Chapter 367 Surprise the gods!
"Due to insufficient supply, the new carriage "Don't Touch Me" has been temporarily suspended for sale in recent days. It is expected to resume sale on the 26th of this month, with 30 vehicles available on that day!"
"No more~? Why aren't there any carriages for sale today?"
The unlucky guy who was behind Lu Yun in line yesterday and almost got a chance to buy a new carriage. As soon as the East Market opened at noon today, he came to line up and saw such a notice. He couldn't help but want to curse.
"That's right! Why is it out of stock again?"
"Hurry up and call your shopkeeper. I want to buy a carriage today. You don't need to discount it. Just sell me one first! Damn it, the carriage you have here that Hu Wangfu's family bought yesterday is so impressive. What should I say today?
Buy one!”
"Yes, I can also pay the full price and get me a car first!"
Two people immediately echoed behind him.
If Li Zexuan heard this, he would definitely be very happy. The hidden attribute of the new carriages - the competition for wealth, has finally been discovered by others. In the future, those rich people who like to pay attention to ostentation may habitually use the new carriages as their first choice.
"A tool for showing off"!
"Ouch~! Shopkeeper Sun is out!"
"Shopkeeper Sun, do you still have carriages for sale here?"
Seeing the battle in front of him, Sun Huaiyuan couldn't help but feel guilty. As for the new carriages, the workshop does have a batch of inventory now, but it cannot be sold because Li Zexuan is getting married the day after tomorrow and needs to borrow these stocks for extravagance.
So Qiquge could only lie and claim that it was out of stock. Fortunately, he saved it yesterday, otherwise who would Li Zexuan find to get the carriage?
"Haha, gentlemen, please be patient. Ahem, most of you must have personally experienced our Qiquge's carriage yesterday. Everyone knows the superiority of this carriage, but the more sophisticated the thing, the better.
The more complicated it becomes to make, so please wait a few more days, our workshop is already working hard to make it! Please bear with me, please bear with me!"
Sun Huaiyuan cupped his hands with an apologetic expression.
But people around him didn’t buy it. These days, the rich are the boss, so how could there be a situation where you can’t buy anything with money?
"Shopkeeper Sun, don't say anything more! I'll add two hundred guan to your original price, and you'll sell me a carriage now! I don't believe that your workshop really doesn't have a single carriage left!
"
An old man in rich clothes grabbed Sun Huaiyuan and said.
"Alas~! Boss Cao, it's not that I don't want to sell it to you, it's just that we really have no stock here these days!"
Sun Huaiyuan said with a sad face and cupped his hands.
This is Cao Wendong, the largest silk merchant in Chang'an City. His family background is not much weaker than that of Li Zexuan, so he cannot be offended!
"Add five hundred guan! It's impossible for your workshop to not have even one in stock~!"
Cao Wendong stretched out five fingers and insisted.
"Wow~!"
The people around were in an uproar. Five hundred guan could almost sell half a carriage. This is really rich and willful!
Cao Wendong is indeed not short of this little money. A few hundred or even a thousand dollars is really a drop in the bucket to him. The reason why he insists on buying a car today is that, on the one hand, a business acquaintance of his who does not like him bought the car yesterday.
Qiquge's newly launched carriage, how could he lag behind others?
On the other hand, Qiquge's carriage is indeed high-end and comfortable. Putting aside the element of anger, he also wants to buy this carriage, so that when he goes out to discuss business in the future, he will not only go back and forth faster, but also avoid unnecessary traffic on the road.
What a pain in the bumpy carriage!
As for shopkeeper Sun's statement that there was no stock, he believed it, but he didn't believe it if there wasn't even a spare carriage. He was also a businessman and knew that a businessman would keep some inventory at the bottom of the box.
So Cao Wendong directly adopted the most brutal and effective method - throwing money at him. I didn't believe that Sun Huaiyuan wouldn't be tempted.
"Um, Boss Cao..."
"Needless to say, I'll add a thousand guans! Shopkeeper Sun, please quickly find a way to get a carriage for Cao!"
Sun Huaiyuan was indeed tempted. He was about to say that he could appropriate one of the cars, but Cao Wendong mistakenly thought that Sun Huaiyuan wanted to refuse again, so he directly added a thousand guan.
"One Thousand Guan~~!"
"Boss Cao is rich!"
“Boss Cao is awesome!”
The onlookers were so shocked that even though they spent nearly twice the price to buy a carriage, there was no one left.
"No no no~!"
Sun Huaiyuan waved his hand and said quickly: "Boss Cao, that's not what I meant. To be honest, there are indeed a few cars in stock at the workshop, but they are reserved for my Lord's wedding in the future. I really
I don’t dare to sell it on my own initiative! Of the other carriages at the moment, there is only one left in front of this door!”
When Sun Huaiyuan said this, he pointed to the carriage in front of the Qiqu Pavilion that had been specially used for customers to try out.
"Oh~! It turns out that the man from Li County is getting married! It's really gratifying. When the time comes, Mr. Cao will have the audacity to go to Li's house to ask for a wedding drink! Mr. Li had a lot of business dealings with Mr. Cao back then!"
Cao Wendong nodded, smoothed his beard and said with a smile.
He wasn't talking nonsense. The Li family owned several ready-to-wear shops, and it was inevitable that they would deal with him, the largest silk merchant in the capital. Of course, if he could use this to establish a relationship with a lord, Cao Wendong felt that it would be an extra two thousand dollars today.
Guandu is worth it! So he is not particularly interested in the carriage in front of him now. He is wondering whether he can have some connections at the Li family's wedding banquet in the future and become familiar with it.
"Ah~! It turns out that Lord Li is getting married! Boss Sun, what a joy to congratulate!"
"Yes~! Yes~! Congratulations~!"
"I have to go get a wedding drink then~!"
The rest of the people also laughed and said pleasant words. Most of them were businessmen, and no one wanted to offend a lord for no reason.
"Haha~! Thank you~! Thank you~! My Lord has always been hospitable and will definitely welcome Boss Cao and all his friends!"
Boss Sun cupped his hands and said politely. He looked at the carriage in front of the door again and said hesitantly:
"If Boss Cao doesn't mind, and you don't need to pay more, Mr. Sun can sell this carriage to you at the original price. Don't worry, I will send this carriage to the workshop for renovation first, and then deliver it to your house in the afternoon.
Come on, it will be exactly the same as the new carriage when the time comes!"
When Cao Wendong heard this, his heart moved, and he saw his eyes rolling, and he smiled happily and said:
"Haha! Shopkeeper Sun's words are very kind! Mr. Cao wants this carriage! But Mr. Cao said before that the price will be increased by one thousand guan. How can he be unfaithful! Mr. Cao paid 2,190 for this carriage.
Jiu Guan has bought it! Shopkeeper Sun, please, will send it to my house in the afternoon!"
Hearing what he said, there were several people around who were eager to try the carriage, and their eyes suddenly dimmed. If Cao Wendong didn't want it, they would be willing to buy the carriage at the original price! But now that Cao Wendong has raised the price so high, they will
Some of them chickened out. After all, the goods would be available at Qiquge in a few days, so there was no need for them to waste more money.
Cao Wendong caught a glimpse of the expressions of those people and couldn't help but smile to himself. The reason why he increased the price was to get other hidden competitors to withdraw. After having been in the shopping mall for many years, how could he not see the Xiao Jiujiu in those people's hearts? Of course, he also had something else.
The purpose is to sell well in front of Li Zexuan and show off his face! It can be said to kill two birds with one stone!
"Ah~? This..."
Sun Huaiyuan was still a little green in the mall. How could he understand the overt and covert fights between these people in the mall? He was dumbfounded when he heard Cao Wendong's words~! Are there still such customers these days who take the initiative to pay more?
"What~? Shopkeeper Sun wants to regret it~?"
Cao Wendong asked with a smile.
"Ah! No, no, just..."
"Haha, since you have no regrets, let's make the deal! Cao will send someone to pay you right now! Shopkeeper Sun says hello to Lord Li on my behalf!"
Cao Wendong laughed and said directly without giving Sun Huaiyuan a chance to refute.
"Okay, okay! Sun will bring the words to you."
Sun Huaiyuan seemed to understand something, he cupped his hands and said.
A transaction with a sky-high price was concluded so easily. Little did they know that this bizarre transaction shocked everyone's eyes and spread to every corner of Chang'an City at the speed of a hurricane.
Chapter completed!
