Lin Chuan's mouth opened wide.

Lin Yubin, who was standing behind Lin Qingwan, couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Lin Chuan and the three of them came back to their senses and said sadly: "Auntie, you can't monopolize the market, so how can we work?" ”

"Who said I'm going to monopolize the market?" Lin Qingwan looked at them with disdain and said, "Everyone has the same price and the same quality, so I naturally won't monopolize the market." In the same way, you can't monopolize the market. ”

It also seized the Suzhou market, and now Hanmo Zhai has not put out straw paper, if it is put out, you see whether people go to the store to buy, or the streets are full of mobile stalls.

Lin Chuan was grief-stricken and said, "Do I want to be a hawker for the rest of my life?" ”

He told his cousins that he would make a lot of money while the straw paper was not coming out, and then rent a shop and open a bookstore, and then their family would be up.

They didn't take Hanmo into account at all.

Lin Yubin saw that his cousins were sad like that, and couldn't help but be happy: "How did my cousin forget, Hanmo Zhai is only in Suzhou, Yangzhou and Jiang." ”

Lin Chuan didn't react, and looked up at Lin Yubin in a daze.

Lin Yubin didn't expect him to be so stupid, he couldn't help but smile so much that his eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and reminded again: "In addition to these three places, you can seize the markets in other places." ”

Lin Chuan was stunned for a while, his eyes immediately lit up, and he looked at Lin Qingwan with blazing eyes, "Then my aunt won't rob me?" ”

"I have no plans to open more branches," Seeing that this kid's eyes were getting brighter and brighter, Lin Qingwan couldn't help but smile and said, "But there must be a lot of bookstores and Lin's bookstore that have entered the straw paper, and I won't refuse." ”

Lin Chuan's smile froze, then he lowered his head and thought for a while: "This is inevitable, when the cousins learn to become teachers in the future, there will definitely be more people who sit in this business." But I have an advantage over them because we are many steps ahead of them. ”

"Brother Lobby, Brother Santang, let's go to Hangzhou."

Lin Zhong and the others were obviously not as optimistic as him, and said with their shoulders on their shoulders: "Hangzhou is so far away, there is no travel money for us at home, and we go there where we are not familiar with life, and there is no one to rely on if we are bullied." ”

"How can those who have achieved great things look ahead and backward?" Lin Chuan said disapprovingly: "Didn't the ancestors come to Suzhou with great difficulty, but didn't they also create this foundation? And we are much stronger than our ancestors, so it's a big deal to go home. ”

Lin Zhong and the others didn't agree, and persuaded him: "Sixth brother, I think we can still pick up some burdens and sell some in Suzhou, haven't we calculated the profits, in fact, we can also make a lot of money." Even if you can't afford to buy a store in the end, life at home will be much better. ”

Lin Chuan pursed his lips, "Great opportunity, if I miss it this time, I don't know when I will wait next time, although it is more risky, I still want to go to Hangzhou." ”

The three cousins couldn't get along, and they were about to break off in front of Lin Qingwan.

Lin Qingwan sat on the pier and watched with her chin propped up, and when she saw that the three brothers were about to fight, she finally couldn't help but roll her eyes and said, "I can lend you the travel expenses." ”

The three brothers turned their heads with a "swish".

"But you have to give me money," Lin Qingwan added with a smile.

The Lin Zhong brothers slumped their shoulders, shook their heads at Lin Chuan, and said, "Let's not go to Hangzhou, in case we can't make money and pay off our debts." ”

Lin Chuan gritted his teeth, turned around and knelt in front of Lin Qingwan and said, "Auntie, they won't go, I'll go alone, how much are you willing to lend me?" ”

Lin Qingwan asked, "How much money do you want?" ”

Lin Chuan scratched his head and thought for a while, "Fifty taels? ”

"Yes!"

Lin Chuan immediately regretted that he had borrowed less, but when he said it, he spilled the water, and he asked, "How do you calculate the profit?" ”

Lin Qingwan was speechless, she really hadn't thought about this, but she thought about it and said: "Let's count it as a year, if you pay it back after one year, then I will charge you one tael, if you pay it back after two years, then I will charge you three taels, and after three years, then I will charge five taels, if you can't pay back fifty taels after three years, then you don't have to pay me back, just come to my house to work." ”

Lin Chuan burst into tears when he heard this, knowing that Lin Qingwan borrowed money entirely to support him, and immediately felt guilty about what he had done before.

He slammed his head on the ground and said, "Auntie, don't worry, I will live up to your expectations." ”

Lin Qingwan looked at their burdens, and Lin Chuan immediately said: "I'll pick it back, Hanmo Zhai is not on the shelves, we must not sell straw paper first." ”

"No need, this is my negligence, I didn't explain it to you before, since it has been made, let's pick it out and sell it," Lin Qingwan said: "I originally wanted to put it on the shelves again on the day of the Lantern Festival, but it is better to hit the day than to choose a day, and I will meet you when I go home today, which is obviously a good day." Then hit the shelves today. ”

Lin Qingwan winked at the three of them, "I'll send someone to the notice shop manager now, and they will prepare again, and it will not be put on the shelves until the afternoon." ”

Lin Chuan and the three of them were stunned for a moment before coming back to their senses, which meant that they could still take the lead for half a day.

Lin Chuan immediately went to pick up the burden and waved goodbye to her, "That aunt will return to the clan first, let's go to the city for a walk." ”

The Lin Zhong brothers also immediately went to carry the burden, looking at Lin Qingwan with blank eyes.

Lin Qingwan and Lin Yubin couldn't help laughing and got into the carriage and entered the village.

The three brothers watched the carriage move, and they could not wait for it to go far and hurried to the city gate.

The paper was light, and even if they were tied firmly, a load was very light, and the three young men walked like flies, and in less than two quarters of an hour they saw the north gate.

Lin Zhong had the kung fu to talk to Lin Chuan, "Sixth brother, do you really want to go to Hangzhou?" ”

Lin Chuan nodded vigorously, "I'm still young, I'm not willing to fight." ”

Lin Qingwan returned to the old mansion, sat down and drank a cup of tea, and estimated that the three of them had walked to the city gate before sending someone into the city to inform the shop manager to prepare to put straw paper on the shelves.

"There's no need to publicize it too much, just let people write a notice and put it at the door of the store," Lin Qingwan said: "It's not easy for the children, and let them be happy for two days." ”

"Auntie, cousin, can they compete for our family's Han Mo Zhai?"

"The quality of the paper is about the same, and the price is the same, so I often go to the bookstore and buy it in the bookstore, but they carry the burden through the streets and alleys, and the people who are too lazy to go to the bookstore naturally buy it nearby." Lin Qingwan smiled lightly: "In the future, the consumption of paper will be more and more large, so you don't have to worry about someone stealing business." ”

But it's impossible to be dominant in Suzhou City, so Lin Legend is better to leave Suzhou to seize the market or something, otherwise what can he do?

There are too many people who have learned the craft of papermaking, but I am afraid that not many people dare to go out like Lin Chuan. Most people gather in Suzhou, where the competition is too fierce for ambitious people to do so.

At this time, the three Lin Chuan brothers were walking on the streets of Suzhou, and their passion was immediately extinguished when they saw the people on the street, because they opened their mouths, but they still didn't shout.

Three brothers, you push me, I push you, in short, no one wants to be the first to speak, and finally Lin Chuan patted his thigh and said, "Let's go, let's go to the gate of Fuxue." ”

There are still students in the school, the three of them picked up the paper and waited at the door, and when the noon arrived, the students inside came out, and the three of them saw the brothers of the Lin clan from a distance, but the three of them just couldn't see it, and their eyes were aimed at the other students.

Lin Chuan saw that Brother Lin Zhong turned his head, so he could only grit his teeth and step forward and ask, "Do you want to buy paper?" ”

The person who was stopped was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked, "What paper?" ”

"Papyrus paper, which can be used to practice calligraphy, is similar to hemp paper."

A few people were about to shake their heads and say no, but Lin Chuan immediately added: "As long as eight dollars and a knife." ”

Several people immediately paused, their eyes widened, "How many?" ”

"Eight pennies and a knife, Tong Su is not bullied."

Several people looked at Lin Chuan suspiciously, "That paper can really write?" ”

Lin Chuan patted his chest and said, "My Lin family disciple never speaks falsely. ”

The suspicion on the faces of several people disappeared slightly, but they still asked, "Are you from Linjiazhuang?" ”

"Exactly," Lin Chuan led them to the burden and showed them the draft paper, "if you don't believe it, you can try one, its quality is no worse than hemp paper." ”

Now the lowest paper sold in Hanmo Zhai is 20 wen a knife, which is too cheap for 8 wen a knife, and several people opened the book basket and took out a pen to write in ink.

The ink passed through the paper, but the words were formed, although they were scattered, but the quality did look similar to that of hemp paper.

Several people were moved, but they still couldn't help asking, "Why is this straw paper so cheap?" ”

Lin Chuan said proudly: "This is the craftsman of my Lin Bookstore who spent a lot of effort to research, and because the cost is lower, we also sold it at a reduced price." Our patriarch's uncle and aunt said that the Lin family rarely did anything for the students in order to cultivate and study the heirloom, and now that it is easy to have an opportunity, they naturally can't bear to raise the price. ”

Several students couldn't help but admire: "Lin Gaoyi, I am grateful." ”

After that, he took out the money and said, "Then we will buy all these papers." ”

This paper is so cheap, buy it first.

The students who had been watching this side also rushed over and asked, "What is Brother Qian doing?" ”

"Huh? Paper, is this hemp paper, but the color doesn't look like it......"

Lin Chuan immediately introduced another piece of straw paper, and after the students took turns to try it, straw paper quickly replaced hemp paper in everyone's mind, because it was cheap.

Everyone immediately took out the money to buy, and the students in front of them couldn't say anything about Bao Yuan in front of their classmates, so they could only divide each other, and after dividing the three loads of paper, each student hugged a piece of paper when he left.

Before leaving, he was reluctant, "Do you still have any paper that you don't sell at home, we have been practicing a lot of calligraphy recently, so we need a lot of paper." ”

Lin Chuan and the others were very heartbroken, but they still shook their heads and said: "We don't have it at home for the time being, but you can go to Hanmo Zhai, which is our Lin family's bookstore, which sells it." ”

The straw needs to be soaked for about a month before making paper, and each of them was given three parts of the straw soaked to varying degrees when they left the school, which was not only a reward for them, but also for them to practice.

Except for this one, which can be made into paper immediately, the other two parts have to be soaked for about three more days, so they have no materials.

That's when they realized that it was really fanciful to seize the market or something, and they couldn't even supply a continuous supply of straw paper.

When the others dispersed, the three of them saw the clan brothers and clansmen standing aside, they opened their mouths slightly, and asked in a daze, "Lin Chuan?" You, how did you get here to sell paper? ”

Lin Chuan said not very sincerely: "This is a school here, and there are the most students, where can you sell if you don't sell it here?" ”

Lin You and the others frowned, "Does the patriarch know about this?" ”

"The patriarch doesn't know, but my aunt knows!" Lin Chuan looked at him provocatively, "What, do you have any opinions?" ”

Hearing that Lin Qingwan knew, Lin You didn't say anything anymore, but turned around and said, "That's good, I'm just worried that you are ignorant and causing trouble." ”
