"These uncles and uncles are all our own people. Isn't it the same for us to sell them as for you?" Wei Shuyu said with a smile.
How could it be the same?
You earn four guan a day selling it, we sell it hundreds of times more!
"The main thing is that you are still young, so you can put your studies first!" the official said in a persuasive manner.
"We understand this, so isn't this the time to recruit people?"
With that said, Wei Shuyu waved to Luo Dan: "Come here, I've met you all."
Luo Dan quickly knelt down and said, "Little Luo Dan, I have met all of you adults."
What kind of eggs or dog eggs...
Is this what we care about?
Several officials looked impatient, waved their hands and ignored him.
"Shuyu, let me tell you the truth, the money you earn from this ice cube is too little in a day. Leave it to us and you can earn a lot more in a day." The official approached Wei Shuyu and said softly.
"But I think I earn a lot." Wei Shuyu blinked, deliberately showing an innocent face.
"Siguan is a lot for ordinary people, but for us, it's only a day's expense, do you understand?" The official said secretly.
"Who said I just sold four pieces?"
"Isn't it Si Guan?"
The official pointed at the four copper coins that Cui Shenji was dragging.
"That's what some of them were selling for fun, but I actually sold this amount."
Wei Shuyu stretched out five fingers.
"Fifty guan is still too little."
"Take a bold guess."
"Five hundred strings? This...is barely enough."
"Be bolder."
"Five thousand strings?"
Several people's eyes widened, they were really shocked.
"Forget it, stop pretending." Wei Shuyu shook his head: "Guaranteed 50,000 yuan!"
hiss……
As soon as these words came out, everyone gasped.
Cui Shenji was even more shocked and shouted: "What? Fifty thousand guan?"
Snapped.
Wei Shuyu raised his hand and was confused.
"Why are you bluffing? Have you never seen the money?"
Several officials looked at Wei Shuyu with strange expressions.
"Uncles, please don't mind. I usually don't knock on people's heads unless I can't help it." Wei Shuyu smiled coquettishly.
Do we care if you knock people on the head?
What we care about is how you earned 50,000 yuan!
"You're not lying to us, are you?" Several people looked at Wei Shuyu suspiciously.
"No, those restaurant shopkeepers are still there, you can ask them." Wei Shuyu pointed to several shopkeepers in the distance.
Several people frowned.
Officials often gather for dinner, so they are no strangers to these shopkeepers.
After just waving, the shopkeepers ran over in a hurry.
"You want to buy ice?"
Facing the shopkeeper, their attitude became much more arrogant.
The status of both parties is not on the same level.
"Reply to Mr. Zheng, yes." The shopkeeper of Yanque Tower bowed and responded.
"How much do you plan to buy?"
"In the beginning, I didn't dare to buy more. I ordered 100 kilograms of ice cubes every day. If the sales are good, I will buy more."
"How much does 100 pounds cost?"
"Our purchase price is 100 jins/70 guans to prevent them from melting when sold. So if we buy 100 jins, Mr. Wei will give us an extra 20 jins, for a total of 120 jins."
Several officials looked at each other and then nodded.
"Have you done all the shopping?"
"Yes."
"Back off."
Lord Zheng waved his hand.
"There are only a few people in total, so they only add up to a thousand guns, right?"
Several officials looked at Wei Shuyu with smiles.
"It's about 1,000 visits a day, but they are stable customers that we need for a long time."
"There are still more than two months until summer is over. There is absolutely no problem in selling it for 50,000 yuan, right?"
Wei Shuyu explained with a smile.
Several people were stunned, can this business be done like this?
But it makes sense if you think about it carefully.
"And there are more than just these restaurants in Chang'an. If we continue to develop, won't the money come with it?"
"Whatever restaurants, inns, brothels, academies... wherever there are more people, we will sell to them."
"I made an estimate. If I sell it for the whole summer, I should be able to earn 300,000 yuan in Chang'an alone."
Three hundred thousand dollars?
Several people were completely dumbfounded.
They have worked hard all their lives and committed corruption with all their heart, and their wealth is only tens of thousands of dollars.
"The main reason is that the transportation of this ice cube is easier, otherwise I will sell it all over the Tang Dynasty, and that will be called making money!"
yes.
This is just Chang'an!
If the ice cubes were sold throughout the Tang Dynasty, it would be faster than robbing money.
"Ahem... My dear nephew, don't you have a formula for making ice? Why don't you give us your formula and we can sell it in other state capitals?" the official said with some embarrassment.
Hearing this, the other people also looked at Wei Shuyu excitedly.
Earning 300,000 yuan in one summer is cool just thinking about it.
"no."
Wei Shuyu shook his head and refused.
"Why?"
A few people were slightly unhappy.
“Selling a lot of ice requires a lot of manpower to make it.”
"The method of making ice cubes is very simple. What if the formula is leaked?"
"In Chang'an, we can still control it."
"But if we leave Chang'an, the formula is leaked and flows into the public, and the people make it themselves, how can we make money?"
Several people couldn't help but nodded, thinking that Wei Shuyu's words made sense.
But they are still unwilling!
A great opportunity to make money is in front of them, but it is not their turn.
"Uncles, we are selling ice together. Do you understand?"
As if he had read through the thoughts of several people, Wei Shuyu coughed dryly.
cooperating?
Several people's eyes suddenly lit up.
My son’s inheritance is my inheritance.
Isn’t my son’s money my money?
"Besides, my uncles are officials in the court, and selling ice is to compete with the people for profit. It will not sound good if word spreads."
Wei Shuyu gave another reason.
Several people started stroking their beards and listened with smiles on their faces.
"Also, if you want to interfere in this matter, will you take my father and his beloved father with you?"
"Take it, they may not agree because of their reputation."
"Don't bring it. They will feel uncomfortable if they lose so much money for no reason."
"It makes a difference if we come forward."
"I'm not an official. I make money based on my own skills, and my father can't scold me."
Wei Shuyu said with a smile...
In fact, this statement is already a warning.
Use the names of the two prime ministers to warn a few people not to think about eating alone.
"My good nephew had a foresighted plan, but we were reckless."
"Yes, I heard that my wise nephew defeated General Qin yesterday? He is really a versatile man in both civil and military affairs."
"Is your good nephew engaged? How about my uncle introduce me to you?"
After a few people boasted, the matter was finally settled.
When it was time to go home, the friends were all very nervous.
Because they skipped school.
But on the way home, their father not only didn't beat them, but also asked them about their welfare.
This phenomenon further strengthened their idea...
Hang out with the big brother and enjoy the good life!
The next day passed like this.
While Wei Shuyu was still instructing Qin Shandao to practice military boxing, Cui Shenji hurried in again...
"Brother, it's not good, our ice pavilion was smashed!"
