The Prodigal Son of the Empire

Hearing this, Wang Kang's eyes lit up. This Liu Shan reacted very quickly. He came to the door so quickly. It seems that his strategy has worked, and the old guy is in a hurry.

"Practice hard, and I'll come to you again when the oiran election starts." Wang Kang told Li Qingman and the others, and then went downstairs.

As soon as he reached the stairs, he saw Liu Shan sitting downstairs alone.

Seeing Wang Kang, Liu Shan stood up and said, "Young Master Kang is really generous. He bought an inn called Jinwu Zangjiao."

"Where is the head of the Liu family?" Wang Kang greeted him, "That's why the recent expenses are too high, and the housekeeper Wu at the house refused to give me money on the grounds that my father is not there. Now, the repair of my brothel is about to stop. gone."

"Oh?" After hearing this, Liu Shan's eyes lit up, his prediction was indeed correct, it seemed that he had found the right way.

"That's a coincidence, Liu came here today to give money to Young Master Kang!" Liu Shan said with a smile.

"Are you inviting me to your gambling house? It just so happens that my hands are itchy again these days." Wang Kangmin glanced at Liu Shan and said indifferently.

"You..." Liu Shan's complexion changed. Wang Kang won more than 2 gold coins from Liu's gambling house that day, which made him have to ask the Jinyu Chamber of Commerce for a loan.

Now that Wang Kang's old story is brought up again, this is a slap in the face. Liu Shan took a deep breath, the most important thing is to buy plain weaving first.

Use your family's plain weaving, use your recipe to dye purple silk to suppress your Earl's Mansion, can there be a better way of revenge than this?

Liu Shan thought about it and said: "Master Kang was joking, I can't let you, a Bodhisattva, sit in the small temple of the Liu family gambling house, so let me just say it directly, I want to buy a batch of vegetables from Young Master Kang." weave."

"If you don't go to my cloth shop to buy plain silk, why do you want me? I don't care about it." Wang Kang looked at Liu Shan strangely.

He didn't dare to agree directly, if he agreed too quickly, he might make the old fox Liu Shan suspicious, so he could only act with him.

"Haha, Young Master Kang is the only son of Uncle Fuyang. After all, those cloth estates are not yours. As long as you let go, who dares to refuse."

Liu Shan smiled and said, "I didn't know that Young Master Kang was short of money and came here to find you."

"I wonder how much you want to buy?"

Wang Kang asked pretendingly.

"Eight hundred bolts of silk, and all of them are jacquard fabrics!" Liu Shan said in a deep voice.

This old guy really has a big appetite, and Wang Kang was also taken aback.

In ancient times, at least two workers were required to make a bolt of plain silk for five days.If it is a jacquard fabric, four workers are required to operate one loom at the same time, such as Shu brocade, and this does not include preparation processes such as warp drawing and weft winding.

With such a complicated labor cost, plus the cost of silk, the market price of a piece of pure white silk is worth three gold coins, and it is doubled if it is a jacquard fabric.

Silk has always been a luxury item in ancient times, and all those who can really wear it are officials, merchants and wealthy businessmen. You must know that the raw material silk is known as soft gold.

It seems that Liushan is going to put all his money into a big fight, but this is the best, buy my silk, and use my fake recipe to dye it into waste cloth!

This time, I will make you lose everything!

Chapter 57 One is willing to buy and the other is willing to sell

"You actually want to buy so much? What are you going to do? Do you want to open a cloth shop?" Wang Kang's eyes flashed, and he asked pretending to be surprised.

"Haha, Young Master Kang, don't make a fuss. It's just a small business. It's incomparable to your Fuyang cloth village!" Liu Shan said with a smile.

"Eight hundred bolts of silk, how much does it cost to have jacquard?" Wang Kang continued to act stupidly.

"That's why I said I sent money to you, Young Master Kang!" Liu Shan enticed.

"The sale and purchase of such a large piece of jacquard silk is also a big deal for you Fuyang cloth shop. If it is done by you, others will definitely take a high look."

"But... as far as I know, the relationship between our two families is not very good, and your son, including you, is also hostile to me," Wang Kang said again, touching Liu Shan.

"Business is all about profit, so what are these things?" Liu Shan waved his hand.

"The most important thing is money!"

"Then what price are you going to buy?" Wang Kang pretended to be interested and asked,

"Master Kang, I want to buy so many, so it should be cheaper, how about paying three gold coins per horse?" Liu Shan asked tentatively.

Hearing this, Wang Kang rolled his eyes, and Liu Shan just took him for a fool, three gold coins is the price of plain weaving, but jacquard has to be doubled, the market price is six gold coins per horse.

This willow mountain was cut in half.

"Patriarch Liu, you really think of me, Wang Kang, as a fool. My family is in the silk business. Even if I am not good enough, I can still know the price of jacquard silk by ear. This is too much of you,"

After thinking about it, Wang Kang said again: "If Patriarch Liu just wants to discuss business with me, then forget it!"

"No, Young Master Kang, don't worry, how about a batch of hardware coins like this? It's one gold coin lower than the market price," Liu Shan said in a deep voice.

"No!" Wang Kang shook his head and said, "Ten gold coins a horse!"

"Ten gold coins?" Liu Shan exclaimed, this prodigal son is like a lion.

"The market price is only six gold coins a horse, and Young Master Kang actually offered a price of ten gold coins. It's a joke." Liu Shan waved his hand, looking displeased.

"I'm not joking! You must be aware of the relationship between your Liu family and the Earl's Mansion. To be honest, no matter how high the price you ask, I'm afraid I, Fuyang Cloth Village, will not sell it to you. That's why you came to me!"

Wang Kang smiled and said, "I have to raise a high price, so that I can be convincing, isn't it?"

"But the price is too high!" Liu Shan showed a look of embarrassment, but he didn't doubt it.

Because what Wang Kang said was the truth, with the relationship between the two families, Fuyang Buzhuang would never do business with the Liu family, and it was normal for Wang Kang to have such thoughts.

"Ten gold coins a horse, this business will be done, otherwise it will be pulled!" Wang Kang finally said, he wanted to put some pressure on the old fox.

"No talk?" Liu Shan asked.

"Yes, there is no need to talk about selling silk to your Liu family. I will be under a lot of pressure and must make up for it with money!" Wang Kang said firmly.

This prodigal son became shrewd when it came to money.

Liu Shan's complexion was cloudy and uncertain, the original intention was to make it cheaper, but now it is fully twice as high as the market price.

what to do?Liu Shan tapped his fingers on the table, he was thinking.

Time waits for no one, and other small vendors can't buy it now. If you buy it from outside Yangzhou City, the transportation alone will delay too much time...

buy it!Although it is a bit more expensive, as long as the purple silk is dyed and sold, and the price is several times higher with that color, people will buy it.

Then you will still make money!Liu Shan made a decision!

"When can I get the goods?"

Liu Shan asked.
