Chapter 220 Being a Playboy is also useful
Lei Longzi still looked very conflicted.
He felt that Yun Ting might be crazy.
Lu Qiniang pulled him aside and asked carefully: "It doesn't matter how much the cost is, as long as it looks good, what can you make? Show us what you can make."
"But Qi Niang," Lei Longzi said, "that kind of big fireworks cost hundreds of dollars, or even several taels of silver."
Even though Lu Qiniang was mentally prepared, she took a deep breath after hearing this: "So expensive?"
"Well, I once made a particularly large firework. It was used by the prefect in our area to celebrate his concubine's birthday. The cost alone was over five taels of silver. The gold and silver powder were also prepared separately. If you count all the cost, it would have cost at least seven or eight taels."
Fireworks worth five taels of silver?
What if a fire is lit and something goes up to the sky? It will be pretty nice, but it will be gone soon!
Five taels of silver were enough for her to buy Xiao Yan and twenty piglets.
Are those fireworks floating in the sky?
That's Xiao Yan with so many pigs!
"No, this is too expensive. Wait a minute, I'll discuss it with my husband."
Lu Qiniang felt that Yun Ting was also unreliable.
After all, the investment is too large, so we need to think it over carefully.
After listening to her, Xiao Yan said: "The cost is high and the price is high. I think we can give it a try."
"We don't have that much money to invest! Five taels of silver for one, twenty for a hundred taels... and if we make dozens of them, we'll have invested all the money. If we can't sell them right away, won't we lose everything? Besides, these people can't just sit here and wait for work; they need to eat!"
Alas, I used to think that doing business was only about making money, but I didn’t expect that there are so many things involved.
Cost, people working on it, selling it out, and people poaching...
It's true that you only see the thief eating meat, but you don't see the thief being beaten.
Now that the board has fallen on me, I feel the pain.
Lu Qiniang felt that her hair was turning white due to long-lasting work.
"It's okay," Xiao Yan said. "I'll find a way. The most urgent thing is to see what Lei Longzi's work is like and whether it can be accepted by the wealthy people in Beijing."
"Yes, yes, yes."
"Give him fifty taels of silver and ask him to make all the tricks he can." Xiao Yan said again.
"Does it cost so much silver to try it out?"
Lu Qiniang couldn't bear to do it.
Money is hard to come by for poor people, so they are stingy when investing.
——I really can’t afford to pay it back, it’s all hard-earned money.
"Yes." Xiao Yan said, "You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a child."
"Okay!" Lu Qiniang gritted her teeth.
Lu Qiniang went to talk to the others first. "Shouhou's actions were indeed dishonest. But if there's a place that pays more, everyone wants to go, and I understand. So now, if anyone wants to leave, tell me and leave openly. But if you want to stay, I have to tell you the truth. You can't eat my food and then destroy my work. Then we have to talk about it."
What needs to be done must be done.
She asked Xiao Yan to take out the contract and read it word by word to everyone.
Every time Xiao Yan read a sentence, she would explain it.
If there are any inaccuracies in the explanation, Xiao Yan will correct them.
"It's nothing, I just want everyone to keep it a secret. I pay you a lot because I think it's not easy for everyone. You should also think about how hard it is for me, as I've risked my life and everything. I eat the meat and I guarantee you'll have the soup. But if this business fails, you'll probably only be able to drink slop if you go to other places."
Xiong Dadao: "Sister, you don't have to say so much. You are a good person, we all know that. Skinny Monkey is a traitor, and he will get his comeuppance in the future! Come on, where do you press your fingerprints? I'll go first!"
After he pressed his fingerprint, the others who were hesitant about the contract also pressed their fingerprints.
"Don't worry, this is not a contract to sell your body. You just work hard, and when you make money, we will share it." Lu Qinniang said.
"Sister, we believe you." Xiong Dadao said, "Whatever you say is what it is. You are our boss, you make the rules! Anyone who doesn't obey can get out now!"
"right!"
"right!"
Everyone agreed.
The stutterer didn't say anything and was kicked by Xiong Da. "Why, do you have any other ideas?"
"I, I, I didn't... I, I wanted to save up a bowl of meat. Can I still do it, can I?"
This is not just about thinking about whether this incident will affect the quality of future meals, so why didn't you react?
Lu Qinniang laughed heartily and said, "Work when you should, eat when you should. In fact, if you think positively, others are also selling. We may make less money, but we are not losing money. The sky is not falling! Besides, just because Skinny Monkey is like that, it doesn't mean that everyone else is like that. We are still the most particular people."
As she spoke, she also persuaded herself.
"Get to work, work. Do it the same way as before. Let Deaf Lei figure out the new fireworks himself. Leave the rest to me!"
After Lu Qiniang came out of the warehouse, she said, "I was too impatient just now. I panicked when I heard that Skinny Monkey had escaped. I shouldn't have done that. I shouldn't have done that."
"You've done very well." Xiao Yan said, "If it were someone else, it would take several days to recover."
"I'm just pretending to be great! I'm not sure either. I just thought, they left their hometown and are in the dark in the capital, and can only rely on me for a living. If I can't stand up on my own, what will they do?"
Business must be done, and she wants to make money with everyone.
"Yun Ting, do you think your previous friends would be willing to buy it?"
"As long as it's good, I'll definitely buy it." Yun Ting said.
"Mother," Erya said, "I don't mean to be discouraging, but what good things are there in the capital? I remember when we celebrated the New Year at the Zhou Mansion one year, there were also beautiful fireworks. Do you remember?"
Lu Qiniang remembered.
She still remembers the beautiful fireworks vividly.
She had never read a book and could only say "it's beautiful". The girl next to her recited "Thousands of pear trees are in bloom", and she thought reading was really good!
She understood it all. Isn't it just like large patches of pure white pear blossoms blooming in the night sky?
"There are so many good things out there," Yun Ting said, "but not all good things can be known to the public. Even if they are all equally good, it depends on who is selling them!"
Yun Ting knew the inside story of the mallard duck.
For example, the mallard ducks were given to the emperor at a price of several dozen taels each and were treated like treasures.
Giving it to Lu Qiniang would only cost a dozen dollars.
What's missing?
Isn't it exactly the same thing?
But to the emperor, it is valuable.
Now, it is him, Yun Ting, a well-known playboy in Beijing, who is responsible for bringing goods directly from the source and selling them directly from the source to the most reckless spenders in Beijing. Can it be the same?
Yun Ting said that things don’t have to be perfect, as long as they are 80% or 90% good, he can find a way to make those big victims pay for it!
There is really no wasted journey in life.
Being a playboy is also useful.
Yun Ting has already prepared his acceptance speech, so he can only start selling fireworks right away!
