"Master, back then, we sold off our other businesses and used everything we had to get 45,000 strings of cash to become the first member of the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce. But now, we only have four bicycles, and one of them was given to Xiao Hao! Even if we can earn 100 strings of cash per bicycle, four bicycles will only earn 400 strings of cash! Isn't it a bit of a loss for us to buy this membership? "
West City, Lin Family's Qingya Zhai, second floor.
A well-dressed madam stood beside Lin Wenyuan and said worriedly.
Lin Wenyuan was unmoved and said with a smile, "Madam, you have to look at the long term when doing business. Our Lin Family was just a nobody in Chang 'an before, but after this incident, we became one of the seven largest bicycle suppliers in the Tang Empire. Soon, we will be famous all over the world! With fame, do you have to worry about not being able to make money? Madam, you also said that we can earn 100 strings of cash per bicycle, so 100 bicycles will be 10,000 strings of cash, and 1000 bicycles will be 100,000 strings of cash. Where else can we find such a good business? "
Madam Lin rolled her eyes at Lin Wenyuan and said unhappily, "How can I not know this? But with the ability of the Curious Pavilion's workshop, when will they be able to give us so many bicycles? "
Lin Wenyuan frowned and then relaxed. "Madam, don't underestimate Marquis's workshop. This time, the workshop produced a total of 40 bicycles. Marquis gave one to each of the five Grand Dukes, and the remaining 35 were all given to us. The Curious Pavilion did not get a single one. From this, we can see that Marquis values the membership of the Chamber of Commerce. This also shows that Marquis has big plans, and it is not just limited to Chang 'an.
In the next few years, bicycles will be sold to all the provinces and counties in the Tang Empire! How big of a business would this be! We spent 40,000 strings of cash to buy this membership, and we will definitely make a profit! "
Madam Lin thought for a moment and said, "I don't care about this anymore. No matter what, Master is right. I'm going back! Xiao Hao got the bicycle, don't mess around at home and hurt yourself! "
Lin Wenyuan said crossly, "Heh! Madam, if you have the time to worry about that stinking brat, why don't you find a way to find him a master of mathematics? No matter what, you have to let him try for the Yanhuang College entrance exam next year. If he can pass, this old man will have no more desires in this life ~! "
Although under normal circumstances, the sons of businessmen could not participate in the imperial examinations, nor could they become officials in the imperial court, he had never expected his son to become an official. He only hoped that his son could learn some knowledge in Yanhuang College so that he could inherit the family business in the future.
Madam Lin rolled her eyes at her husband again, "Master, don't you know what kind of nature our family's Xiao Hao has? It's fine if you want him to lie down and read novels, but aren't you making things difficult for him by asking him to read books to get into Yanhuang College? "
Lin Wenyuan said with a dark face, "That stinking brat has been spoiled by you, Madam. Our family business is so big, and we still have to pass it to him in the future. But look at him now, eating, sleeping and reading novels all day, and occasionally going out to walk the dog. He's so old, and he can't even understand an account book. When the family business is handed to him in the future, when we leave, won't he lose all the family business and starve to death? "
Madam Lin sighed. She opened her mouth and tried to persuade, "Master, our family's Xiao Hao is still young …"
"What young? He's fourteen this year. What was Marquis doing when he was fourteen? What was he doing? I say, Madam, you can't continue to spoil him like this, you're harming him! "
Lin Wenyuan advised with a serious expression.
Madam Lin thought for a moment, and finally nodded, "Yes, Master! I'll help Xiao Hao find a master soon ~! "
After saying that, Madam Lin turned around and went downstairs. However, she was shocked by the bustling scene at the entrance of the shop.
"I have the Strange Interest Pavilion … Oh, no, I have the purple membership card of the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce. I want to cut the queue, I want to buy a bicycle ~!"
"You think you're so great because you have a purple membership card? I have one too, and it's also purple! What right do you have to stand in front of me? "
"Hey! Get out of the way, my family's young master has the red supreme membership card! All of you get out of the way ~! "
"Wow! Red supreme membership card ~? "
Madam Lin couldn't help but be stunned. She knew that the Elegant Pavilion only had three bicycles, but there were hundreds of people queuing up in front of her. Basically, everyone had a membership card of the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce, and most of them were too embarrassed to take out their purple membership cards. This meant that they were all rich people in Chang 'an City.
"Maybe Master's decision is right. As long as Marquis gives us enough goods, our Lin family can definitely become rich with this membership of the Chamber of Commerce!"
Madam Lin muttered to herself.
.....
Actually, there weren't many people in the Elegant Pavilion, but there were many people in Chang 'an City who knew the' inside information '. They all ran to the Cao family's Appraisal Pavilion to queue up. That was because they had the most bicycles, with a total of eight bicycles, which was the most in Chang' an City.
Actually, the Wang family's Treasure House should have the most bicycles, with ten of them. But for some reason, the Wang family's Treasure House was not open today. It was probably because the Wang family didn't want to expand their market in Chang 'an City!
"Boss Cao, I have my master's red supreme membership card, and I'm the first one here. No matter what, I have to get a bicycle today, right?"
"Hehe! Of course. Little brother, please go in and hand over your bicycles. Someone will deliver them to you! "
Cao Wendong said with a smile when he saw the young man in front of the queue holding the red membership card of the Strange Interest Pavilion.
"Thank you, Boss Cao!"
After a while, the young man came out of Cao Wendong's Appraisal Pavilion, pushing a brand new bicycle with a smile on his face.
"Wow, so this is a bicycle. It looks so cool!"
"Tsk tsk, selling this bicycle for 400 strings of coins isn't expensive at all!"
"I heard that a bicycle doesn't require animal power. Don't tell me you only need to step on the pedals on the plate?"
"That's right! The last time I saw the Duke of Yong 'an, he rode it like this! "
"Hey! I wonder if it'll be my turn! I just happened to be ranked eighth! If I had known earlier, I would have bought a red supreme membership card! "
The young man who received the bicycle left proudly under the envious gazes and exclamations of the crowd.
The people behind him went into the queue to pay for their bicycles. After the seventh person received his bicycle, Cao Shaodong came out and clasped his hands to the crowd. He said apologetically, "Dear friends, I'm really sorry. All the bicycles in the Appraisal Pavilion are sold out today. Please come back another day! I'm really sorry! "
Hearing his words, the people in the queue couldn't stand it anymore!
"No, Boss Cao, you've only sold a few bicycles! How could they be sold out already? "
"Yeah! I heard that your shop has eight bicycles today. Where's the last one? Hurry up and give it to me! "
Cao Wendong smiled bitterly and said, "I'm really sorry. There were eight bicycles originally, but I gave one to my son. Please come back another day when you have more bicycles!"
