Chapter 33: The Jade Mine

"How sure are you?"

Mr. Accounts thought that the young master had to laugh at this little girl for talking about dreams, but the young master meant that he really followed her?

"Ten percent!"

"Okay, I'll pass the book to the major merchants tomorrow, and I'll do as she says."

"Young Master, this..."

"Didn't you hear?"

"Yes."

In response, there was a lot of careful thinking in his heart, thinking about what the young master was doing, and he actually listened to the words of a female doll, did the Wen family smash it in the hands of the young master?

When he came out of the shop, the smugness on Su Yan's face almost didn't say on his face - I am an ordinary little genius who makes money.

"You... Are you really 100% sure? ”

Just now, he still had some confidence in Su Yan, and when he saw Su Yan's tail about to rise to the sky, he couldn't help but feel a little weak, to be honest, for Su Yan's method, he just felt that there was a practical reason, so he might as well try it first.

But it has always been that those who can achieve great things are calm.

Su Yan ......

"Don't worry, with my hard work in business administration for more than three years, there is no problem in dealing with these merchants."

"Business administration? Which private school teaches these? ”

"Oh, it's... I heard it when I was a kid when I went to crouch in the corner. ”

"Didn't you work as a maid in the house when you were a child?"

"It's just... I heard the gentleman who told the young lady mention that my young lady likes to do business. ”

Afraid that if Wen Ran asked again, her little head would not be able to lie, so she hurriedly pulled Wen Ran and walked to the restaurant.

On the second day, Su Yan rarely got up early in the morning and was about to go to the jade mine with Wen Ran.

"What are you doing there?"

There were doubts on his lips, but his feet did not stop, and after calling the groom, he and Su Yan got into the carriage.

"What percentage of the jade mined every year is sold?"

"Thirty percent."

Only 30 percent?

Su Yan originally thought, how can there be a fifty or sixty percent, but he didn't expect that the ancient skills were so underdeveloped, and the utilization rate was too low.

"What about the scrap?"

"Abandon it."

The reason why their Wen family was able to make a fortune from jade was not because they had the richest and best jade mines in the world, but also because they were extremely strict with the materials used in jade, and those with the slightest flaws would not be selected as base materials.

"Abandoned?"

It's really rich.

Su Yan knew that a century-old brand like the Wen family was naturally very particular about the materials, but being exquisite did not mean that it would be a waste of white silver.

"Why don't you sell these jade materials to small merchants?"

Isn't this also a way to make money?

"But whoever passes through our hands is the jade of the Wen family, and no matter who sells it, outsiders will only recognize our Wen family. These jades are equivalent to smashing their own signboards. ”

Once the flawed jade material is sold, it is inevitable that some merchants will use shoddy jade to say that the jade ornaments made of inferior materials are the goods of the Wen family, and in the long run, the Wen family's golden signboard will be discredited by themselves.

For a hundred years, everyone values this signboard the most, and if it falls, it will be difficult to stand it up again.

When he arrived at the place, Su Yan really saw what it was to be the richest man in martial arts.

This jade mine occupies an entire mountain, and according to Wen Ran, this is only one of them.

Is this the legend, I knew you were rich, but I didn't expect you to be so rich?

If it weren't for Wen Ran's reminder on the side, Su Yan would almost have shed a sigh in front of the foreman.

"Young Master."

The foreman glanced at the young master, and then at the petite and lovely Su Yan, and didn't understand why the young master had already returned to Liangzhou, why did he suddenly run back again?

"You're the foreman of this area?"

Su Yan looked at it, he was in his forties, his skin was tanned, and his body bones looked very strong because of his perennial labor, he was dressed as a mountain farmer in a costume drama, and he should be an honest man.

"Yes, all the workers under my hands are under my control."

"How many are locals?"

"More than half of them are."

"Who made their home here?"

"That's a lot, but I haven't counted it."

The foreman glanced at the young master, and when he saw the young master holding his hands behind his back, his eyes fell on the female doll, and he didn't know what the female doll was about, so he was more respectful when he replied.

"Do you have anyone guarding the mines at night?"

"Naturally, we have two people on guard every night, and I live not far from this mine, and if something happens, someone can call me."

"You're guarding the mines, but you're in the same class as locals and locals, and you're in the same class as outsiders?"

"yes, we get along better with each other."

"Alright, you go down."

The foreman was confused, thinking that he was going to ask some other questions, but there were only a few, so he could only nod his head and go to the mine, his mind full of doubts.

"Did you ask what you wanted?"

Even Wen Ran didn't know what Su Yan was going to ask.

"Not yet, I'd like to ask two local workers."

"Then why don't you let the foreman call?"

"Have you ever heard of a private interview with Weifu?"

A private interview with Weifu? She is a little maid and knows a lot.

Wen Ran looked at Su Yan's gaze, no longer as simple as before, but looked at it a little more, as if he had reacquainted Su Yan.

"You wait here for me, I'll go find out some news."

Without waiting for Wen Ran to stop him, Su Yan was like a little monkey, jumping and running away.

The mine is full of workers, and she is a girl, and she doesn't know how to avoid suspicion.

Wen Ran knew that he couldn't persuade Su Yan, so he simply went to the pavilion halfway up the mountain and waited for the little monkey to come back by himself.

It's just that he waited for a long time and waited for a "mud monkey", "What's wrong with you?" ”

Su Yan laughed nonchalantly, his eyes were as bright as stars, "Sure enough, as I expected." ”

"What did you expect?"

Su Yan's little dirty hands directly picked up the tea cup on the table and began to drink.

"Mine."

But the little mud monkey waved his hand indifferently, but he coughed lightly in embarrassment.

"The materials you didn't sell to those merchants were all stolen by those workers and sold."

"It's impossible, the scrap is all ordered by the foreman and then pulled to burn."

The little mud monkey sat on the stone pier with a small flower face and smiled proudly, "Don't believe it, I ran a mountain fast to find such a scrap for you." ”

Lying in the dirty hands were some leftovers, which looked discarded at first glance, but there were no signs of being burned.

And the color of these leftovers is not too bad, but there are ice patterns in them, and the value is greatly reduced.

Wen Ran would come here several times a year, so whether this jade came out of their mine or not, he knew at a glance that it was indeed from this mine.

"What are you doing?"

Su Yan grabbed the warmth of the fierce and was about to go to Xingshi to ask about the crime.

"What's the hurry, if you go now, not only will you not be able to ask something, but it will backfire."

"So you have a way?"

"Nature."

Su Yan's round eyes slipped, and he was very shrewd.
