Chapter 38: Fighting the King of Han

After the three brothers exchanged pleasantries, Zhang Anshi announced to the two: “Today, I have an appointment with a few merchants, we, the two murderers of the capital, have a job to do, things should not be delayed, it’s not early now, we have to hurry to set off, you guys give me to remember, see those merchants, to be fierce, do not degrade the prestige of our two murderers of the capital!”

Upon hearing that there was something to do, Zhang Yoking and Zhu Yong instantly jumped up and down, both chicken-pecking, “Listen to big brother.”

The new spinning machines are so productive.

And the productivity brought about by hundreds of eunuchs and palace eunuchs spinning around the clock is extremely impressive.

In the capital, because the vast majority of gauze had to be shipped from Songjiangfu, and this was a time when transportation costs remained high, the price of cotton yarn was never low.

Of course, Nanjing’s cotton production is not without, just the vast majority of small households are sporadic, like Zhang Anshi such a short period of time on the backlog of tens of thousands of pounds of goods, but only a few.

Pointing to take these cotton yarn to retail is impossible, can only find a few big businessmen to let them eat, they can concentrate on production.

Zhang Anshi spent money to hire a guarantor, invited a few big merchants in Nanjing to negotiate. Of course, the only trouble is that you can not play the signboard of the East Palace, after all, the East Palace out to do business is not good after all.

Just those merchants are all very cunning, there is no guarantee that they will not pressure the price, or take other means, in order to insure that the capital of the two murderers will be useful.

Zhang Anshi led Zhu Yong and Zhang Yoking through the city, to a previously agreed upon wine shop, the second floor of the wine shop is a place of purity.

Zhang Anshi’s trio thumped up the stairs, and Zhang Anshi didn’t forget to instruct, “Take out a bit of pizzazz later.”

Zhu Yong’s eyes immediately glared bigger than copper bells and crossed his arms, “Is this okay.”

Zhang Anshi then said with satisfaction, “Second Brother always puts me at ease.”

And in the elegant room on the second floor, there were already three merchants sitting around.

These three merchants, one called Liang Wu, is the newest up and coming merchant in Nanjing city, doing a lot of trading, can be said to be rich.

The other one was called Zhu Jin, who was holding a tealight and drinking tea at the moment.

The last man, quite unassuming, heaps smiles on everyone he meets.

Zhang Anshi’s three men came in.

As soon as they saw that the ones who had asked them to come were actually just three teenagers, these three merchants first showed their dissatisfaction.

Liang Wu, in particular, had a stern face and looked like he was about to get up and leave at any moment.

However, apparently Zhang Anshi invited the face of the guarantor is relatively large, coupled with Zhang Anshi stood behind a black-faced teenager, eyes glaring, gritted teeth, this small calf in general, as if to see the murder of the parents of the enemy, let a person in the heart of the fear, this would like to turn around to go away, only reluctantly to stay.

Zhang Anshi and they met in salute.

Zhu Jin smiled and said, “Long time no see, long time no see.”

Zhang Anshi also said, “Long time, long time.”

Liang Wu only said indifferently, “You three dolls, what kind of business are you going to do?”

“We have some cotton yarn on hand, not much, 20,000 pounds ……”

Upon hearing 20,000 pounds, these three merchants were moved.

Liang Wu looked disbelieving and said, “Twenty thousand pounds, do you know how much twenty thousand pounds of cotton yarn is?”

Zhang Anshi said in a pleasant manner, “Of course I know, you see, the samples are brought, and now I just want to get through to the source of goods, if any of you are interested, you can take goods from us, I know that you are all powerful people, if the cooperation is good, we have negotiated a good price, I’m plenty of goods, how much do you want.”

Saying that, Zhang Anshi took out the cotton yarn in his arms.

Liang Wu’s disdainful appearance still sits on the end of the shelf, but he has already begun to believe it, just the more this time, the more he has to show that he does not care about the appearance, only then, at that time, if you really want to eat this goods, only then there is room to kill the price.

That Zhu Jin fell up, took over the cotton yarn, began to play up, his eyes lit up, because this cotton yarn spun extremely dense, and touch is also very soft, compared to the majority of the cotton yarn on the market, can be called the top of the top and so on.

Zhu Jin smiled and held the cotton yarn out to Liang Wu at the side, “Brother Liang take a look.”

Liang Wu only glanced, he is a connoisseur, the heart suddenly realized that the other side if there is really such a large amount of goods, and the quality of the samples as well, is absolutely no worries about sales.

Profitable.

“How’s that, I can’t find a better coming for this cotton yarn in the entire capital.”

“What price do you want to sell it for?”

Zhang Anshi said, “I’m young and I’m not very clear about the market, so I’d like to ask for your guidance.”

Zhu Jin hesitated, began to think about the price, cotton yarn in this era is a necessity, never worry about selling, to know …… that sometimes the salaries of officials, are used to replace it with cloth, and cotton yarn is the raw material of cloth, how much acquisition is not a loss.

And the quality of this cotton yarn is quite good ……

Zhu Jin’s mind moved as he looked at the three teenagers in front of him.

Businessmen, of course, seek to maximize profits.

He struck a disinterested look.

On the other hand, Liang Wu is obviously of the same mind, and smiles disdainfully, “Such cotton yarn …… is not worth a few dollars. I don’t think a hundred dollars a catty is worth it.”

Zhang Anshi stared wide-eyed, “One hundred dollars? But outside, even unusual gauze is worth a hundred and fifty dollars, this gauze of mine is top quality ……”

Liang Wu hemmed and hawed, contemptuously glanced at Zhang Anshi: “Young people do not believe in the words, do not know how to appreciate, here, gauze is the price, if not, you sell others to go, and see how many cloth merchants in the capital dare to want your goods.”

Zhu Jin sat on the side and gave Liang Wu a complicated look.

He quickly realized that Liang Wu wasn’t trying to suppress the price, he was clearly trying to go dark.

Zhang Anshi’s face sank slightly as he said, “What do you mean by that?”

“There is no meaning, in this Nanjing city, such a big deal, the old man in this business still have some reputation, I do not allow people to collect, you this goods will rot in the hands.”

Zhang Anshi stared at him coldly and said, “Are you trying to bully others with your power?”

Liang Wu slowly drank a mouthful of tea, and then gently used the tea lid to slowly wipe away the tea froth floating in the tealight, and faintly said, “Young people must not talk nonsense, if not, you have to suffer.”

Why does this …… sound familiar?

Zhang Anshi looked at Liang Wu with a dumbfounded expression, he originally thought that he had made this deal easy with the outstanding quality of the gauze.

And the reality is a bit of a slap in the face, it seems that …… many business in Nanjing City, not so simple.

Liang Wu looked up with a smile on his face and looked at Zhang Anshi, and again said word for word: “I’ll say it plainly, my inner brother serves as a hundred tenant in the Han King’s mansion, what is the Han King’s origin, you know, right, if I put out the word, no one will dare to take your goods.”

After saying that, as if he was afraid that Zhang Anshi wouldn’t believe him, he turned his head to look at Zhu Jin and said, “Zhu Xiandi, this one, do you dare to take it?”

Zhu Jin’s face turned white with fear and immediately shook his head, “I wouldn’t dare, I wouldn’t dare.”

“How about I give you eighty dollars? Eighty dollars a catty.” Liang Wu pressed on step by step.

Only then did Zhang Anshi come back to his senses and looked at Liang Wu in surprise: “King Han, so you are King Han’s lackey.”

As soon as he heard the word walking dog, Liang Wu immediately became angry and drank, “Unbridled, you little doll ……”

Zhang Anshi, however, had begun to push up his sleeves, “Do you have any fucking idea who we are?”

Liang Wu said, “You guys ……”

Zhang Anshi replied to himself, “We are the two murderers of the capital, damn it, I’m fighting the King of Han, brothers, give it to me!”

Liang Wu: “……”
