The next day, Shen Fengming brought a box to Jiang Yunzhu.
Jiang Yunzhu opened the box and saw that it was neatly packed with silver bills. These were silver bills from Jinheng Silver House, the largest bank in the capital, and could be exchanged anywhere.
"This?" Jiang Yunzhu took a quick look and thought that the banknote might be worth two hundred thousand taels. Was Shen Fengming just going to give it to her like that
"You need money to buy goods. Let Yang Sheng collect the money slowly. Spend this first." Shen Fengming said. He said it casually and only explained the matter of Yang Sheng's money. It seemed that he had not considered whether it was appropriate to give so much money to Jiang Yunzhu.
Jiang Yunzhu looked at the banknotes with mixed feelings. She seemed to have a lot of things to ask Shen Fengming, but she felt that there was no point in asking.
"Okay," she said. Since he trusted her so much, she would keep it.
The three of them had already discussed and divided the work yesterday. Shen Fengming would be responsible for purchasing the fleet, Jiang Yunzhu would be responsible for purchasing the goods to be sold, and Yang Sheng would be responsible for manpower.
In the afternoon, after packing up, Jiang Yunzhu went out and headed straight for the Risheng Chamber of Commerce.
If Jiang Yunzhu wants to buy a large quantity of goods, she definitely can't go to the market. The Sunrise Chamber of Commerce in the capital is a place for bulk transactions. It has luxurious decoration and elegant environment. There seems to be no goods here, but the goods traded here every day account for more than half of the total transactions in the capital.
Turning left is where the Sunrise Chamber of Commerce is located. People are coming in and out here, but it is not noisy at all.
Those who come in and out here are all wealthy people, so it's naturally not like a market.
Jiang Yunzhu got off the carriage and was about to walk inside when three people came out.
"Miss Jiang, what a coincidence." Lin Ting'an said in surprise when he saw Jiang Yunzhu.
Jiang Yunzhu wondered if she had not checked the almanac before going out today, how could she have encountered this
In fact, it’s not a coincidence. These days, Lin Ting’an often comes to the Risheng Chamber of Commerce. If Jiang Yunzhu also comes, they will meet sooner or later.
Jiang Yunzhu went out to meet guests today. She was wearing a light purple crepe skirt with exquisite workmanship, a pearl tassel hairpin on her head, and a white jade bracelet on her hand, which made her look even more radiant.
Jiang Yunxiu stood behind Lin Ting'an. Seeing Jiang Yunzhu like this, she seemed to see the young lady of Anping Marquis's Mansion in her dream. At that time, she was so radiant, but she was now covered in dust and dirt.
Jiang Yunxiu clenched his teeth and stared at Jiang Yunzhu.
Jiang Yunzhu felt her gaze, but didn't look at her or pay attention to Lin Tingan, and walked straight into the Chamber of Commerce.
"Miss Jiang!" Lin Ting'an said in a deep voice.
Jiang Yunzhu pretended not to hear.
Lin Ting'an's face turned cold and he reached out to grab her wrist.
At this time, Shiliu blocked Jiang Yunzhu at an incredible speed, her round eyes with pupils slightly erected, staring at Lin Ting'an like a wild animal. At the same time, her hand grasped something at her waist. If Lin Ting'an dared to come forward again, she would not be polite to him.
Lin Ting'an realized something was wrong, stopped and looked at Sixteen.
Lin Qing behind him immediately stood in front of him and confronted Sixteen.
The two sides are on the verge of a fight.
Jiang Yunzhu had already walked over.
Lin Ting'an knew that Jiang Yunzhu had made up her mind to ignore him. He withdrew his hand and looked at her back with a cold expression.
"Sister." Jiang Yunxiu suddenly spoke at this time. She hated Jiang Yunzhu, but she knew that if she could call her at this time, Lin Tingan would definitely look at her with higher regard.
Jiang Yunzhu heard her call, but didn't stop and went straight into the Chamber of Commerce.
Jiang Yunxiu's face twisted.
Sixteen followed Jiang Yunzhu, and only Lin Tingan and the other two were left there, and all three of them looked unhappy.
At this time, a carriage came from the other side of the street. The curtain of the carriage was opened, and Xiao Liyu's eyes were red, as if she had just cried.
"Let's go back to the palace." She said to Lin Tingan.
Today she left the palace with Lin Ting'an. Nominally, they were going to the White Horse Temple to burn incense, but in fact, Xiao Liyu went to the Pacification Office. Lin Ting'an knew about it, but he didn't care and came to the Risheng Chamber of Commerce by himself.
The two agreed to meet here and then go back to the palace together, as if they had really gone to the White Horse Temple today.
Seeing Xiao Liyu like this, I knew that things were not going well for her. And the same was true for Lin Ting'an.
Lin Ting'an nodded, then went back to the palace with Xiao Liyu. Neither of them spoke in between.
Jiang Yunxiu followed behind, sometimes thinking of Jiang Yunzhu's radiant appearance just now, and sometimes looking at Xiao Liyu's luxurious carriage, feeling extremely angry.
What happened just now was just a small episode for Jiang Yunzhu. At this moment, she had put it aside and concentrated on chatting with the merchants, asking about the goods they had and the prices.
Soon, she had a certain understanding of the current market conditions.
Just then, "Boss Jiang?" a male voice asked in surprise.
Jiang Yunzhu turned around and saw that it was Boss Luo.
"It's really Boss Jiang. I thought I was seeing things just now." Boss Luo said. Without a certain level of strength, you can't enter the Sunrise Chamber of Commerce. Although the restaurant opened by Jiang Yunzhu is doing a booming business, it doesn't seem to be qualified enough, so he was surprised to see Jiang Yunzhu here.
Jiang Yunzhu was naturally qualified to come in as she had Shen Fengming's 200,000 taels of silver notes with her.
Jiang Yunzhu smiled and said, "Boss Luo." She was just about to go find him.
"This is my friend, Boss Du. He's in the tea business." Boss Luo introduced Boss Du to Jiang Yunzhu, and then introduced Jiang Yunzhu to Boss Du. "Boss Jiang, the owner of the Shiguang Private Restaurant."
"It turns out to be Boss Jiang. I've heard of your name for a long time." Boss Du said.
"Boss Du, you're too kind." Jiang Yunzhu said.
"Hey, everyone in Beijing knows your restaurant now. The food is amazing. It's a pity that I can never get a queue when I want to go there." Boss Du said half-seriously.
"Next time I'll reserve a seat and take you with me." Boss Luo joked.
The three of them smiled and understood each other.
The three of them chatted for a while, and Jiang Yunzhu asked about Boss Luo's glassware, and seemed to want to buy some from him.
"If Boss Jiang wants it, I can give you some." Boss Luo thought that Jiang Yunzhu only wanted it for use in the restaurant, so he said generously.
Jiang Yunzhu wanted to talk to Boss Luo for a moment.
When they came to one side, Jiang Yunzhu told him her idea. She wanted to buy a large number of glass products. As for the purpose, she did not hide it from him. She planned to build a fleet to sell those glass products overseas.
But Boss Luo can rest assured that her fleet is going to some new lands and it will definitely not affect Boss Luo's business.
Boss Luo was skeptical. If it was as she said, this would be a good business that would come to her doorstep. But Jiang Yunzhu, set up a fleet and sell it in new land
Does she have that much money? Besides, the sea is extremely dangerous, and going to a new place is extremely dangerous. Even if she has money, it will be useless.
Jiang Yunzhu didn't explain too much, just said, "Boss Luo, just sell the things to me. As for how to sell them, it's my business. We can write a contract, and I won't take away your current business."
Boss Luo was very tempted, but he let out a long sigh.
"Boss Luo, are you in trouble?" Jiang Yunzhu saw something and asked.
Boss Luo hesitated to speak, and finally just said that he would think about it.
Jiang Yunzhu didn't insist on buying Boss Luo's colored glass. She just thought his colored glass was better fired and would be easier to sell after buying it. After he said that, she didn't force him and said goodbye and left.
After she left, Boss Du came over and asked Boss Luo what was going on.
Boss Luo hesitated for a moment and said a few simple words.
Boss Du was also quite surprised as to why Jiang Yunzhu suddenly wanted to buy so much colored glass. "It's a good business, but our workshop might have to change its name, so how can we sell things to her?"
Speaking of this, Boss Luo was very angry.
Lin Ting'an had planted so many mulberry trees in Wuling County, and after coming to the capital, he also wanted to build his own fleet. However, he did not have the Qilin Guards and General Yang's soldiers as crew members, and he did not want to rashly open up new shipping routes, so he planned to directly acquire the business of Boss Luo, Boss Du and others, including the workshops, people and ships, and then expand the business, which would be simple and quick.
The prospects for maritime trade are very good now. Of course, Boss Luo and Boss Du don’t want to sell it, as they have spent countless efforts to build it up.
But they won’t sell it. Lin Ting’an is the eldest son of the Anping Marquis’ Mansion, and it is said that he is also connected with the Sixth Prince. They are just ordinary people who suddenly made some money by doing business. Even those old wealthy businessmen look down on them, let alone Lin Ting’an.
It is precisely because they have no backing that Lin Tingan dares to do this!
He seemed to have also approached those old wealthy businessmen, but it was for cooperation. For them, it was acquisition.
It was obvious that they were being bullied, so how could Boss Luo and Boss Du not be angry
But there is no point in getting angry, as the people will not fight against the officials.
"Brother Luo, who was that Censor Zhang you mentioned last time?" Boss Du suddenly asked. They were also actively looking for asylum, and Censor Zhang was one of them, and they had already found a clue.
"He asked for one hundred thousand taels right away. Besides, he's just an imperial censor. Do you think he would offend Lin Ting'an for us?" Boss Luo snorted.
After hearing what he said, Boss Du also became discouraged.
The two were silent for a moment. Did they really want to give up such a good business to Lin Tingan
Suddenly, Boss Luo asked, "Can Boss Jiang help us?"
Boss Du didn't know what he was talking about. How could Jiang Yunzhu, a restaurant owner, help them
Boss Luo's eyes lit up, "There's something I didn't tell you just now. Boss Jiang just told me that she wants to open up a new route.
I don't quite believe it.
But what if it is true? Think about it, what kind of force dares to open up a new sea route! "Boss Luo became more and more excited, and he wanted to find Jiang Yunzhu immediately.
As long as she could help them, they were willing to sell things to her cheaply.
Either cooperate with her or give her shares in their business, as long as she doesn't try to swallow them up like Lin Ting'an did.
After hearing what he said, Boss Du felt that there was some truth in it.
"Brother Luo, take me with you." He said quickly. Last time, Boss Luo didn't take him with him, which made him regret for a long time. He couldn't leave him behind this time.
