Chapter 498 How about considering making money together?
Sang Zhixia's original intention was not to keep the secret mysterious, but he felt that things should be done in secrecy and not publicized, so he mentioned it casually, thinking of sending the things out on the day Jiang Yubai left.
However, Jiang Yubai is not someone who is willing to keep things secret at times.
For example, at this moment, he was chasing Sang Zhixia with curiosity and anticipation in his eyes. The eagerness in his words seemed as if he was afraid that Sang Zhixia would accidentally forget the gift she prepared for him. His eager look was very much like Xu Jinxi who wanted to eat candy but didn't dare to say it directly.
At first glance, it looks quite pitiful.
Sang Zhixia was not fooled by his appearance. She paused and said subtly, "It's not really a good thing, it's just..."
"Hey, sister-in-law, you are being too modest."
Jiang Yubai said without hesitation: "Who doesn't know that what you hold in your hand must be a rare and precious treasure? If it's worth you mentioning it specifically, then it must be right!"
Jiang Yubai spoke with such confidence that Sang Zhixia felt speechless after hearing it.
"Young Prince, aren't you afraid that I'm just bluffing and making a fool of myself?"
Jiang Yubai said firmly: "I believe my sister-in-law is not such a person!"
Sang Zhixia: "..."
Jiang Yubai rubbed his hands excitedly, his eyes sparkling: "Sister-in-law, can I know what my gift is now?"
Faced with such a pair of expectant eyes, Sang Zhixia couldn't help but lose her secrecy and said after a pause, "Okay."
"It's almost done here, shall we go back and talk about it?"
The things are at home, but I can’t get them out now.
Jiang Yubai originally had other things to do, but now he was not in a hurry and happily followed Sang Zhixia back.
Sang Zhixia really had no intention of teasing Jiang Yubai, and what he said was true.
Sang Zhixia had prepared for this matter for some time in advance. After repeatedly checking with Xu Yu to confirm that everything was correct, he told Jiang Yubai everything today.
Jiang Yubai quickly flipped through the neatly written plan in his hand, listening attentively to Sang Zhixia's words: "The young prince is generous, but there will always be a time when money runs out. All spending without earning is not a good idea."
"So why not consider partnering up to make money together?"
Maintaining an army is a money-burning business. Even if the King of Lingnan has a lot of savings, it cannot withstand the long-term consumption.
Sang Zhixia knew that Jiang Yubai had other ways to make money, but this did not affect Jiang Yubai's long-term situation of being short of money.
In Xu Yu's words, as long as there is an opportunity to take advantage, whether it is silver or food, Jiang Yubai will never turn it down.
Jiang Yubai was indeed very moved.
But while he was moved, Jiang Yubai also had his own concerns.
Jiang Yubai hesitated for a moment and said, "I've seen the soap flower and winemaking techniques that my sister-in-law mentioned. They are indeed surprisingly good craftsmanship. Such skills can be profitable in the northwest. As long as you can make the same things abroad, there will naturally be no shortage of ways to make money."
"In that case, my sister-in-law can clearly do it herself, so why bother with me?"
The secret recipe is held by Sang Zhixia. As long as the skills are not lost and there are enough people, it can be made and sold anywhere.
Not to mention the Northwest, it wouldn’t be surprising even if it was sold to Kyoto one day.
It is said that this matter is to get Jiang Yubai to join forces, but in fact, if you think about it carefully, it seems that Jiang Yubai is just taking advantage?
Jiang Yubai's confusion was written all over his face, visible at a glance.
Sang Zhixia laughed and said, "I can do it, but having more people doesn't seem to affect anything, right?"
Jiang Yubai smiled bitterly and said, "If there are more people, we have to give out more money. This has the most direct impact."
"Actually, don't worry, sister-in-law. If Xu Minghui is determined to open a shop in Lingnan, I will do my best to help him wherever I can. It's not necessary to do this."
From Jiang Yubai's perspective, Sang Zhixia was simply looking for an excuse to give him money.
It is okay to be greedy for money, and there is nothing wrong with human greed.
But if you want to take every last penny from your brother's purse, that would be a bit too much.
Jiang Yubai hesitated for a moment, trying to find a way to stop this matter, but Sang Zhixia said, "I am not worried about Xu Minghui's restrictions in Lingnan, but I also trust the young prince's promise."
"I had this idea, but it was just to make the road smoother. It's actually mutually beneficial."
Sang Zhixia didn't know how big the gap in silver and money needed for the future would be, nor could she calculate exactly how much was still missing, but it would definitely be a good idea to earn more.
Jiang Yubai always claims that he is just a small king living in the mountains of Lingnan, but in fact, his network of contacts across the Central Plains is unfathomable.
With such a huge network to protect us, at least the road ahead will be much smoother.
Besides, how could you possibly earn all the money by yourself?
In order to obtain Jiang Yubai's help in a more legitimate way, Sang Zhixia did not mind giving up some of the benefits.
Sang Zhixia didn't see the hesitation in Jiang Yubai's eyes. She slowly unfolded the plan on the table and said slowly, "The soap flower production technology and winemaking secrets have been tried and matured in the northwest. As long as we divide the manpower and find a suitable location, we can open a store there."
"Young Prince, please don't think this small business is disrespectful. If one store can earn over a thousand dollars a day, ten stores combined would earn ten thousand. The Central Plains is rich and affluent, and the daily turnover in the account book is more than ten thousand."
What's more, Sang Zhixia is sure that these two secret recipes are not available anywhere else and are absolutely exclusive.
A unique business will never have to worry about sales. As long as the product is made and the channel is suitable, you can expect to make a profit.
What Sang Zhixia gave Jiang Yubai was nothing else but a secret recipe that contained all the secrets of soap flowers and winemaking.
She provided the technology, and Jiang Yubai found the way.
By merging the two, they will be able to open a wide variety of shops of all sizes in many places that Sangzhixia currently cannot reach at the fastest speed in the short term.
The scattered baby's breath may seem inconspicuous at first glance, but when they trickle down into a stream, the total amount is always heart-moving.
Jiang Yubai still struggled, paused and said: "Actually, even if my sister-in-law doesn't say it, I can still provide convenience."
"But if that's the case, how can I confidently order the young prince around?"
Sang Zhixia thought it through and said with a smile: "There is an old saying in the village, if you want the cow to run fast, you must feed it grass."
"Whether the words are rough or not, it's just the way it is."
"What do you think, young prince?"
In fact, if given enough time, Sangzhixia will develop slowly and will eventually be able to open its own stores everywhere.
But Sang Zhixia didn't want to wait, and couldn't afford to wait.
The wind direction in Kyoto has changed. She needs to quickly accumulate an astonishing amount of wealth in the false illusion of peace before any changes occur, so as to ensure that she can safely overcome all the difficulties that may be encountered in the future.
In this situation, Jiang Yubai is actually the best choice at the moment.
