Chapter 55: The Smell of Copper

It was a little hot around the table, and the three shopkeepers wiped the sweat from their heads.

But I heard Tang Qianqian say again: "We can't sell high-quality charcoal, but we can sell this iron stove, and we can have as many exquisite tricks as we want." Such an iron stove, I sell five taels of silver, ten taels of silver, and the more beautiful ones sell for twenty taels or thirty taels, and the honeycomb coal in it is smaller than the one size in the world, and one size of coal is matched with one size of furnace, which is called high-quality special, but it is more expensive. ”

"Over the years, the forests outside Beijing have been cut to pieces. I'm afraid it's harder to find wood like carrot, right? The cost of burning charcoal is only getting higher, but coal is different. My husband said, he pointed with his hand, and under his fingertips, there will be black earth......"

Lu Fangzhi stood up abruptly and said, "Boss Tang, you ......"

Why didn't you just invite my Lu family to talk, but what did you do with the two old things, the He family and the Wen family?

Wen Youshu and He Cheng also glanced at each other, and their hearts were moved.

Tang Qianqian smiled and said, "Shopkeeper Lu, please take a seat." My husband and I are just starting out in this business, and when we first enter the industry, we naturally want to worship the docks......"

"Good! That's great! ”

Suddenly there was a thunderous cheer downstairs, interrupting everyone's conversation.

Tang Qianqian turned her head to look downstairs.

The doors of the shops on the left and right sides of the coal shop have been opened.

On both sides are also 700 square meters of large shops connected to the courtyard, which are full of honeycomb coal.

"There will still be a price concession event today......"

Another cheer.

The three shopkeepers upstairs were all moved, and they said in their hearts that this little woman was so powerful that she even prepared two shops of goods.

Tang Qianqian's gaze swept over the crowd and landed on a young man with a muslin wrapped around his head.

Wang Xiao was wearing a dark arrow sleeve suit today, so Tang Qianqian didn't recognize it just now.

At this time, he and Tang Bowang walked out together, and Tang Qianqian frowned a little when he saw that he was injured on his head.

After a while, I saw a man and a woman running out of the crowd, also wearing an arrow sleeve suit, and the three looked very similar.

The girl reached out and touched Wang Xiao's clothes, and even reached out to touch Wang Xiao's head, and then scolded loudly at the crowd.

It was very noisy outside, Tang Qianqian could only vaguely hear it, and what she was scolding seemed to be...... Mother Hippi, which one killed him to beat him?!

A girl outside the Guan, even learned Wu Zhong's swearing, and she is really knowledgeable - thinking so in her heart, Tang Qianqian was a little inexplicably unhappy.

Laughing and talking about the coal shop, there was still a commotion in front of the door.

Tang Bowang stood on a table and pressed his hands weakly, and the crowd gradually quieted down.

But I heard Tang Bowang say in a loud voice: "Do you know why someone came to our shop to make trouble today?" It's because our honeycomb coal is much cheaper than their charcoal fire, but it's still easier to burn and burn even harder! So they were in a hurry, and the boss surnamed Zheng just now said that he would buy all the honeycomb coal, and everyone would sell it at two times, or even three or four times the price, and everyone would make a fortune together. ”

The sound of muttering sounded again.

Someone shouted, "How can this be? It's hard to get a cheap charcoal ......."

"Shopkeeper Tang, you must not agree......"

Tang Bowang waved his hand and shouted: "But the old man didn't agree, the old man said, not a penny will not rise, not only now, but also the whole winter, next winter will still be at this price......"

"Good!"

"Great!"

The cheers rang out.

Upstairs, Tang Qianqian took a sip of tea.

The three old shopkeepers stood up and stood by the window and looked at it earnestly.

"Originally, the old man has calculated, if according to what he said, the old man can still earn an extra 20% profit for the owner......" Tang Bowang said this, and the crowd calmed down again.

"But my host said that even if you are squeezed out by your peers in the city, you can't raise the price! Today we doubled the price, which may mean that everyone cooks a meal for less than a penny, which seems to be nothing. But when it comes to the cold winter, this briquette's expensive penny may be a human life! Over the years, it has snowed heavily every year in Jingshi, and last year the snow was so high that it was afraid that it was half a person high, and some people may have forgotten the scene of freezing and frustration, but the old man did not forget, and the owner of my family did not forget! It was precisely because he saw such a scene that the proprietor of my house racked his brains and invented this honeycomb coal ......"

Many onlookers had come to see the excitement, but at this time, they suddenly realized that it was not a lively scene.

They found that this incident was actually deeply related to themselves.

But I heard Tang Bowang say again: "What we are doing is not to make much silver, but to wait until the cold winter comes, when the snow covers the mountains and the poor can't even cut firewood, so that more people can afford to use coal, burn fire, get warm, and cook!" Winter is coming, and the old man promised on behalf of my host that as long as we laugh and talk about the coal store for one day, the price of this honeycomb coal will not rise at all! We are determined to let this capital, let this world, there will never be that kind of scene of 'frozen bones on the road' again! The proprietor of my family said - a little money, pay for it with laughter, and I am willing to warm the people of the world with blood......"

"Good!"

"Well said!"

Someone shouted.

Some people were teary-eyed.

Wang Xiao was extremely ashamed, sniffed, and lost his mind.

That day, Ying'er said in the carriage that she was buried deep in the snow, so he thought of making honeycomb coal.

But it is by no means as compassionate as Tang Bowang said......

Tang Bowang pressed his hands again and shouted hoarsely: "Today, we are going to do an activity, and each person will give away two honeycomb coals for free, which is for free!" ”

"Good!"

"Great Good Man......"

Another round of applause!

"Please line up and pick up the ...... in turn"

Amidst the shouting and crying, Wang Xiao lowered his head in shame deeply.

Although the process of this whole activity was mentioned to Tang Qianqian, he really didn't have such a thick face to accept the words 'money is paid with laughter, and people who are willing to warm the world with blood'.

He does this business clearly to make money.

But I didn't want to make a lot of money, and it was enough to buy a house for Ying'er to live in.

So when he started to earn three thousand taels by doing it, he was shocked. Felt...... Business in this era is also too profitable.

So he set a price of a penny.

But 3,000 taels of silver can collect all the cinders in Beijing, which shows that the cost is low, and the price of honeycomb coal is clearly more than three times the profit.

When I used to be a Taobao seller, I had 20% of the profits, which were all great categories.

Those people in the coal industry really want to make trouble, and they think that the price is too low.

How much do you have to earn?

That night, Wang Xiao and Tang Qianqian talked a lot, there were a lot of things that were very scattered, what 'do you have an event', 'advertise widely', 'grab market share at a low price', 'publicize the corporate image for the sake of the people', etc., some of which he explained seriously, and some of them just mentioned casually.

But I didn't expect Tang Qianqian to look careless, but she wrote down everything.

This woman really has a very high executive ability.

Wang Xiao lowered his head, and suddenly felt that his eyes were a little sour.

Speaking of which, he not only suspected that Tang Qianqian was a liar, but also suspected that Tang Qianqian had run away, but he also expected her to increase the price of a penny by another three to five points. He was also mentally prepared to think that she would eat ten to twenty points of his profits......

But looking at today's situation, not only did she not eat her own profits, but she actually put money into it herself.

Thinking of this, Wang Xiao's sense of shame was even stronger.

is not only ashamed of his behavior of deceiving the favor of the people on the street, but also feels guilty of his suspicion of Tang Qianqian's thoughts.

He smiled self-deprecatingly and began to think of something happy.

Like, finally about to make money......

I really like the smell of copper.

I heard Qin Xiaozhu say in my ear: "The owner of this store is really fucking stupid, I'm afraid I will have to lose a lot of silver......

Wang smiled with a black line on his face.

“…… But it's worth it! Qin Xiaozhu said.

After she finished speaking, she patted Wang Xiao on the shoulder and said, "Right? Tiger. ”

Wang Xiao had no choice but to nod helplessly.

"Hey, Xiao Chai He, you fucking show your master. See? The three of us are in a group. Qin Xiaozhu hugged Wang Xiao's shoulder and shouted.

Xiao Chai He turned his head and glanced at it, too lazy to pay attention to Qin Xiaozhu.

His eyes looked to the east of the long street, and he saw Yuan Qing, the commander of the patrol camp, walking this way with people.

Yuan Qing has cooperated with Xiao Chai He for a long time, and he has also eaten a lot of money, so this time he naturally received money to support the scene of Xiaotan Coal Bank......

Xiao Chai He's eyes looked to the west of the long street again, but his face was instantly ugly.

Zheng Wenxing also brought a group of people over.

In this group of people, Xiao Chai He, who walked in the most handsome, had also seen it, but it was Bian Kangping, the deputy capital of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division.

Although the deputy capital division is only an official of the seventh grade, the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division is able to manage these market affairs, and his subordinates are all city patrols. It is a Buddha that can just suppress Yuan Qing.

Zheng Wenxing's move is the key point on Xiao Chai He's side.

Xiao Chai He hurriedly looked at Tang Bo and said, "Something is wrong......

"What's wrong?" It was Wang Xiao who answered first, "But we can't hold back the people invited by the other party?" ”

Xiao Chai He was anxious, and when he saw that this young man, who was only fifteen years old and had been injured, came over to participate in these things, he said, "It's none of your business, go aside." ”

"What the are you talking about?" Qin Xiaozhu came over and pushed Xiao Chai He.

Xiao Chai He didn't dare to touch Qin Xiaozhu again, and said to Qin Xiaozhu quite speechlessly: "People are coming to find fault, your identity is expensive, can't you avoid it?" ”

"What thief would dare to find fault with him?"

Since Qin Xiaolan dared to ask, Xiao Chai He dared to respond: "That person, do you see it?" The head of your 'accomplice' is the one he found to beat......"

......

Bian Kangping was dressed in civilian clothes, but he still couldn't hide the majesty on his body.

Although he only has seven grades, the power in his hands is much better than that of many fourth- and fifth-grade officials in Beijing.

This large city with a population of nearly one million at the foot of the world was initially managed by the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, catching thieves, inspecting the wind and fire, managing the market, cleaning the streets, editing and examining shopkeepers, and providing relief to the poor......

Since the founding of the Chu Dynasty, the Five Cities Terracotta Division has been the largest snake in the Jingcheng well.

Several generations have fallen, and the power of the yamen of all parties has been intertwined, and the yamen such as the Imperial History of the Patrol City, the Factory Guard, the Six Ministries, the Shuntian Mansion, the two counties in Beijing, and the patrol and capture camp are all encroaching on the authority of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses.

But Bian Kangping, the deputy commander of the capital, can still run rampant in Beijing!

Today, since the Coal Chamber of Commerce in Beijing has collected a large amount of money, Bian Kangping decided to come out and take a walk to administer justice to these poor shops. It can be regarded as a micro-service visit, sympathetic to the people's feelings.

At this time, walking on the long street, the wind blew the long beard under Bian Kangping's chin. Thinking of the plate of gold that had been delivered to his home, and the two extremely lovely beauties, he was overjoyed, and a serious expression of asking for the people's life appeared on his face.

Today, we vow to order the closure of the coal shop to restore the fairness of the market.

Zheng Wenxing felt the aura of Bian Kangping beside him, and he was also determined in his heart, and he was faintly looking forward to it.

I walked to the coal shop with a smile, but suddenly a beautiful little girl stopped in front of me.

"You are Zheng Wenxing?" The little girl asked.

"That's right," Zheng Wenxing smiled slightly, and said magnificently: "Who are you...... Yes! Painful ......"

"Protect Lord Bian!"

Exclamations rang out.

"Lord Bian!"

"Ah......h

On the east side of the long street, after a few miserable screams came into his ears, Yuan Qing stopped.

Squinting at it, he decisively ordered: "Let's go, go back!" ”

"Dad, what's wrong?" Yuan Huan asked.

"It's those two again." Yuan Qing frowned.

Yuan Huan was taken aback, looked back, and said in a low voice: "Sure enough, it's the two of the Qin family again...... But...... This time, they are fighting Bian Dusi of the Five Cities Terracotta Division! ”

Yuan Qing hurriedly walked in a hurry, and said coldly: "So Lao Tzu said to go quickly!" How many times have I told you that when you eat in Beijing, you can leave when you can't afford to mess with either side. Besides, the people of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division were beaten, and we were locked up in patrolling the camp. ”

"But Dad, if you're gone, you won't have any money."

Yuan Qing's face was cloudy, and when he turned his head, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Geng Dangzheng following the team in a daze.

"Let that idiot go ......"
