Chapter 84: Brother, don't be like Li Qingshan

Rich people, too rich!

In these years, there are too many people who save money, and the people are reluctant to spend money.

Because they want to prevent natural and man-made disasters.

But those wealthy merchants, big families, families and nobles, the money in their hands is a number to them.

It's so fat!

We have an obligation to earn this money and redistribute it!

This is the reason why Xiao Fan has repeatedly set foot in the light luxury industry.

What you earn is the money of you big dogs!

You're willing to spend money anyway.

Then I'll let you spend it.

Let you spend decently, spend happily, and spend a sense of superiority!

One by one, they willingly lined up and gave me the money themselves.

As for the common people, Xiao Fan didn't think about it, but it was true that his ability was not enough to help the world.

White sugar, Xiao Fan also has a civilian version, not so white, not so fine, but the taste is about the same.

The price can be five to ten times worse!

Soap, Xiao Fan deliberately let Wanfulou fry, the more expensive the better, and now the amount is controlled, and the capital is stable at ten taels.

There are dozens of taels in the black market, so there is no score, so I deliberately made some shapes that are handsome enough, and took them out to the black market to make people coax people to raise the price.

However, for the lowest-grade soap, Xiao Fan only sells it for 20 yuan.

Twenty wen is not expensive, two catties of rice are more than enough, but it can be used for half a month for a family.

The pancreas used to be more expensive than that!

As for refined salt, Xiao Fan was originally prepared to spread it.

But he has to control the costs so that people think they are extremely high, otherwise he won't make money...... Of course, this is not the point, the point is that once refined salt is popularized, he will become the target of public criticism.

In the past, salt merchants didn't make much money!

Now Xiao Fan didn't dare to offend the group of people who died, and behind those people were all princes and nobles.

In order to achieve the full market of refined salt, it is necessary to take it step by step.

The price of refined salt will be lower and lower, which shows that the cost is decreasing.

It is necessary to gradually make people realize that refined salt will completely replace coarse salt, give all parties time to react, and let everyone be able to sell refined salt in time.

When Xiao Fan said again, the technology breakthrough greatly controlled the cost, and then the refined salt was also sold for dozens of dollars a catty, and it was expected.

Before doing anything, protecting yourself and your family is Xiao Fan's creed!

"Brother......

After saying the happy thing, Li Qingshan hesitated a little and said the conditions of the imperial court.

"The above means that we can hand over the secret recipe of refined salt in exchange for the salt of this refined salt." Li Qingshan looked at Xiao Fan, he was afraid that Xiao Fan would not be willing.

Xiao Fan didn't care: "Since I took it out, I naturally knew that the imperial court would covet it." ”

"Give this secret recipe to the imperial court...... Xiao Fan took out a note, on which was written the operation method of making refined salt from coarse salt.

Li Qingshan glanced at it and glared, "Why is it different from what you told me before?" ”

Xiao Fan smiled faintly and said, "This method ...... The cost is extremely high! ”

Coarse salt is used to make refined salt, and there are several ways to use Xiao Fan's knowledge reserves.

The one who taught Li Qingshan before was a decent one; What is going to be handed over to the imperial court now is the most expensive method of production!

Naturally, there is a deep meaning in doing so.

An old fox like Li Qingshan instantly understood and laughed: "Okay! The cost is high, so we can set the price, and the court can understand it! ”

Xiao Fan smiled again and again, that's exactly what he meant!

The imperial court wants a secret recipe, one of which is that it wants to study it by itself; The second is to observe the market, so as not to let Tsingshan Commercial Bank act alone and control the price of salt at will.

Of course, there's another layer.

The imperial court can also support the imperial merchants themselves and do this refined salt business!

Although Qingshan Commercial Bank has obtained the right to operate refined salt in an unlimited area, the imperial court is really the most powerful channel, and it can even be exported to other countries.

Import and export commercial trade has been around for a long time, and tariffs have been around since ancient times.

The imperial court could let the Qingshan Merchant House act as an agent for this share of the big cities in the country, but the transactions with various countries were ...... This amount is the real horror, and the court can only earn more!

"It's just...... We're not bullying, are we? Li Qingshan smiled proudly.

Xiao Fan knew that he was ridiculing, and said: "I'm not afraid of being discovered, just say that we have made a technological breakthrough and abandoned the previous production method...... What can the court do, at most ask you for a secret recipe. ”

"That's right."

Li Qingshan laughed: "It's still your brother, you have a bright brain, I can't do it, brother, I never thought of being so thoughtful." ”

"Haha."

Xiao Fan pointed to his head and said chicly: "Knowledge is power!" ”

……

Everyone left, and Zhang Zongbao quietly touched him from the side.

He looked a little cautious.

Because he is getting more and more incomprehensible, his brother.

"Brother......

"What's wrong with Zongbao?"

"Brother...... Do you really want to get so close to Li Qingshan? ”

Zhang Zongbao had a serious and confused expression.

He always thought that Xiao Fan and Li Qingshan were just acting on the spot, and the two were not people at all.

Unexpectedly, they finally came together, did such a big business, and helped Li Qingshan clear his name.

This kind of operation, in Zhang Zongbao's view, is abnormal.

"Huh?"

Xiao Fan's forehead wrinkled into Sichuan characters, and Zhang Zongbao's question stopped him.

When he first came, Xiao Fan looked down on people like Li Qingshan, and even disgusted them.

But now, he has really become friends with Li Qingshan.

If you look at it from the previous perspective, it can be said that it is colluded.

Zhang Zongbao took a deep breath and said, "I thought you were just using Li Qingshan, but the matter has come to this, brother, are you really just using him?" ”

"I'm a little scared."

Zhang Zongbao stared at Xiao Fan: "There is more and more silver at home, but I feel that you are becoming more and more strange, and I am really afraid...... I'm afraid that you will become a person like Li Qingshan! ”

Xiao Fan's body shook.

He saw Zhang Zongbao's eyes flashing with crystals.

These days, the silver in Xiao's house can be said to be piled up into a small mountain.

But Zhang Zongbao felt more and more that his good brother was gradually changing.

It is a change that is invisible to the naked eye, but can be experienced by the heart.

At first, the two brothers sold white sugar, just to redeem themselves.

But now, Xiao Fan's appetite is big enough to meddle in the salt industry.

For Zhang Zongbao, in just over a month, Xiao Fan has become too much...... If you look back, you will feel like there has been a sudden upheaval.

Zhang Zongbao didn't know what was wrong, but he vaguely felt that something was wrong.

"Hmmm......"

Xiao Fan's brows were tightened, he was not angry, but seriously thinking about what Zhang Zongbao said.

He also suddenly realized this.

I seem to have gradually become greedy!

But in my heart, I didn't realize this, and kept hinting at myself that this was the primitive accumulation before helping the world.

Even for these reasons, even people like Li Qingshan can tolerate it, and they can help him clear his name.

"What have I done......"

Xiao Fan was also suddenly awakened by his own operation.

He realized that he had become a lot more utilitarian during this time.

Especially, after realizing that King Qi is highly likely to inherit the throne!

Xiao Fan's friendship with King Qi was originally a gentleman's friendship as light as water, but recently he has been sending a lot of things to King Qi.

Already beginning to invest in a future monarch.

He even thought about accumulating enough wealth to wait for King Qi to ascend to that position......

"Shhh

Xiao Fan put his hands on Zhang Zongbao's shoulders and frowned, "Zongbao...... You're right, I've changed a little. ”

I used to be like this.

Xiao Fan didn't want to dump the pot, but he vaguely felt that it was affected by the memory of the original owner, and his heart had undergone subtle changes.

The original Xiao Fan, in addition to preaching righteousness, was not a good thing.

Xiao Fan himself did not notice this change.

But Zhang Zongbao found out and pointed it out in time.

"Brother?" Zhang Zongbao was surprised, he still wanted to wake up Xiao Fan.

Unexpectedly, with just one sentence, Xiao Fan suddenly realized.

Which brings me to what to say next?

"You're right."

Xiao Fan's eyes were tightly closed, and after a while, he slowly opened them, and his eyes were much clearer.

"Walking with Li Qingshan is for his channel connections."

"Whitewashing Li Qingshan is so that he can be our Fadai, and at the same time, we can also get rid of the Emerald Red Girl."

"Meddling in the salt industry...... Originally, I wanted to promote refined salt, but it has become the ...... it is now."

During this time, it seems that I have really become greedy!

Xiao Fan muttered to himself in a deep voice, feeling a trace of fear in his heart.

If Zhang Zongbao doesn't wake up to himself, I'm afraid that the next step is to start making mistakes!

"Brother?" Seeing Xiao Fan's expression, Zhang Zongbao changed for a while and was silent for a while, for fear that he would go crazy, "I'm just saying, don't be too nervous......"

Xiao Fan said suddenly:

"Zongbao!"

"Aang?"

"We have too much silver, we need to spend some more!"

"That's still not right?" Zhang Zongbao said distressedly, and suddenly regretted talking a little.
