Seeing the other party's persistence, Ye Li could only accept the other party's greeting, and then said: "Okay, Brother Lin, this is just one time to express my gratitude. Please don't do it again, otherwise I don't know how to get along with Uncle Lin and the others in the future."
Lin Zhusi seemed to be a person who knew her limits. After bowing, she quickly straightened up and nodded with a smile.
"By the way, Mr. Ye, you came to see me today, but is there anything you can do for me?"
The other party's respectful tone really made Ye Li feel uncomfortable, so he hurriedly said: "Brother Lin, we are also family, so don't call me Master Ye all the time, and don't use honorifics, just call me Brother Ye or Brother Ye casually.
Otherwise, Uncle Lin can call me Brother Ye, and you can call me Master Ye. It's really awkward for me. "
Hearing Ye Li's words, Lin Zhusi finally laughed, relaxed a little, and said: "Okay, then I will call you Brother Ye."
Ye Li nodded and said, "That's right, I was always polite to Uncle Lin and the others before, but I got scolded by them, hahahaha.
By the way, Brother Lin, I came here today because I want to ask your Travel Merchants Association for help with something."
Lin Zhusi quickly became serious, and then asked Ye Li to sit down first, and then said: "Brother Ye, if you have anything to say, just tell us. You said we are family, and we will definitely not refuse to help you."
Ye Li nodded and said, "Brother Lin, I would like to ask, are there any merchants in your Merchant Association who specialize in selling casting materials? It would be best if they are suppliers of large quantities?"
Lin Zhusi was stunned for a moment and said, "I guess there are no large-scale suppliers. If they really have that kind of ability, why would they need to be traveling merchants? Wouldn't it be better to supply directly to the Casting Family?"
However, there are quite a few merchants selling casting materials. From what you said, Brother Ye, it seems that you need to buy a lot of casting materials?"
Ye Li nodded, without hiding anything, and told Lin Zhusi about the difficulties encountered in the family's foundry business, and then said: "Brother Lin, so we need someone who can continue to provide us with a large amount of foundry materials.
I think your Merchants' Association has gathered many merchants, and most of the materials we need are yellow-level materials, with a small amount of black-level materials, which are not of high level, so I want to see if you can help us solve this problem. "
After thinking for a while, Lin Zhusi said, "I will send a letter to my father and his friends right away, asking them to gather all the merchants selling casting materials together. Let's accumulate the goods and see if they can meet your needs."
After hearing what Lin Zhusi said, Ye Li hurriedly took out the list of required materials that Ye Huaicang wrote to him and handed it to Lin Zhusi.
Lin Zhusi took it and looked at it, then said, "Based on my experience, I think we should be able to complete your request, but the specific situation will only be known after I ask.
Brother Ye, please wait for me at home for a day. This place is very close to Katayama County. My father and Uncle Li should receive my letter right away. With their efficiency, I estimate that they can give me an accurate reply within a day.
Brother Ye, do you live in the Ye Family compound in the city, or somewhere else? I can inform you immediately after receiving the reply. "
Ye Li was naturally overjoyed when he heard Lin Zhusi's answer. He told her where he lived and said, "Thank you very much, Brother Lin. I'll be waiting for your good news at home."
After Lin Zhusi nodded, she went about handling the matter. Ye Li naturally would not interfere with her and immediately said goodbye and left.
The next evening, Ye Li was practicing talismans in the courtyard when suddenly there was a knock on the door.
Ye Li hurriedly opened the door, and it was Lin Zhusi whom he had been waiting for.
After quickly letting the other party into the courtyard and sitting back in the house, Lin Zhusi said to Ye Li excitedly, "Brother Ye, after I told my father about your situation, they immediately contacted all the traveling merchants they could find.
After some statistics, our Merchants Association will be able to gather all the casting materials you need for you.
Now, because time is urgent, we can only find a limited number of traveling merchants. If you give us enough time, even if your demand is twice as large, we can still get it for you.
We have also unified the price. After all, you want a large quantity, so all the merchants are willing to lower the price by half a level and compete to sell it. "
As Lin Zhusi spoke, he took out a few pages of paper and handed them to Ye Li, saying, "Brother Ye, here is the total amount of materials we can immediately mobilize, and their prices are also included. I wonder if you are satisfied?"
Ye Li took the paper and looked at it for a few seconds. The quantity of each material on it was slightly more than what his family needed. As for the price, he didn't know it himself, so he couldn't make sense of it.
"Brother Lin, thank you so much. I will report this matter to the family immediately. If the price you offer is reasonable, we will buy all the materials immediately and hope that you can continue to supply us.
We may need more materials in the future. If you, the Travel Merchants Association, are able to undertake this, we should be able to continue our cooperation.”
Lin Zhusi smiled and nodded, "We also hope to cooperate with Brother Ye's family. First, we can help you solve your problems. Second, for the merchants in our Traveling Merchants Association, having a fixed big buyer is definitely a dream come true.
This also proves that our cooperative model of traveling merchants is successful. After all, in the past these traveling merchants were all individual traders, and they would never be able to find such a large buyer because it was impossible for them to gather the goods together and sell them together.
But now with the existence of our Travel Merchants Association, they have a new business direction, and can sell goods that can only be sold separately in bulk together. "
Ye Li also nodded in agreement, and then he prepared to rush to the Ye family compound to report the situation to Ye Wujiu.
Lin Zhusi also hurriedly stood up and followed Ye Li out of the house, saying: "Brother Ye, I will go back first. After you make a decision, I will be able to deliver the goods to you immediately.
I know you are in a hurry to use these goods, so Dad has already mobilized the goods to Yeyu City in advance, and we used a large number of Qiankun bags to pack them.
After all, this time the situation is special and you need it urgently, so as long as you decide and buy, we will use fast horses and Qiankun bags to ship, and we can get all the goods to you in one day."
After hearing the other party's words, Ye Li's heart was filled with gratitude. He knew that the other party did this purely for his sake.
For traveling merchants, Qiankun bags are never surplus supplies. It is definitely not an easy task for them to gather a bunch of them in a short period of time.
