[The new book is online, and the support of book friends is urgently needed, and the crab kneels to collect, recommend, and comment :)]
Without thinking about it for too long, Ding Yimo had already made a decision, tapping on the table and frowning, "Brother Fan, don't worry! The three-year period is approaching, and your sister and I should get married, so why don't you both move to Zunhua...... You just have to study with peace of mind, and come back with a reputation in the field as soon as possible...... Even if you don't want to, whether it's opening a library to teach, or helping the account office, with the ability of Fan Di, where can you not find a job? Isn't this day going to happen again? ”
Hearing this, Chu Fan finally decided that the Ding family did not plan to regret the marriage, Ding Yimo would not stand idly by, and his eyes immediately became a little more cordial when he looked at Ding Yimo - in this world, it is not easy to meet a kind person.
"Thank you, brother-in-law, for arranging it so properly," he changed his words, "but there is still one thing that needs my brother-in-law's help." ”
Only then did Chu Fan tell the story that Wang Ting's trial was unrelenting and forced him to pay another 30,000 taels of silver within a year, and he had to continue to run the sea trade.
"Shhh Ding Yimo really gasped when he heard this, "This prefect's heart is also dark!" ”
"People are under the eaves, so they have to bow their heads," Chu Fan shook his head and said, "But it's okay, I've already thought of a way to deal with it." ”
"Oh? What's the idea? Ding Yimo's eyes widened in curiosity.
"Selling tobacco to the Japanese country can make huge profits." Chu Fan said in general terms.
"Tobacco?" Ding Yimo rubbed his chin and thought for a long time, and asked suspiciously, "Brother Fan, although I don't know about sea trade, I have also heard that the most profitable thing in the sea trade of the Japanese country should be raw silk." ”
"Raw silk is certainly profitable, but ......" Chu Fan had to give Ding Yimo a detailed explanation of the fact that in order to prevent Wang Ting's attempt to be black-hearted again, he did not dare to ask for a loan, and the capital was insufficient.
Ding Yimo smiled bitterly and shook his head again and again, and looked down on his prospective brother-in-law in his heart - he was a person who had been in the shopping mall for a long time, and it was not surprising that he could see through Wang Ting's intentions, but this little showman who had just set foot in the shopping mall could also do it, which surprised him.
"In this way, you are now a dojo in a snail shell, and you can only rely on the capital of 5,000 taels to do business," Ding Yimo said as his brows furrowed more and more, "You have to earn back 30,000 silver a year, which is obviously embarrassing!" …… Let me think about it. ”
After speaking, he didn't look at Chu Fan, he looked up and thought about it, but his fingers subconsciously tapped on the table, Chu Fan couldn't say anything when he saw this, so he had to lower his head and concentrate on eating tea.
It took a long time for Ding Yimo to take a long breath, and when he looked at Chu Fan again, his brows were already relaxed, "Brother Fan, you and I are close relatives, and your family's business is my business, you just have to let it go, and if something goes wrong then, just write to me and tell me, I will not stand idly by...... It's only 30,000 taels of silver, and my Ding family can still afford it! ”
A warm current surged in Chu Fan's heart, and when Ding Yimo said this, he really regarded himself as his own family. Shrugging his nose, he stood up solemnly, and said to Ding Yimo, "With my brother-in-law's words, everyone will have the bottom in their hearts, and the family does not speak two words, and this grace and this Dechu family are unforgettable." ”
Ding Yimo was also moved, stood up and helped Chu Fan up, "Silly boy, what are you talking about, it's so unkind!" ”
Chu Fan stood up straight, looked at Ding Yimo with calm and firm eyes, and said, "Brother-in-law has received his wishes, but this matter is already in his heart, and he can earn 30,000 yuan with 5,000 capital at his fingertips!" ”
Speaking of this, Chu Fan said with a smile, "This time I came to Zhangjiawan to buy two goods, tobacco and Ah Bian, and asked my brother-in-law to help with the match." ”
Ding Yimo saw that his words were conclusive, although he thought that this was just a child's praise for the sake of face, but he was still infected by his confidence, and patted him on the shoulder with a smile and said, "These two things are easy to handle, tobacco is in my warehouse, but this Ah Bian is rare...... How much do you want? ”
"Dengzhou Abian two taels of silver for one catty, tobacco five taels of silver for one hundred catties, according to this price, I plan to purchase two thousand catties of Abian and 12,000 catties of tobacco." Chu Fan's account has already been settled.
"The largest pharmacist here, Cihuitang, is familiar with me, so Ah Bian shouldn't be so expensive...... Brother Fan sit down for a while, and I'll go and investigate. Ding Yimo hurriedly went out after speaking.
As soon as the incense was burned, he came back and said to Chu Fan, "It's decided, sell it for 1 tael, 4 yuan and 1 catty, but his family only has 400 catties here in Zhangjiawan, and if you want 2,000 catties, you have to transfer it from other places." ”
"If it's this price, then you must buy more," Chu Fan gave Ding Yimo the bottom, "I came this time, and I brought a total of 4,000 taels of silver, and I was going to buy all the goods at the ratio of 100 catties of tobacco and 17 catties of Abian." ”
After a pause, he added, "Brother-in-law, I'm short on time, the sooner the better, it doesn't matter if the price is more expensive." ”
Ding Yimo frowned and thought for a while, "Then I'll go to a few other pharmacists to have a look." ”
After speaking, he looked at the clock in the flower hall, but it was already dinner time, "Eat first, and I'll help you ask tomorrow." ”
Chu Fan thanked him, and followed Ding Yimo to the side hall to eat without mentioning it.
Early the next morning, Ding Yimo hurriedly went out and asked all the pharmacists in Zhangjiawan.
Ah Bian is indeed still a rare thing, the entire Zhangjiawan has been cleaned, and it is only a thousand catties, if you want to make up enough for Chu Fan, you can only wait for Cihuitang to transfer from other places, so Chu Fan and the three of them have to stay in Ding's house for a few days.
With the goods settled, Chu Fan's heart fell to the ground, and he was bored at Ding's house that afternoon, so he called Liu Zhongwen to wander on the street.
Zhangjiawan is the confluence of the North Canal and the Tonghui River, and it is the location of Taicang, so it is very prosperous, both sides of the street are the shops of merchants from all over the world, and the street is full of rich merchants who are covered in silk and satin.
As soon as there are many rich people, the service industry is particularly developed, and the Vasher building abounds, and it is built magnificently next to each other, but the hardware is up, but the software is not very good - Chu Fan didn't take a few steps, and he was already pulled by the people in front of the building several times.
Liu Zhongwen was no better, he was tall and mighty, he was stunned by those flattering people, his face was flushed, and he threw Chu Fan away in embarrassment and ran away alone, so angry that Chu Fan caught up with him and kicked him hard, "You still said you want to protect me?" That's how you protect? ”
"What else can a few weak women do to you?" Liu Zhongwen sneered, "Could it be that I can still eat you?" ”
"Since you like it so much, what else are you going to run?" Chu Fan glared at Liu Zhongwen angrily and said.
The two of them were laughing, when they heard a scolding sound next to them, which made them lose their interest in laughing.
