Traveling through the starry sky just for you, I was a koi in ancient times

Chapter 132: Honest Business

The father took his daughter down from the chair. Wang Jinyi stood on tiptoe to reach her father and whispered in his ear:

"Daddy, I need to pee."

The father thought about it and blushed. He took his daughter out of the door, waved to the wet nurse and Zhu Yu who were standing under the eaves opposite the house, and took Wang Jinyi to the toilet.

This was a small courtyard, and the toilet was in a corner of the courtyard. It was a few small cubicles with buckets of different sizes. Wang Jinyi quickly finished and ran out, bumping into his brother.

"Hurry up, brother. I'm waiting for you."

"Jin'er, stand further away, walk further away!"

After a while, the two met at the stone basin for washing hands. Wang Wendong used a wooden spoon to scoop water from the wooden barrel for his sister to wash her hands. Then Wang Jinyi scooped water for her brother...

When the two little guys returned to the room hand in hand, the people on both ends of the long table were drinking tea and chatting leisurely, and some people were coming in and out. The two boys stood together, staring at Wang Jinyi.

This finally caused Wang Jinyi to have an illusion.

"Brother, am I really pretty? Look how they are staring at me."

Wang Wendong reluctantly tapped his sister's forehead.

"opinionated!"

"Hee hee hee……"

When Wang Jinyi went out and got on the carriage with a stack of newly-issued deeds, his grandfather and father stayed in the courtyard to accompany the clan leader while one went back to the school.

Brother Wang Wendong followed his sister out, and before getting on the bike, he repeatedly reminded her:

"Give it to mom first when you get home. Don't run around with it in your arms, and don't lose it again. Remember?"

Wang Jinyi nodded obediently.

"Yeah, I'm obedient."

Wang Wendong watched the carriage drive away before he and his servant went to the private school.

It was past noon when the carriage arrived at the door of the house. The mother carried her daughter out of the carriage and looked at Zhu Yu and the wet nurse, each holding a pile of manuscripts in their hands. She asked in confusion:

"Jin'er..."

"Mom, this is the contract, the contract for the carbon pencil cooperation. Mom, please help me take a look. If there is no problem, I will sign and seal it..." Wang Jinyi said happily.

The mother watched her daughter running into the yard and along the tree-lined avenue towards the second gate.

He quickly said, "Give everything to Qing'er and follow the young lady."

The wet nurse reacted the fastest. She stuffed the manuscript in her hand into Qing'er's hand and ran after the young lady, attracting everyone's attention.

That afternoon, Wang Jinyi specially called together a charcoal pencil duo.

"Tomorrow I will hand over the formula for making charcoal pencils to the clan. The clan will send a "material craftsman" to learn from you two. You two will each lead a team. We are responsible for the church!"

Wang Jinyi stopped and looked at Wen Bai and Wang Jindong, wanting to know how they would react. Wang Jindong (Wang Jinlai) did not show any reaction. He just looked at the young lady, waiting to continue giving instructions, and seemed quite relaxed.

Wen Bai was a little confused and looked up at the lady several times. Wang Jinyi knew that Wen Bai had something to say.

"Wang Jindong, go to Qingyu and get three hundred coins as a reward for your time. After you pack up your things, you can rest for half a day. You go first."

Wang Jindong thanked the lady happily and went to the front yard accounting office to collect his prize money.

"Mr. Wenbai, if you have something to say, just say it!"

"Miss, I am a little worried, but I don't know whether I should say it or not."

"Mr. Wenbai, please speak out to avoid regrets."

"Miss, the raw materials for this pen are cheap and easy to obtain. The production is not too complicated and requires almost no technical skills. I'm afraid that someone with a keen mind will be able to test it out quickly, and the formula will be difficult to keep..."

"So we have to cooperate with the court!"

"But this thing will soon be imitated, and then..."

"Isn't this better? It avoids the greed that comes with monopoly."

Wen Bai recalled the new terms that the young lady had mentioned, what what?

“Sir, after someone gets huge profits, they will try to monopolize the industry and raise the threshold to make huge profits, so that the public will no longer be able to afford pencils.

If someone imitates ours, and a new type of pencil enters the market, it will be good for competition, and we can achieve our original goal!"

Wen Bai looked straight at the little girl in front of him, saying a bunch of words he couldn't understand, but in the end he understood the meaning.

"In fact, being copied and imitated can bring down prices, so that more poor people have the opportunity to afford stationery."

After reacting for a while, Wen Bai nodded heavily, looked at the young lady meaningfully, and slowly stood up.

"Then I'm going down."

"Mr. Wenbai."

Wang Jinyi unfolded the handkerchief that she had tightly grasped in her hand. Inside was a small silver ingot of one tael.

"This is what you deserve. Go to Qingyu to collect the 300 coins reward, then pack up and rest for half a day with Wang Jinlai."

Wen Bai was a little excited, and there was something meaningful in his eyes when he looked at the young lady.

Wang Jinyi jumped off the big chair, picked up the small silver ingot from the coffee table and stuffed it into Wenbai's hand. Wenbai bowed deeply and did not stand up for a long time.

"Miss, I'm leaving."

"Okay, we will start recording the book "Revenge" as usual tomorrow. We will meet here tomorrow. You can go down now."

Wang Jinyi watched Wen Bai walk out the door, and called out to Zhu Yu.

Zhu Yu came in immediately.

"Miss, you want me to tell the porter to let them go out (to the house), right?"

Wang Jinyi thought: Great, we finally have a tacit understanding. Feeling that he finally had an assistant, Zhu Yu went to do his work.

Wang Jinyi happily walked out of the main hall, passed through the Begonia Gate and returned to the backyard.

I finally have a legitimate business, and it's a business I can talk about. This source of funds is both stable and legitimate. And with the business, I can go further in my search for Chen Zhiyuan.

Wang Jinyi lowered his head and thought, then walked silently towards the swing. The afternoon sun was still warm, but it was not cool under the tree. Wang Jinyi sat silently in the big swing chair, lowered his head and thought about his own thoughts.

The mother looked at the deeds her daughter brought back one by one. Qing'er came in after finishing her work and reminded her:

"The young lady has been sitting on the swing for quite a while. I wonder if she has fallen asleep."

The mother looked through the window screen at her daughter, who was sitting silently on the swing with her head down. The nanny stood beside her and then looked away.

Wang Jinyi thought that he had been running his Tai Sheng Rice Shop for more than four months. Regardless of how the business was going, at least the three guys in the shop were basically trained. Each of them had worked in shifts to manage the cash, account books, and warehouse. They could basically be trusted and should be able to run a shop on their own!

If funds allow, they should be allowed to open branches in the county town outside Xunyang City. This will not only expand the business, but also help me promote "Stars in the Night Sky", so that I can find Chen Zhiyuan faster...
