Chapter 186 An Invoice
"Boss Shi, are you alright?" Liu Xiangqin was surprised to see Shi Mingtao's face pale and dumbfounded. Boss Shi, are you swollen?
Shi Mingtao thought to himself, do I look like I'm fine?
I'm about to freak out too.
Forcibly suppressing the panic in my heart, I said cautiously, "Don't dare to hide it from the two of you, what about the cotton cloth, it is true that there is a little stock, but not much..."
"How many?" Liu Xiangqin asked.
"It also looks like a few thousand catties, and there are one or two thousand pieces of cotton cloth." Shi Mingtao said hurriedly.
"If I only want this little bit, I don't need to come to you, Boss Shi. Everyone knows that people don't speak secretly, what do you mean by hiding it like this? Are you afraid that we will not succeed in robbing you?" Liu Xiangqin wondered .
Shi Mingtao thought in his heart that he was afraid that you would rob me!
Who is your elder brother? I don't believe you don't know!
What I do is a shady business. If he cheats on me, I really have nothing to reason with.
It's useless to find the queen mother, because she will go to Yanyun to calm the chaos and go to the birds... Before leaving, she wants to make another big fortune.
How unlucky.
If Xiao Chen knew that he had such a notoriety now, he would be very surprised...
"Boss Shi, we are here sincerely to do business with you, so you don't have to worry about it, and I don't think this is a one-time deal, and we may cooperate for a long time in the future." Liu Xiangqin said and found out A bank note and a bill of lading were placed on the table.
"Here is two hundred thousand taels of silver. You can prepare the goods according to the order, but you have to ask Boss Shi to help us deliver them outside Yanyun Pass. The winter in northern Xinjiang is coming. If the soldiers don't have enough warm clothes, how can they fight with the enemy?" What about combat? So please, Boss Shi, deliver the goods as soon as possible."
"So Master Xiao really wants to buy it?" Shi Mingtao let out a long breath, feeling quite embarrassed, then I'm judging a gentleman's belly with the heart of a villain.
"Otherwise?" Liu Xiangqin stared with big innocent eyes, you don't think we want you for nothing, do you?
Brother Xiao is not that kind of person!
Besides, if it is to rob, can you send us two little girls? Just for fear of scaring you, none of us dared to let Xiao Ye in...
"Or I'll tell them to stock up right away?" Since it was a business, Shi Mingtao's tone relaxed, and he was absolutely serious about business.
In his line of business, the reputation is greater than the sky. No matter who the buyer is, as long as they give money, they must deliver the goods to their door!
Otherwise, if he smashed it once, who would dare to look for him in the future?
"That's not busy at this moment." Liu Xiangqin smiled, "It's rare to see Boss Shi, and there are many things I want to ask you for advice."
"Young master, what other orders do you have?" Shi Mingtao glanced at Liu Xiangqin, "It's very rude, why haven't you asked the two young masters' names?"
"My surname is Liu." Naturally, it was inconvenient to tell him Liu Xiangqin's boudoir name.
"My name is Duan Ling'er." Duan Ling'er doesn't care about her boudoir's name, the girl will change her name if she wants to sit down or not!
"Oh, so it's Aunt Duan...Young Master Duan, I've heard of you for a long time!" Shi Mingtao naturally saw that these two were women disguised as men, but he didn't tell.
He has naturally heard of Duan Ling'er. It is said that Master Xiao Chenxiao only has such a girl, who is usually very doted on, but I heard that she is quite domineering, the kind who walks sideways in the palace...
It's just that the girl surnamed Liu really doesn't know her.
It doesn't matter, what matters is that Xiao Chen really has the sincerity to do business with him, even his sister was sent here.
Then we can have a deep talk.
Why didn't he suspect that these two people came to fish from the government, or someone with ulterior motives pretended to be Xiao Chen and came to set up a trick?
You don't have to.
Because he is the empress dowager's nephew, many people in the government know his true identity, but they dare not come to harass him. If he offends the empress dowager, would he still want to die?
Besides, those key powerful figures have already been arranged in advance.
As for someone pretending to be Xiao Chen? It's impossible, who the f*ck is so bold as to pretend to be his name.
Still want to die?
"I still have a manifest for Boss Shi to look at." But Liu Xiangqin took out another piece of paper and handed it to Shi Mingtao.
"Iron pans, earthen pots, porcelain bowls, needlework, tea leaves, soybean oil, soy sauce, gold and silver jewelry, satin, iron plows... live pigs?" Shi Mingtao took a look, and his face turned pale with shock. It wasn't Master Xiao, he was thinking What are you going to do him?
Are you going to do business with this boss, or with Xianbo Mojie and the others?
These are all materials that are in short supply in the north, and many of them are embargoed by the imperial court!
Do you think why the Xianbo people went south on a large scale, just to plunder these things, and you are lucky enough to give them to others?
After the surprise, the chrysanthemum tightened again, and suddenly realized that he seemed to have stepped on a thief ship!
Because Xiao Chen's purpose for these things is definitely not for his own use, but for gifting or selling to Xianbo people.
In other words, Xiao Chen is likely to be ready for peace talks with the Xianbo people, and the emperor sent him to fight.
The importance of the matter far exceeded Shi Mingtao's imagination.
He really shouldn't have read this manifest...
"Before I came to see you, Boss Shi, I naturally got to know you a little bit. I have a good reputation. They say that Boss Shi is a very loyal businessman and a person who can do great things. Even our Xiao Big brother praised you as a good man, so I came to you." Liu Xiangqin said good things, but smiled like a little fox.
"Even I don't know how big this business can grow in the future, but as long as it continues, within three years, I'm afraid your Boss Shi will make a fortune! Don't say you are rich, just buy this Even Fengyang City is not a problem, hehehe..."
I have to say that when Liu Xiangqin smiled, two small dimples hung on her cheeks, she was really indescribably cute.
But in Shi Mingtao's view, this is really scary!
It's not a question of being rich or not, the question is whether the boss can live to that time!
"I've heard a saying, it's called wealth and danger! Your boss Shi is already so rich, you shouldn't be afraid of taking risks, right?" Every word gradually pierced Ang's heart.
"Actually, my words are superfluous. Your Boss Shi is a hero. What you do is a business that others dare not do... In fact, this business is not risky. Do you know? But if someone finds out, it seems to be wrong for you and me." Liu Xiangqin's threat became more and more obvious.
It made Shi Mingtao's hair stand on end.
Because what Liu Xiangqin said was, of course, that if you, Boss Shi, leaked this matter, the consequences would be quite serious.
"Actually, you don't need to find you for this business. You probably don't know yet? The emperor has appointed my eldest brother as the governor of Yanyun County. He has the final say on the eighteen prefectures of Yanyun, so all materials that enter Yanyun County in the future , I have to agree with my elder brother."
Liu Xiangqin changed the topic again.
