Chapter 38 Jiading's First Action
The shopkeeper's name is Yuan Nanjiang, who is fifty-one years old this year and can be regarded as a veteran in the business world. But after seeing this glass, his speed made Fang Xing think that he was only eighteen years old.
"Big and Bitch!"
In an instant, the shop doors were closed, and a shimmer flashed in Yuan Nanjiang's eyes, and he picked up the glass.
The two servants were a little nervous and stretched their hands to their waists, where there was a nunchaku made by Fang Xing taught the carpenter.
Fang Xing leaned on the back of the chair with a smile, watching Yuan Nanjiang use various methods to verify the authenticity of the glass.
After knocking, smelling, and even scalding it with boiling water, Yuan Nanjiang straightened his body, beat his back, and said lightly: "Do you want to sell this piece of glass?"
Prodigal businessman, a prodigal businessman!
Fang Xing curled his lips disdainfully. There was glass at this time, but the color was colorful and the price was too expensive, let alone the cup made of glass.
"Shopkeeper Yuan, think about it, whether it is tea or wine, when it is poured into this cup and held in your hand, that scene, tsk tsk!"
Yuan Nanjiang's beard trembled. Seeing that his pretended calm did not work, he said calmly: "How much does the guest officer want to pay?"
Fang Xing shook his head and said, "You said, if you are satisfied, I will leave the cup here. Maybe there will be another time in the future. If you are not satisfied, haha! I heard that the financial resources of the next house are..."
"Please rest assured that my Jiangnan Commercial Bank's financial resources will not be lower than those of anyone!"
Yuan Nanjiang's eyes were full of splendor, and then five fingers stretched out.
Fang Xing shook his head and stretched out a finger.
Yuan Nanjiang sighed: "Do you know about crystal?"
"Crystal cup? I know."
Of course Fang Xing knew about the crystal cup. The thing looked similar to the glass cup, but the transparency was a little worse, and the difficulty of processing was even more devastating.
"hiss!"
Yuan Nanjiang had a headache, and he whispered: "Do you know the salt merchant?"
Fang Xing's eyes were filled with a smile, "Of course, when this glass cup came to those places, I believe it can make a good profit for your business."
Yuan Nanjiang was very transparent and said directly that he was going to sell this glass to those big salt merchants.
The salt merchants in the Ming Dynasty were all rich masters. What should I do if I had too much money? Then show off my wealth.
So various ways of showing off their wealth were thought of, including food, clothing, housing and transportation.
Fang Xing said confidently: "When a crystal clear glass appeared on the banquet, Manager Yuan, believe me, those big salt chambers of state flocked to Jiangnan merchants in a crazily manner."
Yuan Nanjiang nodded and said, "It can be followed..."
It's taken the bait!
Fang Xing immediately said in embarrassment: "Shopkeeper Yuan, this kind of cup is something from abroad. It is said that it comes from the place called Venice. Most of the things that flow out in a year have gone to the palaces of those aliens."
Yuan Nanjiang sighed: "Yes! I have heard people say in my early years that there is a place in the West where the glass is unparalleled in the world, but unfortunately the method of making has never been exposed."
Of course, it was not revealed. Fang Xing smiled secretly. At this time, the Ming Dynasty did not prohibit the sea. There were Maritime Services in Ningbo, Quanzhou and Guangzhou. Yuan Nanjiang was probably the agent of a certain family. This family participated in the maritime trade, so he knew more or less about the West.
"How many a year?"
Yuan Nanjiang went barefoot and said directly: "The prices of one and several are definitely different."
Prodigal businessman!
Fang Xing knew that Yuan Nanjiang wanted to maximize his interests, so he said, "I can't say it, maybe there are two or three."
Yuan Nanjiang said softly when he heard this: "Eight hundred, no more."
Fang Xing nodded after thinking for a moment, "Okay, but I have a request."
"Please say it."
After completing this order, Yuan Nanjiang was able to get a lot of benefits himself, so he also said with a smile.
Fang Xing stretched out his finger and said, "Your business is not allowed to mention the seller. If I hear someone outside say that the goods were imported from Peking or mentioned someone from Peking, then I will never cooperate with you from now on."
This kind of keeping confidentiality for customers is very ordinary, so Yuan Nanjiang certainly would not object, so he immediately took out the silver notes.
"This is the silver note from Huitong Money House, and you will pay as soon as you see the bill."
Fang Xing took eight silver notes and nodded, "No problem, I hope we can continue to cooperate next time."
At this time, the official also had silver notes, which were called treasure notes, and their credibility was getting worse and worse.
Walking out of the Jiangnan business, Fang Xing looked at the sunny sky outside, his mouth raised and shouted, "Fang Jiu, Fang Shi, let's go."
After these ten servants officially passed the preliminary recognition, Fang Xing directly gave them the surname Fang according to their current habits. However, he was a little lazy, so he ranked them with numbers.
But at this time, Zhang Shuhui and others were in trouble.
"Someone stole my stuff!"
Outside a jewelry store, when Xiaobai shouted, two servants rushed over and directly grabbed a thin man.
"Oh! Let go!"
The man's eyes were cunning, and after being captured, he looked aggrieved, "I didn't steal, I'm here to buy things."
Among the onlookers, three big men also stood up silently. One of them said in an unquestionable tone: "Let him go."
Xiaobai blushed and said, "It's him, I just stole the silver hairpin I bought."
Although he said he would not buy anything when he came out of his house, Zhang Shuhui could not withstand Xiaobai's grinding and finally bought her a silver hairpin. However, she didn't expect that she would be stolen after she came out of the jewelry store, which made Xiaobai's anger almost burn through the entire Beijing city.
Ma Su stood up and said, "You will know if you steal it or not."
"Why? Why do you search for my body!"
The thin man immediately shouted: "Come and have a look! These people from the countryside can bully people!"
"What are you doing? Let go of my brother, otherwise I will be using the knife!"
All three big men showed their knife, and the onlookers took a breath and quickly dodged, but they couldn't bear to see the fun that followed.
"Holding a knife in the street is a serious crime! Take action!"
Just when Zhang Shuhui and Xiaobai were a little scared, Xin Laoqi shouted loudly, and then three servants rushed over.
Dare to fight with us without any hand? I am stupid!
The three big men grinned and held the short knife in their hands tightly, preparing to bleed the countrymen.
But when they were approaching, the three servants had two more wooden sticks in their hands like magic. After a neat shout, the wooden stick whipped skillfully.
Zhang Shuhui was a little worried about these servants and was about to call someone to report to the official, but suddenly there was a heat behind her, and then the sound of awakening came.
"Super, don't be nervous."
Fang Xing stood there, behind him, Fang Jiu and Fang Shi were leading three horses.
The three servants ignored the three short knives, and tugged the stick in their hands, and the short knives fell to the ground with a scream.
"Take it!"
At the order of Mr. Xin, the three servants skillfully captured the opponent and pressed them to the ground.
"Okay! Great skills!"
Fang Xing was feeling contented, but heard the cheers behind him. When he looked back, he saw a fat middle-aged man being helped off the carriage by two big men.
Then dozens of plainclothes men drove away the people around them. Fang Xing's heart skipped a beat, and then waved his hand: "Lao Qi, hand them over to the soldiers patrolling the streets."
At this time, the people from the Wucheng Military Police had already arrived. After taking the prisoner, they wanted to take Fang Xing and others away. However, a follower of the middle-aged man whispered a few words, and saw that the people left immediately, at such a fast speed, as if this was a dragon's nest.
