Shopkeeper Hu Da's mind flashed for a moment, and he immediately came back to his senses.
He looked at Lin Fufu with a smile on his face, and asked tentatively: "Miss Lin, this old man has been in the jade jewelry business all his life, especially jade jewelry, why haven't he heard that there are top-quality jade mines in the Northland?" ?”
Lin Fufu frowned slightly.
Sure enough, he is worthy of being the big shopkeeper for many years. Although he was anxious, he still remembered to inquire clearly.
But the way he inquires is not disgusting at all, this is the skill of a shopkeeper who has been around for many years.
Hearing this, Lin Fufu smiled slightly, then shook his head.
"Shopkeeper Hu, you haven't heard that there are top-quality jade mines in Beidi, but it doesn't mean that there aren't any." Her voice was clear, but she was very confident.
As soon as people hear it, they choose to believe her immediately.
After listening to her words, shopkeeper Hu Da's shrewd old eyes flashed, and he asked excitedly: "Oh, according to Miss Lin's meaning, then there is a top-quality jade mine in Beidi?"
Lin Fufu raised his eyes, looked at shopkeeper Hu Da, and said in a very serious tone, "Treasurer Hu, of course the top-quality jade mine is produced in this northern land, and my bracelet comes from there."
"That's great!" Shopkeeper Hu rubbed his hands excitedly, walking back and forth in the flower hall, "Oh, speaking of which, the old man is well-informed, but he didn't know that there was a top-quality jade mine in Beidi !"
Lin Fufu kept smiling.
"Ah, by the way, Miss Lin, where is the best jade mine in the Northland?" Shopkeeper Hu's eyes were full.
"I don't know about that. The friends I know are also from Beirong Kingdom." Lin Fufu laughed.
While carefully observing Shopkeeper Hu's face, if Shopkeeper Hu didn't have the guts to do business with her, then she wouldn't force it.
But Lin Fufu was very sure in his heart that a shrewd person like Shopkeeper Hu Da would never miss the opportunity to earn a lot of money.
Sure enough, shopkeeper Hu's eyeballs rolled wildly for a while, and he suddenly nodded fiercely.
He doesn't care where the goods come from, he just needs to report to the owner to buy the goods with silver.
"Okay, if Ms. Lin can make a connection, I will definitely report to our boss, and our boss will definitely repay Ms. Lin!" Shopkeeper Hu Da is not only shrewd, but also decisive, more straightforward than Lin Fufu imagined.
"Well, when I go back to Beidi, I will send someone to negotiate with shopkeeper Hu Da." Lin Fufu smiled and picked up the tea.
Shopkeeper Hu Da bowed to thank him again and again, Lin Fufu said with a smile: "You don't need to say thank you now, it won't be too late to thank Shopkeeper Hu Da when we get those good goods here."
Shopkeeper Hu said yes again and again.
But after he calmed down, he suddenly seemed to remember something, tilted his head, then looked at Lin Fufu and asked: "Miss Lin, I have heard of other smaller silver buildings and golden buildings in the capital a few days ago. There are a lot of good things, I wonder if these have something to do with the friends you know from the Northland?"
As soon as Lin Fufu heard what the shopkeeper Hu said, she understood in her heart.
The Wang family's aunt helped her expand her business in the capital, but the business effect was not good enough. The most important reason was that her contacts were not important enough.
The Wang family's aunt's contacts naturally did not dare to find such a large industry as Yinbaolou to cooperate with at the beginning, so they first looked for those smaller-scale Jinlou and Yinlou.
That's why shopkeeper Hu Da said this.
Seeing Lin Fufu smiled and said nothing, shopkeeper Hu Da's face was full of pain, and he stomped his feet on the ground fiercely, "Oh, it's all because my tricks are not bright enough!"
It turned out that shopkeeper Hu Da first heard people say that there were good goods received in some hidden gold and silver buildings in the capital, and he simply disdained them at that time.
But every industry has its own rules. When people say they have good products, it's one thing for their peers to disdain them, but they can't go up and say what's wrong with them.
You can't block other people's business!
At that time, shopkeeper Hu Da just dismissed the few hidden gold and silver buildings that reported the incident, and didn't even ask people to inquire secretly.
But only now did I finally understand that he was really involved in a big business!
"Miss Lin, you must help me!" After thinking about it, Hu Da made a deep bow to Lin Fufu again.
Seeing his attitude, Lin Fufu was very sincere, that means he was doing this business sincerely, and he was very happy.
But he still asked tentatively: "Shopkeeper Hu, I'm going to say my ugly words first, and other provincial capitals may have joined the people from the jade mine. It's just because the sky is high and the emperor is far away. You This side is at the feet of the emperor, so you are not afraid?"
"Oh, Miss Lin is joking!" Shopkeeper Hu laughed loudly, "Come, drink tea, drink tea."
Lin Fufu smiled and drank tea.
"To be honest, Ms. Lin, in our business, as long as the goods are really good, isn't it normal to take a little risk once in a while?" Shopkeeper Hu sat down after saying this, still smiling. : "Besides, we are only buying goods, and as for the way of buying goods, we haven't violated the law of Wei."
Seeing that he was so straightforward, Lin Fufu said all these words clearly, and the smile on his face deepened.
The shopkeeper Hu Da really wanted to make this deal sincerely, which is very good.
After saying a few more words, Lin Fufu stood up and prepared to leave.
"Miss Lin, please don't forget to help us set up a line between Yinbao Building and Jade Mine!"
Lin Fufu glanced at Shopkeeper Hu who looked hopeful, and nodded with a smile, "Don't worry, Shopkeeper, the Gospel will never be forgotten! But please keep the fact that I came to see you in your heart."
The implication is to keep him secret.
For shopkeeper Hu Da, he couldn't wait for it.
He nodded repeatedly in agreement.
"Miss Lin, don't worry! I won't tell anyone about this except my boss!"
Lin Fufu nodded, then walked out, walked around the second floor of Yinbao Building, and picked out three pairs of black pearl earrings.
In Dawei, black pearls were not very precious, but they were also expensive.
The waitress following Lin Fufu saw that Lin Fufu picked out three pairs of black pearl earrings in succession, her excited eyes lit up.
But she was afraid that Lin Fufu would be embarrassed if he didn't know the market price, so she kindly reminded Lin Fufu, "Miss Lin, these three pairs of black pearl earrings are of good quality. What's rare is that they are almost the same size. So this pair of pearl earrings cost eight hundred taels of silver!"
Lin Fufu nodded with a smile. The color is very translucent, the halo is very soft, and the pearls are round and full. Only the ancient environment with beautiful mountains and rivers can grow such fine black pearls.
A pair of eight hundred taels of silver is four hundred taels of silver for one pearl.
In the eyes of the poor, that is a sky-high price.
But in the eyes of Lin Fufu, he felt that the price was very cheap.
Although this black pearl is only ten millimeters in diameter, it is really not expensive to sell for four hundred taels of silver based on its flawless appearance.
What's more, the top part of this pearl earring is pure gold.
Although the gold is not heavy, it is gold anyway.
"Thank you for reminding me, I see." Lin Fufu smiled at the waitress and continued to look forward.
Seeing that Lin Fufu didn't care about the price at all, the waitress couldn't hide the joy in her eyes.
And the waitress who followed them and served other customers stared enviously at the waitress who served Lin Fufu.
"Miss Lin, most of the jewelry in front are the treasures of our Yinbao Building." Seeing that Lin Fufu went straight to the most expensive area, the waitress hurriedly reminded her.
"It's okay, let me take a look." Lin Fufu said lightly.
Lin Fufu looked at some emerald jewelry, and also some jewelry made of ruby, emerald, turquoise, but nothing caught her eyes.
She walked on.
A pair of golden pearl earrings brightened her eyes.
This pair of golden pearls is not big, at most nine millimeters in diameter, a little smaller than the three pairs of black pearl earrings she picked.
However, the pair of golden pearls are softer in luster, just like the essence, more translucent in color, round and full as if they were made from a mold.
Such a good quality is really rare!
And in Da Wei, golden pearls are more rare than pearls of other colors.
Lin Fufu was immediately attracted.
"I want this pair of golden pearls." She made a decision at once.
In her mind, what appeared just now was the voice and smile of her mother Chu, and her temperament really matched this pair of golden pearls.
Too bad she's gone...
But she still made a decision in a split second to buy the pair of golden pearls, as if the pair of golden pearls were just waiting for her to buy them.
"Ah, Miss Lin!" Seeing that Lin Fufu wanted to buy this pair of golden pearls, the waitress was startled, and after a while she stammered, "This is one of the treasures of our Yinbaolou Town Store..."
"Why, don't you sell your town treasure?" Lin Fufu asked with a faint smile.
If you really don't sell it, it's really troublesome.
"Sell, sell!" Shopkeeper Hu Da, who had been secretly watching Lin Fufu, came over immediately, "As long as Miss Lin likes it, our Yinbao Building will sell it!"
What he thought was that the jade bracelet in Miss Lin's hand was much more valuable than the pair of golden pearls, and he was not worried that she would not be able to afford it.
Besides, as long as she can really help the master and the jade mine in the north, what are these golden pearls worth
"Boss, what's the price for this pair of golden pearls?" Lin Fufu asked with a smile.
Shopkeeper Hu smiled and raised five fingers, "Five thousand taels of silver."
Lin Fufu slightly frowned, the price was acceptable to her, but it was expensive.
Ever since she helped Huangfu Jin start the jade business, she also learned all kinds of knowledge about gold, silver and jewelry.
She still understands the market, and she is also good at the valuation.
"Big shopkeeper, give me a real price." She smiled.
Shopkeeper Hu was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Lin Fufu to be so indifferent after he quoted the price.
It's just ordinary princesses and princesses who have taken a fancy to this pair of golden pearl earrings, and they all have different expressions on their faces after hearing the quotation.
Because pearls are not like jade, their color will fade after a long time, so many people are actually unwilling to spend high prices on pearl jewelry.
Therefore, this pair of golden pearl earrings has been placed on the second floor of Yinbao Building as the treasure of the store.
In fact, Master Hu still hoped that the pair of golden pearls would be sold as soon as possible.
"Miss Lin, shall we go to the counter to talk?" Shopkeeper Hu Da asked Lin Fufu graciously.
