Quickly wear salted fish, she won by lying down

Chapter 1114 The Murderer in the Dark 25
There is no need to worry about purchasing too many things and not selling them all, resulting in losses. Linlang has naturally done statistics.

She used an intelligent brain to count the things bought by everyone in the mansion, and knew what most people in the mansion liked, and then purchased them from high to low according to quantity.

Besides, she also likes almost all the things these people like. If they can't finish them, she can consume them slowly and it doesn't matter.

Besides, there are three festivals and two birthdays every year, and gifts have to be given to the Fang family. If they are not all consumed, you can just give them away as gifts for the three festivals and two birthdays. Anyway, they will not go bad if kept in the space, and they will be consumed one day. There is no need to worry about buying too much and not being able to sell them and making a loss.

If the Fang family were to ask merchants to buy things for her courtyard, they would indeed worry that the money would be sent and never come back. However, if they were to connect directly with merchants and robots were to buy things every day, they wouldn't have to worry about that. Moreover, Linlang had made it clear that she was buying snacks for the concubines in the mansion, not for herself. How dare the Fang family do anything about it?! If they offended the noble, they couldn't even afford to pay with their lives.

Of course, it’s impossible. After all, it’s robots that go to those shops to buy the things. What can they do? Besides, robots can scan the quality of things. If the quality is too bad, they won’t buy it.

Those people probably didn't dare to give the nobles in the palace too bad food, for fear that they wouldn't like the food and would stop buying their food and cooperate with others.

Linlang immediately told Brother Fang about this and asked the robot nanny to get a list of snacks and quote prices to Brother Fang. She asked the merchants if anyone had opened a snack shop in the capital. If so, the women in the mansion could buy snacks from them in the future. As long as the quality was guaranteed, they could establish long-term cooperation. If the quality could not be guaranteed, she would terminate the cooperation at any time.

Brother Fang was overjoyed after reading Linlang's reply. No matter how big the snack was, at least he had accomplished his mission today. So he went back quickly and told his family about it.

Needless to say, after seeing this letter, the Fang family was still a little disappointed, because the Fang family had originally thought that Linlang would buy something and give them the money, and they would help her buy it from a merchant in the county or town and then give it to her.

In this way, they can make money from it. Even if things get bad, they can just withhold the money and not give Linlang anything. Isn't that a way to make money? - Of course, not giving anything is something they would only do if things get really bad. After all, it's something that happened once, so it definitely won't happen a second time. Normally, they just make money from it.

As a result, the things Linlang wanted to buy were just the snacks that the women in the mansion had to eat every day. The maid in the mansion came out to purchase every day, and it was none of their business. They couldn't make any money from it, which naturally made them unhappy.

Brother Fang said, "It would be great if we had our own shop in the capital. Then we could make a lot of money."

Father Fang frowned after hearing this and said, "It costs a lot of money to rent a shop and buy all kinds of goods. Where can we get the money? Besides, these are the food for the women in the mansion, not just Linlang. We can't buy inferior goods. If something goes wrong after eating, who can bear the responsibility? So let the people in the town or county do this business. We can ask them for some kickbacks. They dare not refuse to give it. If they don't give it, we will tell Linlang that we don't allow her to buy from them. They don't know that we have a normal relationship with her, so they will definitely be scared and give it to her honestly. It's easier to make money this way."

Everyone thought so too, so they gave Linlang's list to each family and asked them if they had such a shop in Beijing. If so, they could be responsible for supplying snacks to the women in the backyard.

Several merchants in the town said that they had no shops in the capital, so they could not do this and could only express regret.

However, merchants in the county said that they had candied fruit shops in the capital and were interested. Although Linlang said in the letter that the annual trading volume might be only three or four hundred taels - about one tael a day - it was a small business, but they already had a shop in the capital, and it was not opened specifically for Linlang. If they could make a snack business for the women in the backyard of the Qingjiang Palace, and make more than three or four hundred taels a year, it would naturally be good, after all, they could always make more money.

So immediately there were merchants willing to take on this business.

The next step is to select merchants.

At this time, the Fang family jumped out and said that it was naturally up to Linlang to decide which family to choose, but it was up to them to decide whose name to report. If they wanted to appear on this list, they had to give some thanks to the Fang family.

In fact, even if they didn't say it, the merchants would have shown some appreciation. It's just that the Fang family used to be country people and didn't know the rules. They were afraid that these people didn't know they had to give money, so they couldn't wait to jump out and tell them about it. The merchants who heard it were speechless, thinking that the quality of these Fang family members was too poor. I wonder what Concubine Fang is like. Will she be picky?
Judging from the current quotation given by Concubine Fang, although the price offered by the other party is a little lower due to the large-scale purchase, it is only a little lower, which still leaves them with a lot of profit space. This is also the reason why they are willing to do this business.

If the Fang family makes money and Concubine Fang causes trouble in the future, they may not do business with Concubine Fang. After all, the amount is not large, and there are so many requirements. Who would want to do business with them?

After hearing what the Fang family said, some of the merchants expressed their willingness to give ten taels of silver, while others expressed their willingness to give fifteen taels of silver.

The Fang family felt that it was too little, so they bargained with those people, and finally someone was willing to offer twenty taels, saying that they would not do business with anyone who offered more than that.

The Fang family didn't know the cost of these businesses and thought that twenty taels was enough, so they agreed.

Now that Linlang didn't give them money, they could earn twenty taels a year for free from this business, which was still a good deal. After all, twenty taels could allow their whole family to live a good life.

In fact, they didn't know that the profit of this group of people from this business of 400 taels of silver, based on the normal price, was about half, or 50%, or 200 taels.

Linlang made centralized purchases and negotiated a lower price, taking almost 20% of their profit, which was 40 taels. They gave another 20 taels to the Fang family, which was 60 taels in total. They could still make a net profit of 140 taels, which was still a profit.

Especially since Linlang will purchase in large quantities, if the quantity is large, they can even negotiate a lower price from the supplier.

After all, they usually sell in small quantities, and since it is food, they dare not buy too much at one time, so there is no room for negotiation with the supplier. Now Linlang wants a lot at one time, and their shop already wants to sell it, so they can buy a larger quantity, which makes it easier to negotiate the price.

Fortunately, the Fang family didn’t know about this profit, otherwise they would definitely not do it and would want a larger share.
