Chapter 148: Profiteers

Pei Yan and the others did not enter the house, but just stood at the door with a frown.

After Ning Pengpeng and Ning Laosan entered, they sat on the small bench taken out by this family.

After a closer look at the house, I found that there were many fishing nets hanging on the walls of the stone house.

The dark-skinned and thin-skinned woman who had given herself the small bench just now must have been sitting on the small bench mending fishing nets before they came.

Another man with some gray hair should be the head of the family.

The two copper coins that Wison gave just now were stuffed into him.

In addition to the fishing nets, there are all kinds of dried fish drying outside the house, so the whole house smells of salted fish.

The man carefully poured two bowls of water and handed them to Ning Pengpeng, Ning Pengpeng took it, but he didn't drink it, put it aside directly, and then gossiped with the man.

"Uncle, you have so many dried fish here, why don't you transport it to Mingzhou Mansion to sell it?"

Although it shows that the price of dried fish in the state capital is not very high, it is several times higher than in Nanyue Province.

These fishermen, as long as they dry the fish they catch and transport them to Mingzhou Mansion to sell, they can just mix food and clothing!

But now, the man was still wearing two burlap clothes.

The woman's body is a single dress that has been mended and mended, and in such a cold weather, if she is not frozen to death, she will also get frostbite!

"You don't know, we only fish, where will we do business.

Moreover, where is the Mingzhou Mansion that the nobles said, the old man doesn't know!

My eyes were black, and I didn't know where I was going, how I did what the nobles said they were talking about. ”

The man replied cautiously with his back bent.

Ning Pengpeng's heart was blocked when he heard this, and then he remembered that he took it for granted.

I have read books and broadened my horizons, so I naturally know the truth that people move to live and trees move to death.

But these fishermen, whose ancestors have been here for generations, don't know a single big word.

I'm afraid they are full of fear of the outside world, after all, after going out, it is not necessarily that the business will go smoothly, and it is more likely that these fishermen are deceived and sold into slavery.

As for why local officials pretend not to see the fishermen's current situation, a large part of the reason is that they don't want the fishermen to go out.

After all, fools are easy to manage.

Ning Pengpeng was silent for a while, and then asked again.

"Uncle, if I want to collect a large number of oysters from your stones, are you willing?"

"What? Sea...... Oysters? Although that thing can be eaten, it is so much meat that it is difficult to open the shell.

Nobleman, you still have to collect a lot of money, aren't you joking? ”

When the male owner heard Ning Pengpeng's words, he looked incredulous.

"I really want to collect this oyster, if my father-in-law's family is free these days, I might as well go and pry some more."

After Ning Pengpeng kindly admonished, she got up and went outside the house to find Pei Yan, she really couldn't stand the smell of salted fish in this room.

She had to discuss a charter with Pei Yan, otherwise she would have to calculate how much should be given to pry this oyster down.

When Ning Pengpeng went out, he happened to see Pei Yan with his hands behind his back, looking into the distance on the sea.

Hearing the footsteps, Pei Yan turned sideways and glanced at Ning Pengpeng.

"Then what kind of oysters have been asked to be fetched, can you say now what can this thing do?"

Ning Peng cleared his throat and said.

"This time, is the Pei Dongjia interested in joining this business?"

"Naturally interested, otherwise, do you think I really came to play with you to this Nanyue Mansion?

It's just that, this time, doesn't Mrs. Ning sell her son directly? ”

Pei Yan raised his eyebrows and asked with some curiosity.

"Pei Dongjia, the old woman feels that the sincerity given by the old woman before should be enough.

Many things can be said to be given to Pei Dong's family for free.

Moreover, Pei Dongjia said it in person before, and the two sides cooperated.

Since it is a cooperation between the two sides, how can there be any reason to sell the prescription in your hands? ”

Hearing what Ning Peng Peng said in a deep voice, Pei Yan smiled and nodded.

"That's exactly what I said, don't worry!

The gentleman is hard to chase after a word, since it is cooperation, then Mrs. Ning should also be open and honest about what this oyster is used for, right? ”

Since Pei Dongjia said so, the old woman naturally would not doubt Pei Dongjia's words.

However, since it is cooperation, then we should clearly write the matter of how to cooperate and how we both occupy the shares, and sign and draw the pledge, don't you say? ”

"That makes sense, Bai Zhu, bring pen and ink."

Bai Zhu, who was originally standing in the distance watching the horses, heard what the young master said loudly, and immediately took a burden from his horse, took pen, ink and paper from it, and sent it over.

Without Pei Yan's instructions, he knelt down on one knee directly, bending over to expose his back, so that Pei Yan could put the paper on his back and write.

"Since this business is said to be a cooperation, Mrs. Ning, although you have a plan, you have to rely on me to receive, deliver, sell, and have relationships everywhere.

So, how about a nineteen split? ”

"Pei Dongjia is really joking, although you have to come to everything else, but without me, even if you have these, what's the use?

Since it is cooperation, it is naturally fair to be five-five. ”

When Ning Pengpeng heard Pei Yan's words, she directly complained in her heart, profiteer!

"Five-five is absolutely impossible, just this Nanyue Mansion, if you want people to come in and gain a firm foothold, you have to spend a lot of silver.

If it is five or five, then is Mrs. Ning willing to bear half of this silver? ”

Pei Yan raised his eyelids directly and refused coldly.

He's in business, not charity.

Since you want to do business, you naturally have to make a profit to do it.

He can only make fifty percent of the profit, and he doesn't know how much silver and mind to invest, no matter how he thinks about it, he doesn't think it's worth it.

When Ning Pengpeng heard Pei Yan's words, she suddenly choked, and what he said did make sense.

First of all, I don't have any money, and secondly, I don't have any hands.

With these two things alone, it is normal for Pei Yan not to agree to five or five.

However, the price is all over the place, and the money is repaid on the spot!

Ning Pengpeng gritted his teeth and replied with a painful heart.

"Pei Dongjia didn't pour salt into the wound in my heart, but what Pei Dongjia said is not unreasonable, and I don't want to take advantage of you.

So be it, four-six, I'm four, you're six.

The 10% I gave out is considered the cost of your trip to this Nanyue Mansion, which should be about the same, right? ”

Pei Yan listened, but smiled and continued to shake his head.

"Whether this business can be done or not, whether it is good or not, is another story!

Old Madam Ning, you only need to come up with a recipe first, even if you don't make money, you won't lose anything.

But I'm different, how to calculate the loss of so much silver, the cost of dotting and labor?

"Walking on the Stars"

I can't let this loss be borne by myself, but I won't benefit at all, right? ”
