."Under Yang Lin's instruction, Xiao Qi and Xiao Ba brought over a table. Xiao Jiu took out an account book and a large bag of copper coins, preparing to keep track of the accounts.Seeing this scene,...Before I came, I had already heard that you indeed taught the techniques of making tofu, but there is a crucial medicinal water needed in the process...

"But you never made this medicine public, did you"

Zhao Zhongming said meaningfully.

So if I'm not mistaken, although you have made public the technology of making tofu, the crucial medicinal water for making tofu is still in your hands, 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, his voice low: "Could it be that Brother Yang planned this from the start, not selling tofu but only buying medicinal water"

hahaha!

"Well calculated!"

Zhao Zhongming applauded him.

Yang Lin could no longer contain his surprise.

But don't worry, Yang brothers. Our Zhao family always operates within our boundaries. Our master said that while we can make money, we should never push people to their limits. Only with a win-win situation can we make lasting profits.

"We wouldn't stoop to watering down the medicine. The Zhao family has a large business and is too busy to bother with making tofu. As long as we buy from you and make an 80% profit, that's enough."

Yang Lin was greatly shocked.

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

>Today's confrontation with this old fox made me realize that this world is not so simple after all.

If you treat others as lambs, you'll probably end up being eaten yourself, with nothing left but bones!

Yang Lin smiled and bowed slightly: "Brother Zhao is a smart person, nothing can escape your notice, Brother Zhao. Alas, I'm just an ordinary man trying to make a living, it's not easy to feed my family, one has to eat."

"Thank you, County Magistrate and Brother Zhao, for giving me this opportunity. I made this tofu myself!"

"However... Brother Zhao is right. I do intend to sell the medicinal water. In the next period of time, tofu probably won't be in short supply on the market, so I suggest Brother Zhao order less tofu."

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

Then, as the Yang brothers have said, let's do less.

The Zhao family's business was vast, so they didn't take this tofu business too seriously. Although it was a surefire profit, the Zhao family wasn't greedy.

And what Yang Lin didn't know was that Zhao Zhongming wasn't misleading him. The county magistrate, after tasting the tofu, was quite surprised and truly wanted him to come and help Yang Lin, aiding him in getting out of this predicament.

The two quickly signed a tofu order. Yang Lin's tofu workshop provided 400 pieces of tofu to the Zhao family daily.

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

While the two were chatting, a commotion could be heard outside.

Yang Lin secretly exclaimed, "Oh no!"

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

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

Now, those from the big families have come looking. If these people were to gather together, I fear there would be trouble.

Soon, this large group rushed in. Upon seeing Yang Lin and Zhao Zhongming together, they immediately showed expressions of realization.

"Zhao Zhongming, you took Yang Lin out alone. Do you want to eat alone"

"Shouldn't we all share the wealth It's so annoying how you guys always want to take it all for yourselves!"

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

"Let's give Yang Lin a way out, he's not having an easy time either."

"I advise Brother Zhao, don't kill the goose that lays the golden eggs!"

At this moment, the stewards of these powerful families all transformed into embodiments of justice, filled with righteous indignation.

They aren't sticking up for Yang Lin, 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 the market and everyone makes money together. Zhao Zhongming was dumbfounded.

Thousands

What is that

He looked at Yang Lin in puzzlement.

“Oh, Qianzhang is something I just made today, a little thing to make a living.”

Zhao Zhongming was greatly shocked.

He was a clever man, and from the expressions of those big families' stewards, he could tell that this Thousand Sheets was definitely a novel item no less intriguing than tofu. Those big families were afraid Zhao family would monopolize it, which is why they said such things.

But he doesn't even know what a thousand pieces is now!

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 these thousand pieces, my Zhao family will have to take a share!"

Zhao Zhongming thought he had gotten along well with Yang Lin, having restored Yang Lin's tofu business. He figured the other party would be grateful to him.

Unexpectedly, Yang Lin came up with another "Thousand Zhang" thing!

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

So, no matter what, this business of a thousand zhangs, the Zhao family cannot be left out.

"Everyone has misunderstood. This time, my Zhao family came only to purchase tofu."

"For a business like this, the Zhao family wouldn't monopolize it. Of course, we would all make money together!"

Zhao Zhongming laughed heartily and bowed to the crowd. He explained the whole situation in just two sentences.

Everyone let out a sigh of relief.

If you don't want to go it alone, let's all pool our resources. We'll see who sells the best and each person takes responsibility for their own success.

Thus, the conversation turned back to Qianzhang.

"Yang Lin, what about Qian Zhang How is it selling"

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

"Yeah, with so many of us buying goods, we should get a discounted price."

Everyone chimed in, chattering away.

Yang Lin bowed again and said with a chuckle, "It's not easy to make these thousand sheets, it takes a lot of effort, and the materials are solid. If you sell them in the capital for one hundred wen per jin, they would definitely sell out."

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

He really dares to ask!

But everyone understands that a novel product, when it first goes on sale, is priced higher, which is also reasonable.

But, our county town is no match for the capital city. However, I believe that ten copper coins per jin will be easy to sell.

Everyone's eyes lit up at once.

Ten yuan, indeed a moderate price.

Let me be frank with you all, the cost of a thousand pieces is roughly six copper coins. This is common knowledge, and I intend to sell them for eight copper coins each, earning myself a 50% profit.

But since you all are so sincere, I, Yang Lin, will offer a low price and sell them for just seven coins. You can then sell them for ten coins each, still making three coins of profit.

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

Okay, seven articles are not too many. I, Lin, will buy them!

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

"We want eighty jin."

We want one hundred catties.

Looking at the crowd opening their mouths, Yang Lin was a little dazed.

To deliberately ask for an extra penny is to wait for them to haggle.

They agreed without even bargaininghis time, Liao Hongying was surprised.At that time, although Li Yuyao had not yet ascended the throne, she was still the emperor's only daughter, the renowned Princess Pingyang.Even if she saw herself...
