Ya Chang smiled at Ouyang Lun: "You don't know something. As long as the transaction has not been completed, the buyer and the seller can regret it."
Ouyang Lun didn't expect that Ya Chang wouldn't give him any face. He gritted his teeth secretly and asked, "Then how can we prove that we have made a deal?"
Ya Chang replied: "You and he exchange the banknote and bill of goods under the witness of the broker, and the transaction is considered completed."
Ouyang Lun: "What kind of manifest?"
The businessman took out the bill of goods and said, "That's it."
Ouyang Lun reached out and grabbed it, then handed his banknote to the businessman: "Okay. Now the transaction is completed."
Ya Chang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and sighed: "Sir, why do you bother this villain? You buy and sell by force. If I don't sign, you won't be able to get the key to the warehouse and you won't be able to get the goods."
Ouyang Lun didn't expect this level at all, so he pursed his lips and turned red.
Ya Chang asked the businessman: "How did you negotiate the price?"
The businessman said: "Five hundred and twenty-five horses."
Chief Ya turned to Ouyang Lun and asked: "This price is consistent with the Guan Ya Bureau's guide price. The five hundred and twenty fifty horses that your Excellency just mentioned is too far off. Is it wrong?"
Now that the words have come to this point, Ouyang Lun can only follow the trend: "Oh, it turns out to be twenty-five horses. I probably heard it wrong."
The businessman didn't bother to expose it and secretly rolled his eyes.
Ya Chang asked the merchant again: "Then are you still willing to trade with him?"
The merchant didn't want to do this business at first, but Ya Chang arranged the deal and had to give him face, so he could only reply: "Of course it's OK according to Guan Ya Bureau's price."
Then the three people went to the counter and opened a bill of fifty horses of satin into two pieces of twenty-five horses. Chief Ya personally acted as the middleman and completed the transaction.
Ouyang Lun got the manifest and left without picking up the goods.
After a few days, he estimated that the merchant had sold the remaining twenty-five horses, and then he came to the Guanya Bureau with the bill of goods.
Then he discovered a problem.
When buying goods, he is the uncle.
When it comes to selling goods, he becomes an anomaly.
Lao Zhu classified the social classes very strictly: scholars, farmers, industry and merchants.
All classes must dress according to regulations, neither high nor low.
There are also officials in the DPRK doing business, but they always involve relatives.
It was the first time for someone like Ouyang Lun to come to the Guanya Bureau to sell goods wearing the uniform of a second-grade official.
As soon as he entered, the merchants in the hall looked at him with either curiosity or surprise.
Ouyang Lun used to regard himself as a "scholar", not willing to give up for five buckets of rice, and would rather suffer the cold than do day labor.
Later, he tasted the benefits of being rich and put all his reserved status behind.
As long as he has money, he can even make a living, let alone doing business.
He stood less than a stick of incense before someone took a fancy to his satin.
He offered five hundred and fifty taels.
If you buy it for 500 taels, you can earn 50 taels in a few days, and the profit is 10%, which is not bad.
That's what he thought.
But the buyer originally thought that the price was okay, but when he saw that the recommended price written on the bill of goods in his hand was twenty-five taels per horse, he immediately regretted it: "Eh?! Your price is five hundred taels." , then I can only give you four hundred and ninety taels at most."
Only then did Ouyang Lun realize that it was possible to negotiate the price.
But now that he knew it was useless, he gritted his teeth and said, "At least five hundred and twenty taels. After all, I bought it for five hundred taels."
The man shook his head and walked away: "I haven't lowered the price with you yet, but you have raised the price, and you have raised it so high. I don't want it anymore. I don't want it. You are not selling cloth alone."
Ouyang Lun was so angry that he went to ask Chief Ya: "Why did someone tell me that five hundred taels is the upper limit?"
Chief Ya saluted and said: "The Guan Ya Bureau is afraid that someone will drive up prices or force purchases and sales, so it has set a reference price for everyone's goods based on similar goods across the country. Buyers and sellers can increase or decrease the reference price by hundreds." Negotiate the price in half.”
Ouyang Lun was like snow water pouring over his head. He was stunned for a long time before he recovered: "You are obviously deliberately trying to trick me."
Ya Chang smiled: "You are wrong to say that. I asked your Excellency at that time, the price you negotiated with the seller. You personally admitted that it was five hundred and twenty-five horses. The sale was voluntary, how can you tell me to cheat you?"
Ouyang Lun grabbed Ya Chang's collar and said, "I'm too lazy to tell you that much. I'll go to King Xiang for comment."
He didn't believe that Zhu Bai could still turn his elbows outward and help outsiders instead of helping his brother-in-law.
When Zhu Bai saw Ouyang Lun coming in with his teeth pulled, he frowned and said, "Master Ouyang, please let go first. If you have anything to say, please tell me. Don't be rude to my king's teeth."
joke. The Chief Tooth of this bureau was selected by me from thousands of people. He helped me earn a lot of money and did a lot of work. How can someone like you, Ouyang Lun, be bullied? !
To put it bluntly, I only call you Ouyang Lun "Sir" because of my fourth sister's sake.
Ouyang Lun knew that he was not yet a prince-in-law, so he did not dare to be too presumptuous, so he relaxed his teeth and said before him: "Your Highness, please help me to uphold justice. This fabric can be bought for four hundred and ninety taels. But he asked me to settle the deal with the other party at a price of five hundred taels. He clearly colluded with the seller to deceive me."
Zhu Bai frowned: "Sir, if you don't have evidence, it's better not to accuse people casually."
Ouyang Lun choked and was speechless.
Zhu Bai asked Ya Chang: "When Mr. Ouyang was discussing the price with the seller, were you there?"
Chief Ya said: "No. After they discussed it, they asked their subordinates to help with the eyes."
Zhu Bai asked Ouyang Lun again: "Since the Chief Ya was not here when you were discussing, how could it be the Chief Ya who tricked you?"
Ouyang Lun said: "He should remind me that I can bargain."
Zhu Bai smiled: "Master Ouyang, you are already an adult. Do you need someone to remind you that you need to negotiate the price when buying and selling with others? The Guanya Bureau has no such obligation. And the price of five hundred taels of silver is also very high. It's reasonable. There is no such thing as cheating you. Sir, please don't be angry about ten taels of silver."
He was insinuating that Ouyang Lun was making trouble for ten taels of silver, and he didn't feel ashamed.
Ouyang Lun heard it, but pretended not to, and said shamelessly: "Now it is obvious that I will lose money if I sell it. Please help Guanya Bureau write the order for me again, and write the price a little higher."
Zhu Bai asked Ya Chang: "Has the price of brocade satin changed today?"
Ya Chang said: "Yes, it has dropped. Because the weather has gradually warmed up, the silk and satin shops in Yingtian City have begun to sell light fabrics. The demand for thick fabrics like Jing Satin has decreased, so the quotations across the country have dropped. .”
Zhu Bai looked at Ouyang Lun and said, "Do you understand, adults? The Guanya Bureau can help you rewrite the bill of goods, but the price will be less than five hundred taels. Are you sure you want to rewrite it?"
I asked you to write "high" and you pretended to be stupid.
Am I sick, so I still spend money to write down the price, making myself lose more?
