After the village chief got the result, he immediately ran out to find Hua Ling: "Sir, your matter of establishing a weaving department in our village has been approved. When will you start to do this?"
"Now, you are responsible for the house. I don't care how much you pay for the money. I only care about receiving the goods. I have given you enough money. If you don't get the goods by then, don't blame me for being rude!" Hua Ling said.
"That's natural! That's natural!" The village chief nodded and bowed. He didn't dare to offend this little rich man and run away. If he was driven away, the people in the village would lose fifty taels of silver a month, and they still wouldn't give him money.
Torn alive?!
Hua Ling handed the design drawing of the loyalty suit to the village chief: "I will send someone to deliver the materials in a moment. I want to see the finished product at noon tomorrow." After that, he handed the village chief a golden ticket: "This is the deposit, you now
Just hurry up and make arrangements, don't delay my affairs."
The village chief excitedly took over the design drawing and a golden ticket. This was the most money he had ever seen in his life: "Thank you very much, sir, I will go and do it right now!"
As he said that, the village chief ran to find someone, even falling several times along the way.
The production and processing work has been completed, but the only problem now is the procurement of raw materials.
Hua Ling looked at the map and saw that the larger market in Yaowang Valley was also marked. Hua Ling chose a market called Ershilipu which was relatively close to Nishang Village and teleported there.
Ershilipu, located in the middle of six or seven surrounding villages and towns, is a commercial thoroughfare. Over time, it has formed a market selling various commodities.
Hua Ling rode horseback to the market in Ershilipu. There were indeed many vendors coming and going. There were stalls on both sides of the street, and there were many shops on the long street.
Hua Ling walked into a restaurant and threw 10 taels of silver on the table: "Waiter, here are two jugs of good wine, and here are some of the specialty dishes!"
: "Hey, here we come!" When the waiter saw the 10 taels of silver on the table, he immediately beamed and said, "Wait a minute, I'll prepare it for you."
After saying that, the waiter ran to make arrangements. After a while, two bottles of good wine and several plates of exquisite hot dishes were served on the table. The waiter nodded and bowed: "Please use it slowly, sir!"
The waiter was about to turn around and do other things, but was stopped by Hua Ling.
: "You are doing the silk and satin business here. What are the famous shops?" Hua Ling asked.
: "You've got to ask the right person. There's nothing I don't know about Shilipu. If you ask this well-known silk and satin shop, the best one is Zhinu Pavilion in the east of the city. The silk and satin there are so slippery.
.The second one is Caixia Pavilion in the west of the city, Jinyi Hall in the north of the city, and Hua Rushang in the south of the city." said the waiter.
"Oh, then go to these silk and satin shops, call all the stewards there, and tell me that there is a big business. What is left of the ten taels of silver just now is your errand money!" Hua Ling said
.
The waiter rolled his eyes and immediately smiled. The table full of food only cost less than 2 taels of silver. The remaining 8 taels were all his own. This was his two months' wages. The waiter immediately said: "Customers
Wait a minute, I'll call them over." After saying that, the waiter ran away in a hurry.
About half an hour later, four well-dressed stewards of the silk shop walked into the restaurant.
In this restaurant, Hua Ling was the only one who wore the most stylish clothes. The four of them exchanged pleasantries with each other first, and then went straight to Hua Ling.
"Excuse me, why are you here to do business with us?" asked a steward in his 40s with a mustache.
When Hua Ling saw that everyone had arrived, he took out a stack of gold tickets from his sleeve and placed them on the table.
Although the four stewards have all seen big money, their eyes couldn't help but twitch when they saw the pile of gold tickets on the table. Isn't this worth 300 or 400 gold bricks?! (One piece
A golden ticket is equal to 100 gold bricks)
: "I came to you this time to order a large quantity of silk and satin. Each of your four silk and satin factories took out their own samples, dyed and undyed samples, and then each quoted a price for each piece of fabric.
Money, you each write an envelope and give it to me. Only the one with the right price can get this deal." Hua Ling pressed his hand on the golden ticket and said.
"May I ask this gentleman, how many pieces of silk satin do you want to order?" asked a 30-year-old female steward.
: "Order 100,000 horses in advance, and there will be more later. If the price is reasonable, it will be a long-term deal." Hua Ling said.
: "100,000 pieces?!" This number scared the four managers. 100,000 pieces of cloth was enough for them to sell for several years.
: "This, I can't make the decision at the next moment. I have to go back and report to the shopkeeper. Please wait a moment." After saying that, a steward directly got on the carriage and left.
The other three people left with the same excuse, and Hua Ling continued to drink and dine, waiting for their quotations.
About half an hour later, each of the four stewards handed over envelopes containing samples and quotations. Hua Ling compared the silk fabrics one by one, and then took out the quotation in the envelope and looked at it.
His way of bidding was a very quick way: he not only made the silk and satin shops value him as a big customer, but also made the four silk and satin shops lower each other's prices because they were afraid of losing him as a customer. In the end, he could get the most reasonable price by spending zero money.
After reading the quotations, Hua Ling compared the quality of the samples provided by each silk and satin shop, thought for a moment and said, "Hua Rushang Silk and Satin Shop got this deal."
Among the four stewards, the 30-year-old female steward immediately smiled brightly, while the other three male stewards lowered their heads and stamped their feet.
A steward of a silk and satin shop asked the woman: "Liu Yuehong, what price did you quote, and why did you get this deal?!"
The female steward named Liu Yuehong said proudly: "Our young boss is quoting 20 taels of silver per horse!"
"Hmph, you're being cruel, let's go!" When the other three stewards heard the price quoted by the woman, they turned around and left.
A piece of cloth is 10 feet long, which is 30 meters, equivalent to 30 square meters. This batch of cloth costs 20 taels of silver, which is equivalent to 70 copper plates for one square meter of silk, which is less than one tael of silver. The other three companies all quoted more than
Of course, there is no way to get this deal for just one tael of silver.
The female steward named Liu Yuehong stepped forward and said, "Sir, our young master would like to invite you to our silk and satin shop."
"That's fine!" Hua Ling said. For such a big deal, it was appropriate for both parties to meet. Hua Ling followed the female steward to Hua Rushang Silk and Satin Shop...
