Chapter 186
Chapter 186: A smile turns into a bitter face
That afternoon, Zhang Zhun finally met Shen Lingfei.
To apply the diplomatic language of later generations, the meeting was held in a friendly and harmonious atmosphere. The meeting was in Yangjiatun, inside the newly built brick and tile house of Yang Kaide. With the improvement of living conditions, Yang Kaide also moved from the original thatched hut to the spacious and bright brick and tile house. The hall was also fashionablely laid with ceramic tiles. Of course, this was Zhang Zhun's suggestion. People at that time did not know how to lay tiles on the ground, and tiles were usually laid on the wall.
Today is a rare festival, so the family is naturally reunited. Except for Yang Kaide, Huang and others, everyone else is here, and only Yang Ruifeng will not come back until dinner. By the way, there is another mouse, who may have to come back later. The guards and the navy are on holidays. Of course, the Intelligence Department cannot take a holiday, and they have to send additional staff to prevent accidents. If the Intelligence Department also takes a holiday, it will be troublesome.
When Zhang Zhun arrived, Yang Yinghan, Xue Zhidie, Chen Lingfei, Sisi and others were watching Yang Lingxue, and Yang Gansheng learned to write. Recently, Xue Ningying was very good at being a teacher. In addition to Zhang Zhun, she also recruited two more disciples, namely Yang Lingxue and Yang Gansheng. Yang Kaide naturally wanted to learn more about his daughter and son. Yang Kaide was naturally unlucky to learn more about his daughter and son. Yang Lingxue and Yang Gansheng gave a serious ceremony to apprenticeship, which was completely different from Zhang Zhun's half-baked apprenticeship.
Speaking of which, everyone yearns for scholars. The Ming Dynasty was a truly inferior dynasty and only a high-level scholar. If you want to make a name for yourself, you can only study. It seems that even if you make great achievements, you can only become generals at most. Only those who are from Jinshi can serve as ministers of the Ministry of War, assistant minister of the Ministry of War, etc. Moreover, all officials of the Military Preparation Dao also require that they be Jinshi. Military Preparation Dao controls the money and food of the army. Even a dignified general must be humble in front of the Military Preparation Dao officials. A small fifth-rank military preparatory Dao can easily grasp a general and deputy general. This is the difference between scholars and non-scholars.
When Zhang Zhun came in, he saw a young girl in the room, probably at the age of 18 or 19. The clothes she was wearing were not very conspicuous, but her expression was quite clever, and there was a faint taste of cunning. He knew that this woman must be a close friend called by Xue Zhidie from Jiangnan. Nowadays, women rarely show up in public, and even fewer people do business. Chen Lingfei probably ran out by herself because of some ulterior motives in the family. Running around is not a good thing for a girl.
Xue Zhidie introduced and said, "Her name is Chen Lingfei..."
As for Zhang Zhun, naturally, there is no need to introduce it. Chen Lingfei has already met Zhang Zhun.
Chen Lingfei's eyes flashed lightly, she looked at Zhang Zhun up and down, and said casually: "Master Qianhu, Xiaoying said, you like me very much..."
Zhang Zhun was slightly stunned.
I like you very much, very much?
The girls around them covered their mouths and chuckled with strange expressions.
Zhang Zhun said a little embarrassedly: "Did Miss Chen say two words missing?"
Chen Lingfei pretended not to understand and said, "What two words?"
Zhang Zhun coughed and said slowly: "I seem to have told Xiaoying that what I like is Miss Chen's money..."
Chen Lingfei smiled slightly and said with a sudden realization: "I thought sir..."
Zhang Zhun had to cough twice again, thinking that this woman is also a monster. Well, as long as she is related to Xue Zhidie, she can be called a monster. Apart from the monster, who would be friends with monsters? Fortunately, Chen Lingfei is not a person like Xue Zhidie. The first time she met, she just made a joke with Zhang Zhun and tried it casually.
Since I am doing business, I will naturally come to the point soon.
Zhang Zhun had sent someone to transport a total of twelve boxes of glass to Fushan City and handed it over to Chen Lingfei for verification. Ma Yi and others took apart the sealed boxes, uncovered layers of cotton cloth, and piece of pure glass appeared in front of everyone. Except for Xue Zhidie, the women present were the first time they saw the real thing, and they couldn't help but stand up and carefully stroked the freshly baked glass.
Chen Lingfei frowned and said, "The texture of these glasses doesn't seem to be very good..."
Zhang Zhun said calmly: "Miss Chen, this is the first time I have encountered your ability to lie with your eyes open."
Chen Lingfei said as if nothing had happened: "Okay, let's discuss the price."
Among these twelve boxes of glass, there are six boxes that are large, six boxes that are small, and each box is ten pieces. The specifications of large pieces are six feet long, three feet wide, and rectangular. The specifications of small pieces are three feet long, three feet wide, and square.
Chen Lingfei pondered for a moment and said, "There are ninety taels in small pieces, and the 200 taels in large pieces..."
Zhang Zhun frowned and then asked someone to seal the glass again.
Chen Lingfei hurriedly said, "Wait."
Zhang Zhun said dissatisfiedly: "Miss Chen, if you are not sincere, I will make a public auction. I think if it is a public auction, the minimum price of the small film will not be less than 150 taels, and the maximum number of the large film will not be less than 350 taels."
Chen Lingfei suffocated slightly.
If these glasses are auctioned publicly, the price will be very high. The biggest feature of Western glass is that there are very few large pieces. Therefore, the larger the glass, the more valuable it is. However, businessmen ask for prices everywhere and pay back the money. Since the price I offer is not suitable, let's talk slowly! How can I leave? I didn't say that I was willing to give such a small price?
Chen Lingfei said tactfully: "So, Master Qianhu thinks, what is the value of these glasses?"
Zhang Zhun suddenly said to Xue Zhidie: "I entrust you to negotiate the price with her."
Xue Zhidie was stunned for a moment and subconsciously said, "Me?"
Zhang Zhun nodded and said, "That's right, it's you."
Chen Lingfei said happily: "That would be the best."
She and Xue Zhidie are quite good friends, otherwise they would not be the word "close friend". Of course, they could have a good talk about the price. Even Xue Zhidie felt very strange. If you asked me to discuss business with her, I would be embarrassed to be serious with her, right? Could it be that Zhang Zhun wanted to give him a favor to the other party? Well, that's probably that.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Zhun added: "30% of the transaction volume is used to build a ship for you."
Xue Zhidie's face suddenly turned red, and all the original speculations were overturned.
shipbuilding!
She can finally build a ship!
To be honest, after being in Fushan City for so long, she always felt that she was doing nothing and had all her abilities, but she had no way to perform. Although she helped Yang Yinghan a lot and did a lot of things, she was helping! The things she helped do were not what she liked to do, nor was she good at doing. She didn't know how much she wanted to build a shipyard and supervise the construction of ships herself. However, shipbuilding requires a lot of funds and a lot of manpower and material resources. Unless she had the strong support of Zhang Zhun, she would have no way to start construction.
In the surprised eyes of everyone, Zhang Zhun said seriously: "Now, I formally appointed you to supervise the construction of Fushan Institute Navy, responsible for the design and construction of all warships and merchant ships. The fixed funds allocated to you are 30% of the sales of glass."
Xue Zhidie nodded vigorously.
Zhang Zhun finally truly trusted her!
The profit of glass is so large that it has 30% of its sales, so its shipyard can start construction quickly.
Chen Lingfei's smile was like a flower, but she immediately turned into a bitter face, and she was about to cry.
This Zhang Zhun!
He is indeed a ruthless person!
No one knows better than her that Xue Zhidie is so persistent and patient for her hobbies. She is a woman. The shipbuilding industry has always been a man’s world. Throughout the dynasties, there seems to be no female shipbuilding masters. Even if she is Zhao Baolai’s disciple, she cannot independently undertake the construction of warships. Only Zhang Zhun is so crazy. However, it is Zhang Zhun’s madness that disrupted all Chen Lingfei’s abacus. She dared to use her own head to ensure that Xue Zhidie would definitely be petty for herself in order to obtain enough shipbuilding funds.
Sure enough, Chen Lingfei immediately felt Xue Zhidie's aggressive gaze, and couldn't help but feel a little timid, and subconsciously said: "Xue Zhidie, what do you want to do? If you have something to say, don't do it randomly."
Xue Zhidie pursed her sexy lips and said meaningfully: "Of course I have something to say, are you still afraid that I will eat you?"
Chen Lingfei also subconsciously bit her lips gently and smiled helplessly. Well, she was still really afraid that Xue Zhidie would eat her. Who told her that she had been no match for Xue Zhidie since she was a child? Before the price war began, she was completely at a disadvantage.
Sure enough, when Xue Zhidie, who is familiar with the glass market, was really serious with Shen Lingfei, and Chen Lingfei was immediately overwhelmed. At the beginning, Chen Lingfei wanted to give a relatively low price to protect her profits as much as possible, but later, Chen Lingfei could only smile bitterly. Nothing else, Xue Zhidie knew the glass market in Jiangnan, and it was impossible for her to deceive the other party. As for her words, she was even more no match for Xue Zhidie.
In the end, the price agreed by the two was 250 taels per piece for small pieces, 250 taels per box, and 1500 taels per box, 1500 taels per box. The large pieces were 600 taels per box, 600 taels per box, and 3600 taels per box. All of them were 51,000 taels. According to Zhang Zhun's previous requirements, Chen Lingfei transported 3,000 shi of grain from Jiangnan this time, which was about 3,600 taels per box. After deducting this amount, all other numbers were paid in silver. If Chen Lingfei was willing, he could use more grain instead of silver, and the amount of grain per stone was 1,000 taels per stone was 1,000 taels per stone.
"Fifty thousand taels of silver are just within the range I can bear." Chen Lingfei's tone of speaking was a bit strange, as if she was mocking herself, and she didn't know what she was mocking herself. Maybe she was bullied by Xue Zhidie, but she couldn't get justice, so she could only mock herself and masturbate.
"Okay, don't be in shame. If you don't make ten thousand taels of silver this time, my surname will be yours. It's such a short distance from Fushan City to Songjiang Mansion, you can travel twice a month. You can earn 20,000 taels of silver every month. If you still think it's too little, I suggest that the glass be auctioned publicly, and the price is higher." Xue Zhidie interrupted her quickly.
Chen Lingfei could only be speechless.
Zhang Zhun's killer move was really amazing. Xue Zhidie ate her tightly. On the way to Fushan District, she had no idea how many times she had thought about how to lower the price with Zhang Zhun. She has always been very confident in her ability to lower the price. Chen Lingfei designed her lines in response to Zhang Zhun's various reactions. Unexpectedly, Zhang Zhun easily shattered all her plans with just one casual sentence.
Fortunately, it is okay to make 10,000 taels of silver on a trip, at least, it is better than doing other businesses and is very relaxed. You earn 20,000 taels a month, and you can get more than 200,000 taels a year. Moreover, Zhang Zhun meant to give her glass a specialty, which is not bad. At least, a few brothers and the others must be jealous of themselves. However, it has nothing to do with them anymore, so they can just be jealous of them.
Seeing this, Yang Yinghan felt that Xue Zhidie was really bullying the other party, so she smiled and said, "The business is over. Miss Chen can live in our house. Sister Die has been nagging you last night, so you should talk to her well."
Chen Lingfei said readily: "Okay!"
He turned his head inadvertently to look at Zhang Zhun, and said with some dissatisfaction: "I want to eat a lot! I want to eat all the money I gave up!"
The girls couldn't help laughing.
It’s really an alternative woman. Before and after negotiation, they are completely different!
Chen Lingfei glanced at Xue Zhidie and suddenly said, "Zhang Zhun, can I talk to you alone?"
Zhang Zhun nodded and said, "I happened to have something to talk to you alone. Let's go to the beach to talk?"
Chen Lingfei said meaningfully: "As long as Sister Yinghan doesn't mind."
Yang Yinghan blushed slightly.
Xue Zhidie spat and said, "You girl, you know how to tease others. When you get married, we will also tease you!"
Zhang Zhun took Chen Lingfei out of Yangjiatun. Next to Yangjiatun is the beach. The two of them came to the beach and walked slowly from left to right. In the afternoon, the sea breeze was blowing, gentle and charming. Such weather was actually very suitable for couples to stroll on the beach. Zhang Zhun unknowingly thought that when the economy became more prosperous in the future, he would set up a resort here to kill the money of Kaizi from all directions... Well, he was a little too unambition.
Chen Lingfei suddenly said, "Zhang Zhun, Xue Zhidie likes you, do you know?"
Zhang Zhun shook his head.
Chen Lingfei said: "You don't feel it at all?"
Zhang Zhun still shook his head.
Chen Lingfei said in disbelief: "You are a smart person, and it is impossible for you to not feel it."
