Chapter 675
: Lin De travels to the Lin family and witnesses the huge power of Jiangnan’s business ty
The Lin family shop won the high trust of customers and its name was widely known across the country, making it one of the well-deserved representatives of Jiangnan business.
During the peak trading season, the Lin family shop is like a huge magnet, attracting visitors from all directions.
The bustling scene was truly filled with people and the prosperity was evident.
Merchants from all over the country have long heard of the good reputation of the Lin family shop, and its fame has spread far and wide, like thunder in their ears.
With full of enthusiasm and anticipation, they took the trouble to come from thousands of miles away.
The crowds of people in front of the shops were like a surging tide, bustling and shoulder to shoulder.
It seems like the commercial vitality of the entire Jiangnan region and even more distant places.
They all gather in front of this small shop, bursting with endless vitality.
People were moving in a hurry but in an orderly manner, and everyone's face was filled with an eager desire for business.
As soon as the merchants stepped into the store, they couldn't wait to move between the dazzling shelves.
Their eyes are as sharp as hawks as they search for the goods they desire, their eyes full of eagerness and concentration.
A wealthy businessman dressed in gorgeous brocade robes slowly walked to a piece of silk.
He reached out his hand and touched the silk with his fingertips.
It's like a feather brushing across the water, soft and delicate.
Then the wealthy businessman in brocade robe frowned slightly, carefully felt the texture of the silk, and muttered to himself.
"The texture of this silk is fine and smooth, and the color is warm, it must be top quality.
I just wonder how much effort the weaver put into it."
The shopkeeper beside him smiled, bowed slightly, and said respectfully: "Sir, you have good taste. This piece of silk is the best product in our shop, made by the best weavers in Jiangnan.
Every stitch is carefully crafted.”
The wealthy businessman in brocade robe nodded slightly, with a hint of satisfaction in his eyes.
"In that case, I'll take this piece of silk.
But the price still needs further consideration."
The shopkeeper still had a smile on his face and responded in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "Don't worry, sir. We at the Lin family shop have always been honest and fair, so the prices are naturally fair and reasonable.
But if you are sincere in purchasing, I will try to get you the best price."
Not far away, an elegant merchant was carefully lifting a piece of porcelain and placing it under the light.
Squint your eyes and look carefully.
His expression was extremely focused, as if the whole world had disappeared, leaving only the piece of porcelain in his hand that carried the exquisite craftsmanship of Jiangnan.
The elegant merchant shook his head slightly and said softly: "Although this porcelain is beautiful, it has a slight flaw. I'm afraid the price should be lowered."
The shop assistant nearby came over and said with a smile, "Sir, you may not know that this porcelain is handmade, so some flaws are inevitable.
But this does not affect its overall quality and value.
Look at this shape, this pattern, which part is not exquisite?"
The elegant merchant thought for a moment and slowly said, “That being said, this flaw is a pity after all.
If the price was lower, I would buy it.”
The shop assistant looked at the shopkeeper, and only when he nodded slightly did he say, "Since you are so sincere, I will give you a 10% discount. What do you think?"
The elegant merchant nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, deal."
In the tea display area, a tea merchant was leaning over slightly and gently picking up a handful of tea leaves.
Place it on the tip of your nose, inhale slowly, and smell the rich aroma of the tea.
He just closed his eyes slightly, as if wanting the unique fragrance of tea to penetrate deep into his soul.
Then the tea merchant opened his eyes and frowned slightly. "Although the aroma of this tea is strong, it is not pure enough. I'm afraid it's not old enough."
The shopkeeper came forward and explained with a smile: "Sir, you are indeed an expert.
This tea is indeed new tea, but it tastes fresh and refreshing with a unique flavor.
In addition, the price is relatively affordable, which is very suitable for those who like to try new things. ”
The tea merchant thought for a moment and said, "In that case, I will buy some to try.
If the taste is good, I will definitely buy it again in the future.”
Throughout the shop, the sounds of transactions and bargaining could be heard one after another.
Merchants negotiated with each other over the price of their desired goods, expressing their different opinions, and their words revealed their business wisdom and shrewdness.
However, in this fierce price confrontation, there are occasional hearty laughters from businessmen, which convey their enjoyment and satisfaction with this business exchange.
The guys moved enthusiastically among the crowd, with sincere smiles on their faces.
These shop assistants greet every customer with a loud and enthusiastic voice, and patiently introduce the features and advantages of the products to them.
These sounds interweave together to compose a lively commercial melody, vividly demonstrating the glory and endless vitality of the Lin family shop on the business stage.
Of course, in the prosperous and wealthy area of Jiangnan, the money shop is undoubtedly the backbone of the Lin family's economic strength.
It is like a solid financial fortress, injecting endless vitality into commercial activities in the entire Jiangnan region and providing strong and indispensable financial support.
It is like a pair of invisible but powerful hands, silently pushing the Jiangnan commercial giant forward from behind.
The business scope of Lin's Money House was extremely broad, covering almost many important aspects of the financial field at that time.
For merchants traveling across Jiangnan, the Lin family bank was like a reliable treasure trove of funds.
Linde sat back in his seat, picked up the teacup and took a sip, with a leisurely look on his face.
“The Lin family bank has been of great help to many businessmen.
No matter which businessman wants to expand the scale of business, open a new store, or prepare large-scale purchases of goods.
As long as you meet the bank's lending standards, you can get a substantial loan here to help you out of your immediate needs."
The cold woman next to her raised her eyebrows slightly, with a hint of curiosity in her eyes.
Then she asked with great interest: "What about the lending standard?
It’s not possible that just anyone can borrow money, right? "
Linde thought for a moment and slowly explained: "The Lin family naturally has a set of rigorous considerations for this loan standard.
We must not only consider the merchant’s reputation, but also assess his management and repayment capabilities.
Our bank will naturally not take the risk of lending money to merchants with bad credit and poor management.
Only in this way can we ensure the safety of the bank's funds and truly help those merchants in need."
The cold woman nodded slightly and said thoughtfully: "I see, this makes sense.
But how do we judge their reputation and management ability?"
Linde smiled slightly, with a hint of confidence in his eyes.
"It's not difficult.
Our bank has dedicated personnel to investigate merchants’ past transaction records and understand their credit status.
At the same time, their operating conditions will also be evaluated, including their asset size, profitability, etc.
Through these comprehensive considerations, we can make relatively accurate judgments. ”
The cold woman nodded slightly, "It seems that the Lin family bank does have a rigorous management system."
