He Lin stood in the courtyard and asked the girls:
"Do you have anyone you can trust?"
The girls were very confused and looked at each other, not understanding what He Lin was suddenly saying.
Xi Zhihui is smarter, her eyes light up slightly:
"What do you mean, sir, find some trustworthy people to make briquettes?"
He Lin cut Xi Zhihui's tall and smooth nose and said with a smile:
"Madam is still smart."
After a bit of banter, He Lin said seriously:
"If you have anyone you can trust, call your family and ask them to help us make briquettes. Of course, the work will be very generous, one hundred pence a day."
"One hundred cents a day?" The girls covered their mouths and their eyes widened.
Some special types of work in the Great Xia Empire, such as carpentry and construction, only cost more than one tael of silver per month, which is more than a thousand copper coins.
And He Lin’s salary is only one hundred cash per day, so isn’t it three thousand cash per month?
With such a salary, I don’t know how many people wanted to help He Lin work.
In the feudal era, the most important thing was that the rich water should not flow to outsiders' fields.
So all the women in He Lin said one after another:
"I have a younger brother in my family who is very smart and can do this job."
"There are also trustworthy people in my family."
"...."
After statistics, it was found that only Pi Xiaofeng was weak and there was no one at home.
She grew up alone.
Seeing this, He Lin waved and said, "Then Xiaofeng will go to the market with me, and everyone else should go home and find someone else."
After finishing the work, He Lin once again dragged more than a thousand briquettes to the market town in the town.
As soon as he entered the market town, someone recognized He Lin:
"He Lin, you're here. I thought you weren't coming today."
The man was wearing luxurious clothes and looked like he was a steward from a certain family.
He Lin said calmly: "If you want to make money, I will definitely come!"
The man introduced himself: "My name is Xie Liu, you can call me Lao Liu. I am the housekeeper of the Zhang family in Yongkang County."
He Lin's eyes flickered slightly. According to his memory, the Zhang family was a relatively large business family in Yongkang County.
Their family specializes in cloth business and has more than a dozen stalls in Yongkang County.
He Lin pretended to be surprised and said: "What advice can Lao Liu give?"
"Coaching?" Lao Liu waved his hands repeatedly, as easy-going as a businessman, "I don't want to take it as advice, but I want to buy more briquettes from you."
He Lin said with a smile: "Then I welcome it. How much do you want to sell?"
Lao Liu looked at the heavy carriage, narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "How much do you have today?"
"One thousand dollars."
Lao Liu instantly pressed his fingers and calculated silently.
One thousand yuan, almost twenty coins apiece, a total of twenty copper coins.
That is twenty taels of silver, which many ordinary people cannot earn in their lifetime.
Xie Liu looked at the carriage beside He Lin, his throat rolled slightly, his mouth felt dry, and a little greed flashed in his eyes.
But soon, Xie Liu woke up and pretended to be familiar and said:
"I dare to call you Brother He, but you don't know that I brought back more than a dozen pieces of briquettes yesterday. I like it very much. There is no smell of smoke and it burns brightly. I like it very much and want more. .”
"Look..." Xie Liu's face showed an ambiguous expression like a businessman, "I want a large quantity, see if you can get it cheaper."
He Lin finally understood what Xie Liu meant, and he thought for a moment:
"I think I'll sell it to you for five hundred yuan out of brother Xie's face. See what price you can offer?"
Xie Liu suddenly thought, five hundred yuan is enough for them to use for a while.
So he tentatively said: "Five hundred yuan, which is ten taels of silver, but I know that Brother He's discount is relatively strong. Do you think eight taels of silver is okay?"
Xie Liu is truly a businessman, very greedy.
He Lin shook his head slightly: "Nine taels and five cents, this price is already very fair."
Xie Liu was still insisting: "Eight taels and five cents, Brother He, think about it, the Zhang family wants a large quantity, where can you find such a good merchant?"
He Lin shook his head and said slyly: "Nine taels and three dollars, it's a bit rude of you to bargain."
Xie Liu also shook his head and said dissatisfied: "Nine taels and one dollar, if Brother He makes a little less, just make friends."
"make a deal!"
To Xie Liu's surprise, He Lin grabbed Xie Liu's hand with a smile on his face.
For a moment, He Lin was stunned. He didn't expect that He Lin could close the deal so quickly.
Xie Liu could only smile dryly and said: "Thank you so much, Brother He."
He Lin delivered 500 pieces of coal to Xie Liu and continued to sell.
Briquettes, as a rare novelty in market towns, have received the greatest attention.
The remaining five hundred pieces of coal were also sold quickly.
He Lin threw the heavy money bag to Pi Xiaofeng, stretched and said:
"Xiao Feng, is there anything you want to buy? Just buy it and I'll pay for it."
Pi Xiaofeng is very good-looking, but a little thin, which makes me feel pity for him.
Pi Xiaofeng clutched the money bag tightly, fearing that it would disappear:
"Ms. sir, I'm very satisfied if I can follow you."
He Lin wiped Pi Xiaofeng's head and said softly:
"Xiao Feng, you and I are a family. This money is mine and yours, and you have the right to control it. You can buy whatever you want."
Pi Xiaofeng's eyes were bright as he looked at He Lin and nodded heavily:
"Then I want to buy some pastries and eat them back."
"Can."
The two of them walked through the market town, their bellies bulging with food.
Pi Xiaofeng also became lively and asked proactively:
"Ms. sir, that Xie Liu who bought coal before, why don't you sell the coal to him together?"
He Lin explained patiently:
"There is a bit of knowledge here. First, if we buy coal from Xie Liu, we will make much less money. Xie Liu will forcefully lower the price."
"Second, Xie Liu bought all the coal. The briquettes were promoted in the Zhang family circle, which could let everyone in the town know that there was a good fuel called briquettes. The advertising of briquettes was not done well. "
Pi Xiaofeng had a hard time listening, especially the words fuel, advertising, and...
But such cryptic words made Pi Xiaofeng look at He Lin with admiration.
She is like a star-chasing schoolgirl in her previous life, with little yellow stars in her eyes:
"My husband, you are so knowledgeable. I want to learn more from you."
He Lin raised the corners of his mouth and hugged Pi Xiaofeng into his arms:
"I think you are not suitable for business. It will be useless even if you study."
"Just stay by my side with peace of mind and be a rich woman. Let me take care of the making of money."
Pi Xiaofeng smiled even more happily, and the candied haws in his hand became a little sweeter:
"Ms. sir, you are so kind."
"We will get better and better in the future." He Lin said seriously with eyes full of hope.
