"Uncle Xu, I am now the shopkeeper next to Mr. Zhao. If you want to discuss business, you should talk to me."
Tian Rou took the initiative to help Zhao Ping stay out of trouble.
"Talk to you? Can you make the decision?"
Xu Tianhua asked with a frown.
"Shopkeeper Tian can make the final decision on small matters."
Zhao Ping helped her stand up, "Shopkeeper Tian can negotiate with me on general issues and deal with them together."
Anyway, he was not familiar with Xu Tianhua.
It's better to leave it to Tian Rou, watch by yourself, and learn more about this Beijing official from their conversation.
Although Xu Tianhua was unhappy, he could only accept it now.
Asked Tian Rou, "Xiaorou, what is the new product developed by Mr. Zhao?"
"Soap."
"For what purpose?"
"Hands, face, and bath."
"Isn't that the same as bath beans?"
Xu Tianhua was a little uninterested.
"no the same."
Tian Rou corrected: "Wash your face with soap to whiten your skin."
At the same time, he pointed at his face and said, "Uncle Xu Shi, look at my face. Is it a lot whiter?"
Xu Tianhua looked at Tian Rou carefully.
I found that her face had indeed become whiter and tenderer.
But this girl has been pampered since she was little, and she has always had fine skin and tender flesh without being exposed to the wind or the sun.
Anyway, Xu Tianhua couldn't feel any obvious changes, so naturally he didn't like the soap.
Seeing that Xu Tianhua was not in high spirits, Tian Rou took out the soap she had used.
He asked Xu Tianhua, "Uncle Xu Shi, do you dare to take a gamble with me?"
"What bet?"
"If you don't turn white after washing your face with soap, I can make the decision and give you a share of the Tian family's acacia wine."
Tian Rou said: "If you turn white, you can help me sell soap in the capital for free."
"how?"
"dare?"
"It's a bet."
Although Xu Tianhua is not good at gambling.
But the bet is too tempting.
If he wins, he will have an endless supply of acacia wine, and he will get the wine at the purchase price.
From fifty jars of acacia wine, he earned one hundred thousand taels of silver.
Nowadays, there is no limit to the amount of wine you can buy at a certain price, and the money you earn can probably pile up like a mountain.
Not only could he make money, but so could the emperor.
No matter how sweet the words are, it is more pleasing to the emperor than filling the emperor's internal funds.
In the Dawei Dynasty, as long as he clings to the emperor's thigh, Xu Tianhua will always be invincible.
As for losing the bet.
Isn't it just to open a shop in Beijing to sell soap?
He still has many idle shops in the capital, and he can sell soap at any one of them.
As for whether it can be sold or not, it's none of Xu Tianhua's business.
This deal is definitely a huge profit.
If you don't gamble, you are a fool.
Seeing this, Zhao Ping gave Tian Rou a thumbs up in his heart.
He had just become the shopkeeper, and he hired a Beijing official as free labor.
The tricks used to deceive people are very smooth.
Zhao Ping was even more satisfied with her.
Xiaocui brought the basin, and Xu Tianhua washed his hands and face with soap.
As he washed, he found that the originally clear water had turned turbid.
Then it was as if it was stained with ink, and it was extremely dark.
"What, what's going on?"
Xu Tianhua was shocked and asked, pointing to the pitch-black basin.
Tian Rou did not answer him, but handed him a bronze mirror.
When Xu Tianhua saw the fair face in the bronze mirror, he didn't react for a moment.
He touched his face and looked at his clean hands.
He suddenly exclaimed, "It's a divine thing! This soap is a divine thing!"
"Xiaorou, you must leave the soap to me, and I promise to sell it to you at a sky-high price."
"How much silver do you plan to sell it for?"
Tian Rou asked.
"One thousand taels."
Xu Tianhua stretched out a finger.
hiss!
Zhao Ping gasped.
The first version of soap was completely recycled, and the cost was negligible.
Xu Tianhua actually wanted to sell it for one thousand taels of silver. It was so outrageous.
But I like it.
On the contrary, Tian Rou nodded and asked, "How do you plan to sell it?"
She was not shocked by the price, it was obviously as dark as Xu Tianhua.
Zhao Ping did not stop them, but listened to their bragging with great interest.
Who would be such a fool to spend a thousand taels of silver to buy this kind of garbage? Zhao Ping didn't believe it anyway.
"It's very simple. Let everyone realize the benefits of soap, and they will naturally buy it."
"How do we get everyone to realize it?"
"This is even simpler. I ask His Majesty the Emperor to wash them once with soap. Then he will dislike the ministers who went to court for being dirty and ask them to wash them too."
Xu Tianhua said excitedly: "How to wash it?"
"At this time, I said that our shop sells soap, which can turn white after washing."
"It's about men."
"As for the women's piece, it's even simpler. I'll give it to the concubines in the palace and let them use it for free."
"When the family members and daughters of the ministers outside see it, they will definitely be curious and ask. If the concubine says that she bought it in our shop, they will rush to buy it."
"There is no need to worry about selling the soap."
"What I'm worried about is that Penglai Immortal Lord can produce so much soap?"
"After all, this soap is used very quickly. Once you get used to it, if you use it to wash your face, hands, hair, and clothes every day, a family will have to use several pieces a month."
"Just thirty bars of soap for now."
Tian Rou also frowned, turned to look at Zhao Ping and said, "Mr. Zhao, is the production process of our soap complicated? How long will it take to supply continuously?"
"fine."
Zhao Ping said: "It's just that the technology is not mature right now, and we haven't set up a factory yet."
"I made everything myself. It's relatively slow and only costs more than 30 yuan. If I set up a factory, I can get as much as I want."
"Only thirty yuan?"
Xu Tianhua was a little disappointed.
Soap and acacia wine are bought by different people.
Acacia wine is mainly purchased by men, and most of the men in the Dawei Dynasty liked wine.
They also control the financial power of the family, so they are very willing to spend money on themselves.
What's more, acacia wine can be stored in cellars.
It can even be regarded as a family heirloom, and you can earn money by buying it.
The soap is mainly targeted at women.
As for men, even if the emperor came forward to call for everyone to buy soap, it would be difficult for those important ministers to be willing to spend thousands of taels of silver to buy a thing that can only make people whiter.
Smelly men, stinky men.
If you keep it white and tender all day long, wouldn’t it make you a sweetheart?
Only if they really like a certain woman, or if a certain woman's family is powerful, men can't afford to offend her.
Then I would buy them a piece as a token of appreciation.
Therefore, the price must not be as high as that of acacia wine. Two thousand taels is the limit.
Even if I pay a little more, it will be one thousand five hundred taels.
If the emperor rewards him a little more, it might be twenty thousand taels of silver.
Xu Tianhua was a little dissatisfied.
After rolling his eyes, he smiled and said to Tian Ju: "Niece Xiaorou, do you still have acacia wine at home?"
"If I can bring some acacia wine back, it won't be worth my trip to the capital."
"I don't know this either."
Tian Rou shook her head, "I need to ask my father."
"They don't have it at home."
Zhao Ping took over and said: "But I still have some there."
"Then what are you waiting for?"
Xu Tianhua urged: "Send someone to deliver it quickly. I will get up and return to Beijing immediately with the acacia wine and soap."
"Jiu Guan Xu, can I ask something?"
Zhao Ping did not agree immediately.
"whats the matter?"
"How much does acacia wine cost in the capital?"
"What do you want to do?"
Xu Tianhua looked at Zhao Ping warily.
Zhao Ping smiled bitterly.
This thing involves people making a living.
There is an old saying that destroying someone's wealth is like killing one's parents.
Zhao Ping hurriedly explained: "Xu Jiuguan, don't get me wrong, I'm just curious and want to inquire."
"Don't worry, no matter what price you sell the acacia wine in the capital, I will still provide you with the goods, and the price will not increase."
Xu Tianhua struggled for a long time before he made up his mind and said: "You are the Immortal Lord of Penglai, I believe in you."
"Acacia wine has two prices in the capital, one is ten thousand taels of silver per jar..."
"How many?"
Although Zhao Ping was fully prepared mentally, he was also shocked at this time.
Even Maotai in the previous life would not dare to sell it like this.
It’s so dark!
"Ten thousand taels are only sold when the situation is not open."
Xu Tianhua continued: "And we only sold ten altars."
Shitan is okay, it seems that not everyone in the capital is taken advantage of.
Zhao Ping felt a little better now.
However, Xu Tianhua's voice came next.
"After the situation unfolded later, the remaining forty altars all had fifteen thousand taels of silver each, and they were robbed in an instant."
"There are still many complaints from people who didn't get it."
"It's a good thing that I ran fast, otherwise the door of my house would have been squeezed in by those people."
Poof!
Zhao Ping staggered and almost fell down.
Darling, are everyone in the capital crazy?
A jar of fifteen thousand taels of silver was sold out in an instant. Are they all so rich?
I remember that when the original owner owed Wang Shiren fifty taels of silver, he had to mortgage his wife and children, and he would never be able to pay it back in his lifetime.
There is really no comparison between people.
The gap between rich and poor is like an unbridgeable gap, and this has been true since ancient times.
At this moment, he felt a little regretful, so he shouldn't have said so much.
Now that it's better, people can only covet it if they sell his two thousand taels of silver a jar of acacia wine for fifteen thousand taels of silver a jar.
The key is which pot Xu Tianhua doesn't open and lift.
"Penglai Immortal Lord, you are an Immortal Lord, you don't care about that little money, right?"
Zhao Ping's face turned green.
But he could only grit his teeth and smile bitterly, "Don't worry, Mr. Xu, since I promised to give you the original price, I won't increase the price any more."
"As for acacia wine, I still have it there."
"But I can't give it to you directly. I still have to go through the hands of the Tian family."
"Um?"
Xu Tianhua was stunned for a moment, then figured it out.
He bowed down to Zhao Ping.
"Immortal Lord Penglai is really righteous, I admire you."
"Guan Xu, there is no need to be so polite."
Zhao Ping held him up and said, "I am a businessman, and a businessman cannot stand without trust."
“If I want to make my business bigger and stronger, I have to be trustworthy.”
“Words you have said are like water thrown out and cannot be taken back.”
"I promised Tian Zhen before that the acacia wine is only for sale at their home, so I can't give it to you directly."
It's not that Zhao Ping is leaving his money without making any money, he has other plans.
Xu Tianhua can sell acacia wine for fifteen thousand taels of silver per jar, making him a typical price-raiser.
Establish an extremely trustworthy image for him now so that you can use him in the future.
After all, he still has many little inventions.
It's simply not a good deal to exchange a piece of acacia wine for long-term benefits.
"That's very good."
Xu Tianhua nodded.
As long as he could get the acacia wine, it didn't matter where he got it from.
"Penglai Immortal Lord, when will you go home to get some wine?"
"This is not urgent."
Zhao Ping said with a smile: "Guan Xu lives in the capital. I want to ask you about someone first."
"who?"
"Liu Mengru."
