Uncle from a poor family

Chapter 181: The First Time in the Creation of the World (Vote Request)

At this time, Shopkeeper Qin and Xu Gong seemed to be listening to a divine book.

Listening to the young boy's detailed and well-reasoned business plan, the two looked at Zhang Yanling with indescribable eyes.

Before coming, they had made all kinds of plans and thought of various countermeasures, but no matter how much they planned, they could not have expected that the future uncle of the king would play such a big trick on them.

Zhang Heling chimed in, "Sure, second brother. After hearing what you said, I think this soda ash might really come in handy in the future... Hey, how did you come up with that idea? Hahaha..."

The two people opposite couldn't help but think.

You two brothers are not very old, but you cooperate very well and sing the same tune in front of us. Is this considered as Wang Po bragging?

Xu Gong was about to say something, but Shopkeeper Qin stopped him with his hand and asked, "Young Master Zhang, may I ask, what is the basis for what you said? What book did you get it from?"

Zhang Yanling shook his head and said, "No."

Zhang Yanling thought, of course not.

I studied traditional Chinese medicine. In my time, studying traditional Chinese medicine required taking chemistry courses. A PhD in traditional Chinese medicine was roughly equivalent to half an alchemist.

Originally, I wanted to do some other simple projects to make money, but my major was not related to this, so I could only come up with some mysterious things.

"That……"

Shopkeeper Qin looked worried.

Zhang Yanling said, "If you really want to invest, I can tell you in detail how this soda ash is made... In fact, the most difficult part is to complete the chemical reactions step by step, and the most difficult part is to make ammonia. But there is also an advantage, that is, in the process of making soda ash, a kind of item is also made... I can't explain to you what it is, but in general, this thing will be called fertilizer from now on."

Shopkeeper Qin continued to frown.

The more I listen, the more outrageous it gets.

Zhang Heling asked for them to find out what they were wondering: "What is fertilizer?"

Zhang Yanling said: "To cultivate the land, fertilizers need to be applied to increase soil fertility. Usually, this is done by burning the wasteland or adding homemade farmyard manure, which is... um, you know...

"With our byproducts, if applied to the fields, crops or fruit trees will grow rapidly, which is much better than farmyard manure."

"Hahaha!" Zhang Heling slapped his thigh and praised, "Great! Second brother, this can replace both wood ash and farmyard manure. What can I say? With this thing of yours, how much manpower has been saved? I guess those who carry manure will be out of work in the future!"

Zhang Yanling couldn't help but turn his head and frowned, "Brother, why are you so noisy? I need a quiet environment to discuss business with Mr. Qin. Can you shut up first?"

"Oh, okay, okay, you guys talk about yours."

Zhang Heling smiled and was not angry at all. He then looked up at Chai Meng.

At this time, Chai Meng was already looking for a crack in the ground to drill into.

Oh my, I'm clearly on a pirate ship!
Having such a student who talks nonsense and cheats is such a disgrace to society!
All my hard study for more than ten years has gone in vain!

I have read so many sage books that they have become like a dog's stomach!

Zhang Yanling ignored the complicated and confusing expressions of the people around him and asked loudly, "Master Qin, do you think I am joking with you?"

Shopkeeper Qin replied with a serious face at this time: "No, I think that since we met, Young Master Zhang has never been as serious as he is now."

Zhang Yanling breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good... Do you want to accept the proposal of partnership and fully participate in my business? Let me make it clear first, even if you invest 5,000 taels of silver, you can only own 40% of the shares, and the decision-making power is still in my hands." Xu Gong protested, "Young Master Zhang, isn't it unreasonable for you to do this? Who has ever seen someone who pays money and gets a smaller share?"

Zhang Yanling shook his head and said, "Money is important, but the technology I provide is more important! I know what you are worried about. You are afraid that your investment will go down the drain, or that I will use the money for other purposes. I am an official and you are a civilian. You will have no one to turn to for help!
"But I swear, I'm not such a mean person! Let me put it this way, I will list every expense in detail, and I will never transfer a penny to my own house. The accounts will be clear and organized, and even people who don't know much about it can understand it at a glance!
"And I will accept a public audit of my accounts. Basically, you can send someone to monitor my spending to ensure that every penny is spent wisely."

When Zhang Heling heard this, he quickly pulled his brother's sleeve.

meaning is.

Are you stupid?
They have sent someone special to supervise you, so it will be extremely difficult for you to profit from it. I am still waiting to move some of the five thousand taels of silver back home.

Shopkeeper Qin said, "Your plan sounds very detailed. Let's not talk about whether the soda ash you mentioned can be produced. Even if it can be produced, will anyone really need it?"

Zhang Yanling smiled and unfolded the remaining rice paper: "Mr. Qin asked a good question. Here I have to mention my market research."

"..."

Shopkeeper Qin was speechless. You came prepared!
But Zhang Yanling said, "Because this business was planned in the capital, the current market research only covers the vicinity of the capital. First, the price of plant ash is involved. This is the market situation of plant ash in the past few days. This is the amount of soda ash needed by the printing and dyeing industries such as silk and cloth, as well as the current supply situation...

"This is a letter of intent for demand for goods from surrounding markets. In general, I have inquired about their purchase channels and their demand gaps. Of course, we cannot determine future profits based on current prices, because as we produce more soda ash, the price of goods will definitely drop.

“But we are not afraid of market shocks because our resources are inexhaustible, which of course involves cost issues.

"This is the cost accounting sheet. I need you to provide some salt... I only need some brine. There is no need to boil the salt for purification."

As he spoke, Zhang Yanling handed a few pages of PPT to Manager Qin.

Shopkeeper Qin was checking carefully, but Xu Gong couldn't stand it anymore and said disdainfully, "Young Master, you went through so much trouble just to ask us for money?"

Zhang Yanling said: "This is a cooperative business, so naturally we have to take everything into consideration. I will do my best to make you feel that I have made careful preparations, including providing technology, conducting market research, and making future forecasts, etc., in order to prove that I can bring you a steady stream of profits. If you still think this business is not worth doing, then I can't force you. You know, creativity and technology are all in my hands.

"Let's put it this way... Once you leave this door today, there will definitely be no other family doing business with you. This is the only business in the world."

Shopkeeper Qin had already finished reading the plan, and nodded with a smile, saying, "Young Master has considered everything carefully, and even inquired about the sales channels in advance. This should not include the sales channels of fertilizers you mentioned, right?"

"Of course."

Zhang Yanling said, "This industry is a sunrise industry. The so-called sunrise means it is new and has never existed before. It is the first time in the world. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as having a bright future. The birth of this industry will definitely bring prosperity to related industries. The function I mentioned is only a small part of it. In the future, more industries may be derived from it, and it is guaranteed to make a lot of money!"

Shopkeeper Qin carefully digested Zhang Yanling's words, and after a while he asked curiously, "Was all this instigated by your father?"

"No, no, no!"

Zhang Yanling shrugged and said, "I've said it before, my father is not involved in the business. Does it matter whether he gave the order or not?"

Shopkeeper Qin looked at Zhang Yanling and said cautiously, "Then can I ask my people to do another investigation on the data you provided after returning? It won't take long, and I can give you an accurate answer tomorrow."

"it is good."

Zhang Yanling stood up and said, "Then I will wait for good news."
