Chapter 45 caused the Marquis of Sinan to lose everything.
At that moment, Steward Cui recognized Su Luo!
He was utterly shocked. Wasn't this the Marquis's illegitimate son?! That good-for-nothing!
Back then, in order to curry favor with the First Madam, he even had his men beat up Su Luo!
At that time, he couldn't be bothered to even glance at Su Luo!
Because he knew that given the First Madam's personality, Su Luo definitely wouldn't live long!
But now, Su Luo has transformed into a so-called "Young Master Luo" and appeared before him...
and many more!
Young Master Luo?!
Manager Cui suddenly understood everything, staring at Su Luo, "You, you..."
Su Luo smiled and said, "What? You recognize me?"
"Unfortunately, it's too late!"
"Originally, I didn't want to tell you who I am, but after thinking about it, since you're going to die anyway, I might as well let you die knowing why!"
"Also, walk slowly on the road to the underworld, because soon your first wife... will also be on the way with you, and you can continue to be a dog!"
Having said that, Su Luo stood up, and the long sword in his hand fell naturally!
"don't want……"
Manager Cui's screams came to an abrupt halt; a deep gash had appeared on his neck!
Even until his death, his eyes remained wide open, filled with disbelief!
Don't rest your eyes!
Manager Cui never imagined that he would die like this one day...
He died at the hands of Tan Xing and Su Luo!
"Young Master Luo!"
Tan Xing, panting heavily, looked at Su Luo, his voice trembling with excitement: "We...we did it!"
"Steward Cui is dead. As long as I take the snowflake salt back now, and as long as I can see the Marquis, he definitely won't investigate..."
Su Luo nodded upon hearing this and said, "Actually, I brought seven thousand catties of snowflake salt this time!"
"You can give the Marquis five thousand catties first, and then another two thousand catties tomorrow..."
"Because tomorrow is the birthday of your Marquis's eldest son, isn't it? Consider this a gift to him!"
Su Luo and Steward Cui had been talking very quietly, so Tan Xing didn't know that this young master Luo was their Marquis's illegitimate son.
Upon hearing this, Tan Xing's eyes lit up, and he nodded repeatedly: "Good, Young Master Luo, you've thought it through very carefully..."
"However, I also have one request!"
Su Luo said, "Before, I talked to you about three taels of silver per catty of snowflake salt, but the price is different now!"
After all, Steward Cui was willing to accept five taels of silver per catty!
This shows that there is still a profit margin involved; otherwise, how could Manager Cui take kickbacks?!
If Tan Xing takes kickbacks, does that mean someone as greedy as Manager Cui won't?!
Tan Xing gritted his teeth and said, "I can make the decision on the seven thousand catties of snowflake salt. I will give you a total of forty thousand taels of silver in cash, Young Master Luo!"
"This is all the cash that Sinan Trading Company has in Yunhai Town. We hope Young Master Luo can understand..."
Su Luo nodded and agreed.
"it is good!"
Tan Xing added, "And afterwards, I can buy your Snowflake Salt from Young Master Luo at a price of five and a half ounces per pound!"
"As long as you, Young Master Luo, can agree to supply at least three thousand catties of snowflake salt every month, then everything is negotiable!"
He has great ambitions. As long as Su Luo can provide 3,000 catties of snowflake salt every month, the snowflake salt can be sold out of Yunhai Town!
Then he will be able to gain the favor of the Marquis of Sinan in the shortest possible time!
Thinking of this, a cold glint flashed in Tan Xing's eyes. He had just killed Manager Cui out of revenge, and also to show Su Luo his determination...
But wasn't that also a way to lower Su Luo's guard?!
Once I can one day replace Steward Cui, Su Luo wants to continue to control me? Dream on!
Su Luo readily agreed and then arranged for people to go to the Sinan Trading Company to collect all the silver.
Tan Xing, on the other hand, took 5,000 catties of snowflake salt to the residence of the Marquis of Sinan.
Looking at the forty thousand taels of silver in front of him, Zhang Daqiang was so shocked that he couldn't speak. "Young master, you've already earned forty thousand taels?!"
"This, this... it's just some salt, can it really cost this much?!"
Su Luo chuckled, "Things are valued for their scarcity. Is salt valuable? Yes, but the reputation is even more valuable!"
"Snowflake salt of this quality is enough to be branded as tribute salt. If sold privately, it would definitely be sought after by high-ranking officials and nobles..."
"If there are no unforeseen circumstances, seven thousand catties of snowflake salt can bring at least double the profit to the Marquis of Sinan's mansion!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Daqiang was even more stunned. Double the profit?!
In other words, 7,000 catties of snowflake salt can eventually be sold for more than 80,000 taels?!
So, a pound of salt is more expensive than a pound of silver?!
(In ancient times, one jin was generally sixteen liang, but for the sake of conversion, we will use one jin and ten liang here.)
Is this the spending power of the wealthy and powerful?!
Immediately, Zhang Daqiang keenly noticed the words in Su Luo's words: "An accident? Young master, what kind of accident could it be?!"
Su Luo laughed heartily and said, "We are the accident!"
"I will make sure the Su family loses all of their 40,000 taels!"
"Alright, take this silver back to the village first... Uncle Tiger, let's go to the Heavenly Fortune Merchant Guild!"
Ye Hu and the others emerged from the forest and were greatly shocked to see 40,000 taels of silver. They only came to their senses after hearing this.
Old Man Shen frowned first and said, "Young Master, such a big thing has happened, and you still want to go back to Yunhai Town?!"
"Aren't you afraid...?"
Su Luo waved his hand and said, "What's there to be afraid of? Believe me or not, even if I stood in front of Marquis Sinan, he wouldn't recognize me!"
"Besides, the Sinan Trading Company matter is still missing the most crucial step, so of course I have to step in!"
It wasn't that Su Luo didn't trust Ye Hu and Shen Laosan, it's just that there were some things Su Luo felt he had to handle himself!
In order to prevent any accidents from happening!
Hearing Su Luo's self-deprecating tone, Ye Hu and Shen Laosan exchanged a glance, both somewhat astonished.
The Marquis of Sinan didn't even recognize Su Luo?!
How could this be? Although he is an illegitimate child... Su Luo is indeed the son of Marquis Sinan!
Even if you hate someone, you shouldn't be so disgusted that you can't even recognize them!
Su Luo, Ye Hu, Shen Laosan, and others went to the Tianyun Chamber of Commerce.
Before they even got close, they saw a figure dressed in brocade robes waiting at the door, his face full of eagerness.
Upon seeing Su Luo and the others come up, Ye Changfeng immediately went up to them and said with a smile, "You're back?"
"Why are you leaving in such a hurry? Did something happen? Do you need the help of my Heavenly Fortune Chamber of Commerce?!"
"Since you all have placed such trust in my Tianyun Chamber of Commerce, I will certainly not let you down!"
Su Luo was stunned and looked at Shen Laosan, who was also completely bewildered. Who was this young master?!
And why are the people from the Tianyun Chamber of Commerce so enthusiastic?!
"I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Ye Changfeng, and I'm from the Tianyun Chamber of Commerce!"
Ye Changfeng said with a smile, "I heard that you have a big business deal to do with our Tianyun Chamber of Commerce, so I came to wait for you!"
People of the Ye family!
Su Luo immediately realized that the Heavenly Fortune Chamber of Commerce was founded by the Ye family!
Su Luo calmly replied, "Young Master Ye, you can just call me Su Luo!"
"It's a big deal, but I have some requirements..."
Ye Changfeng led Su Luo into the room where the Tianyun Chamber of Commerce held meetings. Hearing this, he raised an eyebrow slightly, but still asked with a smile, "What are your requirements?!"
Su Luo pointed to the two thousand catties of refined salt in the corner, "I demand that this refined salt be issued tonight!"
The Sinan Trading Company had purchased 7,000 catties of snowflake salt and received 40,000 taels of silver in return. Su Luo had no intention of continuing the pretense with them...
He's going to kill him!
A glint of light flashed in Su Luo's eyes as he thought to himself, "Tomorrow is Su Xuan's birthday?!"
"Hehe, in a sense, Su Xuan is like my older brother, right? If I remember correctly, his fiefdom should be the most prosperous place in the entire Linshui Prefecture, right?!"
"Such a good start, and you've only earned eight thousand taels in two years? Heh, what a foolish brother you are... But I hope you'll like the gift I gave you!"
