Chapter 8 The first huge sum
Big business?
An Zhaoran and Gonggong Hai were both stunned, looking at Li Changan stupidly, confused.
What big business can the City Lord's Mansion have, how come they don't know?
Xiao Yue'er didn't have the slightest intention of underestimating, and said seriously: "I want to hear about it." ”
"Come with me."
Li Changan took the lead in walking towards the backyard, followed by the other three.
Soon, they came to a courtyard with a very ordinary layout.
Xiao Yue'er looked around and said suspiciously: "Forgive the little girl for being stupid, I don't know what the city lord means by business?" ”
"You'll find out right away."
Li Changan asked An Zhaoran to fetch a bucket of water, and asked Gonggong Hai to fetch half a bucket of water, and then asked them to pour the bucket of water into the wooden basin, and the other half of the bucket of water was placed in the wooden basin.
Then, he took out a few pieces of saltpeter and threw them directly into the wooden basin.
These saltpeters were specially transported by Li Changan, and they were originally used for experiments for themselves, but since Xiao Yue'er came, it was just right for her to be a witness together.
"God bless, it must be a one-time success, if it doesn't succeed, then the city lord will be embarrassed."
Although Li Changan was sure that saltpeter could make ice, it was the first time he tried it, and he had no bottom in his heart.
An Zhaoran and the three of them saw this scene inexplicably, and they didn't find anything else except seeing saltpeter dissolved in the wooden basin.
What kind of business is this?
Soon, however, their eyes widened and they stared at the half bucket of water.
Saw......
The surface of the half bucket of water has gradually condensed with a layer of frost, and the speed of freezing is still accelerating!
They froze in disbelief, watching as the half bucket of water actually condensed into ice!
"This, this...... Is this sorcery? ”
An Zhaoran's mouth opened into an "O" shape, looking dull and quite cute.
In the Shenwu Continent, there are many species, there are creatures that can swallow water and fire, and there are creatures that can manipulate thunder, only human warriors can compete with it, but the martial arts are called Xuanli, which is essentially different from the flame and thunder, so the ability to manipulate the power of the elements is collectively called demonism.
Only monsters can do it.
Another meaning of An Zhaoran's words is that you are not human.
"It's not sorcery, it's science, stupid!"
Li Changan looked at An Zhaoran's stunned appearance, and couldn't help but reach out and pinch her little face, which was unexpectedly easy to pinch and fleshy.
The next moment-
An Zhaoran frowned slightly, grabbed Li Changan's hand and twisted it violently.
"Whew, it's broken, it's really broken, good sister is lighter, gentle, awkward......"
"Humph!"
An Zhaoran let go of Li Changan with a cold snort, patted the place that had just been pinched by him, and had a strange feeling.
Li Changan rubbed his battered arm and said to Xiao Yue'er, "What does Miss Xiao think of my ice-making method?" ”
Xiao Yue'er took a deep breath and said sincerely: "Immeasurable, priceless treasure!" ”
She looked at Li Changan, her beautiful eyes full of shock.
As a business genius, she instantly thought of the profits that the ice-making method could bring, and she was absolutely worthy of the word priceless!
At present, there is only one way to resist the heat in the whole continent, and that is to store ice in the cellar, but this cost is extremely high, and the consumption is very fast, and it can't last long, resulting in the annual ice cubes are a luxury and the price remains high.
And Li Changan's method can actually make ice cubes in summer, and the market for it is too big, and not only can ice cubes be used to cool down, but also ice cubes can be used to make ice food, the potential is too terrifying.
At this moment, she suddenly felt extremely lucky, being able to befriend the city lord was definitely the most correct choice in her life!
Not to mention Xiao Yue'er, even the two business laymen, Gonggong Hai and An Zhaoran, quickly came up with a huge market for ice cubes. looked at Li Changan's brilliance.
Li Changan continued to ask: "I will sell you this method, how much money are you going to pay?" ”
Xiao Yue'er had already memorized the ice-making process just now, which could be described as very simple, but she didn't dare to make a small calculation, but quoted an extremely pertinent price, "Ten thousand taels!" ”
One hundred wen is one tael, for the refugees in the border city, it is enough for a family of three to drink porridge for seven days, that is to say, 10,000 taels is enough for the border city to give porridge for more than 70 days!
"Deal."
Li Changan smiled and stretched out his hand, "I believe that Miss Xiao and I will cooperate again soon." ”
But the next moment, he reacted, shaking hands was the etiquette of the previous life, this world is not happy to shake hands, just about to take his hand back, he didn't expect Xiao Yue'er to generously stretch out her hand and shake Li Changan, and said with a smile: "Thank you Lord City Lord for giving the people and girls the opportunity to cooperate." ”
……
After Xiao Yue'er left, An Zhaoran couldn't help but say, "Hey, are you stupid, why do you want to sell such a good way to make money?" ”
This question also asked Hai Gonggong's doubts.
Ice making is a huge profit, isn't it fragrant to make your own money?
"My silly sister, my brother will teach you a lesson today."
Li Changan glanced at her, casually moved a stool and sat next to the half bucket of ice cubes that had just been made, feeling the cool comfort, and then said: "First, the border city is poor, there are too few people who can afford to buy ice at present, there is no point in making ice, and our city lord's mansion has no ability to transport it to other cities for sale for the time being, so it cannot be realized." ”
"Second, the method of making ice is too simple, there is no technical content at all, and it will not take long for the relationship between saltpeter mining and ice making to be discovered by other big families, we can only take a lead, but we can't monopolize it, or a hammer deal."
"Third, saltpeter can't be avoided in ice-making, and our border city is rich in saltpeter, and saltpeter belongs to the city lord's mansion, so I told Xiao Yue'er that we will cooperate again soon, because she will definitely come to buy saltpeter ore from us again, so we are standing at the top of the supply chain, and we will make sure we don't lose money."
"Fourth, the City Lord's Mansion is in dire need of money."
Listening to Li Changan's words, An Zhaoran and Gonggong Hai's heads felt buzzing, and they were shocked.
An Zhaoran was shocked: "You...... You are so treacherous! ”
Gonggong Hai fell to his knees with a puff, looked up to the sky and cried bitterly, "The city lord has become smarter, thank God for splitting the city lord to the ground, the sky has eyes!" ”
Li Changan: "......"
If you two can't speak, don't talk.
Then, he looked at An Zhaoran playfully, and said with a smile: "Zhaoran, do you remember the bet we made?" ”
Swish!
An Zhaoran's face flushed, and her eyes suddenly became erratic.
She didn't expect the slap in the face to come so quickly, just after two days of betting, Li Changan really found a way to make a lot of money, and it was a real huge amount of money, which was simply amazing.
Li Changan sighed, "Hey, that's it, if you don't want to admit it, forget it." ”
"Who said I don't admit it, you listen to me, I'm going to call it."
An Zhaoran squirmed for a long time, and finally whispered, "Brother......"
"Alas, good sister, don't do anything to my brother in the future."
Li Changan smiled and stretched out his hand and pinched An Zhaoran's little face again.
An Zhaoran raised his eyebrows, and without hesitation, he grabbed Li Changan's hand and twisted it again.
"Shhh......h Stop it! I can't twist it, it's really going to break......"
