The best old woman is too fierce, stepping on her ex-husband and beating up her traitorous son!

Chapter 143: Business means, one step ahead
Shopkeeper Qi and Shopkeeper Qian looked at each other and then smiled.

"Mrs. Li, we bought more wool thread this time. Can the price be cheaper?"

Shopkeeper Qian had already met Shopkeeper Qi in Lanshan County.

If the two companies compete viciously, they will end up buying wool at a higher price, which will ultimately affect their respective profits.

If you reach an agreement and lower the price, you can make more money.

This situation has been encountered frequently before.

When you compete, you don’t hesitate to compete, but when you can cooperate, you won’t struggle with money.

When Li Changlu heard this, he immediately became anxious, "Shopkeeper Qi, in order to leave the goods to you, my mother did not sell them when shopkeeper Qian offered a high price."

"Now that you are here, you are joining forces to lower the price. Isn't that too bullying?"

Shopkeeper Qian smiled, picked up the cup and took a sip of tea.

"Second Young Master Li, when doing business, peace of mind makes money. Talking about business is all about talking. If you don't talk about it, why do you just talk about business?"

Shopkeeper Qi also chuckled, "Young Master Li, don't be angry. I'm very grateful to Mrs. Li for waiting for me. I will always do woolen business with the Li family in the future."

"It's just that sometimes this moment is different from that moment. We all work for the head of the family, traveling here and there just to buy low and sell high."

"You..." Li Changlu was annoyed, he thought of things too simply.

I heard before that doing business requires trustworthiness, but Li Changlu didn't expect these businessmen to be so cunning.

Join forces and lower prices together.

"Changlu, step back." Li Xiaoyue chuckled, not angry.

Let’s be honest, that’s how business is.

It is obvious that the Qi family and the Qian family have temporarily cooperated to lower the price together.

Li Changlu felt unhappy and worried that his mother said he had not done well in the woolen business.

"Mom, what shall we do?"

Li Xiaoyue smiled and said, "It seems that Shopkeeper Qian and Shopkeeper Qi are not satisfied with my price, so I will have to find another buyer."

"Ah?" Shopkeeper Qi was startled and looked at Shopkeeper Qian, suspecting that Qian was cheating on him.

Similarly, Shopkeeper Qian is also worried that Shopkeeper Qi will trick him.

Li Changlu's eyes lit up, "Mom, who should we sell the wool to?"

At this moment, Wen Xiaolan came in with someone, "Madam, people from Xie's family business are here."

Xie Family Trading Company is the largest trading firm in Ningchang Prefecture.

This was recommended to her by Gongsun Lian, in order to prevent the two Qi Qian families from joining together to lower the price.

Shopkeeper Qi's expression changed slightly when he saw the visitor. The Xie family may not have many business routes in Jiangnan, but they are quite famous in the capital.

It’s cold in the south of the Yangtze River in winter, but it’s even colder in the north of Beijing!
"Mrs. Li, time is urgent. Let's sign the contract as soon as possible. After all, the weather is getting colder and colder, which is when wool is in hot demand."

Shopkeeper Qian quickly agreed, "Yes, we have come a long way and there is no time to delay."

When Li Changlu saw Shopkeeper Qi and Shopkeeper Qian, he took the initiative to sign the contract without waiting for Master Xie to speak, and he felt refreshed.

"Shopkeeper Qi, shopkeeper Qian, what you just said is the same now. The price is not what it used to be."

Shopkeeper Qi and Shopkeeper Qian looked bitter. After spending so much effort, they couldn't return empty-handed.

"Mrs. Li, what price do you think is appropriate?" If I had known better, I would have signed the contract immediately and wouldn't have listened to shopkeeper Qian's deception.

Li Xiaoyue smiled, not feeling proud at this time, "Changlu, don't be rude! I, Li Xiaoyue, always keep my word, and I have five taels of silver per catty."

"But, Mr. Xie purchased from me before. I promised you first, but I did not promise Mr. Xie."

"Now you are here today, thanks to the help of Mr. Xie. This year's wool yarn is divided into three parts."

Originally, it seemed that Shopkeeper Qi wanted to sell more than half of the wool threads to Shopkeeper Qi because he was so considerate.Now that shopkeeper Qi is jealous of the money, Li Xiaoyue takes advantage of the trend to increase the number of buyers.

Shopkeeper Qi smiled bitterly, stood up and bowed to Li Xiaoyue, "Ms. Li is a righteous lady, but we are greedy."

There are now more than 6 kilograms of wool in stock.

The family's [-] kilograms were transported through their respective trading houses on the same day.

Because shopkeeper Qi brought a lot of things from Jinling to Li Xiaoyue, he felt good about it and gave him an extra five thousand gold worth of goods.

When Shopkeeper Qian and Head Xie learned about Shopkeeper Qi's actions, they also remembered it in their hearts.

In the future, I will collect more Fanbang seeds and gadgets for Li Xiaoyue, and strive for more cooperation in the future.

Through this transaction, Li Xiaoyue received 10 taels of food, medicinal materials, wine, and 10,000+ taels of silver.

Li Xiaoyue packed the banknotes and said, "After the war is over, this money will be used to buy fields."

When Li Changlu heard this, he immediately became anxious, "Mom, look at our family, Lihua Village, and even several surrounding villages. We can't even farm all the land we have, so we have to ask others to do it."

"It's a waste if we buy so much land and no one grows it. We might as well focus on the wool business."

Li Xiaoyue rolled her eyes when she heard this.

"The wool yarn business can still be done, but it would be good to have two taels of silver per catty next year, maybe only one tael of silver per catty."

"In times of peace, silver notes are still useful and can buy things. In times of war and famine, if you can't buy anything, they are just waste paper."

"As for the people who do the work, haha, don't worry, I have a solution. But I can't say anything yet."

Seeing that his mother was resolute and that she was the head of the family, Li Changlu did not dare to refute.

However, seeing so much money, Li Changlu asked: "Mom, I made so much money this time, can we make some money now?"

Li Xiaoyue shook her head, "In 20 days, all the wool we bought will be finished. Then we will send it out together."

"Although I don't give out any money, I have asked people to stew braised pork today so that the workers can eat better."

Li Changlu regrets that he always feels that the money his family earns has little to do with him, which makes him quite frustrated.

He is obviously a young master from a wealthy family, but he still wears ordinary clothes every day and doesn't even have ten taels of pocket money in his pocket.

Such emotions are piling up more and more.

This time, Widow Wang’s workshop also made a fortune.

Because the quality of the wool was not very good, the price was reduced to three taels of silver per pound.

All the fifteen hundred kilograms accumulated in the workshop were sold.

Received four thousand, five hundred taels of silver.

Widow Wang was very passionate and felt that this kind of business was so profitable.

If you can make money this year and make more money next year, you must expand your scale.

But when she thought about the spinning wheel in her workshop, it could only spin eight strands of thread, not twenty. The efficiency was low and the quality was not good. She could only pick up bones after Li Xiaoyue.

Widow Wang couldn't sit still when she thought of how much money Li Xiaoyue had earned.

"Yunlang, look how easy it is to earn this money!"

"Li Xiaoyue can become a wealthy man in Lanshan County just by earning money from selling wool in these few months."

"Hey..." Liu Yunde looked at the sky speechlessly, very melancholy, "I have become a joke in Lihua Village now, and I don't even dare to go out!"

Everyone felt that he had embarrassed Li Xiaoyue, the cornucopia of people, and was the biggest and stupidest fool in the world.

Widow Wang felt bitter. If she had known that Li Xiaoyue was so capable, she would have let Liu Yunde get the drawings. What if she had to wait another year?
