Red Mansion: Taming the Overlord

Although Bo Yang has always comforted himself that buying cloth is not the first priority, but in fact, if he can't buy it, it will be a delay of more than half a year, which is not a good thing for him.After all, the money in his hand will probably be spent by then.And that also meant he had to try to earn back his principal.

For Bo Yang, making money from money is always the easiest. On the contrary, the accumulation of this kind of primitive capital is too troublesome for him, and he has to do everything by himself.

So when he heard Liu Xianglian say this, the displeasure in his heart dissipated immediately, he quickly asked someone to sit down, and asked, "Where is it, how much fabric is there?"

"In Jinling. As for the quantity," Liu Xianglian thought for a while and said, "No less than two hundred horses."

Bo Yang's eyes lit up, "Is it the same family?" Although he was a little concerned about the place being in Jinling, but considering that Xue Bawang had already gone to the world of flowers in the capital, there shouldn't be any problem.

In fact, Bo Yang couldn't eat that much, after all, he only had 50 taels of silver on hand, so he could buy at most twenty bolts of cloth.But since so much fabric is in the hands of one person, there is room for negotiation.Moreover, the other party had accumulated so much cloth, and it was still in his hands at the moment, obviously something went wrong, so he would naturally have the opportunity to fight for discounts and other conditions.

"However," Liu Xianglian said, "I heard that there was a small problem with that batch of goods. They were all plain fine cloth. It seemed that they were stained with some stains due to improper storage. I have to tell Brother Bai first. But The contaminated part should not exceed half."

What he meant was to persuade Bo Yang to buy the good part.But Bo Yang became more interested when he heard that there was a little stain on it.

Because he intends to dye it himself, and the color is relatively dark, so the requirements for the base fabric are not too high. As long as the stain is not very obvious, it should be able to cover it up.But if there is a problem with these cloths, the price cannot be calculated according to the original price.

A piece of fine cloth retails for five taels of silver, but if you buy it in large quantities, you should be able to get it for about three taels.But if it is stained and the fabric is ruined, then the price is probably not even half of it, and it can be taken for a tael of silver.

Bo Yang exhaled lightly, and said with a smile, "I still have to go and see for myself. This time I have to thank Brother Liu."

"Brother Bai, you are welcome. I owe you a favor. Besides, this is just worthless news. If it can help you, it would be the best." Liu Xianglian said sincerely.

Bo Yang glanced at him with a smile.Is this really "cheap" news?Not necessarily?You must know that in this era, there are very few channels for obtaining information, and many people are limited by this.That's why there are tooth dealers and middlemen.These people have no capital themselves, but rely on their ability to get along on the street, their extensive contacts, and good news.

This kind of business still exists even in later generations, let alone today?

If Bo Yang's guess is correct, Liu Xianglian doesn't actually have any serious job, but traveling all over the world always costs money, and this is probably his way of making money.So it was no accident that he knew the news, maybe he just inquired about it specially and wanted to sell it to others.

So he thought for a while and smiled, "I don't know what Brother Liu originally planned? If it doesn't bother me, I'm afraid I'll ask you to go and see the batch of cloth with me. If this business can be done, naturally it won't Thanks to Brother Liu."

Being able to inquire about this news, Liu Xianglian naturally has her own way. When the time comes to negotiate conditions and lower the price, she may be able to help. Naturally, Bo Yang will not be stingy with a little commission.

"It's natural." Liu Xianglian said.

Because of this incident, although Liu Xianglian is a character in the plot, Bo Yang no longer feels that the other party is a trouble.After all the grudges were gone, I felt that this was really a wonderful person.In fact, if there is anyone in the world of Red Mansions who can understand Bo Yang's thoughts to some extent, it is only Liu Xianglian.Besides, he is handsome in appearance, witty in speech, and knows how to advance and retreat, so it's hard not to feel good about him.

They both wanted to make friends with each other, and when the ship docked and changed ships to Jinling, they were already very familiar with each other.When Bo Yang heard Liu Xianglian talk about his experience in the past few years, he was quite eager to try, so Xuan'er said quickly, "Master's health is not good, I'm afraid I can't bear such a rush!"

In fact, Bo Yang is just thinking about it. As a senior dead house, he is the kind of person who can lie down and never sit, and can sit and never stand. Although he has a heart to travel around the world, his body has never followed suit. been on.

And to be honest, it only takes two or three days for later generations to walk a diagonal line from the southeast to the northwest of the motherland, so it is impossible for him to use his own legs to measure the land of this world.

Arriving in Jinling peacefully all the way, Bo Yang couldn't help being a little amused when he thought about his hasty escape from here a few months ago.

In fact, Xue Pan is really not that scary. Although the Xue family is powerful in Jinling, it is not completely impossible to deal with it. He had just traveled through time and was confused by the idea of ​​escaping from the plot.

Facts have proved that one cannot be too rigid.

When Bo Yang, led by Liu Xianglian, entered the silk shop and saw the person sitting behind the counter, he seemed to have seen a ghost.

How could it be him?Before the other party noticed him, Bo Yang took a few steps back, turned around and pushed Xuan'er away, lowered his voice and ordered, "Go book an inn, and wait for me in the teahouse ahead!"

He himself was afraid of being noticed by others, so he took a curtain away, intending to say to the outside world that he was hurting his face, and Xue Pan might not be able to recognize it.But Xuan'er can't do it.And let Xue Pan see him, then his identity will be revealed.

It was agreed that the transportation in the ancient times was inconvenient and the news was difficult to communicate, so it is possible to see each other forever after one separation?

Who would have thought that the world is really so small, Liu Xianglian just pointed to a store, and it turned out to be Xue's?Who would have thought that Xue Pan, who was supposed to go to the capital three months ago to fight cockfights and lackeys, was still in Jinling? !

In fact, Xue Pan was also very wronged at the moment.

Originally, he planned to return to Jinling to find someone.How is the result? I just arrived here, and before I had time to arrange someone, the shopkeeper of this silk and satin factory came to the door, saying that it was a batch of cloth he bought half a year ago, and it was now under pressure, and asked him what to do with it.

Half a year ago, when Xue Pan came to inspect the business, he happened to bump into someone bringing a batch of goods, intending to sell them to the silk and satin factory.The shopkeeper said that there was enough stock in the store and he was not willing to buy it.However, Xue Pan heard that the buyer praised his goods to the sky and earth, and the most important thing was that the price was cheap. The original wholesale price was at least three taels of silver per horse, but now it only costs two taels.Thinking that this is a good business, Xue Pan immediately ordered the shopkeeper to buy the goods.

However, after buying it, he completely forgot about it.I thought that the shopkeeper would not sell these a long time ago, but unexpectedly it has been left until now.

The shopkeeper explained that there was no need for these cloths in the store. Since he asked to buy them, he thought he would use them. Now that they are not used, it is better to dispose of them first.After all, the goods in the hands are all silver.Xue Pan was impatient and naturally let them handle it by themselves.

As a result, the shopkeeper took someone to take out the goods, only to find that at least half of the cloth was stained!

Of course, Xue Pan took the pot by heart. After all, the shopkeeper reminded him to inspect the goods, but how could Xue Pan be impatient?Even if you look through it casually, you have passed the test.Now that something goes wrong, naturally he can only be blamed.

Xue Pan is very single in this respect, since it was his own fault, he doesn't deny it, let alone try to shirk it.It's just that, this batch of cloth in the hand is really a headache.

In fact, this batch of cloth was more than what Liu Xianglian knew, a total of 500 pieces.Calculated as the retail price, it would be 1000 taels of silver!Even if the purchase cost is calculated, there are a full 2000 taels.Under the careful operation of the shopkeeper, the silk and satin village's annual profit is less than [-] taels of silver. If it loses this time, then half of the business this year will be in vain.

Of course, if this is the case, it is not worth the shopkeeper's writing to call Xue Pan back from the capital.The Xue family can still afford a mere 1000 taels of silver.However, some time ago, the shop purchased a batch of expensive fabrics, and it was time to pay, but the funds were not enough, and I was anxiously waiting for the vacancy of the 1000 taels of silver.If you can't come up with the money, maybe even the signboard of the Xue Family Royal Merchant will be smashed!

After Xue Pan came over, he naturally asked people to go to various shops to get money and pay in advance temporarily. ——Anyway, he has nothing to do, and he doesn't think there is any problem with such a mess, as long as the matter in front of him is prevaricated.However, everyone seems to have made an appointment, and they all bought the goods, and there is no cash flow.However, the reason they gave was very good. The Mid-Autumn Festival will be in a few days, and business is always the best during such a big festival, so it is natural to replenish the stock.

In fact, this incident was naturally a trap they set up against Xue Pan.

From the time when the cloth seller happened to be bumped into by Xue Pan to the following, every link has been carefully arranged to block Xue Pan here. ——Aunt Xue is far away in the capital, even if she wants to use her private house to make up for it, she can't do it.Such a chain of links, pressing step by step, finally forced Xue Pan to hand over the Xue family's business.

Although Xue Pan is stupid, he is vaguely aware of the crisis at the moment. If this matter cannot be resolved, the consequences may be very bad.

And at this moment, Liu Xianglian took Bo Yang into Xue's silk and satin village.
