The coarse salt brought by Jin Laosan has been changed into copper coins, and he stays in the girdle on Jin Laosan's shoulder.
Wu Liang and Shi Qing both knew what the price was when they bought the crude salt. Now they saw that Jin Laosan easily turned the crude salt into a large sum of cash. Their spirits, which had been somewhat depressed along the way, recovered a lot.
Jin Laosan is also in a good mood. Today, he not only made a lot of money, but also got on the line with the local religious friends here. Just now, while buying, selling and delivering, the religious friend who looked a little strange quickly stuffed a letter to him. He had to check the content when he went back.
Jin Laosan is very happy. He has a better attitude towards Shi Qing and Wu Liang and is willing to give them some advice.
"You see that now? It's not that we can't afford to buy fine salt, but the transportation of fine salt is troublesome and the cost is high. How can people who take risks to buy private salt have the money to buy fine salt and buy back coarse salt? They boil it with water, filter out the dregs and then boil it dry. It's just a matter of firewood. A Penny Less is important to them! "
Shi Qing and Wu Liang nodded to be taught. Although their families are not very rich, they also buy fine salt to eat, because it takes a lot of time to process coarse salt into fine salt. With this time, they can make more money by doing something else, so they also push others on their own, thinking that there won't be many people to buy coarse salt.
Jin Laosan said, "before I took you to buy salt, the owner collected a little and the West collected a little. Do you know who that person is?"
Shi Qing and Wu Liang shake their heads.
Jin Laosan said, "they are all salt well workers. They usually go out early and return late every day, work hard in the salt well, and their daily income is meager. They are exposed to so much salt every day, but they may not be able to afford official salt in the end. "
After hearing this, Shi Qing felt puzzled and sympathized with these salt well workers. She could not help asking, "why? Now salt is not cheap. How can they not earn much? "
"Most of them are not local people. Some of them were abducted there, and some of them were exiled by the imperial court," said Jin Laosan
Wu Liang asked, "is it true that the one who traded with us that day is also a prisoner?"
Jin Laosan nodded and then said, "you can feel that the place is very remote after you go there. It takes a lot of complicated processes and a long construction period to make the finished salt from the brine. When it's done, it will cost a lot of money to transport it out."
Jin Laosan's voice was very clear in the open night: "besides, the salt wells in that place produce less brine. In order to get more brine, the salt wells have to be dug deep again and again. But the salt wells are different from the water wells. Once they are dug deep, they are easy to collapse. After the collapse, most of the people buried inside are dead. It will take time to dig again, It's all part of the cost. "
Shi Qing said: "but the official salt is a price, do not change the price without permission."
"Of course, the owners of these salt wells are not so stupid. Of course, they will not make money from this. Then we can only deduct the money from these workers. It's so hard to earn. Who will give them more money? "
Shi Qing and Wu Liang are confused, but they seem to understand something.
Jin Laosan said: "because the wages are small, the workers have to live after all, so after the brine is extracted and processed into coarse salt, some workers secretly bring some out. They have no time and no place to do fine processing. If they transfer to other people for processing, it is not enough to be hidden."
Wu Liang said: "what's more, selling like this not only sells faster, but also doesn't have to share profits with other people."
Jin Laosan said: "yes, I'm not impatient to quarrel with those people. I'd rather run away by myself. In this way, what I earn will be my own. It's much easier to worry!"
Shi Qing and Wu Liang look at each other and see each other ready to move in each other's eyes.
Shi Qing and Wu Liang have completely believed what they saw with their own eyes, and seeing that Jin Laosan is familiar with it, they don't really encounter any danger along the way. Wu Liang and Shi Qing gradually fight with each other and want to have a try.
Jin Laosan laughs in his heart. Just to make them follow him wholeheartedly, he takes them around in a big circle, so that they can see for themselves how easy it is to find the right way to make money.
These two young people are still too young. They grew up in small places and have little insight. When you see that you can make a lot of money, you can't even think about it. If you want to make a lot of money selling salt, there are many merchants all over the country who sell goods all the year round. How can those shrewd merchants miss such a chance to make a lot of money?
Either income is not directly proportional to risk, or it is not as simple as it seems.
Unfortunately, Jin Laosan's road now includes the above two situations.
He looked at Shi Qing and Wu Liang, who were completely blinded by money, and their mouths covered by their beards showed a smile.
Yu said, "are you sure? I look at both of them. They are short-sighted and have no brains. Do you think they can control their mouths? "
Jin Laosan said, "how many people are born to keep secrets? When they know that they have to shut up to save their lives, they will naturally learn how to shut up. "
Boss Yu shook his head: "I still don't think it's very good, but what you say is what you say. It's time to be short of manpower. Let's have a look then. If these two are really plastic talents, it's nothing to keep."
Jin Laosan said: "you see, there is a large amount of money waiting in front, these two people will naturally become diligent and smart."
Shi Qing and Wu Liang naturally don't know about the conversation between Jin Laosan and Yu Laosan.
Since they really saw the feasibility of making money, Shi Qing and Wu Liang began to look for opportunities to inquire about the business routes of Jin Laosan. Because Jin Laosan deliberately bypassed several cities, they could not find the north for a long time, and the compass is not popular these days. If you want to know the route, you must let Jin Laosan teach you.
Where did the two of them ask for help before? He is the one who is favored at home and doesn't speak well. He can only become more diligent in his daily life than before. Once Jin Laosan and Yu Laosan have something to do, they rush to help.
