Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

What Wei Wu couldn't understand was, what was wrong with Chang Mao's brain? Why did he have to come and provoke him?

Last time the Academy of Science and Technology held a presentation, that guy jumped out to cause trouble.

For Lan Yu's sake, I didn't bother with him, but just let Lan Yu teach him a lesson.

Wei Wu didn't care what happened afterwards, but given Lan Yu's character, he guessed that he was probably beaten up.

But this guy didn't learn from his mistakes and even dared to bring bad luck upon himself?

Last time, Lan Yu probably held back, but this time, Lan Yu might really beat him to death.

Thinking of this, Wei Wu suddenly remembered something. Lan Yu seemed to have been sent to Shandong to cause trouble.

Perhaps it was because Lan Yu left Beijing that Chang Mao wanted to find some excuse to disgust himself.

Otherwise, if Lan Yu was in the capital, he would definitely be beaten to death so that he would never dare to do it again.

However, since Lan Yu was out on business, Wei Wu didn't mind helping him teach this nephew a lesson.

Thinking of this, Wei Wu turned his head and looked at Huang Tianfeng.

"Old Huang, take her away! But don't let her go. We'll need her for something later."

"It's the Marquis!"

Huang Tianfeng bowed slightly, then called two people to drag Mother Wang out of the private room.

Only after Mother Wang was taken away did Wei Wu start talking about business again.

"How has the Chamber of Commerce developed during my absence? And Qingxia, are there any problems with the snowflake candy business?"

Hearing Wei Wu's question, Qingxia spoke first this time:

"Thanks to your greeting, young master, all those who were wandering around the workshop have been captured by the Jinyiwei."

"But they were just businessmen sent to inquire about the formula. They don't have any deep background, so the problem isn't that big."

"Also, the snowflake candy business has been booming lately. Even people from the surrounding big cities come to us to buy our goods."

"It's just that our production volume is currently insufficient to meet demand. People outside the capital are already offering high prices for snowflake candy."

After listening to Qingxia's description, Wei Wu nodded with satisfaction, and then asked another question.

"What about the profits? After the novelty period wears off, do the profits drop?"

After Wei Wu finished speaking, Qingxia organized her words in her mind before speaking:

“There was indeed a slight decline at the beginning, but by then our snowflake candy had already spread to other major cities.”

"And I heard that some people were buying at high prices, so they reduced the supply to the capital and secretly shipped it outside to sell."

"The less goods there are in the capital, the higher the price outside. During the few months you were away, the total profit was as high as 250,000 taels of silver."

I have to say that the environment can indeed change a person. In the past, Qingxia was very well-behaved in front of Wei Wu.

But now, after only a few months in business, he has already mastered the hunger marketing tactics so well.

Although the output of sugar still needs to be increased, there should be no problem in supplying the surrounding cities.

As a result, Qingxia deliberately controlled the inventory in Beijing, forcing prices outside to rise, and then secretly shipped the goods to make more money.

Moreover, when talking about this method and the final benefits, Qingxia's face showed a slightly proud expression.

This is completely different from her previous self.

But to be honest, she should be proud of herself. After all, she was able to earn 250,000 taels of silver in just a few months.

Although sugar is indeed a best-seller, Qingxia's ability to make so much money is also inseparable from her management skills.

Just when Wei Wu was about to praise her, Qingxia spoke again:

“I have kept 50,000 taels of the profits from the past few months for working capital, and I have given the remaining 200,000 taels of silver to my wife.

"Master, I plan to expand the production capacity of our workshop. Hoarding goods and selling them at high prices is not a long-term solution. It's better to be more stable."

As soon as Qingxia finished speaking, Wei Wu nodded approvingly.

"Since I'm handing this business over to you, I trust you. You don't need to ask me what to do. Just make your own decision."

After saying that, Wei Wu turned to look at Huang Tianfeng, originally wanting to ask about the development of the Chamber of Commerce.

Huang Tianfeng seemed to have misunderstood, and before Wei Wu could speak, he spoke first:

"My Lord, please don't look down on me. The sugar business is so successful because of Miss Qingxia's own ability and talent."

"Originally, I was thinking about whether I could help, but later I realized that Miss Qingxia didn't need my help at all."

When Huang Tianfeng said this, a bitter smile of self-mockery appeared on his face.

Looking at the wry smile on his face, Wei Wu smiled faintly and shook his head.

"No, Old Huang, what are you thinking about? I didn't intend to ask you that. I wanted to ask you about the recent development of the Chamber of Commerce."

"Forehead……"

Knowing that he was being sentimental, Huang Tianfeng scratched his head in embarrassment, and after a while he recovered and said:

"The Chamber of Commerce has developed quite well. Thanks to the path you gave us, we have all opened cement workshops."

"After I won the imperial court's bid to build the city wall, I no longer have to worry about the supply of cement, which greatly accelerated the construction schedule."

"It's a pity that we don't have enough funds, so we only won the bid for a section of the city wall. If we won the whole thing, we would have made a lot of money."

"However, even so, my brothers' cement workshop made a lot of money, and I even got a title."

Speaking of this, Huang Tianfeng's face was full of joy, because he also had his own cement workshop.

This means that in addition to receiving payment from the court, his own cement workshop also made a lot of money.

If you can win all the bids, you will make a lot of money.

But at this moment, Wei Wu spoke up and poured a basin of cold water on him.

"Don't even think about taking them all. Even if you have the money, it's impossible. The court's goal this time is to promote the bidding model."

"It's already good enough to give you a title. We have to let other merchants also taste the sweetness, otherwise the bidding will be in vain."

After Wei Wu finished speaking, Huang Tianfeng smiled and explained:

"I'm sorry to have laughed at you, Lord. Actually, I was just thinking about it. I mainly want to help my brothers make more money in the cement workshop."

Hearing this, Wei Wu shook his head and smiled slightly, then patted Huang Tianfeng on the shoulder.

"Don't worry! The cement workshop will only make more money, not less, because the demand for cement will continue to increase."

Upon hearing these words, Huang Tianfeng's eyes immediately lit up.

Wei Wu's words now clearly showed that he had inside information, and it was good news that could make money.

Sure enough, just as Huang Tianfeng was expecting it, Wei Wu spoke again.

"This time, I asked you to call everyone to a meeting just to discuss this matter!"
