As the New Year has gone by, the weather has become relatively warmer, and many foreign merchants have begun to appear in Zhangjiacun to purchase goods.
The caravans sent out by Zhangjiacun also carried various commodities to various places in the Tang Dynasty.
No news has come back about the war in the north, and it is estimated that the war will not start until spring.
After all, sheep, horses and other livestock on the grassland will also start to breed at that time. A war at this time can eliminate the Turkic people's reserve force to a large extent.
Without the new crop of livestock in spring, their life will be even more difficult in winter.
I don’t know if the Turkic tribal leaders will regret it, but they will pay the price for doing something wrong.
Zhang San came to the commune that day and met again the Chang'an businessmen who had canceled their orders.
Seeing Zhang San coming in, these people were very embarrassed, but the Cui family's Fuyun Candy Store was too dark, and they had no choice but to give up this type of business, but candy products are now the most popular products in Datang
One, they certainly don’t want to give up easily.
"I heard from Muramasa that you want to continue purchasing goods from Xingsheng Trading Company?" Zhang San said casually after sitting down.
"Yes, Sir, we also know that what we did before was not honest, but we also implore Sir to give us a way out and let us continue to purchase goods from Xingsheng Trading Company." Shopkeeper Lu said with a sad face, looking pitiful.
The appearance of Xi.
Zhang San did not look at him, but asked Muramasa who was standing aside: "Didn't I say that I would not do business with them in the future? Why did you still invite them in?"
When several people heard Zhang San's cold and angry tone, they quickly stood up, knelt on the ground, and shouted: "Sir, please do me a favor. We were blinded by lard at first, but it is the Cui family who
You are being forced, there is nothing we can do." A shopkeeper surnamed Liu cried.
"Sir, the old man just felt that although these people were not honest, they had cooperated with us for some time. Seeing how pitiful they were, he soft-heartedly asked them to stay and wanted to ask your opinion. I think since they
With a repentant heart, should we give them another chance?"
Muramasa and Zhang San, one played a white face, and the other played a bad face.
"Sire, please give us another chance. We promise there will never be a next time." Shopkeeper Lu swore.
Of course Zhang San would not agree so easily, otherwise they would have thought that Xingsheng Trading Company lacked a distributor like them.
"Haha, do you think our Xingsheng Trading Company means you can come and leave whenever you want? You used to be afraid of the Cui family, but now you are not afraid anymore?" Zhang San said coldly.
"We dare not hide it from Sir Alex. We are naturally afraid, but we also have a family and we have to survive. Their Fuyun Candy Store is too dark and the goods they give us are defective products. We really have no choice.
Ah, even if the money and goods are cleared, we can't go to the government to report them." Shopkeeper Liu cried bitterly.
Since ancient times, people have not fought with officials, let alone the humblest merchants. How could they fight against the Cui family? Therefore, if something happened, they could only admit that they were unlucky.
"Hmph! According to you, do you think our Xingsheng Trading Company is easy to bully?"
Hearing Zhang San's dissatisfaction, shopkeeper Liu quickly slapped himself twice on the mouth and said, "I don't dare. How dare you have such an idea? Please forgive me."
"Sir, you see they are very sincere this time, why don't you give them a chance?" Muramasa persuaded again.
Shopkeeper Liu, Shopkeeper Lu and others all looked at Muramasa gratefully.
Zhang San felt that it was almost done, so he relaxed and said: "You can buy goods from us again if you want, but I warn you not to do it again, otherwise I will let you know that I am not someone to be trifled with.
"
Everyone was very excited when they heard that Zhang San finally relented.
"But you don't have the same price as before. It's the same as our ordinary merchants." Zhang San added.
Everyone has no objections. Being able to get goods from Xingsheng Trading Company again is already a good result. How can anyone dare to have other ideas?
However, after a lot of back and forth, the current purchase price was a full 20% higher than before. Everyone's heart was bleeding. They blamed all this on Fuyun Candy Store, and cursed the Cui family in their hearts.
After the matters here were dealt with, Zhang San left, leaving the remaining matters to Muramasa.
In Chang'an Xingsheng Trading Company, Wang Hongping checked the shipment status as usual and asked someone to record the daily sales data.
"Is this the most famous candy store in Chang'an?" a bearded man asked the person next to him.
"Yes, Oris, there are many products inside that we have never seen before." Although the man was dressed as a Han Chinese, judging from his skin color and curly hair, he was also a Hu businessman.
"Welcome, what do you two want to buy?" Zhang Li's wife, Huang Yirong, saw two Hu merchants coming to the door, and greeted them warmly.
Zhang Sanyuan said before that when you open a business, you should not judge people by their appearance. Everyone who comes is a guest, so Huang Yirong did not treat the two Hu businessmen any differently.
When the Hu Shang named Oris saw this woman, he smiled and welcomed the guests. He was very affectionate, especially the welcome words, which made people feel like spring breeze.
"Hello, we are from the distant Caliphate and want to see your word candy." Oris said to Huang Yirong in broken Chinese.
And he showed his identity. At this time, Datang was preparing to go to war with the Turks. It would be bad if he was misunderstood as a Turk.
"Okay, please come here. The text candies produced by our Xingsheng Trading Company are very popular. You guys are really discerning." Huang Yirong didn't care about this matter, because it was impossible for the Turks to run to Chang'an openly at this time.
Oris and the two came to the shelves and were amazed when they saw the various candies and sugar products neatly arranged in categories.
"Is that house made entirely of candy?" Oris asked in surprise when passing by the candy house.
"Of course, you came by chance. If it had been a little later, you wouldn't have seen it. The weather will be getting warmer soon, and these candy decorations will have to be taken down." Huang Yirong was very proud to see Oris's surprised look.
said.
"Oh, that's such a pity." Oris said with regret after hearing this.
"How many word candies do you two need?" Huang Yirong asked when he came to the word candies container.
"That's right, we want to cooperate with you to sell this kind of sugar. The people there like your culture very much, and they also like the sugar produced here.
When Huang Yirong heard that this person was here to discuss cooperation, and he couldn't decide on this, he said to the two of them: "I'm sorry, distinguished guests, I can't decide on this. You guys sit there for a while, and I'll call our shopkeeper."
."
"Okay, I'm done." Oris said very gentlemanly, and then took the person next to him to sit in the rest area where Huang Yirong mentioned.
