The Prodigal Son’s Happy Life - Chapter 807

[Chapter 807 The Way of Business]

This governor is not a position in the Chu court, it is just for the convenience of management.

But even so, this position is still high and powerful.

Because the governor’s men are in charge of two thousand elites of the Shenji Battalion, hundreds of boats, and thousands of boatmen. In addition, there are tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of taels of silver in circulation.

Of course, neither Bai Xiaochun nor Zuo Fei care too much about these things.

In Fang Mansion, money and power are all taken lightly.

According to someone’s statement, it doesn’t matter how much money you have. Can it be compared to the money from Baolefang?

The reason why they left their homes and came here was just because of the young master’s mission.

Alone as strangers in a foreign land, at this moment, the two fellow countrymen looked at each other, both of them silent.

After a while, Bai Xiaochun spoke first: “Zuo Fei, right? During this period, you will stay with me for now. After we get familiar with each other, I will give you something to do.”

“Yes, manager!”

Zuo Fei stood upright. , bowed respectfully.

Logically speaking, it should be called Captain, but Bai Xiaochun did not correct him.

After all, in this foreign land, hearing the word ‘general manager’ is already extremely cordial.

He waved his hand and said, “I’m going to discuss something. You stay with me. If there’s nothing else, don’t speak.”

“Young master, I understand everything.” Zuo Fei responded.

Bai Xiaochun nodded, looked at the dark-skinned boatman next to him, and said, “Look at the things here. I have accounts here. If they don’t match up, I’ll ask you!” When

the boatman heard this, he was very busy. He bowed and said, “Yes, Lord Governor!”

Bai Xiaochun gave orders to a few more people and a few things, then turned and left.

In Nanyang, due to climate reasons, the houses here are not built with stone as they are used to in Chu State, but more with wood and bamboo, and they are generally built relatively high, commonly known as stilted buildings.

But even so, it can still be clearly seen that different people live in different houses.

In a relatively luxurious double-storey wooden house somewhere.

Bai Xiaochun was sitting on a master’s chair, and Zuo Fei was standing behind him.

Next to him is a dark-skinned guy.

He seems to be a Chu man, not a native of Nanyang.

“Brother, to tell you the truth, very few Chu people have come to Nanyang in recent years. Those who went to Nanyang were decades ago. Let me tell you, it has been almost thirty years since I came to Nanyang. I haven’t seen many people from Chu country.”

The man looked at Bai Xiaochun, his accent sounded strange.

It was obviously coming from Southeast Road.

Bai Xiaochun looked at him and just listened to his words without saying anything.

That man was very talkative, rambling here and there, but not talking about the real thing.

Bai Xiaochun was also able to endure it.

No matter what the other party said, he listened without saying a word.

After a long time, when the man saw that Bai Xiaochun didn’t speak first no matter what, he finally couldn’t hold it in anymore and said: “Brother, I know the price of silk and porcelain and how much money they are worth. .

There are so many of you, so many ships, you can’t lose much at one time.

It’s really expensive for you to buy it.”

At this point, he sighed and shook his head.

When Bai Xiaochun saw this scene, a smile appeared on his face, and he slowly said: “Let me tell you the truth, Chu people are not the only ones in Nanyang who can speak Chu. I am not looking for you for this business, but you.” I’m looking for it.

My price is here, and it’s the same no matter who comes.

If you think it’s expensive, just don’t buy it, and you can go.”

At this point, there was no room for that person. Without even giving the man any face, he waved his hand and said, “Come, see your guests off!”

The man was stunned when he saw this scene.

Is there anyone doing this kind of business?

Doing business is not just about quoting a price. If you are not satisfied, add more or reduce some.

There is back and forth.

What does this mean?

That man was wondering if Bai Xiaochun was deceiving him.

There was already a boy standing next to him who came forward and said, “Please.”

When the man saw this scene, he believed that Bai Xiaochun had not deceived him.

So, he hurriedly said: “Captain Bai, we can still discuss this matter, discuss it!”

Bai Xiaochun took a sip of tea and said calmly: “My notice has made it very clear. The lowest price is so much, you can only have more, not less. To be honest, I didn’t expect anyone to lower the price. I’ll hurry up and get out of here while I’m in a good mood,

otherwise I won’t be so kind to you later

!

You left.”

When the man heard this, he opened his mouth and wanted to say something.

Bai Xiaochun’s expression changed, he looked at the boys and said fiercely: “What are you doing standing there? Why don’t you throw him out? Do you want me to break your legs?”

“Yes, Governor!”

Then When several servants heard this, they all trembled and hurriedly helped the man out of the attic.

Zuo Fei stood behind Bai Xiaochun, looking at the scene happening in front of him, he was dumbfounded.

He hesitated for a long time, and then said: “Manager Bai, this tea is only ten cents per tael on the Southeast Road. Even if you include the freight, the ship, the damage, etc., it is not worth even one tael.” Silver, right?

And this porcelain, a bowl like this costs at most one penny in Kyoto Prefecture, but it can’t be sold for more than a hundred penny now.”

When Bai Xiaochun heard this, he looked up at Zuo Fei and said lightly: ” If not, why did the young master ask me to wait until coming from Nanyang?”

Zuo Fei was stunned when he heard this, but he still didn’t understand what it meant.

Bai Xiaochun sighed and continued: “I waited until I came to Nanyang to earn money!”

“But” according to common sense, Zuo Fei shouldn’t ask so many questions.

After all, the young master set the tone for this matter, so the rest of the people have nothing to say.

But after a while, he will take over from Manager Bai, and no matter what, he needs to understand clearly.

Therefore, he still asked: “But the price is so expensive, can anyone buy it?”

After Bai Xiaochun arrived at Southeast Road, his temper gradually became louder. Like his young master, he was particularly annoyed by those who asked questions.

But he also knew that Zuo Fei was going to take over his job, so he answered very patiently: “How much money can you tell a good Longjing tea?”

Zuo Fei was not in charge of the household’s purchases. So I’m really not very clear about these things.

In addition, his family was not rich, so he hesitated and guessed: “It should be more than one tael of silver, right?”

“The worst thing is one tael of ten taels of silver!”

Bai Xiaochun looked at Zuo Fei and taught, “The young master said , demand determines the market, and the market determines the price. In Nanyang, the tea worth ten cents is the best Longjing, do you understand?”
