Daming 1805

Chapter 296
Aoxue parked her car and entered the store, a man-eating guy came up to her, and stopped Aoxue who wanted to continue walking in with a smile

"I'm really sorry, our tea shop is going to be closed for inventory. Miss Daming, please come back another day."

For a businessman, as long as he looks like a person from China, it is correct to call him Daming directly.

Of course the Ming people would not mind, and the He people, Koreans, Burmese, South Vietnamese, Siamese, etc. would all feel honored and would not take the initiative to say that they were not from the Ming Dynasty.

Aoxue will not correct mistakes, but the answer is a bit special:

"I don't drink tea, I don't buy tea leaves, and I don't wait for anyone. I have an ancestral tea set. The elders say it came from Rome. I don't know if it's true. I want your shopkeeper to appraise it..."

After saying the secret signal, the man immediately understood what Aoxue was doing, and looked at the old lady behind, who was Aunt An, with a look of embarrassment.

Aunt An was over 50 years old, wearing a Ming-style long gown Bijia, holding a handkerchief in her hand, wiping the sweat from her forehead and saying:

"You... you came here at a bad time... I really don't have the time to show you antiques..."

Aoxue also looked around to confirm that there was no one following her outside.

Then he opened a package he was carrying, and showed Aunt An the neatly folded goods inside:
"I have two packs here, a total of sixteen items, and I have more at home."

Aunt An glanced at the contents of Aoxue's bag, and was obviously moved when she heard Aoxue's words.

I usually receive goods, five or six pieces at a time is too much, and I have never seen more than ten pieces at a time.

Aoxue directly brought sixteen pieces. The key point is that this is not all of them. There are more at home.

It's kind of surprising, and naturally greedy.

Aunt An is completely different from Lin Na. Even if the rumors are turbulent now, when you can make money, taking risks is nothing.

But Aoxue is a stranger, and in the current atmosphere, she has to consider the possibility of official fishing.

So Aunt An still pretended not to understand:

"Miss, what do you mean, why are you showing me these clothes?"

Aoxue was stunned for a moment, then laughed dryly:

"Play stupid for me, right? I was able to find you with the code, just because I know for sure that you are here to receive the goods.

"Now the streets are full of soldiers, I will report you for smuggling, and I will arrest you and shoot you at the county government in no time!"

Aunt Ann's still completely unmoved:
"Miss, don't slander good people out of thin air, I don't even know what you're talking about..."

Seeing this, Aoxue directly opened the goods and note that Lin Na gave her, and waved them in her hands to show Aunt An:

"How dare the old man pretend to be a fool with me? I'll just throw this bag and the note Lin Na gave me into your store right now. It's useless if you transfer the goods.

"Do you think the officials of Ming Dynasty believe me, the second-generation daughter who grew up in Ming Dynasty, or you, an old Persian bitch with a disgusting smell all over your body?"

Aoxue's taunts were fully used, and so were the threats.

Aunt An's expression couldn't hold back anymore, she gritted her teeth and waved her hand violently.

The guys around received the order, and immediately dispersed to surround Aoxue, posing as if they were ready to strike at any time.

The guys are all young and middle-aged men, of course it is impossible for Aoxue, a weak woman, to resist.

Now that this woman, Aoxue, has her trump card, her unscrupulous character is undoubtedly exposed:

"Heh... what? The old bitch bared her teeth? Are you trying to kill someone to silence her?

"Since my aunt came to see you directly, pointing at your sausage-like old face and scolding you as an old dog, she doesn't care if you play tricks on me or not.

"If Auntie loses a single hair here today, none of you bastards will ever see the sun tomorrow!"

Aoxue's appearance and demeanor are already strong, but now she speaks even more sternly.

Several guys took two steps back in fright.

Aunt An was insulted by face jumping. Although she was very angry in her heart, she quickly thought of many possibilities.

This little girl dares to be so arrogant, she is definitely not an ordinary person, or she must have a big background.

If you dare to speak nonsense here, you must have reserved your hands.

In particular, she claims to be the second generation and female, this identity is very special.

Although the native Hewomen of the Ming Dynasty are basically slaves, the Hewomen who can afford it are all powerful and wealthy merchants of the Ming Dynasty.

Especially if the second generation and the daughter are raised, they must be old aristocratic and business families of decades.

If I really do it regardless, the consequences may really be completely unpredictable.

Even if this woman is bluffing, it shouldn't be a problem in this time when everything is in danger.

So Aunt An took a deep breath, several times in a row, and forcibly controlled her emotions.

Then, with the last of his strength, he managed to squeeze out a little smile:

"Miss, don't get excited, it's all my fault, I'm here to make an apology to you, please don't count the faults of villains.

"It's just that the current environment is too bad. I don't dare to trust people easily, and I really don't dare to accept goods anymore."

Aunt An admitted her identity, but she still didn't dare to accept Aoxue's goods, and was going to send Aoxue out.

Aoxue's expression softened a little:
"If you really don't have time to look, you can give me the contact information of your next home, and I will go directly to the other party to look at the goods.

"By the way, if you have goods to deal with, you can also let me bring them to you.

"Anyway, I carry these with me, which is enough for a top penalty, and I don't care how many more."

Aoxue cheated the goods from Lin Na before, and got the contact information of the upper channel, and now she wants to repeat the same trick.

Continue to try to scam goods while digging up the deep channel.

According to Lin Na, the price she sold to Aunt An was already at the level of forty silver bills.

At most, this Aunt An can have one next home, that is, a businessman who directly ships goods to Taixi, and she will not make money after more hands.

Even Aunt An herself... may have the means to deliver goods directly to Taixi, so as to have higher profits.

Aunt An's mood also recovered a bit, looked at Aoxue and said with a smile:
"You are trying to be a white wolf with nothing to do, to deceive an old man like me.

"If I give you my goods and the channel, I may never see you in my life.

"Besides, our store is out of stock, and I really dare not pick it up now, so please go back."

This old bitch really can't be fooled by such a small trick...

Aoxue sighed in her heart, there was nothing unnatural on the surface, she continued with a straight face:

"Then you give me the contact information of your next family, and I will find them to make a deal by myself."

Aunt An directly shook her head and said:
"I'm really sorry, I really can't tell you this, this is what the old man eats..."

Aoxue's expression became severe again, and she raised Lin Na's note and package again:
"You don't want to pick up my goods, and you don't want to introduce me to the next one, so I can only take this bag and report you, and then you won't have to eat!"

Aunt An closed her eyes in despair, and took a deep breath:

"Okay, okay... I will accept your goods, and I will accept all the goods you brought. What price do you want?"

Aoxue sneered twice, walked directly into the door, and sat down in the lobby on her own.

After thinking about it for a short time, Aunt An ordered the staff to stand guard at the door, and went to sit opposite Aoxue herself.

Seeing the other party sitting down, Aoxue said unhurriedly:

"The goods I want to ship are not just those on me, these are just samples and to prove my strength.

"I have a total of [-] pieces in my hands now, all of which are the most high-end goods with [-]% elastic yarn.

"It can be delivered directly at any time. Shopkeeper An, are you sure you can negotiate the price?"

When Aunt An heard the number one hundred and six, her eyeballs almost popped out:
"Do you know what you're talking about? Over 100 top-end items? Does Cotton know the real value of this stuff!"

Aoxue said very calmly:

"Of course I know, I know the price of this thing in the big cities of Taixi, it is more expensive than gold by weight.

"I now have a very stable and reliable source of goods, and these one hundred and six items can only be regarded as the beginning.

"I'm looking for a channel to sell directly to Taixi, I don't think you can take on this kind of job, Shopkeeper An.

"So let your next family, or your real boss, talk to me."

Aunt An tasted the meaning revealed in Aoxue's words, and various thoughts quickly came to her mind.

A stable supply of goods, one hundred is just the beginning...

If this little girl wasn't fishing to frame herself, then she should be the spokesperson for someone really big.

This big man saw the profits in this industry, so he wanted to get involved in this industry.

Even, the current turbulent situation may have something to do with this big man.

Under such circumstances, this little girl was completely fearless, and swaggered to find herself to sell.

He also bluntly wanted to find direct sales channels to Taixi.

Could it be...the arrest of the smuggling businessman this time was just a cover for the big man's plan?

Squeeze out other small and medium-sized smugglers, and then enjoy the profits of smuggling?

To be able to achieve this level, what level does this big man have to be?

If this is really the case, continuing to trade with this big man can actually guarantee the safety of his own channel.

When thinking of this possibility, Aunt An's enthusiasm also rose.

"Miss, don't look down on me, this old man can really talk about business.

"What price do you want for these one hundred and six pieces? When will it be delivered?"

Aoxue said without hesitation:

"One piece of sixty silver bills, ready for delivery at any time."

Aunt An almost didn't hold back, and said with a smile:
"Miss, if you are in a hurry to make a move, I can accept it at the price of thirty silver bills.

"As for the price of sixty silver bills, with all due respect, you might as well go directly to Paris to sell them."

Aoxue asked in surprise:
"How can you tell that I am in a hurry to make a move? I can tell that you are about to run out of stock.

"I'm giving you a chance now, and you can get a steady supply of goods from me in the future, and you can get a hundred pieces every month.

"But my condition is that for each piece of sixty silver bills, there must be no less than one copper."

Aoxue learned from Zhu Jingyuan the phrase "not a single copper is missing", and she uses it anytime and anywhere.

Aunt An was taken aback when she heard this, this little girl's tone was too loud.

I have never come into contact with such a strong woman, and I was almost out of breath when I was scolded by her at the door.

What kind of character is it that can raise a maid with such a character?
Is it Master Lin?Or a character from the harem of the Great Food King?

After a few seconds of silence, Aunt An tried to probe:
"What is your identity? Can you maintain a monthly supply of [-] pieces?"

Of course, Aoxue couldn't answer directly:
"I can only tell you that no matter how strict the outside inspection is, I can always get the source of goods, and now I am looking for channels to sell them."

Aunt An felt that her guess had been verified.

The situation outside may have been initiated by this big man, with the purpose of seizing the profits of smuggling channels.

To do this kind of thing under the eyes of the Dashi King, probably the favorite concubine in the harem can do it.

Aunt An speculated about various situations in her heart, and couldn't help reminding Aoxue casually:
"If you can supply one hundred pieces of the highest-grade goods every month, then the market price in Taixi will drop soon, because there are not so many people who can consume this kind of goods..."

Aoxue glared at Aunt An sharply, and said loudly almost in a reprimanding tone:

"Are you an idiot, old bitch? I can get a hundred top-end ones, but I can't get more low-end ones?

"I'm going to give you one last chance now, one hundred bills, six thousand silver bills, buy it now.

"After today, you have to kneel down and beg me to get this batch of goods."

Aunt An was a little confused immediately, this woman is really too fierce.

I just made a little perfunctory sentence, and the other party directly insulted her face. The key is that I have to endure it.

The opponent's threat is really fierce.

If her guesses are true, then she may really be able to do what she says.

Completely control the shipping channels, so that if I can't get the goods elsewhere in the future, I will come back to beg her sooner or later.

Although she thought so in her heart, Aunt An didn't dare to take it lightly, the price of sixty silver bills was too high.

After excluding the cost of dredging relationships, you must get Taixi direct sales to make relatively considerable profits.

You can no longer change hands through the middleman over there, otherwise it will be a waste of work.

And at this moment, rashly eating a large amount of goods is also a very risky behavior.

Aunt An hesitated for a few seconds, and tried to explore the possibility of cooperation in another direction:
"Dare to ask, miss, you said that no matter how strict the outside inspection is, you can always get the source of goods.

"So, can the power behind you provide support for our shipment?
"Mainly, to help us pass the inspection of customs and patrol fleet..."

Aoxue subconsciously wants to refuse, but soon realizes that this is an opportunity:
"I need to go back and ask for instructions. You guys better explain the situation clearly, and don't make me make another trip..."

Aunt An was a little more confident about her guess, and immediately expressed her idea:

"If you have the power behind you, you can protect us and take the goods out of Meng County.

"Or you can send the goods out of Mengxian Island, and the two of us will trade directly in the open sea, then we can issue sixty silver bills, and we want as many as you want.

"If you can send the goods through the West Sea Canal, and we can trade directly in the Great Qin Sea, then we can issue seventy silver bills, and the more the better.

"We need other elastic yarn, rayon raw materials, and various finished products, and the price is also negotiable.

"If we just deliver here, then we can only pay fifty silver bills at most.

"And it's impossible to eat a hundred sticks directly. You can only pick up ten sticks at most at a time. Send a batch away and pick up another batch."

Aoxue has also been observing and analyzing this Shopkeeper An, and now she thinks that she may really have a direct channel to Taixi mainland.

At least it belongs to a direct subordinate of a person with a channel, rather than a middleman who needs to change hands again.

For overseas transactions, you can take the southward route, bypass the Cape of the West, and go to the Western continent by going to the Atlantic Ocean.

Although the journey is far away, the risk is very low. As long as the smuggling ship does not stop at the coast of Daming, there is basically no problem.

If they trade in Daqin overseas, they will have almost no risk, let alone seventy silver bills, they dare to accept eighty silver bills.

Because this thing should have a price but no market, they will definitely make money when they get the supply.

This kind of person is what I am looking for, and I have to find a way to go deep into these channels and dig out the relevant network.

Of course, they could just be bluffing.

If they want to put a long line to catch big fish, they may be caught at any time, but now they are temporarily safe.

Aoxue judged various situations in her heart, took out six items from her bag and put them on the table:
"These are my own six bills, and now I'm selling them to you for fifty silver bills, and I'll ask for instructions on the rest."

Aunt An hesitated for a few seconds, picked up the things and checked them carefully, and confirmed that they were all the most high-end goods.

Then he took out six gold banknotes from his pocket.

The maximum denomination of silver bills is ten yuan, and then there are gold bills. There is only one denomination of gold bills, which is one.

One gold note can be exchanged for fifty silver notes, which is equivalent to 5000 RMB in later generations when converted according to purchasing power.

Aoxue has lived for 20 years, and she can count the chances of seeing gold bills from a distance with one hand, and she has no chance of touching them.

Now that I received six gold bills, I just counted the number casually, and then put them away directly.

The idea in my heart is that I don't have the ability to distinguish the true from the false anyway, so I can just go to the bank to confirm the deposit.

If this group of people gave you counterfeit money, then go back to shopkeeper Lin immediately and take their nest directly.

Aoxue took the money and went out, and Aunt An immediately stood up:
"Everyone and goods will be transferred immediately!"

"Go check this woman's background immediately!"

"Go and inform Mr. Rothschild immediately."

Aunt An didn't know who Aoxue was, or if she was from Xichang.

At this juncture, I absolutely dare not make any big claims.

Run away if you feel threatened.

As a result, Auntie An had just finished speaking when Aoxue suddenly turned her head back.

Aunt An was obviously taken aback, and quickly tried to squeeze out a smile and asked:

"Miss... do you have anything else to order?"

Aoxue sat on the chair again:

"It suddenly occurred to me that no matter who I am, after you have come into contact with me, you will definitely run away now.

"Since you are going to run away, this store must be a big deal, and in this situation, you have no chance to find someone to trade.

"This shop may become an ownerless thing in the future, and will be directly occupied by homeless people sooner or later, why not just give it to me now.

"In the future, you can come here directly to find me to trade, or you can leave me a message and ask me to meet and trade elsewhere."

Aunt An was stunned by Aoxue's thoughts.

After being stunned for a few seconds, he slowed down:
"This...Miss, although we can't find someone to trade right now, we may not have opportunities in the future.

"When the hype passes, we may come back and continue to open the store ourselves, or sell the store to someone else.

"It's impossible to let such a big shop be abandoned, you really think too much..."

Aoxue didn't fool Aunt An all of a sudden, but she also prepared a second strategy to deal with her:

"You may be able to come back in the future, but during the time you are away, this store will definitely be idle, why not use it for me temporarily.

"Leave the deed and title deed, write an indefinite use authorization, and mark that the landlord can cancel it at any time.

"If you don't come back, I will let me use this house indefinitely, and if you can come back, you can take it back directly.

"To sell a house in Daming, you have to register and change your name at the government office. It is invalid for you to buy and sell real estate privately with others. Now no one in Meng County will buy your house privately.

"If the limelight is really over, when you can go to the yamen to do business in an open and honest manner, you can come back to me to get the original deed of the house, or simply go to the yamen to check the real estate registration files and directly apply for a new certificate.

"As for renting out the house in private, are you sure that the law-abiding citizens you contact will not report you? Wanted criminals who are not law-abiding dare to come back to rent this sensitive place?
"Only I can continue to use this house here openly.

"So if you directly give me the right to use the house, there will be no additional loss for you.

"This shop continues to be open, and I can help cover your whereabouts.

"I can even continue to receive goods for you here, if you are willing to leave enough money for me.

"At a critical moment, if I say something nice to you, I may not have a chance to save your life."

Aunt An was silent.

What this little girl said is indeed true.

There is really no additional loss for myself.

Anyway, this house is useless, and it will be used for this little girl, or it will be left unused, and the loss will make no difference.

The most important thing is the last sentence:
She can speak well for herself.

If this little girl was really sent by some big person to benefit this little girl, then she would definitely love her.

A few words of personal servants at critical moments may really affect their master's decision.

It may be a decision about whether one's own life can continue.

So in the end Aunt An decided to accept Aoxue's suggestion.

I wrote down the power of attorney, left the house deed and land deed, and the keys of various doors and cabinets.

Let Aoxue wait in the shop lobby in front, and Aunt An took the clerks and servants to pack things inside.

The process was swift, and they left through the back door with nothing but cash, bonds, expensive jewelry, and recent shipments.

The furnishings, utensils, daily necessities in the store, and all the normal facilities in the entire store are all left intact.

Such a set of real estate with a total of more than [-] rooms in the front shop and backyard fell into the hands of Aoxue.

Standing in front of the window on the second floor of the store, Aoxue looked at the busy street in front of the door, muttering a little dazedly:
"Is that how you got it? Such a big house will be my Aoxue's from now on!
"The key point is not to deal with Lin Na's kind of deceit, but to ask for it directly.

"Sure enough, with the King's support, I can really do whatever I want!"
