Chapter 210 Going to Yecheng
"Return to Guanye, we are merchants from Yizhou, and we are going to Yecheng to sell some pearls." The special forces soldier pretending to be a vendor replied quickly.
"Pearls trading?" The guardian official stroked his chin with a playful touch and smiled: "Yizhou is here, right? Yizhou is a colony. Any vendors in the colony have to charge twice the cost of passing the customs. Open your cargo box, and I will check it again!"
"Official, I have already checked and paid customs duties when I entered Guangling. And I have never heard of the more tariffs I have to pay in the commerce of the colonies..."
However, before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the guards: "Being arrogant and dare to argue with me. You and others are from the colony. You and others know that Your Majesty hates foreign races the most. If you dare to say more, I will seize all your goods!"
"Yes, yes, yes, I dare not wait. Just check!" The special forces immediately became weak.
Yes, there is no higher-tech inspection method. Nowadays, inspections still have to be manually inspected.
This is a must. Otherwise, you can bring some weapons into the city, which is not bad.
The same is true for commerce. There are no online orders and telephone orders. Of course, you have to go to the city to find a buyer.
Although commerce and trade have developed greatly, it is still far behind it compared to later generations.
The officers and soldiers guarding the pass checked carefully, but after seeing the pearl, their eyes shone brightly.
Even if they steal and bully them, the big head was still eaten by the people above. The little soldiers could only take the small head.
This kind of pearl is not something they can afford.
The official saw that although Lu Bu's group was tall and big, they all looked like they were bullied.
Humph, since you come from overseas, you must bully it.
So, he secretly caught a handful of pearls on the spot, and then pretended to pass the inspection and asked everyone to pay the fee and leave.
Everyone said that they were unlucky but not afraid to speak out.
Then, all the way north was squeezed.
Xu Shu couldn't help but be angry: "I didn't expect that Jizhou is already in chaos, Cao Pi deserves to die!"
But Lu Bu just smiled lightly: "Now I will let them spit out what they eat. When Yecheng is here, find a place to move in first!"
"Yes, Boss Bu!" Xu Shu replied.
Yes, in order not to reveal his identity, this is what Lu Bu asked everyone to call him.
In order to prevent accidentally calling it wrong, Lu Bu made everyone call it like this along the way.
The word boss has long been popular by Lu Bu.
The businessman who once looked down upon has long become the upper class in society.
Since I was a merchant from afar, I was naturally not familiar with Yecheng. Everyone asked around and found out that there was no good inn in Yecheng.
Soon, everyone found out that the best and most luxurious inn in Yecheng was the Yecheng Hotel.
Well, although the name is ordinary, it is an iconic building and store.
This is a six-story restaurant, which is already considered a high building in this era.
Similarly, Lu Bu also created many departments to manage industry and commerce.
Of course, these departments were also copied from later generations.
Business license, tax registration certificate, fire protection certificate, health license, etc.
In other words, you can't just open a store just by opening it.
Lu Bu has implemented a society ruled by law. If he does not follow his standards, he will kill you.
I originally thought that even the best hotel in Yecheng would be like this. Compared with later generations, it would definitely be more than 100,800 miles away.
But after entering, Lu Bu realized that he was wrong.
This is really luxurious, the floor is completely paved with marble.
The walls were covered with a layer of gold paper, which was completely magnificent.
Damn, this is almost catching up with his palace.
Of course, the cost is also ridiculously expensive. Those who can truly afford to live in the Yecheng Hotel are definitely either rich or noble.
Similarly, Lu Bu had to admire the wisdom of the ancients.
Why? Because the third floor is the "sauna department".
Porn, gambling, drugs, except for the people who don’t know how to deal with drugs, they do everything else.
How could Lu Bu not sigh if he is so good at doing business?
Of course, some things cannot be completely changed in a short time.
The waiter is still called a waiter by habitually.
The hotel owner is still used to calling the shopkeeper.
Under the waiter's various inducements, Lu Bu and Xu Shu went to take a "sauna".
How dare Xu Shu? Being an official is not clean, but it is a serious crime.
Besides, Boss Bu, you have so many beautiful wives at home, why bother to come out to eat wild food?
How could Lu Bu not smile: "It's just a shower, what is Yuan Zhi thinking?"
"No, no!"
In this way, Xu Shu was taken to the bath by Lu Bula.
Why is it uncomfortable to have a beautiful woman rubbing her back?
It’s very simple. Since you are a wealthy businessman, you don’t even take a shower. Do you look like a wealthy businessman?
The performance that needs to be done must be done.
However, Lu Bu definitely won’t eat this kind of wild food.
Very simple, not clean.
After taking a shower, each person will naturally go back to his house and take a break.
But soon, Xu Shu ran to find Lu Bu.
Xu Shu whispered: "Boss Bu, there is something wrong with this store."
Lu Bu immediately said seriously: "Say!"
Xu Shu said: "Shu just passed by the entrance of the building and heard someone making noise in the lobby. It turned out that a guest accidentally broke a cup, but the restaurant asked him to compensate him for 100,000 yuan. The guest refused and wanted to argue with the shopkeeper, but he was beaten out."
"Hundred thousand yuan!" Lu Bu frowned: "What cup is so valuable?"
You know, Jingdezhen is still on Sun Quan's territory, and Lu Bu has not yet developed Jingdezhen porcelain.
Xu Shu picked up the cup on the table and said, "This cup is just a few dozen yuan, although it is white porcelain. The store owner wants 100,000 yuan to compensate, so why isn't it blackmail!"
Lu Bu took the cup and looked at it, and couldn't help but smile: "It seems that this store is a black store!"
Xu Shu nodded: "If there is no background, I will never dare to be so arrogant. We have shown that we are a wealthy businessman in Yizhou, and the store owner may even design us."
Lu Bu smiled: "Since that's the case, then I will give them a chance!"
As soon as the words fell, Lu Bu loosened his hand and the cup in his hand fell to the ground instantly. How could it not be broken in response to the sound?
How could Xu Shu not understand Lu Bu’s intentions and immediately summoned the waiter to send tea?
The waiter entered quickly and saw the broken teacup on the ground, but he immediately showed joy.
This is really a gift, and there is an opportunity without having to design it.
The waiter hurriedly said, "House, it's okay to deliver tea. However, if the guest breaks the hotel items, he has to compensate."
Xu Shu waved his hand: "My boss has money, but he only has a cup. I will give it to you when you check out tomorrow. Don't be too verbally whispered, and change the tea quickly!"
How can I feel when I was scolded by Lu Bu? You are rich, you are awesome, you will cry in a while.
The waiter sneered: "Housekeeper, I will explain it to you first. This is not an ordinary cup!"
"Isn't it just an ordinary cup, what's so strange about it?"
The little one thrust his waist and said arrogantly: "This is the porcelain cup given by His Majesty now!"
Chapter completed!
