The whole mountain is my hunting ground

Zhao Jun and his crew brought a lot of goods on this trip, but there were only four valuable items: the golden bear gall that Zhao Jun sewed into his cotton-padded jacket, the albino sable skin, the leopard skin, and the leopard skin quilt.

Golden bear gall is not sold here, but albino sable fur has buyers, and the remaining two items are related to leopard fur.

It can also be said that Zhao Jun came to Xinji today just to see how he could find a buyer for the leopard skin and leopard skin quilt.

There is no need to worry about the price, as Li Ruhai is there to back it up. The key is that we lack a buyer.

Wen Hongchang was quite rich, so rich that he had enough money to buy a coat made of albino sable fur. But when they met at Zhao Weipeng's house last time, Zhao Jun asked Wen Hongchang about the price of leopard fur.

But when Wen Hongchang said that leopard skins were worthless, Zhao Jun didn't say anything. After all, a gimmick like "wait and get rich" can only be sold to people who believe it.

Therefore, when Zhao Jun brought the things this time, he had no intention of selling the leopard skin to Wen Hongchang at all.

Seeing the sign hanging at the stairs at this time, Zhao Jun had a vague feeling that the so-called high price for buying leopard skins was just for the purpose of waiting to get rich.

"Uncle." Zhao Jun called Zhao Weipeng, then raised his hand to indicate that he wanted to take a look around this floor.

Zhao Weipeng nodded, holding his bag and followed Zhao Jun to the left. The stairwell was not very big, and there was an archway after just two steps.

After entering through the archway, there is a road in front of you. The road is paved with tiles and there are stalls on both sides of the road.

There are rows of fur coats on the stalls on both sides. These coats are hung on wooden hangers. The first one is gray and is made of gray fox fur.

To the right is a white fox fur coat, and further over there are various coats made of squirrel fur, raccoon fur, and rabbit fur.

There was a gap in the middle of a row of coats, revealing the stall behind. On the stall, there were all kinds of fur jackets, waistcoats, hats, scarves, gloves...

"Hey?" Zhao Jinhui saw a white rabbit fur coat and asked the stall owner, "Is there anything I can wear?"

The stall owner didn't even hesitate, and shook his head and said, "No."

Zhao Jinhui was startled, pointed at the white fox fur coat, and asked the stall owner, "What about this one?"

This little fat guy doesn't care about his appearance and only wears white clothes.

"That's not available either." The stall owner shook his head again and said, "The gray ones are not available, right?"

"No." Zhao Jinhui shook his head and refused. Then he looked at the coat hanging behind the stall owner and pointed at it and asked, "Can I wear that?"

"Yes!" The stall owner turned around and said with a look of joy on his face, "It's mink fur, it's a really nice piece of clothing."

Nonsense, mink fur is not good, and the money is also good.

Nowadays, an ordinary mink fur will cost at least tens of thousands of dollars!

"Get out of my way." Zhao Weipeng pushed his son away, waved at the stall owner, and said, "Take that down, let me try."

As he spoke, Zhao Weipeng handed the bag he was holding to Zhao Jinhui.

Twenty or thirty years later, there is a saying in Northeast China: the poor wear mink, the rich wear cotton, and the wealthy wear casual clothes.

But at that time, artificial mink was produced every two years. Mink coats were everywhere. During the two years when the capital hosted the Olympics, the bus drivers running to the countryside in Northeast China, before the implementation of unmanned ticket sales, all wore mink coats.

Not now, mink fur is too expensive. This coat is not something that ordinary people can afford.

Seeing Zhao Weipeng's fat body, the stall owner turned around and took off his coat without saying a word.

While Zhao Weipeng was trying on the coat, Zhao Jun and others were looking at other clothing on the stall.

"Let me see this waistcoat." Li Baoyu picked up a waistcoat made of white rabbit fur and asked the stall owner, "How much is this?"

"Eighty!" When the stall owner was quoting the price, Li Baoyu's left arm was held down by Zhang Yuanmin and his right arm was held down by Zhao Jun.

Li Baoyu understood immediately that his two brothers did not allow him to buy it.

Li Baoyu was right. Zhang Yuanmin didn't let him buy it because he thought the waistcoat was not worth eighty yuan. A piece of clothing made of rag-and-bone cat fur, and he still wanted eighty yuan?

Pheasants and hares are not worth much, and you can buy three rabbits for one dollar. How many rabbits can you buy with 80 yuan in the forest area?

Zhao Jun stopped Li Baoyu because he knew that clothes made of rabbit fur would shed.

The stall owner's attention was not on Zhao Jun, Zhang Yuanmin, and Li Baoyu. At this moment, his eyes were fixed on Zhao Weipeng.

He has been doing business for many years and has his own way of judging people. Seeing the bulky cotton-padded jackets on Zhao Jun and his friends, the stall owner concluded that these people must have come from the Northeast.

At this time, Li Ruhai didn't know that he was already mentally retarded in the eyes of the stall owner. He put his hands behind his back, bent over and looked at the things on the stall, and then shook his head from time to time, smacked his lips.

"How much does this dress cost?" Zhao Weipeng stood in front of a full-length mirror, twisting his waist which was as big as a water tank.

"Sixty-eight thousand." The stall owner said, "If you really want to buy it, you can take it for sixty-five thousand."

After hearing the stall owner's offer, Zhao Weipeng stopped being embarrassed and turned around to ask, "Forty thousand."

"That won't work!" The stall owner immediately changed his expression and said, "I can't even get any goods in!"

Zhao Weipeng is big, so a fur coat like this that covers half of his butt requires quite a few sable skins. If all the skins were from female sables, it would require 40.

Zhao Jun collected forty female sable skins in the mountains, and they cost him forty thousand yuan.

It would be strange if the stall owner agreed.

"Then I'll give you another 2,000?" Zhao Weipeng asked. The stall owner waved his hands and said, "Take it off for me now."

Zhao Weipeng smiled, took off his coat, and asked the stall owner, "Hey, brother, I saw it written on the stairs, you sell leopard skins?"

As he spoke, Zhao Weipeng looked up and asked, "Is it collected on your floor or upstairs?"

As soon as Zhao Weipeng said this, the stall owner, who had not been very happy just now, changed his expression and asked: "Do you have it?"

After asking this question, he didn't wait for Zhao Weipeng to answer, and immediately asked: "If you have any, I'll take it."

"You buy it?" Zhao Weipeng looked around his stall and asked, "Aren't you selling ready-made clothes?"

"That's not a conflict." As the stall owner spoke, he glanced at Zhao Jun and his men and asked, "Do you have leopard skins?"

"What's your price?" Zhao Jun asked instead of answering. The stall owner had just finished hanging up the mink coats. He turned around and took another look at the thick cotton-padded jacket on Zhao Jun before asking, "You want to sell the skin of the Siberian leopard, right?"

"Ah!" Zhao Jun nodded, and then asked, "Isn't the Northeast Leopard the Golden Leopard?"

"Yes." The stall owner nodded, but he immediately added: "The Amur leopard is a golden leopard, but golden leopards are not just Amur leopards."

"Ah?" Zhao Jun was stunned, and then he heard the stall owner say: "The leopards in our Yanshan Mountains and the Taihang Mountains to the south are also called golden leopards. And the leopards in Yunnan are also called golden leopards."

"Ah..." Zhao Jun has really not done any research on leopards from other regions.

At this time, the stall owner added: "The leopards here are bigger than those in your Northeast."

"Bigger than ours?" Zhang Yuanmin looked incredulous and said, "Aren't the black bears and tiger cubs bigger than ours?"

"It's not a leopard." The stall owner laughed and said, "The largest leopard you have there weighs only a hundred pounds, right?"

The stall owner asked this, Zhang Yuanmin nodded, and then he heard the stall owner say: "The female leopards in our Yanshan Mountains can weigh up to 100 kilograms. The males can weigh up to 150 or 180 kilograms. The leopards in Taihang Mountains are even bigger than those in our Yanshan Mountains, and the largest can weigh up to 200 kilograms."

"Really? Is it fake?" Li Baoyu asked. The stall owner nodded and said, "It's true, but they sell it locally. Very few of them sell it to us."

There are four major leather capitals in China. If they are fighting over there, just sell them nearby.

"How much do you charge for the leopard skins from Yanshan?" Zhao Jun asked. "How much is one?"

"Twenty thousand for public sale!" The stall owner looked very serious when quoting the price, as if it was quite high.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

After quoting this price, the stall owner immediately added: "This price is for those without major injuries, and there can't be bullet holes on the body."

"Ah..." Hearing this price, Zhao Jun glanced at his men. Zhang Yuanmin, Li Baoyu, and Jie Chen all looked at him, but Li Ruhai still looked arrogant.

Seeing that Zhao Jun and the others were silent, the stall owner took the initiative to say, "The leopards in your Northeast are small, and their skins are relatively small as well. But it's cold in your Northeast, so the quality of the animal fur is good, and the price can be raised. For the skin of a male leopard like the one I just mentioned, without any bullet holes, I charge 16,000 yuan."

When "Zhao Erdong" sold the leopard skin to Zheng Xuekun, he sold it for 16,000 yuan. But after it came into Zheng Xuekun's hands, he doubled the price with the gimmick of "waiting to get rich".

Therefore, sixteen thousand could not satisfy the appetite of the Zhao army at all.

When Zhao Jun saw the sign hanging at the staircase, he felt that someone wanted to "wait and get rich". But when he heard the price offered by the stall owner, Zhao Jun felt that this was just a normal fur business.

"Master." Zhao Jun tried to get the stall owner to talk, "You buy these leopard skins, are you also going to make clothes, scarves, etc.?"

"This is not it." The stall owner shook his head and said, "This kind of leather is rarely available, and those that are available are all exported. Overseas, wealthy foreigners use it to make carpets and blankets."

"Carpet? What is that?" This was asked by Jie Chen. Carpets are rarely used in the Northeast, let alone in rural areas and forest areas.

"They lay them on the ground." Zhao Weipeng said so, but the stall owner smiled and said, "They make carpets out of leopard skins, just like toys, and they collect them."

Hearing the stall owner's words, Zhao Jun nodded and asked, "Master, do you buy other skins? Mink skins? Fox skins?"

"No," the stall owner shook his head, but Zhao Jun said, "I won't accept anything else, only leopard skins."

"Ah!" The stall owner realized something at this time. He just responded and didn't say any extra words.

"Then you can just collect them normally, why do you need to put up a sign?" Zhao Jun asked again, and the stall owner replied evasively: "Ah, I... I am collecting them for a friend."

After saying this, the stall owner did not give Zhao Jun a chance to ask more questions, and asked Zhao Jun directly: "Do you have any leopard skin?"

"Ah, haha..." Zhao Jun smiled when he heard that and said, "Thank you, Master. I'll walk around a bit more and have a look."

As he spoke, Zhao Jun made a gesture and several people around him turned around and left.

"Hey? Hey!" Seeing this, the stall owner hurriedly stopped him and said, "If you want to sell it, I can give you an extra 500... 1,000 at most! 1,000 is not enough?"

Not to mention adding a thousand, even if he added ten thousand, Zhao Jun would not consider it. He led his people inside, and there were still many stalls upstairs.

The fur market has a total of five floors. The first four floors, the first and fourth floors, are filled with finished fur clothing and apparel, while the second and third floors are filled with unprocessed fur.

In comparison, the goods on the fourth floor are of a much higher quality than those on the first floor, and the corresponding prices are also higher. But even so, there are still many people buying and selling things on the fourth floor.

As they walked, they realized that Zhang Yuanmin and Li Ruhai were missing from Zhao Jun's group. The two men were sent out by Zhao Jun to gather information.

After sending out capable generals, the Zhao army was neither anxious nor panicked. They walked and watched the excitement.

When they finished walking around the fourth floor and were walking out, Zhang Yuanmin and Li Ruhai had joined the team.

Zhang Yuanmin didn't seem to have gained anything, but Li Ruhai leaned close to Zhao Jun's ear and whispered, "Brother, I found out."

"Yeah." Zhao Jun spoke with his nose, responding in a very leadership style.

"They said that there was an administrator named Zhang in this big market." Li Ruhai continued in a low voice: "On the eighth day of the first lunar month, these stalls were open for business, and the administrator told them to collect leopard skins. He said he would take as many as he could get."

"Okay, I understand." Zhao Jun patted Li Ruhai on the shoulder and said, "Well done."

Li Ruhai grinned, glanced at Zhang Yuanmin, Li Baoyu and Jie Chen, and then followed closely behind Zhao Jun.

"Uncle." Zhao Jun called Zhao Weipeng, and then whispered to Zhao Weipeng the news that Li Ruhai had found out.

Then, Zhao Jun said to Zhao Weipeng, "Uncle, do you know anyone here? If so, can he help contact that Zhang?"

Zhao Jun wanted to bypass the middleman, but Zhao Weipeng frowned when he heard it and said, "Jun, you have to see if there is anyone in the market who buys it for him. If there is, he won't buy yours, right?"

Zhao Jun heard this and knew it was true. Zhang, who was in charge of such a big market, would never buy leather for 16,000 yuan, and he would never buy it at Zhao Jun's high price.

"Ruhai!" Zhao Jun called out to the back, and Li Ruhai hurried forward and said, "Brother, you give the order."

Hearing Zhao Jun calling Li Ruhai, Zhang Yuanmin hurried over.

"Go and ask around," Zhao Jun said to Li Ruhai. "Ask around in this big market and see if they've been buying leopard skins since the eighth day of the first lunar month. If they have, how many have they bought?"

"Oh, I got it, big brother." Li Ruhai responded, and then he heard Zhang Yuanmin say, "I'll go too."

"Then you go ahead." Zhao Weipeng waved to Zhang Yuanmin and Li Ruhai and said, "Let's go upstairs and take a look."

After saying this, Zhao Weipeng said to Zhao Jun: "The people upstairs are all selling second-hand goods."

"The leather from the other side of the road?" Zhao Jun curiously followed Zhao Weipeng upstairs, and Li Baoyu and others followed.

After going up to the fifth floor, Zhao Jun found that there were not many people there. As Zhao Weipeng said, the leather sold on this floor was special.

Black fox skin, white sika deer skin, white lynx skin, crocodile skin... Zhao Jun and his friends found these quite fresh and interesting.

Suddenly, Zhao Jun saw a leopard skin.

The fur of this leopard skin is white. Zhao Jun, who has seen many leopard skins, felt at first glance that this skin is different from all the leopard skins he has handled.

"Hey?" Zhao Weipeng also saw the leopard skin and asked immediately, "Isn't there a leopard skin here?"

As soon as Zhao Weipeng finished speaking, he heard the stall owner say, "This is not leopard skin, this is snow leopard skin."

"Ah?" Zhao Jun was startled, and suddenly heard Jie Chen say to him: "Brother Jun, look, is that Boss Wen?"

I will make up for what I owed you two days ago starting tomorrow.
