Chapter 512: Business as Business
Now we are waiting for news from Jiang Mingyue.
San Ya was bored, so she took Hu Rui to the beach to ride horses.
Lu Qiniang told her not to go too far, but Xiao Yan was worried and followed her anyway.
Doctor Hu muttered, "Please don't bring anyone back again."
Lu Qiniang laughed, "Where are you going to pick someone up in broad daylight?"
"You can always pick it up." Doctor Hu rolled his eyes at her and then praised, "Jiang Mingyue, you are an amazing girl."
Apart from anything else, her father might have tacitly approved or even directly ordered her two uncles to kill her, but she turned around and fought for the Li people. Many men don't have such a broad mind.
This girl will become a great person in the future.
It’s just that at this age, it’s too easy to fall in love.
There is no way, it seems that this is a tribulation that many girls have to go through.
Doctor Hu couldn't help but think of Du Juan, feeling a little sad, but he didn't show it on his face.
"That's quite impressive." Lu Qiniang also praised, "He dares to love and hate, and he also considers the overall situation."
Like a combination of Daya and Erya.
"Has Erya not brought any letters these days?" Lu Qiniang asked A'tai.
A'tai has unknowingly become a good helper to Lu Qiniang.
"Well, no."
Doctor Hu asked, "Can you give the little god a break? His wings are about to break from flying around every day."
"Is there?" Lu Qiniang expressed doubt.
It seems like Daya and Erya haven’t written to me very often.
Doctor Hu curled his lips and said nothing, but thought to himself, you don’t know that Xiao Yan almost exhausted the eagle to death.
Fortunately, it is a Shenying, which is durable.
Lu Qiniang thought about it and was still worried about her child.
Since she had nothing to do, she found paper and pen to write a letter.
Her handwriting is not beautiful, like a dog's crawling, and there are many complicated characters that she can't write, but when writing a letter, the main thing is to make the other person understand what you are saying.
Can what someone else writes be the same as what you write yourself?
After seeing this, my daughter also had a different experience.
So Lu Qinniang sat on the ground with the small table from the carriage in front of her, dipped the pen in ink, bit the pen and began to think.
If she were left to her own devices, she could write dozens of pages of rambling.
But no, I have to write less when I send a letter.
But Lu Qin's mother was smart. She lay on the table and used the tip of a pen to write small words tirelessly so that she could say more.
She told Daya and Erya about what she had seen and heard since coming to Qiongzhou, complained about the high cost of housing, and said she had found a solution, so they didn't have to worry.
Erya received this letter two days later.
At that time, Erya was immersed in the joy of research "breakthrough".
I have been working all night these days and almost killed myself, but finally I see the results.
She didn't dare look in the mirror for many days. She was so afraid of seeing her haggard self in the mirror that she would be embarrassed to death.
God helps those who work hard, and she finally did it!
Although she still has to consider a series of issues such as production, confidentiality, transportation, and sales, and it may take several months or even longer, Erya is still very proud.
Because she has achieved some results these days, she can show off to her parents.
She said that she would be filial to her mother and let her mother enjoy happiness with her, and it was not just empty talk.
So what if something unexpected happens at home?
As long as she is alive, she can turn things around.
She has her mother's indomitable spirit.
When Erya received the letter, she was very excited and felt that her mother and she had a telepathic connection.
Did he know she had achieved results?
"Xiaoshen, be good. I will write back to mother after I finish reading it." Erya asked someone to go out and buy a few pounds of mutton to reward Xiaoshen.
She excitedly opened Lu Qiniang's letter.
The more she looked, the more solemn her expression became and her brows furrowed.
It’s not that Lu Qiniang said any bad news. Even if there was bad news, she would definitely avoid the important issues.
Instead, Erya smelled a business opportunity from her story.
She originally planned to wait until the camphor business was successful, then slowly save up 12,000 taels of silver to buy a boat and go south to do transportation business.
But now she feels that the time left for her is not much.
Erya first calmed herself down and wrote a reply to Lu Qiniang, saying that everything was fine and asking her not to worry.
After feeding the little god and sending him away, Erya stayed alone for half a day and gradually made a decision in her heart.
She went to find Gu Chengyuan.
This was the first time in such a long time that she took the initiative to find Gu Chengyuan.
Gu Chengyuan was naturally considerate towards his superior's daughter.
"Zhuozhuo, what difficulties have you encountered?"
"No." Erya said calmly, "Master Gu, I came here today to ask you if you are interested in doing business."
"Business?" Gu Chengyuan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "You want to do business with me?"
"Yes." Erya nodded, her eyes clear and her words articulate. "Right now, there's a great business opportunity I'd like to partner with. If it falls into someone else's hands, I'm afraid of being cheated, and I also don't want the money to go to someone else."
Looking at the lively little girl, Gu Chengyuan began to understand why Xiao Yan treated her as his own daughter.
It's really smart and clever, who doesn't like it?
"Tell me about it."
At this point, Gu Chengyuan actually didn't take it very seriously. He just thought that Erya was short of money and thought to himself that if it was just a few hundred taels, he would just give it to her directly.
Unexpectedly, Erya's words were earth-shattering.
She said, "I've developed a highly effective camphor and plan to expand production. I've calculated that if this business is successful, it will not only be long-lasting but also very profitable. I just have to be as low-key as possible and not show off, lest anyone become jealous."
Although it is impossible to be completely leak-proof, we still need to keep a low profile.
"In this case, relying on my own efforts, I'm afraid my ability is limited. Moreover, I have limited funds on hand, and I'm afraid I won't be able to start large-scale production in the short term."
Erya is well organized and calm.
"Originally I thought I'd take my time and deal with it when I encountered difficulties. But now, I don't want to wait any longer."
"Why?"
"Because I need money." Arya said frankly.
"If you need money, I can--"
"I want ten thousand taels."
Gu Chengyuan: “…”
This, I'm afraid, won't work.
If Xiao Yan wanted this money, he would sell everything he had to give it to him.
But the little girl in front of me is still too young.
"What do you want so much silver for?"
"Don't worry about what I do for now," Erya said. "Let's talk business. If we cooperate in the camphor business and split the profits 50-50, is it worth the 10,000 taels of silver?"
She had prepared her speech long ago, and now she poured it out in one breath.
There was a look of astonishment in Gu Chengyuan's eyes - not because of her appearance, but because of Erya's intelligence and eloquence, which deeply amazed him.
His daughter is still young, and there are no such large female relatives in the family, so he thinks, are the girls nowadays so amazing?
"Master Gu, I still say the same thing. We are talking business. I believe you won't regret taking this deal. If you are truly unwilling or have reservations, just say so. I just need you to help me find a reliable middleman. I plan to talk to the merchants here."
She is very confident that someone will take up the business.
