Being a Lady of an Influential Family

Chapter 339 Jewelry Trading Market

The capital of Naga is a bustling city full of exotic customs. Although it is not as magnificent as Anxia's capital, it is much larger than Yongcheng.

Because it is also a port, the bustle and prosperity here is not inferior to places like Jiangcheng.

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

In fact, there are many foreign people in the six southern provinces, but most of these people live in fixed places and communicate with fixed people, and most of them are only a few that ordinary people in Yongcheng can see in Jiangcheng and Yingzhou.

But here it is different. There are quite a few people of all skin colors, and the local residents are also accustomed to it. At first glance, it is almost a small global village.

Leng Sa and his party were sent directly to Anxia's embassy in Naga, and Prince Carlos personally sent them through the gate before leaving. And I would like to inform all the honorable guests that they have come from afar to work hard. Tonight, only two official attendants, Prince Mu and Deputy Minister Lu, are arranged to enter the palace to meet the king. Others can rest for the night first, and when Dayin's mission arrives tomorrow, King Naga will hold a welcome dinner for all distinguished guests in the palace.

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

Everyone entered the embassy and settled down, and Dujun Long and others had to discuss with the ambassador to understand Naga's situation, so Leng Sa took a good night's sleep while doing nothing like this.

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

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

Although she does not suffer from seasickness, she has the feeling of being able to step on land and sleep on a bed placed on the ground after floating in the sea for six or seven days in a row.

Sure enough, she is still a land creature.

"Young Madam is awake?" Hearing her voice, Lan Jing opened the door and came in with a smile.

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

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

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

Lan Jing said, "Eldest Young Master went to see Prince Mu and hasn't come back yet, but Madam Chen came, knowing that Young Madam was resting, she went back first, and said she would come to play with Young Madam later."

Leng Sa got up and got out of bed, stretched out her hand to brush her messy long hair, looked at the person in the mirror who was still radiant and nodded in satisfaction, "Sister Chen, did you ask me for anything?"

Lan Jing shook her head and said, "Mrs. Chen said there's nothing wrong, she just wanted to go out with Mrs. Young."

Leng Sa smiled and said, "I remembered, Sister Chen came to Naga before, and it must be more convenient for her to take us to play than bumping around by myself. Clean up and go to play with Sister Chen." After a long trip In China, half of the time on the first day was spent sleeping, which was a bit of a waste.

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

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

The residence arranged by the embassy is also very spacious, of course it cannot be compared with the single-family villas in the capital.

They were assigned a suite with a large size. Three bedrooms, a study room, a living room, and a master bedroom with a large balcony. The floor is on the sixth floor, and you can almost see a large area outside the embassy and even the sea in the distance at a glance.

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

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

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

Fu Yucheng said, "Brother asked me to follow you."

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

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

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

Chen Wan had just gotten up when they passed by, so she was very happy to see Leng Sa coming over.

"Originally, I 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. I'm getting older, after all, it can't be compared with when I was young." Chen Wan laughed.

Leng Sa said, "It's hard to get off the boat, but I fell asleep right away, and it's because Sister Chen is much more energetic than me when she often goes out."

Chen Wan laughed and said, "If you used to flatter me, I would accept it, but now I don't dare. If you haven't returned to the six southern provinces, you don't know, but now the big girls and young wives in Yongcheng regard the eldest and young wives as The idol is highly respected, I am afraid that Young Master Fu will step aside."

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

Chen Wan shook her head, "I'm not kidding you, you're so good, who said we women are inferior to those men? Just to let them see that we not only have better brains than them, but also our skills are not inferior to them."

"Sister Chen is right." Leng Sa smiled.

Chen Wan glanced at Fu Yucheng who was drinking tea on the other side, and whispered in Leng Sa's ear, "You seem to have a better relationship with that fourth young master of your family?" What was the relationship between Fu Yucheng and Leng Sa earlier? Yes, Chen Wan has personally seen it. Just now, seeing Fu Yucheng following Leng Sa with a calm face, he was almost taken aback.

Leng Sa smiled and said, "Children are ignorant, just beat them a few times and they will behave."

Chen Wan raised her eyebrows, and immediately understood the way Leng Sa and Fu Yucheng get along with each other, she couldn't help laughing, "Forget it, I don't think Fu Sishao is a sinister person, after all, he is Fu Shao's relative, Fu Dujun's son. Brother, it is always better to ease the relationship than to draw swords."

Knowing that Chen Wan was concerned about herself, Leng Sa nodded and said, "Sister Chen, don't worry, I know it well."

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

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

Chen Wan nodded and said, "That's right, Naga is most famous for its rubies and pearls. We Anxia women have loved pearls since ancient times, but Naga's pearls are of better quality than Anxia's. Now among the high-end pearls in Anxia, Seventy percent of them come from Naga. Especially their black pearls are very beautiful. There is the largest pearl and gemstone trading market in Naga city. I came here this time to see if there are any good products. "

Leng Sa nodded, "Sister Chen also has a jewelry store at home, so I should go and have a look."

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 good to have a look.

Good things should naturally be shared with good friends. Leng Sa thought about it and called Zhang Huizhi, and Zhang Huizhi called Yu Xinyou, so the group left the embassy and headed for the city.

Because it was during the meeting of the five countries, in order to avoid diplomatic disputes caused by accidents among the envoys of various countries in Naga, the Naga side spent a lot of effort in rectifying security.

You can often see patrolling figures in uniform on the streets, and even Chen Wan said that the capital of Naga looks much better than when she came last time.

Apart from a few girls, there were Fu Yucheng who followed them and the guards who protected them. There were almost a dozen people in this mighty group.

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

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

Zhang Huizhi and Yu Xinyou's surprise was even more difficult to conceal. This place was completely different from the high-end jewelry stores they usually went in and out of. It looked like ordinary small shops, and some even set up stalls directly on the side of the road. But almost all the merchants sell the same things, pearls and gemstones of all colors.

It's not just the ruby ​​that is a specialty of Naga, all kinds of gems are not difficult to see here. It seems that in Anxia capital city, all kinds of precious gemstones that are regarded as treasures by the rich and powerful women are like cabbages on the street stalls here.

However, both of them had good eyesight, and they quickly saw that these traders, no matter gems or pearls, were good or bad. If people with insufficient eyesight come here, it is difficult to say whether they will lose or gain.

Especially gems, many of them are of such poor quality that they are not considered gems at all in Anxia, ​​and they are too embarrassing to wear them as jewelry, and they can only be used for some decorative corner embellishments.

Chen Wan led them all the way through the enthusiastic shops and vendors, and walked all the way inside.

While walking, he said to the other three people in Anxia language, "This is not only the largest jewelry trading market in Naga, but also the largest jewelry trading market in surrounding countries. Merchants from many nearby countries and places are willing to bring their goods here Trading. Because Naga’s gemstones and pearls are very famous, some merchants from afar are willing to buy more when they come here. Second, Naga’s location is very good, and shipping is also developed, like Dayin and Anxia. Although the big country in Anxia is rich and rich, many small merchants who are far away do not have boats to go there, and the risks on the road are uncontrollable. And although the jewelry merchants in Anxia have money and boats, those places are too far away and the goods are not attractive enough. If it’s not cost-effective to make a special trip, you will probably give up. Therefore, Naga can also be regarded as a transit point connecting Anxia and Dayin, a big country in the north.”

Zhang Huizhi asked Chen Wan curiously, but Leng Sa was thoughtful.

If this is the case, the matter of God's Blessed Island may not be easy to discuss.

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

In the past, God's Blessed Island had a small population, so naturally it couldn't compete with a country like Naga. However, if the Anxia official comes 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.

"sough?"

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

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

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

Chen Wan waved her hand nonchalantly, pointed to a small three-story shop behind her and said with a smile, "This is one of the three largest jewelry suppliers in Naga, let's go in and have a look?"

Leng Sa smiled and said, "Okay, but we can only take a look and carry things for Sister Chen. I'm ashamed..."

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

Chen Wan is obviously a regular customer and a big customer, the boss greeted her before she 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 really interprets the customer as God very well, without showing any signs of patriarchy.

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

Chen Wan's Naga is not fluent, but she brought a translator with her when she went out.

The boss was also very straightforward, with a big wave of his hand, he directly asked people to take out the best goods in his store for Chen Wan to choose.

Looking at the gemstones of various colors neatly placed in the box in front of him, and the boxes of pearls of various colors, Master Leng couldn't help feeling dizzy even though he was used to the big scenes.

Zhang Huizhi moved closer to her and said in a low voice, "It's the first time I feel so poor."

Leng Sa patted her and smiled, "The price here is much lower than An Xia's. If you like it, you can pick two of them and take them home for your own use or as a gift."

Zhang Huizhi directly compared the gemstone pearls of the same quality with the finished products she saw in Anxia's high-end jewelry store, and naturally felt that she was poor.

Not to mention the shipping costs of these items, the price of carving and making, and the price difference earned by the middlemen, the premiums of those jewelers alone are quite astonishing.

So the prices here are actually not as scary as Zhang Huizhi thought.

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

After asking, I found out that the price is quite beautiful. There are also shops in the capital where bare stones are customized, but the price of gemstones of the same quality here is at least 40% cheaper than that in Anxia Capital, and the price of pearls is directly discounted by 50%. This is still the public sale price, and a big jeweler like Chen Wan may be able to get a more favorable price.

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

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

Leng Sa smiled and said, "You have to be able to take risks."

This era is no different from her previous life, and going overseas to do business still has to take great risks. Sometimes it only takes one failure if you are not careful, and you have to pay for all the money you have earned in your life, and even your life.

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

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

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

After calculating the price, Zhang Huizhi could hardly control the urge to chop off his hands. Fortunately, the shy wallet stopped her in time. Zhang Huizhi always had a bad feeling that she would not become heavily in debt this time when she returned from Naga, right?

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

The boss of the goods she selected will send someone to the Anxia embassy. At that time, the professional jewelry appraiser brought by Chen Wan will inspect the goods again before making the final payment for the transaction.

Hearing that Chen Wan lived in the Anxia embassy, ​​the boss's expression became a little more solemn, and he even gave Leng Sa an extra pearl necklace for each of them. Not expensive, but 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.

After leaving the store, Chen Wan took the three of them around the trading market again, and when they came out, the sky had already darkened.

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, and a slender figure stood beside the car.

"Huh? Young Master Fu?" Zhang Huizhi asked in surprise.

Chen Wan turned her head to look at Leng Sa, with a teasing smile on her face, "Blame me, I forgot to explain to Fu Shao when I abducted Mrs. Fu Shao. Didn't Fu Shao come to Xingshi to inquire about the crime?"

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

"Young Master Fu."

"Mrs. Chen." Fu Fengcheng nodded slightly, 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 don't want me to follow Sasha? He muttered in his mouth, "My sister is not as good as my daughter-in-law. Didn't the bastard 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 Huizhi, "Miss Huizhi, please follow me, don't worry, I won't leave you behind."

After speaking, he smiled at Fu Fengcheng and said with a cold smile, "Master Fu must have other arrangements, why don't I send Miss Huizhi and Miss Yu back?"

Fu Fengcheng nodded slightly, "Thank you, Mrs. Chen." He glanced at Fu Yucheng again, "Send the ladies back."

Fu Yucheng twitched the corner of his mouth, but he could only nod aggrievedly.

Firstly, 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 always acted neatly, she took Zhang Huizhi with her left hand and Yu Xinyou with her right hand, and led the people away, Fu Yucheng also hurriedly followed.

There were already quite a few of them here, and it was enough to go back without a Leng Sa car.

After a while, only Fu Fengcheng and Leng Sa were left on the streets of Naga.

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

It's hard to find a car these days, let alone in a foreign country.

Naga's cars are even less popular than Anxia's, uh... cars really are a market with huge potential, if everyone has money.

Fu Fengcheng pulled Leng Sa into the car, and said, "Wei Changxiu."

"..." The richest man in Anxia is really inhumane!

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

Young Master Fu was still in a wheelchair more than half a month ago, isn't it too much fun to drive now?

Fu Fengcheng directly ignored the latter question, "You will know when you go to Madam."

Well, the steering wheel, accelerator and brakes are all in your hands and you have the final say.
