Coincidentally!My name is Liu Bian

Chapter 66 Zhongshan Dashi is very stingy

Liu Bian nodded slightly to show his agreement.

What else could he say? ——He could only say: Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang... are worthy of being big businessmen in Zhongshan. They are really not short of money!In the front, Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang donated 50 yuan, [-] kilograms of ore, [-] shi of grain and grass, [-] horses, and [-] pieces of silk and satin. Later, Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang donated a cart full of money, buying and selling generously!

I vow to buy all the ceramics in Nanpi County!
However, these ceramics were bought by Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang in turn at extremely low prices!

However, don’t think that if Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang spend a cartload of money to buy ceramics, they will definitely spend all the money... I forgot to mention that this cartload of money is just for ostentation. It just saves time and is convenient for Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang. No need to run back and forth.

Interestingly, Liu Bian thought: Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang obviously had huge sums of money, but they only spent a little money to buy ceramics... Will the other party be angry?
If he gets angry and starts a dispute, can he take the opportunity to suppress the families behind the kiln? ——To be honest, he really wants to annex these kilns! !
Instead of letting the kiln farm under his nose to make money for the aristocratic families——

Even if the current kiln is in good order, you can’t make a mistake for the time being!

Thinking about this, he touched his nose and thought with shame: Good or bad, by lowering the prices for Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang, he was "helping the evildoers"... It seemed like it was really not much better?
Ugh!
He sighed silently and waited silently for the return of the kiln foreman.

When I was young, the kiln foreman and six or seven potters carried out various ceramics one by one.

He took a closer look and smiled immediately.

Ho!
I was wondering whether I was going to act like a bully. Unexpectedly, the quality of the ceramics this time was not as good as those of masters Yuan Yi and Zhang Daci. Should I say that the ceramics production skills of masters Yuan Yi and Zhang Daci were very high?

At first glance at the ceramics placed in front of him, Liu Bian suddenly felt that the ceramics in front of him were defective products.

Anyway, Liu Bian felt inexplicably that the ceramics made by Zhang Da Ci were really first-rate!

His thoughts were exactly the same as those of Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang.

Maybe it was because he had been influenced by his teacher Yuan Yi before, and maybe Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang knew something about ceramics. In short, Zhang Shiping raised his eyebrows, while Su Shuang did not hide the disappointment in his eyes, took a step forward, and asked:

"That's it?"

His tone was high and questioning.

The kiln foreman was stunned for a moment, then raised his eyebrows and said, "What's the matter? Are you not satisfied?"

Su Shuang touched a series of ceramics with his hands, such as Beiyang Kiln, Nanpi Kiln and Bohai Kiln, and commented with dissatisfaction:
"The color of the kilnware is too dirty, too turbid, and not beautiful at all! The color of the kilnware over there is about to fade. Are you sure it is really new ceramics? Are you really trying to deal with me with half-finished products?..."

Bah bah bah, Su Shuang criticized all the ceramics present and expressed his disgust.

The kiln foreman's face changed after hearing this.

It's okay if you don't find faults, but if you find faults... Blinking, Liu Bian sighed for no reason: These ceramics are similar, but they are made by different potters, so what if the quality is really different?

It was a pity that this kiln no longer had high-quality ceramic workers like Yuan Yi and Zhang Daci, so Su Ping felt no nostalgia and bargained mercilessly:

"Tell me! How much are these ceramics of yours worth? I won't buy them for more than twenty dollars."

hiss~
The price is so high!
Liu Bian secretly smacked his tongue: Twenty dollars?Are you competing with Mr. Zhang Shiping?

Looking at the kiln foreman again, the kiln foreman laughed angrily and said unhappily: "If you want to buy it, buy it. If you don't buy it, why bother to eliminate me? At this price, are you going to send a beggar away? - No selling! No selling!"

Su Shuang said: "Are you sure you don't want to sell it? Don't regret it!"

After that, Su Shuang winked at Liu Bian. His skillful movements and habitual expression could easily make Liu Bian think that Su Shuang was a habitual offender... From this, it can be seen that Zhang Shiping would probably do the same thing?

Far away.

When he heard that the kiln foreman no longer planned to sell ceramics, Liu Bian cleared his throat and said:
"Do you know who this king is?!"

The kiln foreman was completely taken aback. He looked Liu Bian up and down with a trace of surprise and fear in his eyes, but he did not ask about Liu Bian's identity... After a pause, the kiln foreman changed his previous attitude. Qiqi Ai Ai said:

"Well, twenty dollars is too little... I think my level of making ceramics is not good, but I can't let it go as low as this. The worst I've done in the past, I could sell it for five hundred dollars——"

"Five hundred dollars? Are you robbing it? Why don't you go and rob it? - It's only twenty dollars, and you don't even think about an extra penny! Instead, tell me, this ceramic of yours lacks feel and beauty, what's the merit? "Taking advantage of having Liu Bian as his backer, Su Shuang glared, but kept shouting and arguing, trying to bargain with the kiln foreman.

As a result, the kiln foreman blushed and became angry, but he could not effectively fight back against Su Shuang, and he did not dare to really drive the guests away... After a long verbal battle, the kiln foreman relented aggrievedly and agreed to Su Shuang's request. Bought all the ceramics for twenty cents——

besides!The kiln foreman also volunteered to send a truck for free so that Su Shuang could load all the ceramics.

Not only was Su Shuang not grateful, he even felt aggrieved and complained that he had lost money.Zhang Shiping didn't look sideways, pretending that he wasn't smiling, and endured the trembling of his body.

As if begging grandpa to send grandma away, the kiln foreman finally sent Liu Bian and his party away. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and felt that he couldn't live this day... It was quite timely to send someone to the "shanzhai" to send the message, but No matter how timely it is, what's the use? ——The kiln farm was targeted by the Bohai prefect, and he couldn’t hide even if he wanted to!
This is going to be visited by the Bohai prefect every now and then... How can this be dealt with?Can the business continue? !

The kiln foreman is very sad.

Liu Bian and his party loaded a truck full of goods and walked a long way until they couldn't see the kiln behind them, and then they laughed loudly.

Wiping the tears from laughter at the corner of his eyes, Liu Bian praised: "Well done."

Su Shuang bowed his hands towards Liu Bian and said first: "Thanks to His Highness for stepping forward." After sighing, Su Shuang said:

"It's a pity that I was unlucky and bought this inferior product."

Zhang Shiping shook his head and said: "Brother Su, Brother Su, just be satisfied! The quality of these ceramics is again much more valuable than ordinary goods... As long as you are eloquent, you can sell it for one thousand or two thousand dollars. It's not a problem." .”

Hearing this, Liu Bian opened his mouth wide: What do you mean?Is ceramics actually such a profitable business? !Can ceramics be sold for thousands of dollars again? !

Su Shuang said: "Brother Zhang, stop talking sarcastically! If you really want to comfort me, just give me that Beiyao."

"That's not okay." Zhang Shiping's expression changed, "That Beiyang is a family heirloom and should not be given away easily."

Huh?
family heirloom? !

Liu Bian was stunned, while Su Shuang snorted: "Brother Zhang, are you kidding me?"

"How could it be? - I really want to treat this as a family heirloom!"

"...Is this implication that you still have to sell it?"

Zhang Shiping: "..."

This time, Zhang Shiping fell silent.

Su Shuang said reluctantly: "What? Why didn't you say anything?"

Seeing that Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping were about to quarrel, Liu Bian quickly clapped his hands to divert their attention, and persuaded them: "Don't worry, there are two kilns, maybe you can see better ceramics." .”

It also makes sense.

Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang stopped arguing.

Liu Bian and his party continued to the third and fourth kilns.

Unfortunately, Liu Bian and his team’s good luck seemed to have run out, or perhaps their masters Yuan Yi and Zhang Daci were the ceiling of Nanpi County’s ceramic industry. As a result, when Liu Bian and his team bought ceramics from the latter two companies, they all found that the latter two The ceramics...are really inferior to the other!
In the end, Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang brutally bought the ceramics of the remaining two companies at prices of nine qian and eight qian respectively, and even prostituted two carts for nothing... The kiln managers of the remaining two happened to be present, and also Liu Bian had met Liu Bian once before, but they both dared to be angry and dare not speak out - cough!

I've mispoken!
He is just following his fancy and selling ceramics at low prices very boldly, no matter how distorted the facial expressions of the ceramic workers in the kiln are, and their facial features are almost misaligned...

The most frightening thing is: Liu Bian said with a smile and enthusiasm:

"Your service is very considerate, and I am very satisfied with it! I will come to visit you again in the near future! Wait for me~"

All the potters felt messy in the wind, beaten hard, and endured pain that they should not have to endure at this age!

As the sun set, three carts loaded with ceramics, which had been purchased for a day, walked leisurely towards the palace of Prince Bohai.After Liu Bian and his party returned home, it was time to report on the progress of the work... After bidding farewell to Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang for the time being, Liu Bian and the guards rushed to the study.

As soon as he arrived at the study, Liu Bian unexpectedly discovered that there was another person outside the study.

"You?!" Liu Bian looked at the person in front of him, confused.

Yuan Shao held his hand and introduced him proactively: "Your Highness, this person is Tian Feng, whom I met today..."

Bah bah bah, Yuan Shao simply praised Tian Feng.

Liu Bian was stunned, with only this thought in his mind:
I, Liu Bian, just want to farm, I really... really don’t want to fight for hegemony! !
