Two generations back, the Sang family's ancestral home was in this small county town. Later they moved to Luoyang and gradually developed into a huge business family. Sang Yanghong himself has been very smart since he was a child. Sang Hongyang, who is only thirteen years old, has
He was famous in Luoyang for being "good at mental arithmetic" and was selected into the palace when Emperor Jing was still in power.
He also became Emperor Wu's companion for a long time. Because he was really good at mental arithmetic and had outstanding business skills, he gradually became Emperor Wu's right-hand man.
However, because he was born as a merchant, his official position was still only that of Shizhong (a casual position among the palace officials under the Shaofu directly assigned by the emperor). Because he was deeply trusted by the emperor, although his official position was not high, his status was very high.
He was involved in making plans on many important matters.
The Sang family has become more and more powerful, and Chinese people attach great importance to their hometown where they make a fortune, so the Sang family's ancestral home in the county is very grand, and people will come back during the holidays.
At this time, the person in charge of the Sang family in the county was Sang Hongyang's nephew Sang Tianliang. When he first learned the name, Huo Guang checked with Huo Zhongru several times to make sure he heard it correctly. There was nothing wrong with the name, so he just brought it with him.
The last name is not very pleasant, but when I look at Huo Zhongru, I don't feel strange at all. Maybe this word is not a problem at this time.
Although Sang Tianliang is Sang Hongyang's nephew, he is only three years older than Sang Hongyang, so he is older and younger.
Huo Zhongru and Sang Tianliang greeted each other warmly, as if they were very close old friends, but in fact they were meeting for the first time.
"Master Huo, Mr. Huo, please come in." Sang Tianliang warmly invited the two of them in.
Upon entering Huo Guang's house, he really felt like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden.
The Sang Mansion looks quite big from the outside, but once inside it feels even bigger. There are countless houses, courtyards, beautiful houses, beautiful maids, and servants who keep walking by with their heads lowered.
"It made you two laugh." Sang Tianliang saw that the two of them had never seen such a house, but he did not laugh at it.
With their family's ability, they easily found out why Huo Zhongru was promoted to the county magistrate in charge of money. How could they ridicule Huo Zhongru before it was too late to please him.
In terms of official position, their family member Sang Hongyang was a small official, far behind Huo Qubing. Not to mention the emperor's favor, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty almost treated Huo Qubing as his own son.
Soon Huo Guang saw Sang Jin and Sang Yu again in the main hall.
In this era, harem women are generally not allowed to meet people, and this is indeed the case in the capital, but in this small county, the rules are much smaller. If Sang Yu likes to eat, she often plays in the kitchen of her restaurant, and her sister Sang Jin is not very
After going out, I came here specifically to see Huo Guang today.
In the middle hall, Sang Jin held the little girl and smiled tenderly at Huo Guang.
"Ah Guang, we meet again."
Before Huo Guang could speak, Huo Zhongru came up to him with a smile and said hello, "Miss Sang Jin, we meet again."
"Uncle, just call me Ajin. Young Master Huo can also be called me the same way."
"Contact is inevitable in the future, so I won't be polite. A Jin, you all tasted the fine salt that A Guang gave you last time. It's not bad."
Sang Jin's beautiful eyes were flowing, with a slight smile on her big watery eyes: "Uncle, Aguang's salt is indeed of very good quality. If there is still more, I am willing to buy it at a high price."
"Female... Young Master, my salt..."
"What's your name, young master? I'm a little different. I'll call you Ajin after my father." Huo Zhongru interrupted Huo Guang on the spot.
Huo Guang was speechless in his heart, but in order to avoid embarrassment he said: "Ah...Ajin, this salt is actually refined from the salt on the market. I can refine it on a large scale after my tools are built."
"Refining?" Sang Jin repeated the word with some confusion: "Is it the same method as refining elixirs?"
"It's almost the same. After a few steps, you can turn the salt on the market into the fine salt I gave you before. It's better looking and healthier."
The daughter of a businessman has a very high sense of business.
"Aguang, I heard that you are going to open a salt shop to sell this kind of salt? Can you let our Sang family's salt shop sell it together? We have a way to sell it to all parts of the country."
Sang Jin was very enthusiastic about cooperating with Huo Guang.
Is this how a time-traveling male protagonist should be treated? Women all want to pounce on him.
But now that he can take advantage of the existing sales channels of large commercial banks, Huo Guang can indeed benefit the most in a short period of time.
Opening a store in a small county is far less profitable than being a supplier to a large commercial bank.
But we can’t completely rely on the Sang family’s sales network, because the technology of purifying fine salt by yourself is not difficult now. As long as someone sees the whole process, they will learn it. If you completely rely on other people’s sales network, you may earn two or three dollars.
The monthly money is gone, and I still have to find a way to build my own sales channel.
Treat your customers like you would treat your girlfriend, you can feel at ease only if you can hold them in your hand.
"Ah...Ajin." Huo Guang still shouted unskilledly. He was not as familiar as Huo Zhongru: "If you can sell it, I can give you a part of the pearl salt."
"Pearl salt? Is that the name of this salt?"
"Yes, I did it."
If you want to sell something expensive, you must first choose a good name. If the name sounds cheap, do you still want to sell it expensive?
Things like Lake Assal pearl salt and Himalayan rose salt can be sold at a high price just by listening to them. Packaging is very important. Although Huo Guang only has simple fine salt now, the name must be good. After thinking about it, I decided to call it pearl.
The salt is ready.
In this era, pure white pearls were very expensive and were only used as decorations by high-ranking officials, so it was very expensive to call them pearl salt.
Sang Jin nodded: "It's a very nice name, Bairuo Pearl, Aguang. How many pearl salts are there now?"
In order to ensure the price of pearl salt when it was just launched, Huo Guang planned to starve the market and control the output. After thinking about it, he said: "According to the current progress, it will only cost half a jun per day (one jun = thirty kilograms), so I can give you half."
Sang Jin immediately shook his head: "It's too little. Aguang, do you have any way to increase production?"
Huo Guang immediately said: "I'll try my best, but it won't be much more. I can give you as much as possible and give you 90% of the daily output. But at the same time, you can't sell pearl salt in this county."
, to avoid conflict with my own salt shop."
When Huo Guang said this, both Sang Jin and Sang Tianliang looked at him in surprise, a little surprised and a little appreciative. Both of them realized that Huo Guang's approach was correct. He wanted to protect his own interests and at the same time ensure that
There is room for cooperation with big salt merchants like the Sang family.
They knew that Huo Guang had never been in business before, so this could only be attributed to his keen business acumen.
Sang Jin immediately made a decision: "Okay, I will accept this matter, but how to calculate the price of pearl salt?"
"I have seen the salt on the market. Each stone (one stone = four jun = one hundred and twenty catties) costs 600 yuan. As the market fluctuates, I plan to sell pearl salt for 6,000 yuan per stone. Of course I will give it to you.
The cost is three thousand yuan per stone, but you have to sell it at a price no lower than what I set."
At ten times the price, even Sang Jin was stunned.
