Chapter 40 Master Chu
Liu Mingjie laughed and shouted, "How did you find time to come here, my Lord?"
Zhou Shaoyu said in a good mood: "I heard from Li Rong that you were selling soap here, so I came to take a look."
Xie Yanyan was talking to Ma Qiao about the deal.
"10 taels of silver per piece, it's unpackaged. 1,000 pieces is what Lord Li and I promised you, it won't be reduced by a single piece. If you want the rest, you can pay according to the packaged price."
"The wooden box is packed with 16 taels of silver, and the paper box is packed with 13 taels of silver. If you want some, take some. If you don't want it, we will sell it to others."
Ma Qiao gritted his teeth and said, "The box is only a few copper coins at most, 16 taels of silver, that's too expensive."
"These boxes are unique in the world."
Xie Yanyan didn't want to argue with him any more, so she just showed him the wooden box. She opened the box and showed him the soap. The soap was bigger and the wooden box was also very delicate.
Maqiao suggested that they did not want the packaging, but only the soap inside.
Xie Yanyan only had two words: "No".
Zhou Shaoyu picked up a piece of soap and said, "I have traveled all over the Qin Empire, but this is the first time I have seen something as rare as soap. Go to Tongyuan Silver Shop and say hello. I want all these soaps."
Ma Qiao suddenly became anxious: "My brother and I said half a month ago that you should give me 1,000 bars of soap. You can't take them all, my lord."
"You are not happy doing business. Since you can't afford the money, don't stop others from making money."
Ma Qiao was about to cry: "I didn't say I couldn't afford the money."
As they talked, the people around them got anxious and went to Xie Yanyan and Xie Yong to reason with them: "Brother, how can you let others buy all of them? We haven't even bought a single piece yet."
"That's right, giving 1,000 yuan to this dealer is too much."
Liu Mingjie thought about it and wanted to shirk the 1,000 yuan from Ma Qiao: "Brother Ma, look, everyone is fighting for the 16 taels of silver. We are leaving the silver there without making any profit. Do you think we are fools?"
"Last time you were in Ruyang City, you raised the price on the spot to 15 taels of silver per piece. We all saw it. Aren't you too unkind?"
After he said that, Ma Qiao suddenly remembered: "You're watching over there? I have no choice. Everyone is asking me for the goods."
"If you have a way, you will definitely sell it for more than 15 taels, right? We spent so much effort to make a bar of soap, and the cost is almost 10 taels of silver. Is it reasonable for you to sell it right here?"
Ma Qiao said angrily: "Once the deal is done, the goods are mine. How much I sell them for has nothing to do with you."
"Brother Liu, stop talking. This 1,000 yuan was agreed upon by Lord Li and I. He also paid a deposit of 100 taels of silver. Just give him the amount we agreed on."
Xie Yanyan shouted to the crowd again: "If you want to buy, pay and take the goods immediately. If you don't want them, give them to Prince Zhou to take away."
She doesn't like to do retail business, and it would be better to have more wholesalers. However, Zhou Shaoyu is obviously not in this business, he is just helping.
Nanyang City was an important trading market in the Former Qin Dynasty. Merchants from the north and south, and even many merchants from the Western Rong and Southern Barbarians, liked to purchase rare materials from the Central Plains here.
The vendors and wealthy people who were originally waiting and watching started to pay money, you offered three dollars, he offered five dollars, and soon a lot of goods were sold.
"Sir, look at the carriage behind."
Following the direction indicated by Zhou Jin, Zhou Shaoyu saw a carriage slowly approaching and stopped five steps away. There was no marking, but he recognized the material of the carriage: it was golden nanmu.
He concentrated and listened carefully, but could hardly hear the breath of the people in the car.
He is a top-notch master.
He couldn't help but carefully step beside Xie Yanyan.
The cloth curtain of the nanmu carriage was opened by the blue-clothed servant in front, and a young man in white clothes showed his face, and his eyes met Zhou Shaoyu's.
"Prince Zhou," the other party greeted with a faint smile.
"Brother Chu."
The two of them chatted for a few words warmly, and Chu Xiwang walked to Xie Yanyan's stall, reached out and picked up a bar of soap, quite surprised.
"Someone gave me two recently. They are amazing for removing stains. Many people have been asking around where they can buy them. I didn't expect to find them here."
Liu Mingjie laughed and said, "Master Chu, do you want to buy it?"
"Well. Is this what you came up with?" Chu Xiwang held the soap without raising his head.
Xie Yanyan pricked up her ears hard. This man was really calm and remarkable. He actually had nothing on his mind.
"This was developed by Mr. Xie Sanxiao...Mr. Xie Sanxiao. However, if you want to get the goods, please contact our Lord Li."
"Oh?" Chu Xiwang had no expression on his face, and glanced at Xie Yanyan lightly like a dragonfly skimming the water.
[Mr. Xie? Isn't she Xie Anfeng's second daughter? ]
Xie Yanyan: This person actually investigated her?
"How much is it in total? What's the price?" Chu Xiwang asked again indifferently.
Liu Mingjie immediately said attentively: "The wooden box is a fine product, 16 taels of silver, and the paper box is a gift box, 13 taels of silver."
"From now on, you can hand everything over to Sihai Pavilion. It's up to you whether you pay me for each order or for each month."
"Okay. Second Master, we are going to Lingnan," Liu Mingjie pointed to the south, "How do we deliver the goods?"
"This is a small matter. I will have someone give you a list of Sihai Pavilion in a moment. You just need to deliver the soap to Sihai Pavilion. We will take as many as you bring."
Xie Yanyan was searching for information about Sihai Pavilion in her mind at this moment. She had no impression of Mr. Chu Erye and only knew that Sihai Pavilion mainly made jewelry and rouge and powder.
But why did Mr. Chu investigate her? And why did he pretend to be calm and make deals with them?
She never cooperates long-term with someone whose background she doesn't know.
Thinking of this, he said calmly: "Master Liu, I don't think it's appropriate to have an exclusive monopoly. Our main task at the moment is to reach Lingnan as soon as possible, and it's hard to determine what will happen in the future."
"I don't set the quantity. As long as you make it, I'll buy it all. You can decide the price." The conditions Chu Xiwang offered were very good.
No quantity limit, no price cut, no payment delay.
Liu Mingjie was determined to do it. What a great condition! Mr. Chu was famous for his loyalty. Cooperating with him was a thousand times better than setting up a stall on the street.
"No, let's discuss this later." She was firm.
Although Liu Mingjie really wanted to cooperate with Sihai Pavilion, Miss Xie San was not a fool. She must have a reason for not agreeing.
So he said apologetically: "Master Chu, we need to discuss this."
Chu Xiwang did not insist and said, "Well, you guys can discuss it slowly. The door of Sihai Pavilion is always open."
Ma Qiao felt bitter as he listened to this. He couldn't win against either Prince Zhou or Master Chu of Sihai Pavilion.
After much persuasion, his 1,000 bars of soap were finally taken away, but not even a single packaging box was given to him.
Zhou Shaoyu raised his eyebrows and looked at Xie Yanyan, who was dressed like a teenager, and said, "Give me the rest. I'll give you the price you said, one hand for silver and one hand for goods."
Xie Yanyan responded, and went to the inn with Ma Qiao to find Li Rong and go to the silver shop to handle the formalities.
Maqiao's silver is kept in Shengtai Silver House.
At present, among the sixteen surrounding countries including the Former Qin Dynasty, Shengtai Silver House is the largest and most reputable silver house.
Shengtai Silver House not only had its own branches in important cities of the Former Qin Dynasty, but also in imperial capitals of various countries.
Such a large silver shop has only been around for 15 years. Many martial arts masters, powerful lords, and even royal relatives have wanted to take advantage of it, but all have failed.
No one knows who is the mastermind behind the scenes.
