Wake up.
Xie Fan lamented that Liulin is really a big city, and living there costs one tael of silver per day.
Zhu Ran brought the face wash, "Master, it's really expensive. Let's live in one room today! Where can I sleep instead of sleeping?"
After Xie Fan finished washing, he went to the street again and asked around. He wanted to buy a shop for at least one hundred taels of silver.
Zhu Ran said angrily, "Master, it would have been better if I didn't go to Yanchun Tower yesterday!"
Xie Fan shook his head, "Zhu Ran, if you don't have enough money, you can think of a way! If you don't go to Yanchun Tower, after passing this village, there won't be this shop!"
On the street, Xie Fan found a crowded street corner with many farmers selling vegetables.
He patted Zhu Ran on the shoulder, "I brought ten sheepskin water bags in the car, go get them!"
Xie Fan waited for a moment, and Zhu Ran came back.
"The sheepskin water bags are placed on the ground. No need to shout. When someone comes, just say twenty taels of silver each."
"Master, do you want me to sell goods here?"
"Today, you stay here and go home when you sell out!"
"Master, what should I do if I can't sell out?"
Xie Fan approached the other party's ear and said, "If it can't be sold out, I'll give you ten taels of silver to go to Yanchun Tower and live a luxurious life!"
After Zhu Ran was settled, Xie Fan came to Li Ji Buzhuang.
Shopkeeper Tong entertained him warmly and prepared good tea early, "Thank you, Mr. Tong, please wait a moment, I'll call the manager!"
Xie Fan sipped tea leisurely and looked at his clothes. They were indeed a little worse for wear.
A man, dressed luxuriously, entered the room, "Is this Mr. Xie? How disrespectful!"
"Young Master Li, you're welcome! I have no choice but to ask you to come out!"
"Please take a seat! My name is Li Qinghua, and I am the eldest in the Li family." The man announced his family name, his face beaming with joy, "I wonder what kind of business Mr. Xie does?"
When I came up, I inquired about the details and found out that he was indeed a businessman.
Xie Fan looked at shopkeeper Tong, who saw the situation and left, "To be honest with Mr. Li, I am doing some business in the mountains! Because there are some ways, I also want to do the cloth business!"
Li Qinghua's eyes lit up, "In that case, I have a gracious favor! I want to buy a piece of tiger skin. Is there anything of decent quality?"
Xie Fan smiled and said, "Tiger skin is not uncommon. Next time I will bring a few pieces for you to choose from!"
He remembered that there used to be a piece of Qingfeng Village. When I came back from the Yi Kingdom, I found a lot of leather goods, but I didn't know if there were any tiger skins.
However, we can't show our timidity now, we have to hold up the situation!
Li Qinghua was just testing it out, but after hearing what the other party said, he felt confident, "My father is very fond of leather goods, so I'm here to help you, young master!"
"So, what's the price of the cloth?"
Li Qinghua picked up the teacup and stared at it, "30% off! This is already the lowest price!"
Xie Fan shook his head, "Sir, if a piece of cloth is worth ten taels in Liulin, it might be worth one tael in the barren land! If that's the case, wouldn't it be more affordable for me to buy it elsewhere?"
Li Qinghua paused and said with a smile, "It won't be that much different! You can see that the quality of the cloth is not comparable to that of cheap goods! From weaving to dyeing, the Li family has spent a lot of effort on every step. !”
Xie Fan continued to shake his head, "Master Li, this is not a one-time deal. If we do it well, I guarantee that we will do at least two thousand taels of transactions a month! Small profits but quick turnover, why not?"
Li Qinghua thought for a moment and said, "40% off, this is the lowest! If word of this gets out, my peers won't agree!"
Xie Fan put down the cup, "Next month, I want a thousand taels of goods, 55% off! Then, I will give you a tiger skin for free!"
A piece of tiger skin is worth hundreds of taels of silver.
Calculated in this way, it is acceptable.
Li Qinghua gritted his teeth and held the other person's hand tightly, "Okay, I'll treat you as my friend! I'll order someone to prepare the goods, but I have to pay half of the deposit first!"
Xie Fan lowered his voice, "I didn't bring so much money with me when I went out this time. Don't worry, I will never break my promise! My Xie family is famous. A few days ago, the emperor issued a decree and sealed two of my mountains!"
"Imperial decree?" Li Qinghua was stunned for a second. It is not difficult to find out whether this matter is true or not. "Since the Xie family has such strength, I am naturally relieved. However, there must be this deposit."
"In this case, I will pay one hundred taels of silver first and deliver it tomorrow!"
"Okay, let's write the contract again at this time tomorrow!" Li Qinghua agreed. In one day, he could distinguish the authenticity of the imperial edict.
"I still have something to worry about!" Xie Fan stood up and took out ten taels of silver from his waist. "My body is a bit shabby. Please help me make a suitable body for me!"
Li Qinghua looked at the other party's expression and thought of his mountain goods business, "Mr. Xie, if you are doing business in Liulin, you should really change your clothes!"
Immediately, Li Qinghua called shopkeeper Tong and customized an outfit for Xie Fan.
Xie Fan left the address and money and left.
Li Qinghua immediately sent someone to inquire about the recent decrees of the imperial court and whether it had given any favors to the Xie family.
…
Sunset.
Finally, someone reported it and confirmed the imperial edict.
Li Qinghua got on his horse, went to the store to get some clothes, and went to find Xie Fan.
At this moment, Xie Fan was looking at the two hundred taels of silver that Zhu Ran had brought back, wondering how to spend it.
There was a knock on the door, "Mr. Xie, I am Li Qinghua!"
Zhu Ran opened the door and Li Qinghua was holding the clothes. He saw the two hundred taels of silver and said, "Thank you, Master, your clothes are ready!"
Xie Fan stood up in a hurry, "I'll just get it, how can I ask my brother to deliver it in person?"
Zhu Ran retreated outside the room and closed the door.
Li Qinghua touched the silver with one hand, "Thank you for being so polite, brother, the silver is all ready!"
Xie Fan smiled and said, "Here are two hundred taels, half to pay the down payment and half to open a shop. I came in a hurry, so I only brought so much!"
"Enough!" Li Qinghua agreed, "If Brother Xie wants to sell a shop, I can help. There are also a few empty shops in my Li family!"
"But, I wonder if these one hundred taels are enough?"
Li Qinghua's eyes were full of money and he was very polite, "Thank you, brother, just give me the money, so don't worry!"
Xie Fan was not ambiguous and immediately signed the contract and handed over the two hundred taels to the other party.
Li Qinghua was carrying the money and was about to leave when he thought of something else, "Brother Xie, put on your clothes! Leave the money and I'll take you for a walk!"
After the other party left, Xie Fan gave the contract to Zhu Ran, "Put your things away and don't leave me!"
Zhu Ran looked at the empty table and said, "Master, two hundred taels, are they just gone?"
Xie Fan changed his clothes and became energetic, "Zhu Ran, take ten taels of silver and go play by yourself!"
He left the inn, and Li Qinghua was waiting on the carriage, "Brother Xie, come up!"
"Brother Li, this willow forest is prosperous. I wonder where you want to take me?"
Li Qinghua smiled evilly and whispered, "A place that all men like!"
"oh?"
"Yanchun Tower!"
