The next morning, the drizzle gradually stopped.
The washed sky is cloudless, the sunlight illuminates Suzhou City like golden strands of jade, and the air is filled with the fragrance after rain.
Song Che moved a rocking chair and sat under the eaves of the workshop, holding a cup of steaming fragrant tea and guarding the three carriages loaded with brocade cloth in front of him. As soon as the payment for the goods arrived, he would personally drive to Chen's Trading Company .
"Your posture is similar to that of the 60-year-old old man in the alley." Shen Wenjun stood next to Song Che, stretching her jade neck and looking at the market. After all, it was a big business of more than 10,000 taels, and she looked forward to it more than anyone else.
Song Che said leisurely: "What do you know? This is life."
Shen Wenjun said: "I advise you not to be too happy, lest you become extremely happy and become sad."
"The tea is cold, add some hot water." Song Che handed the teacup to his side.
Shen Wenjun snorted, "It's incredible, it's incredible..." He also took the tea cup, and when he was about to turn around, "Click, click, click..." A sound of horse hooves sounded from outside the street.
Shen Wenjun stretched his neck to look, and couldn't help but excitedly exclaimed: "It's a carriage from Dongshi!"
"Da da da..." Another carriage appeared.
"It's a carriage from the West Market!"
"Da da da……"
"There are also people from Bei City!"
"Brush, ink, paper, inkstone, business seal and ink pad. Get them quickly."
"Come here! Come here!" Shen Wenjun quickly returned to the shop.
Song Che stood up, straightened his clothes and lowered his eaves to greet him.
The carriage stopped at the door of the workshop at the same time, and three accountants in Confucian robes each got out of the carriage holding a brocade box.
"Uncle Song, you are so good at predicting things! As soon as you left yesterday, people from Chen's Trading Company came. Without wasting a single drop of saliva, they bought all the brocade cloth at a price of 7,000 yuan per piece. After landing, we signed the deed and contract on the spot and paid for the goods.”
"Seven taels of silver per piece of cloth. If you sell 2,000 pieces of cloth here, it will be 14,000 taels of silver, which can be exchanged for one thousand, four hundred taels of gold. Here are the numbers, can you count them?"
The three accountants opened the brocade box at the same time. Huo... my dear, there were ingots of gold ingots, which were so dazzling that people couldn't even open their eyes.
"There's no need to count. I believe in your integrity," Song Che said, pointing to the three carts of brocade cloth at the door: "There are six thousand pieces of brocade cloth here. How many gentlemen are inspecting the goods?"
"Uncle Song has made a huge promise, so we should be more relaxed. We don't need to inspect the goods, and we can just write a contract!"
Pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other hand.
Shen Wenjun held a box full of gold ingots, his face as red as flowers with joy.
"It's really troublesome to unload the brocade cloth. I, Yunshuifang, will help you transport it to Chen's Trading Company for free."
Song Che stepped onto the carriage, took a dozen of his clerks, and together with the accountants from three cloth shops, escorted three large carriages of brocade cloth, and drove staggeringly towards the south of the city.
…
South of the city.
Chen's Trading Company.
Chen Rencai was sitting at the gate, humming a little tune, holding a birdcage and feeding the birds with great interest.
Two waiters were waiting beside him, bringing tea and water from time to time.
"Do you know? Song Che is like this little bug in my hand." Chen Rencai picked up a green bug with tweezers and brought it to the bird's mouth. The bird swallowed the green bug into its mouth with one peck. "And I am this A thrush, he is destined to be my meal."
"As expected of our young master, you can make the Shen family have no cloth to buy with just a few tricks. You are truly a business genius unparalleled in the world!"
"I guess Song Che is lying in his wife's arms crying right now!"
"Hahaha--"
"Hahaha... I'm really sorry to disappoint Mr. Chen!"
Song Che took the lead, standing on the shaft of the car with his hands behind his back, majestic and unparalleled in arrogance.
"Song...Song Che!" Chen Rencai was so shocked that he almost fell off his chair. He jumped up and pointed and cursed: "How dare you come to the south of the city!"
"Mr. Chen, please don't misunderstand me. I came here specifically to thank you today," Song Che pointed at the brocade cloth behind him. "These were originally brocade cloths that could not be sold in my warehouse. Unexpectedly, Mr. Chen used his big hand to sell them with a higher price." I bought them all for the market price of 2,000 yuan, oh, this is really a timely help!"
Chen Rencai was stunned, "Yesterday it wasn't you who went around asking for brocade cloth, why...oh!" He suddenly realized and became furious, furious: "You despicable and shameless people, how dare you join forces to blackmail me! I ...I want to return it!”
At this time, a bookkeeper came forward and said: "Mr. Chen, we signed the deed in front of you yesterday. If you want to return it now, you will have to pay three times the liquidated damages."
Another accountant said, "That's right. Anyway, the Chen family has a business path. If they go to the north and sell it, they can make a profit of ten taels per horse! Don't worry about accepting these three carts of brocade cloth!"
"Song Che...I...I'm going to make you unable to get out of the south of the city!" Chen Rencai roared so hard that his saliva flowed wildly: "Quick! Go and call all the guys in the store and beat him to death!"
"Sir, please calm down, the neighbors are watching!" The man dragged Chen Rencai.
In broad daylight, in full view of everyone, you dare to hit someone?
Song Che jumped off the carriage, clapped his hands, and looked down upon Chen Rencai: "You do have financial resources and a background, but you just have no brains. Huh...Chen Rencai, it would be more appropriate to change your name to Idiot!"
"Gentlemen, please remember to help me bring the carriage back after unloading the goods."
"sure."
"let's go!"
Song Che waved his sleeves and left with his family laughing.
"Ahhh...Song Che! You and I are irreconcilable!"
