After a night of consideration, Yang Zhen revised her original plan. He didn't go out the next morning, but stayed at Wang's house.
He is like Grandma Liu who broke into the Grand View Garden, curious about everything. One moment I went to see what classes the child was in, and the next moment I asked two maids to take him to the garden. When he met those aunts yesterday and was asked to ask questions, he also took the opportunity to ask them about many things.
He is a child and a guest, and the Wang family doesn't care what he does.
It was almost noon when he found Wang Shaohe and asked him to take him to Chen Fuzhen's residence to have lunch with Chen Fuzhen, who was at home with Xiu Mu, and his family.
Later, Chen Fuzhen took him and several other people along to find a dental shop. After some on-site inspection and selection, he chose a courtyard with two entrances in a relatively remote and quiet place in the city. He asked Aunt Fu to rent it in the name of Dexingtang Trading Co., Ltd. and pay one year's rent in advance, totaling fifty gold coins.
In the evening, Chen Fuzhen invited his steward who was working in Prince Ju's Mansion to come out. Together with the Chen family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, the five of them had a dinner at a fairly luxurious restaurant in Zhoucheng.
This man's surname is Gong. He is in his forties. He is an old man in Prince Ju's palace. He is very aware of many things going on in the palace. He was fooled by the name of the shopkeeper of Dexingtang and thought that the Chen family was doing a big deal. When I saw Yang Zhen, a child like this, I didn't even bother to talk to him. However, Yang Zhen had experienced several years in her previous life and had some ability to talk to people and ghosts. She flattered him very comfortably and made him talk happily, revealing a lot of inside stories about the palace.
This man is an old man who likes to brag, but when it comes to specific matters, he is shrouded in mist. Yang Zhen also spent a lot of effort to get the information she needed.
Wang Shaohe was not interested in participating in the lunch and dinner meals. He found a place to rest nearby. The rest of the time, he stayed with Yang Zhen. This man doesn't talk much, knows everything he asks, and is a very good company.
After returning to Wang's house in the evening, she told her aunts, young ladies and gentlemen some stories as usual, and then Yang Zhen went back to her room to rest.
…
That night, in the stone space, Yang Zhen took out a pen and paper and began to record and analyze the information obtained that day.
Space is the safest place. You don’t have to worry about being seen when you write anything.
As if returning to the days when he was running projects in his previous life, he wrote:
"Project Evaluation"
The task is to sell 10,000 xuanyang wood. If possible, establish long-term cooperation with the other party.
Target customer Ju Wangfu
reason
One, safety. Due to the reason of avoiding suspicion, the Zi Mansion and above, and even most of the long-established foundation-building families, avoid direct contact with the royal family. The wood was sold to the Wang Mansion, but was discovered by the Zhao family and the Wang family.
Two, strength. Prince Ju's Mansion has an army, various industries, shops, and some small cultivating families under its influence and control. All these things combined, there is enough ability and demand to eat this batch of goods.
Therefore, selling to Prince Ju's Mansion is the best choice, and there is the possibility of long-term cooperation.
Key Person Manager Cui
This person is the general manager in charge of purchasing in the palace, and purchasing Xuanyang wood in large quantities requires this person's approval.
own advantage
One, price. The cost price of Xuanyang wood is 45 copper coins, and the purchase price in Zhoucheng is around 330 copper coins. Because the most critical shipping cost is saved, I can afford a lower purchase price.
Two, stability. It comes from the origin of Xuanyang wood and can be supplied for a long time at preferential prices.
Disadvantages
One, age. Too young to be trusted.
Two, qualifications. Xingdetang was recently established. Although it has the endorsement of the Zhao family of Zifu, it has no achievements in the city.
Three, safety. As a mortal child, you must guard against the other party coveting you, even endangering your life.
Other resources available
One, the Wang family. As a large family in Qing'an County, Yunzhou, the Wang family has four Nascent Souls, three of whom are in the sect. It is the top three families in Yunzhou (the Zhao family can be ranked in the top ten) and is huge.
Wang Rui, the head of the Wang family in Zhoucheng. He has been in the sect for many years and has made many friends. He is a well-known figure in the immortal cultivation world in the city.
Second, Wang Shaohe. A direct descendant of the Wang family, he is in his forties, has four spiritual roots, is in the late stage of Qi training, and ranks sixteenth among his peers. He is calm and not talkative.
Three, Chen Fuzhen. He was recruited from Shuyang County to work in Prince Ju's Mansion, and through him he got acquainted with Chief Gong of the Prince's Mansion.
As she analyzed these situations one by one, Yang Zhen gradually formed a plan in her mind...
…
The next morning, he found Wang Shaohe.
"Uncle Sixteen," Yang Zhen greeted with a smile. After a day of hard work yesterday, Wang Shaohe reluctantly accepted the title of Uncle Sixteen.
"I heard that there are many earthly treasures in the mansion. Can you show my nephew some of them?"
"What's so nice about some mortal things? Are you planning to trade in mortal things?"
Although Wang Shaohe answered like this, he still took him to a courtyard. Various calligraphy and paintings, porcelain, mortal crafts, etc. are displayed here.
"These are gifts from various families in the state to the fifth elder (Wang Rui). The fifth elder does not like these vulgar things. However, they are all gifts from dignitaries in the state. They cannot be discarded or sold, so they are placed here. . If you like it, you might as well pick two. With the friendship between the Fifth Elder and Taoist He Jing, these common things are nothing."
"Then I'll be disrespectful." Yang Zhen was overjoyed. This was exactly his purpose.
Wang Shaohe then called a maid in and asked her to introduce the origins and characteristics of these things to Yang Zhen, who gave them to her, etc. He himself found a place in the yard, closed his eyes and meditated.
Yang Zhen quickly selected a landscape painting and a set of teapots.
"Young Master has really good taste," the maid said flatteringly, "These two things were given to the Fourth Elder by Prince Ju's Mansion. Especially this calligraphy and painting was done by Master Dong Chang. Master Dong is good at landscape painting. Look at this The painting is delicate and neutral, and the ink is clear and meaningful. The whole painting has the potential to be as close as a thousand miles away. It can be regarded as a masterpiece of Master Huang's paintings..."
The maid introduced her endlessly, and it was obvious that she was a literary young woman obsessed with art.
Yang Zhen listened with a smile and silently remembered it in her heart. At the end, I couldn’t help but ask:
"How much is this painting worth?"
The maid suddenly showed a look of disgust, presumably thinking that he was an ignorant young master, but she still answered honestly: "This painting is Master Huang's work in recent years. It is probably worth a hundred gold."
Yang Zhen smiled brightly and pointed to the teapot again: "Where is this one?"
The maid had completely lost interest in explaining, and replied casually: "This should be several dozen gold coins."
Yang Zhen was very satisfied. The two works of art were chosen very appropriately.
After walking out of the yard with Wang Shaohe, he made his request:
"Can I borrow these two things as flowers to give to others?"
"This," Wang Shaohe hesitated for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "They are just some mortal objects. Since they are yours, you can do with them as you wish!"
