Strictly speaking, the location of the market is in a no-man's land, a buffer zone.
Mu Wanqing smiled and shook her head, "No, it's about a mile away from the market, within the territory of my Great Qi."
One mile? What's the difference between that and the market? Commander Ji had a headache and couldn't figure it out.
But seeing Mu Wanqing's confident look, he swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
Forget it, let her do whatever she wants.
"Ganzhou provides the land, you provide the money, and the profits are split 20-80, you get 20%."
It was like getting something for nothing. He didn't have to contribute anything. No, he only contributed a piece of unused abandoned land.
The price was originally very high, and then Mu Wanqing bargained slowly.
"Three, three, four. Ganzhou three, Dusifu three, and I'm four. You don't have to worry about anything. Just wait to collect the money."
"I agree." Du Shaoxuan expressed his support firmly. The Dusi Mansion would have an extra tax revenue for no reason.
Two to one, Commander Ji had nothing to say, and he didn't care much about it.
The mutual trade is just a channel to the outside world, and we don’t expect to make much money.
At this time, he had not yet realized how big a stage this was.
After all matters were settled, Mu Wanqing took the initiative to stand up and said, "Today is the opening day of the market. I want to go over and take a look. What about you guys?"
Du Shaoxuan also stood up and said, "Let's go together." He was a little worried about that kind of occasion.
"I'll go too." Ji Cheng had been there several times and didn't have a very good impression of the trade.
"I won't go. I still have some things to take care of." Commander Ji waved his hand and declined politely. Everyone in the trade knew him, and he would attract too much attention if he went.
The market was still as lively as ever, with all kinds of food, drinks and daily necessities available, but the stalls were arranged in a messy manner and it was noisy with too many people.
Individual investors and big traders gather together, and basically they engage in bartering.
Mu Wanqing exchanged things with great interest while walking around. She exchanged soap for a few wool blankets and a few butcher knives and took them back as gifts.
After walking around, Mu Wanqing picked a spot and sat down to set up her stall.
Milk tofu, cheese, spicy dried tofu, honey pork jerky, hot sauce, etc.
She laid out the samples and cut them into small pieces for free tasting.
The fresh food attracted countless eyes. Everyone came to try it, and once they started eating it, they couldn’t stop.
A high roller shouted excitedly, "I want to exchange more, what do you want to exchange?"
"I want wool, mutton and beef." Mu Wanqing wanted common things that most herdsmen have at home.
However, the quantity the wealthy customer wanted was too large, and Mu Wanqing looked embarrassed. "I don't have that much at the moment, so I only provide reservation service. If you place an order now, I will deliver it to you the next time the market opens."
"No cash loan?" The rich customer was stunned. Booking? So troublesome?
Mu Wanqing's attitude was particularly good, with a smile on her face, "No, the production process of this thing is too complicated, and it is sold in limited quantities. Each one is sold in 1,000 kilograms, or 1,000 bottles, while they are sold out."
The wealthy customer was still hesitating, frowning, while the person next to him could not wait to place an order, "I want 100 kilograms of honey pork jerky and 100 bottles of hot sauce."
"Okay, please wait a moment." Mu Wanqing received the deposit and issued a receipt with the specific time and place written on it. "This is the receipt for picking up the goods, please keep it."
All large transactions require a written contract. There are two types of contracts. One is a blank contract, which does not require approval from the government. If any disputes arise, they can be resolved by oneself.
One is a red deed, which must be filed with the government and require the payment of certain taxes, but is guaranteed.
Mu Wanqing naturally had to sign the red deed. The other party looked at her several times and said, "Mu's Trading Company? How come I haven't heard of it?"
Mu Wanqing introduced with a smile, "Mu's Company is owned by the owner of Qingping Township. Everyone knows that the owner of Qingping Township started her business with cement water trucks, but you may not know that she has dabbled in many areas. The famous snack street in Liangcheng was created by her. There is nothing she can't do, as long as you can't think of it."
"Mu's business covers everything. In addition to hundreds of kinds of food, there are also various daily necessities. There will be new things for sale every time, so please stay tuned."
There was no such thing as Mu's Trading Company, but what she said sounded like the truth, so everyone believed it.
Du Shaoxuan did not show up throughout the whole process. He just watched her silently with smiles in his eyes.
This clever guy has another idea.
The rich man couldn't help but get anxious, "Give me 100 kilograms of each, no, 200 kilograms."
"I want one too."
The order was filled up very quickly, and when other people heard the news and rushed over, they found nothing and were extremely disappointed.
Mu Wanqing said that we can wait for the appointment next time.
She was eloquent and eloquent, and she confused everyone and made them say they were willing to wait.
The food is worth the wait.
The orders are all scheduled until after the New Year, and Mu Wanqing is overwhelmed by the deposits she has received.
Ji Cheng had been helping out the whole time, and he went from being embarrassed and shocked in the beginning to being full of admiration.
She finally saw Mu Wanqing's talent in business. She was not bragging, she was really capable.
They say making money is hard, but what's so hard about it? Look at what Mu Wanqing did, it's so easy, isn't it?
So, it still depends on the person.
Several girls from the grassland ran over, pointed at Mu Wanqing and screamed, "Right here, that's her!"
The wealthy guests who had not yet dispersed hurriedly asked, "Is there something wrong with her food?"
"Ah? What food? I don't know." A young girl looked at Mu Wanqing with bright eyes, "Miss, do you have any... soap? My friends need it."
Mu Wanqing recognized her immediately. This was the girl who had just exchanged wool blankets with her. "Yes, but not much."
She took out a dozen colorful soaps, some of which were crystal clear, some were as white as jade, and some were pink and tender. They were very beautiful and exuded a faint fragrance.
The girls stared with wide eyes and shouted, "I want them all."
You have two dollars and I have one percent of my three dollars, and we divide it all up.
The high-handed man asked curiously, "What is this?"
The girl's face flushed with excitement. "The soap used for washing face, hair and bathing smells so good."
The Hao Ke looked disgusted and said, "We grown men can't use it."
Mu Wanqing smiled and promoted it, "Give it to your mother, your wife, or your sweetheart. Women will like it, and you will get a lot of compliments if you give it to them."
"Who cares?" The rich man rolled his eyes and took out a banknote. "Give me twenty dollars."
Everyone: ...He says no, but his body is quite honest. Haha, man!
"No more." Mu Wanqing cleared out all the things she brought with her. "As usual, we accept reservations."
Okay, it’s a habit now, so let’s order it.
After all the things were sold out, Ji Cheng was finally able to take a breath and ran to the corner to drink a glass of water.
Du Shaoxuan had been sitting here, his eyes never leaving Mu Wanqing.
Ji Cheng was deeply touched. "The village head is really good at doing business. Has she always been like this...bending down?"
Even though he is already the village chief, he is still willing to be a street vendor. He is flexible and resilient.
Du Shaoxuan looked at the glittering girl in the crowd, his heart full of pride, "She is testing the waters, seeing how the market reacts, getting familiar with the market situation, and preparing for the next step."
It is not only to promote one's own business, but also to conduct some research in advance on the management plan for the trade.
Ji Cheng was stunned, "You know her very well."
Du Shaoxuan raised his eyebrows, a little proud, "It's nothing to know how to do business, this is the easiest thing for her, she knows a lot, she..."
Speaking of Mu Wanqing, Du Shaoxuan talked nonstop, his pride almost overflowing.
Ji Cheng listened with great interest, "Young Master, you like her so much."
Her casual words had a great impact on Du Shaoxuan's heart, "Who likes...her?"
Like Mu Wanqing? How is that possible? He just treats her as... a friend!
Yes, friends.
"Look at the light in her eyes." Ji Cheng actually knew her family's plan. They wanted her to marry the young master. She was hesitant before. For a marriage of arranged marriage, one must choose someone of equal social status.
They bow their heads to marry their daughters and raise their heads to marry their daughters. The only family better than the Ji family is the Du family.
Love and affection are not important to her; she only cares about the benefits that a marriage brings. Since she is going to get married anyway, why not choose the best one?
But after seeing Mu Wanqing, she completely gave up the idea and said sincerely, "You two are a good match."
Du Shaoxuan thought they were just pure friends, but he couldn't help but ask, "How are they a good match?"
As a bystander, Ji Cheng saw it most clearly.
"She is smart and capable, and you are generous and tolerant. No matter what she does, you support her unconditionally, and she will think of you first when she has something good to offer. I really envy you."
"You never took your eyes off her."
A huge wave rose in Du Shaoxuan's heart, and the hazy layer of window paper was punctured.
What friends? It's clearly a man's liking for a woman.
But he was too stupid to realize it.
He likes Mu Wanqing! He likes her so much!
Late at night, Mu Wanqing finally counted the money and sorted the orders into a book. This trade was more profitable than she had imagined.
Soap Soap is a consumable item and can be supplied for a long time.
You can pick out a few foods that are easy to store and keep them for a long time.
By replacing it with large quantities of wool, the raw materials were available and the wool workshop could be opened smoothly.
She plans to formally establish the Mu Trading Company and set up a branch in Ganzhou City. Who should she choose to stay there permanently?
She circled a few names, and as she looked at them, she couldn't help but yawn. Forget it, go to sleep, and have a good chat with Du Shaoxuan tomorrow.
If we bring the Du family in as well, we can dominate the Xiliang region...
By the way, Du Shaoxuan suddenly left the market without saying hello to her, but asked Ji Cheng to tell her that she didn’t know what happened in such an urgent situation.
She slept until dawn, and the first thing she did after waking up and washing was to go find Du Shaoxuan.
The secret guard reported, "The young master has not returned. He and Commander Ji are both staying in the military camp to deal with important matters."
When it comes to military matters, Mu Wanqing didn't ask too much, "Okay, I understand."
In the following days, she was formulating a management system for the trade, directing people to rebuild a street called Fengyue, and also going outside the city to measure land in preparation for building a commercial street.
Ji Cheng helped her, and they were both very busy and felt that they did not have enough manpower.
At the busiest time, Mu Zicheng came with his tribesmen, "Sister, we are here."
As soon as he received the pigeon message from his sister, he immediately selected a group of people to rush over day and night.
Mu Wanqing was very happy to see her family and said happily, "Brother, you came at the right time. I have a new idea to make money."
"Sister, you are really amazing." Although Mu Zicheng was very tired, he was in good spirits. He touched Mu Wanqing's head and looked at her carefully. "You have lost weight. Have you eaten well? No matter how busy you are, you must take good care of yourself. Health is the most important thing."
"I ate well." Mu Wanqing felt warm in her heart.
A clear voice sounded, "What is this?"
Mu Wanqing then thought of Ji Cheng who was standing beside her, and took the initiative to introduce him, "My eldest brother, Mu Zicheng."
"This is Commander Ji's eldest daughter, Ji Cheng."
When their eyes met, it was as if an electric current flashed through them in an instant.
