Chapter 41 One Hundred and Twenty Dragon and Tiger Pills
Thousand Phoenix Tower.
As the shopkeeper, Yang Shanyu personally greeted him. Unlike last time, Gu Wen was a little more alert this time and would no longer attribute the restlessness in this place to a physical reaction.
"Master Wen is coming here, why don't you let someone know who I am in advance?"
Yang Shanyu was wearing a gorgeous dress, with a half-revealed dress that immediately caught the attention of everyone around her, and the eyes of countless "old gourmets" dropped from her eyes.
This kind of beauties that can only be viewed from a distance but not played with are the most profitable. I don’t know how many people come here every year. It’s worth spending dozens of taels to play the piano with the people from the Qing Dynasty. Like Yang Shanyu, one appearance
Fees all start at a hundred taels.
Although Gu Wen doesn't think they are much prettier than other brothel girls in Longqiao, but people are cheap and they like to hold on.
Gu Wen said: "Gu is a merchant, how can He De show such grandeur?"
"Now who doesn't know how majestic you are? I can count on two hands the number of people who have the Imperial Guard accompanying you when they go out in Bianjing City."
Yang Shanyu covered her face and chuckled, then took over from the maid and led Gu Wen up to the third floor. All the noise was gradually pushed to the back, and only the bustling sound of Longqiao was still faintly heard.
"Master Wen is here to replace Hu Sanyuan?"
"Shopkeeper Yang is really good at knowing things."
"There is no such thing as divine information. The death of that fellow at home even alarmed the prime minister. I think that since he is dead, the only one who can accept such a big business is Master Wen."
"I also heard about Hu Sanyuan's death this morning. It was really tragic. Dozens of people were massacred by unknown persons."
Gu Wen's expression remained unchanged. The memory of yesterday's murder made him unable to breathe faster.
The case of extermination was a major case in all dynasties, enough to alarm the county governor, and even spread to the court, and was placed in front of the emperor's desk. Bianjing is still at the feet of the emperor, and everything is a major event, but the current emperor does not care about it.
The prime minister is already in top position, but so what.
The biggest fear of murder comes from the punishment after being discovered, and it is impossible for ancient criminal investigation methods to track down a person who ran twenty miles in one hour and wiped out an entire family single-handedly.
"Anyone who works in his profession will die sooner or later. There are many capable people and strangers in this world who want to kill them. If he is unhappy, it will only kill an ant."
Yang Shanyu covered her face and said with a smile. If what she said was true in the past, Gu Wen would only lean towards bigger dignitaries, but now it is completely different.
What she said is right, in front of the monks, everyone is like a pig or a dog.
Even if it is impossible to move mountains and reclaim seas, as long as the monks are not stupid, it is impossible for mortals to compete with them.
And I am also on the path of spiritual practice, and I have gone further than anyone else.
------------------
Entering the room, Gu Wen sat down casually, and Yang Shanyu served him tea and water.
"This is my first time taking over this matter. Can Shopkeeper Yang tell me something?"
"Of course you can."
Yang Shanyu leaned over to pour water, and a scent of fragrance hit his face. He whispered softly: "Our Qianfeng Tower relies on the Qing Palace and the tonic pills. I wonder if Mr. Wen has heard of some strange things."
Gu Wen said calmly: "Gu has been helping His Highness Ninth Prince over the years, and I have had some contact with him. Otherwise, I wouldn't have purchased Dragon and Tiger Pills in large quantities. I wonder when I can get those pills?"
"The supply of Dragon and Tiger Pills exceeds the demand. Originally, Master Wen had to wait for some time for those pills. But since the palace has given us such a big business, I can open a back door for Master Wen."
Yang Shanyu called the maid and gave a few instructions in her ear. Not long after the maid left the room, she came back with wooden boxes one after another.
The exquisite mahogany box is padded with a layer of silk satin, and the Dragon and Tiger Pills are arranged neatly one by one. There are 20 pills in a box, a total of six boxes, one hundred and twenty Dragon and Tiger Pills.
According to the 70 taels agreed upon before, this is 8,400 taels, and Gu Wen only has 5,600 taels, which is not enough even with the initial deposit of 2,000 taels.
Even silver began to run out.
Gu Wen sighed, there was nothing he could do about it. For businessmen, Jiu Liu Yi was already at the top, and his ten thousand taels was the limit that he could achieve without taking risks and making illegal money.
Moreover, practicing one's own cultivation actually consumes a lot of money. One's destiny requires heavenly marrow, and daily luck and mana training also require the support of medicinal properties. According to Yu Hua, others also need to take elixirs if they want to quickly restore their mana.
Money, money, money, money for everything.
Yang Shanyu said: "This is the recently released batch of Dragon and Tiger Pills. How much does Mr. Wen want?"
"I want them all."
Gu Wen said without hesitation, his posture was very bold.
Although he has no money, he has Zhao Feng's money, and he will be greedy for whatever he lacks. Even if he may be found out if he is short of a few thousand taels, as long as the risk can be quickly transformed into strength, the risk is not a risk.
The fist is the last word.
These one hundred and twenty Dragon and Tiger Pills are equivalent to twelve years of heavenly marrow, and the five internal organs and spirits of the second level of Daoji need two years of heavenly marrow for each perfection, so ten years of heavenly marrow of the third level of Daoji are enough.
Yang Shanyu was a little surprised and said, "Can Mr. Wen eat so much?"
Gu Wen replied: "Business always involves risks. The palace needs it, and the business also needs it."
"If that's the case, please ask Mr. Wen to pay it all in one lump sum. After all, the amount is a bit large."
Yang Shanyu did not ask any further questions. Qianfenglou was not a shop. As an upstream supplier, it was only good to sell the goods quickly.
As for how much benefit Gu Wen can get from it, that's up to him.
Gu Wen slapped a stack of treasure banknotes on the table and squandered the six thousand, four hundred taels without feeling bad at all. As long as it can increase his strength, all expenditures will be converted into better assets.
Money and cultivation are dung and gold.
Not to mention that Gu Wen didn't pay for all of it himself, and Zhao Feng reimbursed half of it.
The deposit was 5,600 taels, of which 6,400 taels were lost. The palace reimbursed 3,000 taels, leaving a balance of 2,200 taels.
Yang Shanyu asked people to go to the bank to check the account. The treasure banknotes are not currency, and can only be regarded as a kind of paper voucher. The authenticity needs to be exchanged at the bank, and it is not possible to exchange money with the treasure banknotes.
If a gangster with a ruthless face enters a bank with treasure money, he will most likely be invited to have a meal in jail.
Gu Wen picked up one and looked at it. It was light yellow with some mottled black spots. It was indeed different from the crystal clear top-grade Longhu Danbi.
"There is also the high-grade Dragon Tiger Pill that His Highness Ninth Prince needs."
Another box of pills was delivered, with only five pills.
Gu Wen sighed secretly, as expected, the barriers between circles cannot be broken through money alone.
It doesn't matter at all, people won't let me play with them. No matter how impressive I am in Longqiao, they won't share their good things with me, a mortal.
"How much."
"Hu Sanyuan negotiated for one thousand five hundred taels of a high-quality Dragon Tiger Pill. We have worked hard to improve the success rate."
"How many bad products come out of one batch?"
"About fifteen."
"The palace has even purchased these low-quality products. I want one thousand taels of high-quality products, forty taels of low-quality products, and no need for medium-quality products."
Yang Shanyu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "The market price for Dragon Tiger Pills is fifty taels a piece. With this opening, you not only cut off five hundred taels, but also bought low-grade Dragon Tiger Pills at a low price. Mr. Wen thinks it's reasonable."
?”
“Very reasonable.”
Gu Wen's eyes were steady and he held his chin with his right hand. His whole aura had vaguely surpassed that of Yang Shanyu, and he had an aura of being able to grasp everything.
This is one of the few places where he doesn't need to hide his clumsiness. He is just a businessman. If he is weak in business, how can he make a living?
"The war in Zezhou has been in a stalemate recently. Although there are good news one after another, if we don't move our troops back to North Korea, there will be no peace. At this time, the consumption desire of large households is the lowest, and everyone is tightening expenditures."
"Guilou Alchemy should not only be for sale. It is better to sell these waste products to me in the south than to keep them in your hands. I will make money and you can quickly get the money back."
He makes money to buy medicine, and he buys medicine to practice cultivation. In the same way, Qianfeng Tower makes money to buy elixirs, and he makes elixirs and sells them to buy more elixirs, and most of them must be internally digested and cultivated.
One second, two seconds, three seconds...
Yang Shanyu's smile gradually disappeared, and he looked thoughtful, but did not agree, saying: "Master Wen, wait a moment, I have to ask the master."
After a while, she came back and said concisely:
"The master wants to see Mr. Wen."
