Chapter 470： Cooperate with Liu Yichen

"It's delicious, huh..." Everyone was full of praise for the dishes made with peanut oil, and they were full of burps after eating.

"The dish made from peanut oil is not the same as lard," said Dr. Zhang. "The dish made from lard is fragrant, but you can't add more. If you add more, it will become very greasy."

They are not short of money now, so in terms of oil, they don't save as much as ordinary rural households.

So, the kitchen doesn't save that lard at all.

"But this peanut is different. Even though it is fried, there is no peanut smell in the oil. There is only a refreshing fragrance. Therefore, the resulting dish is more fragrant and not greasy!" Dr. Zhang evaluated.

"Well, not bad!" Lin Deshan immediately echoed, "This kind of peanut oil dish has a strong fragrance but not greasy. If you eat too much, it won't be as disgusting as lard. It's really good!"

Lin Yuelan listened to everyone who was full of praise for peanut oil, and thought to herself, "Peanut oil is the most popular oil in modern times, not to mention, it is still natural, and it has a good fragrance."

After Liu Yichen had eaten the meal made of peanut oil, an idea came to his mind.

This kind of good stuff, if sold to the public, seems too cheap.

It seems that they can only take the high-end route of the nobles.

Liu Yichen thought of something and said, "Sister, I heard you say that in addition to peanuts, corn and soybeans can also be used to extract oil, right?"

Lin Yue nodded and said, "Yes."

"Then the taste and quality of this oil?" Liu Yichen asked curiously.

"The oil extracted from corn and soybeans is not as strong as peanut oil, but it is also very suitable for cooking."

Most of the oils used in modern times are peanut oil, soybean oil, sunflower oil and peanut oil, and a few other oils, such as olive oil, oil seed oil, tea seed oil and other vegetable oils.

Various oils can be used for other purposes besides cooking.

Now that she has successfully made an oil press, she can squeeze out other oils.

The business opportunities that Liu Yichen could think of, Lin Yuelan could never have imagined.

Listening to Lin Yuelan's answer, Liu Yichen's eyes lit up and he immediately made up his mind.

However, this matter has to be discussed with Lin Yuelan in private to see what her thoughts are.

Lin Deshan, Doctor Zhang and others were immediately excited when they heard what Lin Yuelan said.

In the past, they still wondered how Lin Yuelan would suddenly plant so many corn, soybeans, and peanuts, which in the eyes of the common people were not enough and wasted energy and land, but in the eyes of the rich, these things were not on the table.

Therefore, these miscellaneous grains are not welcomed by the common people or the rich at all, except to grow some snacks for themselves.

However, now it's alright, it turns out that these things can squeeze oil, and Lin Yuelan's purpose of planting those things turned out to be here.

The granddaughter is worthy of being a granddaughter. She has a vision in everything she does.

Lin Deshan asked happily, "Girl, if all these things are squeezed out of oil, will ordinary people be able to eat oil?"

But these things are different.

These things can be grown in every household, and they can be consumed.

Lin Yuelan nodded and said, "That's right!"

Tonight, in addition to Lin Jiayuan's masters and guests, who ate meals made with peanut oil, Lin Jiayuan's guard servants also ate meals made with peanut oil.

"Tsk, the food tonight is really delicious!"

"That's right! We never thought that in our eyes, such ordinary peanuts can be squeezed out of oil, and this oil is not inferior to lard. It can be said that the cooked meals are more fragrant and delicious, and No lard greasy, no nausea after eating too much."

"Master is really a genius. I knew early on that peanuts can extract oil, no wonder people plant so many peanuts. I used to wonder, peanuts, if you plant too many, you can't eat them all, and they sell well. What do you want to do with so many seeds?"

"That's right. At the beginning, I had the same doubts as you. Now that I have eaten this meal made of peanut oil, I really know that the master is really a visionary!"

"This is not to say that the master is the master, but we can only be slaves. It is because our brains are not as flexible as the master."

When they said that they were slaves, their tone did not show inferiority, but a kind of ridicule.

Because, many of them who were slaves in Linjiayuan first signed a three-year living contract, and after the three-year expiration, whether to stay or leave is completely free to decide.

Of course, the premise is that within the past three years, you must not betray your master and Lin Jiayuan, otherwise, Lin Yuelan, the master, is not so good at talking and let go of the betrayal.

"With so many peanuts, how much peanut oil must be squeezed out?"

"I heard that hundreds of catties of peanuts can squeeze 15 to 20 catties of oil, and one mu of land can produce up to five or six hundred catties of peanuts. In this way, it can squeeze hundreds of catties of oil." More and more excited.

"A few hundred catties of peanut oil, when can I eat it? If it is a few hundred catties of lard, I don't know how much it will cost. The fat is twenty-four or five cents per catty."

"Said, this peanut oil is cheaper and better than lard, it's really a good deal."

"It's just so much peanut oil, it's unlikely that the master will use it for us to eat. You also know that the master is a big business person. In addition to the Lin Kee Pharmacy, there are many restaurants, especially the restaurants, which must be used. These peanut oils are for cooking."

"Well, you said that, let alone hundreds of catties of peanut oil, even thousands of catties of peanut oil are not enough."

They all know that the business of the master's restaurant is very popular, and it is full of customers.

...

On this day, Lin Jiayuan was talking about the freshly baked peanut oil.

However, the people of Lin Jiayuan, under Lin Yuelan's strict and conscious training, consciously kept everything about Lin Jiayuan confidential.

No matter what Lin Jiayuan does, only Lin Jiayuan insiders know about it. Even if it is discussed outside, in the case of outsiders, except for work, never mention anything that involves Lin Jiayuan.

Therefore, even those who work in Linjiayuan have worked in Linjiayuan for a long time, and they do not know what they are doing with so many peanuts obtained from Taoyuan Village.

Of course, this is a later story, let's not mention it for the time being.

The next day, after a long night of deliberation, Liu Yichen found Lin Yuelan and said straight to the point, "Sister, regarding this vegetable oil, I want to cooperate with you!"

It's a business anyway.

However, when it comes to business, it does not mean to put aside the interests of each other just because of human feelings.

Lin Yuelan also consciously wanted to cooperate with Liu Yichen, the richest man in the country, or a great royal merchant appointed by the emperor.

This is very beneficial to her business development.

Lin Yuelan nodded and said, "Well, then please!"

The two entered the living room. Because it was a business matter, whether it was Lin Deshan or Doctor Zhang avoided it, even Jiang Zhennan went out after glaring at Liu Yichen.

In the living room, Liu Yichen and Lin Yuelan and Xiaolu were left alone.

After sitting down, Lin Yuelan also asked directly, "I don't know how Brother Liu wants to cooperate with me?"

Liu Yichen said very seriously, "I am very optimistic about the prospects of this kind of vegetable oil such as peanut oil, corn oil, and soybean oil. Sister, you also know that most people in the world still can't afford it. Oil, especially the lard made from fat pork, is eaten only a few times throughout the year. Now, when you have these high-quality and cheap vegetable oils, everyone will definitely be more willing to pay for them to eat.”

Lin Yuelan nodded in agreement, "Big brother is right! It's just,"

Lin Yuelan did not deny Liu Yichen's words, but she changed her words and said,

"The cost of this vegetable oil is also very high. Let's say peanuts, a pound of shelled peanuts can only be squeezed out of one to two taels, and five to six pounds of peanuts can be squeezed out of a pound of oil. According to the current purchase of peanuts Looking at the price of a pound of eight cents, five to six catties of peanuts cost at least forty to fifty cents. That is to say, the cost of a pound of peanut oil is at least fifty cents, which can make two catties of lard. Big brother , you say, which oil would the average person prefer to use?"

Liu Yichen nodded and said, "That's right. But sister, what you're talking about is only your current cost. There is a saying that what is rare is more expensive. This time, it's because you need peanuts, and every household has peanuts. There are not many stocks, so you will increase the price of purchasing peanuts by at least two times. Naturally, the cost of this oil will also increase.

Waiting for next year, as long as it is widely distributed, it will purchase peanuts, soybeans and corn. I believe farmers are more willing to have more varieties.

As soon as there is more, the price will naturally go down. Even so, they prefer to plant because it becomes part of their income. "

In fact, what Liu Yichen said is according to the modern saying, it is called the law of the market.

In short supply, or in excess of demand!

If there are less things, the price will be expensive; on the contrary, if there are more things, the price will naturally drop!

This is what many rural people complain about.

Obviously, this thing sold for a good price last year, but the price of the same thing this year has dropped into shit.

This is just because everyone saw this thing making money last year, so one by one, they worked hard and cultivated and planted them in a large area.

There are more people planting, and the market demand is so large, so in the case of meeting the market demand

Next, the extra stuff is naturally cheap and almost shit.

These principles are understood by anyone who has read and studied market economics in modern times, but those entrepreneurs and businessmen have all learned from their experience.

Therefore, even in ancient times, Liu Yichen was able to turn his family business into the richest man in the country in a short period of time, and became the emperor of Longyan Kingdom, then in addition to his keen sense of smell and touch, I believe more is the extraordinary business methods and business experience.

Lin Yuelan also did not refute what Liu Yichen said. She smiled and said, "Big brother is worthy of being the richest royal businessman in the country. He is shrewd and wise, and everything he said is on point."

Liu Yichen shook his head and said with a wry smile, "My sister has won the prize. In fact, my brother and I are just talking about experience. You also know that the Liu family's business is all over the world. Before any business, you must understand his value and prospects. Timely deploy control and grasp the overall situation, otherwise, if you are not careful, it may lead to bankruptcy!"

Lin Yuelan nodded to show her understanding, and then she said, "Business, that's how it is! Otherwise, how can you say that this business can't be done by everyone?"

Although ancient times were strictly hierarchical and under the class system of scholars, peasants, industry and commerce, more people were willing to enter the shopping mall for money.

However, it depends on whether the person has this talent or not.

Next, Lin Yuelan and Liu Yichen entered the negotiation stage directly.

The negotiation result is:

Liu Yichen arranged to purchase peanuts and transport them to Taoyuan Village for oil extraction, charging five cents per catty of peanuts. Then, I pre-ordered 300 catties of peanut oil, 500 catties of corn oil and soybean oil from Lin Yuelan.

Acquired at the price of 85 and 75 respectively.

The purpose of Liu Yichen's purchase of these things was to either give them favors or sell them to those powerful people.

After all, the name of his Great Imperial Merchant is not a sage, and many people identify with the Liu family. According to modern people, they identify with the Liu family's famous brand.

The reason why Lin Yuelan didn't personally arrange for people to go to the country to buy peanuts is because of the shortage of personnel, and secondly, this matter may become a national sensation and lead to the premature exposure of Taoyuan Village. This is something Lin Yuelan does not want to happen. The third is that the Liu family is a big royal businessman, and it is this brand. It is justifiable to do this suddenly, and no one suspects that there will be so many troubles.

In conclusion, Lin Yuelan handed all this to Liu Yichen herself, and she only charged the fee for oil extraction.

A pound and five cents, excluding labor costs, she is a net profit, so why not do it.

Now that the finished product of the oil press has been successfully manufactured, then, one, two, and more are manufactured, which is simply a problem.

However, Lin Yuelan directly intends to build an oil extraction plant in Taoyuan Village, so that Taoyuan Village will directly become the place where vegetable oil is produced.

As for the factory building, Lin Yuelan had already thought about it when she built the Linjiayuan, and even built a lot of factories, but it has been empty for nearly half a year.

But with the harvest of peanuts, soybeans, corn, sweet potatoes, etc., these factories will gradually be used.

Tofu workshop, sweet potato flour factory, oil pressing factory, wine factory, etc...

However, starting from the second year, Liu Yichen did not need to come forward to buy peanuts, but ordered vegetable oil directly from Lin Yuelan, and the price was different according to the quality.

Liu Yichen also had no opinion.

As for why Liu Yichen didn't need to buy peanuts from the second year, Lin Yuelan didn't say, and Liu Yichen didn't ask.

He understood that Lin Yuelan must have his own plans.

But his cooperation with Lin Yuelan is a two-way benefit. For him, if he buys peanuts or not, there is not much profit to lose.

Liu Yichen and Lin Yuelan have reached a cooperation.

However, this cooperation has been kept secret for the time being.

You must know how many big businessmen like Liu Yichen have racked their brains to climb up and do business with him.

But a small businessman like Lin Yuelan, although there are several pharmacies and restaurants, in the eyes of big businessmen, he is still just a small business.

Therefore, if a small businessman climbs up to such a lucky event as a big royal businessman, it is really going to burn a lot of incense.

"What, son, you want to go on and let people buy peanuts all over the country?" Lou Ye looked at his son with wide eyes in disbelief.

"Well, if you want to go, why is there so much nonsense?" Liu Yichen gave Lou Ye a dissatisfied look.

He found that the subordinate Lou Ye seemed to be increasingly questioning his orders.

He was doubting whether it was because the attitude of Lin Jiayuan and others directly affected his subordinate, so that his prestige in this subordinate was getting lower and lower.

Lou Ye looked at his son's face, suddenly a clever, nodded and said, "Well, this subordinate will go!"

Just before leaving, Lou Ye said suspiciously, "Master, is it possible that we bought so many peanuts just to squeeze peanut oil? However, when the whole country buys so many peanuts, how long will it take?"

Look, it took half a day for more than 100 catties of peanuts.

If you really want to go to the whole country to buy, even if every household does not have many peanuts, it will add up to a lot, and you can at least receive tens of thousands of catties of peanuts.

Liu Yichen was a little disdainful of this stupid question of his subordinates.

He said, "Don't you think everyone is as stupid as you? They only use one press to squeeze oil?"

Lou Ye suddenly choked, blushed and said embarrassedly, "Young Master, then I will issue an order!"

"Go!"
