Chapter 1505 Dege'er and Wang Jijun's Cooperation
Three days later, Dege'er and Wang Jijun's grandson's caravan set off again, because it was an auspicious day calculated by Master Zhang.
Dege complained, "Shanzi, I've only been home for a few days, why do we have to leave again?"
Sun Shan spread his hands and said helplessly, "You ask me? Who should I ask? This is an auspicious day that Magistrate Wang asked Taoist Zhang to calculate."
Dege gave Magistrate Wang a severe scolding, and then he also gave Taoist Zhang a scolding.
He complained, "Shanzi, why don't you write a letter back to Sunjia Village and bring over Yang the fortune teller from Yangjia Village? He's more accurate than Zhang the Taoist priest."
Sun Shan, with a straight face, spouted nonsense: "Brother De, that's wrong. Yang the fortune teller is from Huangyang County, and Zhang the Taoist priest is from Yuanlu County."
Now that we're deep in Yuanlu County, we definitely need to follow local customs; even fortune tellers have to be local to be effective. Although Fortune Teller Yang is very skilled, he might not adapt well to the local environment in Yuanlu County.”
De Geer: .....
She rolled her eyes dramatically.
Uncle Sun couldn't stand it any longer and slapped him.
He said fiercely, "You little brat, if I tell you to do something, then do it. Why are you talking so much? Do you not want to do it, or do you not want to do it? If you don't want to do it, someone else will. Humph, if you don't want to do it, I'll do it."
Turning around, he looked at Sun Shan with a fawning expression and said ingratiatingly, "Shanzi, why don't you let me go? Although I don't speak Mandarin or Yuanlu dialect, I'm smart and capable. Dali and Deputy Steward Wang are here too."
Through their translation, I can not only complete the task, but also help you find good things. Shanzi, Uncle San has traveled all over the country and done countless business deals over the years. Apart from suffering from a lack of education, he is better than Dege in every aspect.
"Shanzi, let your third uncle go. He'll make a fortune and have a prosperous New Year."
Sun Shan did not refuse, but instead shifted the blame.
He nodded and said, "Third Uncle, you're right. Since Dege doesn't want to do it, and it's a matter of father to son, I have no objection to you taking Dege's place."
Uncle Sun stared at Sun Shan in shock, one hand covering his chest, his eyes wide open, even wider than Little Fatty's.
He said incredulously, "Shanzi, is what you're saying true? You really want me to go?"
Oh my, I really can't believe Shanzi actually agreed. What's going on?
Did Shanzi take the wrong medicine today, or is there a trap waiting for him to fall into?
Normally, when I ask him to do something, he makes excuses and refuses, but today he agreed so readily.
For some reason, Uncle Sun had a vague sense of unreality.
Before Sun Shan could answer, De Ge'er interrupted and shouted, "Father, what kind of father are you? You're actually taking over your son's work! Are you even a father?"
Other families desperately want their sons to succeed, but you're the opposite; you want to suppress your son so he can't amount to anything. I've never seen a father like that.
Uncle Sun slapped him again, snorted, and said, "Take it, take it, take it. Why are you saying such harsh things? You don't want to do it, so you won't let your father do it?"
"Hmph, you unfilial son! Your father has worked himself to the bone for you. And you, on the other hand, are incredibly lazy, failing to cherish such a good opportunity. Your father, of course, would have cherished it for you."
Dege muttered indignantly, "When did I say I was quitting? I was just complaining a bit. But you, Father, are always looking for an opportunity to take my place."
Uncle Sun and Brother De were arguing and arguing, so much so that even Sun Bomin, who was planting vegetables in the backyard, could hear them.
In the end, of course, Dege'er won.
Sun Bomin only stopped after locking up his unconvinced Uncle Sun in a dark room.
In Sun Bomin's life belief, the prosperity of a family lies in the son's success surpassing that of his father. A father cannot hinder his son's development.
The young people of this world should give way to these illiterate old people.
We can't be uncultured and prevent young people from taking the lead.
Wang Jijun also complained along with Dege'er.
I had just caught a breath at home when I was about to set off again.
The life of a merchant is tough. If it weren't for wanting to prove himself and show that he was capable, Wang Jijun would never have traded grain.
Being a spoiled rich kid is so much fun.
While packing their luggage, Wang Jijun and Dege'er sat down for tea at the "Yuanlu No. 1 Tea House".
Wang Jijun complained, "Brother De, we're leaving again tomorrow. Sigh, we've only been back for two days and we have to go out again. It's so tiring."
Dege complained to Sun Shan to highlight his exhaustion and let Sun Shan know how hard he had worked.
He acted like an older brother in front of Wang Jijun, patting his younger brother on the shoulder and comforting him: "Brother Jun, that's how business is. You have to seize the opportunity. If you miss this chance, you'll never have another one. While Master Chen still needs grain, we should transport more over and make more money."
He paused for a moment, then continued, "This time, let's bring back more general merchandise to sell. Taking advantage of the period after the autumn harvest, when people have some money in their pockets, hehe, let's make more money."
At this point, Wang Jijun, the big mouth, revealed Master Wang's plan in detail: "Brother De, my father thinks the same way. This time, he even asked Deputy Steward Wang to take more groceries back to the shop to sell. Ah, he also wants to earn copper coins from the people's pockets."
Dege'er's eyes darted around, and he said in a low voice, "Brother Jun, how about we cooperate and sell goods in Chenzhou Prefecture before the New Year?"
Wang Jijun asked in confusion, "Brother De, how do you sell the goods? My father has already sold them, so why do I need to sell them?"
Dege shook his head repeatedly and said, "Jun-di, what your father sells isn't yours, and the money he earns isn't yours either. What I mean is, let's cooperate, sell it together, and split the profits, how about that?"
Wang Jijun's eyes lit up, then he shook his head vigorously like a rattle: "Brother De, my father has already sold his, and if we sell ours too, we definitely can't outsell him."
Dege rolled his eyes at Wang Jijun. If he could find another local bigwig, he really wouldn't want to cooperate with Wang Jijun.
He explained, "Your father sells in Yuanlu County, while we sell directly in Chenzhou Prefecture. They are two different places, so how could we possibly outsell him?"
"By using the convoy, we can source our goods directly from Dongting Lake, ensuring the lowest prices and maximizing our profits. There are also many wealthy people in Chenzhou Prefecture; we can sell them some rare and unusual items and make even more money."
Dege'er explained his business plans to Wang Jijun in detail.
They would take a small amount of goods at a time through merchant caravans, and then sell them in Chenzhou Prefecture about ten days before the Lunar New Year.
If possible, we could sell them from the first day of the lunar month to the fifteenth.
They earn money for New Year's goods.
Dege patted his chest and said confidently, "There's still some time before the New Year. We can still sell grain two or three more times. Each time we take a little bit of goods, it won't take up too much of the team's manpower and resources."
"Two or three batches should be enough to sell during the Chinese New Year. Hehe, we'll just do this for the New Year period to earn some pocket money, how about that?"
Wang Jijun looked at Dege with bright eyes and nodded repeatedly: "Dege, this is a good idea. We'll sell in Chenzhou Prefecture, not Yuanlu County, so it won't clash with my father. Hehe, Dege, I'll follow you from now on."
Dege patted Wang Jijun on the shoulder with a smile.
He said with a bright smile, "Okay, you'll be with me from now on. If we work together, we're sure to make a fortune."
