Chapter 28 Carriage Pricing

Su Can squinted his eyes in the carriage and said, "This car is so comfortable. Compared to the original carriage, it is really hard and there is no need to bump again."

Butler Qin smiled and said, "This official Chai is still very good, not as perverse as the rumor."

Su Can pointed to the coachman on the front of the carriage, and immediately Lao Qin said, "Sir, look at Master Chai's hard work, just accept the carriage."

"Okay, Master Chai is loyal and commendable. However, this official is honest. Since the endorsement fee is a carriage, these two white horses must be returned to Master Chai." Su Can touched the few beards that were optional on his chin and said.

"Yes, let's go back now. We have been riding for several miles. There is nothing to say about this car." Butler Qin arranged for the coachman to rush back. When he returned to the government office, Chai Jin and Zhou Fu were waiting at the door.

Su Can got out of the car and said, "Official Chai, why are you waiting at the door? Go back to the house to have tea."

Chai Jin looked up at the sky and found that it was already very dark, and it was probably over 8 o'clock in the evening.

"Sir, it's not too early, Chai Jin took his leave." Chai Jin said.

"Okay, then let's not leave the Grand Official Chai. In recent days, the hills and mountains in the south of the city have caused tiger damage, which has hurt many merchants. There are still several hunters who cannot be captured. I am worried. I have left the carriage. I will arrange for the coachman to run around the city often and make you famous for your Chaijiazhuang. These two white horses are also asked to take back by the Grand Official. This official is honest and does not take the people one needle or another."

"The mountains in the south of the city are causing tiger damage? I wonder how many tigers are there?" Chai Jin asked.

Butler Qin sighed and said, "One tiger will eat several people, but it will be fine if it were two tigers."

Chai Jin bowed his farewell, and did not politely. He asked the coachman to unload two white horses and led a few people back.

Today I went to Lord Su's mansion. Zhou Fu didn't say a word in the whole process, just watched from the side.

Chai Jin asked: "Shopkeeper Zhou, how do you see Lord Su?"

Zhou Fu thought for a while and said, "Mr. Su came from a prominent family and had no idea about his talent and character. It seems that he wanted to show off his strength in Cangzhou. Butler Qin's eyes were profound and he was a person with great wisdom."

Chai Jin smiled and said, "These two are not simple. Manager Zhou is careful to deal with it, but there is no pressure. You should know that Chai is surnamed Chai in Cangzhou."

Zhou Fu looked at Chai Jin riding on the horse and inexplicably felt that the boss had changed. Although he was still a brocade hat and sable fur, he now had a faint sense of domineering spirit. Chai, the surname of Cangzhou, how big is this tone?

When he returned to Zuixianlou, Chai Jin and Zhou Fu discussed until midnight. Zuixianlou had to open two more stores, and there was a carriage shop and a department store to prepare, especially the carriage shop, the faster the better.

Zhou Fu attaches great importance to the luxury four-wheeled carriage, saying: "When this kind of carriage is released, high-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen will probably flock to it. But how much is the right price to sell?"

"How much does it feel to Manager Zhou?" Chai Jin asked back.

"I want me to tell you, if there is only this one, it will be not expensive to sell 5,000 taels of silver. But the owner said that it was mass-produced, so it would not work. The price is not that high, but it cannot be lower. How does the owner feel if one thousand taels?"

Chai Jin thought for a while and said, "One thousand taels, the price is low. You must know that our wheels and frames are all high-tech, and none of the craftsmen in the Song Dynasty can make them. Let's do this, sell 1,500 cars, and sell ten cars per month. You have to book them after selling them, and you have to pay the order. It is said that it is a restricted sale, but in fact, it has to sell them, which is to give these rich people a signal, and there are not many cars."

Zhou Fu looked confused and asked, "Master, what do you mean by high technology?"

"For example, the wheels of other vehicles are made of wood, ours are made of steel, and they are equipped with springs and steel plates to absorb shock. If others can't do it, we can do it, which is called high technology." Chai Jin explained.

Zhou Fu said: "It should be no big problem. Although there are few rich people in Cangzhou Prefecture, there are always rich people."

"Don't worry about whether they are rich or not, what we want is to create is that people who ride four-wheeled carriages like us are rich and powerful. We must promote the brand and this is the effect. Go back and design a logo and give it to me as the brand of our Chai family carriage." Chai Jin arranged.

"Okay, don't worry, the owner of the house, I will arrange someone to design tomorrow."

Zhou Fu is an old shopkeeper, with rich experience. No need to say anything about Chai Jin, he can do it properly when looking for a house or opening a shop.

The next morning, just dawn, Chai Yong and others were training in the backyard. Chai Jin changed into a strong outfit and came over and said, "Chai Yong, take the guy and follow me out of the city."

"What, you want to fight?" Chai Yong asked.

"Fight? No, let's go out to the Tumo Mountain to fight tigers." Chai Jin smiled.

"What, hit the tiger?" Chai Yong was shocked.

"Why, are you afraid of hitting a tiger?"

Chai Yong said: "How is it possible? Just a tiger, set off right away."

After two months of rigorous training by Chai Jin, this group of people have basically been transformed, from the level of a family farmer to the level of half a special forces soldier, and the cold weapon killing is quite good.

The group of eleven people set out, left the Dongcheng Gate and first took the wild boar spear in storage, and then went straight to the Tumo Mountain.

There are few local mountains in Cangzhou, but there are many ridges and mounds. The so-called mound mountain is just a big bunch of soil. The forests on this mountain are very lush, with various wild fruit trees, black pine trees, shrubs and trees, and pheasant and boars appearing in it. I have never heard of tigers on this mound mountain in the past. It is obvious that they have just arrived.

A huge forest appeared in front of it, which cost at least a few thousand acres. This is the hill of mounds. A huge sign next to the official road said that there was a tiger warning here. The general idea was to let the merchants pass by at noon and not pass by at night. However, the tiger painted the round head and brain, and it was a little cute.

Chai Jin and others dismounted, and the others stayed, with only Chai Yong.

The other guards said: "Master, just leave one person to watch the horse, let's go together."

Chai Jin said: "I want you to go there together, but the tiger is not stupid. When he sees the murderous intent of the people, will it still dare to come out? Keep here and wait for the news."

The two of them walked in with wild boar spears and a fat chicken.

Not long after traveling, it was already an ancient wood wolf forest with tall trees.

While I was just in the middle of the journey, I suddenly heard someone shouting, "Where did you come from? You have to pass by and wait for noon. At this morning, it's time for tigers to come for food. You two should go back."

Chai Jin looked up and saw that there were two hunters sitting on the tree. The two were not young, about twenty years old, and were obviously the ones sent by the government to guard the intersection to catch the tiger.

Chai Jin said: "We share the worries of the prefect, and we are here to catch the tiger."

"I advise you to go back early. Although the reward of 2,000 guan is good, there were three hunters who were seriously injured yesterday. This tiger is extraordinary, very large and fierce. Generally, bows and arrows cannot hurt it." said an older hunter.

Chai Jin asked, "What do you call two little brothers?"

"My two are from Liujia Village. My name is Liu Xiongda. This is my younger brother Liu Xionger." The person introduced that someone actually called such a funny name. Chai Lin thought that Xiong Daxionger was still bald.

"So that's it. Thank you for your kindness. Let's relax. We are fully prepared. We will wait for us to capture the tiger later and ask you to help carry it back to the city." Chai Jin said as he and Chai Yong entered the mountain.

Looking at the backs of the two of them entering the mountain, Liu Xionger said: "Xiongda, why don't you stop them?"

"Hey, each family has its own difficulties. Maybe they both need money in urgent need. Let's wait on the tree. Maybe these two people will come back by themselves in a while." Liu Xiongda said.
