Chapter 413 Gossip
Lin Ting frowned. "So many orders? We don't have enough fox fur. What should we do?"
Seeing that Lin Ting was in a difficult situation, Yi Fu and the others could help Lin Ting solve the problem.
"Madam Weirui, there are many foxes in Xiluo. If you need a large amount of fox fur, it's actually not difficult."
"Oh! Is there any way you can help me?"
Yi Fu stood up and took out the business records of many years from his lapel for Lin Ting to see.
"Madam Weirui, these are the goods that my brothers and I have collected over the years. Although we are all small businesses, our collection is very comprehensive.
Here we have the Cordyceps we used to collect, as well as fish and shrimp. We sell goods from the south to the north. If you trust us, besides Yangcheng, I can also go to other places to help you collect fox furs. What do you think?"
If someone helps Lin Ting collect information, the more the better. It doesn't matter if this business covers the whole of Xiluo.
"Sure, if you guys help me collect them, I'll still buy them from you at the price of our fur shop."
Yi Fu and the four people who came with him lowered their heads, seeming to want to say something but stopping themselves.
"Why, you are not satisfied with the price I offered."
"Madam Weirui, it's not that we are dissatisfied with your price, but if we brothers go outside to collect the fox fur,
Fox furs come in different colors, and we can't take out every single one and then convert the price. Wouldn't that be too much trouble?"
Lin understood that these people wanted to do bulk sales and wanted a unified price.
"If you have a lot of goods, we can negotiate. What's your ideal price?"
Lin Ting asked the other party for a quote first. The quality of fox fur varies, so he would see what the other party said first.
"Madam Weirui, if I collect a large number of fox furs, we can convert each into six taels of silver."
Lin Ting did not rush to answer Yi Fu's words, but turned to ask Bai Lu beside him.
"Bai Lu, tell me, is it reasonable?"
Yi Fu looked at Bai Lu, only to see Bai Lu's cold face and a sneer.
"Madam, please put away the fox fur. Our lowest price is eighty wen, and there are several grades. If we generalize, I think the most reasonable price is two taels."
Yi Fu and the other four felt a pang of anxiety. Two taels of silver was too low a price. It wasn't like they were all buying fox furs of poor quality. Some were good, some were bad; that was normal.
Then, Lin Ting said to Yi Fu again.
"Boss Yi, the offer Bai Lu gave is my offer. Can you accept it?"
Two taels of silver, this was far from what several people had expected. Originally, they wanted to do this business because of the high price offered by Lin Ting, but if this was calculated, they would lose money directly.
"Two taels of silver is too little, Madam Weirui..."
Lin Ting: "It's just two taels. If you think it's too little, you can sell it to me after sorting it according to the quality requirements of my shop. This way, no one will lose out.
As for the money you collect in other cities, it has nothing to do with me, no matter how much money you spend. That is the money you earn yourself."
Lin Ting said directly that she was not a sucker and she would never do anything without guarantees when it came to business.
Yi Fu and the others exchanged glances, and after a long period of hesitation, they finally agreed to Lin Ting's proposal.
"In that case, let's sign an agreement with Madam Weirui. For two years, any fox fur our brothers collect will be sold at your shop's price."
Yi Fu thought that Lin Ting was a woman and that this was her first time doing business in Xiluo, so she would be easy to control. However, they made a wrong calculation after all.
"That's easy!"
Lin Ting asked Bai Lu to bring a pen and paper and write down the agreement. The agreement stated that they would not accept diseased, damaged, or trimmed fur. The contract was for two years.
"Boss Yi, please confirm it once. If there are no problems, please sign it."
Lin Ting collects fox fur by the piece. After collecting the fox fur, they can air-dry and preserve it. As for the parts with smell, Lin Ting has his own technology to deal with it.
Yi Fu showed the contents of the two agreements to the other four people. In this agreement, Lin Ting only agreed to accept their fox furs, but would not pay them a deposit. They needed to pay the money themselves to collect the fox furs and then resell them to Lin Ting.
"No problem, we'll sign it right away."
Several people wrote their names on the list. With this agreement, within two years, no matter how many fox furs they had, Lin Ting would buy them according to the quality level.
After sending them to the gate of Weirui Pavilion, Lin Ting watched them walk away.
She has been in the border town for three months, and recently she feels that the way people in the border town look at her is contemptuous.
Just like now, she was just standing at the door of Weirui Pavilion, many eyes were on her, and some were whispering there.
These situations only occurred after Lin Ting started collecting fox skins. The situation was further aggravated when she sorted and transported the processed fox skins from Yangcheng to Weirui Pavilion.
"Bai Lu, are there any bad rumors about me out there?"
Judging from the business of Weirui Pavilion in the past few days, Lin Ting probably understood the attitude of the people in the border town.
In the past, there were still some people visiting their Weirui Pavilion, but in the past half month, there has been no one here.
"Madam, it's just gossip. Don't pay attention to it. Sooner or later, they will understand."
Bai Lu felt sorry for Lin Ting. Now people outside were scolding their wife in very harsh words, saying that she was a traitor and that she was aiding the tyrant and helping the Xiluo people.
The people in the border town have completely forgotten that it was their lady who provided porridge and water, which allowed many people to survive.
Now they feel that the lady has betrayed them just because they went to Xiluo to collect fox furs.
"Forget it, give me the account book, I'll take a look at it."
Lin Ting didn’t care what the people in the border town thought of him. Those who achieved great things did not care about trivial matters.
"Madam Weirui, you are from Dongxia. Why do you choose to do business with the shameless Xiluo people when you can do something else? Are you worthy of your ancestors? Are you worthy of the people of Dongxia?"
Just as Lin Ting was about to turn around and go back to the backyard, he was scolded by an old lady. Lin Ting remembered this person. Her family had been brutally killed by the Xiluo soldiers, leaving only a sick grandson by her side.
"Auntie Wei, I'm a businessman. Dongxia and Xiluo signed a contract and the two countries are trading. I have no problem doing business with the Xiluo people."
Lin Ting understood how much the people of Dongxia hated the people of Xiluo, but she would not change her mind no matter how many people tried to morally blackmail her.
“Madam Weirui, you saved my life and my grandson’s life by giving out porridge, so I advise you not to have anything to do with the Xiluo people. They are not good people.
You can do business, but you have to learn from Mrs. Lin Tinglin's approach, not cross the line, and care for the people of Dongxia.
Only a person who has nothing to do with Xiluo can become the number one businessman in Dongxia Kingdom.
You see, they distribute food to the people in the border town every day. If you had the character of Madam Lin, I, an old woman, wouldn't be here to criticize you."
