Not only that, Fang Linyan walked around the entire market at this time, and now foreign goods are out of stock everywhere.
In such an environment, Fang Linyan can negotiate terms with the buyer and directly ask for a one-time upfront payment.
In this way, after Fang Linyan gets the buyer's money, it will be OK to transfer it directly to the Qiao family.
But now the head of the Qiao family and Master Qiao both intend to cooperate with Fang Linyan, which means that the Qiao family can just eat the goods from Fang Linyan.
However, this batch of goods must not be calculated based on yesterday's price. According to Fang Linyan's judgment, before the war between China and Japan ends, imported foreign goods will inevitably continue to rise. This will definitely require a discussion that both sides feel
reasonable price.
Fortunately, both parties were willing to give in at this time and were sincere during the negotiation, so the deal was quickly concluded and a payment date was also agreed upon. Mr. Qiao was too lazy to participate in this kind of thing.
What needs to be done is macro control.
After negotiating the deal, Fang Linyan suddenly remembered something and looked at the smiling shopkeeper in front of him, and said curiously:
"After I left yesterday, my seventh uncle must have said a lot of bad things about me."
When Fang Linyan said this, the shopkeeper showed an awkward yet polite smile and said:
"Well, I have something else to do here. Please sit down for a moment."
Watching the big shopkeeper leave, Fang Linyan secretly laughed in his heart and said that this seventh uncle probably has no lower limit for what he can do. The big shopkeeper had something to say and couldn't say anything directly. He looked around and saw a waiter next to him.
The apprentice next to him.
Apprentices like this from the Qiao family are all born into the family, and are assigned to serve as interns in various shops. Because the loyalty of such people is much more reliable than that of outside clerks, they will be of great use in the future, so there are many
They will be involved in confidential matters.
So Fang Linyan said to the younger brother:
"What is this brother's name?"
The little brother said:
"My surname is Wu."
Fang Linyan smiled and said:
"Why did the big shopkeeper leave immediately when I mentioned my seventh uncle? Did I violate some taboo?"
Brother Wu's face immediately showed an expression of wanting to laugh but not daring to laugh. He waved his hands repeatedly and said:
"A taboo for the venerable, a taboo for the venerable"
Fang Linyan chuckled and handed over a pack of Hardman cigarettes:
"To tell you the truth, brother, this old man has always been against me at home. He is petty and relies on his old age. I am really annoyed by him. If brother can tell me in detail about his ugly behavior, I can at least get rid of him.
happy."
Brother Wu was originally a young man. After rejecting Fang Linyan's cigarette, he looked around and started talking:
"Hey, I've seen a lot of shameless people, but this is the first time I've seen such a thick-skinned person. At that time, the third master had already served tea to see the guests off, but he still refused to leave and had to follow the third master.
I had a drink in the nearby Victory Building and showed my face, and I was so full of flattery that we almost couldn’t stand listening anymore.”
Fang Linyan said enthusiastically:
"What flattery?"
Brother Wu said:
"Oh, that's really what I said. He gave me goosebumps after hearing it. One moment he said that the third master's words were like enlightenment to him, as if he was a new parent. The next moment he said that if he didn't dislike it, he would be willing to worship the third master as his godfather.
I even heard that the third master already had two concubines in his family, so he directly came up and said that the daughter in the family was stunning and was willing to be the third master’s maidservant.”
After hearing these words, Fang Linyan suddenly realized that he had underestimated the lower limit of Uncle Qi. He couldn't help but think of Uncle Qi's previous words:
"The third master of the Qiao family insisted on staying with me to drink tea and chat. He also said that a chat with you is better than studying for ten years, and he also insisted on dragging me to the De Sheng Building for a drink."
Fang Linyan pondered for a moment and said:
"Actually, it's like this. My seventh uncle said that your chief steward insisted on persuading him to sell him the batch of soap imported from France. He seemed to be sighing and feeling very annoyed."
Brother Wu widened his eyes and said:
"This is really nonsense! It was obviously Mr. Hu who heard that our family was receiving foreign goods at a price that was slightly higher than 10%, and tried every means to get it! He also said that he would like to have tea with us (to play with our husband), and he said
It’s the bartender in Bada Hutong.”
"As a result, we sent someone to check and found out that there was something wrong with the batch of goods he had. They were picked out from the whole batch two months ago! How dare you accept this?"
Fang Linyan also knew at this time that the so-called bulk cargo meant that during long-distance shipping, there would always be a batch of defective products. This was originally within the scope of transportation loss. As long as it was not too much, the cargo owner would not care about it.
Of course, most of these defective products are valuable, so they belong to the ship owner.
When there are too many defective products, the ship owner will take out all the miscellaneous items he has accumulated and find someone to round them up. They will not be sold at retail, so they are also called whole goods.
So Fang Linyan nodded and said:
"That's right, this thing definitely can't be collected."
Brother Wu said:
"Later, when we inquired about it, it turned out that this gentleman was going to Beijing to take the exam under the guise of going to Beijing to take the exam. Even if he brought his family here, he would engage in prostitution and gambling. He would never review his books and just hang out in the land of fireworks all day long."
"Once in a casino, I met Mr. Beile, who liked to wear a hundred-pin clothes. I took out this batch of goods and priced them at 8,000 taels of silver and bet with him. In the end, your man actually won, so this batch of goods
It came into his hand."
"Later, they heard that there were a lot of disputes. In the end, it seemed that most of the goods belonged to Mr. Beile. The key is that Mr. Beile also blackmailed him and didn't take the goods away. He just gave them to him.
He came out with cash. Your seventh master is in a hurry to get rid of this thing, probably because he wants to get rid of this piece of dog-skin plaster."
Fang Linyan said:
"Then why did you accept his goods in the end?"
Brother Wu said:
"When our Qiao family does business, we never sell defective goods. What's more, this batch of goods is in big trouble. Of course, he will be confiscated."
"It's just that at 11 o'clock today, the whole market seems to be a little impetuous because our family is eating a lot of foreign goods, and many stores are reluctant to sell."
"Then Hu Jinya also came to the door. It is said that this man is one of the Eight Generals of Qianmenxia. His ways are very wild, and he still respects the rules for us. He asked us if there is any way to buy foreign goods here."
"Not long ago, our store owed Hu Jinya a favor, so we clearly told him the ins and outs of this batch of goods, and then gave us our judgment that foreign goods will continue to rise. If you are interested, we can help you
Make an appointment to talk."
After hearing this, Fang Linyan understood and smiled:
"Damn it, Uncle Qi, this old guy, really doesn't have a word of truth in his mouth! What happened next?"
Brother Wu said:
"I didn't know it later. Hu Jinya was a very wild person. At that time, he just hesitated and nodded and agreed to the big shopkeeper to build a bridge. Later, the two of them must have reached an agreement, because I just heard that Hu Jinjia's dental fees were paid.
Account."
The dental fee is the intermediary fee at this time, also known as the channel fee. At that time, even for a first-class wealthy businessman like the Qiao family, the channel fee was only 15%. I guess they did not expect that it would cost more than 100%.
Years later, some channel fees can even reach an insane 82 cents or even 91 cents.
Alas, from this aspect, times are really going backwards.
Fang Linyan was already well aware of this at this time. Hu Xueming came to block him. He must have thought that he had sold these foreign goods at a good price and finally managed to get out of the trap. However, not long after he went out, he saw the news of a war on the sea.
, suddenly like a bolt from the blue.
The key is that Hu Xueming is probably only a small shareholder in this batch of goods, and Mr. Baylor is the major shareholder. Based on the current market price, the price of the batch of soaps sold by Hu Xueming will at least triple. How can Mr. Baylor do this?
Maybe give up?
You know, this kind of person is going to make three-foot waves even if there is no wind, let alone being caught by him and making some sense?
After understanding the reason, Fang Linyan stood up and raised his hands to Brother Wu:
"Thanks for clearing up the confusion. I owe Brother Wu a favor! Talk to me if you have any questions!"
The people who can hang out here are all top-notch people. They know that Fang Linyan has a good relationship with the third master of the Qiao family, so they give him face. So this is what he was waiting for. Brother Wu hurriedly smiled and said:
"Sixth Young Master is serious! It's nothing more than a few idle words."
***
After walking out of Qiao's store, it was already dark again. Fang Linyan stood here waiting for the rickshaw. At this time, he looked around and saw that there was no one he knew, so he whispered to Laurent:
"Grandma, if you have the chance, help me find out what I did before and how I became so infamous. The key is that I don't know about it at all. This makes me very embarrassed."
Laurent showed a knowing smile on his face and said:
"Okay, by the way, sir, we should leave for the Victory Building now. You have made a dinner appointment with the boss of the escort agency. It's not good to be late."
Fang Linyan was obviously not used to the title "Boss of the Escort Agency" for a while. It took him a while to realize that he should be talking about Big Sword King Wu.
At this time, they were in a hurry. Two mature men were sitting in a rickshaw, fearing that the driver would be exhausted. When they saw two rickshaws passing by, they waved them over, one person got on one, and ordered them to be taken to Desheng Tower.
This afternoon was still quite tiring for Fang Linyan. In addition, he finally completed a "big project", which must have made him feel happy, so he closed his eyes and began to concentrate.
But after about ten minutes, Fang Linyan suddenly felt that something was wrong. The wind around him felt a bit cold and biting! He suddenly became vigilant. This was the capital city in late July and early August! It was necessary to sit still and do nothing.
It’s the season to sweat!
Fang Linyan suddenly opened his eyes. He looked through the gap in the door curtain in front of him and his pupils shrank. He didn't know when he was being pulled into a wilderness.
The surrounding area looked extremely desolate, filled with numerous barren graves, and there was a forest next to it, with dots of will-o'-the-wisps shining in it. Not only that, what I could smell in my nose was a strong smell of rotting corpses, and I could actually hear it in my ears.
There was a chirping ghost sound.
Laurent, who was riding in another car, was nowhere to be seen!
"How could this be possible!"
Fang Linyan was shocked and angry in his heart. "My perception has been forcibly suppressed by the world, so I wouldn't have been moved from the capital to here in a few minutes without any awareness!"
At this critical moment, the rickshaw driver continued to pull Fang Linyan deeper into the cemetery. At this time, Fang Linyan was too lazy to say anything and kicked the bamboo curtain that was lowered in front of him!
As a result, after he kicked up, he actually felt a strong counter-shock force coming from the front. Not only that, faint blue flames actually "roasted" from the bamboo curtain, and then, there were actually flames on the car body.
Several talismans suddenly shone, and eight words were written on them:
"Support the Qing Dynasty and destroy the foreign countries, and do justice for heaven!"
Then the talisman burst into flames, and as the strange blue flames quickly spread into the body of the rickshaw, Fang Linyan was trapped inside.
After seeing those eight words, Fang Linyan immediately sneered and said:
"It turns out it's you evil cult monsters who are pretending to be gods!"
At this time, the truth suddenly came to Fang Linyan's mind. Da Dao Wang Wu had said before that he had left something to do with killing Tie Butterfly Duan Fei. This fellow's senior brother was the senior senior brother of Qianzi Sect in Xiangjiao.
, called Li Ju!
Li Biao was both good and evil, and acted in extreme ways. The Big Sword King Wu Hui came out to trouble Fang Linyan because he owed Li Ju a favor when he was an escort.
At this time, the Xiang Sect was a mixed bag. Just a women's organization, it was divided into red lamp group, black lamp group, flower lamp group, green lamp group, etc.
Hong Leng Zhao recruits ordinary women, and it is said that they teach them invulnerable talismans, spells and other spells.
Black Lantern Zhao only accepts widows, and all they learn are spells such as cursing enemies, nightmares, paper figurines, etc.
The lanterns are prostitutes, prostitutes, etc. They are mainly responsible for intelligence.
The green light is on. Hey, everyone can take a guess. I will put the answer in tomorrow’s Easter egg chapter.
Not only that, there are even people from the White Lotus Sect who have joined the Xiang Sect, so there are a lot of sorcery and demons spread in it, and good things can cause harm to people's hearts.
After taking a deep breath, Fang Linyan reached out and pointed at the curtain hanging in front of him and pressed it directly. A shrill scream suddenly came from the curtain.
Immediately afterwards, he saw a huge hourglass illusion appearing behind Fang Linyan. The hourglass reversed in an instant, and the sand inside began to flow back strangely.
Sands of Time!!
Then the strange door curtain began to change color rapidly, then began to decay, scattering dust, and then collapsed and fell down. Under the powerful power of the artifact, the time node of this strange door curtain was instantly destroyed.
