Second Master Xue of the Red Chamber has space

Chapter 94 I bought it!
Xue Yi was also surprised and speechless, thinking that if I had known Wu Shuxuan earlier, why would I have to go all the way to Fengtian when I was looking for building materials?The inventory here alone is enough to complete ten domestic missions.

"Master Wu, this..."

Wu Shuxuan said with embarrassment: "It's just that I dote on my little girl too much. When collecting building materials, I actually encountered many good goods, so I collected more and more. It's just that other goods in the warehouse have been sold well these years. Only building materials No one cares about it here, I heard that Brother Wen Yan is an imperial merchant and needs these from time to time, if you can, move them all away, this is also just to make room for my warehouse."

No, isn't the Suzhou generation the place where gardens emerged?Many rich families should need these things, so how come no one cares about them?

The one closest to Xue Yi was a pile of wood piled up like a mountain. He checked it more carefully with suspicion, and after only recognizing one or two items in the pile of wood, Xue Yi had already found it. answer to the question.

Meow, it's not that no one needs it, no one asks, but that either no one knows the goods, or they know them but can't afford them.

how?
In this pile of wood, the usual camphor, elm, birch, pine, fir, etc. are missing. Most of them are imported from overseas. Mulberry and cypress should be produced in Japan, and others such as rosewood, chicken wings, and yellow rosewood. , Xue Yi was not sure where these came from, but he knew at a glance that these were all top quality.

There were also some pieces of wood that even Xue Yi didn't recognize. There was one type of wood that was extremely hard and piled up into mountains, which Xue Yi couldn't put down.

Wu Shuxuan came up and explained: "This kind of wood is called 樯木, which comes from the Iron Net Mountain in Huanghai. It is very hard and is often used as a boat. It's a pity that there are only so few of them. I want to use it to make a boat. The boat is not enough. However, if this wood is used to make a coffin, it will be safe for thousands of years, and it is a rare good thing.”

The corners of Xue Yi's mouth twitched when he heard this, Brother, do you call this whole log that is nine feet (about 30 meters) high too little?Not enough for a boat?How big a boat do you want to be?Why don't you go to heaven?
It's just wood, and the members of Xue's family were dumbfounded, and Xue Yi's original intention to buy it has also diminished a little at this time.

He wanted to buy so many good things, but he didn't know how much these things were worth, could he afford them?If the price is right, how much can he buy?
Seeing Xue Yi's solemn expression, Wu Shuxuan asked in confusion, "Brother Wen Yan, what's wrong? Could it be that these things are not suitable for use?"

Xue Yi hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, you have all the rare and good things here. If these are not suitable for use, what else are they suitable for? Many of them are imported from overseas by the royal family. Royal families like our Xue family Shang has never even met him before, so how can he say badly?"

"Since it's good, why is brother Wen Yan frowning?"

Xue Yi sighed in his heart, this was one of the few special circumstances that he had been in the business for many years - he was not sure about the price of the goods.

He was in a weak position when talking about business in this situation. Just like facing the White Mountain Eagle who had an absolute advantage in force, all deceptions seemed pale and he had to tell the truth.

"Hey, it's not because these things are so good, I can't calculate the value of the goods for a while, how can we talk about business?"

When Wu Shuxuan heard that it was because of this, he burst out laughing.

"What's so difficult about this? Brother Wen Yan can just give me a round number for these things based on the prices of ordinary building materials on the market. There's no need to be embarrassed about this."

Xue Yi felt uncomfortable after hearing this: "How can this be done? These things are rare treasures. It is rare that Brother Wu is willing to sell them. It has already given me a great face. Now how can I take advantage of this price? ? Absolutely not, there is no reason to do business like this.”

In fact, Wu Shuxuan's conditions are really tempting. If Xue Yi can buy such a batch of high-quality goods at the market price of ordinary building materials and move them to the capital, the profit will be huge. It will only be good for the Xue family and not bad. of.

But business is really not like this. The Wu family is rich, but Xue Yi is not a beggar, so why feel sorry for him?
Wu Shuxuan explained: "Actually, the price of these building materials was not as expensive as imagined when they were received. Brother Wen Yan knows the goods, so he probably can tell that many of them are imported products, right? How do those foreign businessmen know that we are here? Market price? These pieces of wood are not easy to sell in our market. After all, there are few people who know the goods. Everyone is afraid that spending money to buy them back will not be suitable and will waste silver. Therefore, except for those high-quality goods, other imported products will not cost much. The average price of this pile is about the same as other common building materials on the market, so I won’t lose money if I sell it to you like this.”

Xue Yi was a little tempted: "Really?"

Wu Shuxuan nodded: "Of course it is true. It's just that you'd better buy all these things. I don't want to go to the trouble of selling a small part at a time. If that's the case, I've already opened a position and sold it to retail investors, and I don't have to wait until Now."

If it is the price of ordinary building materials, Xue Yi can actually afford the hills in Wu’s freight yard, but in this way, all the money that can be used on Xue’s account will be spent here, Xue Yi seems to be Some hesitation.

At this juncture, it was not Mr. Wu, the owner of the goods, who was anxious, but Xue Hong, the second son of the Xue family.

From just now, Xue Hong's eyes have been fixed on this pile of wood. There are red sandalwood, chicken wings, agarwood, and even huanghuali. The purchase price is only the price of ordinary building materials. what?

Those precious woods are not used to make houses, and they can be dragged back enough to make a whole house of furniture. The leftovers can be made into articles by skilled craftsmen, and even sawdust is the most hard-won raw material for making spices.

Not counting the pile of high-quality stones, such as Shoushan stone and granite, how much silver can be produced from the inside and outside of this wood alone?Suddenly it occurred to me that the construction of the Yuanmingyuan, which was built for the fourth elder brother Yinzhen at a huge expense, had not yet started. At that time, how much money could be earned by selling the good things bought at a low price to Mr. Kangxi?

Why is his stupid father still there in a daze?

"Father!"

Xue Hong couldn't bear it any longer, pulled her father aside and whispered everything he thought just now, except for the matter of the Old Summer Palace, which was mentioned in a hidden way, and the other benefits were actually endless.

So Xue Yi stomped his feet cruelly, and said, "Okay, I bought it!"
