Chapter 135

Yu Zheng was the shopkeeper of the Linqing Branch of Xinyuan. After buying the twenty boxes of matches from Cui Xinxiao, they arranged for the Clippers to be delivered to Tongzhou in a few days, and then sent them to the Beijing General Number.

After getting the capital city general account, it arranged for free trials to be sent to the mansions of several old families. What happened later made everyone stunned, and the orders flew in like snow. Not only were there those old families, but also many powerful people who had acquainted with them. I even heard that this match was treated as a new thing and was presented to the palace by a certain marquis. Even the emperor and several empresses liked it very much, and ordered the eunuchs in charge to go out of the palace to buy it.

As a result, everyone couldn't sit still. He quickly sent a letter to Linqing and asked for large-scale purchases. You should know that the current market price in the capital is one tael per letter, and the powerful and powerful were willing to give a box of fifty taels! However, at this time, Cui Xinxiao's round trip to Jingjiazhuang had not yet finished running.

Looking forward to the stars and the moon, I finally waited for the 350 boxes. After quietly asking the people sent to follow Cui Xinxiao, Yu Zheng asked the semicolon to stabilize Cui Xinxiao for a few days, and took action himself and set off overnight to Jingjiazhuang.

With the guidance of the person leading the way, Yu Zheng got off the carriage in advance, as if he was passing by Dongerfang. When passing by the store, he pretended to find it casually. He pointed to the bulk matches placed on the counter to try it out and asked with a smile: "Brother, how do you sell this thing?"

The person who looked at the store was still Li Gan. Seeing Yu Zheng's attitude, he was friendly: "Old man, except those who live in Jingjiazhuang, matches are not sold in stock. One box starts at five taels and five cents per box." Qin Bai is still very credible. Since he had already told Cui Xinxiao, he raised the wholesale price by five cents.

"Then what I want is large?" Yu Zheng continued to ask.

"The price is also the price of large quantity! We don't have to worry about selling at all, we just have to worry about not having time to make it." The situation is still the case now. There are many people asking about it and few people buying it. Li Gan is also annoyed by the question these days. When he heard it, he thought that there was another curiosity, so he simply made a price at once. Anyway, there was not much quantity, so he just wanted three or five boxes.

"Oh! Brother. Then how much can you do every month?" Yu Zheng began to talk.

"I can't do much." Li Gan became alert all of a sudden. Because Qin Bai had instructed him not to disclose his output.

"That's it? Is it difficult to be this match?"

There is no need to teach this question, Li Dan can even yell: "Of course it's difficult. We have to arrange a large number of people to do it. Hey, old man, why are you asking about these?"

Yu Zheng smiled and nodded, thinking in his mind that there were two difficulties: one was the matchmaker's craftsman, and the other was that he needed a large number of people. He stopped talking nonsense, bowed and said goodbye, and then got into the car to Zhenwei Martial Arts Hall.

Sitting in the carriage, someone came soon after. The man came to the carriage and whispered: "Big shopkeeper, I've inquired about it. All of them are said to be a small business, and Big Head is a private mine. Maybe it's not as profitable as the tram I just did."

"Small business?" Yu Zheng sneered and thought for a while, "Small business is good! Have you asked who did it?"

"I heard that it was made by Bai Er, who was brave and victorious here. Bai Er was originally from Zhenwei and Feng Ye, but now he heard that he offended the He Mansion of the Grand Sima family, so he was driven out. So he had a hard time living in Jingjiazhuang and was short of money at hand."

"Oh?" After thinking about it, Yu Zheng ordered, "Let's go see Brother Sihai first."

Not long after, the carriage stopped at the door of Zhenwei Martial Arts Hall. Since the He Mansion had some business dealings with Xinyuanhao, he received a message from the first person, and Feng Sihai went out to greet him in person: "Defan, why are you here?"

"Haha, Brother Sihai, I will not enter the Three Treasure Hall without any trouble!"

"Please!Please!"

The two of them entered and the guest of the host sat down. Feng Sihai was a little surprised: "What should I do to make you condescend in person? In fact, sending a letter is enough."

"Haha. Our source number wants to increase the purchase of ironware. I wonder if you like it or not?"

Feng Sihai was overjoyed: "Welcome is here." But then it was a little strange. A large customer like Xinyuanhao who had a vast network of friends in Beijing and Zhili should go directly to He Mansion to talk to Grandma San. How could he find himself?

"Oh, that's it..."

Yu Zheng made up a reason, and then placed a big order. Both guests and hosts were happy and started chatting without realizing it. After chatting for a while, seeing that Feng Sihai had no suspicion, Yu Zheng seemed to ask casually: "Brother Sihai, when I entered the village today, I saw a kind of fire-induced object, which seemed quite interesting?"

"Oh." Feng Sihai did not doubt that he was, "That's called Match, and now there are many people using it in the village. If Brother Defan likes it, I will give you a few boxes before leaving."

Yu Zheng nodded with a smile: "I really like it. I'm going to tell you about it. We know many princes and marquis in Beijing. One of them likes this clever thing. I wonder if I can give up love? I can also give me a favor? I will give you a few matchmakers? Don't worry, I will back up a generous gift for Grandma and you. I will always come and go with you in the future. Don't worry, today's words can represent the despicable boss and the general manager. I will definitely not break this promise."

"So?" Feng Sihai didn't think this was a big deal. In this era, the status of craftsmen was very low, and it would be better to send a singer and dancer than to send them. Moreover, for those craftsmen, when they arrived at the Duke's Mansion or the Marquis' Mansion, it was a great thing for fish leaping on the dragon gate. Besides, I heard that this match could not make much money. It could be exchanged for friendship, and if the source number became a long-term customer, it would definitely be cost-effective.

Such a small matter does not need to be passed through the He Mansion, and Feng Sihai himself could decide. So after thinking for a while, Feng Sihai was about to nod. However, at this moment, he saw Ajian outside the door and kept winking at him.

I found that Yu Zheng also saw Ajian's actions. Feng Sihai accused him of guilt and then shouted loudly: "Bastard! Is there anything I can't wait for? Didn't I see that I'm accompanying Brother Defan?"

"No, no, no," Yu Zheng said politely, "Ajian is not a person who doesn't know the importance of the matter, but family affairs are important."

Of course, Feng Sihai knew that Ajian was not a reckless person, so he went down and said, "Wait for a moment, I'll go."

"It's okay. You go and do it first."
