Tang Xin'an was disappointed and said, "I don't know why Xiaoyou came to me this time!" ”

Li Feibai took out three boxes of cool oil from his arms and said, "Mr. Tang, Mr. Tang, and this Brother Tang, this is the cool oil that I jointly developed with Wang Dingyi, the imperial doctor of Yuantai Hospital. It has the effects of relieving itching and pain, reducing inflammation and scalding, refreshing and refreshing the brain, and the three of you will see if it can be sold in Daxing pharmacy. ”

Tang Ziran was not happy, and said: "Our pharmacy sells medicinal materials to cure diseases and save people, not to sell strong pills like you who shout on the street and cure all diseases!" I said shopkeeper Li, can we be down-to-earth, we Daxing has given you more than 60,000 taels of business to do, let's do this business smoothly first and then talk about other businesses, don't move There is a business to cooperate with us, when we are wronged? ”

Tang Xin'an also meant this, but blamed Tang Ziran for speaking too straight, which would hurt Li Feibai's face. He coughed lightly, stopped Tang Ziran from talking further, and said, "I have also heard of Wang Dingyi's imperial doctor's medical skills. Since this cool oil is made by him, it is good to think about it. But is there really that much effect? It can also relieve itching and pain, reduce inflammation and burn, and refresh the mind? ”

Before Li Feibai could speak, Tang Zilan spoke first and said, "Can you give it a try!" She had already made up her mind that Tang Xin'an would not change her mind, so she would not let Tang Xin'an go with her mind, and she would do it with Tang Xin'an no matter what, and then said: "I don't know if it has the effect of reducing inflammation and scalding, anyway, it can relieve itching and pain." After that, he exposed his snow-white arms like lotus roots, dipped his green onions and jade hands in some cool oil and slowly smeared a small red bump, and said: "It's not itchy when you wipe it!" ”

Tang Xin'an opened the lid, leaned over to his nose and smelled it, only to feel that a medicinal fragrance was cool through his nose and went straight to his body, and his head was dizzy and dizzy because of anger suddenly cleared his heart a lot, and said: "The thing is good, but the world doesn't know and doesn't know this thing, but I don't know if it can be sold." ”

Li Feibai said: "Yesterday, I went to find Qian Zhenfu, and after Qian Zhenfu tried the cool oil, he praised it and praised it, which is very useful for the army. He immediately set a thousand boxes, and wanted to give one box to every soldier in the guard, and he wanted to lobby other guards and even the military department, so that every soldier in the world could use this good thing. ”

Tang Xin'an was still very hesitant, but when he heard Qian Zijun say yes, he immediately said: "How much does the cool oil buy, and how much does it cost to sell?" How much production can be produced in a year! ”

Li Feibai said: "Your purchase price is seven yuan, and the selling price should be ten yuan, and the annual output is between hundreds of thousands of boxes and one million boxes." After a pause, he said: "At present, the cost of using wooden boxes is a little higher, and we will study replacing it with other things when we come back, so that the purchase price can be controlled below three cents." It will also use silver, gold, and even glass such as crystal to make boxes, so that although the cost is much higher, the selling price can be increased a lot, and it is not a problem to sell three or two or five or even ten or eight taels, and the profit margin will be huge! ”

Although Tang Xin'an listened to Li Feibai's words and had a few nouns that he had never heard, he could understand it after thinking about it, and after calculating the account in his heart, he said: "I want the first batch of 50,000 boxes, and then see how the sales are to determine the amount required every month." As for the silver, what do you think of the first knot in January? ”

Li Feibai was very confident in the cool oil and immediately agreed. Then he said: "I still have a few businesses, but I don't have the money to invest and can't implement them. So I want to talk to Mr. Tang to see if we can cooperate. ”

Tang Xin'an's brows furrowed slightly, very unhappy. To be honest, he also felt that Li Feibai was so ambitious. First of all, the stone carving business of the two had just begun, and they didn't know whether Li Feibai could deliver the goods on time, so Li Feibai came to the business of cooling oil again. He saw that Qian Zijun was optimistic about the cool oil and wanted to sell it in the army, so he agreed to sell it in the pharmacy. In fact, he doesn't care if the cool oil can be sold or not, after all, 50,000 boxes are all unsalable, and he can't lose much money, but it's more than 300 taels of silver. He just wanted to take advantage of this to have a good relationship with Qian Zijun, after all, the two were doing the same business, and it was a reason to make an appointment to eat and drink.

But now Li Feibai still wants to talk about cooperation, this is not just as Tang Ziran said, treating the Daxing as a wronged man, and coming to him at every turn to ask for money. However, Li Feibai's identity is too special, and his relationship with Qian Zijun is not ordinary, so he forcibly held back the unhappiness in his heart and said, "Let's hear it!" ”

Li Feibai said: "Does the shopkeeper of Mr. Tang know about glass?" ”

Tang Xin'an's Daxing is all over the north and south of the river, and there are naturally semicolons in the coastal areas, and those shopkeepers come to Kaifeng to report the business situation, and they will also bring the strange things in the coastal areas to him to see. Isn't the so-called glass just glass beads? Children's gadgets, the price is not low, pretending to be a gem to cover an illiterate person is okay, who really knows who will want it, what can be sold.

He said, "Yes! ”

Li Feibai said: "I'm going to open a glass factory?" ”

Tang Xin'an said: "What is a factory? ”

Li Feibai said: "The factory is the same place as the iron control station, which is the place where glass is made. ”

Tang Xin'an let out an "oh" and said, "Do you know how to make glass?" ”

Li Feibai sought truth from facts and said, "No! ”

Tang Xin'an said: "So you have a craftsman who makes glass?" ”

Li Feibai nodded and said, "There is such one!" ”

Tang Xin'an said: "Did you hear him say that he would make glass, or did you see him make glass with your own eyes?" ”

Li Feibai said: "I heard him say that he can make glass!" ”

Tang Xin'an smiled and said: "Xiaoyou, I advise you, hearing is false, seeing is believing, don't invest a sum of money but can't make glass, it's too late to regret it!" I'm not interested in this business! ”

Li Feibai said: "Then let's sell seeds!" ”

Tang Xin'an said: "What seeds are sold?" ”

Li Feibai said: "The seeds of grain!" ”

Tang Xin'an smiled again and said, "My Daxing is a family that makes a fortune by buying and selling grain, and I still know something about growing grain. Since ancient times, seeds have been kept by farmers, and I have never heard of anyone buying seeds or selling seeds. ”

Li Feibai said: "Since the shopkeeper of Mr. Tang is very familiar with growing grain, then I won't explain too much. I asked Mr. Tang the shopkeeper whether we grow one season of grain or two seasons of grain every year. ”

Tang Xin'an said: "The south usually grows two seasons of rice, and most of us in the north only plant one season of wheat, but some places will also plant one season of millet, but I feel that the yield is too low, and sometimes it will affect the sowing of wheat, and there are not many people who plant it." ”

Li Feibai said: "This kind of seed of mine is sown after the wheat harvest and harvested before planting, which will not affect the sowing of the wheat. And the yield is extremely high, one mu can produce about six or seven hundred catties. ”

Tang Xin'an is very clear about how much wheat can be beaten per mu, and the best fields are only about two hundred catties or three hundred catties, and he has never heard of one that can beat six or seven hundred catties. Immediately became interested, and said: "Can you beat six or seven hundred catties of wheat seeds per acre?" ”

Li Feibai said: "Mine is not a wheat seed, but it's not too much worse!" ”

Tang Xin'an said: "Do you have it on you?" Show me some! ”

Li Feibai took out a few seeds from his body and handed them to Tang Xin'an. Tang Zilan was very pleased to see that kind of seed was crystal clear, and said, "Give me a few grains too." ”

Li Feibai took out a few more and handed them over.
