Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Yun Family Salt Company
When the salt store was opened in Liangcheng in Jingnan, Bai Jin did not plan to make money at the beginning, the road from Hailing to Liangcheng is very long, and the cost of transporting salt requires a lot, coupled with the low price of salt, there is no profit at all.
She just wants the Yun family's salt store to take root in Jingnan first, if she can stabilize the salt store in the capital, it will be much more convenient to turn around and infiltrate the Yun family's salt store into Jingnan City.
She told Ning Tonghua about her previous plans, and Ning Tonghua raised her eyebrows and said, "When did you not take care of the Yun family's account books?" ”
"At the end of last year," Bai Jin replied simply, "Since I contracted the wind cold, it didn't take a few days for Yun Heliang to ask Yun Heliang to go back, and it should be in charge of the Li family." ”
Ning Tonghua's slender fingers tapped the table and said, "But your Yun family's salt shop began to expand after two years in Jingnan, because the Liu family's fortune was faster than the Yun family's, so it lost a lot of silver." ”
This is strange, not only did she not hear Yun Heliang mention it, but she didn't even see it in the account book.
The ledger taken from Jingnan is fake? That Yun Wangu was so bold to do such a thing under the noses of the Yun family.
But when she thought about it, it didn't seem right, not to mention whether he had the courage or not, that is, if he had the courage and didn't have the silver, he should have lost money for two years in a row, so how could he still arch to Jingnan City.
There is only one possibility, expanding in Jingnan is probably the idea of Yun Heliang and the Li family, these two people directly bypassed her, and even gave her a fake account book in order not to make her suspicious.
Bai Jin sneered, at that time, she did her best for the Yun family, these two people were good, and they didn't hesitate to do these loss-making deals in order to hide it from her. She was now beginning to wonder how many of the ledgers that had been sent to her in the last two years were genuine.
It seems that the Yun family has been planning to get rid of him for a long time, maybe even if the county lord of Guangping can't come, she will still die.
Although she had known it for a long time, saying it from Ning Tonghua's mouth made her completely disillusioned with the last trace of her feelings for the Yun family.
"Since you have lost money, the Yun family still insists on developing in Jingnan City?" Bai Jin asked calmly.
Ning Tonghua said with a smile: "What I want to say now is this, the Yun family can't say that it is going to Jingnan City to develop, the Yun family's power is only in Liangcheng in Jingnan, and there are no several cities along the way, and they all say that it is only because there is no salt store in Anping Town, so the Yun family's salt store will be opened there." ”
So that's the case, Bai Jin thought about it and laughed out loud: "I understand what you mean." ”
I don't know who came up with this idea, she just started to think about it, the Yun family's move was not wrong, and the idea was similar to her setting up a salt mill in Liangcheng, and she also occupied a stronghold first.
But this is Jingnan, not the Central Plains, the Yun family dared to set up a salt store in Liangcheng before because there are Yun family's salt shops all the way from Hailing to Jingnan, even if the road is far away, it doesn't matter, and there can be supplies along the way. However, from Liangcheng to Jingnan City, there are two cities in between, and if you are not careful, there will be a shortage of salt.
Since Ning Tonghua said that he wanted to make money from the Yun family, it was obvious that there was a shortage of salt in the salt shop in Anping Town.
However, Ning Tonghua did not say that the shortage of salt in the Yunjia Salt Mill was because of him.
"Are you planning to divide the salt into two batches, one to sell the small salt shop, and the other to sell the Yun family's salt shop?" Bai Jin asked.
Ning Tonghua looked at her appreciatively and said, "Yes, my brain is still spinning quite fast." ”
As he spoke, he reached out and touched her head as he had done a long time ago, but his hand had just reached out and he pursed his lips and withdrew his hand before it touched her head.
Just when Bai Jin looked up, he saw that her eyes were sparkling like autumn water: "What's wrong?" ”
"It's fine." With some embarrassment, he put his hand into his sleeve and said lightly, "It's just that my hands are a little stiff after sitting for a long time." ”
What kind of strange reason is this, Bai Jin was busy thinking about the matter of the Yun family's salt store and didn't think much about what Ning Tonghua was going to do.
Ning Tonghua didn't know what he was thinking.
Two hours later, the carriage arrived in Anping Town on time, it was already noon, the two went to the stall on the side to eat some at will, and by the way, it was decided that Ning Tonghua would go to the small salt store to buy some salt, and Bai Jin would sell most of it to the Yun family.
"Do you want me to come this time?" Ning Tonghua proposed, "Are you still pretending to be my maid?" ”
Bai Jin stuffed a piece of mung bean cake into his mouth and said, "No need, but if you want to be my maid, I can still consider it." ”
Ning Tonghua smiled slightly, Bai Jin came out in men's clothes today, so he was just joking.
After eating, the two went their separate ways, and Ning Tonghua asked her to take the upper circle
Bai Jin went straight to the Yun family's salt shop, the Yun family's salt shop opened a good location, just at the intersection of the town's official road, and the land rent here must be a lot.
With a smile in her heart, she stepped into the store, only to see the bookkeeper sitting behind the counter frowning and fiddling with the abacus.
Bai Jin knocked on the table and said to the shopkeeper: "Is the shopkeeper of your store there?" ”
"Go, go," the shopkeeper was in a bad mood, even if he looked at her decent robe, he didn't want to take care of her, "Our shopkeeper is so empty, can you see it if you want to?" ”
Bai Jin was not annoyed, leaned against the counter and said: "I have thousands of catties of salt here, I don't know if your shopkeeper is interested, if the shopkeeper is really so busy, then I won't delay you in trading." ”
"How many pounds of salt do you have?"
As soon as he heard the salt, not only the shopkeeper but also the bookkeeper who was preoccupied with the back also raised his head.
"Nature." Bai Jin twisted his hair and said, "Why else did I come?" ”
"You wait a while, I'll go and ask the shopkeeper right away." Recently, there has been a shortage of salt in the salt store, and the salt in Liangcheng doesn't know when it will be shipped over, although the store is open but it can't sell any salt, the shopkeeper has been in arrears for two months, how can she not quickly tell the shopkeeper when she hears that she has salt?
As soon as Xiao Er entered the shop, Bai Jin heard hurried footsteps inside, and the curtain behind the counter was lifted, revealing a somewhat familiar face.
Almost everyone in the Yun family, Bai Jin, has seen it, she has always had a good memory, almost everyone she has seen can remember, she glanced at the shopkeeper and knew who this person was.
Yun Wangu's sister-in-law, Yun Ze, was the year when Yun Wangu was going to Jingnan four years ago, and Yun Wangu took him to visit him once during the Chinese New Year.
I had long heard that Yun Ze was a straw bag in business, and Yun Wangu took him to Jingnan in order to cultivate his ability.
Yun Wangu's idea is that there is no problem, but the only regret is that Yun Wangu is not necessarily very shrewd in business, and he belongs to a big straw bag.
Big bales with small bales?
Bai Jin hooked the corners of her mouth, she wanted to see what Yun Ze had learned in the past few years.
