Chapter 99
Jiang Shu and his companions entered the inner room and were immediately shocked when they saw the display in the room.
Rows and rows of silk were placed everywhere, even the walls were hung with silk cloth.
Jiang Shu's eyes lit up and he raised his hand to touch each piece of silk.
The smooth and slightly cool touch of silk and the dazzling array of patterns and styles shocked Jiang Shu even though he was used to silk.
Shopkeeper Liu had been running a silk shop in Jiang's for half his life, but he had never seen so many patterns and colors.
The three major silk merchants in Lin'an are not in vain.
"All the silks displayed here are the silks of the Wang family, and three of them are unique to the Wang family." The shopkeeper explained.
"Oh? Those three?" Jiang Shu became interested as soon as he heard it.
In order to show their status and uniqueness, the nobles like rare or unique things.
If they can find rare silks and attract the favor of the nobles, then Jiang Ji Silk Manor will definitely be able to make a great comeback.
"Young Master, please follow me." The shopkeeper took them inside.
"This is the silk woven and dyed with the Wang family's unique secret technique. It is unique in the entire Lin'an Prefecture."
If it is unique in Lin'an Prefecture, then it is also unique in the world.
Jiang Shu was afraid that he didn't know the goods, so he asked the shopkeeper Liu to come forward to take a look.
Look carefully at the luster, rub gently to listen to the sound, touch the skin, rub to feel the temperature...
The shopkeeper looked at the side, with praise in his eyes: "You are experts at first glance."
Jiang Shu smiled and said: "No, no, we are successful merchants, you are source merchants, these skills are nothing in front of you."
"Young master, you are humble." The shopkeeper was polite.
After carefully inspecting, the shopkeeper Liu nodded
to Jiang Shu: "Boss, these are all top-grade goods." The shopkeeper smiled slightly when he heard the address from the shopkeeper Liu to Jiang Shu.
Such a young and handsome boss is really rare. I wonder who he is? I hope he is a big merchant and can buy more goods.
"Okay, then let's go outside to talk." Jiang Shu walked out.
Several people came to the guest seat and sat down. The shopkeeper asked anxiously: "How much silk goods do you want to buy?"
"It depends on your shipping price. If it is expensive, buy less and go back to try. If it is cheap, buy more."
Jiang Shu tasted the West Lake Longjing tea carefully, his expression was calm and leisurely and he was not in a hurry.
The shopkeeper was also a shrewd man. He said clearly: "Shangjing is two thousand miles away from Lin'an. You must be in great need of it if you have come here. Whether it is quality or price, the silk goods of my Wang family are the most reasonable in Lin'an Prefecture. You can go and ask about it."
Jiang Shu just smiled and said nothing.
Shopkeeper Liu took over the conversation at the right time and said: "Shangjing is under the feet of the emperor, and there are many nobles. The food, clothing and daily necessities are all the best. If it is not the best quality, it will not be in their eyes."
Shopkeeper Liu said this to tell the shopkeeper that the quality of the silk goods they sold before was not bad. At the same time, it was also a subtle irony that the Wang family's silk goods had never been brought to Shangjing, so they were not necessarily that good.
The two of them competed secretly, testing each other's bottom line.
Jiang Shu and Tan Yu drank tea and listened and learned silently.
Seeing that the two had almost finished comparing, Jiang Shu put down her teacup and said, "I heard a gossip from the Wang family on the way here. It was said that Boss Wang was seriously ill and the young master was not good at running the business. I wonder if this is true?"
Jiang Shu's words were very subtle, but the shopkeeper knew that since he could say this, he knew the truth. After
taking a deep look at them, the shopkeeper nodded sadly, "It's a pity that the old boss has put in so much effort. Alas!"
Jiang Shu hurriedly said, "I have no other intention in asking this, I just want to know how long the Wang family's silk goods can be supplied."
To be honest, the quality of the Wang family's silk goods is very good, and she really wants to cooperate with them for a long time. But according to the way Young Master Wang does things, I am afraid that this will not be possible.
"Since you have heard about the Wang family, I have nothing to hide. To be honest, I don't know what will happen in the future." The shopkeeper shook his head and sighed heavily.
Jiang Shu did not force it, and only talked about the present situation: "If we want more, can the shopkeeper decide the price?"
"This..." The shopkeeper hesitated for a moment, and said cautiously: "Young Master, please first draft the required categories and quantities, and then tell me the bottom price, and I will ask my old boss."
Boss Wang is seriously ill and bedridden, and all the trivial matters are decided by the shopkeeper and Young Master Wang. Only big transactions will trouble Boss Wang to make decisions.
"Okay, bring paper and pen." Jiang Shu was decisive and did not hesitate.
The Wang family could not wait, and Jiangji could not wait either. There was no need to delay each other.
After the paper and pen were brought, Jiang Shu directly asked Shopkeeper Liu to write.
Jiangji Yizhuang has always been managed by Shopkeeper Liu, and Shopkeeper Liu knows the required quantity and price better than she does.
After handing the written paper to the shopkeeper, Jiang Shu stood up and said, "The shopkeeper is busy, so we won't bother you."
"Take care, young master." The shopkeeper saw them downstairs and asked about their inn.
After leaving Wang's manor, it was still early, so Jiang Shu decided to go shopping in other shops.
Not far away, he saw a magnificent manor on the busy street, with people coming in and out in front of the shop.
Jiang Shu and shopkeeper Liu looked at each other and walked in.
Although they wanted to buy goods from the Wang family, they were not sure that they would succeed. Besides, the Wang family could not cooperate for a long time and could only supply goods temporarily, so they had to find another source.
Several people went into the shop to look around, asked about the prices, and asked the shopkeeper about the cooperative pricing.
The shopkeeper was casual, thinking that they were just asking for fun, and casually perfunctorily said a few words.
Jiang Shu didn't care, and walked out and walked around casually.
"The business of that shop is very good, and the price may be too high to bargain." Shopkeeper Liu analyzed carefully.
Jiang Shu nodded: "Let's take a look at other shops, and we don't have to focus on the top three."
The top three shops in Lin'an Prefecture are of good quality. But the ones ranked lower are not necessarily bad.
The source merchant that Jiang Ji cooperated with before was not very famous, but the quality of the goods was excellent and there was no mistake.
If it weren't for the Fang family poaching, Jiang Ji would definitely cooperate with it for a long time.
"The Jiangnan water town is just like something out of a painting, so beautiful." Tan Yu didn't know much about business, and only cared about appreciating the beautiful scenery.
Jiang Shu also looked closely upon hearing this.
Unlike the bustling and prosperous Shangjing, Lin'an is picturesque and full of poetic sentiments, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.
The three continued to walk forward, and the sky gradually darkened.
The setting sun and the sunset glow complemented each other, reminding passers-by that night is coming.
"Master, the post station is ahead, and it will be dark soon. We can only rest here." Zhuiyun opened the car door and reported to Yu Zheng.
Yu Zheng looked forward after hearing this, and nodded with a frown.
According to the time calculation, she should have arrived in Lin'an.
But they still need two days, and after arriving in Lin'an, they have to inspect the river bank first and decide on the construction matters. I don't know when they will have time to look for her.
Mo's eyes looked at the setting sun in the sky, and his hands on his knees clenched into fists.
Although Yu Zheng was anxious, he also knew what was important.
Although this trip may be suspected of partiality, it is also a sincere effort to prevent and control floods in Jiangnan and to seek welfare for the people.
Therefore, Yu Zheng suppressed his emotions and put government affairs first.
