The officials roared impatiently and cracked their whips. The exiles were so scared that they dared not say anything more. Just now, the officials were hiding from the rain in the temple to eat and rest, and they could only eat a few bites of dry food outside in the rain. Now when they got up and walked, their whole body was in pain, and their feet felt like they were not their own.
"Sir, my grandmother told me to give these to the officials to wear on their wrists to light the way at night."
The fat boy Su Sinan is worthy of being the community leader. He ran to Zhou Fuan with a fluorescent stick in his hand.
"This is a treasure my uncle bought when he was doing business on a South China Sea cargo ship. My uncle said that those South China Sea cargo ships travel on the sea all year round and are afraid of encountering storms, especially at night when they can't see anything clearly. So they wear this thing on their wrists, which can illuminate and is not afraid of water."
Zhou Fuan was in a bad mood. Let's go. It's dark and rainy. We can't see the road clearly and don't know what will happen. If we don't go, if there is a catastrophe, not only the prisoners, but everyone will die.
Unexpectedly, the Su family solved the thing he was most worried about. The expression on his face also relaxed a lot.
"Sir, we still have some glow sticks at home, but there are too many prisoners, and there are not enough to give one to everyone. It would be inappropriate to give one to anyone. But one person out of three in the team can wear one..."
The little fat boy didn't say anything else.
Zhou Fuan thought: [This brat is indeed the nephew of the Emperor Song, and he even came before me in business. However, his suggestion is quite good. If one of the three prisoners buys, the team's forward formation will light up, and they will follow closely in front, behind, left and right, so they won't fall behind and cause problems.]
"Sell it, as long as you can break even."
Zhou Fuan thought to himself, brat, these are extraordinary times and we need extraordinary measures, but you have to be clear about your identity and you can’t use this to make money.
"Sir, you are a very kind person. But we are prisoners, how dare we do business to make such dishonest money. I mean, I took this thing out of my house and gave it to you. It's your business how you want to sell it. As long as you give me..."
The fat boy stopped talking. His chubby face was smiling like a sunflower, blooming towards Zhou Fuan, as if Zhou Fuan was his sun.
"How many are there? Go back and discuss it with your eldest brother. Bring them all. I'll give you 100 coins for each one."
Even though Zhou Fuan was the warden of the capital, he had never seen this thing. He knew that as a rare item from Southeast Asia, it was priceless. But he was an official and the Su family were prisoners. It was good enough to give the Su family 100 coins. If it was another official, he would not only rob it directly, but also beat them up. They had no place to complain.
"Sir, you are really the best person I have ever met. I will go back and get it for you."
Su Sinan's eyes got even smaller as he smiled. "Sir, the ones who are in charge of our family now are my grandma and my mom. My eldest brother is still in a coma. Even when he wakes up sometimes, he can't even say a few words before fainting again from the pain. He is awake more often than fainting. He can't take care of anything."
The smile on Su Sinan's face disappeared, and he looked a little sad. "Oh, why am I talking to the official about these useless things? I'll go back and get the things for the official, so as not to delay his business."
After Su Sinan finished speaking, he turned and ran away.
[Oh my god, my third brother is the best businessman I have ever seen. I have to think carefully about how to help my third brother expand his business to all countries. When the time comes, my third brother will become the richest man in this paper world. Hehe, then I can just lie down and count small amounts of money and live a happy life. ]
Su Mibao was very happy. The fluorescent sticks she took out were useful, but the eldest brother was worried that if only the Su family used them, they would be coveted by others, not to mention that the officials had to walk in the dark. So he asked the little fat boy to give some to the officials. Unexpectedly, the third brother not only did a favor, but also negotiated a business deal with the officials.
[One light stick costs 100 coins, 10 of them is 1,000 coins, or one tael of silver. I only need to take out 200 of them, and I can make 20 taels of silver in one go. Oh my god, isn't this too easy to make money? ]
Su Mibao really wanted to sell all the fluorescent sticks in the space supermarket, but she knew that since this kind of thing was said to be a rare toy bought by her uncle from a Nanyang businessman, she couldn't have too many of them, otherwise they would be worthless.
As soon as Su Sinan ran back, he excitedly told Su Zhenbei about the business discussion he had just had with Zhou Fuan.
"Well, just give them two hundred."
Su Zhenbei looked at his third brother with satisfaction. Although his third brother was not good at literature or martial arts, he was really good at dealing with strangers, and he was thick-skinned and sweet-mouthed. Well, he had found the direction for his third brother's future development. Business, his third brother was like his grandfather's family, he had a talent for business.
However, as the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion, they didn't need the Su family to do business to make money. In addition, the third brother was still young, so they didn't discover his talent for business.
[Third brother, you are amazing. Not only did you earn a lot of money for our family, but you also managed to fool Zhou Fuan with just a few words. You are amazing.]
Su Mibao also praised her third brother.
Zhou Fuan's words just now about going back and asking your eldest brother were obviously a trap. It was because he saw that the third brother was just a child and thought that children were easy to deceive, so he wanted to ask the third brother about the health condition of their eldest brother.
Unexpectedly, her third brother, who looked like a little bit of a loser, was actually not only a boastful and arrogant community leader, but also a good businessman.
He immediately saw through Zhou Fuan's trap and shut him up with a few words.
The third brother is a child, and children will not lie. After this test, Zhou Fuan will be more convinced that the eldest brother's health has not recovered, and is even a little worse.
Su Mibao took out two hundred glow sticks from the Space Supermarket. Su Sinan ran away with them. After a while, he came back happily and handed twenty taels of silver to his grandmother.
There was a piece of pork jerky in his mouth.
"That Mr. Zhou is such a good man. He even gave me a handful of pork jerky."
As he spoke, he distributed the pork jerky in his hand to several children. The children squeezed into the donkey cart, chewing the pork jerky.
"Everyone listen up, it's dark and the roads are slippery. If you need lighting, come here and buy some flashlights. Two for one ounce of silver. There are only 200 in total. First come, first served."
The Su family members in the donkey cart looked at each other in bewilderment when they heard the sudden voice of the official outside.
This is a typical case of raising the price.
"Dad, the light sticks sold by the police were taken from the Su family. Should we buy them?"
"Buy, have you forgotten what I just said to you in a blink of an eye?"
"I haven't forgotten. Dad, you said that we two brothers should keep an eye on the Su family. Whatever they do, our Wang family just follows."
Su Mibao was listening to the conversation between the eldest son of the Wang family and Taifu Wang and his son coming from the Wang family carriage behind, and his brows were furrowed. Taifu Wang was indeed the brains of the older generation in the whole book, his mind worked so quickly.
