The Blessed

“I guess it has nothing to do with you, right? If you don’t believe me, I think this would explain everything.”

Knowing that he was trying to see if they cooked it up, Ling Jingxuan did not mind it with him, so he felt out the jade token Zeng Shaoqing had given him and handed it over. Since he knew that Baiyunge might belong to Zeng Shaoqing, or maybe Yan Shengrui’s personal properties, he had made up his mind to cooperate with them, but not now. His so-called cooperation, this Shopkeeper couldn’t make the final decision. The reason he wasted so much time here was that he wanted him to bring some words to Zeng Shaoqing for him, meanwhile, help his aunt and her sons to earn some money.

“This is…Lord Six’s jade token. Childe Ling, sorry I failed to recognize you! I hope you wouldn’t put it on your mind.”

The boss only gave his jade token to someone who is important to him. After realizing their important to their boss, Shopkeeper Zhang instantly changed his attitude, bowing and scraping.

“Never mind, the cooperation between me and Lord Six is confidential, so I hope you can keep it a secret.”

After putting away the jade token, Ling Jingxuan quietly exchanged an eye contact with Yan Shengrui, under their leading, the four of them sat back again.

“Yeah, definitely, about the handbags…I wonder at what price Childe Ling would like to sell your style and design?”

Quietly wiping off the cold sweat, Shopkeeper Zhang smiled apologetically. And this time, their stands got exchanged. Now it was they who he couldn’t afford to offend.

“To be honest, this design is just used to explore the way. So, I don’t mind much about the price. About the cooperation, I’m afraid you can’t make the final decision here. Later, we will also launch headdress flowers, jewelries, and other handbags specially for women. This time, those handbags basically share the same style, not with different colors. Maybe you can have a try. If they sell well, I hope you can pass on a message to Lord Six for me. Tell him that Ling Jingxuan is in Ling village waiting for him.”

If he guessed it right, Zeng Shaoqing would be on his way from the capital to Cangzhou in two or three months tops.

“No problem, but only the few bags here may not be enough, right? I think you should have seen it. Those ladies and misses all like them very much. Once they are launched, they would definitely sell! Only a month’s sales in this branch would be considerable.”

Those who could climb to be a shopkeeper should all be sophisticates. From his words, one could tell, at first, he did have taken advantage that they knew nothing about the market thing and meant to buy their handbags, then mass produce them. Although now in and out of his words, it still indicated that he had that plan, he already had no balls to do that. If Ling Jingxuan accused of him before Lord Six, he’d lose his position for sure.

“Hehe…I know what you mean. But the price is really too low. Given your Baiyunge’s size, you’d sell them at least ten taels of silver each, or maybe even higher. But you only wanted to buy out my design and style using only ten taels. I never did a losing bargain.”

He dare not make it explicit, Ling Jingxuan did him a favor. Shopkeeper Zhang made a bitter smile, “Childe Ling, don’t make fun of me. Since you are Lord Six’s partner, you should know our Baiyunge could afford any price. So just name one.”

Already having known their close relationship with Lord Six and they even got Lord Six’s jade token that he seldom offered anyone, he never had the balls to force the price down if you kill him.

“How about this. Just take it as my greeting gift for your Baiyunge. Buy now price, a hundred taels of silver, and those handbags we brought with us are all yours. And you can mass produce them, I promise we will never make bags of the same style or design. What do you think?”

After a little meditation touching his chin, Ling Jingxuan said so pretending to be generous after having some eye communication with Zhang Qing and Ling Jingpeng. When he said the price, Ling Jingpeng and Zhang Qing nearly slipped off their chairs. The cost of each handbag was just twenty copper coins, and he directly asked for one hundred taels of silver? Seriously?

In contrast, Yan Shengrui looked much more poised. He had seen scenes much worse than this. He just liked his Ling Jingxuan’s confident appearance, so sexy! He even wouldn’t want to move his eyes off him.

“One hundred? What about the cost of each, if I may ask?”

One hundred taels of silver was not a small sum, so Shopkeeper Zhang also dare not make a hasty decision.

“You can rest assured, the cost is less than 20 copper coins each. Told you, what I sell if the style and design. When you promote sales, you can also stress this point. And, I suggest that you’d better make an exclusive trademark of your Baiyunge in the inside, like your shop badge. So, even if others try to copy it, as long as people see the trademark, they’d know which one is the genuine one. And another thing, a thing is valued when it is rare. So, you shouldn’t mass produce too many. For example, you can grant specific supply of each branch. And you can raise the price befittingly. The harder to buy, the more people want it.”

Ling Jingxuan business expertise was from the essence that Huaxia Kingdom had accumulated for thousands of year, no one was clearer than him about the temptation of hunger marketing. Storekeeper Hong already got stoned there. And Ling Jinghan and Zhang Qing aside quietly clenched their fists and kept each word of his in their mind.

“All right, a hundred taels it is.”

After quite a while, Shopkeeper Hong finally made the decision, whether their handbags or Ling Jingxuan’s words, to him, it was really irresistible.

“Hehe…Shopkeeper Hong, I promise you won't regret it.”

After throwing Zhang Qing and others a ‘nailed it’ expression, Ling Jingxuan smiled, and suddenly his hand below the table got grasped by someone As he looked up, his man was staring at him, eyes beaming. Ling Jingxuan gave him a shallow smile, with all his affections inside.
