Chapter 228 Taking advantage

Since the original intention was to make money, why didn't he cooperate with the Baijiabao caravan instead of taking the risk of offending the Baijiabao caravan?

When the Baijiabao caravan ate meat, they would always bring him some soup, especially soup with meat, so why wouldn't he just have it?

Moreover, since the Baijiabao caravan dared to act like this in a lawless area like Junji Town, they must have something to rely on.

I heard that the Baijiabao caravan has an invincible White Feather Army.

If there were still people who had doubts before, after the two forces were destroyed overnight, I'm afraid no one would question it anymore.

Shopkeeper Qian: "When I do things, I always stick to the principle of honesty. If you don't believe me, go ask around, Manager Bai."

"Let's not talk about the distant past. Little Bai has a good relationship with Boss Tao. Her words can serve as a testimony for me."

Bai Duojin smiled: "Don't be upset, Shopkeeper Qian. I speak frankly only because I don't treat you as an outsider."

Tao Jiaren did tell Bai Tao about Manager Qian, but it was not Bai Tao who asked about it; she was the one who told him about it on her own initiative.

"Manager Qian, sometimes, we should go through the necessary procedures. Be polite first and then use force. If something goes wrong, no one can blame each other."

Shopkeeper Qian nodded continuously when he heard this. He was also a businessman, so how could he not know this?

The two quickly got back to the topic.

"Manager Bai, I'd like to ask, how long will it take for the accessories in this booklet to arrive?" The more exquisite the accessories, the longer it will take.

No matter how skilled a hairpin artist is, it is estimated that he or she would not be able to make a set of jewelry in a month.

Shopkeeper Qian wanted to order a few more sets, but he was afraid that the hairpin master would not be able to make them in time.

Bai Duojin: "All the accessories in the brochure are in stock. We don't have a lot, but we still have three or five of each."

Spot goods?!
This surprised Manager Qian greatly.

You know, most of the accessories in the booklet are extremely exquisite. How can this thick book contain all the goods in stock?

Perhaps it was because his expression had not been adjusted for a long time, Bai Duojin smiled and said: "Why are you so shocked? Our aunt likes beautiful things."

Shopkeeper Qian quickly came to his senses and nodded repeatedly.

Yes, with the strength of the Baijiabao caravan, there can't be only three or five hairpin masters. Rather than being surprised at the number of hairpin masters, it is better to be surprised that the Baijiabao caravan can have so many pearls.

After much thought, Shopkeeper Qian felt that the Baijiabao caravan must have employed a lot of pearl divers.

Knowing that there were items in stock, Shopkeeper Qian began to choose. But there was no ugly piece of jewelry that was listed in the catalogue.

After carefully selecting, he ordered about twenty sets, but after calculating the money, he reluctantly reduced the price by a few sets.

Although he had funds, he couldn't use them all to buy pearl jewelry.

As a businessman, Shopkeeper Qian knows too well the importance of not putting all your eggs in one basket.

After all, pearl jewelry is not cheap. If he can't sell them for a while, he will not be left with money to buy other goods.

There was 10,000 taels in the card before, but it was definitely not enough, so he deposited another 20,000 taels. When he counted at checkout, there were less than 3,000 taels left in the card.

"Oh, right." Shopkeeper Qian said a little embarrassedly, "I want to ask, where do you order the colored glaze used in so many shops under your caravan?"

He also went to the dessert shop, although he also felt that it was extremely luxurious to use such expensive glass to make a counter.

But on second thought, if his jewelry store could have one or half a cabinet made of glass to display jewelry, it would definitely take the store to a higher level.

By then, no other silver and jewelry stores on this street could compare with his.

"Do you want to buy it and use it in the silver shop?" Bai Duojin asked instead of answering. Seeing that Qian nodded, Bai Duojin said, "We purchased this colored glass from outside. As you know, colored glass is fragile and it is very troublesome to transport."

We can't say that the Baijiabao caravan has its own people who can do everything, otherwise it will easily attract attention.

Anyway, no one knows that these glass counters were brought by my aunt, so he can say whatever he wants.

Bai Duojin paused for a moment and said, "Our aunt said two days ago that she wanted to order some more to decorate other shops. If you want, we can bring them back for you along the way."

When Shopkeeper Qian heard this, he was overjoyed: "Thank you very much, thank you very much, I'll pay for the escort."

"That's nothing. Since we're working together, it's not impossible for me to buy some for you along the way. But it's a long way from Nanhai to Junji Town. It will take at least two months."

"We'll just charge you one thousand taels of silver for shipping."

The South China Sea?

When Shopkeeper Qian heard this, he quickly poured tea for Bai Duojin and kept thanking him.

The South China Sea is thousands of miles away, but he only charged one thousand taels for the escort fee. He got a great deal.

This is Junji Town. Last year, he recruited people to escort a batch of things from Qingzhou. He had to beg and plead with everyone before the escort agency had the courage to take the task. They charged him 1,200 taels.

"But, colored glaze is expensive, are you sure you want to..."

Bai Duojin didn't finish what he was saying, but Shopkeeper Qian knew what he meant. He nodded and said, "I don't want much. I just want something that can be used to install one or two display cabinets."

"Have you been to our dessert shop?" Bai Duojin asked.

Shopkeeper Qian nodded.

Bai Duojin: "Then do you see the big counter in the middle of our dessert shop? The glass needed for the counter would cost more than 70,000 taels."

If Bai Tao knew what Bai Duojin said, she would definitely exclaim what a bullshit.

The large counter of the dessert shop is 2.8 meters long, 1 meter wide, 1.35 meters high, and divided into 30 parts. She bought it second-hand from the mall for less than 500 coins.

Shopkeeper Qian smacked his lips in amazement, but thinking that colored glass was a precious commodity, the colored glass sold in the shops under the Baijiabao caravan was large in size and had no bubbles at all, so the price was not expensive.

Bai Duojin said this and added: "We purchased in large quantities, and the owner of this Liuli Kiln has a good relationship with our aunt's ancestors. He asked us to do something for Baijiabao, so he gave us this price."

"Yes, yes." Shopkeeper Qian nodded and thought, just say it.

He was very lucky, as he had caught the Baijiabao caravan, so he could buy the top-quality colored glass without having to worry too much about the escort along the way.

With the strength of the Baijiabao caravan, who would dare to offend them?

By then, the colored glass will be delivered to Junji Town intact.

"I, I don't think I can afford that much." After thinking for a while, Manager Qian said, "Please ask Manager Bai to help me see how many pieces of colored glaze I can buy with 50,000 taels."

He didn't know how much he wanted, so he simply gave fifty thousand taels. With the reputation of the Baijiabao caravan, they would certainly not cheat him of his glass money.

Besides, I was buying the colored glaze with the help of someone’s favor, so even if I made a profit of one thousand eight hundred taels of silver, it wouldn’t be a big deal.

"Okay." Bai Duojin: "I like straightforward people."

"Don't worry, since you trust me so much, I won't let you down."

"Within two months," Bai Duojin promised, "I will make sure your silver shop can also use the glass counter."

Here I am, typing in the hospital, it's a bit straining on my waist.
