Chapter 255: 20%

If they could be sold at the market price, the total price of these goods would probably be nearly 10,000 taels of silver. What Zhu Da was stunned was not the high value of these goods and the huge profits that would be brought after the transaction, but how many cases did Huairen County do to collect so much goods, which was shocking to think about it.

"...As for the price, how about 50% of the market price?" Jinguan Nian offered the price.

Hearing this price, Zhu Da, who had calmed down, sneered and said, "If this is the case, there is no need to negotiate, just sell it yourself."

Jin Guannian was not angry, and his attitude was even more respectful. He continued with a smile: "Master Zhu, these goods were also made by brothers, and the brothers had also paid them in it. The silver and pensions of the pensions could not be cheap. Besides, after the Tartars had a lot of trouble, there were a lot of caravans traveling from south to north, and the goods and specialty products of the Tartars in the south were higher. We wanted 50% of the price. Apart from 50%, it was not all that were made by Mr. Zhu. Mr. Zhu was also a good businessman. Last time he made 20% of the profit at one cost. Isn't it enough to do it this time? Why bother to compete with us for these small money?"

When they were bargaining here, Lin Gang and Lin Bantu often looked back at Chang Kai. Although they had a smile on their face, Chang Kai was very impatient. Of course, Chang Kai understood what Lin Gang was meant to keep looking back, but he was just worried that he would wink Zhu Da. Thinking of this, Zhu Da sneered in his heart, thinking that this young man had some ability to turn stone into gold, would he still use any hints to give me?

"Business without capital should not be said of capital. The money you work hard to provide is your own business. What does it have to do with me? If you sell this batch of goods in a small amount, you don't know when it will be sold. The whole batch of goods will be sold for more than 5,000 taels. You just want to sell them quickly to see the cash bank. But such bulk goods cannot be sold at a high price. Even if you follow the usual rules of doing business, it would be good for the buyer to give a 20% discount. Besides, I know that these goods are not clean, and you think others can't guess it. It's rare that they won't lower the price. What comes and goes, you have to give you 50% of the market price. How much can I have left? 50% of the market price is absolutely not enough!" After putting aside moral constraints, Zhu Da's bargaining is unambiguous.

Jin Guannian was still smiling. There were always a few rounds of business trips. He pinched his fingers, as if he was settled. He turned his head to look at Lin Gang and Lin Bantou. When he looked over, Lin Bantou turned his head. Everyone understood that when talking about this moment, Lin Gang was no longer willing to take responsibility, and he couldn't interfere. After all, he was talking about hundreds of thousands of ounces of silver. It would be fine if he talked about highs, but he would have to complain if he talked about lows.

"We are all busy with official duties in the yamen and don't know much about business activities. It's better for Mr. Zhu to offer a price and let us put it together." Jin Guannian asked with a smile.

Zhu Da pondered for a moment, stared at Jin Guannian and said in a deep voice: "Twenty percent, 20% of the price of the goods sold!"

When Jin Guannian, who had always been smiling here, immediately changed his face. Lin Bantou, who was sitting next to him, was shocked at first, then his face was full of anger, glared at Zhu Da angrily, and then lowered his head again.

If you answer normally, who dares to say such an unreasonable price? I am afraid that before the Jinguan Nian speaks, Lin Gang and Lin Bantu will jump up and get angry first. The threat of drawing swords is light. But if you think about the Fang family and the Yang family who were set fire to extinguish the house in the middle of the night, and Zhang Xunjian who was chopped on the street, you have to endure the anger.

Jin Guannian looked at Lin Banto. Lin Gang just lowered his head and was stared for a long time. He even turned to the side.

Seeing that his companions could not count on him, there was no one who could even cheer up the breath. Jin Guannian's facial features were distorted for a long time before changing to a wry smile. He looked at Zhu Da carefully. The room was not so warm, but Jin Guannian's forehead was filled with sweat in an instant, and he said to Zhu Da dryly: "Mr. Zhu, you have a great reputation in the county and outside the county. If you can't make a business, you will be in a good position. If you can't do this business, you won't make things difficult for Mr. Zhu, right?"

Zhu Da sneered and said, "These goods must be covered with blood. You are also qualified to say that the transaction is unsuccessful? But you don't have to mess with me with words. I won't force it to buy and sell it."

This "doesn't force buying and selling" made Jin, and Lin and the others breathed a sigh of relief. Jin Guannian stood up and pulled Lin Bantou who was sitting there motionless, and then said, "Since Mr. Zhu is so magnanimous, I will say goodbye first. If this business cannot be completed, the young people will have difficulties. Please ask Mr. Zhu to be strong."

The two of them stood up in fear, bowed and said goodbye, turned around and left. After taking a step, they heard behind them saying, "Who else can you sell to besides me?"

Only when Zhu Da was talking, but before he could clearly hear what he said, both of them trembled and couldn't stop trembling. Lin Bantuo even shouted to Chang Kai without hesitation: "Old Chang, I have never treated you badly over the years..."

"This batch of stolen goods has been stored in your hands for a while, right? There are many caravans coming and going before and after the disaster, and Wangjiatun is always very lively. Why didn't you take action at that time? Why didn't you take action when I bought commercial goods at a low price in the county town? You are not worried about risks, worried about causing trouble, worried that others will not trade fairly with you, and worried that others will target this piece of fat. Now I come to me, because there is no risk here, I am relieved that I can sell these goods here." Zhu Da asked a series of questions.

This series of questions concluded that Jin Guannian and Lin Banto stopped, and the indignation and fear on their faces turned into fear. After being told through, such a look would appear on their faces.

The atmosphere in the room was a bit awkward. Chang Kai, who had been standing next to him, laughed out loud. The three of them looked over. Chang Kai smiled and said, "Second Master, Lin Tou, don't blame Lao Chang for not talking to the yamen. Although I didn't know this batch of goods before, I knew that you were worried about how to take action. This one was worried about this, and that one was unreliable. He was afraid that everyone would steal it in Curry. You said that in our Huairen County, even the left guard next to him, are there anyone more reliable than Mr. Zhu? Then again, if this thing is not money, it is sold for money. Do you think this is the reason?"

Jin and Lin cursed in their hearts, thinking that Chang Kai, you are no longer your own person. You are almost the same as this kid, but they also admitted that Chang Kai’s words made sense and gave everyone a step.

At this time, Zhu Da smiled. He smiled and said leisurely: "I am in Huairen County, and you still don't want me to take care of such a big stolen goods?"

Before he finished speaking, Jin Guannian and Lin Bantu's face turned pale, thinking that they still had to force a buy and sell, but the next moment, the eyes widened and their faces changed. The expression on their faces changed from guilty panic to helplessness. The two began to smile bitterly, shook their heads and sat back again.

"Master Zhu, we are just stubborn. People are obsessed with money, but we forget the common rules." Jin Guannian said with a wry smile, his attitude much humbler than before.

What is the rule? The greater the strength, the more people will share. When their strength reaches a certain level, you must have a share of the business and shameful transactions on the ground. Otherwise, all parties in the business will have to worry about risks, either because of your ignorance, or because of you.

The county collects taxes. If the gentry and powerful people do not deal with them well, not only will the food be collected, but the tax collectors will be beaten, but officials will also be punished by the top. When private salt passes through the border and sells stolen goods, if there is no participation and protection of the gentry and powerful people, they will be vilified at any time and will be surrounded by servants and civilians at any time. Don’t say that you can’t make money and your life will be lost.

This is not the current rule. This is the rule that has been established for more than 100 years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty. This is the rule that has been unified by Emperor Shin-Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang to more than 2,000 years since the founding of the country. The imperial power does not fall below the county, and everything in the county is decided by the gentry and powerful people. So who are the largest gentry and powerful people in Huairen County now? It is Qin Juren and Zhu Da.

Who is the most famous and promising gentry in Huairen County? He is a Qin Juren in Qinchuan, a young Juren in his early thirties. This is considered a bright future and promising young man in the entire Ming Dynasty. Who is the strongest force in Huairen County? Zhu Da, who was just sixteen years old, was intimidated by his reputation. The tragedy of killing people in the whole county shocked everyone. He had more than 20 young men who dared to fight and kill. The entire Huairen County could not gather such a force. What made people even more powerless is that this gentry and this powerful man are not opposed to each other, but are one inside and outside, supporting each other. Both of them are stronger because of each other, and they have an intimate relationship outside of interests. They have experienced life and death and difficulties. Such a close relationship is impossible to take advantage of loopholes between them. Moreover, they also tied the whole county together with the matter of gathering the homeless wasteland.

There are such extravagant figures in the county who don’t want to let the other party make the decision, but they even want to bargain. This is really crazy. The officials and servants pay the most attention to common rules, but today they are confused and do such irregular things. Why don’t they smile bitterly and helplessly?

Since I have thought about this matter clearly, I will not have so much entanglement or calculations, and I have no other choice except to accept my fate.

"...Don't be greedy. If you keep these goods in your own hands, can you sell them at 20% of them? How long will it take to sell them to clear them? Don't count how much they are originally worth, but how much money you can exchange for..." Zhu Da said a few more words.

Anyone who hears these words will feel uncomfortable, but he has to admit that this is the truth. The reason why Zhu Da made it clear is that they would not have too much trouble in their hearts. Since the matter was agreed, Jin Guannian and Lin Bantuo did not delay. The two of them said goodbye and left. They could not make the whole decision with such a large amount of money and had to go back to the city to make a decision. Before leaving, they did not call Chang Kai together. The brothers settled the score clearly. They no longer wanted Chang Kai, a "outsider", to get involved in the business again, and now they were too lazy to do their skills on the surface.
