Liang Chuan's word "yes" made Zheng Zuliang's heart agitate! If sugar can really be made and sold to households with tens of thousands of dollars in Bianliang, the business will be opened up. Not to mention earning thousands of dollars a day, it will be a simple matter to turn a local chicken into a phoenix and become the first household in Xinghua.
Although he also runs various businesses, communicating goods between Xinghua and the north, and exchanges goods, but they are all about selling goods from the south to the north or transporting goods from the north to the south. It is nothing more than making a profit in the middle price difference. But the road in Liangchuan is completely different. Except for a few families on Guangnan West Road and Yangzhou Prefecture who have this craft, the officials even watch eagerly as these families hand in tribute sugar every year. Apart from this one, there is no other semicolon. If you don't expect the royal tribute from the official family, you need to have a very good eye to specialize in this business. But the one hundred thousand households in Bianliang City have money in their hands, but they can't buy sugar.
"Brother Liang Chuan, do you really know how to make this candy?"
"I know a little bit about it, but I'm not very sure that I can make that kind of ice-white sugar."
"How sure are you? As far as I know, there are more than 100 acres of dry land on the bank of Nanxi River. Have you planted all the sugar cane? I also know the sugar yield rate of this sugar cane. How many acres can be grown on one acre of dry land? There is only a small amount of sugar cane. If all these sugar canes were turned into sugar, I’m afraid it would be a considerable amount!”
"You should be 70-80% sure."
Zheng Zuliang took a breath of cold air in his heart. This boy always had an indifferent attitude towards everything he did. He probably didn't know how valuable the skills he knew were worth.
"Then let me ask you one more question, do you have a store to sell the candy you made?" Zheng Zuliang's heart was beating hard.
"Your niece is going to sell it. The two of us signed a contract. Ruoying will be responsible for growing the sugar cane. After it is produced, I will be responsible for making it into sugar. Ruoying will package it all the way." Liang Chuan didn't mind looking at this person. It didn't matter to him that the business plan worth tens of millions was revealed. Anyway, in a few months, when sugar cane goes on the market, this secret will no longer be a secret.
Liang Chuan actually left this job to his niece to take care of like a child's play. The distressed expression on his face was like someone stabbing him in the thigh with a knife, and his face was twisted into a ball. He said heartbrokenly: "Oh my God, brother Liang Chuan, do you know this business or not? If you run this business properly, it will be a way to make a lot of money every day. Although my niece does things steadily, but After all, she is a prostitute and does not have much business experience. If you are willing to cooperate with me in this business, I, Zheng, promise you that within three years, even the government will want to use the sugar produced by your brother Liangchuan. If Ying girl can help you earn money, I, Zheng, will promise you ten times the profit!"
Liang Chuan heard Zheng Zuliang slap his chest loudly. When someone else said this, Liang Chuan only thought it was a joke, maybe a bit exaggerated. But when Zheng Zuliang said it from his mouth, Liang Chuan knew this Xinghua The number one businessman is certainly not joking. He has been working hard for decades, and now he has built a business empire that can be regarded as dominating Xinghua. He also has countless family businesses in other places. His business lines, business channels, and personal connections are simply inferior to that little girl Zheng Ruoying. The brilliance of the sun is not worthy of comparison with the brilliance of fireflies.
Liang Chuan responded with a smile: "I haven't even decided whether my candies can be made into horoscopes, and whether people can eat them. But if the officials eat my candies, we must kill them all." Boss, are you bringing trouble to your family?"
Liang Chuan's shocking lies made Zheng Zuliang quickly raise his hand to cover Liang Chuan's open mouth. He glanced around and saw that everyone around him was doing his own thing, and no one noticed the two of them. Personally speaking, I felt a little relieved, but I still scolded Liang Chuan angrily: "Brother Liang Chuan, I, Mr. Zheng, respect you as a person, but there are some taboos that can never be broken, and those who do not break them will never be able to turn over. , look at the Chai family, what is their status? They still have an iron ticket in their hands, but they have crossed the line that should not be crossed, and the official family cannot tolerate them. Can you compare with the Chai family? I think at least now It can’t be.”
Liang Chuan said angrily: "I am a big talker and say some stupid things. What the senior officials think about me is that I have also learned a lesson. There are some concepts that I have not changed for a while, and I will gradually adapt to them in the future."
"How about it? What did brother Liang Chuan think about it?"
"Consider? I have nothing to consider. I still say that when doing things, integrity comes first. Since I promised Miss Zheng, and it was written clearly in black and white, if you, Mr. Zheng, offer me a high price today, I will I will break my promise and cooperate with you. If one day, I meet a more prominent person than Zheng Guanren, will I also climb up and put Zheng Guanren on the shelf? Besides, Miss Zheng has tied her life events to me because of me. At the same time, I had always wondered why Zheng Guanren always looked like I had stolen their chickens when they saw me. I didn’t expect that I didn’t steal their chickens, but their treasures. No wonder they were in a hurry with me! "
Liang Chuan's words rendered Zheng Zuliang speechless. Yes, what Sage Kong taught them is that people have no faith and don't know what to do! If today he just abandons other people because of the high price he offers, then when the situation opens up in the future, there will be a lot of capable people in the colorful world. No matter how good he is, Zheng Zuliang, he can only work in this Xinghua County town. In the entire Southeast and the entire Song Dynasty, he was just a drop in the ocean, not worth mentioning.
He had always had ambitions in his heart. In his early years, he wanted to show off his great ambitions in his official career. Later he found out that God really did not reward him in this regard. Then he plunged into the business world. He was somewhat successful, but his ambition was not. It is getting bigger and bigger. The influence of the businessman and the background of his career will surely make him a great person in the future.
"I, Mr. Zheng, also benefited a lot from my conversation with Brother Zhang today. Brother Zhang is a proud man of heaven. His wealth and fame will be limitless in the future. I am outdated and old. I, Mr. Zheng, have been involved in business together for decades. , I always thought that everything has a price, there is no absolute loyalty and faith in the world, it’s just that the price hasn’t been reached yet! I was wrong." Zheng Zuliang is indeed a hero among people, he knows that Liang Chuan will not do such an eye-catching big business He could change his mind at will and give up so simply. His mind and vision were indeed extraordinary.
"Zheng Guanren, please don't be like this. I signed a good contract with Ruoying, but the contract was for the sugar cane from the more than one hundred acres of land. I didn't say that we can't cooperate with others for the sugar cane from other places..."
"Oh!" It turned out to be a little fox! Zheng Zuliang excitedly took Liang Chuan's hand and squeezed it tightly, with a pair of eyes bursting with hot light. Fortunately, he had been doing business for his whole life. He was too trustworthy, and when he heard about the contract, he also prejudged it. Yes, normal people would do this kind of thing flawlessly and without leakage, but Liang Chuan is not an ordinary person. He is the only one who takes advantage of others, and no one else takes advantage of him. That little girl Ruoying seemed to have taken a huge advantage, but when she thought about it carefully, she was just the vanguard who opened up the situation and made a wedding dress for Liang Chuan!
The implication of Liang Chuan's words was self-evident to him, Zheng Zuliang, and since Liang Chuan was willing to speak frankly to him today, it was equivalent to recognizing him as a person. Let's see if Ruoying can really grow sugar cane this year. If he succeeds, don't talk about what he has. Those paddy and dry fields, even if all the paddy fields were converted into sugar cane fields, it wouldn't be a bad idea!
Zheng Zuliang looked at it and it was almost time. No matter how much he said, there was no chapter yet. Since there was such a tacit understanding today, he was not afraid that he would not be able to win over Liang Chuan in the future! Zheng Zuliang called his servant Lao Zheng and ordered: "Old Zheng, you should have seen this distinguished guest. Today you will follow him and use my sedan to send Brother Liang back to his home. You are not allowed to come back until he arrives at the door!"
Lao Zheng remembered that this young man helped him stop the young master from going out, and even helped him. He also had a good impression of this young man in his heart, and respectfully replied: "Yes, master."
Liang Chuan stopped arguing with Zheng Zuliang about these clichés, got into the sedan chair, lifted the curtains, waved his hand to Zheng Zuliang, and left.
After sending Liang Chuan away, Zheng Zuliang sighed happily! The sugar business, this was a business he never dreamed of, and it actually fell to him today. When he was walking in his uncle's house, he had a proud expression on his face. The servants of the Zheng Mansion saw this and were happy for Mr. Zheng.
In the hall at home, several women were chatting about household matters. The age difference between Shitou and his uncle was too big, so there was nothing easy to communicate with. Lao Cai stood next to Zheng Yiqian and asked, "Sir, if Liang Chuan from He Lu really wants to rent this shop owned by Shopkeeper Xu, will you let him rent it?"
"Pan? Why not? When have I ever had trouble with money? To whom should I rent? As long as he doesn't damage my shop. In this case, you and Ruoying will go to He Lu's house. Tomorrow you Just go to Helu, take him to the shop, show him first, and if it works, then sign it directly, because the old house will easily attract insects if it is left idle for too long."
"I understand, sir."
Zheng Zuliang returned to the hall, called Zheng Ruoying and said: "Ruoying, go and show the contract signed with Liang Chuan to my uncle. I want to see how you wrote it?"
"Did Liang Chuan tell my uncle about our contract? My uncle is waiting for me to get it!"
Like a happy little rabbit, Zheng Ruoying trotted into her boudoir and took out a delicate red sandalwood box with a small copper lock on it. Zheng Ruoying carefully took out the deed paper and handed it to Zheng Zuliang.
The more Zheng Zuliang looked at the deed, the more ecstatic he felt. Liang Chuan's little fox really didn't trick him. He told Zheng Ruoying, "Girl, keep this thing away. If this paper says it's Wan Guan, that's too small. It’s not worth saying it’s worth tens of thousands of gold!”
