After listening quietly to Deng Jinbiao's report, Manager Wu showed no sign of excitement on his face.
He calmly looked at this subordinate who usually performed well, "All the way from Beiliang to Zhongjing to buy ducks? Do you think it is possible? Are all the ducks in my other places in Daxia extinct, or are the ducks in Zhongjing dying? More flavor?”
But on the way here, Deng Jinbiao thought about these issues and was well prepared: "Manager Wu, first of all, I have also been to Beiliang, and their service and clothing are fine; secondly, if this matter is true, we can get a lot from it. With a small profit, thousands or even tens of thousands of ducks are sold in Zhongjing City every day. Regardless of whether they are mature or not, the number of ducks in the farmers should be no less than 200,000 to 300,000, and each one can earn 20 cash, which is The net profit of about five thousand taels in just a few days is not a small amount."
He paused and then said, "As for the truth or falsehood, if it is true as these people said, there should be teams doing this in the prefectures and counties along the way from Beiliang. We can find out by checking the route at home. And after they arrive in Zhongjing, they will definitely buy it themselves, and we can easily verify it."
After listening to his words, Manager Wu was a little tempted. After all, he was a businessman and he was a bastard who didn't want to make money.
He stood up and paced with his hands behind his back, and mused: "If it is true as they said, the one who can go to such great lengths is probably not an ordinary family in Beiliang, but most likely one of the Eight Pillar Kingdoms in Beiliang. If we can get on the line, , not only can we earn money, but it will also help us develop business routes in Beiliang in the future."
Thinking of this, he made up his mind, "You go and have a rest. I will send someone to Huilong Town to keep an eye on them later. If they are indeed making a big purchase, I will immediately go to the city to find Manager Xiao and ask him to make a decision."
Deng Jinbiao nodded repeatedly, but he hesitated to move.
Manager Wu was stunned for a moment before he reacted, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, this is the news you brought back, and I will try my best to let you do it when the time comes!"
Deng Jinbiao was overjoyed and said, "Thank you so much, Manager Wu!"
Two hours later, the man who quickly went to Huilong Town to investigate the news returned.
"Manager Wu, there is indeed a Beiliang caravan there. After they arrived at Huilong Town and found a place to stay, they immediately went out to buy ducks. As long as they were alive and not sick, we would pay them directly. We went there By that time, they had bought thousands of ducks."
Manager Wu raised his eyebrows, "How much did they pay for one?"
"Sixty Wen. No matter how big or small, it's a fixed price, and it's very easy to pay. Many people in Huilong Town know about it and are rushing over there!"
Manager Wu immediately knew that it was too late and quickly ordered: "Go and find Deng Jinbiao."
Soon, Deng Jinbiao came in a hurry, and Manager Wu said directly: "You go to Huilong Town now, invite that group of people to Zhuangzi, and say that the Qin family can help them contact them. After arriving, you pick a few to go to Daliang The people from the capital took them to drink and inquired about the details. Then they called a few people to contact other places in Gyeonggi except Huilong Town. They must control the ducks in their hands before the news spreads. I will do it now. Go to the city to report to Manager Xiao."
Deng Jinbiao was overjoyed and agreed repeatedly.
In Zhongjing City, Qin Yuwen was frowning.
For two days, the Marquis of Jiang'an Mansion refused to accept anyone who came, and swallowed all the Qin family's "feedings" without any intention of admitting defeat.
Qin Yuwen asked in confusion: "Tell me, where did Jiang'anhou Mansion come from so much cash?"
The steward on the side thought for a while and said, "The Marquis of Jiang'an must have thirty or forty thousand cash in hand. He spent a lot of money before, but he has recovered a bit these days, and the auction has brought in a lot of money." 170,000 taels of cash. Even if Mr. Xia only shared 70,000 taels, the total would be 100,000 taels. We tried our best these two days, but we only spent 60,000 to 70,000 taels of cash. The other party should pay them back. It can last for two or three days. But."
The steward hesitated for a moment and reminded: "Sir, these days we have contacted all parties to suppress the business of the Marquis of Jiang'an. We have spent a lot of money. We have already spent more than half of the cash we can use on our own. If we use it all, we will have to ask the owner of the family for further use." I applied with the clan elders.”
As the eldest son of the Qin family and the confirmed heir, he has a hundred thousand taels of silver that he can use as he pleases without asking anyone for instructions. This little "pocket money" alone already exceeds the total net worth of many so-called wealthy families in the world.
But these days, when they contacted all parties again to encircle and suppress Jiang'anhou Mansion, these businessmen all wanted money. Although he had a lot of money, he spent it like running water.
It's not that he won't be able to get the money, but this trip will inevitably make his father and clan elders think that he, the heir, is too incompetent. He can defeat everything in the blink of an eye, which will change the overall situation in the future.
Qin Yuwen's face became increasingly unhappy, "This Xia Jingyun is really the evil star in my life! Why did I meet such a thing!"
He looked at Manager Xiao, "Why don't we divert some profits from somewhere first?"
Manager Xiao smiled bitterly and said, "My eldest son, the profits of all the Qin family's properties are unified and distributed by the master's family. Ding is Ding and Mao is Mao. This rule cannot be messed up! Unless there are some extra If there is an opportunity, let’s do it in our own way.”
“It’s so easy to find such an opportunity!”
Qin Yuwen was worried when a subordinate came and announced, "Sir, Manager Xiao, Manager Wu from Bafangzhuang outside the city wants to see you."
"No!" Qin Yuwen waved his hand impatiently, "All cats and dogs are here to join in the fun."
Manager Xiao smiled and said, "Young master, you should be looking for me. I'll go check it out. Don't worry about anything serious."
Qin Yuwen was somewhat considerate of his right-hand man, and waved his hand, "Don't bother yourself, just call him over!"
Soon, Manager Wu walked in. When he saw Qin Yuwen, his expression immediately changed and he bowed to see her.
Qin Yuwen was too lazy to speak and waved his hand to indicate that they could talk among themselves.
Manager Wu quickly told the situation reported by Deng Jinbiao today.
Qin Yuwen, who was not planning to speak at first, reacted the same way as Manager Wu did before, and sneered, "Come from Liangdu just to buy ducks? People like you are doing things for the Qin family, and the Qin family will be stupidly killed by you sooner or later!"
Manager Xiao can climb to this position, but his level is higher. He pondered for a while and said, "Have you found anyone to inquire and verify their situation?"
Manager Wu quickly said: "The younger one has sent people to check. They have bought thousands of live ducks in Huilong Town. Now the younger brother has sent people to invite them to the village, and plans to find a few to go there. The people from Liangdu will try again."
"Well done. I also immediately sent a message to the north to ask about the situation along the way."
Manager Xiao nodded approvingly, "You can stabilize them first, entertain them with good food and drink, and proceed in your own way, and wait for our next news."
Manager Wu was overjoyed and said goodbye.
After the outsiders left, Qin Yuwen looked at Manager Xiao in confusion, "This sounds fake at first glance. It's obvious that someone deliberately set a trap for us. Why should we pay attention to it?"
Manager Xiao secretly sighed and said: "Sir, the thing about doing business is to seize the opportunity. No matter how bizarre or weird things sound, as long as we have a way to verify whether they are true or false, and as long as there is sufficient profit, we will You have to try to do it, otherwise it would be so easy to make money!"
Qin Yuwen was a little disdainful, "How much money can a few ducks make?"
Manager Xiao analyzed it for him: "If these people are real, our Qin family can mobilize hundreds of thousands of ducks near Gyeonggi Province. Even if each one only earns 20 cents, it is still worth thousands of taels." The profit. The key is that this money does not need to be classified as profit."
Qin Yuwen was slightly interested, but then he frowned, "Thousands of taels are of no use!"
Manager Xiao was a little helpless when he looked at the young master who was used to fine clothes and food. He didn't know how to gather armpits to make fur and sand to form a tower. "Young Master, think about it, if our Qin family can control the ducks around the capital, this Isn’t it up to us to decide the price of a duck?”
Only then did Qin Yuwen's eyes suddenly light up, "That's right! If one sells for one tael, wouldn't it cost hundreds of thousands of taels?"
After saying that, he smiled sheepishly and said, "I know you can't sell it for this price, but if you double or triple it and sell it for one hundred or two hundred cents, it shouldn't be a problem, right?"
Manager Xiao nodded, "However, we must be cautious, because this looks too much like a trap, as if it is coming for our Qin family. Therefore, we have to find out clearly first, please use the flying pigeon to send the order, sir, first Check with neighboring states and counties to see if this has happened. If not, then this must be a problem. In addition, the most important thing is to send a letter to Liangdu to ask if any top nobles are sick. This kind of skill is definitely the talent of a big shot. some."
Qin Yuwen nodded, "Yes, since he has talked about looking for famous doctors, and even quacks have come to visit, everyone must know it. If this hadn't happened, it would have been a plot against us."
Manager Xiao smiled and nodded, "Before that, we can control all the ducks around us first, and then we will be able to move forward and retreat freely. If this matter is true, while we make a lot of money, maybe we can also fight with this The important person's connection will be helpful to us in developing the Beiliang trade route in the future."
Qin Yuwen laughed, "Okay! I'll go to the pigeon house and let them deliver the message."
——
In the Marquis of Jiang'an Mansion, Gongsun Jing went to the study and did not find Xia Jingyun. He turned to look at the boy waiting outside the door, "Where is the young master? He hasn't come back yet?"
The boy said: "I came back before, but after I came back, I left again."
"Where have you gone?"
"It seems to be the kitchen. Mr. Su is here too."
Gongsun Jing held his forehead speechlessly. It's almost spring. First he went to serve as a prisoner, and now he goes to the kitchen. "You really don't want to read a book carefully, do you?"
I didn’t even go to the Tushan Disciple Recruitment Ceremony today. I really don’t know what I’m busy with!
You are a scholar!
This old Su is the same. If you don't persuade me, why are you just joining in the fun!
What would this family do without me?
Don’t panic, before the storm, brew a little, or2
