Shopkeeper Li nodded quickly, "Yes, of course. Why not? Mr. Kang has the goods?"
"I went to Yuezhou a while ago and have a thousand pieces of Yuezhou brocade I want to sell. They are now in my warehouse. If Manager Li is free, please come with me to take a look."
"When you're free, when you're free!" Shopkeeper Li instructed his clerk to keep an eye on the shop and followed Kang Yueran to her home.
The boxes were branded with the Yuezhou Qin family's logo. Shopkeeper Li smiled as soon as he saw it. "We also buy from the Qin family. Their Yuezhou brocade is of the best quality."
That means she won't make any money, but that doesn't matter. Kang Yueran said, "I made the decision because I heard that the Qin family is honest in business.
Shopkeeper Li, since you often place orders, you should know the prices. I don't want silver for these 1,000 pieces of Yuezhou brocade. I want to exchange them all for coarse cloth and cotton."
"That's a lot of money! When does Mr. Kang want it? I have to raise money for you now!"

Shopkeeper Li thought for a moment and said, "That's no problem. What's the price?"
"The cost and shipping fee for one thousand pieces of Yuezhou brocade is about 11,000 taels of silver. You should prepare coarse cloth and cotton for me at 11,000 taels, 30% coarse cloth and 70% cotton.
The coarse cloth and cotton will be exchanged at your normal selling price. I don’t care about the pattern of the coarse cloth, just a darker color will do, is that okay?”
Shopkeeper Li was delighted and said, "Okay, okay, let's do as Mr. Kang says." The profit from coarse cloth and cotton is more than one thousand taels.
"Well, Master, you have about 2,000 horses in your warehouse, right? We can buy the remaining 1,000 with silver."
