Chapter 97 Wants to take over her business in one go
‘There is a shop’ opened for business on the second day.
The reputation of being cheap and easy to use spread throughout the city. I heard that the items were sold out yesterday, so many people queued up early in the morning.
If there hadn't been a curfew in the city, I might have had to wait outside the shop all night.
There was still half an hour until the doors opened, and there were already over twenty people in line.
The question everyone is most worried about is, is it still in stock?
If you can't buy such cheap warm clothes, you can only buy expensive and not warm enough jackets.
It is also because of this batch of clothing from the Western Regions that several wealthy businessmen who have been hoarding the goods and raising the prices are now unable to sit still. The cotton-padded jackets that originally cost nearly thirty taels have also been reduced in price today.
But no matter how much it drops, it will never be lower than five taels.
No, they also sent people to inquire among them. They didn't believe that there was still much more goods from the Western Regions available!
It takes time to make clothes!
The shop was about to open, and several carriages arrived with boxes. Seeing such a sufficient supply of goods, the eyes of the people lining up became a little more eager.
The person who inquired about the news also turned around and went back to resume his life,
"The people responsible for the goods transported by the caravan from Yunzhou are all their confidants. They did not let outsiders handle them. I only saw that there were not many goods left in the warehouse. I heard that more goods will be shipped in."
The people in the seats rubbed the fan bones, "The cold-weather clothing from the Western Regions can help Daqi tide over the difficulties. It is a great achievement. They should hand over this business."
He has obtained the itinerary records of the caravan ships, and asked people to check the caravans that come and go with the Liu family, and be sure to catch them all.
There should be results today, and the business of this shop has come to an end.
Just when the business of the two shops was in full swing, a low-key-looking carriage stopped in front of the music shop opposite.
Here you can overlook the river bank and pier in the distance, and this is where King Cheng chose to watch the show.
At that time, a group of people suddenly broke into the noisy dock and among the porters coming and going.
The person who came had an official status and had a legitimate reputation. No one on the cargo ship dared to stop him, so he could only quietly send someone to notify Liu Zheng.
The boxes on the cargo ship contained something, but there were not so many Western Region goods that they could not withstand close inspection.
Liu Zheng was still on his way here in a hurry, thinking that no matter what, he would hold the person back first.
Another extremely flamboyant carriage arrived at Lefang first.
Seeing the bronze pendant hanging outside the car, the surroundings became as quiet as death.
There was no one in the entire capital who did not recognize this carriage, which was as luxurious as an imperial carriage.
No one dared to say anything wrong about him.
At the same time, in the private room, Wang Cheng, who had not seen any movement at the dock for a long time, was wondering,
When I heard reports from my confidants, everyone at the dock had evacuated without even getting on the cargo ship.
King Cheng walked out quickly, wanting to see what was going on in person.
A plain-looking follower in gray clothes walked up to him,
"Your Highness Prince Cheng, my master sent me to say that there are some things that it is best not to investigate."
He stared at the gorgeous carriage in front of him, and when he bent down with his hands in hand, his face darkened a little, "What does the Imperial Master mean by this?"
What kind of benefits did the prince give him? He actually asked someone who even his father would give in to help.
A slender yet powerful hand casually opened the curtain,
"You found out about me and asked me what I meant?"
With a smiling tone, but cold eyes,
"No matter what you do, don't affect my business with the merchants from the Western Regions." Wen Zhi said quietly.
When King Cheng heard this, everyone was dumbfounded. After a while, he said, "I was the one who offended before, and I hope the Imperial Master will forgive me."
I've seen a ghost, I didn't expect these businesses to be related to him.
And when he talked about merchants from the Western Regions, his tone always changed.
Just talk about how the Liu family can get so many things that are in short supply in Daqi.
Liu Zheng had imagined countless bad situations, but he never expected that nothing would happen when he arrived at the dock. He even thought he had received a scam message.
I asked people in the caravan around, but no one knew what was going on.
It was only said that they were sent by the imperial master. The people who were preparing to search the ship ran away as soon as they saw the token.
Liu Zheng scratched his head in confusion. What do you mean? How can someone take the initiative to help someone who previously ignored them when they wanted to build a relationship?
Liu Zheng asked someone to send the news to the prince's residence and went to the shop himself.
"The clothes are selling so well, they may be out of stock before noon tomorrow," the shopkeeper said in a low voice.
"I'm going to ask when the next batch of goods will arrive. You should let the news out first, saying that there are a lot of this kind of clothes in the Western Region and there is enough supply, so that the people can rest assured. If the next goods arrive later, the price will definitely not increase."
"Yes."
Liu Zheng left the shop and immediately went to Qingshi Alley and came to Shen You's antique shop.
Shen You is melting gold bars with a gun.
Liu Zheng was really stunned when he saw this scene. What kind of magic weapon was that? How could it spit fire when pressed? It was so powerful.
He was afraid of being accidentally injured, so he quietly moved a step to the side.
"Manager Shen, the previous clothes have almost been sold out. When will the next batch of goods be available?"
"It will arrive tomorrow. There are 8,000 pieces in this batch. You can sell them outside the capital."
Shen You put down the musket, "I have something to do the day after tomorrow and can't open the store, so you have to arrange for the goods to be moved tomorrow night."
"No problem."
Liu Zheng thought of what happened on the dock and hesitated to speak out. It was obvious that Shen You didn't say anything and was not sure for a moment whether the people from the National Preceptor were the ones she invited.
After agreeing on a time to hand over the goods, Liu Zheng left. There were still things waiting for him to deal with in the shop.
Shopkeepers from several fabric and ready-made clothing shops in the capital came to visit, as well as people from trading houses.
They all hope to distribute some goods from Liu's shop and make money together.
"We have shops everywhere and the fastest caravans. We also want to enable more people to wear good clothes."
"It's just that the cost of transporting clothes from the Western Regions to various places is too high. If you sell them for five taels, you will lose money. Why not mention 20 taels?"
Several wealthy businessmen representing the trading houses showed respect on the surface but scolded Liu Zheng in their hearts.
If you have such a good way and goods, you can set such a low price, even if you have money, you won't make money!
"I can supply you with goods, but the pricing cannot be changed." Liu Zheng sighed deliberately,
"Do you think I don't want to make money? Contact the merchants from the Western Regions and send them to the capital smoothly. Do you think Liu Mansion can do it?
If you are caught raising prices on the ground, your home will be confiscated and you will be exiled. Don't say I didn't warn you. ”
At this point, the faces of the wealthy businessmen changed, and they all asked who was the person behind Liu Zheng.
Liu Zheng only said some specious words and let them guess for themselves. After contacting the palace, no one dared to talk about raising the price.
"But we can't lose money when we transport things out. The selling price you gave us is only five taels."
"It can't be transported by water, no more than 7 taels at most." Liu Zheng brought an abacus over,
"I have calculated that the price is not a loss. I can give it to you cheaper for 20 taels per set."
Several other people almost couldn't help but say: You are really good at abacus.
"This is also what I mean above. If you do this well, you deserve a lot of credit." Liu Zheng added.
The head of the trading firm who was backed by the Zhaohou Mansion was the first to agree, and the rest did not dare not agree.
It's just that when I go out, I somewhat force myself to smile.
Liu Zheng was the only one who nodded while thinking.
The next chapter will be late. It’s stuck today and is still being revised
