    Cao Hong laughed when he looked at the salt bags in the warehouse, as if he was seeing bags and piles of money. He patted the salt bags beside him and said to Cao Ang with a smile: "Aang, I didn't expect you.  There is also this way. Although the price of salt has dropped slightly now, it is still 15% higher than usual. Our business is a sure profit!"

    Cao Ang frowned slightly and asked curiously: "Uncle, as far as I know, Vincent was the largest private salt dealer nearby. After his death, the price in Qiao County has soared. It has increased by more than 20% some time ago."  , why has it dropped again now?¡±

    Cao Hong sighed and whispered: "I heard that there was something wrong with the secret warehouse left by Vincent for some reason, and it was discovered and sealed by Liu Quan. Now Liu Quan has begun to sell the salt in the warehouse in batches.  With salt on the market, the price will naturally drop. What's more, a young man named Lin Le has appeared in the city recently. He is very capable. Many of Vincent's subordinates have been recruited by that man. Those who disobey will mysteriously disappear. Now he controls  The sales channel is also exporting goods. I heard that it was illegal salt that was urgently shipped from several nearby states! It is normal for such two companies to cause trouble together, and the market price has dropped. When our batch of goods is sold, the price of salt will  It¡¯s almost stabilized.¡±

    Cao Ang took a step forward and whispered: "Uncle, my nephew has a novelty. Please take a look at it."

    After speaking, Cao Ang took out a small cloth bag from his arms and handed it to Cao Hong.

    Cao Hong opened it and saw that inside the cloth bag was a handful of fine white powder.  He swallowed a few mouthfuls of spit, put some of it in his mouth, and said in disbelief: "Nephew, you have met an immortal, how can there be such high-quality salt in this world?!"

    Cao Ang smiled slightly and said in a low voice: "Can refined salt of such quality be sold for more than ten times or even higher? I know that my uncle has a lot of contacts in Qiao County. Can we promote it? For example,  The best people use the best salt!"

    Cao Hong's eyes lit up and he asked in a low voice: "You mean, let's take the high-quality route?"

    Cao Ang nodded, "My nephew feels that the competition in this low-end market is very cruel and the profits are quite low. We might as well concentrate our efforts on the high-end market! Anyway, all the salt in Qiao County now is this kind of coarse salt, and no one  Come and sell this kind of fine salt. As far as I know, there are many wealthy families in Qiao County and even the surrounding areas. Everyone is not short of money and can afford this salt. If this fine salt is positioned in the high-end market, what you buy is  Can the quality and the brand you buy be used to open up sales in one fell swoop?¡±

    Cao Hong nodded repeatedly and smiled from ear to ear. He patted Cao Ang's shoulder and whispered: "Ang'er, now we are going to make a fortune! By the way, where did you get this fine salt? Can you?"  If we can¡¯t provide stable supply for a long time, how much will it cost?¡±

    Cao Ang nodded, "It's just a matter of repeatedly dissolving, filtering, evaporating, and precipitating crystals after supersaturation. The cost is quadrupled compared to coarse salt, and the effort also takes more time!"

    Cao Hong took a step forward and whispered in confusion: "I don't understand, nephew, but did you make these refined salts yourself?"

    Seeing Cao Ang nodding, Cao Hong whispered: "From today on, you must choose a reliable person to handle this matter. I will explain the situation to the clan leader and ask him to allocate the safest and most secluded place in our Cao family to you.  All the required appliances are ordered in batches from home and must not be leaked. Even if the cost is doubled several times, we can sell it at a high price and we will definitely make a lot of money!"

    Cao Hong looked very excited. He tried his best to lower his voice and said in a low voice: "Ang'er, you have dug a big gold mine for our Cao family for generations! My uncle never thought that you, Ang'er, would be able to do business like this.  The talent is really beyond my uncle's expectation! In fact, studying and practicing martial arts is just a trivial way, doing business and getting rich is the kingly way. Let's make money and enjoy in a low-key way! Are you interested in helping uncle? If you come, don't say anything else, uncle, I will immediately  I¡¯ll give you 30% of the share! I only have 30% of the share, so how about it, my uncle is very sincere!¡±

    Cao Ang smiled slightly, "Uncle, if I go to your place to help you full-time, my father will come back to check my homework and beat me to death! I won't go. If you really have this intention, you might as well write a letter to my father."

    Cao Hong shook his head repeatedly, "I don't want to be chased by your father. Forget it, I won't go if you don't go. Just give me some advice. By the way, take this small bag of salt, let's go to your grandfather's place now.  Give him a good report."

    Soon, after seeing this small bag of refined salt, Cao Ang received Cao Song's full support.  Cao Song not only gave Cao Ang a separate courtyard, but also specially assigned Cao Rui and other ten people who performed well in the last operation against bandits to Cao Ang as his followers.  [The supporting role "Cao Rui" is provided by book friend "¡ÚYun Tianqing¡Û"!  ¡¿

    The old man is still on the 4thIt¡¯s time to announce that in the future, the salt you eat will be replaced by this refined salt. It doesn¡¯t matter whether you have money or not, the key is the grade!

    Under Cao Ang¡¯s suggestion, Cao Song decided that the New Year gifts to various families in Qiao County in the next few days would be based on this refined salt, accompanied by exquisite embroidered packaging bags.

    When the heads of the major families in Qiao County opened the bag, they couldn't believe their eyes.  Oh my God, where have they ever seen such snow-white refined salt in their lives?  Where did you get this?

    So Cao Hong, who was in charge of giving gifts, arrogantly promoted: This is the high-quality salt that the Cao family got from Luoyang. It was the high-quality salt that the Jiangnan salt-making family spent a lot of effort and paid a heavy cost to obtain.  If the Cao family hadn't had a strong relationship with them and had good friendships, they would never have been able to buy it!

    Who is Cao Hong? He is the number one profiteer in Qiao County!  As a result of his deception, major families were tempted, and orders flew into the Cao family like snowflakes.  And customers have said that what they buy is not only the product, but also the quality and level of life. It is better not to buy it but to buy it alone, which is the most expensive!

    Liu Quan originally thought he was going to have a tough price war with the Cao family, so he specially opened up the upper-level route, hired a protective umbrella, and spent a lot of money.  Unexpectedly, the Cao family found a new way to sell refined salt.  Now all his arrangements came to nothing. In order to maximize the use of resources, Liu Quan set his target on Lin Le. Who has made this kid more popular recently?

    Liu Quan also paid a lot of attention to the sudden rise of Lin Le. He sent people to investigate his background and found that this guy's fortune history is quite legendary:

    According to the investigation, Lin Le is from Jinan and has been hanging out in Jinan in the past.  After Cao Cao took office as the Prime Minister of Jinan, Lin Le's business suffered losses and he had to switch to selling slaves.  As a result, his last auction in Qiao County was a complete success and he got a lot of spare money. Lin Le happened to encounter the sudden death of Wen Sheng. Lin Le sensitively sensed the business opportunities, so he devoted himself to the private salt business and made a lot of money.  .

    Liu Quan smiled slightly and said to Yuan Ping: "Master Yuan, I think Lin Le's family history is very suspicious! Why was he able to seize the opportunity of Vincent's death? Did he play any role in Vincent's death?  A dishonorable role?! Although we can't wrong a good person, we can't let go of a bad person! Moreover, after Vincent's death, the huge amount of property disappeared. Was it Lin Le who tried to defraud him? Or, was it Lin Lejian?  Cai wanted to collude with bandits from Heifeng Village to kill Vincent? You know, Heifeng Village has been trying to do private salt business recently, and they also have the motive to kill Vincent!"

    Yuan Ping stretched out his thumb and praised continuously: "My lord's reasoning is very reasonable. Lin Le is indeed suspected of committing a major crime! As for Heifeng Village, our energy is limited, so let's open a gap from Lin Le's side first!"

    Liu Quan nodded, "What you said makes sense. Du Lang is also a sensible person, so let's start the investigation from Lin Le to see if he is related to Wen Sheng's death! Look,  Should I send a few government officials to capture him directly?"

    Yuan Ping shook his head, "Being able to integrate the remaining forces left by Wen Sheng, an outsider is not afraid of the counterattack of the Qiao County government. Such a person should not be arrested by a few government officials! Do you want me to send a team of soldiers to arrest him?  come over?"

    Liu Quan shook his head, "It's better to be polite before fighting. We in Qiao County are also reasonable. I believe Lin Le is also willing to become our subordinate. After all, our supply of goods is relatively sufficient! Let's do this. I will send someone to send him an invitation. Let's go together.  Have a meal.¡±

    Yuan Ping nodded, the two of them looked at each other, smiled tacitly, and cursed in their hearts: Why doesn't this old fox choke to death when he eats, or chokes to death when he drinks water?  !  Just now, both of them proposed to send people to arrest Lin Le, just to monopolize the resources Lin Le had at his disposal. Unexpectedly, both of them saw what the other was thinking. As partners, it was difficult to argue, so they could only find a compromise.  The trick was just to make Lin Le cheaper.

    Just when the two old foxes were fighting each other, Lin Le, who was well-informed, also felt a hint of crisis.

    Originally, the private salt market in Qiao County was occupied by the Cao family, Liu Quan, and Lin Le, presenting a tripartite situation. No one could annex the other two parties in a short period of time, so the market was relatively stable and orderly.  But now the Cao family has withdrawn from the coarse salt market and concentrates on selling refined salt. In this way, Lin Le will face the malicious competition from the county magistrate Liu Quan!  He was the county magistrate, and he was colluding with the county captain. It can be said that Liu Quan's stamp of his feet would shake up Qiao County!  What should I do?

    Just when Lin Le was worried, Cao Anmin, who was short of money recently, came up to him and asked with a smile: "Brother Lin, what's the trouble? It's all on me! I, Cao Anmin, am from Qiao County  I am a local snake, quite famous, and everyone gives me face. But the cost"

    Cao Anmin rubbed his hands and looked at Lin Le with a smile.  Lin Le smiled slightly??, "Expenses are not the problem, the question is do you have the ability? The most profitable thing in our religion now is selling private salt, but now we have to compete directly with Liu Quan! He is the county magistrate, Bailihou!"

    "What's so difficult about this?" Cao Anmin said with a smile: "I, Cao Anmin, always have some thin noodles. To make peace, we always sit together and make peace. We give the county magistrate 20 to 30 percent of our shares, and we all work together."  That¡¯s it for investing in stocks and doing business! People, you have to be flexible!¡±
