After rebirth, I went from a peasant girl to the richest man

Bai Qingyun put the teacup down heavily, crossed his arms, glanced to the side angrily, and said angrily: "Third brother is too cunning!"

"He deliberately made me eat some sweet snacks and talked about other things to distract me, so that I accidentally drank this cup of tea."

"Sure enough, what mother said is right, there is no business without fraud!"

"Sister, you only told me to find a way to sell this tea to you, but you didn't tell me to use some strategies! Besides, this is not called being a profiteer. People only want to drink tea when they are thirsty. Brother, this is called strategy!"

Bai Qinghai tried to please and comfort Bai Qingyun for a while, and then continued speaking when he saw the other party turned around.

"My brother only said that he would inherit the hundred acres of fertile land from our family and become a farmer. He didn't say that he would never do business again!"

"Then you said that being a businessman is not the right way. Aren't you ready to give up?" Bai Qingyun asked him with bright eyes in the dark.

Bai Qinghai couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. He didn't expect that he would start to deny himself because of a momentary thought.

"I originally thought so, but now Third Brother doesn't think so anymore!"

"Oh? What does Third Brother think about the way of doing business now?" Bai Qingyun asked curiously.

"Scholars, farmers, merchants, and artisans are all given by the world, just like the shackles on women. In fact, there is no distinction between high and low in these things, right?"

"My sister always says that all people are born equal, but before that, I also heard that kings, dukes, generals and ministers are all of different species. I never believed these words."

"It was not until we arrived on the road to Jiangzhou Prefecture that I saw that in this chaotic world, the common people, the nobles, the merchants... they all lived equally in the chaotic world. Only then did my brother feel differently."

"Equality is never given to you by others, but something you can fight for. My brother also wants to take a different path to see if merchants are no longer the lowest class if they are truly rich enough to rival a country."

"It turns out that my brother has such great ambitions!" Bai Qingyun sighed, holding his little face.

Bai Qinghai looked at his younger sister's quirky appearance and couldn't help laughing: "My brother's ambition is nothing compared to yours!"

"You asked all the girls in the village to go to private schools. Many people were against it at first. After all, the families had finally managed to get some money, and they all wanted to save it for their sons to carry on the family line. It would be good enough if they could get a dowry for their daughters when they got married."

"It was you who insisted on having Village Chief Yang lobby and let Xi Yue be a role model for the village, which made many families start to waver."

"Many girls in the village are very grateful to you."

"There are three thousand great ways, sister. You have shown us more choices. It turns out that people can live this way. I don't believe that your ambition does not need to be supported by money."

"It just so happens that my brother loves money. If he makes money in the future, he should spend it on his sister!"

Bai Qingyun squinted her eyes, as if she saw that the road to lying flat in the future was becoming smoother and smoother: "Okay, then when my brother makes money, I will just spend money and become a professional spendthrift girl, no, a spendthrift sister!"

"You are so careless with your words. You are a girl, I don't know who you learned this from!" Bai Qinghai tapped her head and said helplessly.

"Hehe, so that your sister can spend money sooner, do you want to learn how to be a businessman sooner?"

Bai Qinghai was shocked: "To learn business, my family doesn't have the conditions! Your shop hasn't even opened yet, and my family only has fields and hills. Even if I want to learn, I don't have the conditions!"

"Third brother, all the classics of literature and martial arts, such as the various schools of thought, the rare books, and the martial arts secrets, can only be passed down through the ages by being written into books. Why can't business be written into books and passed down through the ages?"

Bai Qinghai was skeptical, but it was no wonder he did not know of any family doing business that would write something into a book. It would surely become a family heirloom.

This kind of thing will not be easily passed down. At most, only if the ancestors were engaged in business would leave some opportunities or industries for future generations, and it is very rare that it can be written into a book.

He told his thoughts honestly: "Sister, in business, it has always been about having money to turn around. If it is like making honeycomb coal and selling it at a high price, it will be fine. If you only have money, then find some rare things, buy them at a low price and sell them at a high price. There is no need to write such a simple principle into a book!"

He walked around the street and looked at several shops selling cloth, selling grain, running inns, running restaurants... and he was able to draw a conclusion.

Bai Qingyun shook his head and did not answer directly. Instead, he asked, "If there was a flood in Jiangzhou today, and my brother had just bought a batch of grain at a low price, and faced with the starving victims, would you sell it at a high price?"

"No, they don't have any money. Even if they sell it at a high price, they can't afford it." Bai Qinghai answered without thinking for long.

Bai Qingyun asked again: "If we don't sell it, there will be starving people everywhere. Will you sell it at a low price?"

He quickly replied, "No, if you buy at a low price and sell at a low price, this business means there is no profit. If you can't make money, then there is no value."

"So what should my brother do? Keep the food in his hands?"

"We have been in Jiangzhou for a short time, and we should know that Jiangzhou has a long rainy season. Many low-lying areas are prone to waterlogging, which makes it inconvenient to store grain. The loss of grain in the warehouse and the cost of hiring workers are almost equal to the profit from selling it at a high price in the future."

"Even so, will you still choose to keep this batch of grain and wait to sell it at a high price in the future?"

Bai Qingyun seemed to be making things difficult, but this was indeed what Jiangzhou City experienced every rainy season.

Before the rainy season comes every year, people are always worried, afraid that they will be submerged by floods, and this year they will become victims of the disaster.

Many merchants choose to leave Jiangzhou before the rainy season. This is almost a tacit understanding among traveling merchants from all over the place.

Even if they have abundant property and food, they will not feed a large number of disaster victims for free.

In order to avoid the government coming to their doorstep, those who cannot resist will flee first.

Wait until the rainy season is over before doing business.

Their family fortunes became wealthy in Jiangzhou, but they were unwilling to spend a penny to help the people of Jiangzhou.

Bai Qinghai had naturally heard of it before.

If he wanted to do business in Jiangzhou, he would have to face such difficulties.

Otherwise, he will just become like those businessmen.

But what makes him different from other businessmen is that his home is now in Jiangzhou.

He needs to think carefully about whether there is a better solution.

But the fact that this problem has persisted for so many years is enough to prove how difficult it is. It is impossible for someone who has never done business to come up with a solution.

Bai Qinghai kept tapping his forehead, the frequency getting faster and faster, and finally he could only look at Bai Qingyun helplessly and asked: "Sister, do you have any good ideas?"
