Comprehensive Film and Television: Starting from An Lingrong, becoming the king of rolls

"This is the first time I've seen such a good ink stick."

After the wealthy businessman finished praising him, he hesitated: "The price of this ink stick is probably quite high, right? I didn't want to make a top-notch ink stick."

Shopkeeper Tian flinched when he heard his words and immediately became anxious.

I instantly remembered that the three pens, paper and inkstones ordered by the wealthy businessman in the past few days were of average quality.

Because this wealthy businessman orders a large quantity, he does not intend to go the high-quality route, so he only wants medium and high-quality goods.

But Hanyingmo is not a fine product in the first place, it is just famous for its peculiar plum fragrance.

Shopkeeper Tian said hurriedly: "We, the old lady, are kind-hearted and think that all the literati in the world should be able to afford Hanying ink, so the price is not expensive."

After that, he told the wealthy businessman the price of the ink sticks.

When the wealthy businessman heard this, his eyes lit up.

He repeatedly praised: "The old lady of your house is so righteous!"

With that said, he made a final decision: "Then I don't have to look at other people's ink anymore, I'll just settle on Han Ying Mo."

With that said, he told Shopkeeper Tian the quantity he needed and the delivery deadline.

Shopkeeper Tian was shocked when he heard this.

This, these quantities cannot be made at home!

Seeing him in embarrassment, the wealthy businessman couldn't help but frown: "Don't you think your shop can provide it? Forget it, I'll just look for other ink..."

As he spoke, he was about to get up, but Shopkeeper Tian was so frightened that he stopped him hastily.

Just kidding, if this deal is completed, the proceeds will keep the Cao family comfortable for several years, not to mention the follow-up cooperation.

This wealthy businessman obviously wants to cooperate for a long time.

If the duck he got flew away, the old lady would have to kill him!

Shopkeeper Tian was anxious and agreed.

Just have to sign a contract.

The wealthy businessman agreed, but told Shopkeeper Tian that he had to go back to Jiangning Mansion first.

He said with helplessness on his face: "Before I came to Bianjing, I never thought that the Four Treasures of the Study in Bianjing were so much better than Jiangning Mansion. I thought it would be good to choose one or two suitable ones, but it was too expensive to spend in Fanlou. In addition, I have signed contracts for pens, paper, and inkstones with several other bookstores in the past few days. If I sign a contract with Han Yingmo at this time, the silver I brought is not enough for the deposit, and I need to go back to get the silver."

Shopkeeper Tian hesitated.

The rich businessman slapped his chest so hard.

"Don't worry, I still have some money with me. I'll pay you first. I'll sign an advance contract for now. If I don't get the money back on time, you can go to Jiangning Mansion and sue me. I have a big business in Jiangning Mansion and I can't run away. Besides, I know the Cao family is behind you, I am just a merchant, how can I dare to default on my debts from the Cao family?"

Shopkeeper Tian felt relieved instantly.

Yes, he is just a merchant. No matter how rich he is, how can he dare to go against the Cao family, relatives of the emperor?

Besides, it's okay for the other party to have no money. Who doesn't know how much money he spent in Fan Tower?

No matter how much money you bring with you to Bianjing, it will be almost spent.

Shopkeeper Tian, ​​with his sense of superiority as a confidant of the Cao family, felt that wealthy businessmen would not dare to play tricks on his uncle.

Moreover, the other party also showed sincerity and was willing to sign a contract first.

However, this contract is not a contract to stipulate goods, but a contract that binds both parties to the time limit for the transaction.

If the wealthy businessman cannot bring the money as promised and places an order with the Cao family, it will be a breach of contract.

And if the price offered by the Cao family for Hanying ink is not the lowest in Bianjing or the only one in Bianjing, then it is also a breach of contract.

Shopkeeper Tian didn't care about this at all.

Hanyingmo is the exclusive formula of the Cao family, and the pricing is determined by the Cao family.

This constraint is equivalent to nothing.

After signing the contract, the wealthy businessman gave Shopkeeper Tian a sum of money and discussed with the other party that he hoped to start preparing for Han Yingmo now.

The wealthy businessman smiled sincerely: "Seeing that spring is coming just a few months after the New Year, I want to take advantage of this time to sell more Hanying ink in Jiangning Mansion. I come back to Jiangning Mansion every time, even if it's a smooth journey, I still want to go back to Jiangning Mansion. More than half a month. Besides, it is the twelfth lunar month of winter, and the road is not easy to walk. If it is slower, it will take more than a month. If after the contract is signed, it will take Guishufang another one or two months to make Hanying ink, and the time for transporting goods on the road will be included. , by the time we get to Jiangning Mansion, spring has passed. As soon as spring passes, spring begins again, and Han Yingmo will definitely not be as easy to sell as now."

He calculated an account for Shopkeeper Tian and told him how much more money the Cao family could earn this time if they could catch up with Chunwei.

After all, he wanted to cooperate with the Cao family for a long time, and after making this order, he still placed the order. The more they sell, the more the Cao family earns.

After saying this, Shopkeeper Tian was moved, but he didn't dare to make the decision, so he could only ask the old lady for instructions.

The old lady thought this was feasible and had no worries at all.

He's just a wealthy businessman, how can he dare to play tricks on their Cao family? Even if you give him a hundred courages!

Moreover, the wealthy businessman showed his household registration and road map to Shopkeeper Tian, ​​so even if he could escape, the monk would not be able to escape from the temple.

The Cao family has always been the only one to bully merchants.

There is no way, the status of scholars, farmers, industry and merchants is low, this is the consensus of everyone.

So shopkeeper Tian began to work hard to make Han Ying Mo, while the wealthy businessman returned to Jiangning Mansion to withdraw money.

But the amount demanded by the wealthy businessman was too great, and the Cao family's funds were insufficient.

In the end, Uncle Cao Guo, his younger uncle Cao Guo and other cousins ​​borrowed a large sum of money to raise the cost.

Anyway, it only takes a month or two before the money can be recovered.

With this idea in mind, Cao Guojiu borrowed a large sum of money.

He figured that there would be no conflict between the wealthy businessman selling Hanying ink in Jiangning Prefecture and him selling Hanying ink in Bianjing.

After all, there are many literati in Jiangnan, but not everyone can come to Bianjing Chunwei.

If he only fulfills the quantity of goods provided by the wealthy businessman, and when spring comes, his own stock will be gone, wouldn’t he lose a lot of money in vain?

So the Cao family set up an ink-making workshop, which has been running for a month.

Seeing the one-month deadline approaching, Shopkeeper Tian noticed something was wrong.

It's been a month, why hasn't the wealthy businessman come yet?

It's not like he really wants to run away...but what does the other party want?

Shopkeeper Tian began to become anxious, and until the day of the appointment, he stood directly at the door of the bookstore, his feet turning non-stop.

You know, the Cao family has invested all their money in order to make ink!

After noon, when Shopkeeper Tian was in despair, he suddenly saw a wealthy businessman appear!

But before he was happy for a long time, he saw a man beside the wealthy businessman. Judging from his dress, he was also a shopkeeper.

Before Shopkeeper Tian could get angry, the wealthy businessman said to him with a frosty face: "Shopkeeper Tian, ​​I traveled day and night on this journey just to cooperate with Guishufang. But you actually lied to me!"

"what?"

Shopkeeper Tian touched his head in confusion: "What did you lie to?"

"You kept saying that Han Ying's ink was unique to your Cao Family Bookstore and was not available anywhere else in Bianjing. You deceived me into not looking at other ink! Now I know that this is all your conspiracy! Han Yingmo, where is this unique to your bookstore?! Moreover, our previous contract stated that we guarantee that this is the only copy of Bianjing before we can conduct transactions. You are clearly deceiving me first, between you and me Cooperation is void!"

"what?!"

Shopkeeper Tian was shocked and blurted out: "How dare you?!"
