Chapter 857: Selling Beads
No wonder he looked confused, it was really the scene in front of him, which was far beyond his cognition......
On a wide avenue, the shops on both sides are lined up in a regular manner, and many lanterns are hung high, illuminating the entire road. A high lookout platform is set up every 100 steps in the whole field, and the Ming soldiers on the upper floor are condescending, and the spears in their hands are flashing with a dazzling cold light, teaching people not to dare to make mistakes. However, no one wants to make a mistake, and most of the faces of everyone are flashing with surprise and joy, and they are happy to walk around the shops one by one.
This is the "commercial street" planned by Zhu Su himself, and most of the commercial districts in this era are planned at random, and there is no regulation in the east and west. If it is a backward place, it is simply the government to set aside a vacant land at random and let the people set up stalls. Such a regular shape, I am afraid of the entire feudal era, and if I think about it, only the Suzaku Street in the Tang Dynasty can be compared.
Don't say that they, even if they look at the entire Ming Dynasty, they can't find the second one for the time being, where have these three Tusi who have never even gone out to Lianzhou seen such a novel and lively scene?
I thought that the so-called Yongchang was just a random arrangement of His Royal Highness the King of Zhou, how could they have expected that the King of Zhou would really come up with such a decent thing in Lianzhou Mansion? Seeing such a tall shop, the three toasts felt a little remorseful in their hearts. If he supported King Zhou at that time, then these neat and clean shops may have a few of them.
But the shop is only a minutiae, and the real big head should be the profits from the sale of Nanzhu. So they simply followed the crowd and walked along this commercial street step by step, looking for shops selling Nanzhu.
Soon, they found a shop, "Shang Renxuan", and when they heard the name, they knew that this shop was the shop opened by the Ye family toast.
Seeing that the decoration of this large shop is excellent, and the guests are also endless, the heart of the surnamed Qin Tusi is even more jealous. He asked his subordinates to visit first, and made sure that Ye Shangren, the toast of the Ye family, was not in the store and was not in danger of being recognized, so he walked in with Shi Shiran, the other two toast masters.
"Three masters, please! Is it buying beads? I don't know whether the three masters bought it for their own use, or came to run the business, if they want to give it to their families, we have two strings of good Nanzhu bracelets left...... "The clothes of the three people are the same as the Han people, and the shopkeeper who is in charge of the reception has not found any clues, and he greeted him warmly."
The three toast masters were stunned when they heard this, and the Tusi surnamed Qin was the fastest when he saw the opportunity, and he had already noticed the difference between this Ye family's selling pearls and the past, and blurted out and asked, "Huh?" Why do you Ye family sell pearls, but now you only sell finished products? ”
The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, then reacted and said with a smile: "It seems that the three masters were also our old customers in the past." ”
"Yes, my Toast will no longer sell river beads from today. Rather, they sell the finished beads...... These bead chain jewelry in my house today are made by the best masters of Susong and Song, you see, there are certificates, if the old man needs any special shape, you can also place an order for the master to order ......"
These business methods, the three toasts have no heart to care. Tusi, surnamed Tian, simply got straight to the point and asked directly: "How are these beads of yours being sold now?" ”
They have already determined that these Han toasts are using Nanzhu to start a price war with them...... So just know the price and go back and sell for a lower price than them.
Even if they find a master and now sell finished jewelry, they can't support the reserves of their own Fang Nanzhu...... As long as you use the price war to squeeze these Han toasts to the ground first, are you still afraid of their trivial means?
"This ...... The price of beads in a small store depends on the workmanship of the specific jewelry. However, such a coarse bead only needs ten treasure bills......" shop small two roads.
"Ten times?" Tian's eyes widened. "Aren't you guys robbing money?"
The strings of beads in the small second-hand are poorly made and vary in size. This kind of inferior beads, in the past, it was too expensive to sell the usual treasure money. They are ashamed to sell ten times?
"I can't say that. The small shop clearly marked the price, and the children were not bullied, how could it be regarded as robbing? "That shop is a little second." If the three masters don't buy it, they leave the shop, why do they slander it? This string of beads, but from the hands of the famous Suzhou 'carved plum', we have a certificate, how can you be slandered? ”
The shopkeeper's eyes were not good, and it seemed that the next moment, he was going to report them to the Ming army on the lookout platform to make trouble.
The three of them didn't dare to make a mistake, so they had to leave the store with a black face. They have also asked for the price. Na Tian's surname Tusi said: "Why are these Han family toasts sold at a much more expensive price than before, and those merchants don't come to buy the Nanzhu we have at hand?" ”
"Perhaps, it was Ye Shangren's own brain that broke his brain." Tusi surnamed Qin is also puzzled. In his mind, these Han family toasts originally had small reserves in Nanzhu, and they even raised their prices, shouldn't there be even more no merchants to patronize them?
Thinking about it, he can only think that this Ye Shangren is eager for quick success and quick profit, and wants to take advantage of the opportunity when the market is open and foreign businessmen don't know it, and make a quick amount of money first...... Perhaps those merchants did not come to find out the mystery of their purchase of Nanzhu, but it fell on the Han toast of other families.
But when they walked around the entire field, visited the shops of several other Han toasts, and came to the door of Shang Renxuan in a circle, what they saw were also those Nanzhu who raised the price to their unimaginable status, and these toasts from slang and Xu households were completely stunned.
"Why? Why are these Han people clearly selling Nanzhu more expensive, but there are still no merchants who are willing to come to us to buy Nanzhu? "The face of Tusi surnamed Qin is pale, if it weren't for the people coming and going here, he still needs to take care of some decency, he simply wants to make a hexagram on the spot with the customs of the clan......
I really can't figure it out!
The other two toasts were also confused, not understanding what was wrong. Still surnamed Tusi, Gao was sharp-eyed, and saw that a Fujian businessman who had asked them to receive Nanzhu a few days ago was coming out of "Shang Renxuan", and hurriedly grabbed his shoulder: "Boss Lin, don't come unharmed?" ”
"Ahh......h Master Gao? The Min merchant turned his head, squinted, and knew that it was the local toast, so he hurriedly handed it over: "Master Gao, wow, you also come to visit this field?" Also, Lianzhou is not what it used to be, it's really lively......"
Tusi surnamed Gao didn't have time to talk nonsense with him now, but went straight to the point: "You entered this Shang Renxuan, didn't you come to buy beads?" ”
"Why don't you come and buy our beads, but you want to buy the precious beads of the Ye family here?"
