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

Bai Qingyun's expression was slightly serious. He put away his frivolous appearance and answered in a serious tone: "Third brother, I will distribute all these grains to the disaster victims for free!"

"No charge?" Bai Qinghai was surprised: "Wouldn't that be a losing business? Even if you have a sense of justice in your heart, you can't just focus on justice and ignore long-term plans!"

He used to be a man who loved to run wildly, and his skin was tanned by the sun. He had previously stayed in his house in Qujiang County to study for a period of time, and now he has returned with a whiter complexion.

Their skin was like their mother's, fair and translucent, and after practicing martial arts, they looked much more energetic.

At this moment, there was a deep wrinkle between the eyebrows on that tight and fair face, and his whole face showed how wrong Bai Qingyun's behavior was.

Bai Qingyun didn't have any extra expression. He just looked at Bai Qinghai, who was rarely serious, with a faint smile in his eyes.

"Don't worry, Third Brother, I'm not done yet!"

"Before that, I will rent a shop in the city and hang my own sign. For those merchants who leave Jiangzhou City, whether it's their shops or their goods, I will take the trouble to look after them before the rainy season completely fades away."

"Third brother, what do you think if someone is willing to buy these shops and goods and only use them during the rainy season, what will those merchants do?"

This question is not difficult. As long as you put yourself in the perspective of a businessman, you can quickly answer it: "Of course I am happy. I have no problem selling my products, and I can earn some rent during the period of closure. Even people who don't know how to do business know what to choose!"

"Yes, it's just a new sign. They can come back and change it and do business as usual, but business has always been a living thing, not a dead thing. It's people who live!"

"Sister, I still don't understand what you mean." Bai Qinghai shook his head, his brows still furrowed.

Bai Qingyun smiled and continued, "There is my store's mark on the grain bags. When distributing the grain, I arranged for the shop assistants to repeat the name of the store. If I get along well with the government, I can even ask the soldiers to spread the word. Third brother, what do you think of my store in the hearts of the people?"

"Of course it's a good shop that helps the world and saves the people. Even you, the boss, will probably be singled out and praised in poems!" Bai Qinghai's confusion turned into joy, and he finally understood Bai Qingyun's intention.

Bai Qingyun saw that the other party finally understood the key point, so he didn't say anything more: "Although these grains can't save all the people, at least they can stabilize some of the victims. After they are settled, they need to buy basic daily necessities such as cloth. When they see the name of the store that saved them on the street, what do you think they will choose?"

"Sister, you are...giving up a little to gain a lot! The same cloth can be bought from other places or from you, so I might as well give this money to you!"

"The victims came in groups, and word spread quickly. Soon the store would be able to generate a large amount of revenue. The cost of renting a store and selling goods was also very low. It seemed like we were losing food, but in fact we were winning the hearts of the people."

"No wonder my sister said that this business is viable. As long as these people remember the great feat of increasing grain production, even if the rent of the store expires and they open a new one nearby, it will be welcomed by the local people."

"Great! Great!" Bai Qinghai exclaimed repeatedly, and couldn't help but doubt himself: "Why can't I think of such a brilliant idea!"

Bai Qingyun smiled and thought to herself: That's not all! She had only used the advertising effect lightly. If she incorporated her previous experience in starting a company, marketing methods, product enrichment, promotions, consumer psychology...all these things were put into the battle, I'm afraid that ordinary stores would not be able to withstand it.

"Brother, do you still think that business is just a simple buying or selling of goods?"

Bai Qinghai looked at the person opposite him. She was obviously a young girl, not even of marriageable age, but she was much calmer than him. He couldn't help but ask curiously, "Where did my sister get all these clever ideas?"

"Hey, brother, there is a golden house in books. Of course, I saw it in books!"

Bai Qinghai: "What kind of business philosophy did you just talk about?"

"Of course!" Bai Qingyun nodded and took out several thick business books from his sleeve, including "Biographies of Merchants" and "Records of Food and Money"... These famous works that recorded many outstanding business achievements in ancient times suddenly appeared before his eyes.

Bai Qingyun also thoughtfully lit a candle and placed it on the table.

Bai Qinghai looked at Bai Qingyun deeply without saying much. He saw the work that would influence his life in the candlelight.

He picked up one book after another, as if he had found a treasure, but he didn't open it until the last book: "Salt and Iron Theory? The salt and iron of Dazhao are controlled by the court. What use is this book to me? Our family can't get involved in the salt and iron business."

Bai Qingyun squinted at him and said, "Brother, what's the difference between this and asking a general to only fight in battles and not read military books?"

"This book is about the debate over the salt and iron monopoly policy, reflecting the conflict of economic interests between merchants and government officials. It not only reflects the wisdom and balance of the superiors in formulating economic policies, but also provides experience for many economic issues."

"It is not possible to become a great scholar just by reading the Four Books and Five Classics. Similarly, it is not possible to be a salt and iron business just by reading this book!"

Bai Qinghai smiled shyly at this time, and his cheeks were slightly red under the candlelight: "Sister, it is my third brother who is not well-informed. Next time, I will read the book before asking questions."

Bai Qingyun chuckled: "Third brother, don't be ashamed to ask. It's just a question. There's no need to be so cautious."

"No...no, it's mainly because I feel that asking this question makes me seem a little too ignorant!" The boy's cheeks turned even redder.

"What do you mean by ignorance?" A handsome young man in blue clothes walked out of the darkness. When he approached the candlelight, it was not difficult to see that his face was somewhat similar to Bai Qinghai.

They are twins and the two most alike people in the family.

However, the family would not mistake them for each other because of their completely different personalities.

One is as calm as a wolf, the other is as cheerful as a rabbit.

"Second brother!" The two men saw who was coming and called out.

Bai Qinghu sat down and asked repeatedly: "What are you talking about? Why did I hear Lao San say that he is ignorant?"

As he asked, his eyes suddenly glanced at what was in Bai Qinghai's arms: "Third brother, what are you hiding? Take it out and let me see!"

Bai Qinghai quickly stood up and ran to the yard: "Second brother, please sit down for a while, I'm in a hurry to go to the toilet!"

As he said this, he held the baby in his arms and launched himself out like a cannonball.

Bai Qingyun looked at Bai Qinghai and asked, "Aren't you going to chase him, second brother?"

Bai Qinghai shook his head: "It's okay, he sleeps soundly at night, he will know what it is later."

"That thing was originally given to my third brother. Does my second brother want it?"
