Manager Liu immediately understood what he meant and did not ask Wang Chen at all.

Take out some white sugar directly from the basket, put it in a delicate bowl and carry it over.

Wang Yuanwai leaned over and sat up, first smelled it, then picked up some and sniffed it at the tip of his nose, and finally put it in his mouth to taste it.

Although there was no expression on his face, there was a turmoil in his heart. At this moment, Wang Yuanwai had already concluded that this must be something sent to the palace, and it must have been sent from overseas.

Because there is no such good thing in the territory of Datang.

As someone who has seen the market, he knows the value of this thing.

After all, things are rare and valuable, and things that others don't have are good things. Especially this kind of thing that is unique to the Tang Dynasty must be valuable.

"How many of these do you have?" Wang Yuanwai's eyes showed a hint of coldness.

Wang Chen felt a chill go down his spine, recalling Jiang Yang's instructions to him. If asked about such a topic, he must be vague, otherwise this kid would kill the goose that lays the egg.

"This..." Wang Chen rolled his eyes and said, "Where is my eldest brother? If you are lucky, you can get more in a month. If you are not lucky, you can't get it. This is all you have at the moment."

After Wang Yuanwai finished listening, he didn't speak for a while, as if he was thinking about something in his heart.

Suddenly he laughed loudly and actually stood up and patted Wang Chen on the shoulder and said: "Your eldest brother is a capable person for being able to get into that position. How much do you plan to sell this thing for?"

Rolling his eyes, Wang Chen whispered: "Sir, my eldest brother said one tael of sugar and five hundred taels. He wants to take it back and share it with the brothers... Otherwise, it will be too little and we cannot afford the risk."

Wang Yuanwai nodded, he understood the so-called risk.

Although the heyday has passed and the Tang Dynasty is getting weaker and weaker, the general system and laws still need to be maintained, otherwise it will be a rebellion.

If you steal and buy the things in the palace, it would not be too much to punish you with beheading in a more serious case, but in a less serious case you would have to pluck out the skin on your body, so there is definitely a risk.

Wang Yuanwai frowned and said: "Five hundred taels is too expensive. If you can make it cheaper, I will take everything this time."

Wang Chen's breathing almost stopped.

I may be able to exceed the task this time.

After a tense moment, he took two deep breaths and suppressed the impulse in his heart. To the two of them, Wang Chen seemed to be in a dilemma.

"I wonder how much money you can get?" Wang Chen knew that he couldn't predict the low price Wang Yuanwai wanted, so he could only kick the ball back.

Wang Yuanwai glanced at Wang Chen and said: "Although the food is good, it comes from a wrong source. Gifts are also given according to the circumstances of each person. It is too expensive to eat by yourself."

"So I can only give you the price of two hundred and one taels of white sugar."

After hearing Wang Yuanwai's first words, Wang Chen felt nervous and was still thinking about what to do if the price offered by this old boy was too low. When he heard the price of two hundred taels, he felt happy.

Brother, brother, you still underestimate the value of sugar.

There is no need to rush, selling sugar is only the first step.

There is still a series of tricks waiting for this old boy, I don’t believe you won’t be fooled.

Wang Chen suppressed the excitement in his heart and pretended to be entangled: "My elder brother said before I came that it can be cheaper if the quantity is large. After all, we have to take action, but...isn't it too little?"

"Oh?" Wang Yuanwai's eyes became lively upon hearing this. He heard the word "large amount" clearly.

He waved several maids and servants to go out, and asked in a deep voice: "Where did your eldest brother fall, how many pounds? If the amount is large, I can take all the two hundred taels."

When Wang Chen heard this, he just wanted to scold the big dog, but he still pretended to hesitate and said: "It's about two to three hundred pounds."

As he said this, Wang Chen went outside and said quietly: "This time I only gave five hundred kilograms to the palace. This weight is as high as the sky. I wouldn't dare to pay more."

When Wang Yuanwai calculated the weight in these people's hands, he estimated that they only weighed nearly three hundred kilograms.

More than five hundred thousand taels.

The price is acceptable, and what they have in their hands is the only one in the Tang Dynasty besides the palace.

Wang Yuanwai said with a smile: "No problem, Manager Liu, go and weigh the contents of the basket and get money for this gentleman. I will have a chat with this gentleman."

Manager Liu nodded and left, while Wang Yuan smiled and said to Wang Chen: "Brother, don't stand here, sit down and talk."

Wang Chen looked flattered. As soon as he sat down, he heard Wang Yuanwai say: "When will the other sugar arrive?"

This is the key.

Wang Chen's heart changed slightly, and he understood that the most difficult task was coming.

So he said: "To be honest, this pound is too big for this villain to take out. If you don't worry about it, why don't you arrange for someone to go there with me to get it. I calculated that I can only play for more than a month."

.”

Wang Yuanwai frowned and felt a little upset after hearing this. First of all, this was their first meeting, and secondly, by arranging people to go there, they were on the other side's territory.

If the other party forcibly keeps the silver and refuses to give sugar, I will really be in a state of unspeakable suffering.

Reporting to the official? Definitely unrealistic.

Moreover, it was the first time I met this person, and in such a short period of time, I believed that he was some fantasy.

Seeing Wang Yuanwai's hesitation, Wang Chen decided to add another fire.

But he heard from his elder brother that if the other party doesn't believe you, it must be because the cake you drew is not round enough.

"If you have any doubts, sir, you can send someone who is trustworthy to wait for me near that place with some silver. After seeing the goods, you can pay."

"After all, we want to cooperate for a long time. To be honest, besides sugar, my eldest brother can also come up with some other things. Isn't this still waiting for the cooperation of adults?"

"Let's make a fortune together. After all, what can the common people get from them?"

Painting cakes, pua, all available techniques were used, and Xiaozhi moved with emotion and reason.

As expected, Yuan Wang was moved unexpectedly and had some plans in mind.

It was indeed reassuring to see the goods being traded nearby, and judging from his tone, I must have been unable to transport the goods even though the journey was far away. After all, there was no life on the road, so it wasn't like he let it go unnecessarily.

The risk has been reduced to a minimum, there is no reason not to participate.

Thinking of this, Wang Yuanwai narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "How can I not believe my brother? I was just worried that the long journey would make my brother hard."

At this time, Manager Liu pushed the door open and came in, reporting that there were seventeen kilograms and six taels in the basket just now, a total of thirty-five thousand two hundred taels, which is not bad, far more than the few thousand taels he thought before.

many.

Then Mr. Wang said, "How much cash does Manager Liu still have in his account?"

Manager Liu quickly replied: "In addition to the staff, there are still more than 800,000 taels of silver on the books. In addition to this money, we also have..."

Seeing that Manager Liu was about to report, Wang Yuanwai waved his hand to stop him and said, "Get five hundred thousand taels of silver from the warehouse, and take a few people to follow this brother to transport the sugar back."

"Okay." Manager Liu agreed immediately.
