Ming Zhiyuan walked around for about half an hour before arriving at Yangxing Street. Standing on the street, he found that it was really noisy and lively.
Most of the people walking on the street are dressed in gorgeous clothes, and they look like they belong to wealthy families.
He looked around from shop to shop until he saw a shop called Qianyuan Jiapin.
He thought to himself: This kind of shop should be the merchant that often goes in and out of the high-ranking cadre border.
So Ming Zhiyuan strolled in. There was a boy standing at the door of the shop and bowed, "Welcome to the shop. I wonder what you would like to buy? The shop just brought back some Qiancheng silk embroidery from the Qianyuan Kingdom. Linzhou round fans, Huizhou pen and ink, and Wuzhou square inkstones."
Ming Zhiyuan looked at the left and right shelves and said, "I'll take a look before talking."
The boy raised his hand and said, "Please help yourself, sir. I'll make you a cup of tea. It's also the white rock tea our shopkeeper brought back from Fuzhou in the Qianyuan Dynasty. The tea soup is bright in color, fragrant and sweet." The wisps linger in your throat for a long time. Guest, please try it first, and we will give you a free taste."
Ming Zhiyuan was startled: This businessman in Daxing City must have a very good service attitude. He is so considerate and speaks nicely. Think about how his family used to do timber business. When someone comes, he first asks how much he wants? I am impatient if I want less.
In comparison, this is called business.
Ming Zhiyuan looked carefully at the items on the shelves. Most of them were relatively exquisite toys, such as glass cups, Qianyuan rice paper, extremely exquisite and lifelike embroidered silk scarves, and round fans.
The more expensive ones include the gold crested red hairpin and jadeite finger ring made by Qianyuan craftsmen.
There is even a hollow cold crystal bracelet inlaid with a circle of pearls. It seems to be a magic weapon with a protective function.
The shopkeeper sat in front of the counter. The shopkeeper watched Ming Zhiyuan pick up each item, examine them carefully, and then put them down again.
Ming Zhiyuan was originally a son of a wealthy family. Although he was already down and out, the magnanimity he had developed since childhood was still there.
The shopkeeper looked at it for a while and then came out to talk to Ming Zhiyuan. Ming Zhiyuan was also talkative. He discussed with the shopkeeper how good the goods were? How much was the purchase price? How far was the purchase? How should the price be set so as not to lose the hard work of transportation?
His own family is also in business. Although he doesn't really understand how to implement the business knowledge, his father has been nagging in his ears since he was a child. He can remember some of it, and the more he talks with the shopkeeper, the more speculative he becomes. Tea is also After drinking a few drinks, Ming Zhiyuan got up and invited the shopkeeper to have dinner and drinks with him.
Despite the shopkeeper's repeated postponements, Ming Zhiyuan just refused and insisted on making more friends with this belated friend.
The shopkeeper had no choice but to make an appointment with him to wait until the store was closed and then go to Zailaiju on Yangxing Street to chat and have a few drinks.
Ming Zhiyuan left the shop first and found the restaurant called Zailaiju. He booked a seat with the waiter and ordered a few side dishes, then sat there and waited attentively for the shopkeeper to arrive.
It didn't take long for the sky to darken. After taking stock of the accounts, the shopkeeper came to the private table. After being polite, they both sat down.
The shopkeeper said, "Mr. Ming has just come to Daxing City. Today, I will be the host to cleanse Mr. Ming's dust."
Ming Zhiyuan shook his head vigorously, "That's not okay. We agreed that I would be the host. Shopkeeper Lan and I hit it off instantly. Shopkeeper Lan must not compete with me today, otherwise I won't be able to drink the wine and the food won't taste good."
Shopkeeper Lan declined for a long time. Seeing Ming Zhiyuan's sincerity, he couldn't resist anymore and had no choice but to agree. The two began to talk about business again.
In fact, Ming Zhiyuan has already talked about all the business information he heard from his father. If he talks about this topic again, he will not be able to find anything useful anymore.
So I raised my glass frequently. Shopkeeper Lan also had a good capacity for drinking. Whenever he raised his glass, he would drink until it was dry.
After the two drank for three rounds, Ming Zhiyuan began to ask shopkeeper Lan about Qianyuan customs, and brought the topic to sightseeing.
Shopkeeper Lan said that their shop has always been on the high-ranking border and purchased goods in Chongzhou, a large city in the Qianyuan Kingdom. Chongzhou was the distribution center for various goods in the Qianyuan Kingdom.
Their owner has a designated purchasing place there. Not only is the purchasing price cheaper than other stores, but once novelty items come out, you can pay half the price in advance and get a small amount back.
If it sells well, sell it. If it doesn't sell well, you can take it back and the seller will refund the money.
Ming Zhiyuan secretly thought, no wonder Qianyuan and Tianyang could become the richest and most prosperous empire in Tianyuan Continent. Their business philosophy could catch up with the world of his previous life.
Ming Zhiyuan asked around and over again about the border crossing situation. Just as he inquired, there were only two customs checkpoints for goods entering and exiting the Gaoyue border after Daxing City.
Taxes and fees are specially collected for the entry and exit of large caravans. Some small roads are closed to vehicles and horses, but people can walk on them, and no one patrols them.
However, after arriving at the Qianyuan Pass, there is a checkpoint every ten miles and a sentry post every twenty miles. The patrol team patrols back and forth at the border all the time. The guard changes are carried out day and night.
Ming Zhiyuan was worried as soon as he heard this, what should he do? It's easier to get out of Gao, but it's difficult to get into Qianyuan. He listened to Shopkeeper Lan for a long time, and then asked Shopkeeper Lan what kind of food would be needed for people like him who wanted to visit Qianyuan. What documents can be used to pass the customs and enter the Qianyuan country?
Shopkeeper Lan picked up his fingers and began to count: "First, you need to know the identity plate of the Yuhuo country where you are, sir. Secondly, you need the permission document issued by the Yuhuo country to travel to other countries for business reasons. Thirdly, you need to check the checkpoint when crossing the border from Yuhuo to Gao. With these three documents, you can enter Qianyuan with the seal of permission to enter the Qianyuan Kingdom at the checkpoint."
Ming Zhiyuan listened calmly and said that he had always wanted to travel around since he was a child, and always dreamed of visiting every place in Tianyuan Continent one day.
He had long admired the prosperity of the Qianyuan Dynasty. He wanted to go boating on the West Lake in Huzhou and see the Salt Lake in Xiaoninghai in Fuzhou. He also longed for the ten-mile sweet-scented osmanthus in Wuzhou.
Shopkeeper Lan drank to his heart's content and only said, "Master Ming, if you want to go and are alone and afraid of the difficult journey, you can wait a while and accompany our caravan to Chongzhou to purchase goods. We can also take care of you on the way."
Ming Zhiyuan hurriedly thanked him, and kept talking about wine and food, and compliments endlessly. He only made the shopkeeper Lan very drunk, and then he called the restaurant's sedan to take him home.
The next day, Ming Zhiyuan came to the shop again and invited Shopkeeper Lan to have a drink with him. When Shopkeeper Lan saw Ming Zhiyuan, he even expressed his shame, saying that he only had a limited capacity for drinking and lost his temper after drinking.
Ming Zhiyuan quickly comforted him: "You and I are both temperamental people. What's the point of drinking if you don't get drunk? My brother also came home drunk last night. When he got to the door of the inn, he even scolded the waiter for not opening the door in time. ."
Shopkeeper Lan pulled Ming Zhiyuan aside and said: "If Mr. Ming wants to go to Chongzhou with my caravan, he will have to wait for a few days. My caravan goes to Chongzhou to purchase goods once every half a month. It has been just a few days since the last time." Two or three days, and we have to wait another ten days before we can set off together."
Ming Zhiyuan thanked Shopkeeper Lan again.
Shopkeeper Lan grabbed him and said, "This is all a trivial matter. Mr. Ming only needs to take the paperwork and hand it over with the caravan when the time comes. Bao Zhun will immediately stamp the permission stamp and send it back. Our boss always takes this route.
They are all acquaintances and will not embarrass the young master."
