FARM GIRL TURNS EVERYTHING AROUND: SLY HUSBAND, LET'S FARM

Chapter 844: Chapter 844 Discussing Business Again_1

After descending, he couldn’t help but give Qiao Xiaomai a thumbs up again.

In this world, there actually existed such a marvelous thing; those dozens of winters before had been lived in vain!

“Tell me, how much for the prescription?”

Having inspected the item, it was now time to talk about the price.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Xiaomai turned her head towards Tong Sanlang, “How many people do we have in Daqi again?”

“Fifty million.”

…

“The Jiwei Residence has branches in every Prefecture City, right?” Qiao Xiaomai asked again.

Tong Sanlang nodded.

Shopkeeper He sat on the side, watching the back-and-forth between Qiao Xiaomai and Tong Sanlang; he suddenly felt as if a little deer was prancing in his heart, causing quite a stir.

She was clearly gearing up to make an outrageous demand.

Sure enough, the next second, Qiao Xiaomai began to count on her fingers, “Let’s say there are twenty people to a household, and one out of every ten households builds a heated bed. I’ll charge five hundred copper coins for each heated bed, which means, for two hundred people, I’ll earn five hundred wen.”

“However, Huai’an County isn’t included in this, with its population of over thirty thousand, and Bailu Town also has a population of over thirty thousand. All in all, let’s round it up to a neat hundred thousand.”

“Additionally, there are some extremely impoverished areas that we will also exclude, let’s count that as five million people.”

“Then there are those who don’t like heated beds and don’t plan to use them; we can count that as another five million people.”

“So, that leaves thirty-nine million nine hundred ninety-nine thousand people after subtracting one hundred and ten million from fifty million.”

“Dividing that number by two hundred, it comes to roughly twenty million. If one person is five hundred wen, then for twenty million people, it comes to ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and some-odd taels. For the sake of family, let’s just round it up to a hundred thousand taels.”

Shopkeeper He “…”

He looked at Qiao Xiaomai with a bewildered expression, completely flabbergasted.

She had just calculated a number in the tens of millions using mental arithmetic?

Even he would have to spend some time working it out with an abacus!

She used to be a village girl who couldn’t recognize a single character, and it hadn’t been long since she married into the Tong family. Her educational level had progressed by leaps and bounds!

Seeing Shopkeeper He’s confused look, Qiao Xiaomai couldn’t help but wave her hand in front of him, “Shopkeeper He, it’s only a hundred thousand taels. Didn’t get scared silly, did you?”

Shopkeeper He “…”

He gazed at Qiao Xiaomai with mingled feelings and sighed quietly to himself.

“I’m admiring the young lady’s ability to make money.”

No sooner had forty thousand taels entered his purse than another hundred thousand were about to enter.

She truly was the reincarnation of the Wealth God.

“Ah, but I didn’t figure this out by myself. It was something my Sanlang, grandfather, and father, the four of us, came up with together,” Qiao Xiaomai said.

“After all, this silver has to be evenly shared between the four of us.”

Upon hearing this, Shopkeeper He chuckled lightly.

Split evenly?

They’re all one family; why bother splitting?

Regaining his composure, he put aside these superficial remarks and said, “Alright, I’ll write to the senior management as soon as I get back. As soon as I have their reply, I’ll come over immediately.”

“Good,” Qiao Xiaomai nodded, “But there’s one thing I must remind you and the owner behind you—that the most important market for this heated bed is still among the vast community of farmers. If the price is too high, and the farmers can’t afford it, we might not be able to earn back those one hundred thousand taels.”

Out of fifty million people, there are not many nobles.

The majority are the rural farmers; they are the main force behind the use of heated beds.

If this market is lost, then Jiwei Residence might end up losing money on this business deal.

What’s more, farmers already have a hard enough life. She would feel guilty about skimming off the top from them.
