As He Jiaan's only villa still in his hands, Jinxiu Villa's recent business has not been so good. This is also related to He Jiaan's requirements for the villa. As his usual villa, He Jiaan does not want to call so many ordinary people. When there are too many guests, the environment of the villa will become a bit chaotic, and I am not short of the money, so I simply raise the price, just to serve some high-quality guests.

Although the business was not good, there were quite a few horse-drawn carriages in the villa. About a dozen or so horse-drawn carriages were dispatched at one time, carrying He Jiaan and his family to the most prosperous area of ​​Guangzhou City.

Chapter 1475 The Weird Merchant

No matter how beautiful the scenery is, it must be accompanied by delicious food. What's more, He Jiaan has been hungry for a long time. He drank so many bowls of wine last night, but he didn't even eat anything to fill his stomach. Carriage, he got into a restaurant on the side of the road.

I'm afraid even the waiter in the restaurant didn't expect that his business would be so good today, dozens of guests came at once, and the restaurant that was originally empty was immediately filled to the brim. All the private rooms upstairs were also booked up.

Having been with He Jiaan for a long time, these women have also developed a tricky taste, pointing to the menu in the restaurant and muttering for a long time, but in the end they only want a few bowls of the most ordinary plain noodles.

"This..." The shopkeeper looked at the menu in the small second-hand store with a confused face, and seemed to be a little disbelieving what was written on it. So many customers came and ordered more than 40 bowls of plain noodles. As for the lucrative meat, But only two discs are needed.

"Hey." The shopkeeper couldn't help but sighed, and complained in a low voice: "It's true that the richer you are, the more stingy you are. Even eating a bowl of plain noodles is a big deal."

Complaints belong to complaints, but the plain noodles still have to be made, and they were brought up after a short while, and the girls were quickly wiped out. Regardless of whether He Jiaan had finished eating, they rushed out under the leadership of Chen Yueying and started their meal. journey of curiosity.

It wasn't until after they left that He Jia'an's food was served. He greeted Tang Yi and Tang Jian and the others to sit down, and the three of them began to eat slowly.

Anyway, the time is still long, it doesn't matter how long they eat, so the three of them ate relatively slowly. About halfway through the meal, He Jiaan suddenly felt that someone was secretly watching him from the opposite side.

He Jiaan looked up, and sure enough, just two tables away, a man in his thirties was staring at him. When he saw him looking over, his eyes didn't mean to avoid him. After staying for a while, he actually took the initiative Walking to He Jiaan's desk, he cupped his hands with a smile and said, "This fellow, please be polite."

He Jiaan was embarrassed to drive him away, he stretched out his hand to beckon the man to sit down, and asked suspiciously: "This gentleman has been staring at me for so long, is there something wrong? "

"This..." The man paused, with a look of embarrassment on his face, then looked at Tang Yi and Tang Jian.

He Jiaan could see it clearly, but smiled slightly: "This is a family, if you have anything to say, it's okay to say it."

The man nodded and said with a smile: "I just saw that this member has so many family members, so he must be quite wealthy. That's right, I have a big deal and want to find a partner. I wonder if this member is interested?"

"Big deal?" He Jiaan was taken aback, blinked his eyes and asked, "What big deal?"

"This..." The man hesitated for a moment, moved his body forward, and whispered boldly: "I have a batch of things from the West that I want to sell, are you interested?"

"Hiss..." He Jiaan took a deep breath. These days, all goods from the West must be reported to the Shipbuilding Department, and basically spices and wood from the West are not worried about selling. It was sold out as soon as he got off the ship, why did he still have a batch?

Could it be... smuggled?

Thinking of this, He Jiaan couldn't help feeling a little vigilant in his heart, but his eyes hid the vigilance well, blinked, and asked curiously: "Is there anything you can show me? If the quality is good enough, maybe I can buy them all."

As expected, I was not mistaken, this man was indeed a full-fledged local rich man.

Don't look at the cheapest plain noodles they order, just look at the clothes these women wear, and you can recognize that these are expensive clothes. All restaurants were bought.

Therefore, I suddenly inquired about my idea, maybe the batch of goods in my hand could be sold at a better price.

Seeing that He Jiaan was interested in him, the smile on this man's face suddenly became brighter, and he said in a low voice: "I was in a hurry when I came out, and I didn't bring it with me. If you are interested, why don't you leave your address and wait a few days later?" Today I will bring the goods for you to see."

"That's right." He Jia'an nodded, and then said: "Well, I will stay in Guangzhou for a while. If you have any good things in your hand, bring them over and let me see them. As for money, it's easy to say , I live in Jinxiu Villa, after you get there, just ask a member named He."

"Okay, okay." The man smiled, saw He Jiaan bowed his head and started eating again, and he knew that he was issuing an order to evict customers, so he quickly smiled at He Jiaan, got up and left, and after paying the bill, he went out The door of the restaurant.

"Sir, do I need to go after him?" Tang Jian asked impatiently as soon as the man disappeared at the door.

"No need." He Jiaan shook his head, didn't even look in the direction of the door, and said calmly: "The man must be hiding in a corner and watching the door now, if you go out, you will be fooled by him. He will definitely not show up again, anyway, if he wants to sell what he has, he will definitely go to the villa to look for us, and it will not be too late to ask us later."

After Tang Jian heard it, he also felt that it made sense, so he no longer struggled with the problem of not getting out. After eating with his head down for a while, he suddenly asked: "Sir, what do you think he is selling?"

"This..." He Jiaan thought for a while, and said with some uncertainty: "It's nothing more than Western spices or something."

The three of them ate this meal for a long time before it ended. After going out, He Jiaan was dragged around by the girls for a long time. It was not until the sun had set that the girls got back into the carriage and returned to the villa, and listened to their wishes. , It seems that today's shopping is a bit unsatisfactory, so we will get up early tomorrow and continue shopping.

I have been tired for a day, and I really don't have the energy to accompany them. It happened that the mysterious businessman gave me an excellent excuse. When I heard that He Jiaan had an appointment with someone else, although the girls were disappointed, they were unwilling to hinder them. He Jiaan's business, after dinner, each went back to their own room and fell asleep deeply.

On the second day, the girls really left the villa early, and He Jiaan stayed alone in the room enjoying the rare quietness. Almost just after Chen Shi, Tang Jian walked over from the outside and said with a smile: "Sir, the man really came. He said his surname is Zhao."

"Whatever his surname is, let him bring the things in." He Jiaan closed the book in his hand and sat upright on the chair. Not long after, he saw the man from yesterday walking in accompanied by Tang Jian.

Yifu stared at the small building for a while as if he had never seen the world, and then flattered him: "He Yuanwai is indeed rich, and staying here for one night will cost a lot of money, right?"

"Not much." He Jiaan waved his hand casually, and smiled curiously: "Take out the things you brought, if there are good ones, I'll take them all."

Chapter 1476 I Want It All

Just based on the small building where He Jiaan lived, the businessman surnamed Zhao had all his doubts about him. He took out a small box from his pocket as if offering a treasure, opened it, put it in front of He Jiaan, and said with a smile: " He Yuanwai, please take a look."

He Jiaan reached out to pick up the small box, and after carefully identifying the contents, he snorted disdainfully, and threw it back casually: "It's just agarwood, what's so rare."

Uh……

The businessman surnamed Zhao did not expect this thing to be fooled, he smiled himself and said: "I know that I can't hide it from anyone outside, but outsiders know that this agarwood has been sold for four taels of silver a catty in the Daming market, but I Only this number is sold here."

After finishing speaking, the businessman surnamed Zhao stretched out a finger and gestured at He Jiaan.

Uh……

He Jiaan's interest suddenly became stronger again. You must know that the price of agarwood in the West is more than one tael, plus various round-trip fees. is the normal price.

But if he could get a tael of agarwood in Guangzhou, why would he go all the way to the West?

He Jiaan thought for a while, but was not in a hurry to express his opinion. His eyes fell on the pocket of the businessman surnamed Zhao, and he said lightly: "If there is anything else, let's take it out together."

"Hehe, Yuanwai He really does great things." The businessman surnamed Zhao stretched out his hand, and found another small box. He opened it and put it in front of He Jiaan: "This is instant incense, and the price is cheaper than agarwood. It only costs eight qian .”

The pocket of the businessman surnamed Zhao was like a treasure bag, and he took it out as soon as he stretched out his hand. What shocked He Jiaan was not the variety of these spices, but the low price of these spices. If a large number of such spices suddenly flood into the market, it will undoubtedly be a great blow to these spice merchants in Guangzhou, and even because of the existence of these low-priced spices, it will suppress all normal businesses.

At that time, everyone will pick up the smuggling business again, and the existence of the Shibo Division will immediately become a big joke.

If he doesn't want the system of the Shibo Department that he set up with his own hands to collapse, this person must not let him go, maybe his hands will be stained with bright red blood again.

Soon, the pockets of the businessman surnamed Zhao had bottomed out, but when it came to the last item, the businessman surnamed Zhao smiled mysteriously, and slowly took out something in his hand: "Mr. I have never seen this kind of thing in my hand, this kind of thing is not something that can be found in the West, but it comes from the distant Franji country, although the price is a bit expensive, but He Yuanwai will definitely think it is worth the money."

In He Jiaan's view, there is probably nothing in this world that is worth making a fuss about, but when the businessman surnamed Zhao spread his hand to reveal the thing in his hand, He Jiaan, who has always been calm, turned pale. Changed, and said involuntarily: "Mirror? How do you have it?"

"Uh...?" I thought that what I took out would be a big killer, but I didn't expect He Jiaan to recognize what it was in his hand at a glance. Amazing, even the foreign gadgets of Franji can be recognized, admiration."

Don't say anything about admiration or not, He Jia'an reached out and took the mirror over, and looked it over carefully. The square mirror in his hand was not much different from what later generations saw, but the size was smaller than what he remembered. some.

After carefully looking at it, He Jiaan handed the mirror back, and asked lightly: "The price of spices remains the same, and on the premise of ensuring the quality, I want as much as I have, but this mirror...how much do you plan to sell?" ?”

Sure enough, he was a big businessman, and he was bold in his actions. He didn't even ask how many goods he had in his hand, and he ate all the goods in one go. The businessman surnamed Zhao's eyes lit up, and after thinking about it, he stretched out two fingers and said, "A mirror 20 Two silver."

Buying this mirror for 20 taels of silver would be unimaginable in a few hundred years, but at present, this is a hesitant price.
