Jun Ruoxu saw that Huo Xi was a woman, and without even a word of refutation or complaint, he took the batch of old tea from him without hesitation.
After purchasing all the items, I thought about it secretly in my mind.
I always felt like he had missed something again.
Huo Xi glanced at him and secretly felt funny.
People are like this. Things that everyone is grabbing are always felt to be treasures. If no one wants it, then I want it myself. Do I feel that I have been taken advantage of? And when I throw it away and others pick it up, I feel that I have missed out.
Something happened, and I felt unwilling to accept it again.
Guessing the other person's thoughts, I couldn't help but say something...
"If not, I will pay for it, and all this batch of tea will belong to the Jun family? This can be regarded as resolving the misunderstanding between me and the Jun family. My eldest brother has protected the people of Yunnan for my husband these years, and my husband and I have stayed in the capital all year round.
I feel deeply ashamed to have the title of a prince and a wife. Thanks to the Jun family for taking care of my eldest brother these years, I can just borrow flowers to offer to the Buddha."
How could Jun Ruoxu dare to agree after hearing this?
He took away this batch of old tea at the expense of the Crown Prince's wife. What kind of person would he become!
Does his Jun family lack this little money? When the time comes, the wealthy families in Kunming City may still laugh at him.
Originally, he was thinking about sharing half of it with Zhang, but after she said that, wouldn't it be a joke if he dared to covet this batch of old tea again?
"Madam, you are trying to offend me. It was my family's failure to investigate in the first place, which caused trouble to Madam and led to such a big misunderstanding. Now Madam has spent money to buy more good horses for the soldiers. How dare I take away Madam's credit?
.”
Absolutely not.
Originally, the Tea Horse Division summoned tea merchants and asked them to collect good tea and at the same time purchase the old tea in the warehouse. One was to raise horse money, and the other was to clear the inventory.
Now the Crown Prince's wife directly said that this extravagance was for the country, the people and the army.
All the officials from the Tea Horse Division turned around to discuss...
Then he said to Huo Xi: "Since no one has raised the price for this batch of old tea, then it will all belong to Madam. We appreciate Madam's thoughtfulness and decided to give this batch of old tea to Madam at the original reserve price of 50 yuan.
"
All the tea merchants nodded, "That's exactly what it should be."
If the guy surnamed Jun hadn't raised the price, it would have been fifty yuan.
Huo Xi declined, "It shouldn't be like this. Just follow the rules. It would be bad if you break the rules."
"this……"
The ambassador and deputy envoys looked at each other and felt that they were reluctant to sell this batch of old tea to the Crown Prince's wife for one hundred and five cents.
One party wanted to sell it at the original price, but Huo Xi's party insisted on buying it at the quoted price. There was a stalemate.
Yi Balang and others suggested: "Since the Jun family doesn't want it, why don't we use the 100 yuan that the Crown Prince's wife raised just now as the price of tea."
Five dollars less? The two ambassadors still felt that the price was too high.
Huo Xi nodded: "Very good. One hundred yuan is my minimum price. If the two ambassadors are willing to take care of it, why don't you let me buy it for a hundred yuan? Can you help me?"
"What did the madam say? It must be the madam who helped us. Then, one hundred dollars?"
"One hundred dollars!"
Witnessed by a group of tea merchants, Huo Xi purchased this batch of 20,000 jins of old tea from Tea Horse at a price of 100 qian and 100 jins.
The money and goods were delivered on the spot.
Xunwu immediately arranged for manpower to load the truck and transport it to the small courtyard rented by the inn.
All the officials of the tea and horse department respectfully sent Huo Xi out of the tea and horse department. The tea merchants also said goodbye to each other at the government office.
"The Crown Prince's wife is truly the best among our generation!"
The tea merchants saw Huo Xi's operation. Although they didn't know what she was using for buying this batch of old tea, whether it was to help the tea horse owner raise the money to buy the horses or for some other purpose, they all saw that the prince's wife was very good at business.
A scene of losing to others.
Although she is a female, she is a real and experienced person in the business world.
"I am over-flattered."
"I'm afraid of delaying the good tea. If we hadn't rushed to the border to barter with the Fan tribe, I would have had a few drinks with my wife."
"It's easy to talk. I hope your trip goes well and you come back safely. If I'm still in Kunming City, I'll be waiting for you at any time."
"Well, I'm happy, Madam, Crown Prince! When we return from the border, we must hand over a greeting card and visit Madam."
Huo Xi nodded and saluted the tea merchants: "You have made contributions to the prosperity of Yunnan and the unity of the Yi and Han people. On behalf of my son, I am deeply grateful to you."
All the tea merchants shunned in panic, "Don't you dare!"
"Mrs. Crown Prince, I've been waiting for you."
I felt very comfortable.
No one has ever said such unforgettable words for merchants. They have always been scolded as profiteers and unjust. But Mrs. Shizi said that they had contributed to the prosperity of Yunnan and the unity of the Yi and Han!
The Crown Prince’s wife is truly a hero among women, and such a Crown Prince’s wife is truly a blessing to the people of Dian.
"Congratulations to the Crown Prince, Madam!"
Jun Ruoxu and Manager Hua watched from the sidelines as Huo Xi was courted by the tea merchants and did not lean in. The Jun family never had to curry favor with anyone.
But it seems that this person named Zhang really cannot be underestimated.
Manager Hua saw Xunwu calling for a trolley to transport the last batch of old tea out of the Tea Horse Company Office. One cart after another, the procession was really dazzling. He felt that he might have been tricked by the man named Zhang again. She had tricked him again.
.
This person named Zhang was a businessman before becoming the Crown Prince's wife.
Businessmen always focus on profits and do not engage in loss-making transactions. Businessmen will not do anything without profit. The man surnamed Zhang must have seen that this batch of old tea is different from the past.
But what's the difference? What else can this old tea do if it's damp and moldy?
Can it really be sold for a big price?
"Young Master, will we be tricked by this man named Zhang?" She got a huge advantage for nothing!
"Um?"
"This batch of old tea seems to be really different from the previous batches. It doesn't seem to smell pungent, but has a floral fragrance. Could it be that this person named Zhang can really turn waste into treasure and make a lot of money?"
Then if they gave this batch of tea to her in the end, wouldn't they suffer another loss?
Jun Ruoxu looked away as she watched Huo Xi being helped into the carriage by a group of maids.
"It's different from the previous batches. However, there are mold grains. We saw it with our own eyes, and it is indeed moldy tea. Can this moldy tea be sold as good tea? No matter how stupid the Yi people are who don't understand human language, they won't know how to spend it.
Go buy it at a big price.”
If you want to make a lot of money, I'm afraid it's just a daydream.
However, he also felt that there must be something wrong with Zhang's behavior. He walked for three days on the mountain road just to buy 20,000 kilograms of old tea and go back? Too much money? Biting his hand?
"I ordered people to watch every move of Zhang. If anything is wrong, report him at any time."
"yes!"
Even if Jun Ruoxu hadn't said anything, Manager Hua would have stared at Huo Xi. He hadn't done what the eldest master had told him yet. He stared at the back of Huo Xi's carriage as he drove away, his eyes flickering.
Back in the small courtyard, Xunwu settled down the purchased old tea and came to see Huo Xi.
"Madam, is there any other use for this batch of old tea?"
Xunwu asked, and everyone gathered around. They were also curious.
I wonder what Madam did when she bought 20,000 kilograms of old tea. Is it really like what Madam said, to raise money to buy horses for the army? Even Mother Ma and Zhufeng, who usually did not move an inch when Mount Tai collapsed, looked over.
"This old tea is a good thing! We missed it again this time!" Huo Xi couldn't hide her happiness.
