaven.

"How much is this piece of Tianhuangshi?" Pang asked with a smile.

"If Pang Xianggong wants to buy it, three hundred yuan!" Fan Tiege hesitated and whispered.

"Then you might as well send it to me, what are you going to do with the money?"

Pang Ji was a little dissatisfied: "Or does the big shopkeeper think that my Pang Ji is too poor to buy Tian Huangshi?" ”

Fan Tiege suddenly realized that he had said the wrong thing, and he hurriedly said: "We want to pay 1,200 yuan, and we can bargain appropriately." ”

"That's pretty much it!"

Pang Ji looked at the birthday statue next to him, "What about this birthday statue?" ”

"That statue is relatively large, it is carved from rare stone, and the price is two thousand five hundred!"

Pang Ji smiled: "Then three thousand yuan!" I want both statues. ”

Fan Tiege wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and said, "Let Pang Xianggong break the bank!" ”

Pang Ji shook his head and said: "I took a big advantage, and after ten years, these two statues will not be able to buy 30,000 yuan." ”

Fan Tiege was stunned, "Will it go up tenfold?" ”

Pang Ji smiled, "I said something disrespectful, the big shopkeeper has no problem selling Taihu stone, but he is really lacking in Tian Huangshi, you don't know the true value of Tian Huangshi, ask Fan Ning more in terms of pricing in the future, he is the one who understands Tian Huangshi thoroughly." ”

Pang Ji and his grandson left with the two Tianhuangshi, Fan Tiege was still in a daze, and after a while, he sighed and said, "Mingren, did I really make a big mistake?" ”

Akihito said with a smile: "Now that Tian Huangshi has just been launched, there are few people who really understand its value, and Daddy doesn't have to blame himself, if you don't sell Tian Huangshi, everyone will never understand."

But Pang Xianggong is right, we do sell too cheap, the father listened to the child's words, put away the frozen stone Tian Huang treasures and did not sell, only sell ordinary Tian Huangshi, and wait for a few years, after the ordinary Tian Huangshi is sold to a thousand runs, our frozen stone Tian Huangshi can really make a lot of money. ”

Fan Tiege let out a long sigh, "You are smarter than your father, you are right, this time your father listens to you, only sells middle and high grades, and the treasures are not sold, and the stone statue carved by Zhu Zhe is not sold for the time being." ”
