Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1941, Prosperous Ceylon Island

At Ceylon Port at the southwestern tip of Ceylon Island, the Oyster slowly moored to the shore, and many passengers who had already wanted to go ashore eagerly disembarked.

On the deck of the ship, Liu Dazheng was looking at the Ceylon Port in front of him with great interest. The entire port was huge in scale, no less than Tianjin Port, Songhu Port, and Crescent City, which are well-known ports in Ming Dynasty.

In the huge port area, every wharf is extremely busy here, with all kinds of flags flying on the moored ships, and the wharf is also extremely busy, with dock workers loading and unloading goods, wagons and cars transporting goods, etc. Wait, lively, bustling, noisy, busy.

Looking at the urban area in the distance, it is endless, and there is no end in sight at a glance. The spacious concrete roads crisscross and extend to the end of the field of vision.

Here in the bustling port area, many high-rise buildings stand on the ground, and the huge Chinese characters on them tell everyone the business houses these high-rise buildings belong to and the business they are engaged in.

On a hillside in the distance, the luxurious governor's mansion was built halfway up the mountain. The mansion group with white as the main color is hidden among the dense trees, looming.

This is the headquarters of the Western United Commercial Bank, the most prosperous, busiest, and largest city in the Western Region, Ceylon City!

"Sure enough, it is a bustling and bustling city, and it doesn't look much worse than our Daming's Tianjin."

Liu Da couldn't help admiring, such a beautiful city, well-planned, bustling and lively, along the way, such a bustling city is rare.

"Compared with Tianjin, there is still a big gap. Tianjin has a population of several million, and there are countless large and small factories, workshops, commercial firms, etc. Although the city of Ceylon is also very good, the population so far is only [-]. It’s only [-], but it still can’t compare with Tianjin.”

Tao Xing on the side smiled and shook his head.

"That's true, Tianjin is not an ordinary city."

Liu Da nodded, and then said, "I'm going to visit Ceylon Island. I'm going to visit the Governor of Ceylon tomorrow. I may have to rest here for a few days."

"It's okay, son, I'll be waiting for you here, if you want to go, come and contact me at any time."

Tao Xing also said hastily when he heard it.

This business trip to the South African colony, it doesn’t matter whether you do it or not, anyway, it’s business on the side of the firm, and the higher-ups also know their mission this time. Serving Mr. Liu’s family in front of them is the most important task. Everything else is secondary.

"Well, thank you for your trouble."

Liu Da also hastily expressed his thanks.

"this is necessary."

Tao Xing hurriedly returned the gift, this Liu Da was really just like his father, very easy-going and polite, and it was not like he had never met some other young masters.

Some are far inferior to Liu Da's family in terms of identity and status, but they are very arrogant and domineering, and the whole world revolves around him by boat, making all kinds of rude demands.

There is still a huge gap between people.

Liu Da and Chen Xue got off the boat with two nannies, seven or eight maidservants and a dozen escorts, and went straight to the best hotel on Ceylon Island.

After waiting to get settled in the hotel, I didn't even bother to rest, so I went straight to the jade and gemstone commercial street in Ceylon Island, and went to see the gemstones and jade here first.

The Baoyu Street in Ceylon City is several miles long. It not only gathers gemstones and emerald merchants here in Ceylon Island, but also goods produced in the entire Western region can be bought here. Pearls, corals from the South Seas, ivory diamonds from Africa, etc.

In addition to these valuable goods, there are also various businesses dealing in these goods such as cotton, cloth, grain, ironware, spices, etc. here.

There are as many as a thousand large and small commercial firms here, and any one that comes out is an extremely powerful large commercial firm. The Daming First Bank also opened a branch here, and it is the largest branch in the Western region. Transfer transactions, loans, etc. of several million taels of silver.

"It's really lively. There are too many big and small jade and gem shops here. You have to look at flowers."

Coming to Baoyu Street, Chen Xue's eyes widened slightly when she saw jade, emerald, pearl, agate, and coral shops on both sides of the road. This woman likes these shiny things.

I just found a jade shop and walked in. There are all kinds of jade and jade products, such as rings, pendants, bracelets, pendants, fingers, jade buttons, ornaments, pillows, etc. You can see all kinds of jade and jade products. People's eyes are blurred.

"Didn't it say that Ceylon has jade from Myanmar?"

"The jade here is so ordinary, and the gems and pearls here are also ordinary."

After wandering around the store, Chen Xue was not satisfied with the products in the store. She originally thought that she would buy as many as she could. At that time, someone could send it back to Grandma Xiao Jing, or give it to her natal mother and mother-in-law. My sister-in-law sent some in the past.

But the goods in it turned out to be ordinary goods, and they couldn't be sold at all.

Especially compared with the things I packed at the bottom of the box, there is no comparison. Grandma Liu Da and those stuffed by Liu Da's mother can instantly kill the most expensive ones here.

"It seems that this lady is also knowledgeable."

Hearing Chen Xue's words, the boss Liu Chengqi also walked over with a smile. When Liu Da and Chen Xue just came in, he noticed that he was just busy entertaining a regular customer.

Just seeing them at the first glance, he couldn't help but praise what a handsome couple, and then carefully looked at their clothes and the maids and attendants behind them, and he knew that this was a big customer.

"The goods displayed in the showcase of this small shop are of course ordinary goods. If you want to buy some high-quality goods, you can go to the VIP room on the second floor. I will order someone to bring some high-quality goods over."

"Hmm~"

Liu Da nodded slightly, and went up to the second floor under the leadership of Liu Chengqi.

The second floor is very elegantly decorated, it looks like it is specially used to receive distinguished guests, and soon a waiter served the best tea, and Liu Chengqi also brought a few plates of high-quality emeralds, gemstones, pearls, and agates. .

"Haven't you asked your son's name?"

"My surname is Liu. This is my wife, Mrs. Chen. This time, I also passed by Ceylon Island. I heard that Ceylon Island produces high-quality gemstones. At the same time, there are jadeites from Burma coming here, so I came here specially to have a look."

Liu Da said with a smile.

"Mr. Liu has come to the right place. This Ceylon Island is the commercial center of the entire Western region. You can buy any commodities and goods you want to buy here."

"Jade, emerald, pearl agate, etc. are also the source. Not only are they of good quality, but they are also cheaper."

Liu Chengqi said with a smile.

Here, Chen Xue carefully looked at the goods Liu Chengqi brought out, and she could only say that they were relatively ordinary goods, so she was not satisfied and said: "Boss Liu, these are also ordinary goods, are there any good ones?" Fine goods?"

If you want to send it back as a gift, you will naturally have to get it out, and this ordinary product will definitely not be out of your hands.

"Oh, these are not in your eyes yet."

When Boss Liu heard it, he was slightly surprised. The two people in front of him seemed to be hard to fool. The goods he brought out now were considered high-quality goods, but the other party still said they were ordinary goods. Obviously this vision is extremely high.

"These goods are really mediocre, and you can't sell them."

Chen Xue also said bluntly.

"Two wait a moment~"

After thinking about it, Liu Chengqi decided to take out his treasure of the town store. Today, he met a big customer, and he estimated that he could make a lot of money.

Soon, Liu Chengqi came out with a red tray. Several boxes were placed on the tray, and he gently put it on the table. Then he opened the box and put a pair of imperial green bracelets, two top sapphire necklaces, A jasper hairpin is displayed.

"This time it's not bad, but it's not the best. The color of the imperial green bracelet is a bit off, and the sapphire is a bit smaller. The hairpin should be made of leftover materials, but it's not bad. "

"How much money, I want it."

After Chen Xue read it carefully, she nodded slightly, and she could still sell it, but she could only send it to her two sister-in-laws, and it was not enough to send it to Liu Da's grandma and mother.

"Hmm~"

"This pair of bracelets is [-] taels, and the two sapphire necklaces are [-] taels of silver. This jasper hairpin is considered as a gift for you."

Liu Chengqi saw the heroic look of the other party, he really met a big customer, and he was about to wrap up a few treasures of his own shop all at once.

And the other party obviously knows the goods. Although the goods of his own are all good goods, there is still a certain gap between them and the top-quality goods.

After thinking about it for a while, he also quoted the price. This price can obviously make a lot of money, but there is no random extravagant asking price.

The identity of the other party is obviously unusual, and he is relatively young. If the slaughter is too ruthless and he is found in the other party's house later, then he will be in big trouble.

"Okay, I'll take it all."

As soon as Liu Da heard it, he agreed without hesitation, not even intending to bargain.

"."

"Which family's young master is it? Eighty thousand taels of silver. There's no counter-offer?"

When Liu Chengqi heard this, he was also slightly surprised in his heart, the other party really didn't treat money as money, and didn't even pay back the price.

Soon, the other party's servants took out a large stack of bank notes, [-] taels of silver notes, eight stacks in total, and one stack of [-] taels of silver. After carefully checking the bank notes and confirming that there was no problem, He also sent the other party out respectfully, but saw the other party walking towards a big jade shop. Obviously, the other party wanted to buy some good jadeite.
