Chapter 116: Poyang’s prosperous family, the shopkeeper’s joy
Passing through the layers of houses, in a garden to the north, a man in purple brocade clothes was looking at the koi carps in the pond.
These koi include precious gold and silver scales, red and white koi, and even the rare Taisho three colors, dragon and phoenix koi, etc. The purchase price of this pond of koi alone is probably over one million.
huge.
This man in brocade is the famous Sheng Yongde, the head of the Sheng family who now claims to control half of the business in the Song Dynasty!
"Sir, shopkeeper Zheng wants to see you!" A pretty maid hurriedly came over and said to Sheng Yongde.
Sheng Yongde came to his senses and said, "Ask him to wait for me in the tea room..."
Shopkeeper Zheng is the big shopkeeper in charge of the porcelain business of the Sheng family. Although the Sheng family's porcelain business is not as good as that of the Shao family, it is still very important. Naturally, the big shopkeeper wants to see him because he has something important to do.
Sprinkling the fish food in his hand into the pond, Sheng Yongde turned around and walked towards the tea room. Although the fish that were fighting were precious, they were just playthings. No matter how much he liked them, they were not worthy of him.
Things that delay business.
Entering the tea room, an old man in blue robe quickly stood up and saluted Sheng Yongde.
Sheng Yongde said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work, Shopkeeper Zheng. Did you come to this time and get the result of the attack on the Shao family porcelain kiln?"
The two sat across from each other, and shopkeeper Zheng said respectfully: "Thanks to the family master's planning, there were many arrangements first. Therefore, during this period of time, we not only purchased a large amount of red clay, but also many kilns of the Shao family."
Lord, all the craftsmen are also relying on my Sheng family. Although this is not enough for my Sheng family's porcelain business to catch up with the Shao family's, it is not difficult to increase our share by one or two percent in the end."
"good!"
Sheng Yongde laughed loudly, "However, shopkeeper Zheng still needs to be careful about my niece Mu Yu!"
"Brother Tongguang is blessed. Although his sons are useless, Mu Yu has actually supported the Shao family's business, and it is still booming. It's a pity that none of my unfaithful sons can compare with Mu Yu's niece! Otherwise,
I've reached the age where I can have a grandson, so why do I still have to work so hard?"
Regarding this issue, shopkeeper Zheng naturally did not dare to say anything. He just smiled a few words and left in a hurry.
After Shopkeeper Zheng left, Sheng Yongde took a sip of tea and sighed, "If... if that disaster hadn't happened back then, Silian would have been as big as Mu Yu's girl! Alas, Bei
Although the land is good, it is a sad place for me. How could I set foot there again..."
Porcelain, like raw silk and tea, are all high-end products of the Song Dynasty. Transactions with other countries have always been unfavorable. The Sheng family naturally covets this. However, in this aspect, the Sheng family is inferior to the Shao family.
Therefore, although the Sheng family was jealous, they only made secret arrangements and did not actually take action. Recently, Shao Muyu has been falling in love with Beidi, so the Sheng family naturally seized the opportunity to take action, and indeed achieved great results.
As for the price increase, it was naturally the Sheng family's intention.
Although low prices will attract lower-level buyers, on the other hand, high prices will make objects appear more precious and rare. Otherwise, nobles will not only buy expensive ones but not the right ones.
What's more, it was the Shao family who was purchasing it, and they were secretly fighting with them, so of course they charged a high price.
In the city of Longxing Prefecture, above the busiest market, there is a huge wooden building with the Shengjia signboard flying high above it! This is Shenghe Building, the main porcelain store of the Shengjia!
On the second floor of the shop, shopkeeper Zheng nodded with satisfaction as he looked at the accounts in his eyes. The top shopkeepers of the Sheng family each took charge of their own business. However, because the porcelain business was not prosperous in the Sheng family, he, the top shopkeeper, was inferior to those who controlled the tea and silk businesses.
For big shopkeepers, it is always one or two steps lower.
"Haha, it won't be long before I can become one of the top shopkeepers in the Sheng family." Shopkeeper Zheng smiled with satisfaction.
A boy walked in quickly and saluted Shopkeeper Zheng and said, "Shopkeeper, a barbarian from the north is here and wants to buy some porcelain from Shenghelou!"
"Do you still need to tell me some minor things?" Shopkeeper Zheng said with a frown.
The boy lowered his head slightly and said, "Shopkeeper, the barbarian said that the purchase volume is huge and he wants to discuss with the shopkeeper!"
The shopkeeper nodded and walked downstairs. Sure enough, a man who looked like a Northland barbarian was standing downstairs waiting, and outside the door, there were several Northland warriors following him.
"I wonder what kind of porcelain your guest wants to buy?" Shopkeeper Zheng asked the barbarian.
The barbarian glared, "Are you the shopkeeper of the Sheng family? The quantity of porcelain I want to purchase is huge. I don't know if your Sheng family can support it."
Shopkeeper Zheng smiled and said, "Sir, my Sheng family has a huge business. No matter how big the business is, I will naturally do it. However, there is something unclear about Zheng, and I hope you can explain it."
Without waiting for the barbarian to answer, shopkeeper Zheng said: "Is the guest visitor a golden man?"
"That's right!" the barbarian replied, "Why, you can't do business with my golden man?"
Shopkeeper Zheng shook his head, "Of course I did! Although the two countries are at war, the business has no impact, right? However, as far as Zheng knows, your Northland porcelain business has always been in cooperation with the Shao family. No.
Do you know how you found my Sheng family?"
The barbarian stomped his feet in displeasure, "Of course I, Zhuolute, am not a fool. If it weren't for the fact that the Shao family couldn't make it in time, how could I have run to your Longxing Mansion?"
After being explained by the barbarian, shopkeeper Zheng understood. Zhuolute had a porcelain business, and he had gone to the Shao family first. However, this business was not small, and the Shao family's porcelain production was in
Due to the impact of his own family, the output has been greatly reduced. In addition, the business is very urgent, and the barbarian in front of him has just arrived at the Sheng family.
Thinking of this, shopkeeper Zheng couldn't help but feel hot in his heart. Isn't this exactly what he expected?
"Sir, please come upstairs and we will discuss it in detail!"
The Master came to the tea room on the second floor. After the waiter served tea, shopkeeper Zheng smiled and asked, "I wonder what the guest wants to buy and how much is the quantity?"
The barbarian drank the hot tea in the cup like a cow chewing peonies, and then handed a piece of rice paper to shopkeeper Zheng.
Shopkeeper Zheng opened it and was shocked when he saw it. The quantity purchased by this barbarian was so huge! There were so many pieces scattered here and there, wouldn't there be more than 10,000 items in total?
Putting down the rice paper without leaving a trace, shopkeeper Zheng asked: "I wonder when the guest will do the transaction?"
"One month!" Manzi said immediately.
Shopkeeper Zheng frowned, "The time is a little tight..."
Before he finished speaking, Manzi sarcastically said, "If I hadn't been pressed for time, would I have found your Sheng family? It seems that your Sheng family is not worthy of its name, so my trip was in vain." After that,
