In an instant, figures were kicking and people were shouting. Due to the large number of people, Ling Yun couldn't remember who was following whom. He wanted to stop him, but these people didn't listen to him at all.
He had no choice but to wave his hands and shout loudly, "Quiet, gentlemen, please be quiet for now. Please allow me to speak."
Finally, under his roar, these people were able to calm down, and Ling Yun breathed a sigh of relief. Otherwise, if he had let them talk, he would not have been able to remember what they said.
"My lords, please tell me the truth. There are only thirty fans now..."
When they heard that there were only thirty planes, these people immediately panicked, especially He Yushan, who immediately grabbed his hand and said hurriedly, "Give me my five planes first."
"I also want five..."
If this continued, I was afraid that there would be another argument, so I quickly stopped it and said, "Stop, stop, stop."
Everyone looks at me and I look at you, but the anxious expression on their faces remains.
Ling Yun said loudly again, "My lords, I would like to say that the number of these fans is really limited, so I have the guts to make my own decision, and each person can only buy one."
Out of consideration, he could only make this decision, because these people had higher official positions than him, so don't offend him if you can, otherwise he wouldn't even know if he was wearing small shoes that day.
As soon as this was said, everyone except He Yushan agreed.
But even if He Yushan doesn't want to do anything, he can't change the final result.
Ling Yun asked the thirty people in front to register one by one, especially the address, so that it would be easier for him to deliver the goods to their door.
These people were not surprised by his door-to-door delivery, but when registering, they kept talking, wanting to buy more.
Of course Ling Yun doesn't want to, this kind of hunger marketing can achieve the greatest effect. If the supply exceeds demand, although he will make money, he will definitely be criticized. He might as well make a little money at the beginning, and make some favors along the way, why not!
If you want to take root in Kyoto, you must have a business acumen and a sense of worldliness.
The first thirty people were all ministers of third rank or above. As for those at lower ranks, they could only stand and watch.
Do you want to say they don't want it?
Of course I do, but no one would offend the superiors just for a fan, so although there were many people, it was quite orderly.
Headed by He Yushan, registration was completed one by one.
It is worth mentioning that when it was Gao Anxiang's turn, you could see that his expression was a bit stiff, probably because he was afraid that Ling Yun would not sell it to him because of the court issue.
But what he didn't expect was that Ling Yun had no such idea at all. Everyone who came here was treated equally, which made him feel relieved and his expression softened a little.
After these people left, Ling Yun looked at the people waiting beside him and said thoughtfully, "My lords, although there is no stock in stock, you can still make a reservation. When you register, please indicate the word reservation.
The official will make them and deliver them to your door one by one in order."
As soon as these words came out, everyone who had originally looked depressed suddenly beamed with joy. Although it would be relatively late, at least the trip was not in vain.
So everyone unanimously said, "Okay, okay, this method is good."
After the registration was completed, Ling Yun was surprised to find that the number of registered people was over a hundred. In other words, as soon as Emperor Qianxi publicized it, all the ministers of the Jinluan Palace came to him to buy fans. This wave can be said to be a huge profit.
A large fan sells for 500 taels, and 100 is equivalent to 50,000 taels. Even if the cost and share are excluded, he can still make ten thousand taels, and he feels satisfied.
During this period of time, Lingyun had of course more than thirty fans in stock. A rough calculation was that there were at least fifty fans. However, the area occupied by the fans was too large. Even if he rented several small courtyards near the blacksmith shop, he still felt that the space was too large. insufficient.
Furthermore, the lack of space is only one of the reasons. On the other hand, I am worried that the yard will be stolen. If someone steals it, the consequences will be disastrous.
Nowadays, almost all the servants of the Li family who can be used are put to use, but they still feel that they are short of manpower.
After much deliberation, and also to prevent accidents from happening, he decided to suspend production.
Just from this moment on, they can not only release production, but also work overtime to increase production.
Furthermore, the original small iron shop could no longer meet the demand. The next thing to do was to expand the production base to increase production.
The money has been allocated by Emperor Qianxi, so there is no need to worry.
As for manpower, he asked Xiao Lizi directly for it. No matter how he used Emperor Qianxi's men, they would never betray them or steal them and sell them.
There were only a few people in the Hanlin Academy who could attend the morning court. When the court ministers came to the Hanlin Academy wearing official uniforms, it would naturally cause a shock. So when the ministers dispersed, another group of people gathered around them.
Zhao Yulong was the first to come in. He immediately looked around Ling Yun's office and found that there was nothing unusual. His eyes swept over Ling Yun's body again, but he still found nothing special.
He had no choice but to wonder, "Ling Yun, what happened here just now?"
Ling Yun naturally knew what he wanted to ask, but he just smiled and had no intention of explaining, so he casually shook his head and said perfunctorily, "It's okay."
This answer made Zhao Yulong stunned. He stared at him. Obviously, this extremely perfunctory reason could not be dismissed. He frowned and said, "It's okay. This...how can this be okay?"
Ling Yun smiled and said nothing, letting him pester him however he wanted, but refused to explain.
Zhao Yulong had no choice but to retreat. The others saw that even Zhao Yulong could not ask the reason, so they had no choice but to return disappointed.
Seeing that all the people had finally dispersed, Ling Yun looked up to the sky and let out a long sigh, thinking that it was all done, otherwise it would have been a headache. Unexpectedly, before he could calm down, Wang Chengyun walked in with a straight face.
Although he didn't speak, Ling Yun, who was sitting, clearly felt a chill coming from behind. So he turned around and took a closer look, and was shocked to find that Wang Chengyun was standing behind him at some point.
Ling Yun looked at him and noticed the anger in the visitor's eyes. He was confused, stood up suddenly, and said politely, "Master Wang, why are you here?"
"snort!"
Wang Chengyun snorted and did not reply. He only waved his right hand vigorously to show his dissatisfaction. This look made Ling Yun look confused and didn't know what the visitor meant.
Helpless, Ling Yun could only bow down and edit, saying softly, "Master Wang, is there anything I did wrong?"
Wang Chengyun glanced at him and said displeasedly, "I told you to leave quickly just now, why are you standing still and not leaving?"
"ah?"
Wang Chengyun's words made Ling Yun confused, wondering when he would let him go?
Besides, it was my duty time, so why did I leave?
Could it be because... I didn't buy a fan?
Thinking of this, he knew the reason why Wang Chengyun was angry. He just snickered and said with his eyes wandering, "Sir, please don't be angry. In fact, the fan has been prepared for you."
"Really...really?"
These words made Wang Cheng tremble and stared into Ling Yun's eyes, trying to confirm whether what he said was true.
"Sir, can I still lie to you?"
"You boy, I know how can you forget me when you have good things, hahaha... Okay, good boy."
Wang Chengyun came and went quickly.
After he left, Feng Liangji also came.
Needless to say, the fact that he had a fan must have been revealed to Feng Liangji by Wang Chengyun just after he left. Otherwise, Feng Liangji would not have come as soon as Wang Chengyun left.
Feng Liangji agreed to leave him alone, so Feng Liangji stopped clinging to him.
Five hundred and two fans per fan is not considered expensive, but for some officials with lower official positions and no extra income, it is not something they can afford if they want to.
So he planned to make a batch of simple ones so that he could make more money.
After the value was dispersed, Ling Yun immediately found Xiao Lizi and asked for additional manpower. The latter said nothing, waved his hands, and directly threw him fifty people. Half of these fifty people were blacksmiths, which made him ecstatic.
.
When he returned to the iron shop, he began to deliver the fans in stock to his door one by one according to the registered list. He used a horse-drawn carriage to deliver the goods, so no one knew what was inside.
Ling Yun did not follow him to deliver the goods, because he wanted to watch the production while arranging the delivery. Twenty-five people were divided into five batches, and the first thirty names were delivered in about an hour.
Although there were still goods left, Ling Yun did not continue to deliver them. Instead, he stopped and planned to deliver them again tomorrow.
After receiving fifteen thousand taels of silver, Ling Yun took out ten thousand taels and returned it to Emperor Qianxi. The remaining five thousand taels were divided into four hundred taels for the workers who had helped before.
Each of the four craftsmen received 20 taels, and the others received 10 taels each. As for the newcomers, he did not pay them because they were all goods he had hoarded before.
However, Ling Yun gathered them together and declared that as long as they worked hard, he would never treat them badly. The scene of giving out silver rewards just now was the first, and no one afterward doubted the authenticity of his words.
On the second day, the first eight people were divided into two groups, and the twenty-five blacksmiths who came behind were divided into six groups. On the first day, because they had to bring in new people, the output was only five.
Cross on the second day, cross on the third day...the more skilled you are, the faster the output will be.
Fans are a best-seller, and countless businessmen have set their sights on Ling Yun, wanting to cooperate with him.
Ling Yun did not investigate why the fan matter was leaked to the merchants, because many ministers had business secretly, so the news naturally spread.
Ling Yun naturally disagreed with the cooperation, so many people used coercion and inducement when the negotiation failed, and all they got was a shake of his head in rejection.
However, no matter how much Ling Yun refused, these businessmen would not give up until they achieved their goals. They tried every means to punish him, brought people to intimidate him, and caused countless troubles to him.
Ling Yun was weak and knew that he could not handle this matter by himself, so he had to report the matter to Emperor Qianxi truthfully, who became furious.
So there was a scene where Xiao Lizi and several eunuchs were sitting at the door of the production base. Xiao Lizi was there for three days in a row. From then on, no matter whether they were ruffians, aristocratic families or businessmen, they no longer dared to come to harass and intimidate.
Because there is a place where Xiao Lizi appears, the people behind these troubles will most likely know whose property it is. With a little research, they can know the relationship.
As long as they knew that this was Emperor Qianxi's business, no one would dare to compete with Emperor Qianxi for food.
