Chapter 99
Jiang Shu and others entered the inner room and were shocked when they saw the displays in the room.
Rows and rows, everything you see is silk, and even the walls are hung with silk.
Jiang Shu's eyes lit up when he saw them, and he raised his hand to caress them one by one.
This silky and cool touch, and the dazzling array of colors and styles, even though Jiang Shu was used to silk, he was still shocked by it.
Shopkeeper Liu has been running a silk shop in Jiangji for half his life, and he has never seen so many styles and colors.
Lin'an's three major silk merchants are not just famous.
"On display here are all the silks of the Wang family, and three of them are unique to the Wang family." The shopkeeper explained at the side.
"Oh? Those three types?" Jiang Shu became interested as soon as he heard it.
In order to show their identity and uniqueness, high-ranking dignitaries like rare or unique things.
If we can find rare silk and attract the favor of high-ranking nobles, then Jiangji Silk House will surely have a great turnaround.
"Sir, please follow me." The shopkeeper took them inside.
"This is silk woven and dyed using the Wang family's unique secret technique, the only one in the entire Lin'an Prefecture."
Lin'an Prefecture is the only one, then the world is also the only one.
Jiang Shu was afraid that he didn't know the goods, so he asked shopkeeper Liu to come forward and take a look.
Take a closer look at the luster, gently rub and listen to the sound, touch the skin, and feel the warmth when rubbed...
The shopkeeper looked on with admiration: "You guys are experts at first sight."
Jiang Shu smiled and said: "Don't dare, don't dare, we are Cheng Shang, you are Yuan Shang, these skills are just the same in front of you."
"Young Master is humble." The shopkeeper was polite in his advances and retreats.
After shopkeeper Liu inspected them carefully, he nodded to Jiang Shu: "My boss, these are top quality goods."
The shopkeeper smiled and was surprised when he heard shopkeeper Liu address Jiang Shu.
Such a young and handsome boss is really rare, I wonder who he is? I hope it is a big merchant and can buy more silk goods.
"Okay, let's go outside and talk." Jiang Shu walked out.
Several people came to the guest seat and sat down. The shopkeeper asked a little anxiously: "I wonder how much silk goods you want to buy?"
"It depends on your shipping price. If it's expensive, buy less and go back to try it. If it's cheap, buy more."
Jiang Shu sipped the West Lake Longjing tea carefully, looking calm and unhurried.
The shopkeeper is also a man of talent, and made it clear: "Shangjing is two thousand miles away from Lin'an. The young master is so tired that there must be a great or urgent need. The Wang family's silk products are the most reasonable in Lin'an Prefecture, both in terms of quality and price. Young Master can Go and ask around.”
Jiang Shudan smiled and said nothing.
Shopkeeper Liu took over the conversation at the right time and said: "Going to the capital is at the feet of the emperor. The place is full of nobles, and the food and clothing are all of the finest quality. If it is not of the highest quality, it will not be able to attract their attention."
Shopkeeper Liu's words were telling the shopkeeper that the quality of the silk products they sold before was not bad. At the same time, it is also an insinuation that the Wang family's silk products have never been brought to Beijing, and they are not necessarily very good.
The two of them competed secretly, testing each other's bottom line.
Jiang Shu and Tan Yu drank tea and listened and studied silently.
Seeing that the two of them were almost finished competing, Jiang Shu put down the tea cup and said, "I heard a gossip from the Wang family on the way here. It was said that Boss Wang is seriously ill and the Young Master's family is not good at running the business. I wonder if this is the case?"
Jiang Shu said it very implicitly, but the shopkeeper knew that since he could say this, he knew the truth.
After taking a deep look at them, the shopkeeper nodded sadly: "It's pity that my old boss has worked so hard, alas!"
Jiang Shu hurriedly said: "I don't have any other intention in asking this. I just want to know how long the Wang family's silk goods can be supplied."
To be honest, the quality of Wang's silk products was very good, and she wanted to have a long-term cooperation with them. But according to the way the prince behaves, he may not be able to do so.
"Since you have heard about the Wang family, I have nothing to hide. To be honest, I don't know what will happen in the future." The shopkeeper shook his head and sighed heavily.
Jiang Shu didn't force anything, and just talked about the present: "If we want more, the price manager may decide?"
"This..." The shopkeeper hesitated for a moment and said cautiously: "Young master, first draw up the quantity of the required categories, and then inform me of the lowest price. I will ask my old boss."
Boss Wang is seriously ill and bedridden, and all minor matters are decided by the shopkeeper and Prince Wang. Only big business will require Boss Wang to worry about making decisions.
"Okay, bring a pen and paper." Jiang Shu was decisive and did not take Qiao.
The Wang family can't afford to wait, and Jiang Ji can't afford to wait. There is no need to delay and embarrass each other.
After getting the pen and paper, Jiang Shu directly asked shopkeeper Liu to write.
Shopkeeper Liu has always been in charge of Jiangji Silk Shop. Shopkeeper Liu knows the required quantity and price better than she does.
After handing the written paper to the shopkeeper, Jiang Shu stood up and said, "The shopkeeper is busy, so we won't disturb him."
"Sir, go slowly." The shopkeeper sent them downstairs and asked them about the inn where they were staying.
After coming out of Wangjia Silk Shop, it was still early, so Jiang Shu decided to visit other silk shops.
After walking not far, I saw an elegant silk shop in a busy street, with a constant stream of people coming and going in front of the shop.
Jiang Shu and Shopkeeper Liu looked at each other and walked in.
Although they wanted to buy the Wang family's goods, they were not sure that they would be able to do so. Furthermore, the Wang family cannot cooperate for a long time and can only supply goods temporarily, and they need to find another source.
Several people went into the shop to look around, asked about the prices, and also asked the shopkeeper about cooperative pricing.
The shopkeeper's attitude was casual and he just thought they were asking for fun and said a few casual words.
Jiang Shu didn't care and walked forward casually after coming out.
"The business of that silk shop just now was very good, but I am afraid that the price is too high and it will be difficult to lower the price." Shopkeeper Liu analyzed it carefully.
Jiang Shu nodded: "When we look at other companies, we don't necessarily focus on the top three."
The top three silk shops in Lin'an Prefecture are naturally of good quality. But those who are ranked at the bottom are not necessarily bad.
The source merchant who cooperated with Jiang Ji before was not well-known, but the quality of the goods was excellent and there had never been any mistakes.
If it weren't for the Fang family poaching, Jiang Ji would definitely cooperate with them for a long time.
"The water town in the south of the Yangtze River looks like it is reflected in a painting. It's so beautiful." Tanyu doesn't understand business and just enjoys the beautiful scenery.
Jiang Shu also took a closer look when he heard the words.
Different from the lively and prosperous Shangjing, Lin'an is beautiful and picturesque, full of poetry and painting, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.
The three of them continued walking forward, and the sky gradually darkened.
The sunset and sunset complement each other, reminding travelers that night is approaching.
"Master, there is the inn ahead. It will get dark soon, so we can only stay here to rest." Zhuiyun opened the car door and reported to Yu Zheng.
Hearing this, Yu Zheng looked forward, frowning slightly and nodded.
Calculating the time, she should have arrived in Lin'an.
They still needed two days, and after arriving in Lin'an, they had to inspect the river embankment and decide on construction matters. They didn't know when they would be free to look for her.
He looked at the setting sun in the sky with dark eyes, and clenched his hands into fists on his knees.
Although Yu Zheng is anxious, he also knows which is less important and which is more serious.
Although this trip was suspected of being selfish, he sincerely wanted to prevent and control floods in the south of the Yangtze River and bring happiness to the people.
Therefore, Yu Zheng suppressed his emotions and put government affairs first.
