Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

As Qin Ming's order was given, Cao Chuan quickly pulled everything out of the mountains.

There are several thousand kilograms of refined salt.

These refined salts are snow-white and delicate, and do not have the strange taste of coarse salt.

Once launched, it will definitely become popular in the market.

However, Qin Ming’s first sales stop was not in Lingnan, but in Jiangnan.

After he and Sun Miao discussed it, they agreed on a 30:70 split, with Qin Ming's technology accounting for 30% of the shares.

The remaining 70% of the profits will all go to the Sun family.

"How much can you give?"

Looking at the cartloads of refined salt, Qin Ming asked Sun Miao.

Sun Miao was not vague and waved his hand and said:

"Don't worry, Your Highness. We can provide as much as you need."

"That's fine."

After the two finished their discussion, they prepared to go to Jiangnan.

They still took the highway that Qin Ming had built before, and it took them less than three days to reach the Jiangnan border.

The Xiao family is too treacherous. In order to ensure safety, Qin Ming directly brought Liu Chuang and his Shanzi Camp this time.

With the cooperation of the powerful Chang Baishan, no matter how many people come from the other side, they can't pose a threat to Qin Ming.

"The next step is to go to the major cities and negotiate business with them. We just have to wait."

Sun Miao greeted people in advance.

However, the Xiao family has been entrenched here for many years, and these salt merchants may not all agree so quickly.

Their current strategy is to first introduce this batch of refined salt into the market to form a dimensionality reduction attack.

The reason for doing this is mainly to take into account the mentality of the salt merchants.

Without examples, even if Qin Ming and his colleagues talked their mouths off, the salt merchants would still remain indifferent.

But if they knew the benefits of refined salt, they would naturally come to them without Qin Ming and Sun Miao saying much.

Thinking of this, Qin Ming nodded.

"Let's go to Gusu City next."

The closest place to them is Gusu City.

The two men arrived here quickly, and at the same time, their teams dispersed with their supplies.

"I would like to introduce someone to Your Highness."

As soon as he arrived, Sun Miao called a fat middle-aged man.

The other person had a blessed face and a very large figure. Not only was he dressed in silk and satin, but he also had a large gold bracelet and two jade rings on his hands.

Qin Ming has traveled a lot and seen a lot of good things.

A quick glance and I knew he must be a wealthy businessman.

After all, only this group of people would be so obvious and ostentatious.

"Hello, Your Highness. My name is Li Youcai. I am one of the local salt merchants in Gusu. I used to work for the Xiao family."

As soon as Li Youcai saw Qin Ming, he hurried forward and shook his hands with both hands with a very good attitude.

"Just call me Xiao Li."

Seeing that Qin Ming didn't know how to address him, he even lowered his own status and reminded Qin Ming with a smile.

Since the other party gave him so much face, Qin Ming naturally would not be disrespectful in that way.

After greeting the other party with a fist bump, Qin Ming said:

"Boss Li, are you going to help us sell refined salt? We were making money with the Xiao family before, so why are you suddenly getting involved in this mess?"

It’s no wonder that Qin Ming was suspicious. When doing business, one must think carefully.

Otherwise, a small problem or negligence may cause them problems.

Li Youcai has been in business for many years and has met many different kinds of people.

After Qin Ming spoke, he could naturally guess what His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin meant.

Li Youcai looked at Qin Ming's face, rubbed his hands and said:

"To be honest, Your Highness, I have promised you that I can help you, but I have a small request, and I hope you will agree."

Qin Ming nodded immediately after hearing this.

Having requirements is a good thing.

What I fear most is the kind of taciturn person who sometimes takes the initiative to contact his own people without even asking for anything.

People like that are the most unpredictable.

Li Youcai, who puts forward conditions, is actually tied to Qin Ming in disguise after the two parties exchange benefits with each other.

"Tell me, what do you want?"

"It's like this, Your Highness. I want to be the head of the salt merchants in this area. If you have any goods in the future, you can give them to me first..."

Li Youcai finally showed his fangs.

Although he originally worked for the Xiao family, he actually did not have many resources.

Even among the salt merchants, he was just a small figure responsible for distribution.

In Gusu City, there were two or three salt merchants of the same level as him.

But Jiangnan is not just about Gusu City.

There are also other major cities, and under each main city, there are several county towns.

There are several people like him in every city.

If you build them all over Jiangnan, there would be hundreds of them.

And his answer was exactly what Qin Ming expected.

With Qin Ming's arrival, the entire Jiangnan salt merchants will undergo a major reshuffle.

Everyone in the world is seeking profit. Since he is willing to take huge risks, he should stand with Qin Ming.

Then you must raise your status to a higher level.

In response to his request, Qin Ming and Sun Miao exchanged glances.

The other party just shrugged and signaled Qin Ming to make the decision himself.

After all, it was just a matter of two people talking.

After pondering for a moment, Qin Ming slowly shook his head and said:

"Too many. You can't control the entire Jiangnan region with your strength. How about letting you manage the markets of Gusu City and its subordinate counties?"

Qin Ming is not very generous, the cake in his hand is only this big.

A lot of it was distributed at once, and if the salt merchants behind did not have enough to share, they would turn around and go back to the Xiao family.

So his decisions were extremely restrained.

"Gusu City... that's fine!"

Li Youcai did not make any unreasonable demands. This result was enough to satisfy him.

"Alright, go and start selling. We want to see His Highness's things appear in your salt shop tomorrow morning."

At this time, Sun Miao clapped his hands and urged Li Youcai to get started.

However, Li Youcai did not leave. Instead, he lowered his head and hesitated for a while before saying:

"Your Highness, Young Master Sun, do you two need my help in contacting someone from the Cao family?"

"Who is it, Cao Chen?"

Sun Miao thought about it and quickly said a name.

"Yes, they control more spheres of influence than I do, and they will definitely meet your highness's requirements."

If Li Youcai is the lowest level existence in the entire salt merchant food chain.

The Xiao family must be at the top.

But below the Xiao family, there is another layer, which is the local family like the Cao family.

Li Youcai was originally under the other party. With the relationship with Qin Ming, he could actually bring the Cao family under Qin Ming's command. This would not only allow him to gain merit, but also reduce his own risks.

After all, his own defection was nothing, but the Cao family's defection would definitely attract the attention of the Xiao family.

By then, the one the Xiao family will take action against will not be him, but the Cao family.

Li Youcai thinks he is very smart.

However, Qin Ming and Sun Miao had already seen through his thoughts, but were too lazy to point it out.

"Go ahead. Since we're already here, one more of them won't make a difference."
