Small supermarket welcomes visitors from all directions

Chapter 42 Big Boss Liu Jinyuan

In this way, the two of them drove Liu Fufeng's carriage, took two bags of goods, and went to their boss Liu Jinyuan's house in the city.

Because they were driving a horse carriage, it only took a little over an hour to arrive. Led by the servants, the two of them successfully met the boss Liu Jinyuan.

The two of them greeted respectfully: "Boss!"

“No need! No need! We are all family, just call me uncle!” Liu Jinyuan looked like Maitreya Buddha with a smile.

Of course, neither of them took it seriously. Liu Fufeng spoke first: "Boss, I came to you for something important."

Then Liu Fufeng told the story again with some exaggeration, and artistically processed what Liu Fugui had told him.

In his mouth, Liu Fugui instantly became a brave, resourceful, bold and careful worker who was devoted to his boss and loyal.

If Liu Fugui hadn't known that Liu Fufeng was talking about him, he would have wanted to cheer for this great man.

Boss Liu Jinyuan is a man who has seen the world after all. He was not led by Liu Fufeng, but he still felt very happy when his subordinates flattered him.

"Show me everything you brought and give me an estimate of its price."

Liu Fugui thought that the boss's estimate was the best. In fact, Liu Fugui didn't know the actual prices of these top-quality items, he just knew that they were very expensive.

Judging from the appearance of the supermarket owner, the glasses, mirrors and pearls are placed there randomly, which means that these things are not particularly valuable to him.

But you can't just fool around, because people know that these things are valuable here, and there may be two reasons why they don't tell you the price.

First, they were not from here, so they were not very familiar with the prices. Second, they wanted to test themselves, to see if they had embezzled money, and to see if they had the ability.

If the things they take back don’t satisfy them, there will be no loss for the supermarket, but the supermarket can simply refuse to give them the goods!
So if this matter is not done well, the biggest loss will be to myself, followed by the boss. The boss has always wanted to open up the trade route to the capital, so he wanted to buy a mirror at a high price last time, but the mirror turned out to be defective, so he had no choice but to withdraw.

So Liu Fugui wanted to get this done very much, and when he heard the boss want an estimate, he was of course delighted.

Liu Fugui took out a silver-framed mirror from his pocket, put it on the table and said to Liu Jinyuan, "Boss, take a look at this."

Liu Jinyuan put it on the table to look at it without picking it up. It didn't matter if he took a look at it. If this mirror was of top quality, then the one he saw last month was simply shoddy. There was such a huge difference between the two, there was no comparison at all.

Liu Jinyuan didn't mention the price, but asked, "How many did you bring?"

"Three!"

"How many more does that foreign businessman have?"

"There are still many more. He said that if I do a good job this time, he will give us the goods."

Liu Jinyuan pondered for a while, then said to Liu Fugui and the others, "If the foreign merchant only has a few of these, I will buy them at a high price, package them, and send them to the capital to sell them at a sky-high price. This way we will have both fame and money."

Liu Fugui and the other man nodded: "Yes! That's it!"

"The problem is that the foreign businessman still has a lot of it. He can sell it to us or to others. There is more! If there is more of it, it will not be precious anymore."

Liu Fugui asked tentatively: "Then boss, should we still buy it? Did we do something bad with good intentions?" Liu Jinyuan shook his head and said, "Not bad, I will do the same thing next time I encounter such a thing. You know, opportunities are hard to come by and never come back."

"If someone else encountered this kind of thing, they would definitely be in a state of panic, but I, Liu Jinyuan, have been around for so many years. I gave him all the goods, so the price is not too low. If it is too low, there will be nothing for us to do."

"As for how to ship the products? It's still the same as I said just now. Just disperse them. Send a few to the capital, a few to the south, and a few to the west. They can also be sent to small countries in the south. If there are any left, I will stockpile them and ship them out in a few years. Mirrors of this quality will not be a waste of money." Liu Jinyuan came up with a solution in just a few minutes.

Liu Fugui took out the remaining two. The quality was still so good. After all, they were products on the assembly line.

"Boss, don't worry. As long as the price you offer is similar, the foreign businessman will not look for other merchants. Otherwise, he will listen to my advice and come down the mountain with me."

"These three swords are temporarily priced at 200 taels each. I see what else is in your bulging bag. Bring it out to see."

Liu Fugui took out the white pearl necklace. Each pearl was full, large, and well-proportioned, emitting a bright white glow. Each pearl was a size 12 in.

Liu Jinyuan was instantly fascinated by this string of pearls, they were truly beautiful. In recent years, pearls have been sold at sky-high prices by the nobles.

As the saying goes, what the superiors like, the subordinates will like even more. In the past two years, pearls have become so hard to come by among the people.

Some noble ladies had a hard time finding two identical pearls to make earrings, let alone a whole string of pearls. Liu Jinyuan was well-informed, but he had never seen such top-quality pearls.

This time, she said the price without even thinking: "5000 taels. I can sell this string of pearls for 8000 taels with my eyes closed."

Strike while the iron is hot, Liu Fugui took out another pearl necklace. What was special about this one? It was pink and the same size as the previous one.

Liu Jinyuan's eyes widened. "A treasure! This can be considered a treasure. Only the top families have two of them. Ordinary people like us have never seen them. It is very difficult to find a bead of this color."

"I'm asking twenty thousand taels for this necklace, no higher. In fact, if I disassemble it and sell it, it will sell for a higher price, but I can't bear to do that!" Liu Jinyuan put it on the table reluctantly after taking a look at it.

"This thing has to be sent away quickly. No one should tell anyone about what happened today. This is not something we ordinary people should have. So I can't offer a higher price," Liu Jinyuan explained.

"I understand the importance of this matter and will explain it clearly to the foreign businessmen," Liu Fugui agreed.

Liu Fugui had never thought that the two chains that the supermarket owner picked up were so valuable. In fact, the owner said at the time that Liu Fugui thought they were about the same price as a mirror, but he didn't expect them to be so expensive, and if he was not careful, he might even be killed.

Liu Jinyuan said that this was also to make the two people understand the seriousness of the situation, and it was not meant to scare people.

"This thing cannot be left at home. If the news leaks out accidentally, it will bring about a fatal disaster. And when I send it to the capital, I will send it to those top wealthy families with great fanfare. How can those wealthy families miss my money? If they don't give me money, then they will give me something else."

"The prerequisite for doing so is that under the governance of the current emperor, the politics is clear and the officials are honest. Otherwise, I would have kept this matter to myself. Fortunately, we were born in a good era."

Liu Jinyuan also taught the younger generations of the two families a lesson. In this era, collective responsibility is practiced. If he becomes rich, you may not be involved, but if he commits a crime, no one can escape.

So over the years, Liu Jinyuan, his father and his grandfather have made a lot of money, and have also helped and supervised the younger generations of the family.

I’m afraid that you’ve earned billions of dollars, but will be implicated by others and lose everything, or even your life.
