    Chen Wanrong's thoughts moved very quickly. He thought about several thoughts in a row, and immediately came up with an idea. He put down the teacup in his hand, high-fived and laughed.  This smile without saying a word really made Li Qingquan confused. He looked at Chen Wanrong blankly like a two-foot-tall King Kong. After a while, he asked in confusion: "Wanrong, this  What's so funny? Doing business depends on whether you can make money. If you don't make money, you can't do anything no matter how good it is. Although your stuff is good, it's a business, so I can't lose money doing it."

    "The purpose of doing business is to make money. Mr. Li's words are quite remarkable!" Chen Wanrong praised a little, then changed the subject and asked: "Old man, do you know why I am laughing?"

    Li Qingquan looked at Chen Wanrong carefully. He was still shrewd, but a little disdainful. He seemed to look down on himself. He couldn't help but feel strange. He was obviously a prominent figure in Luojiadian, but he, a mud-legged person, didn't take him seriously.  , this is too belittling.  After another inspection, Chen Wanrong's disdain was not contempt for him, but ridicule. He couldn't figure it out for a while, so he had to ask: "May I ask why Wanrong is laughing?"

    Chen Wanrong¡¯s face straightened and he said solemnly: ¡°I was laughing at the old man. He clearly knows that doing business is to make money, but he doesn¡¯t make any money. Isn¡¯t it a pity?¡±

    Li Qingquan disapproved of these words. He twitched the corner of his mouth slightly with a bit of contempt and said with a smile: "Wanrong, I can understand your mood. But you have to stand in my place and think about it. One hundred yuan per pound  If I invest more than 100 or 200 guan a month, I can only earn 30 or 20 guan, which is not cost-effective. This leather is very good, but at most it costs 10%, so what else can it do?"

    Chen Wanrong changed the topic and asked: "Excuse me, old man, what is the most popular in Chang'an?"

    "Why do you ask for this?" Li Qingquan didn't know what Chen Wanrong meant, so he asked in confusion. He rolled his eyes and thought for a while: "To put it bluntly, Chang'an has the most people. People are coming and going, bustling and shoulder to shoulder.  Shoulders and heels hit heels, even if I take a breath, the hot breath will be sprayed on my little wife¡¯s face.¡±

    Chang'an was the first metropolis with a population of one million in human history, and the Tang Dynasty was the golden age of Chang'an. It was almost ten times the size of Xi'an today, six times the size of Constantinople, and the size of Baghdad that appeared later.  No matter how old six are, there are the most people. This couldn't be more true.

    He didn¡¯t understand what Chen Wanrong meant. After hearing his answer that was not what he asked, Chen Wanrong couldn¡¯t help but laugh or cry, and reminded him: ¡°The old man is right, Chang¡¯an has the most people. May I ask, old man, what kind of people have the most people in Chang¡¯an?¡±

    Men and women are about the same. The most correct answer is that there are slightly more men. Li Qingquan originally wanted to answer this, but then he thought that Chen Wanrong would never be so bored as to ask about the number of men and women in Chang'an, feeling his belly.  , mused: "If you want to say more, Chang'an has the most officials, much more than Yangzhou and Luoyang."

    Yangzhou and Luoyang were metropolises in the Tang Dynasty. They were very prosperous and had a large population.  Chang'an was the capital of the Tang Dynasty, and naturally there were more officials than any other city. Although these words were not perfect, they were close to Chen Wanrong's meaning, and he reminded him: "What the old man said is extremely true, there are more officials in Chang'an than anywhere else.  After this, how many people are there?¡±

    "Rich businessman!" Li Qingquan blinked his eyes, thought for a moment, then slapped his thigh, answered in a blurt, and then asked strangely: "Wanrong, you suddenly mentioned high officials and dignitaries, what are the rich businessmen doing?"

    Even if he didn't ask like this, Chen Wanrong would guide him in this direction and said with a smile: "Old man, what I mean is that you can do business with these people. The dignitaries, the wealthy businessmen, they have a lot of money, as long as they have good  He will definitely buy something.¡±

    "They don't love money, they love face! They can spend a lot of money to buy face." Li Qingquan commented on the virtues of these people with a bit of regret: "But, where can I find what they need?  No matter how good my leather is, making a pair of boots is worth at most ten thousand dollars. How much money can I make? Not to mention, I am just a leather maker, not a boot maker. The majority of the money is made by others, and I only make some scrap money.  .¡±

    Rich people don¡¯t care about money, they care about face. This is a truth that has never changed through the ages and is the same today!

    Chen Wanrong reminded him again: "Old man, what you said makes sense. You who make leather will definitely not make more money than those who make boots. However, there is one thing that is valuable, and your current skills can be used. You  You don¡¯t have to invest a penny, but you can make a lot of money.¡±

    "Wanrong, what is it? Tell me quickly!" Li Qingquan's eyes widened, he stood up suddenly, clenched his right hand into a fist and slammed it on the table with a bang, his eyes blinked red with excitement: "Wanrong  , you mean making fur?"

    "Exactly!" Chen Wanrong was very sure.

    Fur clothing is actually made of hairy skin processed into leather, of course.The hair on the surface must not fall off, and must be soft, comfortable, and intact. The technical requirements are just a little more than that of leather making.  However, its value is different. A good fox fur is worth thousands of taels of silver. You don¡¯t need to make too much in a lifetime. Just make three or five pieces and you can use it for a lifetime.

    Li Qingquan's existing conditions can be used to make fur. With Chen Wanrong's tanning agent, the quality of the processed leather is of high quality. If the fur is made and sent to Chang'an, the high-ranking officials, dignitaries, and wealthy businessmen will not cut it.  Are you rushing to buy it?  The rich people concentrated in Chang'an are the best in the world. Li Qingquan is dizzy just thinking about how big the market is.

    It¡¯s not like Li Qingquan has never done fur making before. Technically, he can¡¯t make good leather.  Now that Chen Wanrong's tanning agent is available, the leather produced is definitely of the highest quality, and the "money" will be endless. Li Qingquan was so excited that he couldn't help but knock his forehead, several times in a row, making a banging sound.  , complaining to himself: "What have I done? Didn't I even think of this? Mr. Zheng has always wanted to make fur clothes, but he didn't have good leather, so he kept putting off the matter."

    To suppress his excitement, Li Qingquan patted the table and said without saying a word: "Wanrong, one hundred cents is one hundred cents. I want one hundred catties first."

    ¡°Before, I still refused to take it, but now I am rushing to get it. This change is really big enough.

    Chen Wanrong¡¯s tanning agent is extremely effective. Although one hundred copper coins is very expensive, it is definitely worth it.  The fur coats made with this tanning agent will definitely sell well. Li Qingquan is like digging a gold mine.  If he does well, his life savings will only be enough in one or two years. How can he not be happy?

    ¡°If he knew that Chen Wanrong had a more profitable idea that he hadn¡¯t told him about, he would definitely faint from anger.  Chen Wanrong's first idea was to ask Li Qingquan to make handbags.  Handbags are widely loved by women in modern society. As long as you are a woman, no matter whether you are beautiful, ugly, rich or poor, you must carry one on your shoulder when you go out. What would have happened if this thing had been made in the Tang Dynasty?

    The bags that women in ancient times carried with them were called sachets and purses. They were too small and could hold too few things. Handbags were different, with different models, so you could choose one according to your own preferences.  Women have more private matters than men and have more utensils. Having a handbag will provide women with great convenience.

    In the Tang Dynasty, the people were wealthy and there was no shortage of money. In addition, women in the Tang Dynasty had a high social status and had many more opportunities to appear in public than during the Song, Ming and Qing Dynasties. It is too exaggerated to say that everyone has one handbag, at least the market space will be infinitely broad.

    If this were the case, ancient women would no longer have to wrap their things in a piece of cloth when going out. They would put it on their shoulders or hang it on their arms, just like those who traveled around the world.  Instead, putting money, rouge, gouache, and some private items for women in your handbag will become a sight in the Tang Dynasty.

    Not to mention that after women¡¯s handbags, there are also handbags for men. Both men and women use bags. The ancient treasure ¡°treasure bag¡± has to be scrapped.

    The reason why Chen Wanrong did not tell Li Qingquan about this idea was because the prospect was much broader than that of making fur. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a trump card. The business has not been stable yet. It is very unfair to play the trump card first.  Wisely, that's why Chen Wanrong came up with the idea to ask Li Qingquan to make furs instead of leather bags.

    It only costs a hundred kilograms. I¡¯m so sorry for my golden idea. Chen Wanrong smiled slightly and was ready to seize the opportunity to promote sales.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
