"Mr. Lin, I wonder how you plan to sign a contract with us?"
When the three of them arrived at Wei Jin's home, Wei Qing couldn't help but ask.
Wei Jin quickly gave his sister a wink, telling her not to worry, and then he laughed and said: "Brother Lin, this is my sister-in-law."
Hearing this, the little girl couldn't help but take a few more glances.
That's it?
Far worse than my sister!
Lin Bai was convinced that Wei Jin was not a good pimp.
"What do you think Miss Wei should do?"
Wei Qing replied: "I don't know, little girl, but if you sign the contract at the original price like this, it will definitely not work!"
The little girl immediately became upset when she heard this, "Hey! Why are you like this? Are you going to raise the price?"
"That's not what I mean, little lady."
Wei Qing said quickly, "If the Su family signs a contract with us at the original price, but the three major cloth shops sign contracts with other silkworm farmers at a price that is 30% lower, what advantage does the Su family have? How can such a business last long?"
"Although the little girl is a woman, she also knows that doing business is not charity, and silkworm farmers are not beggars. We make money with our hands and only take what we should take. We are not begging."
A flash of surprise flashed across Lin Bai's eyes.
Are all ancient women so individual? Do you actually have such knowledge?
In fact, the reason why he delayed was because of this consideration.
With the support of Sihai Bank, the price is 30% higher than the price. With this, and the low cost of textile machine stalls, Sujia Cloth Store is still competitive even if the price is 30% higher.
But as Wei Qing said, doing business is not charity.
Not only would this not bring any favors, but over time it would make the silkworm farmers feel that it was right. The Su family was not taken advantage of, and it was impossible for them to offer such a steady stream of bribes. Even if Su Mingyue had no objections, Lin Bai would not agree.
Just kidding, all the Su family's money belongs to him from now on.
How could it be so bad?
Su Lingyue didn't expect that the other party would say such words, and she felt a little embarrassed for a moment.
"Miss Wei is really impressive. No wonder your brother is full of praises."
Lin Bai admired.
Wei Jin looked arrogant, as if to say: It is necessary.
"Actually, this is where Lin is concerned."
Lin Bai continued, "Moreover, this cannot fundamentally solve the problem. Lin does have an idea. If it works, silkworm farmers will no longer have to worry about it in the future, and it will be solved once and for all."
"Appreciate further details!"
Wei Qing asked humbly.
"Establish an industry association..."
Lin Bai put forward his own ideas, which was also what he was thinking about along the way. In this era, no one cares about the interests of the weak. Silkworm farmers are being exploited and have no way to appeal. If an industry association can be established, unified deployment, and mutual support can be achieved, then the maximum can be achieved. Interests.
Lin Bai explained in detail the responsibilities and functions of industry associations.
Wei Qing's eyes brightened.
The same goes for Zhuiyue. She has been following Su Mingyue, and she has been influenced by her ears and eyes, and she has a certain understanding. Once the industry association mentioned by her uncle is established, the silkworm farmers will no longer have to be bullied by anyone and can truly make their own decisions.
Although Su Lingyue didn't understand much, she liked to see her brother-in-law talk nonsense in a serious manner.
Wei Jinze said worriedly: "Brother Lin, your idea is really amazing. You are indeed a great talent, but you want to bypass the government and all the layers of officials. I'm afraid..."
"You are right. Lin wants to bypass the government and allow silkworm farmers to directly connect with cloth merchants. Only in this way can silkworm farmers gain maximum benefits."
"Of course, cloth shops can also make profits. Without those people in the middle, the purchase price of cloth shops does not need to fall, but can even rise."
"I know it's difficult to bypass the government, but if you don't try, how will you know if it works?"
Wei Jin was very moved.
Not to mention Wei Qing, her eyes seemed to glow when she looked at Lin Bai.
"That's true, but the officials won't agree."
Wei Jin shook his head, "Brother Lin and Mr. Zhao are facing each other today, and the mayor has not interfered. That's because no matter what price you offer, their share will always be there and will not be affected. But if you do this, then they..."
"Brother Lin, if you really want to accomplish this, listen to my advice and take the test of merit. You can only do it if you become an official."
"Brother, everything depends on man-made efforts!"
Wei Qing said.
"Little sister, what do you know? We are silkworm farmers. If we fail, we will fail. At worst, we will continue to raise silkworms. But Brother Lin is different. He is a great talent. With his talent, he is sure to win the imperial examination. There is a high probability that he will become an official in the future. , whether he succeeds or fails in this matter, he will offend a group of officials and his future is likely to be ruined."
Although Wei Qing is knowledgeable, it is obvious that Wei Jin does not understand the things involved.
Hearing this, his face instantly turned pale.
Su Lingyue also looked worried, "Brother-in-law, is it so serious?"
Zhuiyue shook his head, "Uncle!"
Be an official?
What kind of official?
Lin Bai was confused. With his level, how could he be so sure in the imperial examination?
I can just copy a few poems.
Imperial examination? Haha!
It’s not that Lin Bai never thought about becoming an official, but he might as well forget about passing the imperial examination! How is it possible that I can't even read the Four Books and Five Classics?
But others don’t think so!
In the eyes of everyone, he is a great talent, and this action is to use his own future to fight for the interests of silkworm farmers. Such a noble sentiment.
Lin Bai felt a little embarrassed when everyone saw him.
But the atmosphere has already reached this point, what can we do?
Lin Bai could only look at Zhuiyue and asked, "Does the eldest lady dislike me for not being an official?"
Zhuiyue shook her head desperately, "No, definitely not. The eldest lady will not care whether my uncle can be an official. My uncle is the best uncle whether he is an official or not."
"Then you won't dislike your brother-in-law, right?"
Lin Bai looked at the little girl again and asked.
The little girl quickly said: "Of course not!"
After thinking for a while, she added, "If mother dislikes it, as I said before, I will kidnap my sister and run away with you."
puff!
I'll bring myself with me now!
Lin Bai smiled and said: "Then let's get married. My brother-in-law doesn't have much ambition. As long as the family is safe, that's enough."
"Brother Lin..."
Wei Jin obviously wanted to say something else.
Lin Bai quickly stopped him, and even he was moved.
I couldn't pass the exam at all, so I just took advantage of this opportunity to silence my old mother-in-law in the future.
Simply perfect!
Lin Bai gave himself a thumbs up, and then said solemnly: "Some things have to be done by people. One of us is a cloth merchant and the other is a silkworm farmer. If we don't do it, who else will do it?"
"If it succeeds, countless silkworm farmers will benefit. If it fails, it will just offend some people. Lin will still eat and drink. It is worth a try."
"But is this really possible?"
Wei Jin's face was full of doubts. He was naturally very moved, but he couldn't see any hope.
"Opportunities are all created. If this thing wants to succeed, it must be big and make it known to everyone, including the people and officials of Jiangzhou."
"Only in this way can there be a glimmer of hope."
"By the way, we can also see whether the officials in Jiangzhou have any common people in their hearts."
