7. Chapter Seven Reselling Royal Goods 3

The waiter in the shop was quite surprised. It was just early in the morning and there were not many people in the gold and silver jewelry store. The waiter in the shop led me to the back hall and said, "Sir, please wait a moment. I will inform the master right away."

After a while, I saw an old man with a dark brown silk coat, gold-rimmed round eyes, and walking stick walking over. The waiter of the shop introduced: "Master, it is this young man who has goods to sell." After that, , then went to the lobby to sell things.

"Hello, I am Zhong Qiansheng, the shopkeeper here. I heard that the young master has goods?" Although shopkeeper Zhong has sparse hair and skinny bones, his eyes reveal the essence of an old man.

"Hello, shopkeeper Zhong, I'm Yang Yu. We do have the goods." As I said that, I put the bundle on the table and opened it.

Suddenly, a package of rare treasures appeared on the table, including various jewelry, hairpins and jade pendants, with unique styles and exquisite shapes. Even when I saw it, I was amazed. This Rong Haisheng is really an old fox, having collected so many things.

Shopkeeper Zhong hurriedly adjusted his glasses, picked up a hairpin, studied it carefully, then picked up some jade pendants, and finally took a breath and said: "This batch of goods, Master, is really not ordinary. May I ask where the master’s goods come from?”

Of course I couldn't say it was from the palace. I just glanced at Shopkeeper Zhong and said, "Don't ask so many questions. Do you want to accept it?" As I said that, I wrapped the things and was about to get up when I was stopped. I know that all businessmen are greedy, even if they take risks.

"Sir, don't worry, why don't you accept such a good thing? But, is this thing safe?" asked the shopkeeper Zhong.

"Safe, absolutely safe. I am also entrusted by others to help others, but that person is absolutely reliable." I said.

"Okay, sir, tell me a price and let me take a look."

I quoted a price of "50,000 taels." Rong Haisheng said to me "30,000 taels." I always felt that it was more than that, and there was always room for bargaining.

"Fifty thousand taels? That's too much." Shopkeeper Zhong took a breath.

"You also know that this product is not ordinary. Aren't these many things worth fifty thousand taels?" I asked.

"Thirty thousand taels at most. I really can't afford that much," Shopkeeper Zhong said.

Thirty thousand taels? Is it really only worth this? Could Rong Haisheng have calculated it accurately? I didn’t believe it: “Forget it, I’ll go check it out elsewhere. It’s still early anyway.”

When shopkeeper Zhong saw that I was about to leave, he still couldn't bear to ask: "Did Young Master Yang not give up any land in his bid?"

I said, "Shopkeeper Zhong's 30,000 taels is already the maximum price? Then there's really nothing to talk about. The higher-ups have stated that this batch of goods will be sold for at least 43,000 taels, but it's hard for me to explain."

"Forty-three thousand?" Shopkeeper Zhong lowered his head and thought for a long time, then said: "Okay, I will keep this batch of goods, for no other reason than to make friends. I hope Mr. Yang can find me as soon as possible for future goods." Shopkeeper Zhong is no better than anyone else. If a good buyer is found for this batch of goods, its value will definitely be higher than 43,000 taels.

"Okay, deal." I handed the backpack to shopkeeper Zhong. After a while, the servant took out a stack of silver notes and gave them to me. I counted them, one thousand taels each, a total of forty-three. I stuffed the ticket into my arms and said goodbye to shopkeeper Zhong. Before I left, I took the small black gold dagger. It should be regarded as a gift from him.

The job was done, and it far exceeded the price given by Rong Haisheng. I was immediately overjoyed and found a teahouse to do it.
