If you want to be big and strong in the pawnshop business, you must be well-informed. Otherwise, how can you bargain with customers on pricing?
Especially for large pawnshops like Dehengdang, they can immediately grasp what is valuable, what is popular, what is devalued, and what is out of date in Nanjing.
¡°The white sugar in Zhang Yuanwai¡¯s hand was the result of the fact that he had eaten a large amount of high-quality Western sugar at Tang Ji Nan Goods Store on Gulouwai Street the day before yesterday, so he hurriedly asked someone to buy a copy and come back to see what happened.
It¡¯s just that this thing is really expensive. Although the box is not small and the packaging is very exquisite, there are only three taels of candy in total, so I dare to sell it for ten taels of silver per box!
If it were not for professional needs, Zhang Yuanwai would never buy such a cheating thing. But once he got his hands on it and studied it, he had to admit that this thing was expensive for a reason.
"Compared with frosting, this white sugar is crystal clear, looks better, and tastes far better than the former. Tang Youde also gave it a nickname of 'frost into snow'.
Frost condenses into snow, as the name suggests, it is like refining icing sugar. It is more expensive than icing sugar, which is reasonable.
Based on Zhang Yuanwai¡¯s understanding of the mentality of those big business owners in Jinling City who pursue novelty and like to compare, he knew that this thing would definitely sell well.
??~~
Deheng is in the elegant room.
Zhang Yuanwai suppressed his surprise, pointed at the bag of candy and asked, "Did you buy this frosty snow from Tangji?"
¡®Frost turns into snow? what? ¡¯ Zhao Shouzheng muttered secretly, but followed Zhao Hao¡¯s instructions and said: ¡°I didn¡¯t buy it, it¡¯s from my own family.¡±
"Brother Yu, don't bother entertaining Brother Fool." Zhang Yuanwai sneered, "Brother Fool is not ignorant, he has never seen this kind of Western candy in Ming Dynasty!"
"I really made it myself." Zhao Shouzheng said honestly: "Then he sold it to Tang Youde."
With that said, he handed the delivery document to Zhang Yuanwai.
Zhang Yuanwai took it over with suspicion and was shocked. The deed clearly stated that Zhao Shouzheng sold thirty kilograms of white sugar to Tang Ji for five hundred taels of silver, and both money and goods were paid. Underneath are the seals of Tang Youde and Tang Ji, as well as the seals of Zhao Shouzheng.
"It's true, he sold it to Tang Ji" Chao Feng whispered in Zhang Yuanwai's ear: "The sea transportation is cut off. Even if there is Western candy coming in, little Tang Ji can't get his hands on it. Villain I also asked several companies that supply Tang Kee, but they all denied that this kind of candy has not arrived at all!"
"Yes." Zhang Yuanwai nodded imperceptibly, looked deeply at Zhao Shouzheng, and asked in a deep voice: "I will charge as much of this candy as Tang Ji gives you!"
¡°That¡¯s it, we sold it all to Boss Tang.¡± Zhao Shouzheng told the truth, very naturally.
When Zhang Yuanwai heard this, he couldn't help but said coldly: "Is that just to entertain me?"
"Didn't I tell you?" Zhao Shouzheng said with wide eyes, "This candy is made by my family. I have the recipe for making sugar!"
"Really?" Zhang Yuanwai's eyes suddenly lit up.
"My father gave the Yin Guan to my brother and gave this recipe to me. I was not short of money before, so I kept it under the bookcase." Zhao Shouzheng read from the book and took out the envelope and said, "This is my father and son. It¡¯s time to turn around and build a foundation for your life.¡±
"As he spoke, he took out half of the prescription filled with words and waved it in front of Zhang Yuanwai.
Zhao Shouzheng has this advantage. He knows that his thinking about problems is always incomplete, so he will not make his own decisions and always strictly follow Zhao Hao's instructions.
Zhang Yuanwai wished he could have hooks in his eyes and hook the prescription into his hand.
He couldn't help but swallowed hard and said: "Isn't this a Western product given to the boss by someone?"
Zhao Shouzheng spread his hands and said sincerely: "I don't know if my family had this kind of candy before. Others don't know. Brother Shi doesn't know?"
"That's true" The Zhao family's frivolous wealth was all taken over by Deheng. The goat-bearded Chaofeng led hundreds of men, plowing the ground, turning the Zhao family inside and out, and indeed found nothing. This white sugar.
"Then how much would you pay for this prescription?" Zhang Yuanwai asked tentatively.
"This was passed down from my father to me. I dare not sell it without his permission." As Zhao Shouzheng spoke, he stuffed the prescription back into the envelope.
"Why do you want to be a recipe maker? Why don't you make a lot of money by making sugar yourself?" Zhang Yuanwai encouraged Zhao Shouzheng again, saying that if you don't sell it, I can get the recipe by partnering with you.
"Oh, don't mention it. I only sold the candy once and it attracted thieves." Zhao Shouzheng said with a lingering fear on his face: "If I continue to make money, I'm afraid I will lose my life. It's better to wait until I win the election and have some support. It¡¯s never too late to make further calculations.¡±
??The beauty of Zhao Hao's design is that nine points are true and one point is false. It not only allows Zhao Shouzheng to easily remember the routine without making mistakes, but also prevents the other party from becoming suspicious.
??~~
Zhang Yuanwai did not doubt that he had it, and Xianxin and Na Chaofeng winked at each other, obviously not believing that Zhao Shouzheng could win the election.
"Well, starting a business is quite expensive. You have to buy a new property, hire servants, and in the future you will inevitably open a sugar factory. You can't even get a few hundred taels of silver out of it." Zhao Shouzheng rambled on and explained his purpose: "So this time I want to treat it as a living brother and redeem it after half a year."
Zhang Yuanwai was overjoyed. He looked at Zhao Shouzheng calmly and said, "How much do you want to be?"
Zhao Shouzheng gritted his teeth and said, "I want ten thousand taels."
Zhang Yuanwai thought for a moment after hearing this, and then showed a disapproving smile and said: "Brother, you are joking, you want to get 10,000 taels of silver from me just based on this piece of paper whose authenticity cannot be verified? Do you think my money is Isn¡¯t it caused by the strong wind?¡±
Zhao Hao didn¡¯t teach Zhao Shouzheng what to say in this paragraph. He only told him the base price and let him do the rest freely.
This is a real hardship for Mr. Zhao. Letting someone like him bargain is even more uncomfortable than killing him.
Then I heard Zhao Shouzheng say: "Then there are always eight thousand taels, but for one tael of silver and one tael of sugar, this recipe is worth at least 20,000 taels!"
However, Zhang Yuanwai shook his head decisively and said: "In Brother Yu's profession, Chaofeng will not touch such things as secret recipes."
"That's right." The goatee-bearded Chaofeng also echoed from the side: "The secret recipe is no longer a secret recipe when people see it, so it can't be tested a priori. So even if the store takes one or two to save face, it will be based on Extremely low price, I got it from the wealthy store owner.¡±
"Ah, that's it" Zhao Shouzheng stood up in disappointment and said to himself, son, you guessed wrong now, they won't accept this recipe at all.
Seeing that Zhao Shouzheng believed the truth, Chao Feng thought that he would be self-defeating, and hurriedly asked Zhang Yuanwai: "What do you mean by my boss?"
"My brother has already spoken, can I let him go back empty-handed?" Zhang Yuanwai cooperated with him tacitly and immediately rounded up the conversation. "Business is nothing more than favors, do you understand?"
"Yes, yes, my boss taught me a lesson." Chao Feng was taught a lesson for a while, and then he pulled Zhao Shouzheng and said, "Second Master Zhao is so lucky. Having a friend like my boss who generously solves problems is really enviable to me."
"That's it, that's it." Zhao Shouzheng said to himself, my son is really clever, they really stopped me.
Now he felt at ease and said more freely: "How much money will Brother Shi be willing to pay?"
Zhang Yuanwai stretched out two fingers again.
