Chapter 141: Take a step back and open the sky

"What are you laughing at?" Jin Zhuang frowned, it was obvious that he couldn't accept Gu Lan's reaction.

In his eyes, 10,000 taels of silver is definitely not a small amount, just with a small family like Gu Lan who lives in a corner and is not famous, he can't earn this amount for ten or eight years!

100,000 taels, you can buy the entire Lishi Town from the county order!

Can't even take Gu Lan with this?

Gu Lan shook her head helplessly, she said, even if it is the caravan of the family, it is just another short-sighted person.

"Ten thousand taels, gold," Gu Lan stretched out a finger.

Before she finished speaking, Jin Zhuang immediately slapped the table and stood up, he shouted: "Impossible, absolutely impossible, 10,000 taels of gold?" Do you know how much that is? You're delusional! Is this your family's cooperative attitude? Send a woman to tease me? ”

Jin Zhuang was in a hurry, and he even began to slander Gu Lan's identity.

But when he looked around the room and looked at the people in the room, he found that they were all extremely calm, even Gu Lan just looked at him with his arms crossed.

It seems that he is the clown who jumps the beam.

Jin Zhuang took a deep breath, he lost his grace and lost the face of the Jin family.

Gu Lan turned the teacup for a long time, and she said unhurriedly: "Mr. Jin, don't worry, I haven't finished talking yet." ”

"I want to say that even if you give 10,000 taels of gold and want to cooperate with us like this, we are not willing."

10,000 taels of gold are not willing to cooperate? Jin Zhuang really began to feel ridiculous, and he looked at Gu Lan suspiciously, wanting to know what kind of confidence she had to say such things.

"After all, you are frogs at the bottom of the well, only staying in Lishi Town, I don't know that the outside world is sinister, our Jin family is the head and face of Jingguo, I am willing to talk to you......"

"I know that Mr. Jin can find business opportunities here, and he is definitely a qualified businessman."

Gu Lan stopped him and praised Jin Zhuang.

Jin Zhuang is powerful and powerful, she still doesn't want to get such a family caravan, but let her sell the papermaking method to the Jin family?

What a joke.

For Gu Lan, the papermaking method is a key part of her plan to overthrow the old world and create a new paradise.

If the papermaking method was sold to the family for this ten thousand taels, Gu Lan could almost imagine what would happen.

Paper, or knowledge, will only be one of the many treasures in the Maison's warehouse, treasured by others, rather than appearing in thousands of homes and becoming a regular item at their fingertips.

Gu Lan didn't want this to happen.

When Li Chong was asked to sell paper before, attracting Li Yang and Yan Shizhen, many forces in Lishi Town had already come to the door and wanted to buy papermaking methods, but Gu Lan would not pay attention to their rude requests at all.

Some people even want to use force, jokes, I really think that Xiaolongkan's training is vegetarian!

Every adult laborer in the village can be regarded as a necessary army in wartime, and even those thugs of the family have to tremble three times when they use weapons!

Otherwise, why did Gu Lan build the village's defenses in the first place!

Isn't it just to prevent these people's crooked ways?

If you want to get ahead here, you can't just rely on brains, you have to be ruthless.

Gu Lan understands this truth better than anyone else.

is afraid that the papermaking method will attract too many people like Jin Zhuang, Gu Lan sells relatively little paper, and the price has always been very expensive.

Jin Zhuang has seen the world, so he naturally explores the business opportunities in it, as long as he can obtain the paper-making method from Gu Lan, even if it is a piece of paper and a gold, he can sell the paper at ten times the price!

Ten times the benefits!

How can Jin Zhuang not be blushing?

"If the gentleman hasn't dispelled his mind, then we'll have to send them off."

Gu Lan didn't ink with him, and she didn't lack this time, as long as the time was ripe and the people in Xiaolongkanli were ready, she naturally had a way to make the group of horse bandits give way.

Seeing that Gu Lan was not bargaining, Jin Zhuang smiled and suddenly changed his tone, "That's it, since this is a secret method in your family, I naturally can't overlord the bow, and the transaction will not be benevolent and righteous, so we might as well discuss, if we buy it from you, what is the purchase price?" ”

Gu Lan smiled slightly, and what followed was a long price war between the two of them.

The two old men, Old Man Shao and Old Man Lizheng, who listened directly, were drowsy, and Uncle Ming also came from behind, and sat next to him with the ram and listened.

Finally, Gu Lan and Jin Zhuang negotiated the price of paper sales.

Gu Lan took Jin Zhuang to see the paper mill, where there were three different kinds of paper, one was soft toilet paper, one was calligraphy paper suitable for writing, and the other was rice paper of higher quality and more suitable for painting and preservation.

Toilet paper, that's a rarity.

Jin Zhuang begged for some with great interest, ready to try the effect.

Then order 1,000 sheets of calligraphy paper and 1,000 sheets of rice paper.

The survival of the paper mill was almost emptied, and the transportation of paper needed to be preserved in wooden boxes and sealed with wax, which was laborious and time-consuming, and Jin Zhuang had to stay in the village for two more days.

Matching with paper, Gu Lan also used the prey from the village, the stones dug in the mountains, to make the matching four treasures of the study, and the pen holder naturally also has it, these things can be sold as Xiaolongkan's special commodities.

Therefore, when doing it, the workmanship is also very fine, and even when it is sold, Gu Lan also uses the method of hunger marketing very carefully.

Just selling these papers and calligraphy treasures, Gu Lan didn't work hard for a day, and earned more than 3,000 taels for the village.

Jin Zhuang never thought that he had come all the way to leave Shizhen, and before he started to make money, the silver in his pocket was spent like running water.

Jin Zhuang lived in Xiaolongkan, and the darts in his caravan were only followed by two guards to protect his safety.

He had already thought about letting the guards sneak into the paper mill to find a way to make paper, but he couldn't find anything, so he had to give up.

Gu Lan didn't let Jin Zhuang be idle, she went to chat with him when she was idle, and asked where the Jin family's caravan went, what goods to sell, and if there was a suitable one, she also wanted to buy some.

Communicate with each other, so it is called cooperation.

As soon as he heard that he could make money from Gu Lan, Jin Zhuang also raised his momentum and wrote a long list for Gu Lan overnight.

Yes, that's right, it was written on the collector's edition of rice paper given to him by Gu Lan, as well as the four treasures of the study.

Jin Zhuang admired the candle ink, looked at the paper that was as smooth as skin, and wrote his words clearly, without carving, that kind of satisfaction is really not something that can be described ordinarily.

He had a hunch that once these papers were transported back to the capital, they would definitely be looted in a big way!

On the second day, he presented the list to Gu Lan and asked her to choose, and when she came back next time, he would bring it to Gu Lan.

And Gu Lan did see something needed.

She looked at it unceremoniously, and it was really incomprehensible that they were all luxuries.

"There is nothing I need on this, if it is convenient for Mr. Jin, it is better to find more plant seeds that are not common here on the business road in the future, even if they are not known for use, as long as I can grow them, I will definitely surprise Mr. in the next transaction!"
