Traveling through ancient times, the empress insisted on having a child with me

"Hiss..." Liu Quan took a breath of cold air: "Master Ling, are you serious?"

"When did I ever brag?" Ling Chuan said, "But I will still take the goods in batches. I will still give you the deposit and sign the contract. Of course, this depends on what price Manager Liu can give. As long as the price is right, I will take 5,000 kilograms of goods every month from Manager Liu."

Liu Quan understood what Ling Chuan meant. If the price was not right, he would not buy the 5,000 kilograms of goods every month.

Five thousand kilograms of brown sugar. Guangfenghao may not be able to sell this much brown sugar in a year. If Lingchuan can get five thousand kilograms a month, he can really bargain with the supplier. With five thousand kilograms a month, he will be a big customer wherever he goes.

Liu Quan thought about it and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Mr. Ling is really an expert in business. I admire you. In this case, I will accept it first. One hundred and twenty coins per catty. What do you think, Mr. Ling?"

"Manager Liu is indeed a big businessman, generous." Ling Chuan gave him a thumbs up and praised him: "What about the deposit?"

Liu Quan waved his hand: "Forget about the deposit. How can I not trust Master Ling?"

Ling Chuan directly took out the silver and said, "Shopkeeper Liu is so generous, so I can't be stingy. I will take another 500 kilograms of goods today."

"Okay, all right." Liu Quan shouted at the top of his voice, "Xiao Qingzi, Master Ling has added another 500 kilograms of brown sugar. Go and call those lazy guys to hurry up."

Ling Chuan stopped a waiter who was passing by and took out a silver coin and put it in his hand: "You guys have worked hard, this little change will buy you all some tea."

"Oh, thank you Mr. Ling for the reward." When Xiao Qingzi saw that there was extra money, he bowed to Ling Chuan, and then he left as fast as the wind.

Ling Chuan stood up and was about to leave, but suddenly he thought of something and stopped: "Manager Liu, do you know white sugar?"

Liu Quan had spent more than a decade in Prince Ning's mansion, so he naturally knew: "I have heard of it."

"Manager Liu has really seen the world." Ling Chuan praised him and said, "If I have some sugar, would you like some?"

Liu Quan was shocked, wondering who this Mr. Ling was, how could he even get sugar? No wonder even the prince was so concerned about him. However, sugar was a rare commodity, and he was in the business of selling goods, so he couldn't miss it for both public and private reasons.

"Yes, yes, yes." Liu Quan leaned closer and asked softly, "But I would like to ask, Master Ling, this white sugar, could it be from the palace?"

Ling Chuan wanted to say that he could make sugar, but seeing Liu Quan's attitude, he became cautious: "Shopkeeper Liu, you don't have to worry about the origin of this sugar. I can only say that there is no problem. If you are interested, I will bring a few kilograms to show you some other day."

Liu Quan nodded: "Okay, as long as the sugar is fine, I'll take as much as Master Ling has."

"Okay, then let's make an agreement."

"Master Ling, please take care."

Ling Chuan was very happy, thinking that Shopkeeper Liu was very confident. He would take as much as he could and set the price higher when the time came. After all, this sugar was the only one in Dasheng and he could decide how much to sell it for.

Coming out of Guangfeng, Cao Huanchun asked in confusion, "Mr. Ling is amazing. I had to spend a lot of time to persuade Manager Liu to sell it to me at 200 coins per catty. You've only dealt with him two or three times, and he's already lowered the price to 120 coins. But isn't 5,000 catties of brown sugar a month a bit too much? Can we use it all?"

"You don't understand. Bargaining requires skill. With such a large volume, he can definitely force the supplier to lower the price. I even made up an excuse for him."

Ling Chuan explained: "As for the five thousand kilograms a month, I am still conservatively estimating. Next, I want the entire capital to only eat our Yunfuji snacks. How much brown sugar do you think we will use in a month?"

"The whole capital city eats our Yunfu Ji's dim sum?" Cao Huanchun was surprised.

"Hmm... that might be a bit too much, 70%, at least 70%."

Cao Huanchun wanted to say something, but he was not good at business, so he had to shut up.

In fact, what Lingchuan didn’t say was that the white sugar product has not yet been launched on the market, and by then, 5,000 kilograms may not be enough.

Back at Yunfu Ji, Ling Chuan directed the three one-armed men to put all the brown sugar into the vat, a total of 500 kilograms.

"Lao Cao, this workshop doesn't seem to be enough. Ask the craftsmen to come again and build a workshop over there."

"Still want to go?" Cao Huanchun remembered what Ling Chuan said on the way back, then swallowed and agreed.

Ling Chuan patted Cao Huanchun on the shoulder and said, "Just wait and see. When this batch of brown sugar is ready, I will make a big move. You will know then."

Cao Huanchun was scratching his head when Ling Chuan said, "There is one more thing. Go and recruit some people these days to serve as our Yunfuji's extra-staff salespeople."

“What is a salesperson?”

This time it was Ling Chuan's turn to scratch his head: "The ones who set up stalls on the roadside and hawk their wares along the street are called salesmen."

Cao Huanchun nodded: "That's easy. How many people do you need?"

Ling Chuan spread out his five fingers and said, "Let's recruit fifty people first. Their job is to sell Yun Fu Ji's dim sum, and 20% of the sales revenue will go to them."

"Recruiting so many people? Will this work?"

"Don't worry about that. There's one more thing. Go find a carpenter's workshop tomorrow and make some wooden boxes. They should be about a foot and a half long, a foot wide, and three feet high. There should be some more on top... Never mind. I'll do it myself."

Ling Chuan was thinking about what he was still missing when Lu Xi's voice came from the side: "Manager Ling is very dedicated. Why is he working so hard even though he is injured?"

Cao Huanchun and the others greeted him one after another, while Ling Chuan just chuckled and said, "There's nothing I can do. The requirements for marriage proposal are a bit high, and time is running out."

Lu Xi rolled her eyes at him and asked, "Are you feeling better?"

Ling Chuan moved his arm and said, "It's okay. It doesn't hurt much anymore. It just itches a lot."

"That means you'll be well soon." Lu Xi said, "I brought you some nourishing blood and qi. I'll ask Xiao Taohong to stew it for you later."

Cao Huanchun secretly winked at the three men and then slipped away quietly.

Ling Chuan is good in every way except that when he was flirting with Your Majesty, he didn't pay attention to the occasion at all. This is too despicable.

……

In the study of Prince Ning's mansion, Liu Quan met the prince again. After listening to his report, Prince Ning frowned and fell into deep thought.

The Yunfu Ji in San Tiao Lane houses the dead eunuch Cao Huanchun and a young businessman. What exactly is his niece planning?

That merchant said he had sugar to sell. Could it be that the palace was short of silver and had to sell off its things?

This matter can be used to write something about.

Prince Ning sneered and said to Liu Quan, "You did a good job. You should take as much sugar as Ling has. Also, if he has other things to sell that may have come out of the palace, you should take them as well."

Liu Quan was stunned: "Your Majesty, do you mean that the sugar came from the palace?"

"Don't worry about that." King Ning smiled and patted Liu Quan on the shoulder: "Work hard, I won't treat you unfairly in the future."

After these two slaps, Liu Quan felt like all the bones in his body had lightened by two pounds. He nodded rapidly and said, "It is my blessing to be able to serve the prince."

"Very good, go ahead. Remember to report any more news in time."
