Chapter 96 Zhao Liu paid Su Jingge 500 taels of silver to buy the copyright for the toilet.
Their problem is that the flushing system either can't flush properly, or after flushing, the water in the reservoir doesn't come up.
Everything went into chaos.
The customer held the return slip:
"Zhao Liu, is this thing of yours even any good? I bought it and the whole house smells like shit, water is overflowing, it's everywhere, aren't you disgusting us?"
"We don't have running water here. How am I supposed to flush if we don't have running water? What use is this water tank to me?"
"I might as well not have a water tank at all. I can just pour a basin of water in it and it will go down."
"Give me a refund for the water tank."
"You have to give me half back!"
Zhao Liu was covered in sweat, working tirelessly.
It was finally developed with great difficulty, and now it's backfired.
Who the hell can reason with this?
The situation was spiraling out of control.
Finally, someone said, "If you can't figure it out, then you should ask Sun Changgui for help!"
"Can Sun Changgui go?"
As the saying goes, competitors are enemies.
"He told you what he sells?"
Zhao Liu was furious. He had hoped to use this horse to leave Yuxiang County and sell it all over the country.
That's great, reality always goes against ideals!
He was unconvinced. It must be that Su Jingge who deliberately didn't put any parts in during the research and development, otherwise why would it work sometimes and not work at all?
That little girl is up to no good!
He was furious.
He said, "What's the use of finding Sun Changgui? He was also taught by Su Jingge. The one who tied the knot must untie it. We have to go find Su Jingge."
He was about to head towards Su Jingge Restaurant.
He has to go and settle accounts with her.
Su Jingge was busy taking inventory when she saw an angry figure walking towards her restaurant downstairs.
Several servants behind him were carrying a chamber pot.
She knew what it was about.
Zhao Liu stood at the door and shouted angrily, "Su Jingge, you come out here!"
"What are you yelling for? What are you yelling for?" Ying Xiaohu hated him the most, and he wished he could strangle him whenever he saw him.
This commotion attracted even more onlookers.
Su Jingge calmly walked downstairs, looking at the toilet being carried behind her.
"Su Jingge, what are you up to? You release a new product, so what? Is there something else going on here? Why is it that sometimes the water tank I made doesn't flush down and sometimes it doesn't?"
Su Jingge laughed upon hearing this: "You've plagiarized to such an extent that you think you can justify it?"
Zhao Liu pursed his lips: "Whoever has the ability can copy it. Are you jealous? Do you want an exclusive deal?"
"What a convenient way to interrogate me! You've truly taken shamelessness to the extreme!"
"Stop talking nonsense!" Zhao Liu looked a little embarrassed, but he still straightened his back. "Tell me, what's going on in your toilet?"
She is not the type to monopolize things, nor has she ever tried to outdo anyone else or dominate the market.
Their trade routes will be extensive, and if they build toilets, more people will know about toilets and more people will know about Yuxiang County.
This is also equivalent to advertising for toilets.
It's also a way to promote our hometown.
This is an honor that no amount of money can buy.
Su Jingge stepped forward and saw that the useless person was blocking the other half of the toilet, which had already been split open.
She looked at Zhao Liu: "You want to know?"
Zhao Liu nodded.
"You really want to know?"
"Unfortunately, this patent belongs to me. What can you do if I don't tell you?"
Zhao Liu opened and closed his mouth, wanting to curse, but couldn't find a reason. After all, he had plagiarized, and it was a bit too much to be so self-righteous.
He softened his tone: "Magistrate Su, I was a little impatient just now, but my Shanggu Zhai also makes this kind of toilet, which can be used not only by the people of the city, but also by the people of the whole country."
"Wouldn't that be even better?"
Su Jingge stared at him: "Yes, your Shanggu Zhai would be better."
"If you want to know the method, you have to buy the copyright from me before I can tell you."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Liu realized she wanted money; what a shrewd businesswoman!
But nowadays, apart from her being the founder, no one else really knows how this toilet is made.
Even though he had gathered all the craftsmen under his command, there were still some problems with the research and development.
He even doubted at one point whether this thing was actually used in this era.
But he had no evidence.
"Okay, okay, how much do you want?"
Su Jingge held up five fingers.
Zhao Liu's pupils dilated: "50 taels of silver? You, are you crazy for money?"
Su Jingge shrugged: "Sorry, I didn't know."
"Alright, alright, alright, fifty taels it is."
He looked at the woman and shook his head again: "What is it now, my dear aunt?"
Su Jingge said, "When did I tell you it was fifty taels of silver? Five hundred taels, five hundred taels, and I'll tell you how to make this toilet?"
Zhao Liu was about to go crazy. His eyes were gleaming. "Once my toilets sell out, what business will you have?"
"Fine, fine, five hundred taels, that's five hundred taels."
"There's one more condition: your goods cannot appear in Lingnan for three years. You can sell them anywhere else you like. If you don't agree, you can figure it out yourself!"
Zhao Liu blinked: "Why is that? If you won't let me sell in Lingnan, where am I supposed to sell?"
"Anyway, with your Shangguzhai merchants spread all over the Tang Dynasty, you don't need to compete with small merchants in Lingnan, do you?"
What she meant by saying that was that she was afraid of taking away business from Sun's ceramics workshop.
From a businesswoman's perspective, she is a good person.
However, from a profit perspective, he can't make money in the short term.
But he really wanted to sell it!
Well, he certainly wasn't just relying on business in Lingnan.
I agree!
The two immediately drafted the document. Su Jingge herself was the county magistrate, and she said, "Take my official seal!"
The silver notes arrived.
'Bang'
The official seal was affixed.
Cash on delivery.
Su Jingge gave the money to Xiao Linyuan.
She is the one who can teach.
