Chapter 222
"Ms. Zhao, why are you here alone? Are you so careful?"
Lin Xiaofan was a little surprised. He didn't expect Zhao Shan to be so bold and not even bring the maid in pink with her when traveling.
"Brother Lin, don't you have something important to discuss with me? It's important, so why don't you keep it secret?"
Zhao Shan took off the black cloth covering her face, took a breath, and had a charming smile on her face.
The maid told her what happened at noon today, and she immediately understood that Lin Xiaofan must have something big to do when he came to her.
And based on Lin Xiaofan's previous virtues, he should be doing big business.
The first time it was painkillers, the second time it was a repeating crossbow. I just don’t know what Lin Xiaofan has researched this time.
If it was something good, maybe she could make a fortune from it. Even if it fails, it can enhance the relationship between the two parties, and it is not a loss no matter what.
"Ms. Zhao, sit down."
Lin Xiaofan poured tea for Zhao Shan, and after the two of them took their seats, he went straight to the point.
"I wonder, Miss Zhao, if you want to make a big fortune?"
Make a lot of money?
Zhao Shan's hand paused, and she immediately realized that she had guessed correctly, and asked tentatively:
"Brother Lin, what is it about?"
She was very curious about what good things Lin Xiaofan had created this time.
Lin Xiaofan smiled slightly and said:
"Salt making."
Hearing this answer, Zhao Shan was obviously stunned for a moment.
Making salt? It may be a bit difficult to make money this way.
She is very clear about the domestic salt production industry, which can be said to have been divided up by many big families.
Moreover, the cost of making salt is very low, so the selling price is not high. In this case, if you want to profit from it, you need to overcome many obstacles, which is extremely difficult. And in the end, the gains may outweigh the losses.
Unless Lin Xiaofan has some trump card.
"Brother Lin, I wonder what you plan to do?"
Zhao Shan wanted to understand and asked.
"Salt can be divided into fine salt and coarse salt. Coarse salt has a bad taste, and if eaten for a long time, it is easy to get diseases. In contrast, although the production process of fine salt is more complicated, the taste is much better. , and wealthy people in China will choose fine salt.”
Lin Xiaofan first introduced.
Zhao Shan nodded after hearing this. There are indeed coarse salt and fine salt on the market, and there is a big difference in taste. She still knows this.
But she couldn't figure out what Lin Xiaofan's trump card would be.
"I have a way to make salt that is better than fine salt, commonly known as refined salt. The meals made with this salt are the most delicious in the world."
Lin Xiaofan's next words made Zhao Shan's eyes flash with surprise.
In her impression, Lin Xiaofan usually spoke very modestly. He said that he could make the most delicious food in the world, and the taste would definitely not be bad.
If such salt really existed, it would be easy to sell it for a big price. After all, the most important thing for those aristocratic families and wealthy businessmen in the country is money.
"Brother Lin, are you serious about this?"
Zhao Shan asked in disbelief.
If you want to make something like salt taste better, can't you just rely on steaming it? This is not like a weapon that can be continuously improved.
She really couldn't think of how to make better salt.
Lin Xiaofan nodded and continued:
"According to my method, refined salt can be produced on a large scale. Let's build up the reputation of refined salt. We will first take out a small part and sell it to the aristocratic class at a very high price, making a lot of money. Then we will make a fortune. Let’s lower the price, sell to everyone, and make another profit.”
What? Can this thing be produced on a large scale?
Hearing this, Zhao Shan was even more confused.
Fine salt needs to be continuously cooked, which is very resource-intensive, so the amount produced is only enough for some people.
As for the refined salt that Lin Xiaofan mentioned, it not only tastes better, but can also be produced on a large scale and sold to everyone.
Zhao Shan thought over Lin Xiaofan's words again and again, thinking about the feasibility of the matter.
If there is really better salt, it will definitely cause families and wealthy businessmen to rush for it.
They are all people who are not short of money. No matter how high the price is, they will buy it.
By then, you will definitely be able to make a lot of money.
However, the current domestic salt production industry is mainly dominated by the Qing family and the Shen family.
If their family crosses paths, it will definitely cause dissatisfaction between the two families. Maybe it will trigger a business war.
Now they are planning something big and are at a critical moment. If they offend the two families to death, something may go wrong.
And according to what Lin Xiaofan said, first sell it to the rich at a high price, and then sell it to everyone at a low price.
If this move is not handled well, it may offend all the wealthy people in the country.
At that time, even if their Zhao family is powerful, they will not be able to afford it.
After thinking again and again, Zhao Shan touched her forehead and said:
"Brother Lin, I still need to consider this matter."
When it comes to the other eight major families, it cannot be decided by her alone. She needs to consult the family for instructions.
Thinking about it, she stood up and prepared to leave.
If you stay here for a long time, something might happen.
"Ms. Zhao, let me say a few more words."
Lin Xiaofan stopped Zhao Shan and continued:
"Actually, the Qing family and the Shen family will not show dissatisfaction before large-scale sales."
When Zhao Shan heard this, her footsteps stopped.
Yes, why didn't you consider this?
When the salt was first sold, it was only sold to wealthy people.
In this era when the gap between rich and poor is obvious, how many rich people are there?
Just such a small number of people will only affect the sale of fine salt. Even if the price rises high enough, it will have little impact on the sale of fine salt.
In this case, the problem can be solved by giving a small portion of the benefits to the Zhao family and the Shen family.
And as long as the taste of this refined salt is good enough, every big family will definitely want it. If the Zhao family and the Shen family are still dissatisfied and are not allowed to sell it, it will appear to be too petty and will cause dissatisfaction among the major families.
In the later period, even without large-scale sales, they still made a lot of money.
From this point of view, the strategy mentioned by Lin Xiaofan seems to be feasible.
"Brother Lin, can you show me this refined salt?"
Zhao Shan asked.
She couldn't wait to see what this refined salt looked like.
"Ah, I haven't started making this yet."
When Lin Xiaofan heard this, he scratched his head in embarrassment:
"I made some of this refined salt before when I was practicing with my master. But I have finished it now."
master? There really is a master behind Lin Xiaofan!
A long time ago, Zhao Shan speculated that there was an expert behind Lin Xiaofan.
After all, Lin Xiaofan was only sixteen or seventeen years old. No matter how evil he was, it was impossible for him to learn the art of war by himself while also making repeating crossbows, hemostatic pills and other items.
In this way, even though she had never seen this refined salt, she felt confident.
"Brother Lin, I will go back and write a letter to the family to inform them of this matter. I believe they will cooperate with Brother Lin after weighing the pros and cons."
Zhao Shan cupped her hands and couldn't wait to report this matter to her family.
