Chapter 106: Autumn and winter are coming, the spy war (1)
In September, the autumn is clear and cool. The golden woods in the suburbs are made of large blood-like maple leaves, which are particularly enchanting.
In the secluded alley in the south city, a middle-aged man dressed in silk and dressed in a man dressed in a man, holding a plain folding fan in his left hand, walking in square steps, slowly walking towards the depths of the alley.
When he came to a shabby grocery store, he looked up at the same shabby sign, and the word "Tongyin" made him sure that this was the destination he was going to.
He crossed the half-foot threshold and glanced at the store. After half a foot of the counter, there were only a few goods on the dilapidated shelves that were cleaned less. A half-lying on the counter, a listless guy. It was really unexpected that this shopkeeper was actually a businessman.
He showed disdain on his face, put away the folding fan with a whistle, slapped his right hand rhythmically, and asked the clerk: "Can Shopkeeper Yan be there?"
When he finished asking, the shop's guys also had a strange reaction. He did not see customers coming to greet him diligently, but continued to lie down and asked lazily: "What's the matter?"
"Go and call him, and say someone from Songjiang Mansion will discuss business with him!" The middle-aged man waved the fan handle impatiently.
The guy didn't get up immediately, but asked the person. "What do you call the Lord? How do you know my shopkeeper?"
"You are not worthy of asking me! You told him: The shopkeeper Huang from Shanxi introduced him!" The person who came was very arrogant.
"Wait! I'll call him now!" After hearing his answer, the guy's face changed drastically and got up and was about to leave.
"No need! I am Yan Zhuochen. Is the master? "The door leading to the backyard suddenly opened. A thin old man in a gray cloth robe stepped into the door and raised his hand to greet him.
"Good luck! Lucky luck! In the morning of Lin Qian, he left the Huang shopkeeper Huang's way. He came to cooperate with Yan shopkeeper Yan to trade!" Lin Qian bowed his hand and looked at the person who came carefully. This was a very ordinary old man, but his face had a pair of sharp eyes like an eagle and a cold look, which showed that he was a cruel and ruthless master.
"Since it was introduced by Manager Huang, let's talk inside!" Yan Zhuochen asked Lin Qian to the backyard while observing Lin Qian up and down. He felt that Lin Qian was too ostentatious and not cunning. However, his face looked like a wind and frost, and it seemed that he had suffered a hardship.
They came to the small backyard, where the facilities were very simple, with tables and chairs as dilapidated as shops. The three south-facing main rooms were built very neatly.
Neither of them spoke. After the guy went out for tea, Lin Qian kept looking at the other rooms in the yard, as if he was afraid that someone would eavesdrop on their conversation.
Seeing that he was so careful, Yan Zhuochen did not blame him for his unreasonableness. Instead, he nodded with confidence. "Shopkeeper Yan is so careful, we are the only one here. I am the only one who has just left my shop. I will tell you straightforwardly if you have any business!"
After hearing this, Lin Qian took back his eyes and took out a small piece of white veil from his arms. He asked tentatively: "Shopkeeper Qu in Batong Store, if I want to buy this thing for a big event, how much does it cost?"
"Wouldn't you be sensible when you sell it to Manager Qu?" Yan Zhuochen seemed a little puzzled, looked at the teacup, and focused on slashing the floating tea in the cup with the lid.
"Shopkeeper Qu bids 30 taels per piece. I just wonder if I can sell it for 60 taels!" Lin Qian's eyes showed his desire for money.
"How many do you have?"
Lin Qian proudly stretched out four fingers.
"Four hundred pieces? You'd better sell them to Manager Qu!" Yan Zhuochen looked extremely disgusted.
"Four hundred? Why do I have to work hard to find you? Four thousand! If you are not interested, just pretend I didn't come!" Lin Gan's speech was domineering.
Yan Zhuochen raised his eyes and stared at Lin Gan, without answering immediately. Instead, he asked about his family background: "Where is the shopkeeper Lin's family? Why can there be so many veils?"
Lin Gan smiled and said, "Shopkeeper Yan is careful enough. My family lives in Kaiping. I bought a scholar four years ago and went to Songjiang for a trip. By the way, I bought a few shops and workshops there. Why? Shopkeeper Yan, what else do you want to ask?"
Seeing that Yan Zhuochen was still hesitating, Lin Gan put down the teacup, gritted his teeth and said, "I am a concubine. At home, I have no way to stand up. My second uncle, who is the second uncle who is the candidate in Beijing, is quite responsible for me. This time, I spent 100,000 yuan to help my second uncle find the real shortage of the Songjiang Prefect. I want to get back the money as soon as possible! Shopkeeper Yan, if you are in a dilemma, I will think of other ways."
"What kind of goods do you want?" Yan Zhuochen was much more relieved. After all, the officials' releases the matter, and you will know the truth and falsehood as soon as you inquire. Lin Gan seemed to be really anxious.
"Gold and silver are the best, Dongzhu, mink, and bear skin are also fine! Forget ginseng, the Batong Centre has recently reduced the price of ginseng by 30%!"
Yan Zhuochen was completely relieved after hearing him, because it means that Lin Gan understands the market very well. What he wants is the shortage of luxury goods in the city.
"How can you ship it out?"
"Walking on the sea, the Denglai Shui Army can easily settle this matter by spending money!" Lin Gan was already confident.
"Brother, what else can you transport?"
"Tea, silk! Sulphur is not good, Batong has raised the price of this product. I am not as rich as the shopkeeper Qu." Lin Gan hated Qu Guozheng's financial resources. At the same time, when he heard Yan Zhuochen call him brother, he immediately understood that the matter was done.
"Brother, can you get 6,000 veils? When will you set off? How many ships do you have?" Yan Zhuochen asked expectantly.
"At most, seven thousand pieces! The faster the better, the better. My second uncle will also visit Shangguan from Yingtian Mansion. I have to pay all the money! Your brother tells me, aren't I in a hurry? If my brother does this time, I will give you 10% of it! I bought three medium-sized lucky ships. As long as my brother settles here, I can set off immediately."
"I'm working hard! You go back and listen to my letter. I will definitely give you a reply for five days at most!"
"Okay! Just do what my brother said! Give me a face tonight, let's have a drink for Zuixiangju, how about it?"
"I'll spend money! I'll go and arrange it." Lin Gan knew that he was the arrangement clerk and asked about his second uncle. After all, it's best to find out this matter.
................
Zuixiang lived in front of the door. Lin Gan, who was drunk, said goodbye to Yan Zhuochen a little drunk and said apologetically: "Brother, the wine is not good, brother is negligent! I hope you will be more tolerant!"
"You are polite, brother! Where do you live? I will give you a ride!"
"Brother lives in Chunfeng Tower and has a small courtyard. Hey...he...hey, if you are interested, go with me! I will definitely find a Peugeot girl to give me a diarrhea!" Lin Gan smiled lewdly on his face, pulled Yan Zhuochen and left.
Yan Zhuochen waved his hands repeatedly and refused. "Brother, go, I have something to do. Let's talk about it later! Let's talk about it later!"
Lin Gan chased him far away, but seeing that Yan Zhuochen repeatedly insisted on going, he had to return in disappointment.
He burped and returned to his residence, and teased the girl with heavy makeup at the door for a while. He took advantage of it before entering.
Lin Gan walked through the yard and came to the backyard, and glanced at the Turtle Man who was holding the door. The two of them had their eyes intersected, and Lin Gan was no longer drunk. He quickly pushed the door and walked into the main room.
Zheng Tai, a famous shopkeeper in the capital, was drinking tea leisurely. When he saw Lin Gan enter the door, he pointed to the chair beside him.
Lin Gan carefully closed the door and chuckled softly: "If we hadn't been fully prepared, we would have seen the flaws by this guy!"
"If we succeed this time, we will live up to the expectations of the Grandmaster for us! Otherwise, the detective office will always suppress us." Zheng Tai sighed deeply.
