The next day, early morning.

Shu Kongru came to Lin Mansion on time to visit Lin Zheyun.

This time, Shu Kongru was led into the Lin Mansion by Xiao Huangmen. The person waiting to receive him in the main hall was no longer Lin Zheyun, but Wen Nanfang, who usually only met him because he was teaching Chinese characters.

"Brother Wen." Shu Kongru saw that the person who met him was Wen Nanfang, who taught him how to read every day. He immediately handed over his hand and went up to greet him.

Wen Nanfang also politely invited Shu Kongru to sit down and drink tea.

The two chatted for a while, and Wen Nanfang took the lead to get to the point: "Brother Shu, County Magistrate Lin is going to hand over all matters concerning the sale of the water tanker to you alone."

The two parties have been pushing and pulling for a long time, and today they finally got to the point.

After finally hearing what he wanted to hear, Shu Kongru breathed a sigh of relief and immediately said overjoyed: "I wonder how much County Magistrate Lin is going to price this waterwheel?"

"One thousand taels." Wen Nanfang quietly reported the price.

When Shu Kongru heard the price, he choked on the sip of tea he was drinking. He coughed several times before he regained his composure.

"Brother Wen, did you say the selling price was wrong?" Shu Kongru asked with difficulty as his face turned red due to coughing.

Wen Nanfang was very calm and replied: "Yes, that's the price. This waterwheel technology is a priceless treasure. This is the lowest price. Only you know. As for how much Brother Shu can sell a waterwheel elsewhere, we adults don't know.

If you interfere, the extra money will be yours, Brother Shu."

Shu Kongru looked troubled: "Brother Wen, can we still discuss the price?"

"There is no room for negotiation. If Brother Shu finds it difficult, we adults are not people who like to embarrass others..." Wen Nanfang didn't even raise his eyelids, still looking like an immortal, like a lion.

He is not the one who opens his mouth to talk about copper-smelling things.

When Shu Kongru saw that Wen Nanfang was not joking, he immediately changed his tune and interrupted his next words: "Do it! Do it! Why can't it be done? This waterwheel was designed and built by the first generation of 'craftsman' master, and it is comparable to a natural thing!"

Of course it’s worth the price!”

When Wen Nanfang heard the answer he wanted, a faint smile finally appeared on his lips, and he nodded and said, "In this case, I will just wait for Brother Shu's good news."

After saying this, Wen Nanfang put a light smile on his face and politely served tea to see off the guests.

Shu Kongru looked in a trance, swaying, walking out of the Lin Mansion as if he were stepping on clouds.

Wang Cai, an attendant waiting for Shu Kongru outside the palace gate, saw his master coming out and immediately stepped forward to support him and lead him into the carriage.

"Master, what's wrong with you?"

"So cruel." As soon as Shu Kongru entered the carriage, he collapsed in the carriage without any image, and said in a daze.

"What's so cruel?" Wangcai immediately closed the car curtain, fearing that outsiders would see his master's joke.

"Business is so ruthless." Shu Kongru's eyes went straight.

This County Magistrate Lin is really ruthless in his business...

Magistrate Lin was not a merchant, so how could he know so much about merchant sales and pricing? In the past, he did business with nobles from aristocratic families. Apart from being smart at calculating food prices, those people had no idea about the value of other things. They had no idea at all.

The concept of scarcity will only be calculated based on the cost of creation.

Because wealthy people in aristocratic families cannot calculate the cost, they may only increase the price by 10 times for takeout.

Because of this, Confucius often treated these aristocratic nobles as fools and deceived them to make money.

This County Magistrate Lin...it's really strange that he actually knows the value of 'technology'.

This waterwheel is indeed a good thing. Of course he, Shu Kongru, could sell the waterwheel for one thousand taels, or even one thousand two hundred taels. That was also possible.

But the base price he expected to get was not one thousand taels, but three hundred taels.

Shu Kongru originally wanted to do a favor and raised the price to five hundred taels to make the 'new owner' happy.

Unexpectedly, Wen Nanfang's mouthful of one thousand taels immediately drove up the price. If he sold a water tanker for one thousand two hundred taels, after excluding manpower, labor and transportation costs, he could earn up to fifty

Two are pretty good.

I thought it was a big deal at first, but now that it's done, it's still a big deal, it's just a profit, it's not that impressive anymore. As a businessman, Shu Kongru really couldn't bear this.

The risk was so big, but the benefit was so small. This time, Shu Kongru was making a loss-making deal.

But he couldn't let it go. The 'Master Craftsman' of the 'Craftsman Family' was obviously a disciple of the Lin Mansion. Since he could build such a good thing as the 'Water Wheel', who could say that the 'Master Craftsman' of the 'Craftsman Family' wouldn't make another one?

What about other good things?

With such a fat man hanging in front of him, how could Shu Kongru not be tempted?

Shu Kongru decided to calm down and invest in the current period...

Lin Mansion.

As soon as Shu Kongru left, Lin Zhihuang walked out of the wing next door and came here to look for Wen Nanfang.

When Lin Zhihuang saw Wen Nan, he smiled and said: "Brother Shu is really interesting. Yesterday he went to Xi County to inquire about the various government orders my father had made when he was an official here. This is because he noticed that my father was inconsistent.

It’s a ‘shell’.”

Hearing this, Wen Nanfang slightly raised his eyebrows and said, "He is indeed a smart man, but after getting along with him for a few days, he quickly realized that your father is not worthy of his reputation."

Lin Zhihuang couldn't hear Wen Nannan's disdain for Lin Zheyun. He smiled and said: "Since Shu Kongru is a businessman, we are not afraid that he is smart, but that he is not smart. This is very good. Let's look at him again.

, if this person is good, I will no longer hide behind the scenes, be secretive, and be honest with him directly."

"Lord, why don't you take it easy first? It's fine as before. Shu Kongrong is too busy thinking. Let's let him have a preliminary impression of you for the time being." Wen Nanfang disagreed and suggested with his hand raised.

"But let's first take a look at this person's true strength. Let's see how many waterwheels he can sell and how far he can sell them." Lin Zhihuang nodded and said with a smile.
