Farmer's Wife Has Space

Chapter 172 The principal of 1000 taels of silver is not a small sum

Gu Ling, Boss Wang, Boss Wang's youngest son Wang Xing, and two other guys carefully traveled all the way from Qingping County to the capital with three or four carriages of goods.

Originally, Boss Wang didn't need to personally escort the goods. His purpose of going to the capital this time was mainly to discuss business and bring his youngest son, Wang Xing, to see the world.

He brought Gu Ling with him because Gu Ling and his youngest son got along very well, and he was clever, knew everything about business, handsome, and eloquent. Can bring him good luck.

Boss Wang is in the business of luxury goods and handicrafts. He sells the light cloud gauze and handicrafts produced in Meicheng to the capital, and then transports the leading fashion styles in the capital, as well as a few luxury goods, back to Meicheng for sale.

But this time, Gu Ling suggested that they try to bring the local products of Meicheng to the capital for sale, especially the dried salted peanuts from Shuangshi Town, Qingping County, which will definitely open up a market in the capital.

Boss Wang disagreed at first.

But Gu Ling said, let him try it alone first, he is going to transport two carriages of salted and dried peanuts to the capital, and he can pay the cost alone.

If the goods are not sold, he will bear all the losses alone.

Why Gu Ling insisted on selling the dried salted peanuts from Shuangshi Town to the capital was because of Gu Zheng.

Gu Zheng gave Gu Ling the 1000 taels of silver note that Yue Lingzhi gave him, and told him that now that you have capital, you can also try to develop your own business.

Gu Ling was very excited. With this start-up capital, he can indeed start the business he likes.

The principal of 1000 taels of silver is not a small amount. According to the price that one tael of silver can buy a hundred catties of rice, converted into modern banknotes, that is 30 yuan!

Gu Zheng asked him: "Which kind of business do you like most?"

Gu Ling replied: "Souvenir products!"

The last time he went to the capital, he met several guys who worked in a souvenir wholesale shop. At that time, he also told the guys about the unique salted dried peanuts that belonged to their Shuangshi Town.

The guys laughed and teased him, when they got money, they would get rid of Boss Wang and start their own local specialty business, and they would definitely help him.

Now, he has capital and a chance.

However, he felt that it was a bit unethical to leave Boss Wang suddenly, and he was not very experienced. If it was a native specialty business, it would be good if Boss Wang was willing to do it with him.

But he didn't expect that Boss Wang was not interested, saying that the profit of making local products is low, and everyone can do it.

Gu Ling went home and told his eldest brother what Boss Wang had said, but Gu Zheng tried his best to encourage him. If Boss Wang didn't do it, he tried it by himself.

Because Gu Zheng knew that two years later, Boss Wang, who looked down on the local specialty business, suddenly started the local specialty business, transporting salted and dried peanuts from Shuangshi Town to the capital. The sales in the capital were quite good, and even won the praise of the emperor. .

Knowing that the emperor ate this kind of salted and dried peanuts, the dignitaries in the capital bought and tried one after another, and they became addicted after trying it.

In addition, with a swipe of the emperor's golden pen, they were named "Shuangshi Peanuts", and their value has soared since then, and the number of them sold to the palace as snacks in a year alone is quite a lot.

Boss Wang not only made a lot of money because of Shuangshi Peanut, he also became famous because of Shuangshi Peanut, and all major businesses are scrambling to do business with him.

By the time Gu Zheng went to Beijing to take the first prize, Boss Wang had already become the richest man in Meicheng.
