After a day's rest, Fang Tianlin took his wife and children to Linshan County early the next morning, played aimlessly for a few days, and sent the sons back to Xinghuo Village before going out with Shen Jiahe to do business.

The county government where the two went first, Mozhi County was constrained by local forces, and the methods were not very flexible, but after all, it was sent from above. Things will go much smoother.

Besides, the county government is short of funds, and there is only so much tax money that can be included in the government's public account every year. Households have to be carefully planned to make the county government's various departments operate normally, and it is impossible to recruit more staff.For this alone, Mozhi County would be a potential cooperation partner of the Shen family. Talking to him would obviously do more good than harm. It was impossible for Fang Tianlin to ignore such a relationship.

There were many people in the yamen, and after Fang Tianlin handed over the greeting card, Mo Zhixian directly agreed with them to meet at his private house at noon that day.Since Mozhi County still had to work in the afternoon, time was limited. After several people sat down, Fang Tianlin took out the gift he had prepared early in the morning and put it in front of Mozhi County, and said straight to the point: "Lord Mo, please have a look."

Mo Zhixian covered the curiosity in his eyes, opened the lid of the box, and looked at them one by one. The more he looked, the more shocked he was. He had never seen these things before, and he couldn't even tell the material of the outer packaging for some of them: "Master Fang, these... ..."

"Master Mo, what you are holding is a canned fruit with oranges in it. This one is packed in a cardboard box with mint-flavored soap, and the other one is packed with laundry soap. Its function is similar to that of soap, and the effect is better... ..." Fang Tianlin explained one by one, without any impatience.

When Fang Tianlin finished speaking, there was a complete silence in the study, not to mention Ding Zhongqiu's staff, even Mozhi County, who had seen a lot of world as the county magistrate, was stunned for a while.Both of them are not very proficient in business, so they also understand that there are a lot of business opportunities here. As long as they plan well, Linshan County may change its appearance and no longer exist in a backwater.

After pondering for a long time, Mo Zhixian said after deliberation: "Master Fang, I have a question to confirm first, did you find these from outside, or?"

Soon, Mozhi County learned from Fang Tianlin that these were all owned by the Shen family, and they were not strange objects searched from all over the world.

Indeed!A bright light flashed in Mo Zhixian's eyes, he picked up the tea bowl on the table, took a sip to calm his mind, regained his composure, and said with a smile: "Master Fang, you won't really give me these gifts when you come here, will you? If you have anything to say, just say it, as long as I can help, I will do my best."

"Master Mo is straightforward enough, so I don't have any ink." Fang Tianlin took out a canned fish from the box, and pried off the lid with a sharp weapon, "You two, have a taste."

As soon as the can was opened, a smell of fish wafted in the study room, which instantly aroused the appetites of Mo Zhixian and Ding Zhongqiu, who had only eaten a little casually.

Seeing this, Mozhi County recruited servants, and within a short while, several people had a set of tableware.

What Fang Tianlin brought over was seasoned canned fish that could be eaten directly. The can he opened was braised carp. He picked up the serving chopsticks, put a piece into the Shenjiahe bowl, tasted it himself, and signaled to Mozhi County .

Although the canned food has tried to retain the taste of the original material as much as possible, it still cannot be compared with freshly baked dishes, but it depends on what it is compared with.At home, canned food is okay for early adopters, and it is obviously not suitable for regular consumption, but it is a convenient and delicious delicacy in the hands of businessmen or travelers who travel far away, let alone those soldiers who march and fight, which guarantees nutrition. Excellent material.

When he first saw the can of oranges that Fang Tianlin took out, Mo Zhixian only felt that there were business opportunities in it, and he didn't pay much attention to it. Now when he saw the can of fish, after diverting his thinking, he immediately thought of canned meat and other cans. To put it bluntly, it can even rise to the level of strategic materials.It's not that he's exaggerating, just imagine, if the army's logistics supplies provide enough fast food, how fast will the soldiers march in a hurry?Under the same conditions, the side with more physical strength has a greater chance of winning.

Mozhi County has eaten a lot of delicacies. Of course, braised carp cans are not up to the point where he is full of praise, but after all, the taste is indeed not bad, and the smell of fish is attractive. Great enjoyment, this is no longer just a business opportunity to describe, there is a lot to do here.

After eating a piece, Mo Zhixian put down his chopsticks, looked at the empty bowl beside Ding Zhongqiu, and said quietly: "Master Fang, how do you want to cooperate with me?"

"Lord Mo, how is your relationship with the two magistrates of neighboring counties?" Fang Tianlin didn't intend to do business with Mozhi County when he came here. For commercial matters, he might as well go to authentic businessmen like Yuan Cheng'an.

"Shilin County is poorer than our county, and the law and order there is worse. If you want to go east, the nearest road is there. Wangshan County is better than Linshan County, but it's not much better. The two county magistrates and I They still have a little friendship, don’t you know Master Fang?”

"I would like to ask Mr. Mo to open up business channels with these two counties to ensure the safety of the goods. The remuneration is easy to negotiate. I only provide the delivery price here, and the price will be increased before selling. You can discuss this with the other two county magistrates, but the price increase must not exceed 20.00%, otherwise things won’t sell well.”

Fang Tianlin made good calculations, and Mo Zhixian understood the key when he thought about it. It seems that he got 20.00%, but the problem is that it needs to be shared by three people. After the discount, it is actually not much.But he was reluctant to let him give up.There are a few of these on the table, no matter which one is profitable, nearly [-]% of the income is really a lot, it is the gangster, which involves the interests of all parties, and he is a county magistrate. There is nothing wrong with bandits.

Fang Tianlin seemed to know what Mozhi County was worried about. Before he could open his mouth, he expressed his attitude first: "Master Mo, the Shen family's monopoly on these businesses will attract local merchants to covet them. It may be difficult to take action without cooperation. Question, I will find someone to discuss this matter later, but the Shen family will not refuse any merchants who are interested in cooperating, and when the time comes to form a Linshan County Business Alliance, I believe Linshan County will get better and better."

Mozhi County was fascinated by Fang Tianlin's imagination, but he still has reason. He is not proficient in business, but he still has common sense: "Master Fang, don't say anything else, is the outer packaging of this can not easy to handle? And this sealing technology It’s unheard of, how much does it cost?”

Everyone here understands the subtext of Mozhi County. If the cost is too high, the business will basically be useless. The border conditions are there. If the price is too high, the buyer group will be extremely restricted. If canned food is sold as a luxury item, then there will be a problem with its market positioning. Canned fruit can be sold like this, but canned fish will become a slow-moving product. Unless everyone is proud to eat them, some people will be willing to consume them frequently.After all, compared to fresh dishes, the taste of canned food is indeed inferior.

Fang Tianlin had been prepared for a long time, and turned his head slightly to look at his daughter-in-law.

Shen Jiahe immediately understood, took out a pamphlet and pushed it to the opposite side, and said, "Lord Mo, what is written on it is a rough estimate of the selling price, and the final selling price should not be much higher than this figure, and it may be even lower."

What he asked was the cost, but what Master Shen gave was the selling price. Of course, Mozhi County could guess the way to do it.He wasn't dissatisfied, the cost price of the goods was a secret of every family, and it was absolutely impossible to leak them at will, otherwise how would the goods be sold?If the buyers know that the cost is only 20 taels, but they buy hundreds of taels, this business may not be possible.

After reading the contents of the pamphlet, Mo Zhixian handed it to Ding Zhongqiu.There were only a few kinds of goods that the Shen family wanted to sell, and there was not much data, but after a while, Ding Zhongqiu finished reading them, and he nodded his head towards Mozhi County.

Mozhi County responded immediately: "Success, I will take care of this matter some day."

"Lord Mo, please take my leave." As soon as the matter was over, Fang Tianlin took Shen Jiahe with him and left the private house in Mozhi County.

After sending Fang Tianlin and his party away, Mo Zhixian and Ding Zhongqiu returned to the study.

"My lord, if we follow the wishes of the two masters of the Shen family, we won't get much benefit. The local tycoons will also benefit from this matter. At most, we have not been distanced by them. Doesn't this mean we are still standing still? "Ding Zhongqiu frowned, quickly calculating the pros and cons in his mind.He knew that, from another point of view, the magistrate's faction was not left behind, which can already be said to have gained some benefits from it, although this was not what he wanted to see.

"You said that I rejected the Shen family. Don't tell me they won't do this business?" Mo Zhixian paced back and forth in the study with his hands behind his back. Rather than being left behind and completely unable to catch up with this chariot that may be moving fast, it is better to give up some benefits and go forward with them, at least everyone is on the same level, and there will be fights in the future.

Mozhi County also has no choice. He, the leader of Linshan County, is not as powerful as the local power. If the Shen family does not cooperate with him, there are still so many people to choose from. If it is placed in a county close to Wangcheng, the situation is completely different. Where does the merchant have capital? Don't show signs of being with the county magistrate?

It's also a matter of luck, at least the Shen family didn't deal with him, and cooperating with them made him feel much more at ease. Anyway, he also had some friendship with the Shen family, and the preferential treatment he gave to the Shen family before was not in vain. No, the Shen family He was the first person to go to when something happened, not the local gentry.Obviously, the Shen family also showed their sincerity, even though the benefit to him was not that great, he accepted it.

After leaving the private house in Mozhi County, Shen Jiahe looked around and saw that there was no one around except the guards who fell far behind, and asked in a low voice: "Tianlin, how did you calculate this price?"

Hearing his daughter-in-law's question, Fang Tianlin couldn't help chuckling: "Jiahe, you have also seen that the gifts that were given out just now, except for a few, were all made by special means, and the cost cannot be estimated at all. These are the approximate numbers I calculated higher. If it actually exceeds the budget, this product can only be postponed temporarily. Don’t worry, most of them are fine.”
