If it can be sold, it would be a good business.
Use waste.
Zhao Shifu was thinking in his mind with a smile on his face.
In response to Zhao Zhenling's inquiry, Xu Qin cupped his hands and said:
"That's right, Lord Magistrate, we plan to buy the two salt mines in your town."
Mom, is there really someone here to buy these two piles of waste mountains?
Zhao Shifu heard it with his own ears, but he was confused.
I couldn't believe it at first.
When he saw that Xu Qin and others had serious expressions, not joking, he felt ecstatic in his heart.
"Master Xu, may I ask you what you bought these two salt mines for?"
Xu Qin smiled slightly and answered truthfully, "What can you do if you buy a salt mine? Of course it is to make salt."
After hearing this, Zhao Shifu burst into laughter and said in a deep voice:
"Master, I don't want to harm you, let alone defraud you of your money."
"Do you know that if you eat the salt dug out of this mine, you will die?
The Yamen will come to seal the mines and arrest people at any time. "
"Think about it, if the salt dug out could be eaten by people, would we still be waiting for you to buy it?"
It seems that this town order is quite conscientious.
"Don't worry, Lord Magistrate. Since I want to buy this salt mine, I naturally have a way to disinfect the salt ore." Xu Qin said calmly.
"What...disinfection?"
After hearing this, Zhao Shifu turned pale with shock and was so nervous that his mouth dropped.
I've never heard of the word 'disinfection', what's the point?
However, when Zhao Shifu was young, he was a member of the Northern Yuan Dynasty and had a private school. His educational level was one of the few in Shanyang County.
Literally understood, disinfection means finding ways to clean and eliminate the toxins in salt mines.
But who do you think you are, a god?
I really don’t know how high the sky is.
Zhao Shifu raised his eyes and rolled his eyes at Xu Qin, with a slight curl of the corners of his mouth, a look of disdain on his face.
"Mr. Xu, is that disinfectant...aura of yours?"
"Don't worry, old man. How dare you joke with your life if you are a late student?"
makes sense.
Unless there is water in the head.
Seeing Xu Qin's determined and determined look, Zhao Shifu began to waver.
Damn, you really want it, right?
This mine is useless in my own hands anyway, it's just a pile of poisonous stones.
Since someone comes to you voluntarily to buy it, then sell it to him.
"Mr. Xu, my two mines are not very cheap, aren't they?" Zhao Shifu continued to test.
After Xu Qin heard this, he smiled and said:
"Old sir, how much silver do you want to sell it for?"
Oh shit, that’s an interesting question.
At least there was some impatience in the tone.
Zhao Shifu is an old man, so of course he understands, "Mr. Xu, how much silver do you plan to pay?"
He kicked the ball back.
Xu Qin never wanted to be wordy when doing things. He thought for a while and stretched out two fingers.
Two thousand taels of snowflake silver should be enough to buy these two mines, right?
When Zhao Shifu saw the other party holding out two fingers, he felt ecstatic in his heart.
"Two hundred taels of silver, deal!"
The price in his mind was only one hundred taels.
Xu Qin thought, "???"
Really overjoyed.
Who would have thought that two hundred taels can buy two mines, and they are also large-scale salt mines!
This is such a surprise.
This is considered a 'cabbage' price.
However, he suddenly thought that this was not a modern society, and they only looked at the surface.
Otherwise, it would cost millions of dollars at least to prove the underground reserves.
Xu Qin pretended to be in pain and said:
"Old sir, I seem to have paid too much. Can you please pay less?"
Hey, there is still such a business?
What a fledgling rookie.
Zhao Shifu's hands were trembling with excitement, and he said anxiously:
"Young Master, you paid the price yourself, why did you regret it?"
Xu Qin pretended to be embarrassed and said:
"I don't know the market situation, but when I see you agreeing so happily, I know that the reward is high..."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Shifu also felt that he was too angry.
If I had offered a high price just now, I could have gotten an extra hundred taels of silver after some hard bargaining.
The negotiation between the two was a bit like two trees intertwining in the wind, snow and rain. They were filled with emotion, mixed emotions and annoyance.
Now that their trump cards were revealed, there was no room for maneuver in the negotiations, and the deal was finally settled for two hundred taels of silver.
Following from the side, Xu Sanlang, who was Xu Qin's servant, couldn't help shouting:
"Young master, don't be too hasty to make a decision. You won't suffer any loss if you compare with others. This is a broken mountain. It costs two hundred taels of silver. In my opinion, it's at most twenty taels."
Xu Sanlang also learned to be a stonemason in his family, and he knew the market of rocks.
This kind of salt mine itself is poisonous, and the ore cannot be used as stone, so it is really worthless.
If he didn't believe that the young master said it would be of great use, he wouldn't have taken it as a free gift.
"How can it be called Broken Mountain?"
Zhao Shifu was a country squire, so of course he wanted to keep his reputation. Word spread that he was relying on his old age to deceive young people from other places.
He frowned and retorted:
"These two mountains are property inherited from our ancestors. If you think they are too expensive, please take them back."
He pretended to be quite calm on the surface.
But actually while he was speaking, his cloudy eyes kept secretly glancing at Xu Qin.
He was speaking hard and trying to keep his face.
If the customer really left, he would have to let go again, even if it was cheaper by dozens of taels.
After all, with the current market conditions, this kind of salt mine is only worth fifty taels at most.
Xu Qin never liked bargaining in his past life. There was no point in getting a few taels of silver cheaper.
If you want to play, play big.
"Okay, let's not wait any longer. Two hundred taels is two hundred taels. It's a deal."
"Oh, my dear, the young master is so refreshing and so discerning, my salt mine
But what a mountain, covering an area of more than a thousand acres! "
Zhao Shifu said beautiful words while snickering in his heart.
This young master is really a living treasure. Spending two hundred taels of silver to buy these useless things is really an idiot.
If this salt mine can really produce salt, who will sell it to you for two hundred taels?
Two million taels will not be sold.
Zhao Shifu suddenly thought, if this fool really poisoned people with salt from the salt mine, would he be implicated?
Will he be involved in a lawsuit now?
right!
A memorandum of purchase and sale, also known as a release from office, must be signed.
However, the sales contract had to be signed first, and after the two hundred taels of silver were obtained, additional requirements were made.
Otherwise, this fool will be scared away.
Thinking of this, Zhao Shifu turned his head and shouted into the main room, "Lao Wu, hurry up and get the land deed and the blank contract of the salt mine."
"I know, sir!"
A clear and sweet voice sounded in the courtyard.
After a while, a young woman wearing a light blue embroidered dress walked out of the back room with her waist twisted and embroidered shoes.
She held a copper tray in her hand, with the land deed and a blank contract on it.
It seems that this Zhaofu is an expert in business, and his family actually has a blank contract ready.
The young woman gently put down the copper tray, and when she stood up, she quietly glanced at Xu Qin with her beautiful eyes.
I was immediately shocked.
