"Boss Shi, are you okay?" Liu Xiangqin was surprised when he saw Shi Mingtao's face was pale and dumbfounded. Boss Shi, what's wrong with you?
Shi Mingtao thought, "Do I look like I'm fine?"
I was so scared that I almost peed myself.
Forcibly suppressing the panic in his heart, he said cautiously, "I don't dare to hide it from you two. I do have some cotton and cotton stuff in stock, but not much..."
"How many?" Liu Xiangqin asked.
"It seems to weigh several thousand kilograms, and there are one or two thousand pieces of cotton." Shi Mingtao said hurriedly.
"If I only need this little bit, I don't have to come to you, Boss Shi. We all don't tell secrets. What do you mean by hiding it like this? Are you afraid that we won't steal it from you?" Liu Xiangqin asked curiously.
.
Shi Mingtao thought to himself, "Isn't it just that I'm afraid you'll snatch me away?"
I don’t believe you don’t know who your elder brother is!
What I do is a shady business. If he tries to take advantage of me, I will really have no way to deal with it.
There was no point in looking for the Queen Mother, because she was going to Yanyunping to kill the birds... Before she left, she wanted to make another big fortune.
So damn unlucky.
If Xiao Chen knew that he had such a bad reputation now, he would definitely be very surprised...
"Boss Shi, we are here to sincerely want to do business with you, so you don't have to worry. Moreover, I think this is not a one-time deal, and we may have long-term cooperation in the future." Liu Xiangqin said and took out a
A banknote and a bill of goods were placed on the table.
"Here are two hundred thousand taels of silver. Just prepare the goods according to the inventory. But we have to ask Boss Shi to help us deliver them outside Yanyunguan. Winter is coming in northern Xinjiang. How can the soldiers fight against the enemy if they don't have enough warm clothes?"
What about combat? So I ask Boss Shi to ship the goods as soon as possible."
"So Mr. Xiao really wants to buy it?" Shi Mingtao let out a long breath, feeling quite embarrassed. Then I am judging a gentleman with a villain's heart.
"What else?" Liu Xiangqin stared with a pair of innocent eyes. You don't think we want you for nothing, do you?
Brother Xiao is not that kind of person!
Besides, if you are here to rob, can you send us two little girls? We are afraid of scaring you, so we don’t dare to let Xiao Ye in...
"How about I tell them to prepare the goods immediately?" Since it was business, Shi Mingtao's tone became more relaxed, and he was definitely serious about business.
The reputation of those in his profession is as high as the sky. No matter who the buyer is, as long as they pay money, they must deliver it to their doorstep!
Otherwise, if he smashes it once, who will dare to look for him in the future?
"I'm not busy at this moment." Liu Xiangqin smiled, "It's rare to see Boss Shi. I still have many things I want to ask you for advice."
"What other orders do you have, Master?" Shi Mingtao glanced at Liu Xiangqin, "How rude. You haven't asked the two Masters their names yet?"
"My surname is Liu." Naturally, it was inconvenient to tell him Liu Xiangqin's maiden name.
"My name is Duan Ling'er." Duan Ling'er doesn't care about her maiden name. Girl, I can't change my name, but I can't change my surname!
"Oh, it turns out it's Aunt Duan... Mr. Duan, I've heard of you for a long time!" Shi Mingtao naturally saw at a glance that these two women were disguised as men, but he saw through it without telling them.
He has naturally heard of Duan Ling'er. It is said that Lord Xiao Chenxiao has only one girl like this. He is usually very doting on her. I heard that she is quite domineering and walks sideways in the palace...
But I really don’t know this girl named Liu.
None of this is important. What's important is that it seems that Xiao Chen is really sincere in doing business with him. He even sent his sister.
Then we can talk in depth for a while.
Why didn't he suspect that these two people were from the government who came to fish, or were people with ulterior motives pretending to be Xiao Chen and came to defraud them?
It's not necessary.
Because he is the nephew of the Queen Mother, many people in the government know his true identity, but they do not dare to come and harass him. After offending the Queen Mother, do you want to risk your life?
Besides, he has already taken care of those key and powerful figures in advance.
As for someone pretending to be Xiao Chen? It's impossible. Who is so bold as to impersonate his name?
Do you still want to die?
"I also have a cargo list here for Boss Shi to review." Liu Xiangqin took out another piece of paper and handed it to Shi Mingtao.
"Iron pots, earthen pots, porcelain bowls, needlework, tea, soybean oil, soy sauce, gold and silver jewelry, silk and satin, iron plows... pigs?" Shi Mingtao took a quick look and was shocked. It was not Mr. Xiao, he was thinking
What is he going to do?
Do you want to do business with my boss, or do you want to do business with Xianbo Mojie and the others?
These are all materials in short supply in the north, and many of them are embargoed by the imperial court!
Why do you think the Xianbo people went south in large numbers just to plunder these things? It would be better for you to send them to others?
After being surprised, my anus tightened again, and I suddenly realized that I seemed to have stepped onto a pirate ship!
Because Xiao Chen's purpose for asking for these things is definitely not for his own use, but to give them to or sell them to the Xianbo people.
In other words, Xiao Chen was probably ready to negotiate with the Xianbo people, and the emperor sent him to fight.
The magnitude of the matter far exceeded Shi Mingtao's imagination.
He really shouldn't look at this manifest...
"Before I came to see you, Boss Shi, I naturally got to know you a little bit. I have a good reputation. They all said that Boss Shi, you are a very trustworthy businessman and a person who can do great things. Even our Xiao
My eldest brother praised you as a good man, so I came to see you." Liu Xiangqin said nice things, but smiled like a little fox.
"Even I don't know how big this business can be in the future, but as long as we continue to do it, within three years, I'm afraid you, Boss Shi, will make a lot of money! Not to mention being as rich as the country, I'm afraid if I buy this
Fengyang City is not a problem, hehehe..."
I have to say that when Liu Xiangqin smiles, she has two dimples hanging on her cheeks. She is really indescribably cute.
But in Shi Mingtao's opinion, this is really terrible!
Whether we can become rich enough to rival the country is not a question. The question is whether my boss can survive until that time!
"I've heard of a saying that wealth can be gained through risk! Your boss, Shi, is already so rich, so he shouldn't be afraid of taking risks, right?" Each word gradually became more and more heartbreaking.
"Actually, what I said is superfluous. You, Boss Shi, are a hero. You do business that others dare not do... Actually, this business is not risky at all. As long as you, Boss Shi, don't tell anyone, who can?"
Do you know? But if someone finds out, it seems that it would be inappropriate for you and me." Liu Xiangqin's threat became more and more obvious.
It made Shi Mingtao's hair stand on end.
Because what Liu Xiangqin meant was that if you, Boss Shi, leaked this matter, the consequences would be quite serious.
"Actually, we don't have to ask you for this transaction. You probably don't know that, right? The emperor has appointed my eldest brother as the governor of Yanyun County. He has the final say in the eighteen states of Yanyun, so all materials entering Yanyun County in the future
, it all depends on my eldest brother’s permission.”
