Chapter 30 Borrowing Chickens to Lay Eggs
Chapter 30 Borrowing Eggs
The prospects are beautiful, but the reality is slightly unsatisfactory. That is, Wu Ji has just started making thunderbolts, with little capital, few craftsmen, and small scale. He is still unable to sell thunderbolts to the army.
Once the army purchases, it will not be dozens, hundreds, or even thousands. With Wu Ji's existing capabilities, it is impossible to produce them, and there is no such a large amount of capital.
The safest way is to first prepare the Qiyun Club line, accumulate it to a certain scale, and then sell it to the army. That way, it would be much better.
In the next few days, Wu Ji was still so comfortable and had a good time in the position of chief clerk. The main reason was that Wu Ji and Huangfu Song cooperated, and Niu and Yang could only do odd jobs.
Occasionally, Zheng Tai will come to make a guest appearance and replace Huangfu Song to report numbers for Wu Ji. As he deepened his understanding, Zheng Tai admired Wu Ji more and more.
The reason why he admired Wu Ji so much was because Wu Ji's modern concepts, modern ideas, and modern knowledge were extremely novel in his eyes, which made him praise him endlessly and his evaluation of Wu Ji was getting higher and higher.
Correspondingly, Zheng Tai even repeatedly recommended Wu Ji to teach abacus methods in the Imperial College, but Wu Ji refused.
Teaching the abacus can certainly promote social changes in the Song Dynasty, but how can there be a big change in selling weapons? If the Song Dynasty used the thunder bullet well, it would be enough to defeat the Liao Kingdom or even destroy the Liao Kingdom, just to rewrite history. The Song Dynasty would no longer be so weak and its martial arts were weak. How long would it be?
Although the task is heavy and the road is long, the prospects are clear, and only Wu Ji needs to do the job.
A few days later, Wu Ji was resting at home, and Qi Dabao came. Qi Dabao smiled and shouted from afar as soon as he saw Wu Ji's face: "Master Wu, Master Wu, you can see you!"
He had a big mouth cracked and was just having fun. His big eyes narrowed into a small slit. Looking at his smile, he could catch up with Maitreya Buddha.
He took two steps at a time, quickly stepped forward and gave Wu Ji a bear hug. He was so worried that he tried too hard that Wu Ji could not stand the hug, and he almost parted: "Hero, be gentle! Be gentle! I almost parted!"
"Split up?" Qi Dabao then remembered that Wu Ji's small body was too weak and could not withstand the toss and said embarrassedly: "Master Wu, am I happy? I am really happy! Happy!"
"Please sit! Please sit!" Wu Ji invited Qi Dabao to sit down, and Wu Jian hurriedly brought tea.
"Hero, look at your appearance, the thunderbolt must be very popular, right?" Wu Ji saw Qi Dabao's appearance and guessed it.
"That's it! That's it!" Qi Dabao nodded fiercely, his neck almost broke: "Favored! Favored! So popular! But you are too cruel, killing a craftsman."
Obviously, some people in Qiyun Club have had bad intentions and want to dismantle them, but it would be strange if they don’t blow them up.
"Hero, you are wronged by me! Haven't I reminded you a long time ago? You can't demolish it!" Wu Ji's face turned solemn and his tone was very stern, saying, "Don't talk about you, even me, once you're done, you can't demolish it. I'll blow it to death if I go demolish it!"
This is not a scary talk, but a fact. Once assembled, whoever dismantles and dies, including Wu Ji.
"Master Wu, I have a major event to discuss with you this time!" Qi Dabao smiled and said seriously: "I know that you may not agree to this matter, but I still have to ask you if you are ordered by someone. Are you willing to sell us the secret method of the Thunderbolt Bomb? The silver is not a problem. Just pay for it. 10,000 taels, 30,000 taels, or even 50,000 tons, and you can just open it."
"Fifty thousand, one hundred thousand? It's really a big deal!" Wu Ji was slightly surprised at Qi Dabao's words. Are there too many rich people in Qiyun Club?
"The hero has said that I will not agree. If you want to have eggs, you have to keep the hen! I will not sell it no matter what." Wu Ji would not do such a thing as killing chicken eggs. If you do well, don't say 50,000 taels of silver, and a million taels of silver is no problem.
"I know you won't agree, so I asked casually." Qi Dabao was simply, even if he had such a good thing, he wouldn't sell it: "This time I came to buy you a batch of thunderbolt bullets, and this time there are a lot!"
"More? How many can it be? One hundred or two hundred?" Wu Ji knew a little about Qiyun Club and knew that Qiyun had many people, many rich people, and it was almost one or two hundred at a time.
"One or two hundred? You underestimate our Qiyun Club too much!" Qi Dabao raised his head proudly and raised his chest: "At least this number, one thousand!"
"One thousand?" Although Wu Ji knew something about Qiyun Club, the number still scared him and he secretly changed his mind: "This Qiyun Club is not simple! There must be hidden information inside!"
"What happened? Can't you do it?" Qi Dabao saw Wu Ji's surprise in his eyes, a little disappointed.
"Don't worry! Don't say a thousand, even if you want ten thousand, I can do it, it's just a longer time!" Naturally, the more orders, the better, so Wu Ji won't think it's too much.
"That's good! That's good!" Qi Dabao was very satisfied with Wu Ji's answer and put a package on the table: "This is fifty taels of gold, you have collected it. As for this gold, one tael to exchange for twenty taels of silver is not a problem, but one thousand silver is considered a deposit. If you have done it, tell me, I'll take it away."
The Song Dynasty was precious and silver was cheap, and it was quite reasonable to exchange one tael of gold for twenty taels of silver. At the most expensive time, one tael of gold could be exchanged for twenty-five taels of silver. Qi Dabao's price comparison was very reasonable.
Wu Ji opened the package and saw that it was shining with gold, which was very rare on the market, and it was usually used for bulk transactions.
"Okay!" Wu Ji agreed readily.
"It's okay, I'll go back first!" Qi Dabao stood up and was about to leave.
"Hero, wait!" Wu Ji hurriedly called Qi Dabao: "Hero, you Qiyun Club can eat a thousand thunderbolt bullets at a time, right? You guys are a lot of people?"
"We Qiyun Club are not bragging! A first-class hero!" Qi Dabao raised his head and was particularly arrogant: "We Qiyun Club have many people and a wide range of people. Don't say a thousand, even ten thousand is fine. But, there is no need for so many at the moment, and there will be more in the future."
Wu Ji heard it and decided that he did not tell lies, his eyes shining: "Hero, since that's the case, why don't we discuss and discuss long-term matters? Isn't it too much for you to buy it again and again? I have a way to do it once and for all."
"Oh! What's the way to do it?" Qi Dabao raised his interest to Wu Ji and asked hurriedly.
"I want to be responsible for making Pili Bombs, and you can help me sell them. As for the money, we will share it." Wu Ji wanted to use Qiyun Club's network to promote Pili Bombs. This is borrowing chickens to lay eggs, which is the best way for Wu Ji to do now.
With Wu Ji's current strength, it is impossible to establish a sales network. Borrowing the relationship between Qiyun Club is indeed the best way to go.
"This is a good way! Our Qiyun Club has many shops, which are just right for you!" Qi Dabao was overjoyed and asked hurriedly: "How to divide this method?"
"This is what we discussed." Wu Ji was even more happy after hearing Qi Dabao's words.
Next, the two began to negotiate and bargain. After a discussion, it was finally agreed that every time Qiyun Club took a thunder bullet from Wu Ji, they would have to pay ten taels of silver, which would not be shared. The selling price was except for the labor, transportation, and site fees of Qiyun Club, and then the fixed price of Wu Ji, ten taels of silver, according to 307 cents, Wu Ji Qi, and Qiyun Club.
Even so, once it sells a lot, Qiyun Club will make a lot of money. According to the news feedback from Qi Dabao, Qiyun Club will come forward and sell fifteen taels of silver per piece. In other words, every time Qiyun Club sells one, it will make more than one tael of silver, which is a big income.
