Xiuya Company is a giant in the business world in Nanyuan Kingdom, and Xue Tianlang is the big shopkeeper in charge of a county's business. The amount of money is really difficult for him to disturb. He just glanced at it and said to himself, "It's a bit expensive." That's the reaction.
Zhang Yan will not ask for high prices. He had gone to the weapons shop in Langyuan City many times before, and he also knew a lot about this business. Although the prices for his three handguns seemed outrageous, they were also the prices he came up with after weighing them in his mind.
Zhang Yan went to pick up a long knife that was said to be the treasure of the largest weapons shop in Langyuan City, and tested every aspect of it. Using the price of that long knife as a reference, Zhang Yan doubled the price of his daggers and short knives tenfold. He thought it was very reasonable.
But what was different from what Zhang Yan thought was Xue Tianlang's idea.
In Xue Tianlang's opinion, Zhang Yan was using this method to filter out the forces he came into contact with. After all, real money is the most direct, and it is also the most reliable and effective "sincerity" in the eyes of businessmen like Xue Tianlang.
This time, Xue Tianlang, who was running day and night from Xiangkou to Langyuan City, also came with a death order. Yuanding Imperial City asked him to get in touch with Zhang Yan as quickly as possible and establish friendship. It is perfectly acceptable to pay some price if necessary. Xue Tianlang didn't guess the underlying reason. It was not something he needed to worry about. He just had to carry out the orders given to him by his superiors.
So in Xue Tianlang's eyes, the outrageous prices on the shelves were not unacceptable. It was not difficult for Dangtang Xiuya Company to come up with this little money. Secondly, what he bought was not a dagger, but an opportunity to "make friends" with Zhang Yan.
"Haha, I have to support Mr. Zhang's opening of business." As he said this, he raised his hand and called in a follower. After whispering a few words in his ear, the latter ran away. Then he ran back with a small wooden box in just a cup of tea.
Xiuya Store also has a store in Langyuan City. There will be no difficulty in getting some cash notes over.
Xue Tianlang took the box and opened it to reveal two thick piles of large-value bills. It's just that the money in the box corresponds to the price of the handgun on the shelf, not just one-to-one, but enough to buy all three on the shelf.
"Hey, Shopkeeper Xue, what are you doing?"
"Hahaha, I have always heard that Mr. Zhang is a generous and knowledgeable person. I think it would be a great blessing in life if I were lucky enough to meet him. Now that Mr. Zhang's craft has just come out, how can we not be greedy for such a good thing? Please forgive Mr. Zhang Then you can sell them to me together."
money? Are things that can be solved with money called problems? Xue Tianlang thought that Zhang Yan was using money and votes to screen for influence and sincerity. Does the three-handled weapon mean that it is only willing to contact the three parties? Or have ulterior motives?
Xue Tianlang didn't bother to guess anymore and bought them all in one go. This must be sincerity enough, right? It can also eliminate possible competitors. Isn't it good to kill two birds with one stone?
It's a pity that Zhang Yan's selling of magical artifacts was not a roundabout way of doing things as Xue Tianlang thought. The main purpose was to make money. Today's greatness has an additional thought. But no matter what, it was impossible for Xue Tianlang to take everything by himself. At least not for now.
Ranwen
"Zhang Yan accepted the idea of Shopkeeper Xue. Now there are only three weapons, and the temporary rule is that you can only buy one at a time. Please don't blame Shopkeeper Xue."
"Oh?" Xue Tianlang smiled, not worried at all, but more certain of his guess. I think Zhang Yan's so-called rules are just because he doesn't want him to mess up the plan of screening contact forces.
"Haha, Mr. Zhang really does strange things. Since it is Mr. Zhang's rule, Xue must abide by it." So as he said that, he took out the price of a weapon in the box and handed it to Zhang Yan, and took it casually. One handle. The transaction is completed.
After chatting for a few words, Xue Tianlang said "I'll have tea with Teacher Zhang next time" and left. Zhang Yan also put away the two remaining weapons and returned home. There is currently no magic circle of sufficient strength arranged in the store, so Zhang Yan cannot leave things here yet.
Returning to the Langyuan City business station, Xue Tianlang was in a good mood. He swept away the annoyance of being refused contact by Zhang Yan before.
As long as you open your mouth, you should be able to formally contact Zhang Yan by sending a greeting letter tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. He can continue going down according to the orders given to him from above. Not as clueless as before.
"Haha, that Zhang Yan is a wonderful person. He must have guessed that after Princess Qingling's victory, he would become the favored object of many forces, so in order to avoid trouble, he actually thought of using money tickets to screen the forces.
Indeed, there is no need to contact people who are unable or unwilling to show even this sincerity. Tsk tsk. But this business does bring in a lot of money! "Xue Tianlang thought in his heart.
The price tags of those three weapons alone are already worth the entire wealth of an average wealthy family for several generations. How can ordinary forces be willing to spend this money?
Thinking of this, Xue Tianlang had to sigh that it was really easy for some people to make money.
He took out the dagger inserted in the rough iron sheath, and with a little force, he pulled out the blade that was clamped in the sheath. There was even a clear "clang" of metal sound that made his whole body tremble. It seemed that the room became a little cooler after he pulled out the dagger.
"this......"
Although Xue Tianlang didn't know much about weapons, the dagger felt heavy in his hand, and a chill came from the edge of the dagger, which even made him feel chilly. This all shows that this dagger does not seem to be just a cover as I thought before.
Most people want to confirm the quality of a weapon by whittling it. As the saying goes, "I'll see if the knife is fast or not." Xue Tianlang was like this, he took the dagger and cut it on the corner of the table.
"Bah."
It was like the sound of a knife blade cutting through water. It was very light. If it wasn't quiet in the room, Xue Tianlang wouldn't be able to hear it at all.
"Bata."
A table corner fell to the floor. The cut surface is neat and smooth, and not even a burr on the cut surface of the wood can be seen, as if it had been specially polished with a planer.
"So fast?!"
Xue Tianlang was startled. Then I found a lot of things in the house to try. What teapot, inkstone, copper paperweight. Without exception, all these things were cut smoothly in front of the dagger in his hand, and he didn't even feel any effort when cutting them. It feels like holding a knife and pulling it into the water.
"Old Li, come in for a moment." Xue Tianlang was curious. This dagger is so sharp, is it because he has little experience in this area? Or is it really a sharp weapon? So he called his personal guard in and wanted to hear the other party's side of the story.
"OK."
A man with a beard and white temples came in. After listening to Xue Tianlang's words, he also became interested. Then the moment he held the dagger, his calm smile suddenly froze...
