Chapter 379 Tao Zhu Jin Bei
After asking Jia She carefully, he learned that this Taozhu Golden Shell was originally brought from the Western Regions by a certain Hu merchant. And because the pattern of money grew on the shell , it was very pleasing to the eye.
Therefore, once it entered the market, it was highly sought after. From the initial one or two taels of silver per shell, its value quickly appreciated to more than twenty taels of silver per shell, becoming a veritable "golden shell".
It is said that the more than one hundred coins in stock on the Hu merchant's hand have long been sold out, and now the Tao Zhu Gold Shell is in short supply.
Fortunately, however, Jia She found another way to buy a large number of Tao Zhu gold shells, an astonishing number of five hundred!
"My dear nephew, the other party wants to curry favor with our Rongguo Mansion, so he offered 15 taels of silver for each piece." Jia She said this, dancing with excitement, "You should know that in the market, a Tao Zhu gold shell is worth at least 28 taels of silver. If these 500 gold shells are resold, it will be a net profit of more than 6,000 taels of silver!"
Hehe~
There are only a hundred or so gold shells on the market now. Now that four or five times the stock has been released, it would be an understatement to say that the price has been cut in half, right?
Jia She probably saw that Sun Shaozong was somewhat disapproving, thinking that he looked down upon the profit of several thousand taels of silver, and hurriedly said: "I see what they mean. If I, uncle, bargain harder, maybe I can get it down to ten taels of silver per piece - then we only need to invest five thousand taels of capital, and we can make a net profit of nearly ten thousand taels of silver!"
Hehe~
Judging from this, Jia She probably wanted to get a large kickback. He estimated that the price offered by the other party would be about six or seven taels of silver, or even five taels of silver per coin.
If the purchase price is like this, it is possible to make a profit - of course, the premise is that there are really only these 500 pieces in stock on the market.
And what Sun Shaozong doubted most was this 'premise'!
However, seeing Jia She's excitement and questioning whether he has been deceived may not necessarily make him wake up, but may instead make him angry and ashamed.
Therefore, Sun Shaozong did not speak frankly, but smiled and said: "This is indeed a good deal, but I can't decide on the five thousand taels of silver. I still have to go back and discuss it with my brother and your son-in-law."
Jia She thought so too. This large sum of money still had to be decided by his son-in-law. However, thinking of his well-behaved daughter, he felt confident and said, "Well, go back and tell him first. I'll go and talk to him about this in detail when I have time!"
Just at this time Yuanyang came over and said that Jia Zheng had returned. The old lady asked Jia She to go back and discuss going to the Prince's Mansion to apologize. Sun Shaozong took the opportunity to say goodbye and took Xue Pan back to Wangjiang Tower.
As Jia She was walking back, thinking about Tao Zhu and Jin Bei, he suddenly saw Yuanyang's slender waist in front of him, with her plump and upturned buttocks, which kept forming arcs under her skirt as she walked. Each shape made it difficult for him to control himself.
"mandarin duck."
Jia She hurried a few steps, originally wanting to walk side by side with Yuanyang, but he really couldn't bear to see the scenery under her skirt, so he followed closely behind her and said with a chuckle: "When I make this money, I will ask mother to marry you, how about that?"
Yuanyang's body stiffened, but then he immediately quickened his pace and ran into Jia's grandmother's yard like flying.
"This little bastard is actually shy, ha, ha, ha..."
Looking at Yuanyang's hurriedly running away, Jia She laughed triumphantly.
The book does not elaborate.
However, Sun Shaozong hurried back to Wangjiang Tower and asked around, but found out that Prince Zhongshun and Uncle Zhao had already returned home. The dozen or so private rooms on the second floor were already occupied by the rich and powerful from various families in the capital.
Sun Shaozong hesitated for a moment and did not go straight to the private room where Feng Ziying was. Instead, he asked the shopkeeper and found his way to the "Huansha Pavilion".
"Lord Sun."
The two servants guarding the door of the private room saw that it was Sun Shaozong who had arrived and hurriedly bowed to him.
Sun Shaozong nodded and ordered, "Call your son-in-law out. I have some official business to tell you."
One of the slaves agreed and pushed the door open to the inner room. Not long after, the door opened slightly and two drunken teenagers rushed out, cursing, "It's that blind fellow who wants to see our eldest brother and dares to put on airs outside?!"
As he said this, he rolled up his arms and sleeves and was about to rush towards Sun Shaozong.
What kind of people does this guy usually associate with?
Sun Shaozong sighed silently, raised his hands, pinched the heads of the two young men, and pushed them gently. The two men fell back like gourds.
There was an uproar in the room. These drunken playboys were looking for trouble for no reason, not to mention that someone actually came to their door?
So they started shouting:
"You thief, you actually dared to do that!"
"Brothers, grab your weapons!"
"Where's my knife? Where's my knife?!"
Seeing the chaos, someone suddenly shouted: "Quiet down, you guys, even if you fight side by side, it's still useless!"
As he was talking, the man also arrived at the door and bowed reluctantly, "My lord, you are looking for me, but is there anything you want to tell me?"
This person is naturally Qiu Yunfei, the number one playboy in the Criminal Law Department.
Seeing that his eyes were still clear, Sun Shaozong raised his chin and said, " Close the door first."
Qiu Yunfei immediately turned around and shouted, "What are you standing there for? Close the door!"
At this time, his younger brothers finally knew who the visitor was. Facing a tough guy like Sun Shaozong who could defeat a hundred people, who would dare to make a scene?
So the two who had just gotten up from the ground hurried forward and closed the door.
Sun Shaozong then asked, "Have you heard of Tao Zhu Jin Bei recently?"
"Tao Zhu Jin Bei?"
Qiu Yunfei scratched his head and said uncertainly: "I seem to have heard someone talk about this thing, but I can't remember the details."
"Then ask..."
Sun Shaozong was just about to ask him to investigate the matter to see if there were any other playboys involved besides Jia She.
Who would have thought that just as he started talking, the enemy's servant next to him asked with shining eyes: "Sir, do you also want to buy Tao Zhu Jin Bei?"
Sun Shaozong was stunned and asked curiously, "How come you knew about this?"
"To be honest!"
The noble servant said proudly, "There is a steward in our mansion who has a way to buy this thing - I also spent thirty-seven taels of silver to buy twelve pieces, and I am keeping them at home waiting for them to make money."
It turned out to be a scam!
Before Sun Shaozong could ask again, the slave took the initiative to sell it, saying, "Sir, if you want to buy it, you'd better hurry up. The price has changed every day in the past few days. I heard that it has been sold for five taels of silver per coin."
"Five taels per piece?"
Sun Shaozong questioned, "Didn't they say the price has risen to 28 taels per coin?"
"Oh!"
The slave sighed and said, "You are talking about the best quality ones. How can servants like us afford them? The price of the middle quality ones is this! I heard that there are ordinary quality ones on the street. You can buy one for a few coins."
Tsk~
Sun Shaozong originally thought that those scammers came up with this Tao Zhu Jin Bei just to deceive a few smart-headed playboys, but now it seems that this net is much bigger than imagined!
