Yang Lin Li Yuyao works

Chapter 26 No Haggling?

    

eyes!Although she was down on her luck, although she lived as a commoner compared to her sisters.But you are you, and I am I.This is the principle deeply ingrained in Liao Hongying's bones.That's eno...Before I came, I had already heard that you indeed taught the technique of making tofu, but there is a crucial medicinal water required in the process…

But you haven't disclosed this medicine, have you

Zhao Zhongming said meaningfully.

"So, if I'm not mistaken, although you have publicly shared the technique for making tofu, the crucial medicinal water essential for its production is still held solely in your possession, right"

Unless...

"What kind of magical potion are you planning to sell"

Speaking of this, Zhao Zhongming chuckled and leaned into Yang Lin's ear, lowering his voice: "Could it be that Brother Yang had this plan all along, not selling tofu but only buying medicine"

"Hahaha!"

"What a clever plan!"

Zhao Zhongming applauded for him.

Yang Lin could no longer contain his surprise.

"But don't worry, Yang brothers. Our Zhao family always has a bottom line when doing business. Our master said that we can make money, but we can't drive people to a desperate situation. Only win-win situations allow for long-lasting profits."

"We wouldn't stoop to selling inferior goods. The Zhao family is wealthy and too busy with their own affairs to bother making tofu. We can simply buy from you and earn an 80% profit margin."

Yang Lin was greatly shocked.

Since coming into this world, he actually had a sense of superiority over modern people.

> Today's clash with that old fox made me realize that this world isn't simple at all.

If you treat others like rabbits, you'll probably end up being eaten yourself, with nothing left but bones.

Yang Lin smiled and cupped his hands together: "Brother Zhao is a smart man, truly nothing can escape Brother Zhao's eyes. Ah, I'm just a humble commoner, struggling to make ends meet, always needing something to eat."

"Thank you, County Magistrate and Brother Zhao, for trusting me with this tofu. I made it!"

However... Zhao brother is right, I do plan on selling the medicinal water. For the next while, tofu prices won't be skyrocketing, so I suggest Zhao brother order less tofu.

Zhao Zhongming laughed heartily: "Hahaha, Yang brother, I like your personality."

"Then as the Yang brothers say, let's do less."

The Zhao family's business was extremely large, they didn't take this tofu business too seriously. Although it was a stable and profitable trade, the Zhao family wasn't greedy.

And what Yang Lin didn't know was that Zhao Zhongming wasn't fooling him. That Zhao County Magistrate, after tasting the tofu, was quite surprised and indeed wanted him to come over and help Yang Lin, helping him out of his predicament.

The two quickly signed a tofu order. Yang Lin's tofu workshop supplied the Zhao family with four hundred pieces of tofu every day.

Zhao Zhongming readily took out ten taels of silver as a deposit.

As the two chatted idly, a commotion arose from outside.

Yang Lin secretly cried out in dismay.

He thought the Zhao family would also force him, so when he left, he told Xiao Jiu that if he couldn't go back for a while, he should call those people from the big families.

However, he didn't expect that the Zhao family's attitude towards him would be quite good.

And now, those people from the big families have come over. If these people were to gather together, I'm afraid there would be trouble.

The large group rushed in, and upon seeing Yang Lin and Zhao Zhongming together, they all suddenly looked as if they had understood something.

"Zhao Zhongming, you took Yang Lin out alone, don't you want to eat alone"

"Why don't we all share the wealth It's so annoying that you guys always want to hoard it all for yourselves!"

"Exactly, the tofu business has already been ruined by the Zhou family. This Qianzhang's business absolutely cannot be further destroyed by your Zhao family!"

"Yang Lin isn't having an easy time either, let him live."

"I advise you, Zhao brother, not to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs!"

At this moment, these stewards of prominent families all transformed into embodiments of justice, their righteous indignation boiling over.

They are not standing up for Yang Lin out of fairness, but they don't want the Zhao family to monopolize Qian Zhang again!

The Zhao family has made a move. For them, the best outcome is that no one monopolizes, and everyone makes money together. Zhao Zhongming was completely dumbfounded.

Thousands

What is that

He looked at Yang Lin in confusion.

"Oh, Qian Zhang is something I just made today, a little thing to make a living."

Zhao Zhongming was greatly shocked.

He's a smart man. You can tell from the expressions on those big families that this thousand sheets is definitely something as novel as tofu. Those big families are afraid Zhao's family will monopolize it, so they say things like that.

He doesn't even know what a thousand sheets of paper are!

Zhao Zhongming looked at Yang Lin with a strange expression and said directly, "Yang Lin, brother, I, Zhao, won't beat around the bush with you. No matter how you sell this thousand pieces, my Zhao family must get a share!"

Zhao Zhongming thought he had gotten along well with Yang Lin and helped restore Yang Lin's tofu business. He figured the other party would be grateful.

Unexpectedly, Yang Lin came up with another "qian zhang"

And looking at this, it seems even more popular than tofu!

So, no matter what, Zhao family cannot be left out of this thousand-picture business.

“Everyone has misunderstood. This time, my Zhao family has come only to purchase tofu.”

"For a business involving thousands of sheets, my Zhao family won't monopolize it. Of course, we will all make money together if there is profit!"

Zhao Zhongming smiled and cupped his hands towards the crowd, explaining the ins and outs of the matter in just two sentences.

Everyone also breathed a sigh of relief.

If you don't want to eat alone, we can all buy in together. As for how well it sells, that depends on everyone's own abilities.

Thus, the conversation returned to Qianzhang.

"Yang Lin, tell me, how is Qian Zhang selling"

"It can't be too expensive, or none of us will buy it."

"Yes, with so many of us buying goods, we deserve a discounted price."

Everyone chatted animatedly.

Yang Lin bowed again and said with a smile, "This thousand-sheet recipe is not easy to make, it takes a lot of effort, and the materials are solid. If it were sold in Beijing for one hundred wen per jin, there would definitely be no shortage of buyers."

Upon hearing the sum of one hundred coins, everyone gasped in astonishment.

He really dares to ask for it!

However, everyone understands that when something new and interesting first goes on sale, it's priced higher than usual.

"However, our county town is not as prosperous as the capital city. But I believe that at ten copper coins per jin (a unit of weight), we won't have trouble selling it."

Everyone's eyes lit up immediately.

Ten yuan, is indeed a reasonable price.

Let me be frank with you all, Qian Zhang's cost is roughly six cash coins. This is an open secret. I intend to sell it for eight cash coins, making a 50% profit.

"But since you all are so sincere, I, Yang Lin, will sell at a small profit. Just seven cash per piece. You can sell it for ten cash each, and still have three cash in profit."

As soon as Yang Lin finished speaking, someone immediately nodded in agreement.

Okay, seven wen is not a lot. I, Lin, will buy it!

"No problem, my Zheng family agrees as well."

"We want eighty catties."

"We want one hundred kilograms."

Looking at the crowd of people opening their mouths, Yang Lin was a little dumbfounded.

They overprice intentionally, just waiting for them to haggle.

The result was that nothing was bargained for, and they just agreed to it only seven or eight bandits. Compared to before, it doesn't seem very scary."Alright, since you're not afraid, let's do this!" Yang Lin said.We don't have much time, let's all get to action now."Xiao...
