After all, Pang Ji was also a third-rank civil servant. Faced with his active advances, some low-level officials were naturally flattered. After taking the cigarette, they all asked him what he liked, regardless of how effective it was.
Where can I buy it and how much is it worth?
Once someone talks about this issue, Pang Jibian will transform into a kindergarten teacher and explain it patiently and seriously.
This attitude made the low-level officials very excited. Just because they could talk to the third-rank officials at such close distance and establish friendship, they decided to buy cigarettes, not for anything else, but just to be able to make friends with them.
If Pang Ji remembers himself, everything will be worth it.
In this way, the whole morning has passed, and Pang Ji has gained a lot. He doesn't know how many orders he has received. Now as long as he has enough supply, there will be absolutely no problem in selling. At that time, a lot of money will flow in like water.
Your own pocket.
After he has money, he doesn't have to think about other ideas, he can continue to be as clean as water, and he may be able to sit in a higher position.
On the rockery, Su Shi saw Pang Ji walking among the crowd like a salesman.
Wherever Pang Ji passed, you could see the light smoke rising soon after, which proved that he was a qualified and even excellent gold medal salesman.
Cigarettes are no different from others. Acceptance requires a process. The most difficult thing is to get people to accept it initially. As long as they have smoked it, it is difficult for many men to refuse its temptation. As for whether it is harmful to the human body, the system produces
The side effects have been minimized.
Not to mention, cigarettes are now a luxury product, and the price is not something that the common people can accept.
Since it was these noble people and rich people who were hurt, Su Shi didn't care.
This has nothing to do with any hatred of the rich. Su Shi just wants to make money from them. If you don’t have money, wouldn’t it be possible to cheat you?
Besides, Pang Ji was always accompanied by the fragrance of light smoke along the way. He already liked the feeling of puffing away smoke, especially the feeling of taking the smoke into his lungs.
Thinking that if he likes it, there must be a lot of others who like it, and people will come to him in a steady stream. When he finally makes a lot of money, he feels full of strength again, and he starts to look around.
Find new goals.
The fireworks rising from the rockery, especially the scent of barbecue, moved with the wind and floated thousands of miles away. It was impossible for Pang Ji not to smell it. When he raised his head, he saw King Jing, Princess Fukang and Su Shi, who he was looking for now.
.
"Haha." Seeing that Su Shi was on top and His Royal Highness King Jing was also there, Pang Ji felt happy, so he looked for the steps and climbed up.
On the rockery, Bao Heizi had almost eaten, and even burped twice invisibly. When he noticed Pang Ji coming up the stairs, he stretched out and said, "Eat."
Now that I'm full, I should go down the mountain to visit the garden. Say goodbye."
After saying this, Bao Heizi bowed to King Jing and Princess Fukang and then went down the mountain.
"Uncle Bao, you don't like Pang Ji?" Su Shi noticed something, reached out and grabbed Bao Heizi's sleeve as he was about to leave, and asked with a smile.
"Humph! This person is too philistine. He is not an official, but more like a businessman." Bao Heizi said coldly. But then he thought that Su Shi seemed to be a businessman too, so he shook his head and said, "What a pity.
It's a pity that Brother Shi can't move his legs, otherwise you should walk more and see the thousands of miles of mountains in the Song Dynasty."
Having said that, he ignored Su Shi's reaction and walked leisurely down the mountain with his hands behind his back.
They say you don’t slap someone in the face when you hit them, and you don’t expose someone’s shortcomings when you scold them.
It was a bit taboo for Bao Heizi to say that he couldn't move his legs in front of Su Shi. But Su Shi knew that Bao Heizi was such a person, and he often said whatever he wanted. In fact, he didn't mean to be sarcastic or mocking, so he
So I didn’t take it into consideration mentally.
However, Princess Fukang, who was eating happily at the side, heard this and said with an unhappy face, "Brother Su is a wonderful doctor. He can cure any disease. He can definitely stand up, right?"
"Haha, Rou'er has confidence in me. Yes, I will definitely be able to stand up." Su Shi knew that Zhao Huirou was defending himself against injustice and had good intentions, so he laughed out loud.
Being indirectly praised by Su Shi, Zhao Huirou looked happy. But when he saw another official coming to the rockery, he looked unhappy and said to Liang Huaiji behind him: "Go, look under the rockery, and say
His Royal Highness King Jing is a little tired, so don’t come up without permission."
"Yes." Liang Huaiji immediately agreed, and then led the two young father-in-laws down the rockery.
Pang Ji didn't know that his appearance would arouse Princess Fukang's resentment.
Of course, even if he knew it, he wouldn't care. Both Princess Fukang and King Jing are just children. Renzong Zhao Zhen is now in his prime, and it will take many years until these little guys have the right to speak.
Woolen cloth.
He is originally a realist, and he will speak for anyone who is beneficial to him.
This is exactly the kind of character Su Shi likes. Being friends with such people will be of great benefit to Su Shi to gain a foothold.
"I have met His Royal Highness King Jing and His Royal Highness Princess Fukang." As soon as he got on the rockery, he first performed courteous rituals.
"Get up and talk. It's just that I have to talk to Tongzhiro later. If you have something to say, please speak quickly." King Jing Zhao Xi looked dissatisfied. He also wanted to hear Su Shi continue to talk about Journey to the West. It's better now.
An official would come, and soon a minister would come, and he would be asked to have a good talk with Brother Su.
"I understand." Pang Ji said with a serious face. He did not expect that Su Shi would be so favored by His Highness King Jing, which made him even more determined to make friends.
After agreeing, Pang Ji deliberately found a seat on Su Shi's left hand side, which was further away from King Jing, achieving the state of "out of sight, out of mind".
As soon as they sat down, Pang Ji, who was still solemn at first, suddenly became excited, "Brother Su, this cigarette is so good that people can't put it down!"
"Can we do this business?" Su Shi asked with a smile.
"Yes, of course I can, but I just don't know how many such things there are and whether they can be sold." Pang Ji nodded vigorously, showing his approval of this thing.
"Not enough to sell."
Under Pang Ji's expectant gaze, Su Shi shook his head and said: "You know Rencha and Shao Daozi, these things also need to be restricted in purchase."
"ah!"
For a moment, Pang Ji had a sad face. He was worried about the production of cigarettes before he came. Now it seems that he was right.
"What? I feel a little distressed. You have to know that items with limited purchase are valuable. If everyone can smoke it if they want, it is not a good thing." Su Shi smiled again, this Pang Ji is also a
A wonderful person behaves like a gentleman in front of others, but in front of himself, he fully expresses his love for money and does not regard himself as an outsider.
This is the cleverness of Pang Ji. Since he wants to cooperate with Su Shi, of course he must express his sincerity.
Tear off all the disguises and reveal his true self. This is how he wants to tell Su Shi that I have nothing to hide from you, but I really treat you as a good friend.
"That's what I say, but it still makes people feel regretful that they can't make money." Although Pang Ji had been prepared for it, he still felt a little disappointed when he heard this answer.
"The supply of goods is extremely scarce, leading to shortages. It's true that you can't make money if you have money. But on the other hand, you can definitely make a lot of money. Let's talk about these cigarettes. I have several kinds here, divided into different grades.
The price is also very expensive. It's just like the one you smoke, but it's just mid-level. There are 20 sticks in a box. How much can it be sold for?"
Su Shi first denied Pang Ji Shaolii's statement, and then started to talk about pricing.
Whether it's Ren tea, burning knives or cigarettes, Su Shi won't take out too much.
On the one hand, he has limited faith points in his hands. The most important thing is that he can take more initiative by not taking out too many goods at once, and it will become a seller's market.
If there is an overflow of goods on the street, there will be a backlog of goods, and he will lack the initiative.
Of course, there is a more important point. The quantity of goods is not large. This is also the best way to protect yourself. Even if some people are greedy or jealous. But when you see that he does not ship much, you will have a psychological balance.
Some, he could raise fewer enemies.
When the price was mentioned, Pang Ji immediately became energetic, but before talking, he had one more thing to confirm, and that was the issue of his own interests.
"Um...Brother Su, you see, I'm so busy working on this matter..."
When Pang Ji also wanted to talk about his hard work, especially how much he had contributed to the promotion of cigarettes, so as to gain more benefits for himself, Su Shi already stretched out two fingers and said: "Twenty percent
.”
"ah!"
He was directly given a 20% benefit, which made Pang Ji's eyes widen in an instant. Obviously, this result made him very satisfied.
But no matter what Pang Ji thinks, Su Shi believes that some ugly things should be mentioned earlier. "Brother Pang Pang, you also know that this thing is not produced here. It has to be transported from thousands of miles or even further away. Among them,
The cost is quite high, plus I have to pay 20% of the business tax, so I have to save a little, and I can give 20% to Brother Pangda, which is not a small amount."
"Twenty percent commercial tax? I should pay 10%, right?" Pang Ji asked with some confusion.
During the Song Dynasty, there was no objection to doing business, and even officials were allowed to do so. However, they had to pay commercial taxes, and most goods had to pay taxes of up to 10%. This was also one of the important reasons for the economic development of the Song Dynasty.
