Qi Yue led the guests of the Han family to the house, and all the friends who had avoided seeing him at first came. The children of the Han family laughed so hard, looking at their faces that turned into bitter gourds because they didn't see the head of the family, they felt so happy.
It's more comfortable than jumping into cold water in the dog days of summer.
There was a lot of laughter in the Han family, but Han Kang, who was far away in the Kingdom of Chen, couldn't laugh anymore. Pure silverware was so popular that he went to several shops in a row and couldn't find it. It was possible to make a reservation, but everyone else made reservations.
For a complete set, a complete set of utensils including plates, bowls, cups, etc., the starting price is equivalent to 30,000 topaz coins.
Not to mention, these merchants have learned 100% of the Hua family's methods, and they actually sell pottery to the outside world for reimbursement.
If it's just like this, it's okay, and I can bear it with gritted teeth. But it will be troublesome if it is suddenly scheduled to next month. Lord Jiang is still waiting.
After much deliberation, Han Kang finally had no choice but to reach out to his own connections to see if he could find one or two pure silver utensils.
At the beginning, Han Kang sold high-quality pottery, which was generally only used by wealthy families. He had connections with several high-ranking upper-class aristocrats. Of course, he worked with the heads of these large aristocrats.
He has no words and no qualifications. His relationship is with the purchasing children of these big nobles.
After so many years of relationship, Han Kang is also a good person, so when Han Kang invited them to dinner, these people were very considerate... But when they heard that Han Kang wanted to buy a pure silver utensil, these people's faces drooped
Came down.
"We only have one set at home. The old man is usually like a treasure. Except for entertaining important guests, he doesn't want to use it for daily meals. Shopkeeper Han, you'd better go to the store to make a reservation. Not to mention, we don't have even half a piece here!"
The children of famous families spoke one after another.
"That's it!" Han Kang smiled helplessly. He really didn't expect that silver utensils were in such short supply that they couldn't be bought with money. But even so, the nobles were rushing to buy them, even making reservations and queuing up.
"Shopkeeper Han, I'm a little bit confused. You are also in the pottery business. Why didn't you learn from other merchants and sell pure silverware? You can also sell the backlog of pottery. With our relationship for many years, as long as you have
, I will definitely buy from you!”
"What I'm saying is, don't stick to your kiln entrance. Nowadays, many kiln entrances that make high-quality pottery are closed..." several family members asked.
Han Kang shook his head and said: "I also wanted to do the bank business at the beginning. But the capital required was too big. I couldn't afford the capital turnover and I couldn't afford to invest... However, to be honest with you, I will be acting as an agent for Bicui in a short time.
Silver is a better vessel, please support me then!"
"Better than Cuiyin!" Several family members were stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting Han Kang to say such a thing. But then they all nodded in agreement, with smiles on their faces, and they must have cheered when he said it.
Seeing how many people were smiling but not smiling, Han Kang lamented in his heart, they didn't take his words seriously at all... Think about it. Since there are better utensils than pure silver, why don't you buy pure silver?
What's silver for?
After eating and drinking, Han Kang sent a few people away and fell into silence. The pure silver was so popular that it could not be purchased in a short time. If this matter could not be handled well, would Jiang Xingchen still help... For a moment, Han Kang was a little concerned about gains and losses.
…
At the same time, on the vast sea, a seven-story treasure ship was sailing to the Kingdom of Dachen, escorted by dozens of warships. On the highest deck of the treasure ship, Shopkeeper Liu, who was leaning on crutches, looked at the huge fleet following him.
He just wanted to laugh loudly. At this time, he couldn't seem to be groveling next to Wang Sun, but instead showed the pride of having everything under control.
"So what if Nanhuang fails? Why don't Wang Sun reuse me? Such a large fleet is almost the same as the Ninth Fleet under the command..." Shopkeeper Liu became more and more excited as he spoke. Finally, with a sinister look on his face, he gritted his teeth and said: "
Those bastards who broke my leg in the first place will definitely kill you when I complete the mission of Wang Sun...and those northern merchants I met in the Southern Wasteland, I will find you sooner or later..."
Just as he was getting angry, a call suddenly came from his ears: "Shopkeeper Liu!"
"Ouch!" Shopkeeper Liu was startled, threw his crutches out, and fell towards the deck.
"Shopkeeper Liu, be careful!" The young man who called him screamed and quickly reached out to hold him.
After his body stabilized, shopkeeper Liu breathed a sigh of relief, raised his hand and slapped the young man on the head, cursing: "You are a ghost, there is no sound in the corridor. You are so startled, do you want to scare me to death?"
!”
Forget about the grievances in the young man's heart, this is the sea, okay? The waves are so loud, it's weird that you can hear my footsteps...
"Oh, what's your expression? You're still not convinced, are you?" Shopkeeper Liu said, raising his hand and giving the young man another slap.
"Shopkeeper Liu, I didn't call you loudly..." The young man was about to cry. Shopkeeper Liu is too difficult to serve. I see it's windy outside and you're lame, so I kindly ask you to go back.
, are you...
"Damn it, I dare to be so stubborn and rebel against you!" Shopkeeper Liu was even more angry. You are still not convinced that I have the power? It means I have no authority, right?
"Bah bang bang..." Shopkeeper Liu slapped the young man on the head continuously. His extremely expanded power made him look like a nouveau riche. The young man's reply made him feel that he was being provoked, and of course he wanted to establish his authority.
The young man was beaten so hard that he screamed, held his head with both hands, and let go of Shopkeeper Liu... He had thrown away his crutches and relied on the young man to support him. Now when the young man let go, he couldn't stand firm on one leg and fell down.
He landed on the ground, his face touching the deck so intimately.
Shopkeeper Liu felt like his nose had been squashed, snot and tears burst out instantly, his two front teeth also collapsed, and his mouth was filled with the smell of blood.
"I'm your uncle!" Shopkeeper Liu suddenly raised his head and cursed loudly, but because his front teeth were chipped, his words were leaky and his words were not spoken lightly.
The young man was also frightened. Shopkeeper Liu was now the boss of the fleet, so killing himself was just a joke.
"Shopkeeper Liu, Shopkeeper Liu, are you okay..." The young man rushed to Shopkeeper Liu and helped him up tremblingly.
"I'll fucking kill you... Come on, come on, where are all the dead people? Chop up this bastard and feed it to the fish... Wuwu..." Shopkeeper Liu's shouts shocked the young man.
Terrified, she quickly reached out and covered his mouth.
"Shopkeeper Liu, you can't kill me. I have a plan that will speed up your plan on the mainland and achieve your goal as soon as possible!" the young man said quickly, fearing that he would be thrown into the sea to feed the fish if it was too late.
Sure enough, upon hearing the young man's words, Shopkeeper Liu immediately calmed down, his excitement gradually calmed down, and his eyes narrowed.
"How can you die again!" Shopkeeper Liu was speechless again, and he raised his hand to cover his mouth.
The young man was afraid that Shopkeeper Liu would throw him into the sea to feed the fish, so of course he did not dare to delay. He said as quickly as he could: "Shopkeeper Liu, I think it is better not to transport these silverwares to Dachen first, but to hold them in our hands for a while.
!”
"Oh?" Shopkeeper Liu raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why?"
"Didn't you say that our main purpose this time is to make friends with high-level officials of major countries? Cuiyin's reputation has been established now. The less it is sold, the more precious it is, and the nobles will have more dignity in their hands..."
"Eh! That's right... you still have some skills!" Shopkeeper Liu's eyes lit up, as if he had forgotten about the fall just now, and he patted the young man's shoulder lightly: "Tell me your specific thoughts!"
"Okay!" The young man nodded and said: "We are holding on to our Cuiyin and telling the merchants in Dachen that Cuiyin resources are limited and it is impossible to produce so much in a short time..."
Shopkeeper Liu frowned and said, "But in this case, wouldn't we have to give up part of the high-end market?"
"Let's do this first to heighten the atmosphere. Then we will hold a high-quality pure silver exhibition, specially inviting the upper-class nobles from various countries! However, we only put out a small amount of high-quality pure silver, so that very few people can buy it...
That's it, the less you can get, the better things are, and they will value fine silverware more.
, it will be more convenient for Shopkeeper Liu to make friends with these powerful people later... The purpose of occupying the market is to have an impact. Now that the impact has arrived, it doesn’t matter even if we give up some! If Shopkeeper Liu doesn’t want to give up, we can take Cuiyin after the trade fair.
Divide into three, six or nine grades, which will further enhance the quality of fine silverware..."
Listening to the young man's eloquent explanation, shopkeeper Liu kept nodding his head, and he also looked at the young man with special eyes. This boy really has some abilities.
After a long while, the young man finished speaking and asked: "Shopkeeper Liu, what do you think of my plan?"
"It's a good idea to die!" Shopkeeper Liu said quietly, grinning, showing two newly broken front teeth, his appearance was indescribably weird, and he lightly patted the young man's shoulder with his right hand.
"Huh~" The young man finally breathed a sigh of relief and felt cold sweat on his back.
"Come here, chop this thing into pieces and throw it into the sea to feed the fish!" Shopkeeper Liu was still laughing when he suddenly said this.
"Ah?" The young man was completely dumbfounded, what the hell is going on... Then he was shocked, I fucked your uncle, you are too poisonous, you can hide the bird behind you!
Although he was scolding Shopkeeper Liu in his heart, he could not be like this on the outside. The young man knelt down on the deck, cried bitterly, and shouted in a hoarse voice: "Shopkeeper Liu, please spare my life..."
"Excuse me, look at what I'm like now. I've thrown away my crutches and my teeth are all broken. If I don't kill you if you do something wrong, how can you control me in the future?" Shopkeeper Liu said, covering his mouth. Finally, there was no air leakage.
"I didn't mean to do it on purpose. For the sake of my hard work in giving you advice..." the young man continued to cry.
"Yes, speaking of which, I should also thank you. You have done everything I should do... If you do it this way, it will not be chopped into pieces, but the whole thing will be fed to the fish in the sea!" Shopkeeper Liu laughed.
The young man immediately understood what Shopkeeper Liu meant, and immediately gave himself a warning and said loudly: "That was not my idea, it was all Shopkeeper Liu's idea, it was your idea!"
Shopkeeper Liu smiled and patted the young man on the shoulder: "Do you really think so?" (To be continued...)
