The heavens set sail from the courtyard

Chapter 360
Wang Gang never expected that a small piece of soap would cause a big disturbance in Bianjing City.

Sheng Hong handed over the soap formula to his superior, and soon similar products appeared in the world. At that time, the price of soap was quite firm.

Later, anyone who came to Sheng Hong to ask for soap formula, Sheng Hong gave it unconditionally, and more and more people sold soap in Bianjing City.

At this time, the soap in Wang Gang's hands began to be greatly reduced in price, and sold in large quantities to merchants in the south.

Wang Gang made a lot of quick money because he stocked up on a large amount of goods.

In addition, those who got the formula, the production and sales were a step slower, and there were too many people buying raw materials, which caused the cost to rise. When the soap was made, many people found that the retail price in the market was not as high as the cost.

It's useless for you to insist on not lowering the price. Others will lower the price, which makes the price of soap lower and lower, and gradually loses its profit.

At this time, Wang Gang had already withdrawn and stopped selling soap at all. Instead, he sat on the sidelines and watched the excitement.

Shops selling soap soon bloomed everywhere in Bianjing City, and the price was reduced to six yuan a piece, which anyone could afford.

The common people are happy. Soap, which used to be unattainable, is now cheap. Many people buy a piece of soap and try it at home.

Gradually, the merchants also realized that soap is a consumable, even if it sells for six pennies, it can still make a profit of one or two pennies.

For a time, Bianjing was full of people selling soap.

The common people are happy, but some people are not happy, that is the rich and powerful.

Originally, when soap first appeared, it sold for a hundred pennies, and only the rich and powerful could afford it. But now that the soap is rotten on the street, people who bought it for one hundred pennies were completely unbalanced.

Many people vented their anger on the Sheng family, wanting to cause trouble for Sheng Hong.

However, Sheng Hong was also a slippery man. When he gave the formula back then, he made friends with many dignitaries, and made a high-profile announcement to donate the formula for free.

In this way, Sheng Hong flattered some people, namely Qingliu.

Qingliu of the imperial court has always been a very strong force, these people don't love money, only a good reputation.

Sheng Hong successfully broke into the Qing Dynasty with the soap formula, and gained a reputation for treating money like dung.

It is very important for Da Song to have a good reputation, even if the official is small, it doesn't matter, because Qingliu likes to protect the weak most.

In Qingliu's eyes, Sheng Hong became an object of oppression by the rich and powerful, so naturally someone would protect him.

The chaos of soap gradually became more and more serious. In order to grab business, several merchants lost their face, and the price of soap became lower and lower.

Some people even fought fiercely in order to grab business. The governor of Kaifeng has been very busy recently.

It wasn't until a businessman lost his life because of robbing business that the emperor couldn't sit still and went off the court directly, announcing that the soap was a tribute and no one could sell it in the future, and the turmoil was stopped.

The instigator, Wang Gang, made a fortune, so he withdrew in time and sat at home counting the money.

Lin Sushuang's eyes were already red when she looked at the account book.

"Did we make so much money?" Wang Gang checked the account book and was also surprised by the profit of the soap.

"10 taels, we have earned 10 taels during this time!?" Lin Sushuang put down the account book with a smirk on his face.

"It's mainly the last wave, selling to the male businessman, we earn the most." Wang Gang laughed.

"Unfortunately, the soap has become a tribute to the royal family, and it cannot be sold in the future."

Wang Gang sneered and said, "Even if we can sell it in the future, the market will be chaotic and we won't be able to make any money at all."

Lin Sushuang didn't understand these business methods, but only knew that she had 10 taels.

"Feng'er, I will keep these money for you to marry a wife in the future, and your sister, there will be no shortage of dowry in the future!" Lin Sushuang said cheerfully.

"Mother, don't think about this money, we can't keep it." Wang Gang said regretfully.

Lin Sushuang was startled, grinned and said, "Who, who dares to steal our money."

Wang Gang sighed: "Mother, how do you think our soap sells so smoothly?"

Lin Sushuang wondered: "Our products are good, so naturally they sell well."

Wang Gang was speechless: "Those southern merchants were actually recruited by the big house of the Sheng family, and my father worked there."

"Then give your father 1 taels, no more." Lin Sushuang said distressedly.

"Since it's given to Dad, what about the old lady? Where's Mrs. Wang?" Wang Gang asked back.

"Why give it to them?" Lin Sushuang said in pain.

"If you don't give it, you can't do it, otherwise we won't be able to do anything in the Sheng family!"

Wang Gang understands human nature too well, no matter how stupid Mrs. Wang is, she can't remain indifferent when she sees Lin Xige earning so much money.

It's the same with the old lady, it won't work without some blood.

"Then how much money do you think is suitable?" Lin Sushuang asked with trembling lips.

"Give father [-], the old lady [-], Mrs. Wang [-], and we keep [-] for ourselves," Wang Gang said.

"Ah, half of it will be given away at once!" Lin Sushuang said painfully.

"I don't plan to keep the remaining 5 taels. We want to use it to make friends with Ningyuanhou's Mansion and Qi Guogong Mansion." Wang Gang said in an astonishing way.

"What, you prodigal son, you don't give money like this!" Lin Sushuang couldn't sit still, she stood up and scolded her son.

Wang Gang explained: "It's useless to keep money in your hands. Only when money makes money is the right way."

Lin Sushuang asked suspiciously, "What are you going to sell?"

Wang Gang said with a smile: "I have a lot of good things in my hand, but this time the soap sale reminds me that our Sheng family alone can't do business, we have to attract people to join the business."

Lin Sushuang also calmed down at this moment.

"Feng'er, your father doesn't like your business, so let's not make him angry." Lin Sushuang said scrupulously.

Wang Gang shook his head and said: "Mother, you are my father's concubine, and I am a concubine. How much property can I inherit from the Sheng family in the future? If you don't plan for yourself now, it will be too late."

Lin Sushuang's expression was gloomy upon hearing the words.

"I want to use the 5 taels as the capital, Laning Yuanhou and Qi Guogong will invest in the shares, and the three will work together to do business, and there will be fewer people coveting.

More importantly, I will have beneficial contacts with Gu Tingye and Qi Heng in the future, and it will be easier to become an official in the future. "

Lin Sushuang is not completely stupid after all, and she also understands that 5 taels of silver is nothing compared to her son's future.

In the end, Lin Sushuang agreed to take out the money.

The next day, just after Wang finished his class with Zhuang Xuejiao, he grabbed Gu Tingye and Qi Heng who wanted to leave.

"Sheng Changfeng, do you want to learn martial arts?" Gu Tingye's hands itch when he sees Wang Gang now, and he feels uncomfortable if he doesn't fight.

"Is there nothing else on your mind except fighting?" Wang Gang rolled his eyes and said, "I'm treating guests at noon today. Let's go to Fanlou for dinner."

Fanlou is the largest restaurant in Bianjing City, and it is said that there are people from the prime minister's mansion behind it.

"You invited me to dinner. That's a weasel giving a New Year greeting to a chicken. It must have no good intentions." Gu Tingye said suspiciously.

Qi Heng said: "I won't go, I want to go home and study."

Wang Gang pulled Qi Heng and said, "My lord, I invite you to dinner today, and I do have a business that I would like to cooperate with you."

Gu Tingye said unhappily, "What are you going to sell again?"

When selling soap back then, Marquis Ning Yuan also wanted a piece of the pie, but Wang Gang stopped Gu Tingye and asked him to wait.

In this class, the emperor went straight to the court and listed the soap as a tribute, and no one got to play.

Marquis Ning Yuan didn't end, he didn't gain, and he didn't lose.

"I have good things in my hand, so I naturally think about my brother." Wang Gang laughed.

Gu Tingye believes that Wang Gang's words are ghosts.

"Your brother is Changbai, not me."

Wang Gang said shamelessly: "Our relationship is forged, and we are closer than brothers."

"Don't disgust me." Gu Tingye rolled Wang Gang's eyes, and said, "I think you want to get Marquis Ning Yuan and the Duke of Qi's government to buy shares, so I will support you!"

We are all smart people, and sometimes it is convenient to talk.

"That's right. I want the three to cooperate. I don't want a penny from Ningyuanhou's Mansion and Qi Guogong's Mansion. In the future, I will give you [-]% of the shares every year."

Qi Heng said: "I have never participated in the affairs of the Duke's Mansion, you have found the wrong person."

Wang Gang said with a smile: "Brother Qi just needs to go back and talk to the Duke of the country. It's done. I'll introduce my sixth younger sister to you."

When Qi Heng heard it, his eyes lit up.

Gu Tingye rolled his eyes again, and said to Wang Gang: "Your Sheng family deserves to start a business, you won't even let your sister go!"

Wang Gang gritted his teeth and said to Gu Tingye: "If the cooperation between the three companies can be successful, I will pass on the Baji spear to you."

Gu Tingye's eyes also lit up: "The Baji spear has been passed on, or Bajiquan is also passed on."

Looking at Gu Tingye's insatiable face, Wang Gang gritted his teeth again and squeezed out the word "good" from between his teeth.

"Give me an idea of ​​what you are going to sell this time." Gu Tingye became cautious seeing Wang Gang being so easy-going.

Wang Gang took out the things he had prepared a long time ago.

"I'm selling glass bottles and toilet water this time."
