How did a street urchin from the film crew end up in a Northern Song Dynasty drama called "The

When Jin Shuai entered the dining room, he first warmly invited Sheng Hong and Sheng Wei to take their seats. Then, he walked briskly to a side hall, where he saw Hua Lan surrounded by a group of women, including Liu Ma, Tian Xiang, Wan'er, Shuang'er, and Qiu Shui, seated at the head of the table. Jin Shuai smiled warmly and said softly, “Sisters, please enjoy your meal and conversation. Don’t be shy. Hua’er, I’ve always preferred this kind of joyful and harmonious atmosphere, so our family doesn’t have many formalities. They’ll explain everything to you in detail later. If you have any questions, just ask.”

Hearing Jin Shuai's kind words, Hua Lan blushed and nodded slightly, replying, "Okay, sure." Her bright eyes sparkled with joy, clearly pleased with the warm atmosphere.

Then, Jin Shuai turned his gaze to Tianxiang and Qiushui, still smiling, and asked, "Tianxiang, Qiushui, how are you two practicing those two pieces?"

Tianxiang quickly stood up and replied, "Replying to Your Excellency, I have roughly mastered it."

Jin Shuai nodded in satisfaction and said, "Very good. After dinner, Tianxiang and Qiushui, you two go and prepare your instruments. Liu Ma, tell the family to send someone to light all the lights in the garden. Tonight, we'll hold a lively party in this garden. Everyone in the Jin family should come and enjoy themselves!"

"Yes, Your Excellency," the women replied in unison, their voices clear and melodious, like the sweet song of nightingales.

"Hua'er, you two have your meal first. I need to go keep your father-in-law and uncle company." Jin Shuai said with a smile to Hua'er beside him, then turned and strode towards the dining table.

"Xi-ge'er, now that Hua'er and the others have been settled, let's start our meal!" The old man greeted everyone with a broad smile and invited them to take their seats.

Everyone gathered around the dining table and began to enjoy the sumptuous meal. The dining room was soon filled with the enticing aromas of various delicacies, making everyone's mouths water.

When everyone had almost finished eating, Jin Shuai put down his chopsticks, cleared his throat, and said, "Uncle, you don't need to worry too much about the money. After we successfully bid for the agency rights, if many merchants don't bring enough silver, they only need to pay a deposit of 10% to 30%, and the remaining balance can be paid within the stipulated time. This way, you'll have more room to maneuver when you get back."

Upon hearing this, Sheng Wei couldn't help but become curious and quickly asked, "Nephew, is there some special trick to this?"

Jin Shuai chuckled and lowered his voice to explain, "Uncle, there's a lot of room for maneuver here! For example, if you can successfully bid for the agency rights for our hometown, you only need to pay a deposit first. Then, after returning home, you can resell the remaining agency rights for those prefectures, or find other interested merchants to invest and cooperate with. This will not only alleviate financial pressure but also expand the scale of operations and quickly form a sales network."

“Nephew, wouldn’t it be better if I handled this myself? Why bother looking for another company?” Sheng Wei asked, his face full of doubt. He really didn’t understand why it was necessary to go through all that trouble, when he was clearly capable of doing everything independently.

The young man smiled slightly and patiently explained, "Uncle, I know you want to completely control the market in our hometown, but have you carefully considered the difficulties involved? First of all, it would take a lot of time to gradually expand, and it would also require continuous investment in high management costs!"
