Chapter 3 How much is the profit?

The sudden sound sounded very familiar, which scared the Yuliang officials and the others trembled. Everyone calmed down and looked at Wu Li Cao.

Wu Li Cao, who made the officials' fear of being disgusted, was unhappy when he saw these Yuliang officials making noises. However, he saw Li Li, who was "ragged" among the crowd, walked up to him:

"What, what did you do? They beat you up in a group?"

"Group fight?" Li Li was stunned for a moment and quickly explained: "Shengzu misunderstood. We are discussing something."

Wu Licao looked at Li Li's clothes like rags and sneered: "Discuss? Is this the discussion?"

Li Li quickly explained. Wu Licao heard that Li Li was now selling fish hooks in the factory, and gave priority to Yu Liang Li of the county party committee. He continued to sneer: "What? You are forced by the iron dice and yellow to be desperate and have started to make money?"

"Shang Zuo, the villain has no courage to go wrong paths. Fish hooks are not an amazing thing." Li Li couldn't help but scream.

Wu Licao said mercilessly: "No? You buy iron materials in the iron smelting to make your own fish hooks, not sell them in the city, but sell them to others in private. Isn't you trying to evade taxes?"

‘Yes, I just want to evade taxes’ Li Li thought so, but he could not admit it on his face:

"Super! Everyone is hard to catch fish every month. I'm thinking that it's not easy for everyone. If you can, please help me. Take some fish hooks and sell them at a low price. How do you say it's tax evasion?"

When the Yuliang officials heard Li Li say this, they felt warm in their hearts: Li Sanlang is righteous, and he is indeed his own person. Whenever there is a benefit, he thinks that his own people will benefit first.

Without waiting for Wu Li Cao to refute, Li Li said: "The villain rented a shop in the city, sold fish hooks, and had accounts. The government can check it at any time, and that is a tax payment..."

"Is that true?" Wu Li Cao lost interest when he heard this.

He had heard before that Li Li's sister-in-law was sold to Tie Dihuang by her family to pay off the debt. In order to save the person, Li Li seemed to owe Tie Dihuang a lot of money.

Now he set up a small workshop to sell fish hooks to make money and pay off debts. Since he has a shop in the city and must pay taxes, he has nothing to say.

Besides, it is reasonable for Yuliang to sell fish hooks!

"Okay, okay, a group of people are making noise here, what's the point!" Wu Li Cao waved his hand and asked the Yuliang Little League members to go out to work quickly: "Are you very idle? Do you want to send some more?"

Seeing a group of minor officials, Wu Licao was very satisfied with his intimidation effect. He was about to go to work on something else when he suddenly remembered something and asked Li Li: "What are you quarreling just now?"

Li Li replied: "The villain is selling fish hooks."

Wu Licao said: "I know you are selling fish hooks... How much does it cost to sell your fish hooks to them?"

"Super the assistant, the villain's fish hook..." Li Li handed a medium-sized fish hook to Wu Licao, briefly introduced it, and emphasized in public that the hook's load-bearing ability and "wholesale price" were demonstrated.

"More...how many!" Wu Licao felt that there seemed to be something wrong with his ears, so he asked Li Li to repeat the "quotation".

After confirming again, Wu Licao looked at Li Li with wide eyes, as if he was looking at an idiot: the fish hook with a barb, which is well-made, but it is sold so cheaply. Do you have any brain problems?

However, Li Li was not an idiot, so Wu Li Cao quickly came to his senses, made a look of "Follow me" and then walked out.

Li Li understood the look, but did not go out immediately. He first said to his companions, "Come on the go" and reassured everyone that the order was fine, so he quickly left the yard.

In the corner, Wu Li Cao saw that there was no one around and asked, "Li Li, is it really the price?"

Li Li replied: "How dare the villain deceive the assistant? It costs 1,000 yuan to sell it, and it is the price."

"Then..." Wu Licao pondered, "Then I will buy fish hooks for you for a long time, how much can you sell?"

"I wonder how much I want at the foot of the sect?"

Wu Licao's heart moved when he heard this, raised his hand, stretched out his index finger, and said deliberately vaguely: "This number?"

Li Li knew this trick very well, and he was happy that big customers placed long-term orders: "Ten thousand? This is OK, but you have to wait..."

When Wu Licao heard this, his heart suddenly started to beating violently. Ten thousand fish hooks may weigh only twenty kilograms, but it is an amazing number. If a blacksmith wants to make so many fish hooks, he is afraid that it is not exhausted.

But can Li Li do it?

Wu Licao was ecstatic, but his face remained silent: "This is what you said!"

Li Li nodded with a naive look on his face: "It was said by the villain...but it is not something I can hand it out every day..."

"Then..." Wu Licao suddenly felt guilty and whispered: "Then, deliver goods from outside the city."

‘Wow, Wu Papi, you are evading taxes!’ Li Li shouted in his heart, but nodded: “Yes, the villain understands.”

Wu Licao did not forget to tell: "I have never bought a fish hook from you."

"Yes, the villain understands."

"Each batch of 10,000 fish hooks always cost nearly twenty kilograms of iron. Over time, how do you level the accounts?"

"The villain...is not necessarily picking up the seller's iron materials in the city..."

This is what I mean when buying iron materials in a private furnace. Wu Licao smiled and narrowed his eyes into a line when he heard this. The more he looked at Li Li, the more he felt: "So, when will you deliver the first batch of ten thousand fish hooks?"

The two of them muttered for a while and agreed to the relevant matters. Wu Li Cao left with a stern face as usual, while Li Li walked back.

Wu Li Cao bought fish hooks, and Li Li knew that this person could not have sold the fish hooks to make hook fishing, but to resell the fish hooks and eat the price difference.

The reason is very simple. His fish hook is of good quality and set a "wholesale price". After the other party purchases a large number of fish hooks, he can easily make a profit by just replacing the store. Moreover, the profit is good and there is no need to work hard to fish.

Only fools will use all fishing hooks for wholesale prices. The logic of normal people should be to make small portions of hooks and most of them will be resold.

As for smart people, they can collect as many fish hooks as they have, and they can easily make profits.

The Yuliang officials may not have figured out this truth yet, but they will figure it out sooner or later.

This is exactly what Li Li hopes, and then...

Then, you all became my distributors. Most of the fish hooks I produced were purchased by you without passing through tax collectors, and then they were distributed unknowingly...

You don't have to pay taxes, and I, of course, don't have to pay taxes for it...

No one will know how much I profit from selling fish hooks.

.....

On the banks of the Po River, several ships were leaning against each other, and the people on each ship gathered in the reeds on the shore, sneaking and suspicious, yelling around Li Li, who was dressed in a civilian clothes.

Jia Cheng was holding paper and pen on the side to make records. There were many wooden boxes piled up on the ground next to him, and he didn't know what was inside.

"I said Lao Wang, this is wrong," a middle-aged man complained to the Yuliang official Wang Le, "I promised three days, and then three days later, and now I have to wait for three more days. Hey, if you wait, the Buddha will be in a fire!"

"No, you misunderstood," Wang Le smiled and patted the other party's shoulder, pointing to the wooden box that had just been lifted: "This box has 24,000 fish hooks, and the 200,000 you want to get all together in nine days."

"A box of fish hooks, the empty weight of the wooden box and moisture-proof chaff, about fifty or sixty kilograms, nine boxes, seven hundred and twenty kilograms, and six stones, how many places can it occupy in the cabin?"

"Would you be uneasy when you transport Xinping together? Your wife and brother exchanged nine boxes at a time. Isn't it good? What's the hurry?"

The wooden box was opened, and there were wooden chaff. Among the wooden chaff were dense fish hooks, in groups of ten, hooked on the reed tube. Everyone at the scene looked at the tens of thousands of fish hooks and their eyes were lit.

Li Li rubbed his hands and narrowed his eyes with a smile: "Don't be impatient. I am producing fish hooks on the spot, and I will deliver them on time according to your order."

He took out a fish hook from the box with his right hand with gloves: "There is absolutely no other fish hook that can be made by me, and there will be no such low price, now..."

Li Li pointed to the more than 20 wooden boxes piled on the ground and smiled: "Today, the villain will deliver the goods as scheduled. Please register here..."

"In the future, you just need to send someone to run errands, and you can get as much as you write on the order..."

Jia Cheng looked at the people in front of him with a little embarrassed embarrassment, registered for the other party, and then "delivered". These people were tax collectors, who usually guarded the Guanjin market to collect taxes, and were known as "pulling the feathers by the geese."

Now taking the lead in tax evasion, it's really...

Li Li opened a workshop to sell fish hooks, which was already incredible, and even more incredible. Li Li also developed some minor officials from the county party committee and county party committee into "customers".

Of course, these people buy tens of thousands of fish hooks, not for fishing, but for reselling and making the difference.

Although this kind of resale is not huge profits, it is easy to win. You can make money by turning your back. Why not do it?

As for taxes...

Those who are responsible for collecting taxes are evading taxes here and buy fish hooks from Li Li, so just pay for taxes.

But Jia Cheng couldn't understand how Li Li produced so many fish hooks every month? Although he helped the workshop, he did not involve production.

So, if these fish hooks need to make money, how many do you have to sell to make a penny?
