The strangely dressed man casually took out a green transparent irregular object and said: "These glass materials are all real. You can inspect them. Just ask someone to process them. It doesn't take much effort, and it will be a good piece of glass."
If we were not in urgent need of money, we would definitely process it ourselves and not sell it to you."
The shop assistant looked at him with a puzzled look and asked, "You just..., that's not what you said."
The businessman from Fanbang was stunned and asked: "Then, why am I talking?"
"That's what I said." The shop clerk twitched the corner of his mouth, and after saying that, he immediately closed his mouth.
He was worried that if he continued to talk to him, he would end up talking like that in the future.
Shopkeeper Ma didn't pay attention to the conversation between the two. All his attention was on the piece of glass in his hand. After a moment, he looked away, took a deep breath, and asked: "How much is the piece of glass in your hand worth?"
geometry?"
The man weighed the glass in his hand and said, "Three thousand taels."
"Three thousand taels?" Shopkeeper Ma smiled and said, "If what you are holding is a real piece of glassware, three thousand taels is not expensive, but this is just a blank. How can it be worth three thousand taels?"
"As you are in this business, you should know that it doesn't cost much money to make a glassware." The Fanbang merchant started to say something, then paused, looked at the man next to him, and then said: "The important thing is the raw materials.
..., three thousand taels, not expensive."
"I'm in the blank material business, so I naturally know the rules of this industry." Boss Ma smiled and said, "There are risks involved in carving ingredients into jewelry. How about a fixed price of two thousand taels?"
"We have a lot of colored glaze, and we wanted to find someone worthy of cooperation." The man shook his head, took the colored glaze in his hand, turned around and left. When he reached the door, he turned back and said: "Since you are not sincere,
,We ,find someone else.”
At the door, a middle-aged man stopped him and said with a smile: "Wait a minute, wait a minute, our Xu family is also in this business. Three thousand taels is three thousand taels. The price is easy to negotiate. Can I give you this piece of colored glaze first?"
have a look?"
Shopkeeper Ma walked out quickly and happened to see the middle-aged man looking up and down with the piece of glass in his hand. His heart sank and he immediately stepped forward and said: "Brother Xu, you can do this kind of thing to steal business. This is a bit...
Don’t you understand the rules?”
The man looked up at him and said with a smile: "Brother Ma, what are you talking about? This is obviously a business that you don't do, so don't you allow others to do it?"
"Isn't that what I'm discussing about the business that I don't do?" Shopkeeper Ma came over, walked up to the foreign businessman with a smile on his face, and said with a smile: "Come on, brother, it was my fault just now.
Come into the store and have a cup of tea, and let’s talk slowly if you have anything to say.”
The man surnamed Xu said: "Okay, I happen to be thirsty, let's talk inside."
Shopkeeper Ma looked back and said, "What does it say, I'm discussing business with this brother, why are you coming in?"
The man surnamed Xu said with a serious face: "Brother Ma, this is a bit too much. Can your Ma family handle such a big business?"
The young man surnamed Bai next to him immediately stepped forward to smooth things over: "Two shopkeepers, we have been friends for so many years. Don't let these trivial matters hurt our friendship. Shopkeeper Xu, shopkeeper Ma took over this business first. We might as well let them talk first."
There have to be some rules when it comes to talking, right?"
After saying that, he looked at the foreign merchant and asked, "Did you just say that you have a lot of colored glaze?"
…
…
"The damn Xu family and the Ma family have been cooperating for so many years. They raise the price just as they say. They are really despicable people..."
In the yard, Lin Yong squatted on the ground, humming and eating noodles while complaining angrily.
"Businessmen, they are all pursuing interests. Don't take any friendship seriously. Money is their friend. Don't look at the three of them wearing the same pair of pants now. If there is a real interest dispute, they will fall out faster than anyone else." Li
Yi fanned the fire with a small fan, boiled medicine for Miss Liu Er, and said casually.
Lin Yong interrupted: "My lady is not like this."
"Okay, okay, I know your lady is a nice person, and her kindness is rewarded. It's not that she won't repay it, the time has not yet come..."
Li Yi added more firewood to the pot and said, "You don't have to be too angry. No matter what you do, you must have a bottom line. Otherwise, you will be punished. Those who cheat others will always cheat them. This has been the case since ancient times."
This is the truth, maybe those families will soon suffer retribution."
Lin Yong hummed and finished eating the noodles, put down the bowl, and said gloomily: "How come I have never seen evil being punished? Good people don't live long, and disasters are left for thousands of years. In this world, evil people live more comfortably."
Li Yi saw a window opening in a room in the nearby inn, stood up, handed the fan to Lin Yong's hand, patted his shoulder, and said: "Believe me, retribution will happen sooner or later.
That's all... I'll go out and watch the fire for a while."
Lin Yong squatted down and fanned the fire. Li Yi walked out of the yard, walked into the inn next to him, went straight to the second floor, and knocked on a door three times.
After three clicks, the door opened in response.
In the room, a man stood up and said: "We have just reached an agreement with those three families. All the blanks will be given to them. It is inconvenient for us to use the silver notes, so let them trade directly with gold."
Unlike other things, colored glaze is not only valuable after it is made into colored glaze ware. Even if it is just a ball, it is also an auspicious thing and a treasure in people's eyes. A large batch of that thing can be burned every day, so how can you have time to go through it one by one?
The carvings can be burned casually and sold for money without wasting time and effort. It is extremely convenient.
The Bai family, the Xu family and the Ma family were obviously joining forces this time to force Lin Wanru to submit. There happened to be no place to sell these things. In the past, they lived in other people's homes and helped out wherever they could.
The man had a smile on his face and asked tentatively: "Sir, look, can we accumulate ten more points this time?"
Li Yi looked at them and smiled: "Thank you for your hard work these days. When we go back, everyone will accumulate fifty points more."
Several people showed joy on their faces, cupping their fists and saying, "Thank you, sir!"
After Li Yi left, one person closed the door, but the joy on the faces of several people still did not fade away.
A young man showed a look of expectation on his face and said: "Fifty points, plus the previous points, will allow Senior Liu to teach martial arts once."
"I plan to exchange five hundred taels of silver to buy a house in Kyoto and bring my mother back." Another middle-aged man smiled and said, "Xiaowu, what about you?"
A young man sitting in the corner smiled and said: "I also plan to buy a house next door to your house, and then go back to propose marriage. Xiuxiu has been waiting for me for three years, but the old guy didn't agree.
, this time go back and beat him to death with money..."
"Haha, you are ambitious..."
The conversation in the room was limited to this small space. In another part of the city, Bai Yu and two other middle-aged men gathered together, talking in the same low voice.
Bai Yu looked at the two of them and said, "This is a big business that only the three of us can handle together. You two should stop fighting."
"They only want gold, where can we get it?"
"Gold is easy to deal with, just go to the bank to exchange it, but I don't have that much silver on hand, unless I sell that batch of goods to the Lin family..."
"If you do this, I feel sorry for Nephew Bai."
Bai Yu smiled and waved his hand, saying: "It doesn't matter, this business is important..."
Both of them nodded. Faced with such a large business and in urgent need of money, they naturally would not struggle with such a huge profit just for a promise.
Don't miss this opportunity. If you lose it, you won't come back. Next time, you won't encounter such a stupid foreign businessman.
In the shop in front, a waiter scratched his head in confusion and murmured: "Is this how people from Fanbang talk?"
