Chapter 39 Bargaining

"Young master, whatever conditions you have, just let me go. I have no objection. As long as you can write a letter and ask the master to let my caravan travel before tomorrow." Wu Tianbao said.

Gu Mingshu blinked and said with a smile: "Seriously? Then can the pawnshop give it to me for free?"

Wu Tianbao was stunned. It turned out that the bandit really planned to rob!

The net profit that Xinrong Pawnshop made for him in a year was at least tens of thousands taels. He only considered the sale of 100,000 taels for the sake of cash. Now this bandit wants to eat for nothing?

With this cost, wouldn't it be better for him to just give the shop to Mr. Ge? The number of rare treasures pawned in the pawn shop is not much worse than that in the birthday card, not to mention that this is a shop that can make money!

Just when he was about to leave the table, Gu Mingshu chuckled: "You're just kidding. Boss Wu, don't be anxious. White wolf with empty gloves is our way of playing in Qingyun Mountain. I know that Beijing will not accept this trick. If you want to

If you stay for a long time, you will have to do as the Romans do."

"Haha, the young master is very knowledgeable." Wu Tianbaoqiang smiled and praised.

Gu Mingshu added: "My boss and I have thought about it. We don't have much experience in running a pawn shop in the capital. In fact, even if we have experience, we are not as experienced and good at running it as Boss Wu. So, we don't plan to buy this shop."

.”

Wu Tianbao:......

"No, why haven't you bought it yet? Didn't you agree that the shopkeepers and assistants will stay, and you can just wait for the cashier, and let them do the business?"

Wu Tianbao was not afraid of anything, but he was afraid of bandits who wanted nothing. If she didn't buy the pawn shop, could she still get the birthday card back?

"Hey, don't worry. Although we don't want to buy it, we still want to cooperate with Boss Wu." Gu Mingshu said with a smile, "The boss said, we will contribute money to join the partnership. The pawnshop is still yours, and the profits are yours."

Twenty-eight is open, I am two and you are eight. It is still up to you to run the business."

"Then what do you want?" Wu Tianbao looked puzzled.

"Two things." Gu Mingshu raised two green fingers, "First of all, we want the second floor as our foothold in the capital. Secondly, we want all the imperial gifts in the pawn shop. We should die and live.

Leave it to us for safekeeping. The head master said that ordinary property is of no interest. She has never seen many things in the palace in her life, so she only wants this."

Wu Tianbao fell into deep thought: "This..."

I want him to work and collect royal gifts!

He couldn't help but think of a rumor among the people, saying that the late emperor had another edict hidden among the treasures in the treasury. In the year of his death, such treasures were given to his close ministers. Although this rumor has the effect of inflating the number of palace items flowing into the public.

Suspect, but...what if?

"Boss Wu, we have made such big concessions, and you are still so hesitant and hesitant. Isn't it appropriate?" Gu Mingshu's face turned cold, "You are not the only shop in Beijing that accepts items given by the emperor. Let's exchange them."

A family is fine, just the birthday card..."

Wu Tianbao said: "Hey, don't! It's great to join the team, how much do you plan to give?" As he said, he lifted it up for himself out of habit, "The price of the things given by the emperor is relatively high, and the ones given out by the pawnshop are also

It’s real money, and I’m taking a big risk by cooperating with you.”

Gu Mingshu suddenly turned cold and sneered: "Oh, I understand. Boss Wu looks down on our status and doesn't want to do business with us according to the rules of the capital city. How about we change to the rules of Qingyun Mountain?"

After saying that, she winked at Cuiwei. Cuiwei understood, took two steps forward and slapped the half-unsheathed sword in front of Wu Tianbao.

Wu Tianbao shuddered and immediately changed his mind. "No, no, no, that's not what I meant. You join the team because you think highly of me, Wu. We will continue to benefit from each other in the future."

Gu Mingshu turned around as quickly as she turned the page in a book. With a curl of her lips, her tone became warm and gentle: "It's okay if that's not what you mean. Since you want to be friends, then give me a friendship price."

"Well...how much do you plan to give?" Wu Tianbao asked.

Gu Mingshu gestured to him with her five fingers.

Wu Tianbao was overjoyed: "Okay, deal! Isn't 50,000 taels fine in cash?"

"What fifty thousand taels? How much money did you spend that day? Five thousand!" Gu Mingshu said, "Boss Wu, you are more professional than us in robbing money!"

"Hey," Wu Tianbao smiled awkwardly, "This is not because you stretched out your hand. I got it wrong. It can't be said by me. However, five thousand is indeed a little less. Xinrong Pawnshop occupies the entire capital.

The best location is to set up a stall at the door, but there are more than this."

Gu Mingshu rolled her eyes in her heart. She really thought she was an old hat from the mountain. I wonder how much the stall in Beijing cost? A stall of 5,000 taels would have to be placed at the gate of the palace.

Gu Mingshu slammed the table and said angrily: "Don't say it's useless, just say it's okay!"

"Thirty thousand taels, it can't be less." Wu Tianbao looked embarrassed, "You still need two layers of profits, and you also need to pawn the items in the palace. I also have to work for you and give the guys working money. If it is less than

With this amount, I will really lose money to my grandma’s family.”

"Fifteen thousand!" Gu Mingshu cut him in the waist without hesitation.

After some intense bargaining, the two finally settled on a price of 20,000 taels.

But when Wu Tianbao collected the money, all his smiles disappeared - in front of him, there was a piece of light paper with the word "IOU" written on it.

"My lord, my lord, this is still the rule of Qingyun Mountain. This is not how we do business in the capital." Wu Tianbao stared at the half-unsheathed sword for a long time, and finally plucked up the courage to speak out.

But Gu Mingshu said easily and casually: "What you said is wrong. This is how you do business in the capital. Yesterday, I made a deal with a young man from Shibafang, and I made an IOU worth tens of thousands of taels.

"

She tapped the IOU twice with her slender fingers, and smiled with her eyebrows creasing: "This business is much bigger than yours."

People who can do big business in Shibafang, except Ye Tianzi, hardly need to think about it.

But what's the difference between the emperor's rules that night and those of Qingyun Mountain?

But even so, Wu Tianbao still changed his face in the hardship and pain, and accepted the IOU with a forced smile. "Haha, I was confused. This is indeed the rule in Beijing."

Qingyunshan couldn't go to the capital to seize his nest and ransack his home, but Emperor Ye had the ability to do so. Although he didn't follow that path, when doing business in the capital, he had to worship the gods he was supposed to worship.

If this "young master" disguised as a man had said from the beginning that she was hooking up with Emperor Ye, he wouldn't have bothered to bargain with her. She could have gotten as much as she wanted. Anyway, in the end it was an IOU that couldn't be cashed, so why bother?

Where's the spit star?

Gu Mingshu said: "Then please take care of me, Boss Wu! By the way, our identities are sensitive after all, so we hope that Boss Wu can keep the matter of cooperation a secret. Tomorrow I will send a shopkeeper to your shop to sell palace items.

Just leave it to him."

"Hey, it works!"

After saying goodbye to Wu Tianbao, Gu Mingshu returned to the General's Mansion without stopping, intending to listen to her mother's stories about the past.

However, when she returned to Yunyuan, she found that her mother was no longer in the courtyard.
