Chapter 471 Big Business
Many people have already arrived at the palace.
From the main gate, to the garden in the mansion, and then to the main hall.
There are people sitting everywhere.
Lu Wanyin just glanced at him lightly and looked away.
The looks those people cast on the two of them were even more curious.
“Who are these two people?”
"There are so many guests, and this is the first time I've seen the steward personally escort someone here."
"Looking at the direction, it's heading towards the main hall. People in that place have a good relationship with the Wang family master."
"I'll look into it carefully when I get back, and I'll definitely get to know him if I have the chance."
All the way into the main hall.
The steward found a slightly out-of-the-way seat in the hall and ushered them in: "You two, please sit here."
This location is quite remote.
It's a great place to stay and listen to gossip.
They're not here to show off.
Lu Wanyin was very satisfied: "Thank you very much, manager."
Those sitting here are obviously important people.
The money Xie Jingci paid was enough to accommodate them.
As soon as the steward left, people immediately surrounded them and said, "You two look unfamiliar. I wonder where you are from?"
Lu Wanyin lowered her eyes and teased the child without responding.
Nowadays, there are still few women who are in charge of the family.
Not to mention that she is still relying on her husband's dodder image.
Xie Jingci smiled slightly and nodded to everyone at the table as a greeting: "My wife and I are merchants from the wilderness..."
He repeated to the people present what he had already said two or three times.
When everyone heard this, they suddenly understood.
Looking at Xie Jingci's eyes again, they inevitably became a little more casual.
He was just an unknown merchant, not something they needed to spend too much energy on.
Lu Wanyin and the other person were also happy and comfortable.
While waiting for the food to be served, his ears were already perked up.
"I heard that the Emperor and Empress' departure from the capital this time was not the route previously announced. Do you think they got any information?"
"It's none of your business. This place is remote, but no one would come here for nothing."
The person who spoke at the beginning laughed and said, "Yes, come on, I'll toast you a glass."
Thank you for bringing me along for such an important opportunity."
Lu Wanyin frowned slightly.
Chance
What opportunity
It's just a marriage proposal for a wealthy businessman's daughter. How can it be such an important opportunity?
Both of them were surprised, but neither showed it.
He just stared at the table, as if waiting for the food to be served, and didn't want to think about anything else except eating.
A trace of contempt flashed in the eyes of the others, and they quickly looked away.
As expected, they were just two small businessmen who came for the reputation of Yipintang chef.
They are from wealthy families, so how could they care about a meal?
After a while, a wealthy middle-aged man walked in with a gentle young man.
He toasted everyone present in turn: "Everyone, today is my daughter's big day, thank you for your presence."
Everyone below laughed in agreement, "Alright, there's no need for formalities. We're all family, Patriarch Wang, so let's get straight to the point."
Patriarch Wang also laughed and said, "This brother is really anxious. In that case, I will get straight to the point."
I know that you are all having a hard time.
After the new emperor ascended the throne, he disregarded his status and even tried to take away the business of small merchants like us.
If we don't raise food prices, how can we support our families?
But the Queen has ordered the control of grain prices and has kept the prices so low, which is to cut off our source of income.
My Wang family couldn't bear to see our colleagues suffer, so we went through a lot of trouble to contact a major buyer of Shui Yu.
The price he offered was three times that of our Dasheng.
Now is the autumn harvest time. If you all stock up on grain and transport the remaining grain to Shuiyu, you can make a fortune."
The eyes of the people below all lit up: "So this is really the righteousness of Patriarch Wang!"
Lu Wanyin finally understood why the manager had gathered them in the main hall.
Everyone here wants to do business, and their identities have been strictly screened.
Otherwise, if these words were to get out, the Wang family would be executed.
It was also because Xie Jingci paid enough silver to make the manager bewitched and let these two people of unknown origin in.
Amidst a burst of ecstatic thanks, the head of the Wang family, along with his new son-in-law, had already finished toasting a round of wine in the main hall.
When he saw Lu Wanyin's table, he was stunned for a moment when he saw the two of them.
After glancing at the people at their table, he relaxed his brow.
They probably thought that the two were in cahoots with them.
The head of the Wang family trusts the person in charge quite a bit.
Unfortunately, it was a wrong decision this time.
After walking around, Patriarch Wang prepared to go and take a look at the tables outside.
After all, we all paid money to come in, so we have to save face.
After he left, Lu Wanyin and the other person looked at each other and sighed at the same time.
The people at the same table looked puzzled: "Why are you two sighing? Isn't it good to have such a big business now?"
There shouldn't be any problem with these two people, right?
Xie Jingci shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly: "To be honest, my husband and I used to do business in the wilderness.
Although the business is not particularly big, I have saved some money.
Unfortunately, this time when I came to Dasheng Capital, I lost nearly half of my family property.
In order to make up for the deficit, all the grain that was stored was sold.
I never thought that I would catch such a good time. I don’t know where to store food any more.”
The eyes of the people at the same table lit up: "Brother, you are actually doing business in the wilderness.
The food from that wilderness is unique in the world, both in quantity and quality.
Unfortunately, the wilderness is too popular nowadays, and for small businesses like us who arrived late, it is extremely difficult to even open a shop.
You have a good vision, and you have already established your business in the wilderness early on."
He looked at Xie Jingci, his eyes turned, and his expression became more intimate: "Brother, I admire your vision.
We have the good fortune to gather together today and sit at the same table, so you and I are brothers.
Please take care of my business matters in the future."
He was calculating in his mind.
Judging from what they just said, it seems that the couple is very short of money and is worrying about how to store food.
As it happened, they had a shop in the wilderness.
If he could take advantage of this opportunity and buy back the shop at a low price, he would make a fortune.
Even if the price is a bit higher, it doesn’t matter.
The wild shop is no longer available for purchase with just money.
Xie Jingci was touched and raised his glass quickly: "In that case, thank you for your support, brother."
The wealthy businessman didn't know what he was thinking about, and smiled broadly: "Haha, no problem, no problem."
Lu Wanyin lowered her eyes slightly and turned her gaze slightly to meet Xie Jingci's.
Very good, now it's her turn to assist.
