Being a Lady of an Influential Family: 341, jewelry trading market

The capital of Naga is a prosperous city full of exotic flavors. Although it is not as magnificent as the capital of Anxia, ​​it is much larger than the city of Yong.

Because it is also a port at the same time, the lively and bustling level here is not inferior to places like Jiangcheng.

On the way to the embassy, ​​you can almost see people of all skin and hair colors coming and going on the street.

There are actually a lot of foreigners in the six southern provinces, but most of these people live in fixed places and interact with fixed people, and most of them are in Jiangcheng and Yingzhou, and the common people in Yongcheng are only a few.

But it is different here. There are many people of all skin colors, and the local residents are also used to it. At first glance, it looks like a small global village.

Leng Sa and his party were sent directly to Anxia's embassy in Naga, where Prince Carlos personally sent them through the gate before leaving. I also informed all the distinguished guests that they have come from a long distance to work hard. Tonight, only two official servants, Prince Mu and Deputy Minister Lu, were arranged to enter the palace to meet the king. Others can rest for a night first, and after Da Yin's delegation arrives tomorrow, King Naga will hold a welcome dinner for the distinguished guests in the palace.

It took almost half a month to walk from the capital to Naga, which was indeed a bit hard.

Everyone entered the embassy and settled down. The Dragon Governor and others had to discuss with the ambassador to understand Naga's situation. Leng Sa took a good sleep first without doing anything.

It was noon when they arrived at the Anxia embassy in Naga, and it was already four o'clock in the afternoon when Leng Sa woke up.

Sitting on the bed, I stretched and moved my body, and I couldn't help but sigh, "It feels so good to be down-to-earth."

Although she doesn't get seasick, the feeling of being able to step on land while floating at sea for six or seven days in a row, and sleeping on a bed on the ground, is a feeling of stability that she doesn't have on a boat.

Sure enough, she's still a terrestrial creature.

"The young lady is awake?" Hearing her voice, Lan Jing pushed open the door and came in and laughed.

Leng Sa said, "Aren't you tired just getting off the boat? Why don't you take a rest?"

Lan Jing smiled, "Yuan Ying went to rest, I'll change shifts with her later."

Leng Sa nodded, "If you feel tired, just rest for a while. I don't need anyone to do anything here. Where's Fu Fengcheng?"

Lan Jing said, "Young Master went to see Prince Mu and hasn't come back yet, but Mrs. Chen came over. Knowing that the young lady was resting, she went back first, saying that she would come to see the young lady later."

Leng Sa got up and got out of bed, stretched out her hand to fold her long messy hair, looked at the person in the mirror still radiant and nodded with satisfaction, "Sister Chen said that she has something to do with me?"

Lan Jing shook her head and said, "Mrs. Chen said there was nothing wrong, she just wanted to go out with the young lady."

Leng Sa said with a smile, "I remember, Sister Chen has been to Naga, and it would be more convenient for her to play with us than to ram around on our own. Clean up and find Sister Chen to play with." It is easy to travel abroad, and half of the time on the first day is used to sleep, which is also a bit of a waste.

Lan Jing nodded, her eyes sparkling. On the way to the embassy at noon, she just looked outside through the car window. She only felt that the scenery and customs were completely different from An Xia, and she was indeed a little curious.

The two of them packed up, and as soon as they went out, they saw Fu Yucheng sitting in the living room reading a book.

The residences arranged by the embassy are also very spacious, of course not comparable to the single-family villas in the capital.

They were assigned a large suite. Three bedrooms, a study, a living room, the master bedroom also has a large balcony. The floor is on the sixth floor, and when you look out, you can almost see the large scenery outside the embassy and even the sea in the distance.

Fu Fengcheng was worried that Fu Yucheng would cause trouble in Naga, so he directly slipped him to live with him.

"Sister-in-law." Seeing Leng Sa coming out, Fu Yucheng quickly got up and said. After these days of education of love and iron blood, Fu Yucheng has been able to call her sister-in-law calmly and convincingly.

Leng Sa said: "Why are you sitting here alone and not going out with anyone?"

Fu Yucheng said, "Brother let me follow you."

"..." Leng Sa wanted to say that I went to see Sister Chen to play, what are you doing with a group of women? But after thinking about it, I also understood Fu Fengcheng's intention, nodded and said, "Okay, let's go then."

Fu Yucheng quickly put the book aside, "sister-in-law, where are we going?"

Leng Sa said, "Go out to find someone to play with."

Chen Wan had just stood up when they passed, and she was very happy to see Leng Sa coming.

"I originally wanted to take you around the city, but I didn't expect you to be resting, so I came back to rest after thinking about it. When I'm old, I can't compare to when I was young." Chen Wan said with a smile .

Leng Sa said, "I finally got off the boat, but I fell asleep at once, or Sister Chen often goes out in a much better spirit than me."

Chen Wan laughed and said, "If you always flattered me, I would have suffered, but now I don't dare. You didn't go back to the six southern provinces, you don't know, now the big girls and little wives in Yongcheng are all seniors. The young lady is highly regarded as an idol, and I am afraid that Young Master Fu will have to stand aside."

Leng Sa was a little helpless, "Sister Chen laughed at me."

Chen Wan shook her head, "I don't laugh at you, you are so good, who said we women are not as good as those men? Just to show them that we are not only better in brains than them, but also in skills. "

"Sister Chen is right." Leng Sa smiled.

Chen Wan glanced at Fu Yucheng, who was sitting on the other side drinking tea, and whispered in Leng Sa's ear, "It seems that you have a good relationship with the fourth young master of your family?" Fu Yucheng had a relationship with Leng Sa earlier What it is like, Chen Wan has personally seen it. I was almost taken aback when I saw Fu Yucheng following Leng Sa calmly.

Smiles coldly, "Children are not sensible, just play a few more times and they will be good."

Chen Wan raised her eyebrows and immediately understood how Leng Sa and Fu Yucheng were getting along with each other. She couldn't help laughing, "Well, I don't think Fourth Young Master Fu looks like a sinister person, he is Fu Dujun's son. Less blood brothers, it is always better to ease the relationship than to draw the sword.”

Knowing that Chen Wan is concerned about herself, she nodded coldly, "Sister Chen, don't worry, I know what I know."

Chen Wan smiled, "I don't need to worry about your intelligence, do you know what Naga is most famous for?"

Leng Sa thought for a while, "I remember that Naga seems to be rich in rubies and pearls."

Chen Wan nodded and said, "Yes, Naga is most famous for rubies and pearls. We Anxia women have loved pearls since ancient times, but Naga's pearls are of better quality than those produced in Anxia. Today, Anxia is high-end. Seventy percent of the pearls are from Naga. Especially their black pearls are very beautiful. Naga has the largest pearl and gemstone trading market. I came here to see if there is anything Good stuff."

Leng Sa nodded, "Sister Chen also has a jewelry store at home, it's time to check it out."

Chen Wan looked at her with a smile, "Go?"

"Go!" Leng Sa said without hesitation, no woman can resist the charm of jewelry, even if you don't buy it, it's fine.

Of course, good things must be shared with good friends. Leng Sa thought about it and called Zhang Huizhi again, and Zhang Huizhi called Yu Xinyou again, so the group went out of the embassy and headed for the city. went.

Because it was during the five-nation meeting, Naga spent a lot of effort on security in order to avoid diplomatic disputes caused by the envoys of various countries in Naga.

You can often see patrols in uniform on the streets. Even Chen Wan said that the capital of Naga looks much better than the last time she came.

In addition to a few girls, they also had Fu Yucheng and the guards who kept them safe. There were almost a dozen people in the mighty group.

Chen Wan said the jewelry trading market is in the west of the city by the sea, not too far from the Anxia embassy.

Although I heard Chen Wan say that I was mentally prepared along the way, I couldn't help being a little shocked when I saw it.

The surprise of Zhang Huizhi and Yu Xinyou is even more difficult to conceal. It is completely different from the high-end jewelry stores they usually go in and out of. It looks like a small ordinary store, and some even set up stalls directly on the roadside. . But almost all businesses sell the same thing, all kinds of pearls, all kinds of gems.

It's not just the rubies that are special to Naga, all kinds of gems are not difficult to find here. As if the precious gems of various colors that were regarded as treasures by the powerful ladies in the capital of Anxia are as common as the cabbage on the street stall here.

However, both of them are also discerning, and it soon becomes apparent that these vendors, whether gemstones or pearls, are of mixed quality. If people with insufficient eyesight come here, it is difficult to say whether they will lose or gain.

Especially gems, many of which are of such poor quality that they are not even considered gems in Anxia. They are embarrassed to wear them as jewelry, and can only be used as decorative corners.

Chen Wan took them all the way through the shops and vendors who were welcoming customers, and walked all the way inside.

While walking, he said to the other three in Anxia, ​​"This is not only the largest jewelry trading market in Naga, but also the largest jewelry trading market in the surrounding countries. Merchants from many nearby countries and places are willing to bring their own goods. Come here to trade. Because Naga's gems and pearls are very famous, some merchants who come from afar are willing to buy more. Second, Naga's location is very good, and shipping is also developed, such as Dayin and Although a big country like Anxia is rich, many small merchants who are far away have no boats to pass by themselves, and the risks on the road are uncontrollable. Although Anxia's jewelry merchants have money and boats, but those places are too far away, and there is no commodity. It is attractive enough, and if it is not cost-effective to take a special trip, most of them will give up. Therefore, Naga can also be regarded as a transit point connecting Anxia and Dayin, a major northern country."

Zhang Huizhi curiously pulled Chen Wan to ask questions, but Leng Sa was thoughtful.

If that's the case, I'm afraid it's not easy to talk about God's Blessed Island.

It's not just about minerals and land, will the Naga worry about the Anxia people building a second regional transit center on God's Blessed Island?

Once upon a time, Divine Blessed Island was sparsely populated and naturally could not compete with a country like Naga. But if Anxia officials come forward and Anxia's businessmen support it, as long as the policy is in place, it will not be difficult to establish a sea transfer station to replace Naga.

"Sasha?"

Leng Sa blinked, looking innocently at the few people standing in front of him staring at him, "What?"

Zhang Huizhi walked back and pulled Leng Sa forward, "We're here, what are you thinking? You didn't even hear it."

Leng Sa smiled a little embarrassedly, "I'm a little lost thinking about something, sorry."

Chen Wan waved her hand indifferently, pointed to a shop in a three-story building behind her and smiled, "This is one of the three largest jewelry suppliers in Naga, go in and have a look?"

Smiles coldly, "Okay, but we can probably only take a look and carry things for Sister Chen. It's a shame..."

Chen Wan smiled helplessly, "I'm just a jerk. If you want me to buy it all for my own use, I can't afford it."

Chen Wan is obviously an old customer and a big one, and the boss greeted her before she even entered the door.

The status of Naga women is even lower than that of An Xia, but the male boss is very enthusiastic about Chen Wan, and he truly deduces that the customer is God very well, and there is no sign of patriarchal preference at all.

It can be seen that there is no rule in this world that money can't solve. If it can't, it is probably not enough money.

Chen Wan is not very fluent in Naga, but she goes out with an interpreter.

The boss is also very refreshing, with a big wave of his hand, he directly asks Chen Wan to take out the best goods in his store for Chen Wan to choose.

Looking at the various colored gems neatly placed in the box, and the boxes of various colored pearls, Mr. Leng couldn't help but feel a little dizzy because he was used to seeing the big scene.

Zhang Huizhi approached her and whispered, "This is the first time I feel so poor."

Leng Sa patted her with a smile and said, "The price here is much lower than that of An Xia. If you like it, you can pick two pieces to take home for yourself or as a gift."

Zhang Huizhi directly compared gemstones and pearls of the same quality with the finished products she saw in the Anxia High Jewelry Store, and naturally felt that she was very poor.

Aside from the shipping costs of these things, the price of carving, and the difference between the middlemen, the premiums of those jewelers alone are quite staggering.

So the prices of things here are actually not as horrible as Zhang Huizhi thought.

While Chen Wan was talking about business, Zhang Huizhi took Leng Sa and Yu Xinyou around the store.

As soon as I asked, I found that the price is quite beautiful. There are also custom-made shops for loose stones in Beijing, but the price of gemstones of the same quality here is at least 40% cheaper than that of Anxia Jingcheng, and the price of pearls is directly discounted. This is still the price of the public sale. I am afraid that a large-scale jewelry merchant such as Chen Wan can get a better price.

"I really want to be a jeweler, too." Zhang Huizhi muttered.

Yu Xinyou glanced at her, and rarely interrupted her delusion, "First of all, you have to be rich."

Smiles coldly, "You have to be able to take risks."

This era is no different than her previous life, and doing business overseas still involves taking great risks. Sometimes it only takes one failure to be careful, and the money earned in a lifetime has to be included, and even a small life has to be included.

Zhang Huizhi calculated his poor savings and sadly gave up the idea of ​​making a lot of money.

But even so, the three of them chose a few things they liked.

Because they came with Chen Wan, the boss generously gave them a 20% discount.

Zhang Huizhi calculated the price and almost couldn't control the urge to chop his hands. Fortunately, her shy purse stopped her in time. Zhang Huizhi always had a bad hunch. Shouldn't she become heavily in debt when she returned from Naga this time?

After Chen Wan finished talking about business, she and Leng Sa and others said goodbye to the boss.

She selects the goods and the owner will send someone to the Anxia embassy. At that time, the professional jewelry appraiser brought by Chen Wan will inspect the goods again before the final payment transaction.

I heard that Chen Wan lived in the Anxia embassy, ​​the boss's expression became more solemn, and he even gave Leng Sa three people a pearl necklace. It's not expensive, but it's very affordable. It can be seen that he is very good at life, no wonder he can become one of the largest jewelers in Naga.

Leaving the store, Chen Wan took the three of them around the trading market, and when they came out, it was already dark.

As soon as they walked out of the gate of the trading market, everyone saw a car parked on the side of the road outside the market, with a slender and tall figure standing beside the car.

"Huh? Master Fu?" Zhang Huizhi said in surprise.

Chen Wan turned her head to look at Leng Sa, with a somewhat teasing smile on her face, "Blame me, I forgot to explain to Master Fu after abducting Mrs. Fu Shao, isn't Fu Shao here to ask the teacher for guilt?"

"Sister Chen..." Leng Sa was a little helpless, and Fu Fengcheng had already walked towards them.

"Fu Shao."

"Mrs. Chen." Fu Fengcheng nodded slightly and glanced at Zhang Huizhi and Yu Xinyou, "Zhang Jingzhi asked you to go back early."

Zhang Huizhi rolled his eyes, didn't he just drive me away and didn't want me to follow Sa Sa? In his mouth, he murmured, "Sister is not as good as a daughter-in-law, didn't my **** brother come to pick me up? What if I was left alone on the street in a foreign country by Fu Shao?"

Chen Wan smiled and pulled Zhang Huiyi, "Miss Huizhi, please come with me, don't worry, I won't leave you behind."

After finishing speaking, he smiled at Fu Fengcheng and Leng Sa, "You must have other arrangements for Mr. Fu. Why don't I send Miss Huizhi and Miss Yu back?"

Fu Fengcheng nodded slightly, "Mrs. Lao Chen." He glanced at Fu Yucheng again, "Send a few ladies back."

Fu Yucheng twitched the corners of his mouth, but could only nod his head sullenly.

First, he didn't dare to resist Fu Fengcheng, and secondly, he didn't want to follow him to be a light bulb and be fed dog food.

Chen Wan has always acted neatly. She took Zhang Huizhi with her left hand and Yu Xinyou with her right hand and left with her, and Fu Yucheng quickly followed.

There were already a lot of people here, so it's enough to go back without a Leng Sa car.

A moment later, only Fu Fengcheng and Leng Sa were left on the streets of Naga.

Leng Sa looked at Fu Fengcheng's raised eyebrows and glanced at the car parked not far away, "Is this the car of the Naga Embassy?"

Cars are hard to find these days, let alone abroad.

Cars in Naga are less popular than those in Ansha, uh... The car is really a market with great potential, if everyone has the money.

Fu Fengcheng pulled Leng Sa into the car and said, "It's done by the chief guard."

"..." Anxia's richest man is really inhuman!

"Where are we going? Do you want me to drive?" Leng Sa looked at Fu Fengcheng in the driver's seat and asked worriedly.

About half a month ago, Mr. Fu was still in a wheelchair. Is it too much to drive now?

Fu Fengcheng directly ignored the latter question, "I'll know when I go to my wife."

Well, the steering wheel and the accelerator and brake are in your hands.
