Chapter 158 The trap of making a fortune

Just as dawn was dawn, Li Dongdong found Li Yanqing in a panic, "Brother Qing, something happened?"

Li Yanqing was writing a letter to his family. He put down his pen and smiled: "Don't be anxious! Tell me slowly, what happened?"

Li Dongdong was so anxious that she almost cried, "My secret recipe is gone!"

"What is a secret recipe?"

"It is a book that records the recipes for mosquito anti-mosquito liquid and mosquito coils and how to make them."

Li Yanqing suddenly thought of Liu Da and Liu Er. Except for them, there would be no one else, but how could he disappear? He asked calmly: "When did it be lost?"

"It was last night, I saw it last night, this morning."

As soon as he said this, Li Dongdong's face turned pale. He stomped his feet hard, "Damn it, my wife, let's see how I deal with her!"

Except for his wife, no one knows where the secret recipe is hidden? It must be her, she stole the secret recipe to her parents' home.

He turned around and left with hatred, but Li Yanqing grabbed him, "Don't do it randomly, it won't be your wife's doing it!"

"Why?"

Li Yanqing sighed, "You will understand after thinking about it. If she had this intention, she would have stolen it long ago and copied it and put it back. Is it necessary for your brother-in-law to torture you like yesterday?"

Li Dongdong was stunned for a moment. This was indeed the case. Although his wife used mosquito anti-swallow to honor her father, she would not give up the opportunity to her elder brother.

"Then what should I do?" Li Dongdong said anxiously.

Li Yanqing took two steps behind his hands, suddenly remembered something and asked, "I remember you couple are illiterate, who copied the secret recipe?"

"It was my dictated and recorded by my son."

Li Dongdong suddenly realized, "Is it my son?"

Li Yanqing took a sip of tea and said lightly: "Actually, I wanted to persuade you yesterday, so I told your elder brother the recipe and used 500 stag to plate his restaurant."

"But it took me several months to test this secret recipe countless times before I failed. What did their Liu family do? Just let them take away my wealth?"

Li Dongdong was extremely excited, but Li Yanqing shook his head. Although Li Dongdong was smart and capable, his level was still a little lower. This kind of mosquito coil and mosquito anti-film are not high-tech things. As long as it appears on the market, imitations will come out immediately.

Moreover, whether the people of Bianjing can accept it is another matter. The Liu family is willing to spend money and effort to promote and promote it, and are willing to be a martyr, so why not do it?

Everyone can make perfumes, so why does Chanel’s perfume sell so expensively? The key lies in the brand.

However, Li Dongdong could not accept this kind of thinking, so Li Yanqing continued to instruct him, "You can figure it out yourself. How many people know this recipe?"

"You, I know, your father, Li Yanbiao knows, there are two incense-making craftsmen, and my son knows, and there are seven people in total."

"That's right. All seven people know this recipe. Can you defend against it? If I'm not wrong, Liu Dading found your son yesterday afternoon. If you don't give him the recipe, he will kidnap your son. What should you do? Fortunately, you have a secret recipe book, and your son escaped the disaster. Didn't you expect it?"

Li Yanqing's words hit Li Dongdong's heart. He was scared and angry, and unwilling to accept it. He simply held his head and squatted down, moaning in pain, "Brother Qing, what should I do now?"

Li Yanqing pondered for a moment and said, "It's just dawn now. Judging from the time, it's very likely that the secret recipe book is still in your son's hands. You should hurry up and find your son and bring the secret recipe book to me."

Li Dongdong jumped up and washed away like a gust of wind.

Li Yanqing was walking back and forth in the room. He had thought of making mosquito coils before because he didn't understand the actual situation in Bianjing. However, since he saw the Rouge Shop with his own eyes yesterday, he realized that making mosquito coils actually couldn't make money.

The reason is very simple. Mosquito coils want to make money all depend on running volume. Even if Li Dongdong creates mosquito coils, how much market can he occupy? Imitators are rushing around the world. At that time, each state has its own mosquito coils, and Li Dongdong will occupy a small part of the market in Bianjing at most.

Mosquito coils are used by rich people for incense, while poor people for cheaper moxa ropes are used by only ordinary people, and they can only be used for summer. To put it bluntly, I'm afraid Li Dongdong will not even be able to collect the book by then.

If you want to make money, you still have to rely on high-end brands or high-tech things, such as rouge perfume. If you become famous, you will be rich.

Li Yanqing has decided to give up mosquito coils and switch to cosmetics business, which is a broad market.

After a moment, Li Dongdong ran back panting, holding a small notebook in his hand. He smiled and said, "Brother Qing is still good. The secret recipe is really in my son's hands. Liu Da coaxed him yesterday and exchanged it with Danxiangzhai's cakes. The little bastard agreed if he couldn't withstand the temptation."

Li Yanqing flipped through the notebook, and then he picked up the pen and copied it intact, but changed the key formula of mosquito-repellent wild chrysanthemum to mugwort juice.

He handed the copybook to Li Dongdong, "Take it to talk to your father-in-law, tell him that you not only promised to give him the secret recipe, but also teach them to make the rosy mosquito coils step by step. I believe he will be very willing, of course it is not for nothing. You can put forward the conditions you want most."

"Do you really give it to them?" Li Dongdong said unwillingly.

"It is up to you to decide whether to give it to him or not. I will not interfere. I will only tell you something. If you have a deep relationship with them, then don't give it to them, but if you hate them to the core and wish they would lose everything, give them the secret recipe."

Li Dongdong was stunned, "Brother Qing, how do you say this?"

Li Yanqing said lightly: "The risk of mosquito coils and mosquito anti-film is too great. The reason I asked you to do it is because I have a way to make money with it, but they definitely can't."

Li Yanqing pointed at his head, "They lack this!"

Li Dongdong finally understood a little, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Then change my son's surname back and let his surname be Li and no longer Liu."

Li Dongdong turned around and was about to leave, and Li Yanqing called him again, "Wait!"

Li Yanqing picked up a drawing from the table and handed it to Li Dongdong, "Please ask Brother Dong to find a blacksmith to make this set of utensils with pig iron. This set of utensils is crucial. We rely on it for our wealth. Brother Dong must not let anyone know."

Li Dongdong looked at it for a long time but couldn't understand, "What is this?"

"You can find a blacksmith to build it first, and I'll tell you later."

Li Yanqing came to Beijing a little early, and it was only a month before the Taixue formally registered. Several good friends were quarantined for training, but the new friend Niu Gao, whom he met, could not leave Wuxue at any time. He was really bored.

But the shopkeeper still found something for him. Just as Li Dongdong left, the shopkeeper Han brought the famous Zhuang Zhaiya to the door.

Zhuang Zhaiyaren is today's real estate agency. There are so many people in Bianjing, but they do things more standardizedly, manage more strictly, and punish more severely.

This Zhuangziya man is named Li Gouer. He is over thirty years old and is also from Tangyin. His three generations of grandparents and grandchildren worked as real estate agents in Bianjing. After three generations of unremitting efforts, he finally bought three houses in Bianjing when Li Gouer was this generation, and officially became a Bianjing owner. His original name was Li Gouer, but he felt that he was not worthy of the identity of a Beijinger, so he changed it to Li Gouer.

In the eyes of people in my hometown, if you can buy a house in Beijing, you will be successful. So in my hometown, whether father and son quarrel, grandparents and grandchildren quarrel or couple quarrel, Li Gou'er will be involved, 'Look at Li Gou'er, and then look at you'

So the grandfather was furious, the father was furious, the grandson gritted his teeth, the husband was depressed, and then there was nothing left. Life had to be lived, and the role model of the Li Gouer family had to be established. Unless the Li Gouer family sold the house in the capital, the role model would collapse and more people would gloat, just like Li Daqi back then.

Perhaps because he was from the capital, Li Gouer's waist was straight in front of his fellow villagers, and his chin was raised up habitually. However, when he heard from the shopkeeper that Li Yanqing was Jieyuan in Xiangzhou, all of his problems disappeared, becoming particularly enthusiastic, and his waist became a little softer invisibly.

"Since last year, the certification conditions for waiting households and second-class households have been reduced. The housing supply of the five-bedroom and four-bedroom houses in the courtyard are very tight everywhere. I only have three-bedroom houses in my hands. They are either scattered five-bedroom houses, not in the house, or they are living in a large courtyard with others."

Of course, Li Yanqing didn't want to live with others, nor did he want to live in scattered areas, because in addition to his father, there were also Magpie, Qing'er and Jusao who had to come, and at least four rooms in the yard, he was a little embarrassed.

At this time, Li Gouer suddenly remembered, "Little official, are you considering the house outside the city? There are two houses outside the city! The rent is cheap."

Li Yanqing didn't know whether to consider it. Instead of listening to the slander's hype, he would rather look at it truthfully, and said, "Go and have a look!"

The two properties mentioned by Li Gouer are outside the West City, not far from the city gate, the houses are located in the city and the houses are two miles away from the city.

The house was a five-bedroom house in the courtyard, but the surrounding environment was too bad, dirty and messy, and it was no different from Erhuai Lane where my father lives now. Li Yanqing immediately rejected it.

The second house is pretty good, with four bedrooms in the courtyard, quiet environment, convenient transportation, and close to the Bian River. Although there are four families living in, the owner promised that as long as they sign a three-year lease and pay the rent in the second round, he could drive all the four families away.

Li Gouer saw that Li Yanqing was a little hesitant and thought he couldn't bear to drive out the people. She smiled and said, "Young officials just came to Beijing! It's normal to change houses in Beijing. Unless you rent a public house, you can live in it for a long time. Of course, the landlord has the final say in this kind of private house. This is someone's house. If they want to take it back, they can be taken back. The lease contract is clearly written!"

"Let me think about it again!"

Of course, Li Yanqing was a little unbearable, but he felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong. His intuition told him that he needed to be cautious.

"The little official is thinking slowly, I'll go to the homeowner to talk about the price."

After Li Gou'er left, Li Yanqing stood in the distance and looked at the house carefully. He finally found out what the problem was. Such a big mansion covers at least two acres of land and has a front yard and back yard. It only costs two cents of money a month.

It costs at least ten cents of money in the city. For example, the warehouse rented by Li Dongdong in Tianbo Bridge is only a large house, and it costs four cents of money a month. Although it is outside the city, it is very close to the city and it is not only two cents of money. Why is the rent of this big house so cheap? There must be a problem here.

At this time, an old man came over and said slowly: "Since the little official can afford to rent a big house, why do you want to rent this house? You will regret it."

"My father, is there anything wrong with this house?"

"Didn't the little official notice that its terrain is too low?"

Li Yanqing was stunned. He noticed that the terrain was indeed a bit low-lying. The old man said again: "It's early spring now, and I can't see it. In summer, it rains heavily and the whole house was soaked in water. The Bian River rose in the year before yesterday, and the house was flooded directly. If it weren't for the three hundred cents, who would have loved to live here?"
