Datang all-rounder

Chapter 210

Looking at Wang Ke who walked into the store, the businessman from the Western Regions knew that his business was going to be done again. For him, it was fine if Wang Ke didn’t come. It can only be ordered by himself. Although Wang Ke will bargain with him, but because these things are not available in the market, no matter how much he bargains, he can still make money. Quite welcome.

Wang Ke and the businessman didn’t meet once or twice, but he had never asked the businessman’s name. Every time he came, he was called “Boss, Boss”. This person thought it would be better to know his name when he was familiar with him, so when he came to I thought about it on the way, and it would be better to ask the name first when I came, so that it will be convenient for future contacts, isn't it?

Wang Ke cupped his hands to the businessman and said, "Boss, I'm here to trouble you again. We have dealt with a lot, and I still don't know what the boss calls me!"

In this era, businessmen are already looked down upon by people, let alone foreigners. Although Datang does not discriminate against foreigners, there are not many people who call them "bosses" like Wang Ke. Most of them call them "hu people." "Call it.

There are many people who come here to buy things and don't know the name of the merchant, so the merchants in the Western Regions didn't pay attention when Wang Ke didn't ask him before, but now they feel a little excited when Wang Ke asks their name.

The businessman hurriedly cupped his hands and said to Wang Ke: "My lord, the villain is from Persia. The name is quite long and hard to remember. My lord's name is Bohan."

It can be seen that this person has been in Datang for a long time, and he has experience in calling their names by the people here, because their names are too long, and people here can't remember them, so they simply put the long string of names in words. Take out the simplest and easiest to remember in the book, and it is also convenient for people here to call it casually.

Wang Ke nodded. He also knew that this person's name would not be so short, but he would not be able to remember the full name if they told them. This is very good. It is simple and easy to remember. Han is still very good at pondering people's psychology.

Bohan stretched out his hand to ask Wang Ke to sit down, and after serving tea himself, he asked Wang Ke, "I wonder if my lord is here today, what can I do for my villain?"

Wang Ke was also not polite, and said straightforwardly: "I came here today to ask for something, and I hope the boss can hurry up and get it done for me!"

As soon as Bohan heard Wang Ke speak so politely, he knew that it would not be an easy task. However, in his opinion, Wang Ke was not an unreasonable person. It was well-founded, and I was able to find it after spending a little time, so I didn't care about it, but said in a very respectful tone: "Your Excellency just say it, and the villain will definitely do his best to do it for you."

Wang Ke was also very clear about the business that Bohan was doing. They were all relatively common goods from the Western Regions, but he didn't know about the fur business, so he decided to ask first before telling his plans.

Wang Ke turned to Bohan who was sitting on the side and asked, "I wonder if the boss is involved in the fur business?"

As soon as Bohan heard it, he knew that Wang Ke must be here today to buy furs, but Wang Ke's question touched his sore spot. For the fur business, people from the Western Regions must be better than others in making fur goods, but in Raw hides are much inferior to those of the Turks.

Generally speaking, the leather they sell is also sold from the Turkic people. Some of the raw hides brought back from the Turkic people are directly used for sale, and some are used for reprocessing to make leather shoes, leather goods, etc. Cap and fur coat.

Now that Wang Ke has asked, he knows that it is no good to conceal.For customers, once they are discovered after concealment, it means losing more than one customer.As for Wang Ke, even though Bohan didn't know how big Wang Ke was, but through several interactions, he could vaguely know that this person would not be an ordinary person, and this power would not be the same.

Bohan cautiously replied: "My lord, this fur business is also done by villains, but most of them are in the fur business. The Turkic people are better than us in the Western Regions. But their leather-making technology is not as good as ours. Their raw hides will be handed over to us for processing!"

The purpose of Bohan's words is also to tell Wang Ke that it is useless to just look at raw hides. When it comes to production, it is better for them from the Western Regions. If Wang Ke wants to use raw hides to make things, ask them People from the Western Regions are more practical than Turkic people. Of course, if Wang Ke only wants raw hides, it is better to trade directly with Turkic people.

Wang Ke already knew what Bohan said. Now that Bohan didn't talk nonsense to himself in order to win business, although he knew that people at this time were still very honest in doing business, he still felt a little comforted in his heart. After all, in later generations , that kind of intrigue in the business field has made the current Wang Ke feel a little bored.

Wang Ke nodded slightly and said: "I thought I knew about this situation, so I came to you directly. What I want now is to ask you to help me find some craftsmen who are proficient in making leather goods, and let them do things for me. Buying directly from you like this, of course, has to be tanned. This business is long-term, and it is different from the previous ones. The leather goods I make can also be sold to the Western Regions by you. Note that they are sold to the Western Regions. It's not in Datang territory. I wonder if Boss Bohan is willing?"

Bohan really didn't expect that Wang Ke came here today not directly to buy something, but to make such a request.

As for the sales of fur goods, in his opinion, they are just the ones he usually sees. These things also have channels for purchase, and they are all trafficked from the Western Regions to the Tang Dynasty. Now Wang Ke actually gave himself a counterattack. The way to do it is to make it in the territory of the Tang Dynasty and let me transport it to the Western Regions to sell, so I can't help but feel a little strange.

Bohan said puzzledly: "My lord, it's okay for a villain to find a few craftsmen for your lord. As long as the price given by your lord is right, you can do it. But the journey of this leather goods has always been from the Western Regions to the Tang Dynasty." Selling, this is selling from the Tang Dynasty to the Western Regions, isn't it a bit inappropriate!"

Wang Ke knew that they were worried that the things they made would not be appreciated by people in the Western Regions. If they trafficked the things they made, no one would care about them. Not a small number.To do business, of course, you need to see profits. Even if the goods are not at a loss, the labor and freight are also costs. If a business can't make money, but has to post some, then this businessman will not do it.

Wang Ke smiled and said confidently: "You don't have to worry about this issue. Since I dare you to sell it, it must be different from what I produce now. We can ignore this issue now, you just I need to help me find a craftsman, so I can just buy leather from you. As for the rest of the matter, let’s talk about it after the goods are made.”

It was rare for Wang Ke to speak so confidently, and he began to feel a little curious in his heart. However, his years of experience in business made him appear very calm. Anyway, as long as he finds a few craftsmen for Wang Ke, he can be the king. Ke has supplied the leather, and the business has been completed.As for the goods produced by Wang Ke in the future, I can take a look at them before making a decision. If they are good, I can ship them to the Western Regions for sale. If they are no different from the current ones, then I don’t have to buy them.

Bohan made up his mind and repeatedly promised Wang Ke that he would finish the matter of finding a craftsman for Wang Ke within a few days. While speaking, he tentatively asked Wang Ke when the ruffian needed it, so he could start preparing for it himself. .

Wang Ke could not understand what he meant, and said with a smile: "As long as you find the craftsman, you can start working immediately. Tomorrow I will send someone to send you a list of what kind of fur you need. The goods can be delivered to me immediately in the future.”

Wang Ke is also playing a trick here. Originally, this leather can be obtained at any time, but he is worried that Bohan will not be able to find a worker he is satisfied with. If this happens, it will be useless to get this product by himself .What Wang Ke said was to tell Bohan that he wanted the goods, but there was one condition, that is, he had to find a worker, otherwise, no matter how cheap the goods were, I would not want them (of course Wang Ke was in I still said in my heart: "If you give it away for free, I will take it if there are no workers!")!

Bohan understood what Wang Ke said, and he was very happy. What Wang Ke gave him this time was no longer the dispensable business as before, but a long-term fixed business. For retail-oriented merchants, this kind of fixed, regular supply business is the most stable.

Bohan sent Wang Ke out of the store with a big smile on his face, and immediately started to work as soon as Wang Ke left.

Don't look at Wang Ke didn't talk about the price of the goods with Bohan at all. If you can't meet your own requirements, wouldn't you just give it for nothing?When the goods arrive, and then negotiate the price according to the quality of the goods, Wang Ke will be able to remain invincible. Coupled with his own understanding of this time, Wang Ke also believes that businessmen at this time are not disrespectful People, judging from the things he has experienced, people at this time still value reputation very much.

What is before Wang Ke's eyes is to quickly find a place to use as his own shoe factory, and then find Nanping and a patented carpenter to produce all the accessories needed for making shoes. You can start working.

Wang Ke returned home full of joy, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw Li Ke squatting there teasing Xiao Wang.

Wang Ke stepped forward and said to Li Ke: "I don't care about my children, what are you doing here!"

As soon as Li Ke saw Wang Ke coming back, he stood up quickly and said, "Brother Wang's words are wrong. I can be regarded as Wang's uncle. It's normal for an uncle to visit his nephew. Why does Brother Wang have such an attitude!"

Wang Ke waved his hand and said: "Come on, I don't know you yet? You can go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing. Tell me, what can you do with me?"

Wang Ke knows Li Ke too well now, as long as it is not a treat at his own house, there will only be two things when he comes, one is to have a meal, and the other is to find himself for something.

When he came to his house when he was free, he must have come to grab a meal. This can be seen from the time when Li Ke came, and he must have come for a meal.If you came here before the meal time like today, then you must have something to look for yourself.

Li Ke looked at Wang Ke with a grin, and asked in a low voice, "What are you busy with, Brother Wang? Today, I heard that Father Huang has left it to Brother Wang to change the clothes of the civil servants, as well as to leave all the shoes to Brother Wang." Come to handle it. I wonder if this matter can let Ke also get some light?"

As soon as Wang Ke heard it, he knew what Li Ke's idea was. It was nothing more than wanting to invest some money and make money with him.Wang Ke has no objection to this request, but he doesn't want to agree to it immediately, so he has to tease Li Ke.

Wang Ke squinted at Li Ke, and said, "What kind of glory is there? This is doing things for the court. How can there be any kind of glory!"

Seeing Wang Ke's serious appearance, Li Ke said disapprovingly: "I don't know about you yet. I know this dress without asking. It must be made by sister Nanping. As for the shoes, hehe, Of course, Brother Wang and I invested in a shoe factory and made it ourselves."

Wang Ke was taken aback, Li Ke's thoughts were too consistent with his own, and what he was doing now was exactly what he said!Wang Ke knew that he couldn't hide this matter from him, and she never thought of hiding it from Li Ke. Now that she saw him, she had already said it, and now she couldn't do it anymore, so she had to wave her hand and let Li Ke follow her into the study. , I want to know how far this matter has gone, and I will tell Li Ke what I should do next.
