After my mind was read, I became the emperor's favorite

Fang Xing had just left the Yan family's farm and had spent some very comfortable days there.

With money in his pocket, he opened an ice cream and milk tea shop.

He had a nice idea: one tael of silver per share, and the profit would be 80%.

However, when he actually tried it, he immediately got stuck.

In ancient times, it was extremely difficult to make and store ice. Most of the ice was collected in winter and then stored in ice cellars.

Therefore, the price of ice cubes directly accounts for 70% of the selling price, and milk and fruit are not easy to obtain.

He has no connections, no connections, and no backing, so there is no way he can get the price.

In fact, Cui Mingruo’s high price tag is mostly due to the high cost.

If there weren't a few powerful fish in the pond, I really wouldn't make much money.

Therefore, Fang Xing's first store suffered a disastrous defeat, but he was able to ensure the family's expenses every day and save one or two taels of silver.

Even this was enough for Fang's parents to be quite satisfied.

After the He family milk tea shop opened after Qi Mingze sold the recipe, not only his own shop, but even Cui Mingruo's ice cream shop had its market share taken away from him.

The new ice-making method provided by Qi Mingze can not only make ice quickly, but also has a very low cost.

The Yan family directly became the ice supplier of the He family. In addition, the Yan family had many cattle and sheep raised in the mountains, so dairy products were also provided in an endless supply.

Although they increased the price several times based on the cost, it was still good value for money compared to other suppliers the He family found.

In this way, the He family's costs were directly reduced by two-thirds, and they did not hesitate to start a price war with Cui Mingruo's ice cream shop.

The price tag is half of that of the ice cream shop, plus the promotional model provided by Zhenxiu Pavilion.

Delicious, inexpensive, and varied, it adds a unique touch to the hot summer.

As soon as Hejia Milk Tea Shop opened, it snatched away all the customers for ice cream and milk tea.

The ice cream shop and Fang Xing's shop were completely deserted, and they couldn't sell even a single order every day.

They can only make ends meet and have to pay labor costs and house rent in vain.

However, Fang Xing still did not give up. He felt that if Qin could build such a huge business empire with his plan, why couldn't he do the same.

Unfortunately, he didn't seem to have enough money and didn't have enough manpower, so he could only seek cooperation from others.

However, he will learn his lesson this time and negotiate the price and profit in advance, and he will not let anyone take advantage of his excellent plan for nothing.

After extensive research and repeated considerations, he set his target on the Yang family, one of the eight great families.

He spent money to find a way to contact the manager of the Yang family and asked him to introduce him.

Coincidentally, this manager was Yang Xin, who had used tricks at the auction but was badly countered by Qi Mingze's bundling sales method.

In the past few days, the Yang family has been targeted and tripped up by various forces that failed to buy the beverage recipe.

Since they were in the wrong, they could only endure the anger passively and had to apologize and sell favors.

Now Yang Xin, the culprit of this incident, is in big trouble.

He was severely bullied by the managers and shopkeepers, and even the head of the family called him over and reprimanded him.

How could he not be tempted when he met Fang Xing, the man who claimed that all the planning of Zhenxiu Pavilion came from him?

This way he could take revenge on Zhenxiu Pavilion for their scheme against him and also save face in front of the head of the family.

The two hit it off immediately, and Fang Xing was brought before Yang Chengyu, the head of the Yang family.

Unlike Yang Xin who looks like a calculating and cunning businessman, Yang Chengyu looks like an amiable elder.

Fang Xing's first impression of him was that this man was definitely more generous than the one surnamed Qin, and then he approached him casually and wanted to shake hands with him.

"Hello Mr. Yang, I'm Fang Xing."

Yang Xin was so frightened by this that he almost lost his soul. Just as he was about to step forward to stop him, Yang Chengyu's eyes nailed him to the spot.

How come this person doesn't know any etiquette? He's just like that when he meets me.

He actually dared to do this in front of the head of the family. He really doesn't know what he is doing.

Fortunately, the master of the house was magnanimous and did not take it to heart. Otherwise, not only would he not be able to redeem himself for his crime, but he would also be implicated by him.

Yang Chengyu didn't care about Fang Xing's "ignorance" at all. As long as the other party was a talented person, it didn't matter if he was a little ignorant of the world.

The more such a person is, the easier it is to control him.

Thinking that the prosperity of Zhenxiu Pavilion would soon be replaced by the Yang family, he couldn't help but smile more sincerely and reached out to shake Fang Xing's hand.

"It is a great honor for Yang to be able to invite Mr. Fang here today."

The two smiled at each other, and then began to communicate with each other with their own ulterior motives.

"..."

"..."

One is an old fox who has cultivated into a spirit, and the other is a rookie. How could Fang Xing be a match for Yang Chengyu?

Yang Chengyu kept talking about other things, chatting about everything under the sun, and trying to find out about Fang Xing's situation indirectly, but he just wouldn't get to the point.

After a long conversation of questions and answers, Fang Xing couldn't stand it anymore and directly revealed the purpose of his trip.

"I am the provider of all the solutions for the Treasure Pavilion. I think Mr. Yang should know my value."

"Oh, excuse me for asking, Mr. Fang is such a talented person, how could the Treasure Pavilion be willing to let you leave?"

Thinking of this, Fang Xing was filled with anger. The Qin man was really a stingy person and would never give a penny.

If he had been given more benefits, he wouldn't have run into so many obstacles.

"There's nothing to hide. It's just that Mr. Qin, the owner behind the Treasure Pavilion, is too stingy.

You made so much money with my idea, but you only gave me three thousand taels."

In fact, Fang Xing also had some scheming in mind. This was to explain the reason why he broke up with Zhenxiu Pavilion.

He also reminded Yang Chengyu not to be too stingy when making his offer, otherwise with his ability, he could still find another buyer.

"Mr. Qin is truly clueless. He didn't even bother trying to retain such an outstanding talent like Fang Xiaoyou, leaving you completely disappointed in him.

Don't worry, my friend. My Yang family is absolutely generous to our allies.

As long as you can replicate the success of Zhenxiu Pavilion, even splitting the profits in half is fine."

Yang Chengyu's promise was quite tempting, and Fang Xing was stunned by his generosity.

In fact, he did say this, but since Fang Xing was powerless, how could he be asked to fulfill his promise?

The most important thing now is to do the same as Mr. Qin, to keep him steady and get all the useful information out of him.

As Fang Xing had imagined, he was tempted by the benefits and told Yang Chengyu all his business knowledge.

"...Okay, Mr. Yang, these are the general business plans and management plans.

When the actual operation begins, we will analyze the specific issues if any problems arise.”

"Friend Fang, since we are already close allies, there is no need for you to hide anything anymore.

Tell me all the business plans so that I can better plan the next steps.

If you find it troublesome, you can just repeat all the strategies of the Treasure Pavilion to me."

Yang Chengyu narrowed his eyes and looked at him, obviously thinking that he was hiding something.

Fang Xing scratched his head and looked back in confusion.

"That's what I said to Mr. Qin. He also established the current Treasure Pavilion, Snack Shop, Colorful Clothes Shop, Jinghong Pavilion and Yuejixuan based on my ideas."

"What! Are you the same person behind all these companies?" Yang Xin next to him screamed.

This was something Yang Chengyu had never expected. These treasure pots actually belonged to one person, which made him even more excited.
