Chapter 543: Demand

Making money wasn't actually difficult for Xu Yuan, but raising such a large sum of silver in a short period of time still presented quite a challenge, one that was indeed significant.

As Xu Yuan surveyed the antique hall around him, he rubbed his brow and tentatively asked Hua Hong,

"Elder Hua... If someone wanted to purchase, could the payment for this sum of silver be deferred?"

"No," Hua Hong chuckled in response, then countered, "Didn't you just say you had a little money on hand?"

After a moment's silence, Xu Yuan shamelessly grinned and said,

"It's precisely because it's a little money, I thought to discuss it with you, Elder."

"Small businesses don't offer credit," Hua Hong seemed to realize this young man probably didn't have enough to cover even a fraction of the military supplies, "Old Man Hua will take care of the Huizhou County matter for you, but as for these military supplies... come to Old Man Hua when you have gathered enough silver."
