Don't make trouble, let's build infrastructure!

Although the 1 taels of blueprints are expensive, Huang Tai is optimistic about the bicycle market, and...he gave the other two a look. He can buy the blueprints alone. When the time comes, ask these two people to return him some money. can be shared.

The other two merchants understood, so they were no longer in a hurry to buy, and asked some questions about bicycles, which were not important.

Tong Ran explained and said, "Don't you two also buy a blueprint?"

The two waved their hands and said with a guilty conscience: "No, no, no."

One of them subconsciously glanced at Huang Tai, very briefly, but was caught by Tong Ran.He said: "Don't even think about sharing blueprints or anything. The other parts on this bicycle are easy to talk about, but the spokes on this wheel must be made of steel. I, Jinhejian, have the steelmaking process in the world. I don't buy blueprints." Man, I will not supply him."

The small plan of the two of them was revealed, and their faces turned red immediately.

Qiu Ming interjected, "Really?" He didn't have enough money, so he also wanted to buy second-hand from Huang Tai, but Tong Ran blocked his way with a word.

Tong Ran: "Of course. You can try other materials. If you can find a material that is stronger and more resilient than my steel, I will lose."

The little tiger looked up at Tong Ran from his arms, and the little attendant's chin was raised a little higher than usual, which was obvious from its angle.After the chin is raised, the neck draws a curve, which is very beautiful.

Unlike the other two merchants, Qiu Ming didn't think it was annoying, his face didn't change, and he said directly: "It seems that I can only buy it from you, Brother Tong, but I don't have so much money now, so I wonder if Brother Tong can be accommodating." , let me pay later? I can pay the interest, just follow the last time, so that Brother Tong won’t suffer.”

"No." Tong Ran said.

Qiu Ming choked, Huang Tai and the others were still there, he had no choice but to put on airs of the Qiu family's young master, and only made one more request, but Tong Ran rejected it.

The other two followed Qiu Ming and proposed to buy the blueprints. Tong Ran agreed very readily, and even immediately called for someone to bring over the contract, six copies in six copies, obviously prepared long ago.

Huang Tai and the others wanted to argue about the payment date, but at this moment someone came to report: "The people from the Fan family have arrived."

Huang Tai hurriedly wrote and signed, and the other two signed as well, saying at the same time: "Master Tong, please don't mention this to anyone in the Fan family."

"Don't worry." Tong Ran smiled, put away the three contracts that belonged to him, and said goodbye to them.

Yuan San accompanied Tong Ran to the front hall to meet Fan's steward. He wanted to speak up several times on the way, but he gave up.

Lying in Tong Ran's arms, the little tiger saw Yuan San's actions clearly.It can guess without thinking, Yuan San is probably the same as it, dissatisfied with Tong Ran's sending out the bicycle business.Fan's is the property under its name, why does Tong Ran have good deeds and take advantage of outsiders?

The little tiger kicked Tong Ran.

"Zai Zai, kick me!" Tong Ran said.

"Wow!" the little tiger roared, but instead of targeting Tong Ran, he aimed at Yuan San.

Yuan Sanzheng was distracted, and was suddenly yelled at by the little tiger, a little dazed.

Only then did Tong Ran notice that something was wrong with Yuan San who was following him, and asked, "Brother Yuan San, what's wrong with you?"

"No," Yuan San blurted out, paused, and then said again, "This subordinate shouldn't talk too much about this, but I'm a little confused..."

Yuan San still didn't say it, but Tong Ran guessed it, and asked him, "You want to ask me why I didn't sell the blueprint to Fan?"

Yuan San nodded, and said with a simple smile, "Your Excellency, you can see it."

Tong Ran: "It's very simple, it's not cost-effective, and the price/performance ratio is too low."

From time to time, Tong Ran would come up with words that Yuan San didn't understand, and he was used to them. He had never heard of the word cost-effective, but he understood that it was not worth it.Then he asked, "Why isn't it worthwhile?"

Tong Ran: "Fan's is too big and has many semicolons. If I sell them the blueprints, then the whole world will be Fan's bicycles. How can anyone be willing to buy blueprints from me?"

Yuan San understood now.If Tong Ran gave Fan the drawings, he could only sell them once. Other merchants like Huang Tai would not be willing to pay high prices for the drawings and compete with Fan.And if you don't sell it to Fan's, and sell it directly to Huang Tai, a firm with some strength, but not a top-notch one, you can still sell a lot of copies.

Huang Tai and the others who came this time at most occupied the markets of North Shanlin Road, Lingxi Road and a part of Longyou and Dunan, and the other few roads could not be radiated with their strength, that is to say, as long as there is no Fan's With the intervention of such a big company, Tong Ran can sell a few more copies, which is probably the reason why he refused to lend money to Qiu Ming just now.

The little tiger also understood, and wagged his tail. Fortunately, the few merchants just now were grateful to Dade, but he had no intention of selling the blueprint to Fan at all.

He is now an official of the fifth rank. Is it because the salary I give is not enough, or is there a lack of rewards?To go to such troubles.The little tiger couldn't help feeling a little sour.

Tong Ran touched the little tiger's hairy head and said: "If you sell a few more copies of the drawings, you can get more money. I want to build a garden for Zai Zai. It's okay to use the government office for the place, but it's better to pay for the money yourself. Earn some money to make the yard more beautiful for it."

"Woo..." The little tiger was about to yell at him, but was stunned when he heard these words.

Did he put all this thought into making money to build a yard for himself?

Until Tong Ran entered the main hall and saw Cang Ping, the little tiger didn't recover.

Cang Ping said: "Master Tong, long time no see."

Tong Ran replied: "Isn't the shopkeeper Cang in charge of the Yanwu Pavilion in Zhuoyang Mansion? How can he know civil engineering?"

Cang Ping smiled: "I know a little bit of superficiality, and I dare not tease it in front of Mr. Tong."

Cang Ping came this time with a heavy responsibility.

Tong Ran wants to relocate Heishi Sixth Village and turn it into a coal mine.So many people need to move, houses are essential, Tong Ran’s accustomed workers have all been recruited to build roads, and it will take time and effort to recruit new ones, so Tong Ran communicated with Fan Heng and agreed to let Fan Heng Shi came to contract the demolition project.

Fan Heng had already negotiated the price with Tong Ran, it was very good, and Cang Ping was shocked when he found out.

To say that Mr. Tong seems to be a man with a clean sleeve, and he just took over the Jinhe prison, but he didn't expect that the prison seems to be very full.

After they finished talking, Cang Ping raised his mouth jokingly.Tong Ran gave him a strange look and said, "Didn't the shopkeeper Cang hear?"

Cang Ping: "What did you hear?"

Tong Ran: "After I came, I ransacked the former inspector's house, as well as several wealthy businessmen's. All the money was confiscated into the prison treasury. If there is money, apart from the national treasury, probably my Jinhe prison is the only one."

At this mention, Cang Ping remembered that he seemed to have heard someone mention it in his busy schedule.

At that time, the servants were dancing and dancing to report to him, but now hearing Tong Ran's calm words, Cang Ping shivered suddenly.

The demolition was settled, and after Cang Ping was sent away, the deposit from Huang Tai and others was also delivered.

The semicolons of several people are not far from here, and a few days later, all the remaining money was moved into Tong Ran's mansion.Tong Ran gave the three copies of his design drawing in triplicate.

The blueprints exchanged for tens of thousands of taels of gold are precious, Huang Tai's hands trembled a little, and he stuffed them carefully into his bosom.

In addition to the steel that Tong Ran mentioned, iron is also used for the bicycle body. Since Jin Hejian made this, Huang Tai and the others bought it directly from Tong Ran.Qiu Ming was depressed about the bicycle for two days, and he didn't regain his energy until it was time to buy iron.

Tong Ran was also very interesting, and the price he gave was quite favorable. Qiu Ming bought cheap iron and couldn't wait to run back to Jiangliu.He wanted to see if his clan brother could find cheaper and stronger cast iron than Tong Ran's.

Afterwards, Huang Tai and the others also left one after another, and the surveillance room became quiet again.

You Yang is responsible for the security of the mansion and patrols every day.

One day, when he was patrolling the main road west of the backyard, he saw several big men in civilian clothes led by the doorman, so he hurriedly stepped forward to stop him.

You Yang: "What do you do?"

Menzi was a little afraid of You Yang, cupped his hands and said: "Your Excellency, you are a worker who came to repair the yard."

courtyard?You Yang frowned, the inspectors were not satisfied with the residence at all, and there was no need to repair the yard.

Sui said: "Take someone to wait outside, I'll go find Master Tong."

"This..." This person was called by Master Tong. Menzi wanted to speak, but he was really afraid of You Yang, so he couldn't speak.

"Master Tiger!" The boy's loud voice came.

A ball of things fell, You Yang's body flickered, and he subconsciously drew his sword.

Menzi and those workers were all in a cold sweat.

"Wow!" The little tiger roared at You Yang, these are here to repair the yard for it, and You Yang dared to stop him if he had the guts of a leopard.

"Master Tiger." Dongqing ran over panting.Just now he was basking in the sun with the little tiger in the main courtyard. For some reason, it got up and ran wildly, jumped on the eaves and ran towards the west courtyard. Dongqing rushed over in a hurry, but saw Captain You pulled out his knife.

Dongqing: "Lieutenant, don't hurt Master Hu!" He ran up quickly, wanting to hug the little tiger away, but he was afraid of You Yang's profit, and also afraid of the little tiger's sharp claws.

You Yang saw who was coming, and naturally put away the knife.

He was ordered by His Majesty to protect Master Tong's safety, and he has always been just a little milk tiger, so he will not make things difficult for it.

"Take them outside, I'll see Master Tong." You Yang said again.

"Yes, yes." Menzi bent down to agree.

"Wow—" the little tiger roared.

You Yang didn't even give it a look.

"Zai Zai." But he didn't want to, Tong Ran's voice suddenly sounded from behind, he picked up the little tiger, and asked You Yang, "Is Captain You looking for me?"

You Yang didn't expect Tong Ran to be in the west courtyard, so he hurriedly turned around to salute and said, "These people said they were workers you called, and my subordinates haven't heard that there is any place in the mansion that needs to be started, so I want to ask you to confirm."

Tong Ran: "So it's this one. They were sent by the Fan family to repair my yard."

Is it really a yard?

You Yangdao: "My lord, forgive me, let me be more talkative, which courtyard are you going to repair? I haven't heard of any problems in the courtyard in the mansion."

Tong Ran smiled: "There are two courtyards facing north and south at the back of the west courtyard. I think it's good. I plan to push down the walls of the houses inside and build a courtyard for Zai Zai."

The little tiger raised its tail and raised its head proudly.

You Yang: "..."

The author has something to say: You Yang: What can I say?Can't compare, can't compare, people are better than tigers, and people are mad.

Second watch~ It's another day when people are not as good as tigers.

Thank you for your support, okay!
