Before he knew it, Qin Bai's purpose for this business had become different. He wanted to ensure success, but more importantly, he was able to find out the match market. Therefore, in the subsequent confrontation, he relaxed the quantity to 300 boxes, but he refused to give in at all in terms of price. He just wanted to find out the bottom line, and even continued to challenge Cui Xinxiao's patience limit.

However, Qin Bai was guilty at this time, and Cui Xinxiao was even more guilty. Seeing that the negotiations had reached a deadlock, Qin Bai was ready to make a last effort: "Master Cui, you can ask about it casually in Jingjiazhuang. This match is not easy to make, it takes time and effort. There are thousands of people working in the workshop. The price is really unsuccessful. In fact, you, Mr. Cui, are the first batch to buy matches. The others are priced at 50,000 qian. You are 50,000 qian. Are I not sincere yet?"

"Master Qin, I have already promised to give you four taels and two cents, but you still don't give me a penny? This is really...? We all say it's an old friendship, and the amount this time is so large. Do you really plan to give me no discount?"

Seeing that the bargaining time had been delayed for too long, there was a Black-Tooth Hero in the house. Things were prioritized and discounted items could be done at any time. Qin Bai was planning to send Black-Tooth Hero back first, and after he came back, he would slowly fight a protracted battle with Cui Xinxiao.

He picked up the teacup and Qin Bai smiled and said, "This is how you are. Mr. Cui. If you are tired from the journey, find a place to rest first. At Mengxianju, you will welcome you at night. Please enjoy the wine with a glass of wine?"

But as soon as these words came to Cui Xinxiao's ears, he could not sit still. In an instant, his mind suddenly became clear. He was really greedy for the small and lost the big ones, and he wanted to slap himself a few times on the spot.

This time, the source number set 1,000 boxes, and the agreed price was 10 taels per box. In Linqingzhou, there are five or six big merchants of the same level, and there are more than a dozen. Moreover, the trade routes are all directions and there are basically no overlap. In other words, even if each company only needs 1,000 boxes, and in one round, Cui Xinxiao needs to run more than twenty times.

It can be calculated that it only takes six or seven days from Jingjiazhuang to Linqing. The difference between each box is five taels, and 1,000 boxes is 5,000 taels. It doesn’t take a month to run back and forth, and it’s easy to get ten thousand taels of silver. And ten thousand taels of silver, there was an adjective in this era called wealthy, which is almost the same as the modern billionaire. This is not something that Cui Xinxiao could imagine in the past.

Don’t think that all the merchants in this era make a lot of money. Small businessmen like Cui Xinxiao run three or four times a day, and they only make a few hundred taels. If they can exceed 1,000 taels in a year, they will be successful like winning the lottery. A maritime merchant like the Xia family may make 30,000 taels back and forth on a merchant ship, but the journey is long and they can only go twice a year, so there will definitely be no 100,000 taels. The same is true for the trade routes outside the border, with long distances and high risks, and they cannot travel a few times a year.

Now Cui Xinxiao can travel 20 or 30 times a year, and this waterway is almost risk-free, and it is easy to be more than 100,000 taels. Of course, this is the theory, but who stipulates that each trip can only have 1,000 boxes? If each trip is 3,000 boxes? 5,000 boxes? or even 10,000 boxes? Cui Xinxiao no longer dares to imagine this huge number. There is no doubt that there is a mountain of gold in front of him!

Cui Xinxiao remembered Qin Bai's words again, "It takes thousands of people to produce matches?" This is impossible to lie at all, and it is easy to find out in Jingjiazhuang. So, labor costs alone are quite high, not to mention other costs. Maybe... Five liang is really at the throat price.

To be honest, I am really too unintentional. I can earn five taels per box in just ten days. And the young man named Qin in front of me is only five taels. Since that's the case, why bother to care about the amount of money, one tael of silver? The key now is to be fast! The other is to monopolize!

If someone else discovers this business opportunity, although you can still do it, you will definitely not have much money left. So take this opportunity to swallow all the goods in one bite. Aren’t you just willing to take out 300 boxes? The output is definitely not very high, that’s good. If you hold the matches in your hands, wouldn’t you just set the price?

Thinking of this, Cui Xinxiao quickly raised his hand to stop him: "Slow down, Master Qin! Forget it, five taels are five taels, but you must guarantee 1,000 boxes. And the quantity must not be small in the future, and I must ensure my transaction here."

The sudden change in style made Qin Bai stunned. Then he smiled: "I only have 350 boxes of stock here, and the rest will need to be prepared for one month. Do you think...?"

"Give me the spot stock now. I'll give you the rest at most seven days."

"Master Cui! But I really don't have time to do it here?"

"Then relax, how about ten days?"

"Half a month! I promise to prepare it for you half a month!"

“…”

When he returned to the inner room, Qin Bai's steps were full of wind. He started this big business and felt that his back was much thicker. After meeting Heiyaoxiong again, Qin Bai said, "Master Xiong! It's only 53% at a price. If you want, give it to the goods now. If you don't want, I will sell it slowly outside."

"Bai Er, didn't you say that, it's only 50%, it won't work at all!"

Qin Bai now has money in his hands and is not panicked. Since this is the case, there is no need to talk nonsense. He smiled and picked up the tea.

Heiyaxiong was stunned and cursed in his heart: "I still want to play hard to get with me?" He didn't say nonsense and stood up to say goodbye, "Brother Bai Er, listen to my brother's advice. The opportunity is rare, and there will be no such cheap things in the future."

However, Qin Bai still had a firm expression. Heiyao Xiong had no choice but to say goodbye. He couldn't help but feel angry: "Fuck! I'll beg me next time. I'll give you 45% at most, no! It's 40% at most!..."

...

Cui Xinxiao came and left in a hurry. He took the 350 boxes away first and agreed to take the remaining 650 boxes in half a month. Cui Xinxiao would definitely not make any noise, for fear of attracting others' attention. Now he can make money by traveling more. Qin Bai also keeps the purpose of being confidential, keeping his wealth open and strictly adhering to the despicable development.

Even the amount given to Cui Xinxiao is quite conservative, at most one-third of the current output, so that the outside world will not speculate on his real output, and Cui Xinxiao will not control his own sales alone. He is willing to eat excess inventory because Qin Bai has already gained confidence and opening up the situation is nothing more than a matter of time.
