Chapter 117 Discussion

"Come on, serve the food!" He Zhaoren shouted behind the screen.

Maids, holding exquisite plates, started serving dishes.

After a while, the entire table was filled.

"Young Master Zhang, don't be polite, please use it slowly." He Zhaoren said, picking up a big meatball, "This is our famous dish in Yangzhou, crab noodles and lion head, you can try it."

As he said that, he put it in front of Zhang Yang.

The skin is tender and fragrant, with a crab flavor. It is not bad, it is quite authentic.

He Zhaoren poured a glass of wine and handed it to Zhang Yang: "Today we are sitting here, drinking and enjoying the beautiful scenery around us, it's so happy!"

"Brother, do you want to make a lyric again?" He Zhaoyi asked with her head raised.

"Huh? So Mr. Zhang still has this kind of aura?" Zhang Yang was more interested in this.

"Where, where, don't listen to the nonsense of the sisters, I'm just drunk and talking nonsense occasionally." He Zhaoren said.

Since childhood, he has been influenced by the Four Books and Five Classics. The smart salt merchants will invite some famous scholars to be gentlemen for their next generation. They have their own strengths in poetry, songs and essays.

He Zhaoren sometimes spent too much time on this and wasted his time to stop managing the business, and has been regretting since then.

Zhang Yang was not inconvenient to ask about such family affairs.

With the beautiful wine and beautiful scenery, there is a Miss He who pretends to be a daughter in front of her. Zhang Yang is in a good mood, so he picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one go.

After three rounds of wine.

"I heard from the sister of the Shemei that Mr. Zhang has a way to replace sea salt with fine salt?" He Zhaoren asked.

Finally, when he reached the point, Zhang Yang casually chewed the vegetables in his mouth and said slowly: "Yes, I know there is a small island that produces fine salt. It costs ten taels of silver to exchange coarse salt for one duct.

"If the quantity is large, can I get a discount?" He Zhaoren asked.

"The amount is large? How much?" Zhang Yang asked lukewarmly, as if he was not tempted by this.

"For example, five thousand stones of salt?"

"Cough, cough." Zhang Yang coughed a few times. Five thousand stones of salt would be 50,000 taels of silver. This transaction is indeed not small, but can he digest it himself?

Besides, even if you have such a large production capacity, what will happen if you put these 5,000 stones of fine salt into the market? The price of fine salt will definitely drop.

No, too much. Less.

"If it was such a large amount, I think it would cost at least twenty taels of silver per stone." Zhang Yang thought for a while and said.

"Why?" He Zhaoren and He Zhaoyi both opened their eyes wide and looked at Zhang Yang. They couldn't believe that he would say such things. The amount should be better, but why is it more expensive?

"Young Master Zhang, are you kidding?" He Zhaoren made an excuse for Zhang Yang.

"That's right, Brother Shicheng, don't tease my elder brother. There is no such reason in the world." He Zhaoyi also echoed.

"I'm not kidding." Zhang Yang said: "That island produces fine salt, but the quantity is limited. Moreover, they are short of staff. If the quantity is too large, they have to work overtime to produce, and the cost will naturally increase. Twenty taels of silver is just my estimate. When the talks are made, they may cost thirty taels or even forty taels." At first glance, it seems to make some sense.

He Zhaoren continued to ask, "So according to Mr. Zhang's opinion, how much can the amount be based on ten taels of silver?"

Zhang Yang lowered his head and thought for a long time before slowly saying, "I guess those guys on the island will be at most about 500 s of minus a month. No matter how much they are, they may not be willing to do it."

Five hundred stones? This is too little, right? Although the transactions I do are not as high as those of my second brother, there are also thousands of stones of salt every month, which is only a fraction of the price.

However, the profit of these five hundred stones is much more than the profit of five hundred stones of coarse salt. By this calculation, you will make more money.

"Okay, then only five hundred stones." He Zhaoren said simply.

Well, that's right, it's a big dealer, who does things neatly and neatly. People who do big things are like this. On the contrary, buying side dishes on the street requires half a day to pay.

"In the salt warehouse below me, there are still about one hundred stones of sea salt. I wonder if Mr. Zhang can do it when he leaves?"

"No problem," said Zhang Yang, the impatient guy: "When you leave in the afternoon, put it on the boat and I will take it away. Next time you come, I will bring you fine salt. My boat is small and can only transport about one hundred stones."

Zhang Yang directly took the transportation to himself, so that he could load salt from here to transport it to the base, convert it into fine salt, and then transport it, saving the need to transfer it from the killing port.

"Do you need my help?" He Zhaoren said: "My He family has its own salt ship, a three-layer large ship, and can transport thousands of stones of salt at a time."

"Forget it, the water on the island is shallow and the big ship cannot enter." Zhang Yang refused He Zhaoren's kindness: "This round-trip freight is waived, just treat it as I gave it to you."

"Ha, Mr. Zhang is so polite." He Zhaoren also said.

"There is one thing that I have to ask Mr. He for help." Zhang Yang looked up at the excited He Zhaoren and said.

"If there is anything, Mr. Zhang said that in Yangzhou, my He family can still speak." The negotiation was made, and although it did not meet the original requirements, it was considered to be satisfied.

"This way of transporting salt back and forth, it is inevitable that it will be inspected by the anti-smuggling ship of the Salt Transportation Department, and our salt is a bit..." Zhang Yang's biggest headache was how to avoid the investigation of the Salt Transportation Department. Just like the traffic police in later generations, he abides by the rules every day. He was not bad at all. He drank once and was arrested after driving, and his driver's license was revoked.

"So it's an anti-smuggling ship, this is simple." He Zhaoren said: "He never checks my He family's salt ship. I'll find you a flag from my He family's salt field. You hang it on the mast to ensure you can travel smoothly." He Zhaoren said.

"Then I'm thankful for Mr. He." Zhang Yang said. This was exactly what he wanted. In the future, he could use the He family's banner to openly use the He family. Shixin and others went to other places to sell salt, and they could also stand up, just because they were a bit of a fox and a tiger's power.

"Come on, eat vegetables, eat vegetables." After talking for a long time, the dishes were cold before they could sense it.

"Brother, Mr. Zhang finally came here, so let him stay in Yangzhou for a few more days. I want him to accompany me to visit West Lake." He Zhaoyi said.

"This..." He Zhaoren also wanted to transport the fine salt as soon as possible, sell the fine salt, and make a lot of money, but the God of Wealth was invited by his sister, so it would be a bit unreasonable if he didn't agree.

In a dilemma, Zhang Yang said, "Ms. He, the matter in this salt farm is too busy, and you have to contact Mr. He for Jingyan. I'm afraid there is not a matter of three to five days. I'd better go and have a chance to go and play next time!"
