Future library

After calming down, Cheng Jinzhou was a little skeptical about the friendly words of customer service 010, but he didn't think much about it and started buying books first.

This time, he no longer pursued copying all the books. As the speed of making money becomes faster and faster, the speed of copying books can no longer keep up with the speed of accumulation of funds. Coupled with time constraints, he simply gave up on some unsatisfactory books, especially novels.

On the contrary, for books that needed to be translated in the past, he would ask for them to be translated, and then decide whether to give up.

Those in the natural sciences category must definitely stay. He is also interested in some classics on religion, while those in the social sciences category are often abandoned. He is even too lazy to open books with titles like "Human Issues in the 21st Century" .

In this way, the progress will naturally be extremely fast. In two or three hours, more than twenty books were received, which was the progress of the previous month. Customer service 010 was also extremely cooperative. When asked for a book with 10,000 words, there were very few books with more than 15,000 words. Compared with the previous nagging, it was like Tang Monk had gone crazy.

Qin An arrived outside the house panting, and finally regained his strength after drinking a cup of tea. Shi Mo, who had already been anxious with his mouth bubbling, asked him to sit down and was about to pass the message.

Qin An grabbed him next to him. He didn't even have time to put down the cup, and said first: "My little brother, you can't let me go in to see Master Astromancer with my eyes darkened, can you? Tell me what happened. So that I can prepare."

"To be honest, I don't know." Shi Mo waved his hand and sent the boy beside him away, saying, "I'm just thinking here. I asked you to come here just to buy and sell things, and it seems that I want them. Urgent, please think more about the goods of the firm in Huangjin County."

After that, Shi Mo hurriedly walked back to the inner room. They are currently stationed in the courtyard of a warehouse. There is no difference between the two gates, except that Meng Dameng and Meng Er are guarding the front yard.

Hearing Shi Mo's announcement, the few accountants who stayed in the yard were moved to tears.

The boss pressed hard, and they wrote quickly. Who knew that they had been writing non-stop for two hours, and they were already exhausted. Even those who have practiced calligraphy since childhood cannot write quickly for an entire hour, not to mention those who work as accountants are often not serious study masters.

Cheng Jinzhou rubbed the ring carefully, and then said to the boy waiting by the door: "Open the door."

"Third brother, shopkeeper Qin is here." Shi Mo took half a step past the door and lowered his head.

"It's pretty fast." Cheng Jinzhou said and walked out, and Shi Mo quickly followed.

…

Qin An held a towel and put it on his forehead, closing his eyes and thinking about the goods stored by the trading company in Huangjin. In recent days, the items purchased and sold by Qin Yu Commercial Bank to Cheng Jinzhou have accounted for more than 30% of all sales, far exceeding those of the huge maritime trading groups, and also greatly increasing the value of the commercial bank, but no matter it is He, or his boss, were unwilling to attach themselves to a Star Warlock who was too young - being young meant being changeable and uncontrollable, and being attached to a Star Warlock was a very expensive decision, and they were unwilling to risk too much. Big risk.

Now, what Qin An is most worried about is Cheng Jinzhou making similar requests.

In fact, it would also be extremely risky for a businessman to refuse the request of an astromancer. Just the danger to his life would make people worry. Not to mention that the Star Warlock Association and the imperial court always sided with the Star Warlock. Throughout history, strong tendencies have produced numerous ill-tempered astromancers.

Shi Mo's deliberate accent woke up Qin An. He hurriedly put the towel on the table, stood up and waited.

The gap between a two-star warlock and a merchant is no narrower than a slave owner and his neighbor's slave.

"Master Star Warlock." Qin An bent down deeply.

"You're welcome. I'm in a hurry. I just told you that I need a lot of supplies now because I need to do an experiment." Cheng Jinzhou took out a box from his sleeve and said, "There are fifty thousand taels of flying tickets in it." , I can’t take it out in cash.”

"Where is it?" Qin An's mind was spinning rapidly and he said carefully: "Qin Yu Trading Company, I'm afraid it's not worth 50,000 taels of silver now. And you know, we deliver goods once every half month, which has just passed. A few days..."

Huangjin County is one of the main warehouses of Qin Yu Trading Company. Although it is difficult to take out goods worth fifty thousand taels, it is not impossible. But Qin An felt that the Star Warlock in front of him might have more than just a few demands.

Sure enough, Cheng Jinzhou waved his hand indifferently and said: "Then let Qin Yu Trading Company take the lead and transfer goods from other trading firms."

Of course he can go directly to other trading houses to buy supplies, but in that case, goods worth a few thousand taels of silver are acceptable. Any more may cause the other party to have doubts again and again, not to mention the trouble of dealing with multiple trading houses. Through insiders, , has always been a sound plan.

Qin An's face changed slightly, and he forced a smile and said: "In that case, please allow me to prepare a little..."

"I want it today. The current goods should be purchased by Qin Yu Trading Company from other trading firms." Cheng Jinzhou did not want to risk losing the Star Alliance library because of anyone's laziness or other reasons.

Qin An's lips were dry and he said, "If only I could have an extension for a day or two."

"Let's go see the goods first." Cheng Jinzhou stood on tiptoe, patted his shoulder and said: "No matter how late today, you have to buy all the goods, and you take the money first. In addition, no matter which trading house you buy from For the goods, I will let you take 10% of the price."

As he said that, he took out a few more golden nuggets from his sleeves, put them in Qin An's hand and said, "You came here quickly. You had a hard time on the road."

The gold dropped suddenly in Qin An's hand, temporarily freeing him from his sorrow.

He is an old man doing errands, and the four golden naked men cost ten taels each, which is very familiar. But these little guys worth eight hundred taels of silver were more than his salary in two years, and they were really hot in their hands. Qin An couldn't help but look at Shi Mo.

The latter looked at the door curtain intently, as if he didn't know anything.

Qin Anxin calmed down for a moment, unable to say any words of rejection, and said cowardly: "Thank you, Mr. Star Warlock."

Cheng Jinzhou patted his shoulder again and said with a smile: "Lead the way."

Qin An said "yes" and his steps seemed to become brisk.

The docks in Huangjin County feel a bit mini compared to the docks in Beijing, and the same goes for the warehouses. From the tidal flat down, it is no more than ten miles across, and no more than five or six miles in length. Coupled with some miscellaneous facilities, the space is small. several times.

However, the dock in Huangjin County also has a convenient side. Because Huangjin's own commercial potential is average, those who store goods here are all larger merchants, and usually they are large quantities of materials, unlike the mixed bag at the capital's wharf.

After Qin An accepted the money, his attitude naturally changed, and he opened several warehouse areas operated by Qin Yu Trading Company in Huangjin County to Cheng Jinzhou for visit.

As for the managers of the commercial bank, although they are not subordinate to Qin An, they cannot stop him.

Entering the warehouse area, Cheng Jinzhou seemed to be walking behind him, but he secretly contacted customer service 010 and said: "If you like the things in here, just ask for the price."

"The price can only be determined after scanning." Customer service 010 returned to his usual style.

"Then please scan them all." Cheng Jinzhou said, he also opened the ring, released the exchange form, and said while reading: "Such a thick book should have a search function. Xinhua Dictionary has long since stopped It’s very popular.”

Customer service 010 did not answer the call and said in a wooden voice: "All scans cost 6,800 stars. Are you sure?"

"Scan all, new function?" Cheng Jinzhou asked doubtfully. In his impression, the previous customer service 010 had to scan everything individually.

"Are you sure?"

"OK." Cheng Jinzhou touched his chin.

After a while, classmate Xiao Cheng said suddenly: "Mr. Ke, you seem a little anxious. Is something going on?"

Customer service 010 remained silent.

In the cloth warehouse, Qin An introduced it seriously: "This is the latest Chu brocade, and it is also the most expensive product in recent times. Each piece costs 100 pieces. Ordinary people cannot afford it, but it is still easy to sell in Xia Jing." .”

"Cotton comes from the south. It is much warmer than silk and linen, but it is very time-consuming. A worker can only produce one and a half kilograms of cotton for one day. In addition, it is not as good-looking as silk, so many people are not willing to wear it."

"These kenaf are specially prepared for you. There are 30,000 pieces in total. The workers just arrived two days ago and the workers moved them all day. Now it's time to sow the seeds, and there are less and less linen available. .”

"We have prepared six kinds of ordinary Lingluo, which are relatively easy to sell in Beijing. The total number is around 10,000 horses. If the time is more relaxed, it can be done by preparing another 20,000 horses."

It wasn't until Qin An introduced it that Customer Service 010 said: "Kenken is 0.3 star yuan per piece, other linen is 0.2 star yuan, cotton is 6 star yuan per ton, and satin is 0.4 star yuan per piece..."

"Is silk the same price as linen?"

"It makes no difference to us, silk is no more tough than spider silk."

"Then it's still linen. The other prices must be at a loss." Cheng Jinzhou finished speaking in a low voice and said to Qin An: "Are you ready for the medicinal materials, wood and ores?"

Qin An nodded and said: "In other warehouses."

Cheng Jinzhou raised his eyebrows, turned around again, pretended to think about the problem, rubbed his fingers and said: "Mr. Ke, the question now is how much do you need? Is the transaction amount of 50,000 taels of silver enough? Approximately 200,000 stars. Of course, I will eventually use the money to buy books. And I will do it as quickly as possible, so as to quickly increase my Star Alliance level."

Customer Service 010 snorted and said after a long time: "The more, the better. Don't be too smart."

"I'll buy something and trade right away." Cheng Jinzhou smiled sincerely, simple and harmlessly.
