Chapter 233 6% Profit
Chapter 233 6% Profit
This battle is crucial. Grandfather said that as long as Lin Xiaofan's conditions are not too harsh, he can agree to it.
"First, when I make the bait, I want ten guards from the Zhao family. And these guards will be training with me from today on."
When Zhao Chen heard this, he immediately nodded in agreement.
"this is necessary."
Even if Lin Xiaofan didn't say anything, he would have arranged for guards.
As for Lin Xiaofan's training for the guards, he didn't understand. What did Lin Xiaofan want to train?
Most of the guards who came this time were dead members of the family and had received more than ten years of training. What else could Lin Xiaofan teach them?
"Second point, I want [-]% of the profit from refined salt."
Lin Xiaofan said loudly.
"Seventy percent?"
When Zhao Chen heard this, his tone of voice was a little higher unconsciously.
You must know that in the future, most of the production processes, sales and other operations of refined salt will be under the full control of the Zhao family.
Lin Xiaofan's people only need to do a few key steps, and then just sit back and wait to receive the money.
The family originally thought that giving Lin Xiaofan [-]% of the profit would be enough.
But when Lin Xiaofan opened his mouth, he actually asked for [-]%.
However, this operation is very important. Once successful, their family is likely to become the largest family in the capital.
Moreover, many outsiders will choose to join their family, and their power will become unprecedentedly powerful.
At that time, as long as we take care of the emperor's side, we will become the largest clan.
As for money, the more the better. However, their family has a long heritage and is strong, so they are no less than that.
"Brother Lin, [-]% is too high, how about [-]%?"
Zhao Chen gritted his teeth and said.
Releasing [-]% of the profits would still be a bit of a loss, but he still wanted to gain more benefits for the family.
After all, once it is completed, every [-]% of the profit will be tens of thousands of taels of silver.
I thought that Lin Xiaofan would continue to bargain, but unexpectedly, Lin Xiaofan smiled slightly and nodded in agreement.
"Deal. In this case, I will suffer some losses and take [-]% of the profit."
He originally thought that it would be great to achieve fourth grade. After all, most of this has to be done by people from the Zhao family, and his only role is to provide a formula.
Directly asking for [-]% of the profit is just to have more room for bargaining.
But what he didn't expect was that Zhao Chen actually gave him [-]%.
As long as he can do this well, he is confident that he can capture the entire country's salt production industry. Every [-]% of the profit can amount to tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.
Lin Xiaofan felt ecstatic when he thought of the white money coming into his account.
Looking at Lin Xiaofan's grinning lips, Zhao Chen's face darkened.
Damn it, you gave me too much!
You are just smiling and saying that you have suffered some losses. I think you are taking a huge advantage.
After returning home, he will probably have to be taught a lesson by his grandfather again, and he will be called a prodigal son.
"Brother Zhao, tell me exactly what to do so that I can be prepared."
Seeing that Zhao Chen's expression was not right, Lin Xiaofan hurriedly spoke and changed the subject.
He was afraid that the more Zhao Chen thought about it, the more he would suffer. If he went back on his words later, he would suffer a big loss.
"Tomorrow, the county magistrate will inform all the major families that in order to celebrate the great victory of the Qingzhou Army led by Counselor Lin, a banquet will be held in a month, and the location will be at Lifeng Lake. By then, you Will be there too.”
"Lifeng Lake is outside the city, and the number of city defense troops is small. And for this kind of celebration banquet, you can't bring too many guards. The enemies hiding in the dark will definitely come out to assassinate you and Brother Wu when they see us like this. .At that time, we will cooperate with the city guards to catch all these people."
Zhao Chen slowly revealed his plan.
Lin Xiaofan thought for a moment and nodded slightly.
This strategy can be seen at a glance as a trick to lure the enemy, and it can be said to be a conspiracy.
But this is also the best time for the enemy to assassinate, so the opponent will never miss it.
"Okay, then from now on, I'll just follow Brother Zhao's arrangements."
Lin Xiaofan cupped his hands and couldn't help but yawned. At this time, it was probably ugly time, and he hadn't slept so late for a long time.
"It's getting late, I'll take my leave now."
The next day, Lin Xiaofan was woken up by a knock on the door.
I opened a little window and saw that the sun was already rising high, and it looked like it was already noon.
He slept too late last night, so he didn't bother Liu Shishi and the others.
"Brother Lin?"
Zhao Shan's voice came from outside the door.
"right away."
Lin Xiaofan hurriedly put on some clothes and went to open the door.
Today, Zhao Shan is wearing a green shirt, green earrings hanging from her ears, her hair is tied up with a hairpin, and she is holding a bamboo slip in her hand.
"Brother Lin, the paperwork for making salt is here. Now we can make it. Look, how can we do this first step?"
"So fast?"
Lin Xiaofan was a little surprised. The Zhao family was different. The efficiency of the government really shocked him.
If he were to get it himself, it would take at least ten days and midnight to get it. If the Qing family makes some mistakes, it may drag on for a year and a half.
"Similar to the normal salt production process, seawater is introduced into the salt field and exposed to wind and sun for a period of time."
Zhao Shan nodded after hearing this. Sure enough, all methods of making salt cannot avoid this step.
But she was very curious about what method Lin Xiaofan would use later to make salt that was better than fine salt.
"Brother Lin, the ten guards you want have been found for you. You can train them as you like. In a month, they will also go to the banquet as your guards."
After leaving a few words, Zhao Shan left in a hurry. Now is a critical time, and there are many things for her to arrange.
Lin Xiaofan yawned and wanted to go back to sleep, but he was really hungry, so he went out to find some food.
In the lobby, ten people stood upright, all dressed in black, with knives on their waists. Their faces were serious, and their eyes were staring straight ahead, undisturbed by the things around them.
There are more or less scars on their exposed skin. Maybe it was because he had just completed his mission, and there was still a slight smell of blood on his body.
The first time he saw them, one word came to Lin Xiaofan's mind.
Dead man!
This group of people should be a group of dead soldiers trained by the Zhao family since childhood.
Moreover, these people were dressed almost exactly the same as Zhao Chen, which made him speculate a little more about Zhao Chen's identity.
"A task is assigned to you."
Lin Xiaofan glanced at the crowd and slowly said:
"There is a moso bamboo forest in the north of the city. You go and cut down five moso bamboo trees and bring back four meters of them with lush branches and leaves. Remember, keep the upper branches and leaves."
Moso bamboo is a necessary raw material for making wolf bamboo.
"Yes."
The ten guards came down, without any hesitation or too many questions, and went to carry out the mission.
After lunch, Lin Xiaofan went directly to find Guan Fengxue.
At this time, Wu Fengxue was in the outer courtyard, holding a crossbow and taking aim at it.
