"Uh...this..."
Although Zheng Kaisi looked embarrassed, he had already made up his mind. No matter what, he would not take out the salt coupons worth tens of thousands of pounds.
Xu Papi felt depressed for a while, and looking at his cowardly look, he couldn't help but feel angry.
"Get out of here, get out of here now. From now on, you are no longer allowed to enter Xu Ji Trading Company's door!"
"I'm sorry, shopkeeper, I have no choice but to do this..."
Since Xu Bapi had already said so, Zheng Kaisi immediately covered his face and ran away as if he had been granted amnesty.
At Banri Curie on the other side of the long street, several waiters were bored with feather dusters and sweeping away the non-existent dust on the counter.
Unlike other businesses, this half-day residence opened the door silently, and even the neighbors did not know what kind of business they were doing.
"I'm talking to the shopkeeper, we've been open for half a day, how come there's no business at all? Can they do it, or should we go out and yell?"
"Stop talking nonsense and just do whatever I ask you to do!"
Li Wenming, dressed in a loose robe, now looks like a shopkeeper.
Based on his achievements last time, he was originally going to be released as a county magistrate. However, after careful selection, he accidentally walked into Liu Deng's sight. After several rounds of training, he quietly came Suiyang City.
In the blink of an eye, it has been open for four or five days, but there is not a single customer coming to the store. Even if he is not anxious, the shop assistants are already extremely anxious.
However, he has not been idle these days. He has learned all the details of several large and small paper shops in Suiyang City.
Although he seems to be a simple and honest person, he is extremely cautious in his actions. Of course, this is one of the reasons why Liu Deng specially sent him here.
After finding out everyone's details, he quietly arranged for the few people he brought to go out.
Making decisions before taking action is the key to military strategists.
"Shopkeeper, do you still have paper here? Is it true that a piece of paper costs 20 guan?"
Just when these guys were hesitating whether to have a good talk with Li Wenming, a short, fat, middle-aged man suddenly rushed in.
"You are really joking. We are open for business here, how come there is no goods? One knife and twenty guan, no matter how much goods you want, we will pay the same price! This is our model, you can take advantage of it Take a look!"
Li Wenming received his first guest with a smile. It must be said that he had a rather festive face, and when he smiled, the wrinkles on his face looked like a flower.
"I want five hundred knives, no, six hundred knives!"
This middle-aged man was Li Fugui. He just looked at the paper sample brought out by the shopkeeper and immediately took out a thick stack of salt stamps from his arms.
That way, it was as if he was afraid that the shopkeeper would regret it. Even though he was short and fat, he really used all his energy on the journey just now.
The two short legs ran like hot wheels, leaving all the merchants behind, and was the first to rush into Banriju.
"Guests don't have to worry. No matter how much you want, we can supply it. However, we have another cooperation model here. I just don't know if the customer has the strength!"
Li Wenming was not in a hurry to ask someone to prepare paper for him. After all, the paper stock in this business bank so far only amounted to more than 10,000 knives. His main mission this time was not to sell paper!
"What do you mean? Are you trying to regret it?"
Li Fugui suddenly became a little anxious. He had finally managed to sneak out of Xu Ji Trading Company. If he couldn't buy goods here, he would really be doomed.
If he goes back again, he still doesn't know how much Xu Papi will increase his price before he is willing to supply the goods!
"Guest, don't be nervous. If you insist on asking for the goods, I can ask the guys to prepare it immediately. However, there is another mode I want to talk to you about. Judging from the guest's appearance, this family's business is It shouldn’t be too small, right?”
Li Wenming looked Li Fugui up and down. In this day and age, poor people don't have enough to eat, but this guy can still grow fat. This in itself shows that his family background is good.
In addition, although Li Fugui was not very eye-catching in his clothing, the finger ring on his hand was already quite dazzling.
"If you have something to say, the shopkeeper, just say it!"
Li Fugui was really a little anxious. After all, there were quite a few merchants coming here. If you wait a little longer, with all the people rushing to buy, who knows if he still has any goods in hand.
"Since the customer has been running a paper business, of course he knows how violent this thing is. I wonder if you are interested in making paper?"
As soon as Li Wenming said these words, Li Fugui, who was standing opposite him, was stunned.
"Shopkeeper, what did you just say?"
Li Fugui swallowed hard, making paper? Are you kidding me?
In this day and age, if any businessman says that he is not interested in papermaking, that's a fucking hammer!
A knife of paper is worth 50 guan of money. This is not making paper. This is clearly making gold mines!
Even those who dig gold mines in Sichuan cannot make money as fast as this!
"I asked, sir, are you interested in the art of papermaking?"
Seeing Li Fugui's dazed look, Li Wenming felt extremely proud. This was the effect he wanted!
"Shopkeeper, you mean that you intend to transfer the skills of papermaking?"
Before Li Fugui could speak, a sturdy middle-aged man rushed in and grabbed Li Wenming's hand, his face full of disbelief.
"Cough-cough-cough-"
"Yes, I not only have a complete set of skills, but also a complete set of papermaking tools, and it comes with a month of guidance from a skilled papermaking master. I just don't know if any of you have such a big appetite!"
The appetites of those people who saw it had been whetted, Li Wenming said calmly.
"I wonder how much the shopkeeper will charge? How can we work together?"
Li Fugui suddenly woke up. Li Wenming was the first to ask himself, if he let this opportunity pass, he would regret it for the rest of his life!
"Well, I have a standard contract here, please circulate it!"
While Li Wenming was speaking, he clapped his hands and immediately a man came over with a brocade box. After opening it, he took out a dozen contracts drafted by Liu Deng and handed them to the merchants who were watching.
