Chen Xin got Liu Wenshan's order and rushed to this huge earthen building early in the morning.

It was still early at this time, and there were hardly many people here. It was lonely, and the huge earthen building was like a ghost town.

As soon as he entered the earth building, a civil official greeted him: "Come, register."

register...

Chen Xin was taken aback.

Do you still want to register?

I just want to have a try, whether I can sell these silks.

He followed the clerk to a room in the tulou, with the words "Tulou Si" hanging in front of the door. When he entered, the other party began to ask Chen Xin's name, place of origin, and operating projects.

After they recorded it, they raised their eyes and glanced at Chen Xin: "Pay the deposit."

"Deposit?" Chen Xin was taken aback.

This is a bit excessive.

The official said: "For your business here, you can rent a facade for display. This facade is ten taels of silver a day, which is not expensive, but... if you want to operate in our trading market, you need to pay a thousand taels of silver." The deposit, when you don't want to do business anymore, you can come and claim the deposit back at any time with the proof. "

"This...why do you need a deposit." One thousand taels of silver is not a small amount, but... Chen Xin is a merchant, so he can't afford it. The question is why he is here to pay the deposit.

The clerk patiently explained: "You have rented a storefront here. Can this small storehouse bring all your goods here for display?"

"This..." Chen Xin's scalp was numb. This is a fact. My own goods are all in the warehouse. It is not easy to transport them all for sale, not to mention the need for people to carry them. The transportation cost is not Few, but also troublesome. Wouldn't it be bad if the goods didn't sell.

"If you have paid a deposit here, then even if you can open your business, you can directly display samples of your goods and conduct transactions directly. As long as your goods are authentic and the buyer is satisfied, we will send a special person to supervise this transaction , if there is no dispute, the deposit will never be used, do you understand what I mean? This method can save you worry and avoid the need to check the goods back and forth with the buyer when selling the goods. On the other hand, The buyer can also rest assured that since you have the deposit here and our trading market as guarantee, he can trade with you boldly and confidently, so everyone will be happy."

Chen Xin was dubious.

But... Although a deposit is required, it does greatly reduce the many procedures of the transaction.

The Chen family has been doing business with acquaintances in the past. Most of those who do business have a relationship with the Chen family for several generations. With this relationship, there is naturally enough trust between each other.

But now, it is a transaction with a stranger. To be honest, this is not buying an egg in the East Market and the West Market. Will hesitate, even he, the seller, is afraid of encountering a liar.

The only question is, the deposit of one thousand taels will not be cheated, he said cautiously: "Is the deposit really refundable?"

"It's absolutely fine, as long as you can guarantee that the samples you show are in line with the actual situation." The clerk seemed very confident, and added: "Open your eyes and see, the plaque in the trading market is built by His Royal Highness. It's clear, this is Fang Duwei's business, Fang Duwei dumped a house at will, and he didn't know how much one thousand taels, how could he lie to you for money?"

Chen Xin's expression tightened: "Fang Duwei..."

That is the master who eats people but does not spit out bones.

The civil official frowned: "In short, operate with integrity, and no one will deceive you."

"Okay." Chen Xin gritted his teeth in the end. Anyway, this batch of goods is rotten in his hands, and he really can't sell them. Such a large batch of goods has huge losses.

He ordered people to go back and fetch one thousand taels of silver.

Then, some contracts were signed, and there was a receipt for the deposit.

The clerk gave him a sign with the words "Jiajiahao" written on it.

He took the sign and came to a small doorway. It was just a small shop covering several feet, and there was almost no room for it. However, such a doorway was like a beehive in this round earth building, with thousands of people. indivual.

He was flustered in his heart, and always felt that... something was unreliable, if he hadn't believed in Mr. Liu, he would have been beaten to death and refused to come.

Inside the small door, there were a few simple shelves. He invited someone to take a few bolts of his own silk as samples and put them on the shelves.

Immediately afterwards, there was nothing to do.

Now that he has come, he will be at ease. Right now, he has no choice but to resign himself to fate. He had no choice but to take the The Wealth of Nations that he brought with him, sit down, and read it with his head bowed.

…………

It was light.

Chen Xin found that there were also some shops that were open near his front door, with plaques hanging outside, such as Xishan Coal Industry, Xishan Chariot and Horse Company, Xishan Glass Company, Xishan Cloth Industry, Xishan Jianye, etc...

Dare to feel... I have entered the den of thieves.

He shook his head.

But then, many merchants began to appear.

Many people came cursing.

Muttering in his mouth: "It's not a thing, the price has increased again."

"If you want us to come, you usually trade in Xishan, but now, you have traveled so far."

There are many merchants here.

There are everywhere.

After all, glass, chariots, houses, and anthracite are all special products of Xishan.

Other than that, no semicolons.

Merchants from all over the world have to come here from thousands of miles to buy these goods and sell them to all the governments in the world.

In the past, most of the merchants went to Xishan to trade, but this time, they were asked to come to this trading market.

Everyone is full of complaints, but they have to come.

They came in in twos and threes, and hurried past Chen Xin's shop.

More people didn't look at the shop at all.

On the contrary... Occasionally, one or two people, when passing by, glanced at it, but quickly looked away.

Just waiting like this, the entire trading market is very empty...

Chen Xin also felt that his interest was lacking, and he read the The Wealth of Nations again, and Chen Xin felt that he had some new insights.

But at this time, someone said: "The silk is not bad, how can I sell it?"

Chen Xin was stunned, looked up, and saw a merchant in a round collar come in, Chen Xin hurriedly got up: "This... this... I haven't asked for advice yet..."

"How do you sell it? It's slow and slow, and it makes everyone angry."

This person has a temper and seems very hot.

Seeing that he was impatient, Chen Xin thought for a while: "Five taels!"

Chen Xin seemed to have no confidence, his low price was three taels.

"It's not expensive?" The merchant said angrily, "Buy a hammer, why don't you tell me the real price."

Chen Xin's heart started beating.

Does this person really want to buy it?

This color...is not fashionable, no one in Beijing likes it.

He gritted his teeth: "Three taels and five dollars, starting from five hundred horses."

The merchant was delighted when he heard this, and seemed to be quite satisfied with the price. His eyes lit up, he took a piece of sample silk, touched it, and couldn't help saying: "This silk is very good, and the price... It's fair, if you lower it a bit, I'll take it all."

"All?" Chen Xin was shocked.

Especially when the other party was full of praise for the suit, Chen Xin's jaw would drop.

Sure enough... People from different regions have different views on suits.

He gritted his teeth: "Three, two, three, it can't be lower."

"You turtle, just now you said five taels, five taels you old bastard, how much money do you have?"

"1,300 horses." Chen Xin's heart was about to jump out, and he looked at the merchant nervously.

"Yes." The merchant nodded, and said directly: "I'll go to the payment office to pay the deposit later, when will you transfer the goods to me!"

Chen Xin suddenly had a throbbing feeling: "It can be done now, it can be done now."

The merchant didn't ask any more questions.

It was very refreshing.

He went directly to the trading department, and first paid the trading department a total of more than five thousand taels, without even batting an eyebrow.

This merchant seems to have come from another place. He originally wanted to buy a batch of glass to sell back, but by the way, he saw that the silk was of good design and color, and he was afraid that it would be profitable to ship it back, so he simply bought the goods together.

His silver is not given to Chen Xin first, but to the Trading Department first, and the people in the Trading Department are responsible for sending people to follow Chen Xin to pick up the goods. The bank note fell into Chen Xin's hands just now.

Chen Xin is like dreaming.

The goods that were originally unsalable were miraculously...empty.

He was a little confused, and counted the banknotes, one tael was not missing.

The most important thing is that in the process of trading, it is so easy.

You know, just one or two hours ago, he and the merchant were strangers, and even now, it is too late to ask the man's name.

But……

Develop new markets.

Chen Xin's eyes lighted up. Isn't this just to open up the market? People in the capital don't like such a suit, but it doesn't mean that other places don't like it...

He was holding money, but he refused to refund the deposit. What kind of refund is he going to get back? , and can be sold at a good price.

This shop, I have to lease it for a long time.

besides……

He shivered, Mr. Liu...

All of a sudden, his eyes were moist.

Mr. Liu is really talented.

He hurried out of the trading market, got into the carriage, and hurriedly said: "Go to Xishan, go to Xishan..."

Arrived at Xishan...

At this time, as the sun was setting, all the students in the academy left school one after another and had their own meals. It just so happened that Liu Wenshan's carriage and horses also arrived. Lung cracked: "Mr. Liu, Mr. Liu...Mr. Liu is a great talent. It turns out that this is the way of business. The villain... I have seen it."

However, he saw a figure, who prostrated himself at his feet with a plop, throwing himself to the ground!
