Sanniang frowned slightly, looking at Jiugong, hoping that he could give a reasonable explanation.

After all, Sanniang is still very familiar with the situation of the wine store. What do two men do with so much grain?

Jiu Gong said: "As for the use, let him explain it to Sanniang." As he spoke, Jiugong had already pushed Wang Dong to the front, and for a while, several glances noticed Wang Dong's body.

Although Wang Dong was prepared, he was still a little nervous, looked at Sanniang and said, "Actually, I didn't ask Jiugong and Jiugong for these things for themselves. ”

"Not for yourself?"

Wang Dong nodded: "Yes, I don't know if Sanniang remembers that three days ago, Sanniang sold me flour?" ”

Sanniang pondered for a moment and asked, "Your so-called fritters, succeeded?" ”

Jiugong smiled: "Sanniang, don't you know, not only did you succeed, but you also made a fortune in the morning market today." ”

Quan Bo was on the side, listening a little inexplicably: "What morning market?" What fritters? ”

Sanniang, as the man of the year in Jinyang City, will receive a lot of attention when entering and leaving. At this moment, several people stood in front of the grain store and talked, which couldn't help but attract passers-by and began to watch.

Seeing that it was difficult to explain this matter for a while, Sanniang Wang Mengyao said, "Let's talk about it in the house." ”

So, Sanniang and Quanbo, who originally planned to go to the warehouse, turned to walk in the direction of the living room with Jiugong and Wang Dong.

I have to say that Sanniang is an "approachable" leader. If it were someone else, how would you listen to a subordinate rambling on the sidelines? As Jiugong said, she is not really a businessman.

When everyone came to the living room, Sanniang motioned for everyone to sit down, and then asked Jiugong and Wang Dong, "What do you want?" ”

Wang Dong got up from his seat, first saluted respectfully, looked at Meng Yao and said: "Sanniang, in the past three years, the Tang Dynasty has been plagued continuously, and the price of food has skyrocketed, especially the flour grain, which is even more difficult to find. ”

Meng Yao nodded: "Everyone in the world knows about this matter. ”

"But the people of Jinyang don't know that Sanniang is in charge of the grain store in the city, and she has tried her best to control the price of grain."

Quan Bo said: "Sanniang saw that the people's lives were already so difficult, and she couldn't bear to increase the price of food, hoping to reduce the burden of the people of Jinyang." ”

"But Sanniang has ever thought that blindly suppressing food prices will not only drop the income of the royal government, but also be even worse for the people." Wang Dong said.

"You kid, what nonsense! even said that Sanniang does not raise food prices, which is not good for the people? ! Quan Bo looked at Wang Dong, blew his beard and glared, and had the intention of teaching him a lesson.

On the contrary, it was Sanniang, who still looked calm, looked at Wang Dong, who was serious here, and said, "Uncle Quan, listen to him finish his words first." ”

"Sanniang, he is clearly a strong word."

Wang Dong raised his voice and said, "I'm not unfounded and forceful. ”

"Well, you kid should tell me, why is it bad for the people?"

Wang Dongdao glanced at Uncle Quan and said, "I heard Jiugong say that the amount of flour that the head office has transferred to the branch in the past few months has become less and less, I don't know if there is such a thing?" ”

"How's that going?" Quan Bo glared at Wang Dong, as if to say, "What's all the fuss about?"

Wang Dong turned his gaze to Meng Yao and said, "Uncle Quan doesn't think so, but Sanniang, I think you should be able to guess the reason." ”

"What reason?! If you have something to say, don't be here to show off. ”

Wang Dong smiled: "Then I will be blunt." Turning around, he glanced at Jiugong over there, and saw Jiugong looking at him nervously.

"Actually, Sanniang should understand that the fundamental reason why the Wang family head office allocates less and less rice grain to the Jinyang branch is because the grain sold by the Jinyang branch makes a profit that is far inferior to other branches, I don't know if what Wang Dong said is correct?"

"That's right." Sanniang nodded.

Wang Dong continued: "Since the profit is not as good as that of other branches, the people in the head office will naturally not do their best to support the Jinyang branch, so the food allocated will be less and less. ”

Although Sanniang expressed anger at the head office's approach, it was a fact. As Wang Dong said, she disobeyed the words of Wang Funan, the head of the Wang family, and insisted on refusing to increase the price of grain, and as a result, the grain sold in the Jinyang grain store became less and less.

However, what Wang Dong said is true. But Meng Yao never figured out what this had to do with him using so much flour.

Wang Dong seemed to see Sanniang's doubts, and immediately said: "On the contrary, if the Jinyang branch under Sanniang is more profitable than other branches, will the head office do its best to ensure the supply of Jinyang branch first?" ”

"Nonsense." Quan Bo scoffed, "This question, even fools can think of it, you kid, let's talk about it, but what does this have to do with you?" ”

Wang Dong said confidently: "Of course it matters. After a pause, Wang Dong turned his gaze to Meng Yao and said very seriously, "Because, I have a way to make the net profit of the grain store at least double!" ”

"Double?" After listening to Wang Dong's "big words", even Sanniang's expression changed.

Quan Bo was naturally very disdainful of Wang Dong's words, and said: "I thought you had any good way, it's not like other branches, you want us to raise the price of grain." ”

"No, no." Wang Dong shook his head, "My method will not increase the price of grain in the slightest." ”

"If you don't raise food prices, you can double your profits?" Sanniang finally couldn't hold back the doubts in her heart, stood up, and asked, "What can you do, hurry up and listen to it." ”

"Sanniang, don't you really believe that he has any good way to be a yellow-haired boy, right?"

Sanniang looked at Wang Dong and said, "Don't worry, Uncle Quan, listen to him first, it's okay." ”

"Thank you, Sanniang." Wang Dong clasped his fists and saluted again, and then continued, "Merchants put profit first, but for commodities, the profit of primary products is very low, and the more in-depth processing, the greater the profit earned. ”

"Wait." Sanniang stopped Wang Dong and said, "What is a primary product?" ”

Wang Dong was stunned for a moment, and woke up to realize that his thinking did not belong to this era, and his theory seemed to be somewhat beyond the cognition of this era for the agricultural economy-based Datang. But it is no wonder that even in twentieth-century China, the sale of primary products was very common.

So, Wang Dong patiently explained: "Primary commodities are also called primitive commodities. Refers to products that have not been processed or slightly processed due to sales habits, such as chestnut rice, flour, ore, etc. ”

Regarding Wang Dong's explanation, Sanniang was very modest, and listened carefully to Wang Dong's "novel theory" on the side.
