Chapter 80 The transaction went well
As soon as the next day was dawn, the caravan members woke up in Zhou Wu's loud voice.
Quickly organize the fleet, prepare the goods to be sold today, and decide who to set up the stall. Others will take care of the carriages and goods left in the hotel.
"Hurry up~! It's getting better, it's getting bright!"
Amid Zhou Wu's urging, three carriages drove towards the stall area of this city with a full range of goods.
Changsun Sheng learned his lesson and never sold those sensitive goods this time. Even fine salt will only be sold in small quantities as the finale.
So, in today's stall, except for the small items collected in Kevin's territory, there are only three types of floral cloth, pottery, and wine!
By the time the three carriages arrived at the stall area in the city, there were already many stalls here. This was because the place they lived was relatively close to this place. Otherwise, when they arrived, I guess others would have closed the stalls!
Soon, the three stalls were set up, all next to each other, with floral cloth, pottery, and wine storing in turn, and the wine was also opened a small jar so that the aroma of the wine would drift away with the wind and attract customers.
After a while, many customers stopped in front of the stall, looking at these exquisite goods, smelling the aroma of wine, and starting to bargain!
"This flower cloth looks so beautiful and has good quality. It feels so rough to touch. One meter and one hundred copper coins are very cheap!" Xia Guo merchants sold in bad local language.
A middle-aged woman opposite the merchant was a middle-aged woman. After hearing the words of the merchant in Xia Kingdom, she shook her head and bargained: "One hundred copper coins are enough for me to live in a month. You can only buy some flower cloth and fifty copper coins. If you don't have it, don't buy it!"
When the merchant from Xia State heard this, he hurriedly said, "There are too few fifty copper coins. We have worked hard to transport them. This is not enough. At most, you can buy one rice of flower cloth. I am giving you a wooden bowl. What do you think?"
The woman shook her head and said, "It's still too expensive. If you buy such expensive floral cloth, you will only give me a wooden bowl and add some things!"
In fact, this middle-aged woman was already tempted. She just suppressed the price so hard, and she wanted to get some cheap products. This was the first time she saw such a good quality product and would never miss this opportunity.
When the merchant of Xia Guo heard the woman's words, he knew that the business was about to complete and said, "That's it, then I'll give you another wooden cup. If this doesn't work, then I have to stop selling it!"
After hearing this, the woman probably reached the limit of the other party, so she said, "Okay, that's really stingy. Give me two rice cloth. Remember, I'll give me two wooden bowls and two wooden cups!"
When the merchant from Xia Guo heard that the other party placed an order, he smiled and said, "It's so sir, I'll pack it for you now. Is it this red flower cloth?"
Seeing the woman nodding, the merchant of Xia Guo took out a half-meter-long ruler, measured it all over, and asked the woman to look at it. After the other party confirmed again, he folded it upright and drew a line with the ruler, then cut it down along the line with scissors, folded it a few times, and handed it to the woman.
"Okay, come on, your cloth!" After the merchant handed it to the other party, he took two wooden bowls and wooden cups from the carriage beside him, and handed them to the other party, saying, "This is the wooden bowl, wooden cup for you!"
The middle-aged woman touched the red flower cloth in her arms with satisfaction, took out a purse, took out two parchment papers from it, and handed them to him. The merchant of Xia Guo took it and saw that these were two pieces of securities of one hundred copper.
After confirming the businessman in Xia Kingdom, he said, "I will receive you two hundred copper coins, and I will welcome you to come again next time!"
This parchment securities were discovered only after coming to this city. It seemed to be issued by a large cross-regional business group. You can find the store of the business group to exchange for copper coins with this securities, and there is no handling fee!
Apart from the lack of handling fees, the most important thing is that the anti-counterfeiting is done well. If someone commits fraud, they will be punished after being discovered by the business group!
It is precisely because of this convenience and guarantee that this kind of securities will soon be circulated. Although it is not popular all over the mainland, it is still very influential in this southern region!
"Haha~ You are really good at doing business. Depending on your appearance, you have never seen it before. Where did you come from?"
When the middle-aged woman saw that the transaction was completed, she looked at the appearance of the people in Xia and was very curious about gossip.
The businessman in Xia State laughed and said, "It's okay, it's okay, I just make a living from expensive places. All of us come from the south, so it's normal that we haven't seen it before!"
After doing transactions in this bustling city for most of the day, the caravan still obtained a lot of information.
For example, there are not just such people in this world. There are people from the northern Ice Field with white skin, big nose and lots of hair; there are also people from brown sand living in the desert to the west. But the most are people in front of you who are similar to yellow people!
Therefore, there have been many people in this city. When they entered the city, the guards did not question these obviously different merchants!
When the middle-aged woman heard that the merchant from Xia Kingdom came from the south, she became even more curious and asked: "Don't there only three small territories in the south? Why are there other people?"
When the merchant of Xia State heard this question, he thought about it. The answer was not within the confidentiality range and replied: "We are from the south to the south!"
The middle-aged woman widened her eyes and said, "Wow, you came from the other side of the mountain. Isn't it a wonder? I said why haven't I seen someone like you before!"
The two of them were politely speaking. When the merchant of Xia Guo saw that he had come to business again, he accused him of guilt and stopped caring about the middle-aged woman, but continued to do business.
Changsun Sheng collected various information in a low-key manner. He also heard the conversation between Xia Guo merchant and the middle-aged woman, and summed it up in his heart.
"It seems, judging from the tone, this middle-aged woman is not a simple ordinary civilian. She is at least middle-level in this city!"
Just think about it, if it weren’t for someone with small assets, they wouldn’t have bought these luxury goods that are quite high-end than ordinary people!
Fortunately, when I came to this city, the wealth of this place was a bit incredible. Changsun Sheng thought that it was only a little better than Kevin's territory at most, but after a day of transactions, Changsun Sheng admitted that he underestimated the people in this world!
What he didn't expect most was that securities similar to paper currency were born in this place. Unlike the credit currency of Xia Guo, this so-called securities are guaranteed by the wealth and reputation of a business group!
The main civilization of this world uses two types of coins, gold and copper, as general currencies, and the exchange ratio is as high as 10,000!
There is no intermediate currency as a transfer, only these two currencies! In the case of each territory serving its own government, not being subject to its own jurisdiction, and without a unified regime, there is actually a monetary system that unifies the entire continent!
This is a bit interesting!
