In ancient times, she gave birth to seven daughters and was divorced by her husband's family.

Bai Lu just found it funny.

You know, I bought these night pearls for 50 cents in the system mall.

Unexpectedly, it is now sold at a high price of two thousand taels of silver, and they are also asking me to do them a favor.

This night-shining pearl is a good thing. Bai Lu has been thinking that she can sell some of the night-shining pearls in her own shop and make a lot of money.

When selling it to outsiders, just sell it for 2500 or 3000 taels of silver each. There is no need to sell too many. It is better if the supply cannot meet the demand. The best is the one that cannot be obtained.

If we only sell 10 or 20 of them every month, there should be a lot of people buying them.

This is also a stable income! !

Bai Lu fell into deep thought.

Not long after, Bing Xin brought over the other night pearls.

Seeing the Night Pearl in front of them, these wealthy businessmen gathered around to touch it.

As for the size... they were about the same, so they each got one.

Afterwards, they held them in their hands as if they were pearls and treasures, and were reluctant to put them down. Several wealthy businessmen held them in their hands.

They said with a smile: "Now we can explain to our families when we go back. Thank you, White Lady!"

"Okay, okay, you're welcome."

Shangguan Fusheng turned his head and glanced at Bai Lu, then said to her, "Madam Bai Lu, I have something to tell you. Let's go to the small room alone."

"Business?"

"Ah."

Shangguan Fusheng and Bai Lu stood up immediately and went to a small room to talk alone.

The governor of Qingzhou was responsible for sending these wealthy businessmen away.

After sending it out, the Qingzhou prefect hurried over to handle government affairs.

Recently, he had deliberately handled the government affairs in advance so that he could greet these wealthy businessmen when Bai Lu came back, so that they could do business and make money.

Now that he has finally sent all these wealthy businessmen away, he has to continue to be busy.

......

In the small room, Shangguan Fusheng and Bai Lu sat down. They didn't exchange pleasantries. Shangguan Fusheng went straight to the point and said to Bai Lu, "Mrs. Bai is a straightforward person, so I...will be frank and not beat around the bush."

"We get along very well now. You and I hit it off right away, and my sister also hits it off right away with your family. Since we get along so well, and you sold the Night Pearl to me, it was also a favor to me. So I will do you a favor, and we will be even after this."

Bai Lu nodded, and then Shangguan Fusheng continued, "As for Qingzhou and Liangzhou, due to differences in local environment, there are things that Qingzhou has but Liangzhou doesn't; and things that Liangzhou has but Qingzhou doesn't."

"For example, there are bathhouses in Liangzhou, but not in Qingzhou. If you, White Lady, want to make money, you can open a bathhouse in Qingzhou."

He changed the subject again, "We did think about opening a bathhouse in Qingzhou before, but we felt that the bathhouses in Liangzhou could make money, but the bathhouses in Qingzhou were unlikely to make money...so none of us wealthy businessmen opened one."

Bai Lu was stunned for a moment, then smiled at Shangguan Fusheng and said, "If Liangzhou has it, but Qingzhou doesn't, it means it's not profitable. If it was profitable, Qingzhou would have had it long ago."

Shangguan Fusheng nodded, and then said to Bai Lu: "Some wealthy businessmen opened bathhouses in Qingzhou before, but that was more than ten or twenty years ago. At that time, those wealthy businessmen opened bathhouses in Qingzhou, but they didn't make any money."

He shook his head and said to Bai Lu, "And I lost everything I invested."

"It's just..." Shangguan Fusheng hesitated and smiled at Bai Lu, "The reason why we want you to open a bathhouse, Lady Bai, and why we specifically tell you this is because many Qingzhou merchants and common people who are close to Liangzhou will definitely go to the bathhouses in Liangzhou first if they go to Liangzhou."

Bai Lu was stunned for a moment, then she heard Shangguan Fusheng laugh and say, "Since...they went to the bathhouse in Liangzhou right away, why don't they want to go in Qingzhou?"

Bai Lu smiled at Shangguan Fusheng and said, "That's because, of course, this is Liangzhou's specialty. They all want to go and experience it, but they can't adapt to Liangzhou's bathhouses. They go there all the time."

"First of all, people in Qingzhou are quite shy. If they go to a bathhouse in Liangzhou and meet naked, they will be shy even if they are both women or men."

"Secondly, there are very skilled bath scrubbers in Liangzhou's bathhouses. When they rub, your body will feel very painful, but after the pain passes, you will feel comfortable. However, not everyone can endure this pain. Men can endure it, but women can hardly endure it."

"Also, this is related to the geographical environment. Liangzhou is too cold in winter, but Qingzhou is not that cold. So if people from Liangzhou take a hot bath, they will feel refreshed and clean, and they will have a comfortable feeling. But... people from Qingzhou don't have this feeling."

"They have never experienced the cold, so how can they think that hot baths are good?"

Shangguan Fusheng listened to Bai Lu's words and was moved. As expected, he was not wrong about Bai Lu. Bai Lu was indeed a powerful businessman. She could analyze all the pros and cons of these businesses.

Shangguan Fusheng nodded continuously, and then heard Bai Lu say with a smile, "Master Shangguan, what exactly do you want to say? Why not just say it directly?"

"Why bother to fool me with this bathhouse nonsense?"

"Aren't you just trying to test me? What do you want to say?"

Shangguan Fusheng smiled and apologized to Bai Lu: "I'm so sorry, Lady Bai, I didn't mean to test you. It's just... I need to see if you are a smart person."

"If you are a smart person, I will help you with this business. If you are not a smart person, why should I help you with this business?"

Shangguan Fusheng continued to smile at Bai Lu and said, "This bathhouse is a specialty of Liangzhou. We all know that when people go to Liangzhou to experience the bath, it's nothing more than experiencing a specialty. It's enough to do it once or twice. If it's more than that, they won't be able to adapt."

"So, I plan to open a store in Qingzhou that specializes in experiencing the characteristics of various places..."

"For example, Liangzhou's bathing, Liangzhou's pimple soup, and pot-fried pork, Qingzhou's massage, Qingzhou's mutton dumplings... Zhaozhou's charcoal-grilled chicken rack... We have all the local specialties. If you like, come and have a look."
