chapter 10 Get rich!

by Haruki Murakami 16:30,Jul 14,2023


Jinxiu Pavilion sells Journal of Silk and cloth, and it is the same as the Xu Family that Scott Shen married before, but the scale is smaller than the Xu Family.

Although its owner , the Lin Family, is not as wealthy as the Xu Family, it is also a well-known wealthy family in Xuanwu City, and has branches in more than a dozen surrounding cities.

Most importantly, this Lin Family is the Xu Family's competitor.

Seeing Scott Shen and Tian Shisan coming in, immediately a staff came forward to greet them.

"Hello, guest officer, I'm here to look at the fabrics. The new cotton fabrics we just launched are thin and soft." The store clerk has sharp eyes and can tell at a glance that Scott Shen has no money, so what he sells is cotton fabrics. Not Journal of Silk.

Scott Shen said directly, "Tell your master, I want to do a big business with the Lin Family, at least let him earn five thousand Gold Coins more every year."

As soon as the words came out, the guy was stunned. Although he had a smile on his face, he was extremely contemptuous in his heart. With your poor appearance, if you could earn five thousand Gold Coins every year, would you still be so poor?

"Guest officer, don't make fun of the villain." The waiter laughed.

Sidney Tian said from the side, "I'm Sidney Tian from the Mafia . I'd like to invite Master Lin Family to negotiate a business."

As soon as the words came out, the guy didn't dare to take it seriously.

Hale Tian's Mafia is well-known in the whole Xuanwu City. They operate gambling stalls, brothels, and money lending businesses. Although they usually do not interfere with the Lin Family well water, such gangster forces try not to offend them as much as possible.

This fellow thought that Sidney Tian was blackmailing on behalf of the Mafia.

"Master Thirteen, it's a long way to welcome you here." A chubby shopkeeper walked out quickly and said loudly, "Serve tea, serve good tea."

The waiter hurried over to make a pot of fragrant tea, and poured a cup for Sidney Tian and Scott Shen each.

The shopkeeper said, "Master Thirteen, what do you say is the same as what I said? My master has long wanted to make friends with Tian Heng's gang leader. This small gesture is not a respect."

Then he pushed a box over, and there were twenty Gold Coins in it, which was actually a big deal.

Sidney Tian smiled and said, "Master Lin really thinks of me as a swindler. I really have business to talk to your Elder Master, not to blackmail me."

The shopkeeper was startled, and said, "Is there really a business?"

Sidney Tian said, "There is indeed a business."

The shopkeeper said, "I can't be the master?"

Sidney Tian said, "You can't be the master."

The shopkeeper said, "Those two wait a moment, I'll go and invite the Elder Master to come over right now. Dude, serve some snacks to the two masters."

...

Scott Shen and Tian Shisan ate snacks and drank tea, waiting for Morgan Lin, the owner of Jinxiu Pavilion , to arrive.

About half an hour later, a middle-aged man in brocade clothes walked in. He was Morgan Lin , a rich man in Xuanwu City and the owner of Jinxiu Pavilion .

"You two have big business to talk to me?"Morgan Lin asked.

He has no fear of Sidney Tian, and he has a backer behind the business for his sake. Moreover, his son has entered Tiannan Martial Arts Academy, and his grades are very good. He will become a military officer after the martial arts exam, so even if he has no fear of Hale Tian, everyone will do whatever they want.

Shen Lang said, "Yes, big business! It can make Shopkeeper Lin earn at least 5,000 Gold Coins more every year."

Morgan Lin frowned. He disliked this kind of exaggerated young man the most, and he looked unreliable with a pretty face.

"Say."Morgan Lin said.

Shen Lang said, "I have a recipe to sell to Bos Lin, two thousand Gold Coins."

As soon as these words came out, Morgan Lin face immediately changed, and he said coldly, "Lin's time is precious, there is no time to waste it with respected guests, see off!"

After all, he picked up the tea and was about to drive people away.

Even Sidney Tian was stunned, one thousand Gold Coins is already absurd, Scott Shen actually asked for two thousand Gold Coins, this is completely insane, he really regretted bringing Scott Shen to Jinxiu Pavilion.

Morgan Lin got up and left without giving Scott Shen the slightest chance.

Sidney Tian gave Scott Shen a cold look, and said coldly, "You're looking for death..."

Seeing that the gold master was about to leave, Scott Shen took out a piece of Journal of Silk from his pocket and put it in front of Morgan Lin, "Bos Lin, do you think the color on this piece of Journal of Silk is worth two thousand Gold Coins?"

Morgan Lin turned around, his eyes fell on the Journal of Silk in Scott Shen 's hand, which was only the size of a handkerchief.

Sidney Tian took a look and felt that Scott Shen had lost his mind and went crazy. How could such a small piece of Journal of Silk be sold for two thousand Gold Coins?

However, the owner of the Jinxiu Pavilion suddenly opened his eyes, showing an expression of disbelief, walked over quickly, picked up the piece of Journal of Silk and put it in front of his eyes, and said in a trembling voice, "This, how is this possible? It turned out to be Golden yellow, how is this possible?!"

Sidney Tian was startled, and then he noticed that the piece of Journal of Silk Scott Shen gave was bright golden yellow.

Shen Lang said, "How did the Xu Family get rich? It's because his Journal of Silk is exclusively for the King, and it's because his Journal of Silk is so yellow."

In ancient China, yellow was exclusive to the royal family, and only the clothes of emperors, empresses, imperial concubines and others were yellow.

It's similar in this world. In the entire Yue Country, only the King family can use yellow Journal of Silk.

But the yellow color of Journal of Silk in this world is dyed with gardenia. The yellow is yellow enough, but the color is thin and not bright enough.

The piece of Journal of Silk that Scott Shen took out was dyed with a brand new formula. The yellow color of the pagoda seed juice mixed with alum is very bright, giving people a golden feeling.

The dragon robes of the emperors of the Qing Dynasty were dyed with this kind of dye. You can still see these dragon robes in the Palace Museum. How noble and gorgeous are they?

When Scott Shen went to pick herbs yesterday, he picked a lot of Huai Mi by the way. As for alum, which is a traditional Chinese medicine, I still have some left at home.

When he was boiling the traditional Chinese medicine yesterday, he also made half a bowl of this golden fuel, and then tore off the colorless Journal of Silk underwear on his body and put it in for dyeing.

After the dyeing is finished, let it dry overnight, then bake it with fire for a while, and this piece of golden Journal of Silk is almost ready.

Immediately afterwards, Morgan Lin quickly took out another piece of yellow Journal of Silk, which he dyed with gardenia.

There is no harm without contrast, the Journal of Silk yellow on the left is too tacky, too straightforward. The piece of Scott Shen on the right is golden and compelling, and it is a judgment call.

Shen Lang said, "I dyed this piece of Journal of Silk yesterday overnight, and the effect is actually not satisfactory. If there is enough time and enough materials, I can definitely make a brighter golden yellow color, and the silk thread will start to be dyed, and then weaved into Journal of Silk, the effect will be better." better."

Morgan Lin was stunned and said, "It's just produced overnight, and it has such an effect?"

Shen Lang said, "Yes, so if you get the formula, the dyed Journal of Silk will only be more golden and luxurious. If you send this golden Journal of Silk to the Weaving House of the King , what will happen?"

You can imagine with your toes that the King's Weaving House will immediately abandon the Xu Family's Journal of Silk and adopt the Lin Family's silk.

At that time, the Journal of Silk business exclusively for the King fell into the hands of the Lin Family.

How much money this business makes is a trivial matter, the key is reputation and political resources.

Shen Lang said, "Patriarch Lin Family, will my business allow your Lin Family to earn an extra five thousand Gold Coins every year?"

Morgan Lin shook his head and said, "Not only."

Shen Lang said, "Then, is it expensive for me to sell you two thousand Gold Coins for this golden yellow dye formula?"

Morgan Lin said, "It's not expensive, not at all."

Sidney Tian next to him looked at Scott Shen in astonishment.

Obviously, when Scott Shen agreed to buy Hale Tian life with a thousand Gold Coins the night before yesterday, he thought of a way to make money, and he was completely confident.

But what he didn't expect was that he would earn two thousand Gold Coins!

What was even more unexpected was that what he made money would take revenge on the Xu Family.

That's right, Scott Shen is so sure of vengeance, not only making money, but also hurting the Xu Family.

What kind of loss would it be if the Xu Family lost the business of Journal of Silk exclusively for the King ? It is completely conceivable!

Why did the Xu Family's Journal of Silk business spread across several provinces but no one sabotaged it? Isn't it because his family's Journal of Silk is specialized in the Weaving House of the King ?

Morgan Lin stared obsessively at the golden Journal of Silk in the sun, as if he couldn't get enough of it. After a long while, he said, "How can I believe that you made this dye? It's entirely possible that you picked up this It's just a piece of Journal of Silk."

Shen Lang said, "I brought all the materials, give me an hour, I will make this golden dye for you, it is guaranteed to be better than last night."

Morgan Lin said, "Really?"

Shen Lang said, "Really."

Morgan Lin said, "Okay, I will allocate the entire backyard to you, and you can order anything you want. As long as you make this golden dye on the spot, it will prove that the formula is indeed yours, and the business will be closed."

Shen Lang said, "Two thousand Gold Coins."

Morgan Lin said, "Never bargain."
