Chapter 236 Talking about business
When the mother and daughter woke up, it was already dark.
Shang Wan listened to the noise in the inn and found that everyone was gathered in the lobby, so he carried Yuanyuan downstairs.
The little baby was a little clingy after just waking up, hugging Shang Wan's neck and rubbing against him.
Shang Wan patted her back gently to comfort her.
"That's great. Come and sit down." Madam Hua saw Shang Wan walking to the stairs and waved at her.
Shang Wan held Yuanyuan and sat down beside her. Madam Hua reached out and took the baby who was clinging to her mother and fed her goat's milk.
"Having trouble getting information?"
The expressions of the ladies were quite solemn. When they heard Shang Wan's question, Madam Shu nodded and sighed softly: "The caravan in Boss Zhan's hands is probably really a problem."
Shang Wan picked up the kettle and poured himself a cup of tea: "What do you mean?"
"Another person died in the caravan, a guard. The government officials took Mr. Zhan back for questioning. The news that the caravan was cursed has spread. Many people in the city are discussing it and want the government to drive the people out of the caravan so as not to implicate everyone."
Madam Shu frowned, looking worried.
Shang Wan took a sip of tea and said, "Isn't this a good thing?"
"Ah?" The other ladies looked over, seeking an answer.
Shang Wan: "Now that the news has spread, shouldn't we take the opportunity to lower the price?"
She asked Lord An to make the news public. Who would be willing to be a sucker if they could spend less money?
"But..." Madam Shu pursed her red lips, "People keep dying in the caravan, and the murderer hasn't been caught yet. What if we buy it and bring the murderer along with us?"
She is just not afraid of the curse, not the killer.
Mrs. Lou asked, "Can't we wait until the murderer is caught before buying it?"
"No." Shang Wan and Madam Shu said in unison. They looked at each other and saw the same meaning in each other's eyes.
Now that the murderer has been caught, how can they take advantage of the situation?
After this village, there is no such shop.
"Then buy it." Madam Hua thought more simply, "This matter will not be accomplished in a day or two. Let's negotiate with him slowly. Isn't it enough to buy it before the murderer is caught?"
This is a solution, but the timing is not so easy to catch, and Boss Zhan is not a fool.
"I think we should buy it as soon as possible." Shang Wan put down his teacup and said to everyone, "The news has spread. We are definitely not the only ones who want to take advantage of the bargain. The longer things are delayed, the more likely it is that something unexpected will happen."
She didn't want to make the trip in vain.
"As for the murderer, I'll wait for him to come." Shang Wan raised his lips to a smile, which made the ladies feel cold in their hearts.
Madam Shu didn't want to miss this good opportunity to pick up a bargain. She calmed herself down, coughed and said, "Is it settled then?"
Madam Lou and Madam Hua both looked at Shang Wan. Seeing the nonchalant expression on his face, they inexplicably felt more confident and courageous.
They’re just killers, they also have Shang Wan!
They both nodded in unison, "It's settled!"

The next day, at the Zhan Mansion.
In the bedroom, the servant handed over the visiting card, "Master, someone handed over a visiting card."
A big hand stretched out from behind the curtain and took the visiting card.
After a rustling sound, the figure behind the curtain sat up and said, "Please come in, guests."
"Yes." The servant left the bedroom.
"dressing."
Maids came in one after another carrying things and helped the person who came out from behind the curtain to dress and wash.
At the same time, Shang Wan and his party were led by the steward of the Zhan Mansion to the front hall to wait.
The maid came up to serve tea and took a closer look at the baby Shang Wan was holding.
This doll is so cute.
Yuanyuan tilted her little head and smiled at her. The maid was so cute that she covered her heart with her hands. It was so adorable!
The group waited for about fifteen minutes, and just when Shang Wan was getting impatient, Boss Zhan finally arrived.
Shang Wan glanced at the visitor and found that just as Madam Shu had said, this Boss Zhan was not very good-looking.
But it is not entirely true to say that there is nothing good about her appearance. At least her eyes are very beautiful.
A pair of falcon eyes, with a bit of viciousness, seem to be able to see the secrets deep in people's hearts at a glance.
While Shang Wan was looking at Boss Zhan, Boss Zhan was also looking at the four people present.
He had heard of the Lancang Society, and that all the members were women. Now he saw that it was true.
The most outstanding looking one among them was the lady holding a child sitting on his lower right. She looked very young, probably less than 20 years old, but her temperament was different from the other three. He couldn't put his finger on it, but instinctively paid more attention to her.
Before coming, Shang Wan and the other three had already discussed it. It was mainly Shu Niangzi who would be responsible for the negotiations, while the other three would play supporting roles.
When discussing business, one always has to exchange pleasantries first to warm up the atmosphere.
Madam Shu and Boss Zhan talked back and forth for half a cup of tea before they got down to business.
There was another round of mutual testing. Shang Wan felt exhausted just listening to it. He pinched his round little hands while secretly observing the person sitting above.
She always felt that there was something wrong with this person, but she couldn't tell what it was.
Half an hour later, the negotiation finally began, and Madam Shu asked to meet the leader of the caravan.
This request was reasonable, so Boss Zhan immediately ordered someone to invite him over.
The leader of the caravan was a middle-aged man with a full beard and a rather unkempt appearance. His last name was Yang, and everyone in the caravan called him Boss Yang or the boss.
Boss Yang came in and greeted Boss Zhan first. When he raised his head, the dark circles under his eyes were particularly obvious, as if he had been punched.
I think the fact that the caravan was cursed and people kept dying must have put a lot of pressure on him, and he might even have been unable to sleep at night.
Boss Zhan said to Boss Yang: "Please tell the ladies in detail about the caravan's situation."
"Yes." Boss Yang seemed to have been prepared. He explained the caravan's personnel composition, cargo configuration, vehicle configuration, where they had been, and what business they were good at.
His logic is clear and his word choice is precise. Just by listening to him you can understand the general situation of the caravan.
It is obvious that this Boss Yang is not just a name.
Madam Shu's eyes swept over Boss Yang and she secretly glanced at Shang Wan.
Shang Wan understood and coughed lightly.
Boss Yang immediately shut up and turned around to look.
Shang Wan smiled and said, "I heard that the caravan was cursed. Please tell me more about the curse."
Upon hearing this, Boss Yang's face immediately turned ugly, with regret and fear mixed in his eyes. He subconsciously looked towards Boss Zhan at the top.
His eyes swept over Shang Wan, and Boss Zhan said with a smile: "The curse is purely a rumor. Boss Shang, don't listen to the nonsense from outsiders. It's not true."
"The news came from the government. People from the caravan have been dying one after another. Boss Zhan really thinks he can keep it secret?"
Shang Wan raised her eyes to the man sitting in the main seat, her eyes were heavy, "Or is it that Boss Zhan is bullying us sisters who don't know the inside story, trying to trick us into spending a lot of money to buy a hot potato?"
"Boss Shang, you are joking. I am a businessman who values credibility. How could I deceive you?"
Boss Zhan stopped smiling, with a hint of anger in his expression, as if Shang Wan had really wronged him. "If you don't believe me, then let's not discuss this deal."
