Chapter 20 Seeing the World

Kang Chengdong shook his clothes, stomped his feet, shook off the snow on his body, and walked into the hall of the fur yard. As soon as he entered the hall, a man in a green hat came up and bowed, "Where is this customer coming from? What business do you want to do?"

Kang Chengdong looked at the person, who was in his thirties and was very capable, and asked, "Who are you? I'm afraid I'm not a good person when I look at my details like this. I'm here to watch it, so don't ask randomly."

The man smiled and handed over a famous thorn, saying, "Below is He Kun, the tooth man in this yard. This is the name thorn, which is made by the Bingzhou Yamen. According to the new thorn, anyone who comes here to do business must be managed, photographed and traded by the thorn."

After saying that, he pointed to a white wall next to the entrance, and posted a list of articles on it.

Kang Chengdong was skeptical, took the famous thorn, took the follower, and went to the Baibi to watch. The current listing text is more detailed than the previous notice, and it stipulates the rules, various taboos, and services provided by the merchants in the northern region and the Central Plains to do business here. In particular, it is no longer necessary for merchants to set up stalls and set up spots like other local cargo yards, but to inform the yard of the yard of the yard to be bought and sold through the yard. Of course, merchants can choose to disclose or not disclose this information, and can choose to be anonymous, but private transactions are not allowed.

After reading the list article, Kang Chengdong said to the people around him: "It's only been a matter of time, and there are so many rules, which is completely different from what I heard before. Forget it, let's talk to the man first about how to do business here."

After saying that, he took the famous sting and returned to He Kun and said to him: "Since you are a man allowed by the freight yard, you must be very familiar with the rules of trading here. Let's talk about it, what is different from other places? Is it convenient or inconvenient."

He Kun smiled and said, "Convenience is of course convenient. Bingzhou is the most convenient fur yard in the world. No matter where the merchants come from, you can find us guys when you arrive. How much goods do you have, how much money you have to sell, how much other goods you have, and how much you exchange for, just tell us, and you can find a suitable business for you in a blink of an eye. There is no need to waste time here, nor do you have to worry about being cheated here. All transactions are guaranteed by the Bingzhou Yamen. As long as we have traded, you can rest assured."

Kang Chengdong laughed at the ear: "What big talk is that the merchants here are like crucian carp trees, and they have all kinds of business. Do you know what everyone wants to buy and sell? They just know that there are different quality and price, and how to make a count!"

He Kun smiled on his face and raised his hand and said, "It seems that this is the first time Yuanwai came to Bingzhou and knows nothing about it. It doesn't matter, let's follow me. After seeing it, you will know how our business is done here."

Kang Chengdong looked around. The people in the hall were either leisurely or anxious. Some sat quietly, some were spinning around, and some were messy accents. They were everywhere. Strangely, there were no goods here, but a large number of merchants were concentrated.

As He Kun entered the hall, he turned the corner and saw a large platform on the side. He walked forward and found that there were all kinds of goods on the platform, including tea, porcelain, lacquerware, fragrant medicine, and pearls and jewelry, all kinds of things. Next to the platform, there were soldiers in military uniforms, standing there, without saying a word or laughing, as if a wooden pillar was standing there.

Ling Kang Chengdong stepped forward and He Kun said, "Please look at it. There are all kinds of goods here, all of which are divided into grades. The prices at the back will be available every day, and the days will be different. What goods do you want to buy and what quality you want, just record the grade here."

He led Kang Chengdong to take a rough look and then turned to the other side. He saw several wide white walls side by side, with various information listed on them, but they were all hanging names of teeth. Each tooth is divided into two items, from raw and cooked skin to fragrant medicinal tea silk, and everything is divided into levels.

After letting Kang Chengmo see, He Kun said, "Does the official understand? Just tell me how much goods there are and what you buy and sell. I will help you complete the business from this white wall. The quality level is sent by the yamen and set it with us, so there is no falsehood."

Kang Chengdong looked at Baibi and was stunned. He had been doing business for many years and had walked several places along the border. He had never seen anyone doing business like this. He originally thought that he had brought nearly two thousand sheepskins this time, and he was an amazing merchant. I don’t know when the transaction would be completed. Unexpectedly, two thousand raw skins on this Baibi were nothing. He Kun said it well and could be completed in an instant.

After calming down, Kang Chengdong found He Kun's name and saw that there were more than 100 pieces of raw skins to be sold under his name, as well as a lot of incense, porcelain, and other goods, and even more than 500 pieces of cooked skins for sale. He couldn't help but feel shocked. This man was not at all conspicuous, but he didn't want the goods under his name to be worth almost ten times that of his own. Isn't he a big official in Bingzhou City?

He immediately put away his contempt and bowed to He Kun, "I don't want to have so many goods under your name. I have been doing business for many years, so it is rare for such a large-scale official. I offended him just now, so Wan Moxiang went to heart."

He Kun smiled and said, "The official said that the goods under his name belong to the customer, and I just helped sell them. If you ask me to sell them on your behalf, I will add a lot of them immediately in my name, which is not surprising!"

Kang Chengdong said: "That's not the case. If you don't have family property as a guarantee, how can the yamen allow you to do such a big business!"

"The officials misunderstood. I am a member of the yamen, and the one who protects the transaction is the yamen. We are different from other places. All transactions must be supervised by the yamen, and there is no loophole to take advantage of. We yamen are just helping you take care of and business."

Kang Chengdong still didn't understand: "What should I do if my goods were placed in your name? Aren't you afraid that what I said would be inconsistent with my actual goods? Or that you took care of the business, but I had already sold them to someone else."

He Kun shook his head repeatedly: "It's nothing. If the official wants to hang it in my name, he needs to sign a contract with me. The yamen over there will be sealed. After the contract is signed, I will send the goods into the yard with you. At that time, the people from the yamen will work with us to count the quantity of goods, order the quality and level of goods, and then enter the warehouse. After that, the official only needs to seal the contract on the transaction, and even the yard does not need to go to the yard. When the transaction is completed, we will have no connection with the goods you want to buy together."

Kang Chengdong listened, opened his mouth and stared at his eyes, but he didn't expect that there would be such a way of trading. To put it too much, he said that as long as He Kun signed the contract for the tooth, he would be sold. It was just that it was difficult to get cash and buy other goods. With the sufficient goods here, this process would not take much time. Anyway, the quality level is determined, and it saves countless efforts. You can quickly pick up the goods by setting the quantity.

It took a long time to figure out the transaction process and let out a long sigh: "It turns out that this is how Bingzhou does business, which is really convenient. But this time I brought a lot of goods, and it was the first time I came here, so I didn't dare to make it in a hurry. Let me wait for two days, understand the rules here, and then make a contract with you? Don't worry, if the business goes well this time, I will come to you in the future!"
