The windfall of night grass is the most irresistible to chew.

Because it's easy to come, and it's easy to go.

Laishun had a huge sum of money in hand, and originally thought that he would achieve a great career from now on, or achieve his small goals as soon as possible.

Unexpectedly, after only half a day of shopping in Fenggong Market, sixty-seven taels of silver disappeared.

From the very beginning of its establishment, Fenggong Market was designed to supply the daily needs of the Duke's government. As the saying goes, "What is good from above is bound to be better by the people below." Over the years, it has developed a business chain specifically for the entertainment of wealthy and idle people.

.

Although Laishun is not considered a wealthy and idle person, facts and experience have proved that modern people who have been influenced by various hand-chopping festivals are not inferior to the ancient dandies in the business of throwing coins.

After taking stock, except for a jar of craft rice wine, which can be said to be good value for money, the rest are all novel and exquisite but useless gadgets.

In view of this, Laishun had no choice but to quietly reduce the number of times he went out - at least he did not dare to go to Fenggong City anymore.

Of course, besides throwing away coins, he didn't do anything serious these days.

Through various insinuations, he has figured out why the tires in Daxia are still solid instead of inflated.

But it turns out that before the founding of the Xia Kingdom, there were no rubber trees at all in Daxia and even for thousands of miles around.

It wasn't until the beginning of Xia Taizu's accession to the throne that he sent people to buy rubber tree species from foreign barbarians with huge sums of money. This was the first time the people of Xia heard about this thing.

But to truly see it with our own eyes, we had to wait until six years later, when Taizu planned to build rubber plantations along the southeast coast and issued various preferential policies.

And then……

Before the rubber tree could grow, Taizu Xia died.

Not to mention that pneumatic tires were not invented in time, even the solid tires used today were slowly discovered by later generations.

Talking for a long time...

In fact, it means the same thing, this business can be done!

I dare not say more - after all, it is not difficult to imitate - it should not be a problem to make the first pot of gold with the first-mover advantage.

So after making up his mind, Laishun started the 'research and development' work with great enthusiasm.

Although rubber water pipes are not as popular as solid tires in Daxia, they are not difficult to buy. It is said that as long as they are heated first and then connected, the original prototype of pneumatic tires can be assembled.

So Laishun originally thought that the valve would be the first difficulty he encountered.

But after several attempts, he found that things were not as simple as he thought.

The walls of ready-made rubber tubes on the market are generally thick and brittle, making them troublesome to heat. They are also prone to local cracks after cooling.

So I tried several times, but all ended in failure.

What makes Laishun even more frustrated is that through the feedback he received from these experiments, he found that even if he barely succeeded, the pneumatic tires he made might not be practical.

At least in the northern winter, it has no practicality!

Something that is already brittle, if blown by the strong cold wind, is basically equivalent to a time bomb. Every time it is squeezed and deformed by external force, it may cause a tire blowout.

Or, find a more malleable material.

Or, take it to the south and sell it.

But neither of these two solutions can be achieved by Shun Na!

But he was not willing to give up just yet.

It's clear that the future is promising and a lot of energy has been invested, so how could it just give up halfway?

After much deliberation, I had no choice but to seek help from the cheap man.

…………

Just after dinner that day, Laishun locked the door of the main room and placed a few "semi-finished products" in front of his parents.

"in this case."

After hearing the cause and effect, Lai Wang looked at the defective products that were in extremely poor condition, and asked expressionlessly: "You have been in a daze these past few days. You have been making trouble in the house all day just to get some car tires."

?”

"It's a pneumatic tire!"

Lai said confidently: "Dad, please believe me. As long as this thing is completed, it will definitely be a good business that can make you rich!"

Seeing that it was cheap, I was noncommittal, so he quickly added: "Not only can this thing reduce the bumps, it can also be used to transport more and heavier things. As long as it is built, there will be no worries about selling it!"

Mrs. Xu, who was standing aside, saw her son frothing at the mouth. She subconsciously tightened her handkerchief and said to her husband: "His father, this matter..."

Lai Wang raised his hand, interrupted Xu's words, and then stared at his son again and asked: "You mean, our family will get this thing out and sell it outside?"

"That's pretty much what it means."

Laishun spread his hands: "I originally wanted to get a sample first, and then..."

"Confused!"

Lai Wang suddenly slapped the case and stood up, leaning forward like a tiger and widening his eyes: "Who do you think you are? Who do you think our family is?! It's nothing to say that we want to buy some real estate and a few acres of thin farmland.

"Even if we secretly invest in a few shops, it's still okay - but how can our family be able to touch such an eye-catching independent business?!"

As he said that, he raised his hand and pointed to the door: "I'm afraid that as soon as you sell the things, our house will be ransacked! Not to mention that the money you earned will be difficult to protect, and you will not be regarded as betraying the master.

Killing them on the spot is considered as a sign of good deeds from our ancestors!"

Although Lai Shun was caught off guard by the sudden outburst of Mr. Cheap, Lai Shun still had the soul of an adult in his body, so he was not so frightened that he could not speak.

At that moment, I couldn't help but question: "I didn't steal or rob. I made money by my own skills. How come..."

Halfway through, I saw that not only did I have a serious look on my face, but even my mother, Mrs. Xu, was very solemn, I came to know that what I just said was definitely not a joke.

This evil old society, this cannibalistic slavery!

Laishun was so angry that he couldn't help crying and complaining from the bottom of his heart.

But he does not have the consciousness of a revolutionary martyr, let alone want to overthrow a mountain. If he gains power in the future, he will most likely just make slaves and maids with joy, fully demonstrating his corrupt and depraved nature.

But that's all for later.

At least for now, Laishun is full of resentment towards the exploiting class.

Facing his parents' serious gazes, he argued nonchalantly: "This thing is actually not as profitable as you think. After our family finishes drinking the first soup, there will definitely be copycats in the future."

"Then it shouldn't be like this!"

Mrs. Xu said anxiously: "So what if I can earn a few hundred taels of silver? Our family is not short of..."

"cough!"

The cheap man coughed dryly and glanced at her, and Mrs. Xu reluctantly stopped talking.

But listening to this, Laijia actually has a rich family, otherwise how dare he not take hundreds of taels of silver into his eyes?

This made Laishun even more frustrated.

My parents are rich in wealth, but they are still slaves in the Rongguo Mansion. In a sense, this also means that the cost of 'buying out' the country is much higher than I expected.

However, the road of self-employment was rejected by the cheap man again.

He was frustrated for a moment, silently picked up the broken water pipes, stood up and said, "I understand, just pretend I didn't say anything just now."

Turning around and about to go back to the West Room, Lai Wang suddenly shouted: "Come back!"

He turned around in surprise, and heard the cheap man say: "I didn't say it couldn't be done."

Lai Shun couldn't help but be surprised.

But the attitude of Mr. Cheap is becoming more and more determined: "If this thing can really have many benefits, then as long as we change the approach, there will be a lot of potential for this matter!"

"How to do it?"

"Report this to Second Grandma!"

Lai Wang left the square table, paced back and forth in the living room, and generously planned: "Since the second grandma took charge of the business, it seems that it is cooking with fire and oil, but in fact, there is leakage everywhere, and the deficit is getting bigger and bigger every year!"

"In order to maintain her dignity, she even had to take other people's monthly money to lend money outside - if she could provide an honest way to make money at this time, the second mistress would definitely feel like she had found a treasure, and then she would do her best to promote it!"

"With the Duke's Mansion in the north and Wang Taiwei in the south, coupled with the Xue family's financial resources and sales, this business may not be a stand-alone business!"

"At that time, our family, as the initiator, can naturally participate on behalf of my second wife and share some long-term benefits."

"And as a father, I can take a step forward in the palace. Not to mention competing with Lai Da, at least I will no longer be weaker than Lin Zhixiao and Wu Xindeng!"

This impassioned tirade completely stunned Lai Shun.

In his mind, the cheap man is a typical example of someone who has no ambition and is willing to degenerate. Who would have thought that there is such a pattern!

but……

Although this plan of my own has gained both face and respect, it is completely contrary to my idea of ​​deportation.

Not to mention working side by side with Lin Zhixiao and Wu Xindeng, so what if you can replace the Lai family? Don't you have to rely on several generations of hard work to win the grace of resigning?

The higher the status, the harder it is to escape!

"Shun'er, these are all things for later."

At this time, Lai Wang stopped in front of his son and said with stern eyes: "The most important thing now is to make the thing first, and then find a way to make people see its benefits at a glance!"

Without waiting for Lai Shun's reply, he said flatly: "You can go to the boiler room to report with peace of mind. I will take care of the materials. Remember, never mention this matter to outsiders!"

At this point, what else could Lai Shun say, and he could only say 'yes' in frustration.

Alas~

Shivering with cold air!
Chapter completed!
