Chapter 284 The Sixth Taste

During the New Year holidays, many fried dishes were made with peanut oil, and I also gave some to Liang Ruoxu so that he could try it.

The elder man and Liang Ruoxu also highly praised this peanut oil.

If the significance of the greenhouse is that it can provide many people with an additional livelihood during the slack season, then the emergence of peanut oil is equivalent to adding a "flavor" to life, just like the sour, sweet, bitter, spicy and salty flavors of vegetables, all of which originally came from various plants.

Therefore, this is still a very important and very pleasing thing, which can be left for the future and reported at the right opportunity.

Therefore, this matter must be handled well, thoroughly and beautifully.

For this purpose, the elder man even wrote a signboard for him, a very simple "Tang's Peanut Oil" without any frills.

Tang Qingshan went back and picked up a small can of peanut oil, called his fourth brother Tang, and went to the old patriarch's house.

These two people, or two families, are the two most satisfactory families that Tang Qingshan picked out from the entire village. They are reliable and their families are reliable.

After they went there and told each other what happened, they were very happy.

The old patriarch said repeatedly: "Qingshan, what do you want? Just tell me. You are an expert. I don't know much about these things. I will listen to you! Although I am old, my children Youzhong and Youxiao are still obedient. Just tell me what you want!"

Tang Qingshan explained calmly: "I thought, first find a place in the village, build a workshop, and then find some manpower..."

The old patriarch's family had some spare money, but they were not very wealthy. The most they could take out was a few dozen taels of silver. Tang Duanwu was afraid that he could not even take out twenty taels. Everyone's situation was obvious, so Tang Qingshan said directly that Tang Duanwu would pay 10%, the old patriarch would pay 20%, and he would pay the remaining 70%.

Since it was difficult for Tang Duanwu to take out twenty taels, he could lend him ten taels and deduct the amount when the dividends were distributed.

This means that Tang Duanwu contributes twenty taels, the old patriarch contributes forty taels, and the three families contribute a total of two hundred taels.

By then, the old patriarch's family will be Tang Youzhong and Tang Youxiao, and Tang Duanwu's family will be him and his son Tang Duogu. In other words, Tang Qingshan will leave all matters to these four people, train them into excellent "management" talents, and at the same time pick out suitable people from among them to be accountants. Of course, he will also train the fourth brother Tang into an excellent "management" talent.

Each gets what they need, and it’s a win-win situation.

Tang Qingshan explained the matter clearly, and the old patriarch and Tang Duanwu were very grateful.

After all, for them, being able to manage such a large workshop is a great future no matter what they do, so they are not greedy.

Tang Qingshan looked at the two people's expressions and said, "Also, there is one more thing."

He explained the performance of the elder and Liang Ruoxu, picking out the parts that they could understand, and both of them were a little surprised.

Tang Qingshan added, "Because pressing peanut oil is actually a very simple matter, so what I mean is that we should prepare enough goods from the beginning, make more, sell more, spread it far and wide, and spread it everywhere, so that everyone can have such a shadow in their minds. Even if other people learn it, when everyone recognizes our Tang family peanut oil, we will still have no worries about selling it. This will reduce some money in the short term, but it will be beneficial in the long run... Now I just ask you, if you need to add money at that time, do you want to follow me to add more, or still pay one or two, or just pay this much and I will pay the rest myself?"

Both of them were silent.

Both of them are smart people, but they have never done business before, so they still have to think about it.

If they didn't pay more, wouldn't that mean that Tang Duanwu only paid 20 taels from the beginning to the end? The old patriarch only paid 40 taels? Even if they had never done it, they knew that for such a large workshop, this little bit of money was not worth the effort.

What would that mean? It would mean that their share of the money would get smaller and smaller... and their share would also be smaller.

The old patriarch said: "If we add more, what should we do if we don't have money?"

Tang Qingshan said: "Just do as Uncle Duanwu and I just said."

The old patriarch nodded suddenly. If they couldn't afford the additional silver, Tang Qingshan could lend it to them and deduct the money from their dividends... This way, it was actually very safe.

Moreover, although they were ignorant, the elder and the county magistrate were not ignorant people! Tang Qingshan was not a person who spoke without thinking! !

The old patriarch was the first to figure it out, and said, "Additional! I'll give you two!!"

"I'll add to that!" Tang Duanwu's eyes almost looked straight at him: "Qingshan, let's prepare enough money from the beginning! I don't know how to do business, but I believe in you! I won't make a mistake with you! I'll borrow 40 taels from you, and I'll pay you 50 taels! Let's prepare enough goods from the beginning! Qingshan, I'm going to say something unlucky. If I really lose money, I will sell everything I have to pay you back. I won't let you bear it alone! I'm not the kind of person who will refuse to pay if I lose money! "

The old patriarch pondered for a long while, then smiled and said, "Duanwu is still young and energetic! Well, that's fine too, I, an old man, will also fight for it! Qingshan, I will also borrow fifty taels from you, and I will pay you one hundred taels!"

Tang Qingshan agreed with a smile.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Then Tang Qingshan told them that they would come tomorrow to sign the contract and choose a place. At that time, Tang Youzhong and Tang Duanwu would follow him, learning and keeping accounts along the way.

After coming out of the old patriarch's house, Tang Qingshan asked Fourth Brother Tang: "What did you see?"

Fourth Brother Tang was still a little excited at the moment. He calmed down and said, "I think Dad spoke step by step and planned it out."

He thought about it in his mind for a long time before he slowly said, "I discussed it with them first, and then started to ask for money. Then I asked for Uncle Yuan and Lord Liang. They believed in me more, and then I slowly increased the amount..."

He felt that he understood everything and had a vague concept in his mind, but if he was asked to summarize it, he really couldn't express it clearly at the moment.

Tang Qingshan nodded.

Although Xiao Shilang is young, he is indeed talented.

He explained to his son in detail: "In fact, from the beginning, I had planned to give 500 taels, but I told them directly that they would be afraid of difficulties... so I had to take it step by step. The amount I mentioned at the beginning was the amount that they would feel pain in their hearts, but they could take it out. This amount was just right. But even so, I also said a lot before that."

Fourth Brother Tang nodded suddenly, "Yes, yes, before that, you should tell them how to do it, what the finished product will look like, and how to sell it. This way, they will know where to spend the money and what the result will look like!"

"Yes." Tang Qingshan said, "The clearer I explain it, the more they will have an idea in their minds. At the time I said it, they were already ready to do it together, so in their minds, this is their own business. After that, they will not pay the money even if it hurts. After that, as you said, if I bring up Lord Bo and Lord Liang and increase the money, they will not refuse to follow. And even if they don't follow, it doesn't matter. It's also good for me."

He paused and said, "But the expressions of the last two people show that they have really thought it through. They have thought through both the good and the bad."
