Chapter 631 Working for Mother 4
US$700,000 can be said to be Liulichang's largest business since the founding of the People's Republic of China. Who would have thought that he only purchased one piece of paper. Not only Li Xinyue did not expect Bao Zixuan to be so heroic, but even the well-informed shopkeeper Li did not expect that the buyer did not counter-offer. You even have to buy a $50,000 Langhao pen. Do you want to buy a lifetime pen at once?
Shopkeeper Li: "No problem, I'll ask someone to prepare it right now."
Bao Zixuan didn't waste any time and instead issued a Hua Xia Bank check for US$850,000 to the other party. The grandfather and grandson didn't know what to do, and were worried that this Xiangjiang man was a liar.
Seeing the expressions of his grandfather and grandson, Bao Zixuan smiled and said that there is a Huaxia Bank in front of him. You can cash the check before shipping the goods. After hearing this, the two felt relieved and asked Bao Zixuan to rest in the store while the clerk served tea.
Heiyun Group's foreign exchange business in mainland China will be settled by Huaxia Bank. After all, only Huaxia Bank has business dealings with Xiangjiang.
After the two people arrived at the bank, the bank staff couldn't believe their eyes when they saw the account number and signature on the check. Not only because of the huge amount, but also because of the account and signature.
Fortunately, they all received professional training and knew that Bao Zixuan, the richest man in Xiangjiang, was in Kyoto, otherwise it would have been easy for problems to arise.
He quickly asked the president for instructions. After all, such a large amount of business was rare, and it was also a check signed by Bao Zixuan.
The president of the bank smiled after seeing the grandfather and grandson and said, "Old sir, my surname is Wang. I am the president of Hua Xia Bank Kyoto Liulichang Branch. How did you get this check?"
Shopkeeper Li didn't expect that he would alert the president, and it was a liar to stump the young people in the store. But it doesn’t look like it! Otherwise, they will definitely ask for things to be taken away first.
Shopkeeper Li: "I am the shopkeeper of Rongbaozhai. This is the payment that the young man paid to our store just now. Is there something wrong with it? Or is this check a fake?"
Hearing what shopkeeper Li said, President Wang quickly explained: "There is nothing wrong with the check and can be cashed at any time. You can rest assured on this. I just want to know if the buyer is still in your store!"
The grandfather and grandson were relieved when they heard that there was nothing wrong with the check. It seemed that this young man was really capable.
Shopkeeper Li: "Still in the store, you have to wait until our check is cashed before you can pick up the goods and leave. This is the rule."
After hearing this, President Wang quickly asked someone to handle the business, and there was no requirement to exchange it into Chinese currency. After all, he just heard that the girl in front of him wanted to study abroad, which can be said to be a green light.
President Wang: "I wonder if the old gentleman can take me to your store with him. I want to visit the people in your store."
When doing business in the Liulichang area, you must use Mr. Wang. How dare you refuse this request. At this time, both the grandfather and grandson were curious about the identity of the young man. It seemed that he was really a big shot.
Shopkeeper Li: "What's wrong with this? We'll go back after the business is completed."
At this time, Bao Zixuan was drinking tea in the shop. When he saw the grandfather and grandson leading a middle-aged man, he didn't realize what was going on. But these have nothing to do with him. Bao Shaofu is only interested in Empress Li's Chengxintang.
Bao Zixuan: "Have you cashed the check from shopkeeper Li? Can you give me the goods?"
Shopkeeper Li: "I'll make arrangements right away. This is President Wang of Hua Xia Bank. I heard that you were still in the store and wanted to come over for a visit. It seems that your identity is not simple!"
President Wang is less than 50 years old and has worked at Hua Xia Bank for many years. It can be said that he is still very thoughtful. He knows that Bao Zixuan must provide good service when he comes to Liulichang. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
President Wang: "If you didn't see the check and didn't know that Mr. Bao was coming to Liulichang, the shops here don't believe in checks. Huaxia Bank can issue a letter of credit to Mr. Bao. As long as you have the letter of credit, you can go to Huaxia Bank to withdraw money. In this way, you don’t have to wait any longer when purchasing items, and you can leave immediately after payment is completed, mainly because I don’t want to waste your time.”
Bao Zixuan didn't expect that the president would react like this after seeing the check. He seemed to be a considerate person. No matter how you say that the other party is here to express kindness and facilitate you, you still have to thank him.
Bao Zixuan: "Thank you, President Wang Zhou Dao, for your attentive service. From now on, I will use Hua Xia Bank's letter of credit when purchasing items in Liulichang."
Upon hearing this, President Wang quickly handed over the 5 million Huaxia coins and the 1 million US dollar letter of credit he carried to Bao Zixuan, and at the same time said: "I came out in a hurry this time and didn't prepare too much. You can use these first." Liulichang Shops here trust the letters of credit issued by Hua Xia Bank and can pay them on the spot."
"If it's not enough, you can call me at any time and I can deliver it to you right away. The service of our Liulichang branch will definitely satisfy you."
After receiving the credit certificate, Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "Thank you, President Wang."
When Peng Yifei took his things and walked to the next house, President Wang was still silent in the conversation. Mr. Bao always uses the letter of credit from the Liulichang Branch of Hua Xia Bank to purchase items. It seems that the day when he will become famous is not far away.
Seeing that President Wang, who was considered a figure in Liulichang, wanted to fawn over this young man, whose status was definitely very prominent.
Shopkeeper Li: "President Wang, I have left. I didn't dare to ask this question at first, but I really want to know. Can you tell me who the other party is?"
After all, he was in someone else's shop, and it was Shopkeeper Li who showed him the way before he caught up with Bao Shoufao. Since he has left anyway, it doesn't matter if we talk to him.
President Wang: "Since Shopkeeper Li asked, I will tell you. But please keep it secret, otherwise it will be difficult for me to explain."
Shopkeeper Li: "President Wang, please rest assured. I'm just out of curiosity."
President Wang: "That young man just now is Bao Zixuan, the boss of Heiyun Group, who is known as the richest man in Hong Kong. There should be no counter-offer when you made an offer just now. That's because in our eyes, US$850,000 is a huge sum of money, but in Bao's case, the richest man But there is nothing in his eyes. The other party is conservatively estimated to be worth more than 100 billion U.S. dollars, and he has invested in many large projects in mainland China."
Shopkeeper Li's curiosity was satisfied when he heard that the item was actually sold to the richest man in Xiangjiang.
Pen, ink, paper, inkstone and seal. Now that you have pen, paper and seal, you must buy ink and inkstone next. The richest man on the road would not look down on it, so Peng Yifei took him to Yidege, a century-old shop that is very famous for making ink in the world.
Ittokukaku is a local traditional handicraft of Kyoto City. "Yidege" is famous for its ink production, with a production history of more than 100 years. The product has bright ink, five colors, smooth writing, moderate concentration, strong fragrance, easy to dry after writing, suitable for peeling and mounting, strong water resistance, never fades, little sedimentation, does not irritate the paper, suitable for all seasons, and has the characteristics of ancient ink wait.
During the Tongzhi period of the Qing Dynasty, a scholar named Xie Songdai went to Beijing to take the exam, but his name failed Sun Shan. He felt that studying ink was too time-consuming and delayed his answer. He thought at the time that if he could produce a kind of ink that could be used directly for writing, which would save time and effort, wouldn't it be possible to "use one technique for the whole world"? So after many experiments, he finally used oil smoke and other auxiliary materials to make ink with the same effect as ink blocks. Once on the market, it was welcomed by literati. In the fourth year of Tongzhi, Xie Songdai opened the first shop for the production and operation of ink at No. 44 Liulichang, Kyoto. The name of the shop was "Yide Pavilion", and he wrote a plaque by himself and hung it in front of the door. This is the origin of "Yidege" ink.
After Xie Songdai passed away, he passed the shop to his disciple Xu Jiebin. Xu Jiebin is from Shenxian County, has a flexible mind and is good at management. Under his leadership, the production and operation scale of "Yidege" continued to expand.
It can be said that the head of Yidege at this time is the Xu family. Peng Yifei mentioned it to the other party once before, but was rejected by the other party. After all, Mr. Bao is the treasure of each store, and of course he will not sell it easily.
Unlike Rongbaozhai, Yidege's economic situation is much better. After all, it is said that the company is a big business and has factories in many places across the country. It is considered a relatively powerful antique shop in Liulichang.
Many things can be done by people below, and the purchase of valuable antiques, calligraphy and paintings can be left to Peng Yifei. But now I am helping my mother choose gifts, and I have to do it myself.
This is a matter of heart, although I know that my mother may waste some historical artifacts. But as long as she is happy, it doesn't matter. Objects are produced for people to use. Although Li Yulin is not a calligrapher or painter. But she has a very rich son, so all this is not a problem.
