Chapter 177: Madness
Greed is one of human natures, and everyone has the desire to be greedy. However, people are different, and some people can restrain their greed and be content and happy; And some people are insatiable and never satisfied!
When the price of the divine bead rose to 1,300 yuan, someone finally chose to be content and happy.
This man was a small businessman in Chang'an who opened a small workshop in Dongshi. I also make a few hundred dollars a year. When the Tianzhu merchant first sold the divine beads, he bought three beads with three catties of gold that his family had saved for several years.
When some people resold it to Ji Wangfu, he didn't sell it. Later, the price of the divine bead was rising every day, and he had been waiting and watching, but this time he really couldn't resist the temptation.
His beads were only bought for a pound of gold, and they were worth more than 100 yuan, but this time the family and Ji Wangfu offered a price of 1,300 yuan, how could he not be moved?
And most importantly, he felt that these three beads were too dangerous to keep at home. The husband is not guilty, which is different from copper coins.
A few members of his family can barely cope with the thieves, but they can't resist the family and the palace.
It's too hot, it's better to sell it and make a windfall, so he found the store of the Taiyuan Wang family in Dongshi and found the shopkeeper, because he was more familiar with the business.
"Don't worry! Our Wang family will not ruin the family's reputation for your thousands of times. You can go with me and get the money. The shopkeeper saw that his concerns were also disdainful.
Finally, one person sold it, if something happens again, will someone sell it to their Wang family in the future? They won't do something big because it's small.
By the time he went home with the money, the news had already begun to spread. Someone bought a divine pearl for a pound of gold and sold it to the Wang family for a total of 3,900 yuan, making ten times the profit.
For a while, he was envious of the good fortune of this merchant, and the boutique pavilion also opened the price to 1,500 yuan.
Hearing Wang Hongfu say that Li Shen knew that someone had sold it to the Wang family but did not sell it to him, he was furious, and said that it must have been less money, so it was added to 1,500 yuan.
The family was naturally very happy to see Li Shen deflated, and then set the purchase price to 1,500. But after a few days, no one sold it, and everyone was waiting to see if it would continue to rise.
On this day, there was news that one of the merchants who had bought the Divine Beads before was going to sell the ten Divine Beads in his hand. The location is in the Yunlai Restaurant of Cui's house in the East City, and the one with the highest price will get it.
It is reported that his cargo took the waterway. On the way, the ship sank. A shipload of goods sank to the bottom of the river, and his shipment was ordered by someone. Now the delivery cannot be made on time, and the buyer is demanding compensation according to the contract.
He smashed the pot and sold iron, and finally lost the money to the buyer, and his family was also surrounded by walls. There is no choice but to sell the previous Shenzhu in the hope of making a comeback.
As a businessman, of course, he knows how to maximize profits, so this time he is ready to get the highest price.
Of course, how could the provinces go to such a small scene in person? The people sent were all in charge, and in the end, these ten divine beads were bought by the Cui family for 2,000 yuan each.
I heard that Wang Hongfu went to King Ji's mansion this time, and after returning to the palace, he was scolded by King Ji for being bloody, and he was beaten with a few sticks.
Li Shen said that Ji Wangfu was not bad for money, and Wang Hongfu thought that the price of 2,000 guan was already sky-high and could not be raised again. In the end, Li Shen also deducted Wang Hongfu's bonus money for half a year as a punishment.
With this sale. The price of two thousand yuan for a divine pearl plunged the upper class of Chang'an into madness.
Many nobles are considering whether to sell it. In fact, they also thought about what to do if Galava didn't come back.
It's just that in the current situation, Shenzhu is already a symbol of status and wealth.
Many people want to buy the Divine Beads, especially some royal relatives who are far away, they are far away from Chang'an, and they got the news relatively late, so they didn't have time to buy them.
Many princes and nobles sent people to Chang'an to see if they could buy a few divine beads.
Nowadays, the nobles of Chang'an will wear divine beads when traveling, or inlaid jewelry, or hang them around their waists.
If there is no divine bead as a dowry for a noble wedding, it will be looked down upon as a marriage without a house in later generations.
And they also thought that even if Galava didn't come back, it would be worth it. At least there are still so many princes and nobles who want to buy it, and they can still avoid evil.
After that, there were several stories in Chang'an, and the Shenzhu sought good fortune to avoid evil, such as a businessman who accidentally fell into the water, and he thought that he would drown if he didn't know how to water, but he didn't expect him to float up and float to the shore.
Or maybe the business I wanted to do, but suddenly the person started to feel uncomfortable, and the business didn't work out, but later I learned that the person was a liar.
There are cases of natural and man-made disasters, and what they say is reasonable and well-founded, and there are witnesses and material evidence, which makes people believe in it.
The summary is one sentence, with the divine beads, you can turn evil into good fortune and become auspicious.
Shenzhu made all the people of the upper class crazy about the pearl, and wealthy merchants from all over the country sent people to Chang'an. If you want to get a divine pearl, who doesn't want to enjoy the glory in peace.
The price of Shenzhu was driven by the Ji Wangfu and the family, and the price began to rise little by little. On the last day of November in the sixteenth year of Zhenguan, it reached 2,500 pieces, and it is still priceless.
Today's study of Li Shen in the Ji Wangfu
In addition to Li Shen, Li Shen's three principals are all there. Wang Hongfu in business, Wang Xuance in foreign affairs, and Xue Rengui, military governor.
These people let Li Shen cultivate can be alone, there is no way not to block alone, Li Shen only tells you how to do it in the early stage, and the rest is for you to play yourself.
This person will do anything at a certain time, and Li Shen is an idler, who is the shopkeeper.
"Come, sit down." Li Shen said with a smile on his face
After Li Shen asked everyone to sit down, Chunxiang next to him began to make tea. Now these handmaidens around Li Shen are on the rise.
"It's been a great time for the three of you this year. Don't worry, this king will not treat you badly, so let's talk about the situation. Lao Wang, you say first, "The Lao Wang that Li Shen said refers to Wang Hongfu."
"Lord Wang, our business is very good this year, and the accounts are already beginning to be calculated. Especially the wine and paper..... "Wang Hongfu was about to report when he was interrupted by Li Shen
"Okay, okay, you can report these to Wu Mei. Compile the accounts and give it to her, and she'll report back to me. My head hurts when I hear it. "Li Shen is a lazy person.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to aspire to become an idle prince, and he started to do it himself because the people below wouldn't. Now that the pattern has been formed, of course he has to be lazy.
As soon as he heard these things, his brain hurt, and now Wu Mei is his right-hand man, Wu Mei is very talented in business management. Each time it was summarized and reported to him by Wu Mei.
