Chapter 53 Confrontation
Shen Zhongxiao left in a hurry and couldn't do much for Shen Lin.
But some of the information he revealed before leaving was enough to make Shen Lin wary.
Family fighting?
Shen Lin really didn't want to participate, it was too boring.
The group of people watched the sailboat go away.
Shen Zhongxin called Shen Lin over.
This second uncle is in his early forties, tall and thin.
A pair of sharp eyes with a chilling cold light.
"Shen Lin, you are very good! No wonder big brother thinks so highly of you!"
"You really should go to Fengqiu with him. What's the point of staying in a small place like Anding?"
What's the meaning?
Didn't you move your home?
And drove Shen Yi to Datong?
Traveling around the Great Week?
To be honest, are you an uncle who can’t see this excuse?
Fortunately, he has treated Shen Yi as his own son over the years.
Careful teaching takes a lot of effort.
Shen Lin was implicitly wary of Shen Zhongxin and planned to stay away from him.
"Second uncle, you are too praised."
"My nephew doesn't have any big ambitions."
"I just want to stay in Lushuihe Village and live my own life, that's all!"
Shen Zhongxin looked up and down at the cheap nephew in front of him.
At this look,
Only then did she realize that Shen Lin straightened his back and his sharp edge was gradually revealed.
It's like a sword about to be born under a sharp stone.
Would a person like you be willing to stay in a small village like Lushui River?
Spending a lifetime mediocre?
Anyway, your uncle and I have these eyes that can read countless people.
I am confident that I will not misjudge you.
"Hahaha, okay, the world is in chaos, it's not bad to be a hermit."
"I heard that your cement is amazing? How do you use it?"
Shen Lin was startled.
Haven't you been studying behind closed doors?
Are you well informed?
Looking at Shen Zhongru who was smiling and saying nothing, Shen Lin said calmly.
"Oh, that thing was made by chance."
"It's being tested now."
"About one pound of cement, two pounds of river sand and three pounds of gravel."
"One to two to three, after solidification, the hardness is no less than bluestone."
There were no less than a hundred people from direct and collateral lines of the Shen family present.
This person is still qualified to come to see Shen Zhongxiao off.
Everyone's eyes were shining brightly.
Once cement is produced, what bricks should be fired?
Shen Zhongxin suddenly smiled.
"It's our first time meeting you. How about your second uncle giving you a big deal?"
Alarm bells rang in Shen Lin's heart.
Coming.
You old man is very bad.
Do you have the same idea as Shen Zhongru?
"Oh? Second uncle, I have to explain in advance that the cement is not perfect yet."
"Firing technology is also the foundation for my nephew to settle down and make a living."
"So, if you want to buy technology, don't mention it."
Let me stop talking first.
In front of so many tribesmen, you can't just fall out, right?
It's not fun to have a bad reputation of bullying the small and trying to steal the family's property.
From now on, who will dare to associate with your family?
"Hahaha!"
Shen Zhongxin pointed at Shen Lin and cursed with a smile.
"You little monkey, your second uncle is not that miserable."
"The walls of our courtyard need to be rebuilt, and the water conservancy channels in Shenjiaji need to be renovated."
"If I use your cement, the quantity will be quite large."
"If you don't want to sell your technology, my second uncle won't force you."
"Then we will supply the cement at one penny per kilogram according to the price you are giving the village now?"
"how?"
Just buy cement?
sure.
Who is Shen Lin selling to but not selling?
It's nothing more than building another cement kiln.
"At least two cents per catty. The money used by the village is considered as a test product. My nephew, I will lose money."
"Two cents a pound?" Shen Zhongru immediately quit.
"You've gone too far. Are you going to kill me like a fat sheep?"
"The green bricks on the market can be purchased for ten yuan per penny, weighing around twenty kilograms."
"Your cement mixed with sand and gravel only weighs six pounds!"
Can the account be calculated like this?
How come future generations vigorously promote cement?
Of course, bricks and tiles are also one of the main building materials and are equally indispensable.
Shen Lin clapped his fingers and said.
"Uncle San, don't you understand now?"
"To build a wall with green bricks, do you need a large amount of glutinous rice pulp mixed with plant ash for jointing?"
"Isn't this cost less than the original cost of the green bricks?"
"As for the sturdiness, can your brick wall compare to my cement wall?"
"Suppose your project lasts ten years."
"My nephew, my cement wall is a century-old project."
The quality of Shen Lin's current cement is definitely not up to standard.
No matter how hard we try, we can't achieve the level of a century-old project.
But the cowhide still needs to be blown.
Isn’t that what doing business is all about?
Anyway, everyone present can’t see a hundred years from now, can they?
"Uncle San, if you think the cost is too high."
"You can use cement slurry to joint, or you can apply a layer of cement on the inside and outside."
"Anyway, it's several times stronger than a simple brick wall."
"Don't believe it? We can do an experiment!"
My house is also renovating the courtyard wall, you can go and see it.
On this point, Shen Lin really didn't lie.
Shen Zhongxin pinched his sparse beard and pondered for a moment.
"Two cents per catty is too expensive."
"Shen Lin, the second uncle will be the middle one, one and a half cents, it can't be any higher."
"My family's consumption is more than tens of thousands of kilograms!"
Of course Shen Lin knew that the amount of cement used in Shenjiaji was terrifying.
Otherwise, Shen Zhongru would not be so shameless as to seek for production technology.
Shen Zhongxin is so easy to talk to today.
On the contrary, it made Shen Lin more vigilant.
This is a wily and scheming person.
You can't guess what he plans to do next.
At least on the surface, you can't find fault with him.
"Okay, since this is my family, my nephew will earn less."
Once the sale is concluded, there is no need to stay long.
Shen Lin took Liang Zizhong and rode back to the village.
Here, Shen Zhongru quietly asked his second brother.
"Second brother, why did you suddenly change your mind?"
"Do we really have to spend thousands of taels of silver to buy it?"
"This kid doesn't know what's good or bad, why should we let him make money?"
Shen Zhongxin chuckled.
"I wish it were that simple."
"Thanks to you for doing business for so many years, you don't know how to use any tricks?"
"If he doesn't sell his skills, wouldn't you try to steal them?"
Stealing lessons?
Shen Zhongru slapped his thigh.
Alas, I was really confused myself.
You have to rely on the second child to wake up the dreamer.
"That's right, that kid made his fortune less than half a year ago, and now he has more than a hundred people."
“How much cash reserves can we have?”
"As long as the quantity I want is large, Third Uncle, I don't have to worry about him not recruiting people."
“There are thousands of people living in the entire Lushui River Village.”
"I still don't believe it, everyone is turning to him."
Shen Zhongxin nodded.
"This is not enough, we need to take a multi-pronged approach."
"Cement is a good thing. You also said that in this kind of weather, it can be as strong as a stone in one day."
"Building a city is the biggest need!"
"Our Shen family has a fleet. Do you want Chanzhou City?"
"How about the Xiongzhou front line? What about other places? You can sell it for five cents a pound, and no one will even blink an eye!"
"A large ship of 5,000 dan, a dozen or twenty ships make a trip, and come and go every few days.
“We can sell tens of millions of kilograms of cement a year without having to worry about selling it!”
"Can Shen Lin not expand production?"
“You’re not making any money out of the ready-made money?”
The two brothers conspired.
