Chapter 39: Getting Rich

"Six taels of silver? Well, this price is right, Da Lang, the price is set, and the soap should be sold, and now the outside of the Lin Mansion is blocked by merchants who want to buy soap. “

Lin Yang's cooling soaps were wrapped in paper one by one, because the soap shop was still preparing, and they could only be busy with soap for the time being.

"What the second master said is right, there are now three or four hundred merchants outside our Lin Mansion, and they all want to take the goods to sell outside, and the small ones almost can't get in." Zhang Yang came back in the dust, he had just gone to Ding Li and asked Jean to transport the spinning machine and loom to the workshop.

Lin Mu glanced at the boxes of soap and said, "Let the merchants come in." ”

Uncle Zhang answered yes and trotted all the way to let Shan Hu open the door and let him go.

As the gate of Liufu slowly opened, the merchants rushed into the Lin family's compound, and some people even pushed and fought with each other, and the scene was in danger of getting out of control.

Lin Mu gave Shan Hu a look at this time, Shan Hu suddenly pulled out the knife on his waist and roared, "Silence! Quiet! If anyone dares to be rude in the Lin Mansion, Hugh blames the Sprinkler family for being polite! “

Shan Hu's voice was very loud, but it was very powerful, and when this voice went down, many merchants suddenly became honest, and they stopped two meters in front of Lin Mu.

Stabilizing the excited emotions of the tenants, Lin Mu said: "Ladies and gentlemen, the soap is officially on sale today, everyone has a share, there is no need to worry, just because the first batch of soap is not large, it can only be sold in limited quantities, and each person can only buy a maximum of 30 yuan." “

"Thirty bucks? So little? “

Some merchants were very disappointed.

"Lin Gongzi, can you have more, I have bought all the shops that specialize in soap, and thirty yuan is not enough." Someone shouted.

“……”

Lin Mu smiled, he continued: "It's not that Lin doesn't want to sell, but the soap workshop is being built, and it will take a few days to officially start producing soap, and then you can buy it on a large scale, but presumably you have also heard about the rules of the Lin family weaving workshop, because the soap is a strange commodity to live in, there are too many merchants to purchase, and the workshop cannot meet everyone's needs, so people who want to purchase soap in large quantities can place orders in advance, and the workshop will give priority to the merchants who place orders to provide soap, of course, Lin has always been difficult not to force people, Feel free to place an order or not. ”

"Lin Gongzi is now a waiter in the Duanwang Mansion, and he naturally won't do that kind of fraud just by virtue of this identity, but how much is this soap worth?" A merchant asked.

"Six taels of silver."

"The soap is twice as big as the pancreas, and it is fragrant and pleasant, and it is easier to use than the pancreas, and the price is very affordable, in this case, I want to place an order for 5,000 pieces of soap." It's still the merchant just now.

Other merchants also have a plan in their hearts, and they are all thinking about how many orders they are going to place.

Lin Mu nodded, and he said to the merchants: "The purchase of soap Lin Mou said very clearly, if you want to purchase soap, please register here at our Lin family's second shopkeeper." “

After that, Lin Mu pointed to Lin Qing who was sitting behind the table, externally, he was the chief shopkeeper of the Lin family's firm, Lin Qing was the second shopkeeper, and Lin Yang was the third shopkeeper.

"Everyone line up one by one, don't worry, once the soap factory starts, it will not be a problem to produce 5,000 pieces of soap a day." Lin Yang stood at the table and was responsible for entertaining the merchants.

According to their plan, the soap workshop covers an area of 10 acres, and the workshop will no longer use things like iron pots to make soap, but build large pools that can be heated on the bottom, so that a lot of soap can be produced at once.

Lin Qing smiled, he held the pen, in front of the order, there is a proposed contract on the order, there is a liability for breach of contract by both parties, if the Lin family breaches the contract, they not only have to compensate for the deposit, but also according to the total price of the goods 20% as compensation, the merchants of the weaving mill will place orders when they see this condition.

Like the merchants of the weaving workshop, the merchants who bought the soap had no doubts after reading the order, and signed the orders one by one, of course, if they breached the contract, the deposit would not be returned.

Hu Ledger sat beside Lin Qing, and he was responsible for collecting cash when Lin Qing signed orders with merchants.

In one afternoon, more than 300 merchants bought the soap, and at the same time left a huge order of 500,000 pieces of soap.

"Young master, 10,000 pieces of soap were sold for a total of 60,000 taels of silver, and the deposit of 500,000 pieces of soap is 600,000 taels of silver according to 20%, and we have made a fortune." Hu Yi's hand holding the account book was trembling, he had been doing the account office for so many years, and he had never seen so much silver, I am afraid that he would wake up with a smile in his dream tonight.

Lin Qing and Lin Yang patted each other's shoulders excitedly, this time Lin Mu really let them see what business is.

Everyone in the Lin family fell into ecstasy because they had earned so much silver at once, and Lin Mu was as happy as them while retaining a sense of indifference.

600,000 taels of silver is indeed a lot, but he is still much worse than the three wealthy merchants of Wu Bingjian, Hu Xueyan and Sheng Xuanhuai in the late Qing Dynasty, not to mention the Krupp and other families in Europe at that time.

In addition, he is using products that are ahead of this era to make profits, and it is natural that he can make huge profits, but for him, this feeling is really cool.

"Young master, how should I spend so much silver?" Zhang Yang was imagining the picture of so many pieces of silver piled together.

When everyone heard this, they all looked at Lin Mu and waited for his decision.

"Now that I have silver, of course, I am running a military workshop, purchasing fertile land, houses, idle land, and the news that the gold people are going south, and now the prices of these things in Jiangning City have plummeted, when will I not buy them now?" Lin Mu has long had the idea of copying the bottom, and now is the time to implement it.

After thinking for a while, he said to Uncle Zhang: "Uncle Zhang, give you a quota of 200,000 taels to buy the assets I just mentioned in Jiangning City, including the courtyard where we live now, and discuss it with the Sun family, if the price is reasonable, we will buy it, and it is not a matter to rent it all the time." ”

"Don't worry, young master, since you said it last time, the old slave has been inquiring, and now he has found a few good fertile fields and idle land."

Lin Mu gave Uncle Zhang an appreciative look, and then he said with a straight face: "The matter of the military workshop should also be prepared, Zhang Yang, you will go to the city and outside the city tomorrow to post a notice of recruiting blacksmiths at a high price, and this military workshop must rely on them to run it." ”

"Yes, young master, the little one is guaranteed to be completed." Zhang Yang still looks like a hanger.

After assigning the next tasks to the two, Lin Mu said to Lin Qing and Lin Yang: "Second uncle, third uncle, now there is a soap shop to take care of, I'm afraid it will be harder in the future." ”

"What are you polite to us, the Lin family now has you, the patriarch, is there is green smoke on the ancestral grave, no matter how bitter and tired we are, our hearts are sweet." Lin Qing's mouth was like honey.

Lin Yang patted Lin Feng on the shoulder, and now he has a new perspective on the so-called strange tricks, "Feng'er, Dad blamed you for being wrong before, and in the future, I will learn hard from your eldest brother." ”

"Dad, don't worry." Lin Feng glanced at Lin Mu and showed a proud look for the first time.
