Chapter 78 Born businessman, dare to do business with beheading!
"Are you stupid? Fifty people have already mentioned it, and then changed it to thirty!"
"How can I be the first to be timid when talking about business?!"
After Xiao Luomu left, Zhao Cheng and Xu An criticized Li Guanyu.
Li Guanyu also knew that he was wrong. He lowered his head and said softly: "I was thinking... we don't have fifty members yet. Is it too much to ask for fifty people all at once?"
"You don't care if he goes too far!"
Zhao Cheng couldn't bear it anymore, patted Li Guanyu's head and said angrily: "Look how readily Xiao Luomu agreed? With such a confident look, is fifty a thing to him?!"
"Then I'll go find him again!" Li Guanyu turned around and left.
"We haven't even started cooperating yet, but we are changing the order day and night, making people laugh!" Zhao Cheng grabbed Li Guanyu's clothes and said, "Don't go, try to lend more and make up for it!"
"Okay, I'll work hard!" Li Guanyu nodded fiercely.
Xu An, who was watching from the side, smiled, thinking that Li Guanyu looked more and more like Zhao Cheng's younger brother.
He is different.
The young prime minister and I will always be brothers of the same generation!
I am still the boss of this club, how dare he order me to do things?
Just as he was thinking about it, Zhao Cheng suddenly patted Xu An's arm: "It has been open for so long, and the two of you together have not attracted more members than I have! Where are the two members you promised? Go and tie them up!"
"Yes, yes, I'll tie him up right away!" Xu An turned around and left.
…
Half a month later.
Zhao Cheng handed Dong Hua the letters he wanted to send to his parents respectively, and infinite doubts arose in his heart.
It is understandable that my mother took her second brother to a Taoist temple for medical treatment and had to judge the situation of returning home based on his condition.
But what happened to the old man? Changsui is thousands of miles away from Yanchuan. Even if we walk, it won't take nearly two months, right?
Did he crawl back with two hundred soldiers?!
There was no reply to the letter I sent last time.
What's going on?
Sacrificed?
At this time, Zhao Wu came over and said, "Master, Xiao Luomu is here."
Although he felt Xiao Luomu's confidence, Zhao Cheng was still shocked to see that he really came back in half a month.
This Xiao family's business route... is really a channel paved with gold and silver!
After settling the payment and dividing the accounts, Xiao Luomu placed another order for 200,000 pieces of soap. Zhao Cheng asked tentatively: "The sales are so good, don't you think about getting more? Boss Wu is now expanding the factory, and the quantity
You can definitely keep up."
"Our family has discussed this. Two hundred thousand can reasonably supply the thirteen cities of Jingdong. We can get the goods once every half month. This cycle is quite suitable, so we won't add more."
Xiao Luomu took out a small bottle from his pocket and said: "It's this toilet water. I took it to Qingdong City and Hannan City and tried the water. The response was even more enthusiastic than soap! I want to get more of this this time!"
"No problem!" Zhao Cheng patted Xiao Luomu's shoulder and said with a smile: "I told Boss Wu that as long as there are new good things, I will give them to you first!"
"The little prime minister is loyal!"
"Brother Xiao, if you have a good business, you have to think about me, brother!"
Hearing this, Xiao Luomu's expression became solemn, and he approached Zhao Cheng and said: "There is really a business, we have to see if Boss Wu is interested, or... it is best for the young prime minister to participate alone."
"Mysterious, what's going on?"
"My people arrived at the iron mine in Kanyu, Lingshan."
"iron ore!"
Zhao Cheng was stunned for a moment, then quickly lowered his voice and said, "Tell me the specific situation!"
Zhao Cheng was surprised.
Iron ore can be hugely profitable. Although the imperial court prohibits private mining, once iron ore is discovered, it can be reported to the imperial court for joint mining. The profit is much greater than that of ordinary business.
With such a good business, Xiao Luomu found Zhao Cheng, and Zhao Cheng also understood the reason.
Although it is possible to jointly mine with the imperial court, not everyone has this qualification.
If you are a scholar, farmer, or businessman, and you don’t have deep official connections, the court will give you a profit as a businessman?
Don’t even think about it!
Xiao Luomu shook his head and said: "There is no specific situation... The people in Kanyu have been missing for two months. I only found out about it when I received the flying pigeon message before they disappeared. I guess they... may have encountered something unexpected.
"
Zhao Cheng thought for a while and said: "The iron ore marked by the imperial court is mined openly, so there is no need to kill people and silence them. Could it be that... someone is secretly mining it privately?"
"It's possible!" Xiao Luomu said seriously: "But it doesn't rule out that we encountered bandits or wild beasts. The young prime minister may not know that place in Lingshan. We in Qingdong City and Hannan City all know that it is a
A no-man’s land where you don’t care.”
"This is our land, why don't we care about it?"
"Lingshan faces the sea on one side, and the ridge is thousands of miles deep. The terrain is steep and wild animals are rampant. Not only are there bandits, but also pirates often appear. However, the location is half between Qingdong and Hannan. Neither side wants to care about it, and the imperial court is far away.
If you stay away, as time goes by, you will become inattentive."
Xiao Luomu took a look at Zhao Cheng's expression, and then said: "But the more we ignore it, the more opportunities we will have. If someone is mining iron ore privately, we will report it to the court after we find out the situation, and wait until the court sends troops to eliminate it...
...As the right prime minister, and with the report of the junior prime minister, and the help of my Xiao family, we are close to the mausoleum, and we can provide money and effort, and the court can just collect and share the accounts. We want to get the joint mining rights.
Disaster!"
"If...my people just encountered other accidents and no one has touched the iron mine, then we might as well just do it secretly..."
Zhao Cheng was happy, thinking that Xiao Luomu was a born businessman!
How brave!
He even dares to do the business of beheading!
Worth paying!
However... my sensitivity to temples is still a bit lacking.
Zhao Cheng said: "If we want to do this, we can only choose the second way. Let's do it secretly ourselves!"
Xiao Luomu was puzzled: "Why?"
"Do you think that because my father is a right-wing prime minister and has a high position of power, he can get joint mining rights?"
Zhao Cheng shook his head and said in a positive tone: "No!"
"Just because my father is the Right Prime Minister, I can't get it!"
"And it will get you into trouble!"
"A prime minister who is far away from the capital actually came up with the idea of an iron mine. What does he want to do? Is it really just to earn some money for retirement?"
"Iron is a weapon of war. Do you hand over all of it every time you deliver it, or do you keep some secretly?"
"Why keep it private?"
"Want to plot a rebellion?"
The more Xiao Luomu listened, the more frightened he became, and his expression changed.
Zhao Cheng shook his head and sighed: "It's hard to explain... As long as it has anything to do with something as sensitive as iron ore, people who want to get you can always find a reason!"
"Instead of doing this, it's better to do it secretly yourself!"
Xiao Luomu was shocked: "You said it was so serious, how dare you do it?"
"Make money! Why don't you do it? If you have money, don't make money, you bastard!"
Zhao Cheng Nununu fisted: "Didn't you already say that this is a no-no-no-nonsense zone? If someone is doing it secretly, I will lead the government soldiers to destroy them! If no one is doing it, you will pick some trustworthy people, and I will
Then arrange for people to keep an eye on it and make it a hidden spot so that the court cannot find it!"
Xiao Luomu gave a thumbs up and praised: "The young prime minister is brave and careful, he is really a hero!"
"It's settled, I'll take some time to go to Lingshan with you."
"Very good! I also want to take you around Qingdong City, let you see our Xiao family's industry, and maybe there are places for cooperation."
night.
Zhao Cheng took Xu An and Li Guanyu to help Xiao Luomu.
After drinking half the wine, Xiao Luomu took them to the club.
Xu An smiled and said: "Master Xiao is too impatient!"
Xiao Luomu said: "You called me the wrong Lord Marquis, you should call me Young Lord Shang from now on!"
"oh?"
Xiao Luomu stopped at the door of Yasu Manor, clapped his hands and said, "It's not that I'm anxious, it's that they have been waiting for a long time!"
There was a sound in the darkness outside the manor, and when everyone looked carefully, they could vaguely see the outlines of carriages.
Then one by one, the young men got out of the car and walked toward the manor with smiles on their faces.
Xiao Luomu smiled and said: "Master Xiaolang asked me to bring thirty people. There were too few people. I thought it was troublesome, so I brought you a hundred people from Qingdong City and Hannan City at once."
"You think, can I, a young businessman, do it?"
hiss!!
Zhao Cheng and the other three took a deep breath.
