Chapter 90 Transporting Ore Out of the Valley (3)
Boss Zhang opened the door with a key, there were three spacious warehouses inside, and there were still yellow ore powder left on the wall and underground, Fang Lei asked: "Is there a copper ore smelter here?" ”
"Yes! This is a large-scale factory, which can not only smelt copper, but also cast copper products, such as copper basins, copper pots, gongs, and even copper statues and other handicrafts, so it can accommodate more than 100 people! ”
Fang Lei asked puzzledly: "Such a factory that can produce and sell itself is indeed not simple, why did it go bankrupt?" Is it because it can't be sold? ”
"It's not! Sales are good! It's just that there is a lack of raw materials, in the early years, copper ore resources were abundant and could be mined in large quantities, and they did make a lot of money, but then copper ore was almost mined, and the supply exceeded demand, so they had to close! ”
"I see, there are no mineral resources, that is, 'it is difficult for a good woman to drink without rice'!"
Boss Zhang suddenly remembered and asked, "Isn't there a copper mine in your Immortal Medicine Valley?" Why don't you ship it out and sell it to them? ”
Fang Lei explained: "There is indeed a copper mine and an iron mine in it, but the manpower in the valley is limited, among more than 200 people, there are only more than 60 strong laborers, and the rest are women and children. ”
"This is also true, I heard that people from outside the valley can't enter, and if they step into the valley, they will die, and if they can't recruit miners, they won't be able to mine ore!" Boss Zhang has lived here for decades, and he also knows the legend that outsiders will definitely die when they enter the valley.
"That's why I moved the lamp factory to the Guwai Office, recruited outsiders as workers, and transferred the masters of the small and medium-sized workshops in the Gugu to guide the work!"
When the group entered the first floor, Boss Zhang said: "This is the copper products workshop, which can accommodate 100 people to work, behind the workshop is the workers' dormitory, and then into the smelting workshop, the place is so big, enough for you to use!" ”
Fang Lei said with great satisfaction: "The venue is big enough!" There are three large warehouses in front, one for raw materials, one for finished products, and the other for finished products! It is used to renovate the office, make the best use of it, just right! ”
"Then let's go through the formalities now, after it is done, the old man will hand over the real estate contract to you, and Fang Gongzi will have a factory!"
Fang Lei said to Zhang Dabiao: "You guys are waiting here, Boss Zhang and I will go to do things first, and we will be back soon!" ”
Zhang Dabiao said: "Don't worry, young valley master! We don't go there either! ”
Boss Zhang said in surprise: "No wonder you can call the shots of anything, it turns out to be the master of the Shaogu!" ”
"Yes! The old man of the valley granted me absolute power, and after leaving the valley, I had the final say, but after returning to the valley, I also took the initiative to report to him! ”
"That's good, our cooperation is like a nail on the board - it's safe!"
Fang Lei let Boss Zhang get into the carriage and said, "Don't worry! The words spoken by the master of this young valley are true to his word, and he will never change his mind halfway! ”
Back at the smelter, Fang Lei took out twenty-five taels of silver from the silver bag, put it in the gold bag, and then handed the silver bag to Boss Zhang, saying, "This is one hundred and fifty taels of silver, please take a look!" ”
Boss Zhang said: "It's the silver bag I just handed over to you, and I don't have any trust at all, how will I do business in the future?" ”
As he spoke, after writing the receipt, he took out the deed from the drawer and handed it to Fang Lei along with the key.
Fang Lei was about to say goodbye, but Boss Zhang said: "Young Master Fang! The old man invites you to eat and drink at Wangjiang Restaurant to celebrate the success of our first cooperation! ”
"Boss Zhang! I have silver here, you have helped the junior so much and solved the problem of the plant, it should be the junior who invites you! Fang Lei said sincerely.
Boss Zhang hurriedly said: "Why worry about it? We have done such a big business, you have become a big customer of the old man, don't be polite to the old man, or the old man treats! ”
Seeing that he couldn't excuse himself, Fang Lei said, "Okay! It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate, this time it's up to you to invite, anyway, we will often meet in the future, there will be contacts, and then let the juniors invite you again! ”
"That's it!" Boss Zhang opened another drawer, took out twenty taels of silver, put it in his coat pocket, and stood up.
Fang Lei patted the bag of gold and said: "The junior is going to use the gold smelted recently to make gold necklaces and gold jewelry, and give a thick necklace to the man in the valley, and a pair of gold jewelry to the woman in the valley, so that they can walk out of the fairy medicine valley in a beautiful manner, come to Peach Blossom Town for sightseeing, see the colorful world outside and understand the customs outside the valley!" ”
Boss Zhang asked: "Is Fang Gongzi looking for a reputable goldsmithing workshop with good craftsmanship to process?" ”
"Yes! Does Boss Zhang have a good introduction? ”
"Yes! Most of the bosses of the gold smelting mines here are smelted gold, handed over to the gold processing workshop to make gold jewelry, and then wholesaled to merchants who come from various places to pick up the goods, the old man also introduced them to such a processing workshop, they are all reputable, well-known shopkeepers, Fang Gongzi can rest assured to hand over the gold to them! Boss Zhang said affirmatively.
Fang Lei said reassuringly: "That's good, the junior was worried just now, will it be handed over to those unscrupulous black shops for processing?" What a friend, one more way! ”
When he said, he beckoned Boss Zhang to get into the carriage and returned to Zhang Dabiao's side, Boss Zhang said: "This is not far from Taohua Town, and you can't park carriages on the street, so you can lead the horses into the factory to rest, lock the gate, and then everyone walks into the street!" It's easier to get things done that way! ”
Fang Lei took out the key, handed it to Zhang Dabiao, and said: "Let's do as Boss Zhang said, lead the horse in and lock it, and then go to the street to drink, eat and drink enough, and then go home, how about it?" ”
Who says drinking isn't addictive? Zhang Dabiao After they drank once, they felt that the feeling after being drunk was comfortable, hazy, hazy, a qiē fatigue, a qiē trouble, a qiē unpleasant, will be swept away, and after waking up, it is full of energy and infinite strength.
Now that they heard that there was wine again, everyone was excited, and after quickly leading the horse in, they followed behind Boss Zhang and Fang Lei and walked straight to Peach Blossom Town.
Walking on the street, seeing the rows of shops on both sides and a dazzling array of various goods, the team members are dizzying, they have lived a closed life in the Immortal Medicine Valley for more than 20 years, where have they seen this kind of busy and crowded scene?
Fang Lei said: "In another month, go shopping a few more times, and you will know that the silver is useful!" ”
Coming to the downtown area in the center of the street, Boss Zhang, who was walking in front of him and leading the way, suddenly turned to a side alley, Zhang Dabiao thought: Walking well on the street, what did he turn to the alley for? Could it be that there are accomplices who are ambushing there to rob?
