"Why did Magistrate Su say this? Our flower district has always been famous for its poverty. How could there be bandits?"
Seeing Su Yan speak, Hua Yan immediately started to pretend to be confused.
Naturally, there were no robbers or mountain bandits in the Hua District before. At that time, all the mountain and forest areas were under the jurisdiction of General Bai, while the security inside and outside the city was managed by the Hua clan and other clans.
Once the perpetrators are caught, they will be prepared according to the ancient methods of the flower area:
He stole property and was beaten to death, and his wife and daughter drowned.
Those who cut people's lives with a straw will be killed with a stick, and those who are treacherous will be strangled.
In the past, the public security in the Huahua area was pretty good. Except for fights caused by clan friction, there were no vicious incidents. However, after the clans and demon clans transferred their power to the Huahua official office, the clans and demon clans that were originally responsible for public security naturally also All withdrawn.
Of course Hua Yan knew that the invasion of Southern Xinjiang had made life difficult for many Huahua people. In addition, there were no monster patrols in the mountains and forests, and many Southern Xinjiang aliens were smashing, looting, burning, raping and plundering in the Huahua area.
But this is no longer a matter for the clans. They also need to spend money to be responsible for public security.
When a tribesman is injured, money is needed, money is needed to buy medicine, and even if the houses are damaged, money and effort are needed to repair them!
Now that the taxation rights in the city have been taken by the Red King, the clan is naturally unwilling to come forward and engage in money-losing business.
Therefore, the moment Su Yan talked about suppressing bandits, Hua Yan already knew the purpose of Su Yan's visit, and immediately started to pretend to be confused and asked questions. She even asked Su Yan how could there be bandits in the Huahua area because they were so poor?
"Is the taste of the cake okay? Although it is made from ordinary materials, I plan to use the most exquisite wooden box as a package to attract Xia Yu's upper class ladies and girls."
Seeing that Hua Yan was pretending to be dumbfounded and clearly rejecting his proposal, Su Yan was not in a hurry, so he changed the topic to the cake.
Su Yan came to Hua's family not only to deal with the bandits in the refugee villages in southern Xinjiang, but also to attract investment.
"It tastes really good, I like this bite." Huayan said with a smile, but he had no intention of touching the cake on the table.
If it was just eating and drinking, it would be fine. Huayan could finish the sweet cake directly, but Su Yan's cake was wrapped with other things.
He won't touch it again until he understands it.
"If we treat it as a business, can it be successful?" Su Yan looked at Hua Yan and asked, "As I said, we will focus on the upper market?"
Although Su Yan had his own plan regarding the cake, business matters naturally required market research. It's useless if you think it's feasible, only if the person who has to pay for it thinks it's feasible.
"I can't say whether it will work or not," Hua Yan said with a smile: "There are too many unexpected possibilities. Pastry is not an exclusive product. No matter how complicated its production process is, it can only be exclusive for a period of time."
"Of course, I don't doubt the spending power of the upper class. When the pastry shop is alone, you can naturally make money, but once it is cracked and spread all over the street, it is no longer valuable."
Su Yan's path was very clear, which was to spend a lot of money directly and use the sweet taste and extremely exquisite packaging to impress Xia Yu's upper class.
Let this pastry become the food of the nobility, and artificially give it an expensive and high-end attribute.
As for how to get in, Hua Yan had no doubts. The identity of County Magistrate Su in front of him might not be simple. He could even talk to the Grand Master, one of Xia Yu's three divisions. It was not easy to sneak into Xia Yu's upper-class nobles.
"If you can make money for a while, if you can't make excess returns, there are other ways to do it." Su Yan did not go into details about how to make it a unique thing in the future. Instead, he directly said: "Master Hua, are you interested in investing?"
"Investment?"
A surprised expression appeared on Huayan's cheeks, and she looked at Su Yan with an extremely strange expression.
"When I was in Flower City, the pastry workshop was naturally my business, but I was just a passerby and would go back after a while."
When Su Yan said this, there was an obvious look of disdain on his cheeks.
Su Yan was afraid that as soon as he left, Prince Chi would go to his aunt's house to inform him of the fire in the pastry workshop, and then King Chi would launch his own cake.
Therefore, if you want to do business in the flower area, there are spiritual stones that are not useful. Some people look at it, but no one knows what will happen. With the greedy character of the Red King, God knows what he can do.
Of course, apart from this consideration, Su Yan is also in a difficult situation now.
The storage ring is indeed in hand, but it needs to be placed with Master Sumire for safekeeping in a few days.
Cheating is not allowed on the outing, and Su Yan doesn't want Master Jin to be in trouble.
"interesting."
After Hua Yan pondered for a long time, she said: "I am indeed quite interested in it, let's talk about it?"
This pastry is indeed quite interesting, especially the sweet taste.
You can definitely make money, but how do you divide the account and what kind of risks do you need to take?
As a clan member of the Hua family, there are many people in the family, so naturally it is impossible to give up the opportunity to make money in front of them, and the expenditure on the journey of cultivation is not a small amount.
Therefore, after confirming that there was a market for this pastry, Huayan directly started talking about how to divide the accounts.
When doing business in the south-south area, you should put the villain first and then the gentleman. If the issue of splitting accounts is not discussed well, there is no need to continue discussing other matters.
………………
The time is approaching noon.
"Things about suppressing bandits"
Regarding the pastry business, the conversation was coming to an end, and Su Yan spoke again at this moment.
"It's impossible, there's absolutely no way there are bandits." Hua Yan still pretended to be dumbfounded and stopped talking at all.
The matter is one and the same. Making money is a matter of private cooperation between the two parties. Suppressing bandits is the business of the Red King. He was beaten by the Red King not long ago. How could he continue to approach with such a shy face if he is not a cheap person.
"No. What I want to say is, if there are any brothers in the clan or in the mountains who want to make money, please ask the Hua Family Master for me," Su Yan said.
Regarding the matter of suppressing bandits, the Red King's army was currently plundering southern Xinjiang and was unable to do anything. The Red King's Mansion naturally allocated a sum of money to the Flower Office and asked the county magistrate to find some temporary workers to take care of it.
It's difficult for the government to find someone, and it's even harder to find monks. The old man of the Red King has offended the natives.
He's not cheap, so how could he get along with her?
But if another person were to speak, it would not be difficult to recruit monks.
Su Yan had been laying the groundwork for so long just for this one sentence.
I ask you for help, but you don't agree, but you are here to take advantage of me, and I give you wages. You family leaders are indeed rich, but do you really have no poor brothers under you?
It’s not difficult to say something, just say it.
You don’t have one here, and I don’t believe that no one from the demon clan is willing to come here to receive the spirit stone.
"Tsk"
Hua Yan pondered for a long time, then clicked her tongue and said:
"Then let me ask for you! As for wages, do you understand what I mean?"
"I understand, go to the big newspaper, and the government officials will get a lot of it, and you and I will get 10% of the rest, and we'll get the Red King's kickback."
"Sanqi, right?"
"Twenty-eight is enough."
