Chapter 17: Buy and Leave
…
"Spot refers to goods that can be handed over on the spot, while futures can only be handed over on a specified date. Brother Qian, didn't you say that the goods need to be transferred and can be handed over ten days later?" Wang Shouzhe casually spread the knowledge to him.
"It makes sense. When brother Shouzhe said this, I understood the difference." Mr. Qian perked up, rolled his eyes, and whispered, "Brother Shouzhe, these five thousand bags of insecticide powder of yours are definitely not Prepare yourself. Could it be that you have found a new business opportunity?"
"Haha, Brother Qian said it was a new business opportunity." Wang Shouzhe smiled as he served tea and drank, "I help your company clean up its inventory, and I also get a small profit from it. It's a win-win situation for both parties. Brother Qian, Give me a honest price.”
"Hahaha, cooperation is a win-win situation. What brother Shouzhe said is really interesting, so I won't bother with it. In that case, I'll give you a 10% discount on these 5,000 bags of insect exterminator powder, a total of 4,500 dry gold coins. .”
"four thousand!"
"Four thousand and two is the lowest, brother."
"Four thousand two is four thousand two, but I will use the reputation of the Ping An Wang family to pay the current payment." Wang Shouzhe said calmly, "One month later, I will deliver the four thousand two hundred pieces of dry gold. "
Manager Qian was stunned for a moment, but then he smiled and said: "This is feasible, but we have to make a contract. If the payment cannot be paid by then, our firm has the right to use any means to recover the payment."
No matter how depressed the Wang family is, it is still a Xuanwu family and still has some wealth. If just one [Fenggu Farm] is sold, it will cost at least tens of thousands of gold. As long as there is a contract between the two parties, the powerful Qian's Trading Firm has many ways to recover the debt.
"Brother Qian doesn't talk about the contract, I have to draw up the contract." Wang Shouzhe said with a serious face, "I have already contacted the merchant ship. In three days, I will send someone to your bank's warehouse to carry two thousand bags of insecticide powder. In ten days, it will be The second batch. If your bank defaults and refuses to deliver the goods or fails to deliver them, you will have to pay us three times the payment as liquidated damages."
"Brother, please rest assured. Reputation is the foundation of our hundreds of years of business at Qian's Trading Company." Mr. Qian said with a very solemn expression, "No matter what, we will deliver the goods on time and in quantity."
"I trust your bank's reputation, but this transaction is of great importance to our little Ping An Wang family." Wang Shouzhe also said with a serious face, "I can rest assured that the contract is written in black and white."
"If that's the case, then write it down." Boss Qian didn't think there was any reason for him to breach the contract, and it was just a transaction of several thousand dollars, and that was all that mattered to the entire Qian family.
It took the two of them a full hour to clearly implement all the terms of the contract despite Wang Shouzhe's critical attitude.
When both parties signed the contract and received the contract, Mr. Qian was already sweating profusely. He wiped his sweat and smiled bitterly: "Qian has been in business for 20 years. This is the first time that he has seen such detailed contract terms and meticulousness. Wording. But then again, such detailed contract terms can avoid unnecessary disputes in the future, and it is an eye-opener for Qian and he can learn a lot."
Haha~
Wang Shouzhe just smiled, what does this mean? Some complex business contracts on earth are far more than a hundred times as rough as this kind of contract. To a layman, it is like reading a book from heaven.
After finally getting the contract, a big stone fell in Wang Shouzhe's heart.
Although based on his understanding of Qian's Trading Company, even if the contract is not so detailed, they will not violate their credibility. The reputation accumulated over hundreds of years is the most valuable thing for a business firm.
As for sending experts to exterminate families for this little money, that's even more impossible.
Although his Longyan Patriarch is short-lived, he is still a veteran Lingtai Patriarch who came from Zifu Academy, and no one knows what cards he has hidden in his hands. Once a wave breaks out regardless of life, it is very likely to take away a person in the Lingtai realm.
After weighing various reasons, Wang Shouzhe decided to take the risk. There is no way, the Wang family is too poor, so poor that even a "little Pei Yuan Pill" is calculated. If this continues, it will only fall into a vicious cycle.
The only person I feel sorry for is probably the money boss.
In his middle age, he was only a small manager of a branch in a remote area. He obviously did not come from a high position in the Qian family, which has deep roots. The branch manager is very likely to let him take responsibility for this wave of loss-making operations.
"Brother Qian, it's a pleasure to cooperate with you this time." Wang Shouzhe stood up and left, then whispered, "If nothing else happens, I will give my brother a great achievement in the near future."
Manager Qian was stunned, and then he laughed and said: "Thanks to my brother's good advice, I'm here to see Brother Shouzhe off." While talking and laughing, Manager Qian sent Wang Shouzhe directly out of the door.
After leaving Qian's Trading Company, Wang Shouzhe's mood suddenly became very happy. In three days, as long as three days later, he would be able to significantly alleviate Wang's financial crisis.
"The head of the family."
The two generals who had been guarding the door led their horses over and greeted them respectfully.
"Wang Zhong, Wang Yong." Wang Shouzhe said with a smile, "I haven't been out for a long time. Come and have a nice walk around the Acropolis with me."
"Yes, head of the family." The two generals responded respectfully, leading their horses to accompany Wang Shouzhe as they walked around the acropolis.
When Patriarch Zhou Xuan was alive, the Wang family had forty-seven generals at its peak, among whom the one with the highest cultivation level reached the ninth level of Qi Refining Realm.
Today, the Wang family only has nine generals, and the highest cultivation level is only at the fifth level of Qi Refining Realm.
House generals are different from domestic servants in that they are no longer slaves but vassals, but they are also different from outsiders who are contracted to hire like guests.
Most of the family generals are close confidants trained within the family. They have a higher status and treatment in the family, but they do not have the freedom to come and go at will. They are born as family members and will die as family members.
Their fate, birth, old age, illness and death are all tightly tied to the master's family, and they both prosper and suffer. It is precisely for this reason that some families often use collateral or concubine children to marry very outstanding family members. Firstly, the binding is tighter, and secondly, it can improve the family bloodline.
The nine generals of the Wang family today are all generals who were personally trained by ancestor Zhou Xuan. The descendants passed down from generation to generation are extremely loyal.
"Wang Zhong, remember that your youngest son is already seven or eight years old, right?" Wang Shouzhe asked casually, "Has his Xuanwu qualifications reached the first level?"
Wang Zhong hurriedly followed up and replied: "Thanks to the family master's concern for Quanzi, that boy took part in the qualification test this spring, and the result was low-grade C. Now he has entered the clan to learn enlightenment and has begun the stage of warming up the meridians."
As he spoke, the corners of his mouth slightly raised into a smile, obviously very satisfied with his son's qualifications.
Xuanwu qualifications are first divided into high-grade and non-qualified ones. Whether one can reach high-grade qualifications is extremely important, as it represents whether one has the potential to be cultivated. Among the lower-grade qualifications, they are divided into four levels: A, B, C and D. To be rated as low-grade C is already considered the second level, and it is worthy of the family's efforts to cultivate it.
"Sure enough, a tiger father has no dog son." Wang Shouzhe praised, "Teach him well, and he will be better than you in the future."
"Thank you, Master, for your kind words." Wang Zhong smiled so much that wrinkles formed at the corners of his eyes. He was thirty-six years old this year and had given birth to two sons, one older and one younger. All of them had high-level Xuanwu qualifications. The eldest son is already fifteen years old. He will be an adult in one year and will be able to serve the family as a servant. The younger son's talent has reached the lower level C level, and he has entered the key training sequence.
On the other hand, Wang Yong, another general next to him, looked a little embarrassed. He was about the same age as Wang Zhong. He married a woman from the Wang family's collateral line and gave birth to a son and a daughter.
His son, Xuanwu, failed the qualification test and could only study literature. He is now seventeen years old and working in Canzhuang. My daughter is only six years old and has not yet been tested for Xuanwu qualifications. But even if Xuanwu aptitude is detected, she is still just a girl.
"Wang Yong, you should seize the opportunity in the last few years and work hard with your sister-in-law to give birth to another child." Wang Zhong joked with a smile, "Maybe the timing will work and you will give birth to a low-grade, second-class boy."
"Go, go, go!" Wang Yong waved his hand impatiently, feeling a little gloomy when this topic was mentioned.
The three of them wandered around Changning Acropolis, and Wang Shouzhe's memory of Changning City gradually became clearer. The permanent population of the entire city was approximately 150,000 to 60,000. There are many old Xuanwu families living there, among which the Changning Xu family is closer to the Ping An Wang family.
But after all, they were just relatively close. The difference in size between the two parties was getting bigger and bigger, and they were no longer a family on the same level. Therefore, Wang Shouzhe had no plans to visit the head of the Xu family.
In addition to running traditional farms, the Xu family in Changning also has its unique special industry mainly focused on silk cloth mills.
The cotton and linen cocoons grown and produced throughout the Changningwei area were supplied to several workshops of the Xu family in Changning. They produced cloth and silk and sold them throughout the prefectures and counties, making a lot of money.
At the same time, the raw cocoons produced by [Xinmao Silkworm Village], one of the pillar industries of the Pingan Wang family, were supplied to the Changning Xu family.
