My parents are both dead, I rely on fishing and farming to support my younger siblings

Seeing that Han Mei was about to pay the deposit, Song Mengyun hurriedly stopped Han Mei.

Han Mei looked at Song Mengyun, somewhat confused.

Song Mengyun smiled and asked, "Princess Yongning, are you still angry with me and don't want to sell the soap to us?"

In Song Mengyun's opinion, the fact that no one was making soap was just a cover-up because they didn't want to sell it to them.

Or maybe they want to raise the price. Song Mengyun has seen this kind of thing many times.

Gu Lili was too lazy to explain and said with a fake smile, "Princess Mengyun can think whatever she wants. Don't block my way. I have to go to work."

Gu Lili was too lazy to waste any more words talking to Song Mengyun.

However, Song Mengyun stopped Gu Lili.

"What if we are willing to pay three times the price for the soap?" Song Mengyun asked.

When Gu Lili heard this, her heart was immediately filled with joy, but she did not show it on her face.

When Han Mei heard this, she was shocked and wanted to stop Song Mengyun.

However, it was difficult to say it. But when she thought about Gu Lili and Song Mengyun soap, she knew that even if Song Mengyun offered a high price, Gu Lili would not be able to afford the soap.

Gu Lili looked at Song Mengyun with a smile but didn't say anything.

Song Mengyun just thought that Gu Lili felt that the price he offered was not enough to impress her.

She calculated that they could sell a bar of soap for ten taels of silver, so even if they only got seven or eight taels, they would still make a profit.

"How about five taels?" Song Mengyun asked.

The purpose of her trip was to buy soap, so there was no reason for her to return empty-handed.

Gu Lili nodded in satisfaction and asked, "I wonder how much County Lord Mengyun wants?"

Han Meimengyun thought that Gu Lili would really agree.

However, it was obviously too late to stop Song Mengyun.

Han Mei quickly tugged at Song Mengyun's sleeve without making a sound and said, "Princess Mengyun, maybe we can wait for a few months?"

If you wait for a few months, you can earn at least an extra four taels of silver.

Song Mengyun pushed him away and said angrily, "What do you know? You've been waiting for a few months, and the business opportunities have been taken by others!"

Song Mengyun decided to monopolize the market by selling soap at a high price so that other merchants would no longer be able to buy soap from Gu Lili.

Therefore, once the goods are brought to Beijing, the price can be raised accordingly.

After all, soap could be sold for ten taels of silver per piece, and they also used this method.

However, Han Mei, who has been working in the business world for decades, felt that something was wrong. Although this was the truth, things always seemed not that simple.

"I want five thousand bars of soap! I wonder if Princess Yongning can give them to me?" Song Mengyun regained his proud attitude as he did when they first met.

When Gu Lili heard this, her heart blossomed with joy.

Five thousand yuan, that's twenty-five thousand taels of silver.

If she purchased the soap from the mall, she could make a net profit of at least 24,000 taels!

Tsk tsk tsk!

Sure enough, there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests.

Han Mei was about to speak to dissuade her, but was interrupted by Gu Lili's voice.

"Deal, let's write the contract now, and you can bring the money to pick up the goods tomorrow. I will sell you the soap that others ordered before."

Han Mei suddenly felt a pain in her heart and almost fell to the ground.

Song Mengyun and she were originally partners, so the bulk of the payment for the soap still had to be paid by Han Mei.

Due to her status, Han Mei didn't dare to stop it.

It's like a dumb person eating Coptis chinensis and unable to express the pain.

If she had known earlier, she would not have thought of hooking up with Song Mengyun. She always felt like she was shooting herself in the foot.

I hope I don’t lose money when I get the soap this time.

Gu Lili quickly drafted the contract and the three of them signed it.

After signing and agreeing with Gu Lili on the time to get the soap, Han Mei and Song Mengyun returned to the academy.

"Princess, I always feel that five thousand yuan is a bit too much."

In the guest room of the academy, Han Mei asked Song Mengyun cautiously.

In fact, five thousand yuan is not a lot at all, but the price is really too expensive.

Han Mei knew that Song Mengyun was brainless.

That's why I thought of bringing her in to do business together.

However, unexpectedly, Song Mengyun was not only brainless but also impulsive.

The silver that could have bought more soap can now only buy five thousand pieces.

Han Mei almost suspected that Song Mengyun's brain had been kicked by a donkey.

Although monopolizing the market can make money, the risks are also huge.

Song Mengyun rolled her eyes at Han Mei and said, "On the way here, didn't you keep telling me that I must buy more soap to bring back to the capital? Why, I spent so much effort to buy 5,000 bars of soap, and you don't dare to take it?"

Han Mei gave a smile that was uglier than crying.

"People's women don't dare."

Before she came, she said she would buy more soap and bring it back to Beijing.

But the original words at that time were to suppress Gu Lili and buy soap at a low price.

I can’t suppress Gu Lili now, and it’s impossible to buy soap at a low price, but I can’t raise the price myself either!

She had never seen anyone who did business like Song Mengyun.

Han Mei rolled her eyes and continued, "I don't dare, but the money I have is used for other things, so I'm afraid I can't come up with the 20,000 taels of silver."

Han Mei thought, since she couldn't persuade Song Mengyun, she couldn't take the risk herself.

Song Mengyun said angrily, "You are a wealthy businessman from Nanyue State, but you can't even come up with a few tens of thousands of taels of silver. Don't tell others about it or you will be laughed at!"

Song Mengyun's scolding made Han Mei feel ashamed.

Of course she could come up with the money, but she didn't want to take such a big risk.

"The silver in my hand was taken away by my old lady, so..." Han Mei explained.

Song Mengyun looked down upon Han Mei more and more.

When he came to please me, he also said that he would help me make money.

You have the nerve to talk about it when you take out just a few tens of thousands of taels.

Song Mengyun now almost suspects that the title of Nanyue country's wealthy businessman was probably falsely spread by the Han family.

"How much do you have?" Song Mengyun asked.

Han Mei thought for a while and said, "Five thousand taels."

When Song Mengyun heard that Han Mei only had five thousand taels, she almost got furious.

However, they did state in the contract that if either party went back on their word and failed to deliver the soap or pay for the goods, they would have to compensate the other party with five thousand taels of silver.

"Okay! I'll find a way to deal with the remaining 20,000 taels! But, by then, you can only share the profit from the 1,000 bars of soap." Song Mengyun said with disdain.

The silver she had in the money shop was probably about 20,000 taels.

He will go to the silver shop in Donghai Town to exchange it later. When the soap is sold for double the price, Song Mengyun can get his money back immediately, and even make a lot of money.

Han Mei's face froze when she heard what Song Mengyun said.

Although she doesn't want to take risks, she still wants to make money.
