Brother Beggar refuses to beg

Xie Chen also changed into a new set of clothes, but the material was not as good as Yin Su's, they were newly purchased cotton clothes after winter.

The two split into two groups, and Yin Su went to discuss cooperation with merchants. He used to invest by himself, and he would intervene in any business that made money.He may not know much about the industry, but he has a good vision, makes nine out of ten shots, and has a bit of business acumen.

Xie Chen went to find out the prices of various commodities in Yecheng, and confirmed what goods to buy to be shipped to Jiangnan for sale.

In fact, it would be better for the two of them to do things interchangeably. As Wuhun and the son of the previous life, it would be easier for Xie Chen to gain the trust of the other party if he went to talk about cooperation.What's more, they are eager to send the money over immediately, and with Wuhun escorting the goods all the way, then the journey must be stable.

In fact, the goods in these places are not in circulation. First, because of road construction and transportation problems, the traffic is not developed.The second is because the risk is very high along the way. There are water bandits when traveling by water, and bandits when traveling by land.

Therefore, the merchants of the caravan either raised thugs or hired bodyguards.The waterway had to pay tribute to the Cao Gang, and their people were in charge of the rivers transported by the water, and each Cao Gang had its own river basin under its jurisdiction.

This is a gray industry that has long been formed, and the imperial court can only turn a blind eye. As long as they don't go too far, they will let it go without robbing official ships.

But Yin Su didn't agree with Xie Chen to make false claims with those merchants.He used to be aloof, but once he became a commoner, he had to smile and flatter people who used to want to burn incense and bathe even to see him.

Yin Su couldn't bear this grievance!

Merchants are the most profit-oriented, not to say that there are no good businessmen, but that many people have some bad roots.People who used to be respectful and respectful before, can now sit on an equal footing, and even step on their feet. Yin Su dare not think how these people will run on Xie Chen.

The sources of information on the goods required by the merchants on the list cannot be said to be given by the Duan family. Although the Duan family is mentioned, the business is basically guaranteed, but now they should be in the eyes of outsiders, and they should not communicate with each other.

Regardless of whether these merchants will agree to cooperate or not, Yin Su will go to Jiangnan.The big deal in the early stage is to buy less goods, first slowly earn some money, as long as you run a few more times, your reputation will gradually build up, and someone will definitely be willing to ask them to bring goods.

Regarding Yin Su's waywardness, Xie Chen didn't insist on it. Even if the business lost in the end, it didn't matter. There is always a chance to make a comeback when one is alive, and all he cares about is this kind of intention.

"Mr. Yin, our cloth shop is a century-old brand, and we have our own specialized suppliers. We don't need to bring the goods right now." The shrewd storekeeper sent Yin Su out, with a polite and alienated smile on his face.

Yin Su has been listening to such words for two days, and there are only three merchants on the list that are out of stock.

The list given by Duan Lin was accurate, but these people couldn't trust a businessman who appeared suddenly.Before going out, Yin Su also heard a waiter saying to the guests: "Guest officer has a good eye, this material is in short supply, the one in your hand is the last one, other colors are out of stock..."

Stepping out of the gate of the cloth house, Yin Su looked up at the sun that was about to set in the west, and today he had time to run to the last one.He chose a tea house among the three merchants, and decided to try his luck, if it didn't work out, let it go.

The last selected tea house is called Tengyun Tea House, and the owner is not an ordinary merchant, but a Juren from a scholarly family.The main property of his family is a private school, and the teahouse is only a sideline business. It is used as a meeting place for friends who read literature, and literati often come to drink tea and write poems.

When Yin Su arrived at the teahouse, he was catching up with the end of a poetry meeting. A group of literati were sitting around on futons. In front of each of them was a small low coffee table with the Four Treasures of the Study on it.

Tengyun Tea House is divided into two parts. The main building is square, surrounded by tables and chairs of normal size, with a circular table in the center surrounded by a circle of water.

There are three circles of small desks around the circular table, and each desk is equipped with a futon. People sit on their knees or sit cross-legged.The circular venue looks like Japanese-style tatami mats, all covered with mats, but Yin Su remembers that in ancient China, sitting on the floor should have been like this before the invention of tables and chairs.

There is a small open space around the center of the table, on which a young man is speaking vigorously about the last question.Yin Su is a man of science. He has never read poetry and poetry since he left school. He has only a half-knowledge about these things, so he just listened to a few words and didn't care. He directly asked the waiter who came up to him.

"Are you looking for the shopkeeper, or our boss?" The shop waiter looked curiously at Yin Su who was dressed in brocade.

The teahouse is full of literati coming and going, with different identities and origins.

There are poor students from ordinary families, wearing clean linen clothes with two patches, ordering a pot of the cheapest tea; The son of an aristocratic family, with brocade robe sleeves and a jade crown, has a refined and noble air.

The shop waiter saw that Yin Su was dressed like the third type, but with a little less elegance. His face was rare and handsome, like a well-known sword of extreme refinement. Under the beautiful appearance was a chilling murderous intent.

This kind of feeling is a kind of intuition, which makes the waiter a little funny. Is it because I have listened to these customers' poems and essays all day long, and I have become too imaginative.

Yin Su looked around the rather large teahouse, and asked, "Your owner is here too? I want to find someone who can take care of it and discuss some business with him."

It turned out to be a businessman.

The waiter in the shop sighed a pity in his heart, but he still smiled and said: "Then just ask the shopkeeper, and the little one can help you with the conversation. Would you like to sit down and wait, our tea here is very good, you can come and taste it taste?"

Yin Su expressed his admiration for the employees who were so dedicated to their own business and never let go of the door-to-door salesmen, and ordered a pot of Bashan Que tongue.

This tea is shaped like a tit's tongue. It is famous for its emerald green color, tangy aroma, sweet aftertaste and beautiful shape. The price of a pot is not low.Yin Su bought this tea as a gift before. It is said that tea rich in selenium has the effects of delaying aging, preventing pigment accumulation, and anti-cancer.

Seeing this kind of tea here, Yin Su's eyes lit up. It happened that he was going to sell goods to the southeast, so why not bring some of this kind of tea.

The geographical characteristics of the Dayuan Dynasty are very similar to modern times, and 70.00% of the land in modern times is selenium-poor or selenium-deficient soil, and the human body needs the intake of selenium.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that the goods were good. Yin Su sipped the tea that was brought up, and his mind was full of ways to package and sell this kind of tea.

The owner of the teahouse is not proficient in business, and has the noble air of a literati. He often holds various elegant fairs, and people who come here don't charge tea money as long as they have something to say.The business of the tea house seems to be good, but in fact it does not make money at all, and even occasionally loses money. If it can maintain a balance of income and expenditure, the shopkeeper is thankful.

Therefore, the boss never cared about business matters. Even if he was in the teahouse and listened to other people's high-spirited talks at the gathering, it was impossible for him to come to talk about the business in the store.

The shopkeeper heard that the waiter in the shop said that a rich son came to discuss business, he thought he would meet a second-generation ancestor with a big brain, but it turned out that he was really a handsome son.

"Jiang Ming, the shopkeeper of Xia Tengyun Tea House, I don't know what to call the young master?" The shopkeeper came to Yin Su, clasped his fists kindly, and reported his name first.

Yin Su, who was thinking about it, was pulled back to reality, and he replied: "Xia Yin Su is a merchant. I came here this time because I heard that some teas in expensive teahouses are out of stock. I happen to be going to Jiangnan recently, so I came here to recommend myself. , do you need to bring goods to your store?"

Tengyun Tea House not only sells tea, they are also a tea house, selling tea and tea cakes.In recent years, today's people like the Yuqian Longjing in the Jiangnan area. As a vane of national fashion, the trend of drinking Longjing and drinking Jiangnan tea has risen in the royal family, civil and military officials, and merchants and merchants.

As a result, Jiangnan tea is almost sold out in all major teahouses and teahouses in Yecheng.All merchants are looking forward to it, waiting for the arrival of a new batch of Jiangnan tea, it depends on who can take the lead.

There were not many merchants who could safely pass through the waterway of the Mingjiang River to be intercepted by the gangs and water bandits, and there were only so many goods transported in. Yecheng was located in the southwestern transportation hub, and the demand was huge, so the supply was naturally in short supply.

Of course, powerful merchants and merchants have cooperated for many years, and have their own relatively fixed supply channels, and they can always get a piece of the pie even if the goods are small.Tengyun Tea House is not the most powerful one in Yecheng, but it is relatively famous among literati, and the owner is not good at management, so there is still a certain pressure in the industry competition.

For many years, he has survived by his family's teaching and educating people, but even so, the poorly managed Tengyun Tea House almost closed down this year.Fortunately, the owner is a bit old-fashioned, but at least he has a clear mind and found a rich and powerful son-in-law, so that the restaurant can continue to operate, and Jiang Ming is not forced to lose his job.

Hearing that this young man was able to bring goods back from Jiangnan, Shopkeeper Jiang was surprised at first, and then overjoyed.If he could really bring back Jiangnan tea, the business of the teahouse would probably improve a lot, but why didn't he hear that there was a new merchant coming to Yecheng recently?

A businessman surnamed Yin must have the ability to travel long distances to do business. Jiang Ming searched through the information in his mind, but he couldn't find a big family that could match him.

Yin Su has been asked about his background many times in the past two days, and when he saw the doubtful expression on the face of the shopkeeper Jiang who was sitting in the opposite seat, he knew what he was thinking.I had no choice but to say: "Shopkeeper, I am indeed a newcomer and this is my first time running a business. But don't worry, my wife and I are both from Yecheng. We have practiced martial arts since we were young, so we can guarantee the safe delivery of the goods."

With just a few words, no one will believe it. Yin Su met a defiant barbarian before, and arrogantly said that the Weijiang waterway is not something a cat or a dog can walk.He was so angry that he raised his hand and pressed it on the table. Immediately, there was a distinct sunken palm print on the solid wood table top, scaring the other party into thinking that he was here to rob.

There are robbing darts on the way to the business, and the beggar said that it is completely true!Much easier than negotiating with merchants!
