Chapter 174 175. The First Bucket of Gold
Busy times always pass quickly. Gu Wenheng travels back and forth to Yingshan Academy every day, and Jin Qianqian also sets up her own workshop.
Looking at the batches of soaps piled up in the warehouse, Jin Qianqian couldn't sit still anymore.
"This warehouse is almost full," Jin Qianqian couldn't help but want to put things into her own space several times.
Gu Wenheng had not expected that the slaves he bought this time were so capable. Not only were they easy to manage, but they were also very nimble and did not slack off or cause trouble. He had thought the work would be slow, but they actually produced so many finished products very quickly.
"Don't worry, if it doesn't work, just use the few empty rooms in your house."
Jin Qianqian, "..." If she hadn't believed in her senior, Jin Qianqian would have wanted to go out and sell the soap herself. Looking at the overflowing warehouse, even though she knew that these things were scarce necessities, she felt anxious staring at them all day long.
"Are you anxious?" Gu Wenheng knew her temper very well. He smiled happily when she rolled her eyes at him.
"Don't worry! I have found a good backer for this batch of goods. Even if we take it out now, others will not dare to make a move."
Jin Qianqian, "Is he the teacher from the academy?"
At the beginning, the two of them wanted to take this route. As long as they had Yingshan Academy as a backer, at least the powerful people in Haicheng would have to think twice before taking action.
Gu Wenheng shook his head mysteriously, "Prince Bai."
"Him?" Jin Qianqian was a little surprised. "When did you become friends?"
"Lu Ping," as soon as Gu Wenheng said these two words, Jin Qianqian understood.
"These dignitaries are not as glamorous as they seem. Haven't I discussed this man's family background with you before? His current situation is not as optimistic as everyone sees." No matter what Gu Wenheng is like inside, as long as he can take advantage of the situation and gain a firm foothold first, it will be fine.
Jin Qianqian, "How much share did you give?"
Gu Wenheng raised three fingers and said, "This Bai Shizi's biological mother is relatively reliable. Before she passed away, she handed over all her dowry and accumulated assets to her confidants.
These confidants were carefully selected by her, and when Prince Bai is able to stand on his own, all of them will be handed over to him."
Speaking of this, Gu Wenheng was really envious. He was not envious of the other party for having a good mother, but of those loyal subordinates.
It is said that those loyal servants paid a huge price for Prince Bai to grow up safely.
"Do you want to ship them all over the country?" Jin Qianqian began to calculate in her mind whether the finished products she had in her hands were enough for distribution.
Gu Wenheng stretched out his index finger and shook it in front of her, "No, don't forget where we are now?"
Jin Qianqian, "You guys want to package it and pretend it's a foreign item?"
Gu Wenheng snapped his fingers and said, "It's my wife who understands me."
As long as they are treated with imported goods, even if these people have some thoughts, they can be given some time to relax.
"How long will it take to prepare?" Jin Qianqian secretly wondered whether she should increase production and try to stock up more goods.
"Try to prepare as much as possible. The cargo ship will take some time. Now Prince Bai is also looking for partners. We have to act out the whole play."
Jin Qianqian: "..." Is this planning to be the chief director in ancient times?

There were people coming and going at the port dock today, and many officials and businessmen were standing on the shore watching.
"Did you also receive the news and come here to wait for the goods?" One of the young men in gorgeous clothes asked the old man next to him curiously.
"That's right. The previous caravan said that they have another cargo ship coming today, and they are bringing rare items that have never been seen before. I just don't know what they are?
Now everyone is looking forward to it, and they are also afraid that they will not be able to grab the goods. "The old man looked at the young man, "I didn't expect that you are so well-informed at such a young age. How about it? Have you heard of any other important news? Tell us so that we can be mentally prepared."
The young man in fancy clothes looked very proud, "I did get some information. This thing didn't exist in our Rong Dynasty before."
"We've heard all of what you said. Is there anything new?"
The gentleman in fancy clothes leaned close to his ear mysteriously and said, "I heard it's a woman's favorite. What do you think it is?"
The old man frowned, "Clothes and jewelry? That shouldn't be the case. We can't wear the same clothes as those barbarians. Those things are not marketable here."
"Haven't you heard of consumables? How can these clothes and jewelry be consumables?"
"This is too hard to guess. I've been doing business all my life. I want to see what kind of foreign goods can make so many people wait for it?"
They didn't have to wait long before there was a commotion coming from the port.
"Look at that ship in the distance, is that it?"
"It looks like it. Look at the flags flying above. It looks very strange."
"What's that? When they got off the boat, the man looked even weirder."
“…”
In a cabin at the port, Lu Ping and Shan Ke'an were standing on tiptoe, looking into the distance. "Now that so many people have come, will they buy into it?"
Shan Ke'an said, "You sound a little discouraged. Haven't you used them yourself before? Soap and perfumed soap each have their own merits. Don't you want to spend a little more money to enjoy them better?"
Lu Ping, "Of course I know this, but others don't know. Besides, the goods have just arrived, and they can't try them. Will they take them?"
Shan Ke'an reminded him softly, "Speak softly. Don't forget that this is your good brother and my cousin's business. Don't say such discouraging words."
Lu Ping, "..."
"You can sit still," Bai Jinglie looked at Gu Wenheng who remained calm in front of him, and felt a little admiration in his heart.
Gu Wenheng said calmly, "We have already made some arrangements. As long as these people are not stupid and can smell the profits, they will not mess it up."
Among them, there are not only the soaps that Jin Qianqian has spent so much time making, but also some glass products that he made using Bai Jinglie's site.
(The following is the ancient method of firing glass from Baidu. You can ignore it. If you want to know more, you can take a look. If you don’t like it, please don’t criticize me.
First, pour the prepared sand, soda ash, and limestone into the heating furnace, raise the temperature of the heating furnace to over 1800℃ and burn them until they melt;
After the sand is completely melted, turn on the heating furnace and pour the melted liquid onto the iron plate. After the liquid is slightly fixed, roll it with another iron plate.
After compaction, the fixed glass liquid is continuously calcined with fire;
After it is heated to a certain temperature, it is then placed in cold water to cool down, and the glass is ready.)
ps: I hope you will give it a miss! Just read for fun, don’t take it too seriously!
Although he didn't do many things himself, a few key things were still in his hands.
Bai Jinglie is full of confidence now. This will be his first pot of gold, and it is worth it for him to be busy during this period.
"Here we are, we've reached the shore." Lu Ping stretched his neck excitedly, wishing he could run to the deck to join in the fun.
