Chapter 87 Buy Buy Buy
However, Yue Fuli originally intended to help them, so it was not impossible to lend them money. However, there is no free lunch in the world, and you have to pay a price.
Therefore, Yue Fuli directly said to him, "You can borrow money, but you have to pay interest."
Yue Zhenhe frowned slightly. Although he thought things would not go so smoothly, he did not expect Yue Fuli to ask for interest. Isn't this the same as lending money at usury?
But when he thought about the pain of having no money, he finally nodded and said, "Okay, I wonder how much the interest will be?"
"Five points, one month."
Although Yue Zhenhe had never borrowed money from a loan shark, he knew how much the interest rate was. With that in mind, Yue Fuli's price was a fair one.
Therefore, he readily agreed, "No problem, five points is five points."
"Then write an IOU." Yue Fuli took out a pen and paper and asked Yue Zhenhe to write an IOU.
Yue Zhenhe did not object. Even brothers should settle accounts openly, not to mention that they are not uncle and nephew.
However, he did not borrow much, only twenty taels.
After signing and sealing the agreement, Yue Fuli took the IOU and Yue Zhenhe returned to the second room's resting place.
After solving the money problem, Yue Fuli took a pancake and went to discuss the purchase with Hu Weiwei.
Their exile was headed south, where they could bring goods from the north and sell them there. To secure a profit, they couldn't simply buy goods and head south like other caravans. Instead, they had to buy and sell goods along the way, profiting from the difference in price. This was the only way to recoup their profits as quickly as possible.
Hu Weiwei didn't know much about business, but he knew he couldn't put all his money on goods; he needed to have some money to make a profit. So, during the discussion, he said to Yue Fuli, "Let's start by not buying too much, and then buy and sell as we go. What do you think?"
"Sure. But I'm not very familiar with this area. You guys often go this way, so you should know which items are more likely to sell. When the time comes, we'll buy those that are more likely to sell, take them to the next place, and sell them there. By doing this cycle, our capital will increase. Once we have accumulated enough money, we can start working freely."
After the discussion, Hu Wei divided the officials into two teams. One team took money and went to the county town ahead to purchase goods. The rest of the team was responsible for escorting Yue Fuli and his party.
The task of purchasing was still handed over to Xiaowu and Xiaoliu. Hu Wei was worried and went along with them. After two days of contact, he was still quite confident in Yue Fuli.
He knew that with Yue Fuli's skills, if she wanted to leave, they would have no way to stop her. Now that she was doing business with them, she would definitely not leave for the time being.
The place where we had a rest at noon was about ten miles away from the county town, so we set off after lunch.
Not long after they left, Yue Fuli and his group also set off. Hu Weiwei's shopping might take a long time, so it was just right for them to wait in front.
Let’s talk about Hu Wei and his group. After arriving in the county town, they first learned about the market prices of various items, and then decided to buy some commonly used items.
Even if such things cannot be sold in one place, they can be sold in another place. In this way, their goods will not be too overstocked.
This time it was a test, and Yue Fuli did not give them too much silver, only five hundred taels.
But even if there were only five hundred taels, they could still buy a lot of things. So after asking around, the group started shopping.
