Chapter 459 Technology Investment
How could the people present not trust Ling Yi?
Ling Yi personally selected them to have this job!
After arriving here, they are well fed, warmly clothed and well housed, which is completely different from the life at home in Blackwater City. Now the boss doesn't mind the long journey and is willing to take their wages back home. What else is there to be unwilling about?
The sooner we send it back, the sooner our family won’t have to worry about food and clothes for the winter!
"Thank you, boss. I'm willing to spend all my wages before the New Year in advance and send them to my family."
"I want one too."
"Me too."
......
Amidst the voices coming one after another, it turned out that everyone was willing to give back all their income earned before the New Year.
Shen Qing understood.
The people Ling Yi chose were not only poor, but also had harmonious families. They were the kind of people who were kind and cared about their families.
Jiang Xiangbei carefully recorded the amount for each person, and on the way back he asked worriedly, "Mom, you said there's a team going to Blackwater City at the end of the month, who is it?
Can we trust it?"
When it comes to money, you can't let anyone bring it unless they are absolutely trustworthy!
Although for their own family, they can afford to compensate for the money if it is really swallowed up, and it will not even be considered a serious injury, but for the family of their clerk in Blackwater City, it is life-saving money and they cannot afford any mistakes!
The team I trust the most is my own team, but I don’t know where the village team is delivering the goods now. How does my mother know that they will go to Blackwater City at the end of the month?
Then there are the escort agencies. You can pay some silver and the money will be taken over...but there is no guarantee that there will be any that go to Blackwater City.
And as for the Huo family, did mother know in advance that the Huo family would go to Blackwater City at the end of this month?
Shen Qing interrupted the fourth brother's random thoughts: "To open two branches, we need 70 to 80 people. The cattle and sheep at Sumu Ranch are not enough, so we have to buy the rest from Blackwater City.
With so many people and animals, Ling Yi will definitely send someone he trusts. I suspect there are at least two of them among the escorts. I feel very relieved to leave the money with them."
Jiang Xiangbei suddenly realized.
How could he forget this!
In the past, when we sent people and things over, they were always unfamiliar faces, but this time there are so many of them, so to be cautious, of course we will send people we trust.
He would feel at ease even if the silver was handed over to any one of Yingyi and the others!
*
As it turned out, Shen Qing guessed right.
Ying Yi was indeed among the people who came, but what he didn't guess correctly was that Ling Yi came secretly.
In the manor, Ling Yi said with an unnatural expression: "I am worried! Aunt, you want 85 people and a large number of cattle and sheep at once. Of course I have to come here to see what's going on."
To be honest, before coming, he was worried that his aunt would want so many people and animals at once in order to help the people of Blackwater City and him, regardless of her own strength and situation.
Along the way, he thought of countless ways to persuade his aunt.
Tell her not to be anxious or worried, to eat one bite at a time and to walk one step at a time...
After arriving and hearing what Liu Cuihua and others said, he felt that he was overthinking.
My aunt is much more thoughtful than him, and is much more capable and decisive. She simply has the strength!
Shen Qing didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Are you relieved now?"
Ling Yi pursed his lips and remained silent.
Shen Qing thought of the wages and said happily, "But it's just right that you're here. You can take the advance wages that the guys received back to their families."
Ling Yi's eyes widened slightly, and he asked in surprise: "Can I get an advance payment?"
Shen Qing smiled and said, "I trust the people you introduced. Besides, don't you have the ones staying in Blackwater Town? Even if they ran away with my money, you can find them, right?"
Afraid that Ling Yi would find it troublesome to distribute the silver back, she added, "I'll give you an advance to take back with you, so you won't have to worry about freezing or starving to death this winter."
Ling Yi: ...He just knows that his aunt is doing this for him!
It is true.
"Okay, don't worry, auntie, leave this to me."
Shen Qing was relieved.
Ling Yi had suffered enough from being controlled by others in his childhood. When he was in the capital, he could only secretly cultivate his own people. But when he came to Blackwater City, he selected talents from all kinds of ways and cultivated his confidants.
So he had a lot of capable people under him, and for small matters like distributing silver and money, he could just pick someone and assign them to the task.
The people brought by Ling Yi had to be sent to the branch first to familiarize themselves with the environment and also needed training. Shen Qing was very busy for a while.
Ling Yi disguised himself as a servant and followed Shen Qing. While he was busy, he also ate both kinds of hot pot.
It's simply stunning!
The copper furnace hotpot is a delicious dish of beef and mutton, paired with chive flower sauce that is spicy and salty to relieve the greasiness, and paired with sesame sauce, it tastes even more tender and mellow!
It was clearly the beef and mutton he often ate, but with a different dipping sauce. How could the taste be so different?
Moreover, you can eat more after cutting it into thin slices than when eating meat in big mouthfuls. You can eat it while rinsing it, and you will eat a lot without realizing it.
There is also cream egg cake, which is actually made from something extracted from milk. It is delicate and smooth when you put it in your mouth. You don’t even need to bite the snow-white cream on it. Just take a light sip and it goes into your mouth. It really melts in your mouth!
Although he doesn't like sweets, he has to praise it and say that it is completely different from other pastries. No wonder his aunt had to ask in advance so that she could reserve a piece for him.
I originally thought that the copper furnace hotpot was delicious enough, but when I thought about the spicy hotpot, it was full of offal, fishy and noisy flavors, so even if it was delicious, it would only be limited.
The slap in the face came so quickly!
He didn't know how to describe it, but his mouth felt hot and his tongue was numb after eating it, but his mind told him he wanted to eat more.
An idea flashed through his mind, and he asked in the carriage back to the city, "Auntie, do you think it's possible to open the hot pot shop somewhere else?"
In the shaking car, Shen Qing looked up at Ling Yi and asked, "Do you want to drive?"
Ling Yi shook his head directly and said affirmatively: "Auntie can drive to Blackwater City. With me here, no one will dare to cause trouble."
This is my aunt's livelihood, why would he plot against her?
"Although Blackwater City is bitterly cold, there are many wealthy merchants coming and going. They are very generous with their food. I think this business can make money."
Wherever there are poor people, there are rich people, let alone an entire city with tens of thousands of people.
Shen Qing already had a vague idea in her mind, and she continued: "If you want to open up, it's not impossible. I can teach you."
"No, auntie, really! You open a shop and can help buy beef and mutton from the herdsmen. This is already very good for me." Ling Yi replied without hesitation.
Shen Qing's smile widened, and he said gently, "Don't be so quick to refuse. Listen to my proposal."
Ling Yi was stunned. Is Auntie serious?
"Of course I'm not teaching you for nothing. We're like a partnership. You'll be responsible for the clerks, the shop, and the specific operations. I'll just provide my skills. But don't worry, I'll take 10% of the profits. How about that?"
Originally, they thought about franchising, but Ling Yi is a prince, and having him as a backer would be good for other shops.
Holding shares is equivalent to investing her technology. Compared with the one-time franchise fee, the profit sharing is more long-term and continuous.
