Chapter 32 Husband And Wife To Cast Glory Together
The processing of herbs that Song Ankang had mentioned had the smell of a modern assembly line, but it was slightly more complicated than that. However, it was simple enough for the apprentices Hua Chuntang had nurtured.
As for whether this would leak out and allow others to learn, Song Ankang was not worried about that. The in-depth processing of herbs looked simple, but it also required enough knowledge and skill.
Coincidentally, the host body was well-read and had a lot of knowledge in this area. It was not easy to replicate. Moreover, even if Song Ankang didn’t say anything, wouldn’t the news be leaked after the medicinal herbs were processed in depth?
Sooner or later, people would find out about it, so there was no need to hide it. He could even use this to gain Pang Huachun’s trust and obtain an excellent way to earn money.
Pang Huachun’s eyes lit up when he heard that. “Alright, this is very feasible. It can also help our Huachun Hall save a lot of costs. I didn’t expect Young Master Song to be so capable in business.”
“There was a drought this year. I had no choice but to find such a way to make money. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to survive in Chaoyun Manor.” Song Ankang smiled bitterly.
Huachun Hall started out as an alchemist and mainly sold all kinds of ninth-grade pills. However, the number of ninth-grade alchemists was limited, so he naturally would not spend a lot of time processing medicinal herbs.
This required Huachun Hall to nurture many apprentices who dealt with medicinal herbs. The cost was not low. If someone could directly provide the processed medicinal herbs to Huachun Hall and buy them at a reasonable price, Huachun Hall would naturally be willing to do so. This way, he would not have to nurture so many shockingly expensive apprentices.
Song Ankang and Pang Huachun hit it off immediately. The two of them discussed how they would cooperate next and signed the corresponding agreement to ensure that both parties benefited.
Pang Huachun did not raise the price of the purchase because of his good reputation, nor did Song Ankang lower the price of the sale because of Pang Huachun’s flattery. The two of them had a good fight, purely on the interests of business.
Seeing the intense discussion between the two of them and the relatively reasonable agreements being drafted, Jiang Yunhe, Qiu Shi, and the people from Tongxin Town branch were already stunned.
It was normal for Pang Huachun to be so shrewd as a businessman, but he did not expect the handsome and refined Young Master Song to be so smart and hardworking. It was really unbelievable.
Moreover, Song Ankang knew the price of various medicinal herbs and the cost of nurturing an apprentice of the Medicine Hall like the back of his hand. The agreed price was extremely reasonable and even fought for the greatest profit for Chaoyun Manor, making Pang Huachun somewhat convinced.
It took them from morning to evening to finally come up with an agreement. Song Ankang had also bought a large number of tools for processing medicinal herbs from Huachun Hall, as well as the detailed explanation of the processing of medicinal herbs that Pang Huachun had specially given him. It could be said that he had returned with a full load.
“Young Master Song, I really can’t imagine you today.”
Before leaving, Pang Huachun looked at Song Ankang and smiled bitterly. “After so many years of business, I haven’t been as passive as I am today.”
“Please forgive me, Shopkeeper Pang.” Song Ankang smiled. “It’s just that I had no choice. Chaoyun Manor is huge and has more than a thousand tenants. Even though it seems petty to do this, as the owner of Chaoyun Manor Lord, I have to be responsible for them.”
“It would be foolish to disregard the interests of so many tenants who follow me just because of a little face. Besides, business is business. This is not something embarrassing. In the future, we will still be friends in private. Isn’t Shopkeeper Pang the same?”
Pang Huachun was surprised. “Business is business. Well said. Then I’ll make a friend of Young Master Song. It seems that many people in the capital have underestimated Young Master Song. If Young Master Song holds the authority of the Tang Corporation in the future, it might be able to develop the Tang Corporation better. At that time, the husband and wife will follow. The glory of the Tang Corporation will be imminent.”
“You flatter me, Shopkeeper Pang. With my mediocre skills, I can only solve the problem in the farmstead. I can’t do anything else.” Song Ankang smiled.
After bidding farewell to Pang Huachun, the group rushed towards the farm with a full harvest.
“Young Master, I also think that they’ve underestimated you. I didn’t expect you to be so good at business other than studying.”
As soon as they left Tongxin Town, Qiu Shi’s eyes widened. She stared at Song Ankang without blinking, as if she was seeing him for the first time.
Jiang Yunhe, who was driving, also smiled and said, “Business is business. I also think that Young Master’s words are really good. Since we’re doing business, we should naturally follow the rules. Eldest Miss also said something similar, but it’s not as concise as Young Master’s summary.”
“Our Tang Trading Company is also dominated by merchants. Since Young Master is so capable, you can help Eldest Miss when you return in the future.” Qiu Shi said with some admiration, “At that time, Eldest Miss and Young Master will combine their swords and will definitely be able to get our Tang Trading Company out of trouble and become the number one trading company in the capital.”
Seeing Qiu Shi’s face light up, Song Ankang shook his head speechlessly. What kind of business ability was this? He had only learned a little from Earth.
If he was really asked to run the Tang Corporation, it would be a miracle if he did not lose money. Song Ankang would not run the Tang Corporation with Tang Yelan. Moreover, compared to running a trading company, cultivation was the most attractive path for Song Ankang. It was also the most promising path in the Mysterious Desolate Continent!
Song Ankang would not waste his time and energy on business. If he had that time, he might as well cultivate for a while.
If not for the fact that Chaoyun Manor was facing a huge dilemma this time and even affected Song Ankang’s future cultivation, Song Ankang would not have racked his brains to find such a solution. As for whether it would work, Song Ankang was not sure now.
However, if it worked according to Song Ankang’s plan, it would definitely bring a rolling source of income to Chaoyun Manor At that time, not only would they be able to complete this year’s taxes, but they would also be able to let the tenants of Chaoyun Manor live a good life.
Most importantly, Song Ankang could obtain the greatest profits from it, and then use these profits to buy all kinds of cultivation resources. With these cultivation resources, Song Ankang’s strength would definitely soar.
This was what Song Ankang valued the most. In this dangerous and terrifying world, only by raising his strength could he protect his life and his friends and family.
The sound of the car was clear as they walked. By the time they rushed back to Chaoyun Manor, the sky had already turned dark.
