Gao Miao and Gao Yunting don't have to go to the academy for the time being. The dean helped them contact the academy in the capital and asked them to come to Beijing in the spring after the New Year to study there and then take part in the spring examination on time.

The Spring Examination is held every three years. Since it was held last year, we have to wait two years.

Gao Miao is the top case in the area.

The headmaster wrote a letter of recommendation to see if he could be admitted to the Imperial College.

He also wrote a recommendation letter for Gao Yunting, but the possibility of Gao Yunting was not very high.

The two of them studied on their own at home.

However, just as Xie said, the matchmakers who came to the two families to propose marriages were almost demolishing the threshold.

Gao Miao was so confused that he simply said that Gao Zhi wanted to collect herbs and he would go into the mountains with Gao Zhi. When Gao Yunting heard this, he immediately asked to go with him without saying anything.

There is nothing the family can do.

Everyone is given top priority for what Gao Zhi wants to do.

The three of them were preparing to go up the mountain with Xiaobai and Xiaohui.

There are guests at home.

Shi Chao came to Xie on behalf of Shijiabao to discuss cooperation.

Xie alone cannot handle this cooperation.

Gao Miao looked at Gao Zhi, "Jiaojiao, can you wait a few days for your herbs?"

Gao Zhi didn't have to go up the mountain to collect herbs, he just wanted to give Gao Miao and Gao Yunting a few days of peace and quiet.

"sure!"

Gao Miao invited Shi Chao into the main room.

Xie and Gao Zhi were both in the main room greeting guests.

Gao Miao pretended not to know Shi Chao and asked, "Where are you from, brother? How do you know about our Xie's workshop?"

Shi Chao had received Shi Lin's letter, in which Shi Lin reminded him that when he met Gao Miao in Lao Zhuang Village, he must pretend not to know him and not let anyone know that they had known each other.

Shi Lin also explained the other details clearly in the letter.

Shi Chao: "Excuse me, are you Mr. Gao Miao?"

Gao Miao nodded, "Yes."

"Oh, then I have found the right person." Shi Chao smiled, looking at the Xie family and their two children and explained, "I am one of the managers of Shijiabao. I came to Laozhuang Village on the orders of our lord to discuss cooperation with the people of Xie's workshop.

We know Lao Zhuang Village and Xie’s Workshop because of Mr. Si Ke.

The sir has done a favor for our castle lord and mentioned your workshop.

Only then did our fortress owner know that Xianglan brand products were produced from Xie’s workshop in Lao Zhuang Village.

Our castle owner has always liked Xianglan brand products and has always wanted to cooperate with you, but he didn't know your exact address. This time, thanks to Mr.'s help, we were able to find this place."

Shi Chao said this and took out a letter from his arms.

"Mr. Gao, this is the letter that the gentleman wrote to you."

Gao Miao took the envelope and opened it immediately. It was indeed the old man's handwriting.

Gao Miao was a little surprised.

Could it be that the old man went out for Shijiabao?

This letter was not from him.

After reading the letter, Gao Miao handed it to Gao Zhi.

Gao Zhi finished reading it quickly with doubts.

After reading it, Gao Zhi wanted to give the old man a thumbs up and give him a thumbs up.

So cool!

After going out, he quietly helped them find a backer and also helped them find a way to sell the saltpeter in the back mountain.

Shijiabao is very powerful. It is the number one fortress in the world and also has the title of the richest man in the world.

It's not that their wealth will not last for more than three generations, but that they have been wealthy for more than ten generations.

From this we can see that Shijiabao became rich not only by relying on good business management.

It is easy to create wealth, but the most difficult thing is to keep it and pass it on from generation to generation.

Gao Zhi was very interested in the lord of Shijiabao.

Shi Chao is just a manager, but there are many things he can handle independently. There are many things he can do without going through the higher-ups, just a nod from his head.

This time when Shi Chao came, he wanted all the products of Xie’s workshop besides saltpeter.

And in the future, new products from Xie’s Workshop.

Shi Chao looked at Gao Zhi, "Is this the second young lady?"

Gao Zhi cupped his hands and said, "That's right."

Shi Chao immediately smiled, "The master said that the second young lady has superb medical skills. In addition to knowing medical skills, she can also develop some skin care products.

We have a lot of shops in the capital, and the ladies from the wealthy families there all like to maintain their appearance.

I wonder if the second lady can cooperate with us. The second lady can give us the recipe with confidence.

We will find someone to produce it, and the profits will be split 50-50 between the second girl and us at Shijiabao.

Our fortress lord has ordered that no matter if we cooperate with the second young lady or Xie's workshop, if they give us the recipe and ask us to produce, we will split the profits 50-50."

Shi Chao seemed to know that Gao Zhi would not agree to this division, so he told the Lord of Shibao what he had said in advance.

Gao Zhi felt like money had fallen from the sky.

The old man is so awesome!

Since the other party has said so, it would be pretentious if you don’t take the money even if you have it.

Gao Zhi glanced at Gao Miao, then looked at Shi Chao, "Brother Shi, let's discuss this first. You take a rest and drink some tea. We'll be back soon."

Shi Chao stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation, "Please go ahead!"

Gao Zhi and Gao Miao came out of the main room one after another and went into the next room.

Gao Zhi asked: "Is it reliable? Can you trust it?"

Gao Miao nodded: "Okay!"

Gao Zhi no longer had any doubts.

"Okay! Then we will cooperate with him. It is not appropriate to add too many things to our village.

I might as well give him the recipe, so that we can make money and worry less."

Why not?

Gao Miao nodded, "Okay! Listen to Jiaojiao."

The two returned to the main room.

Gao Zhi: "Brother Shi, I agree to cooperate with you. I will provide the recipe, and you will find ways to produce and sell it.

However, we need to discuss the cooperation agreement together."

The agreement must be written very clearly. She is responsible for coming up with the prescription, and the other party is responsible for production and sales, but the quality must be guaranteed.

Gao Zhi was afraid that the quality could not be guaranteed if she let the other party produce directly, so she planned to let Shi Chao send someone to learn.

Shi Chao: "That's for sure! What are the Second Miss's requirements, what kind of guarantees do she need from us, and how should we cooperate? We can all work out the most appropriate way.

Cooperation is long-term, so both parties must be happy and make money together, which is a win-win situation. "

"Yes, yes, yes! That's the truth." Gao Zhi smiled and nodded. Her graceful words and actions showed a maturity and stability that did not belong to her age.

“I will give you the recipe, but I still need Brother Shi’s cooperation. You can select the right people to come here to learn, and when they have learned it, they can go back and teach others.

Only in this way can I believe in the quality.

The quality of the product determines how far it can go and it is also related to the reputation of both of our companies.

In the business world, reputation is the most important thing.

Brother Shi, don't you agree? "

As Gao Zhi spoke, he kept looking at Shi Chao, not missing any subtle expressions on his face, even the changes in his eyes.

Shi Chao is a shrewd person, but he has a clear gaze and appears to be an upright person.

Besides, Gao Miao said that the people the old man found were trustworthy.

That should be fine!

Shi Chao lowered his head, as if thinking about something.
