"What did that foreign devil say?"

"Your foreign language is really bad, I'll sue you, that guy said, if he becomes the political envoy of this place, then he will levy a heavy tax on a store like ours, as for how much, he didn't say."

"Huh? That doesn't levy anyone else? ”

"No."

"So, why then?"

"This is a foreigner's place, by the way, boss, what can you do in the future?"

After a busy day, the group of workers in the Golden Scale Pavilion naturally had to chat a little, and talked about Johnson's speech, some of which had just come to San Francisco not long ago, and they didn't understand much, so they had to ask Huang San, is he the boss.

"You lazy stuff, what are you doing all this all day long? It has nothing to do with you, it's an official business, can you manage it? Can I manage it? Huang San scolded the guy, but he didn't have a soft mouth.

"Daddy." Huang Rong couldn't stand it anymore, because Brother Meng Yang had said this before, "If you want me to say, we should listen to Brother Meng Yang, we can't be bullied like this, we have to ...... with them"

"That's it! What are you doing with all this stuff in a girl's house!? Huang San didn't let Huang Rong finish his words, and immediately reprimanded.

"Daddy!" That Huang Rong naturally stopped drying, and her little mouth was pursed.

Huang San immediately brought his daughter to the side and whispered: "That guy Li Xiaozi is a good hand at making money, but the thing he said is going to kill the head, do you know that the head is going to be killed?" ”

"Humph!" Huang Rong really felt that her father was really too cowardly, and everyone was going to bully her, and she was afraid of this and that, so she ignored her father and went to find Brother Mengyang.

Li Mengyang is in a good mood at this time, anyway, that guy Johnson hasn't become governor yet, has he? The main thing for us now is to earn dollars and accumulate strength, no, he just produced more than 100 bottles of ketchup, which is tiring.

"Hehe...... "Tired is tired, but this will soon turn into dollars, can you be in a bad mood?"

"Brother Mengyang!" As soon as Huang Rong came in, she saw such a scene.

"Rong'er, you're here." Li Mengyang was in a better mood, and he simply saved the word "sister".

"How are you in the mood to do this, that guy named Johnson is going to bully us." Huang Rong's pouting old man is still angry with her father.

"Rong'er, don't worry, listen to your brother Mengyang, I will speak slowly." When Li Mengyang heard this, he was not angry, but explained slowly. "I did this thing to deal with the Johnson guys."

"Huh? W, can this thing hit them? "Huang Rong is angry now, this thinking is inevitably a bit one-lined.

"Hehehe...... Li Mengyang didn't laugh and was strange, "Rong'er, of course this can't beat people." ”

"Oops!" Seeing that Brother Yang laughed at himself, so can Huang Rong follow? immediately gave Brother Meng Yang a few pink punches, and at the same time said, "Say it quickly!" Say it! Don't buy it! ”

"Oh, good, good." Li Mengyang can also act, and his posture hurts.

"Big bad!" The action just now was a little intimate, and Huang Rong blushed like a rabbit and jumped away.

Li Mengyang saw that this was almost the same, so he stopped teasing her, and said with a smile: "Rong'er, let's do it now, just to bring down the price of this ketchup!" ”

"Huh?" This time, Huang Rong's little head melon is not enough, "The price has come down, Brother Mengyang, aren't you making less dollars?" ”

Yes, that's right, but Li Mengyang has his reasoning, and he just listened to him say: "The price is down, but the money you can make is not less, sister, we have been doing auctions now, the advantage of this auction is that the price is high, but the disadvantage is also obvious, the amount is small." ”

At this time, Huang Rong said disapprerovingly: "It's nothing if the amount is small, you can make money anyway, and you're not tired." ”

This kind of thinking is normal, just the current people of the Qing Dynasty, even if they come to this America, they still have that kind of small peasant thinking in their minds, not to mention Huang Rong's girl's house, which is too normal.

Li Mengyang naturally didn't laugh at her, but said patiently: "I'm not tired, that's right, but Rong'er, have you ever thought that our ketchup itself is not difficult, so now that it is so expensive, won't anyone else make it?" ”

"This ......" Huang Rong stopped talking.

To put it simply, this is a copycat, and the key is that Li Mengyang doesn't have a patent at all now, to be honest, even if he has a patent, it's useless, because this thing is too simple, and when everyone learns it, the patent is completely useless, besides, as far as the current legal situation is concerned, what if it's the United States? Can't you see what California is messing up now?

Li Mengyang smiled, of course he has a way, and there is no need to hide this method from Huang Rong, "Rong'er, I will launch 1,000 bottles of ketchup to San Francisco tomorrow, as long as this product enters the market of San Francisco, then the price of ketchup will inevitably be lowered, but, judging from the current price, the batch of goods I will sell tomorrow can be sold for at least 1 to 2 dollars per bottle, and in fact, this is the last madness of this bubble." ”

"Bubbles?" Obviously, Huang Rong doesn't understand what bubbles are.

"......" Li Mengyang patted his head, he forgot about it, he crossed over, Huang Rong was not, where could she understand the word economic bubble. Bubbles, this has to start from the past, I think there was a country called the Netherlands in Europa, and we had a flower called tulips, which was poured by the merchants......"

Explanation, fortunately, Li Mengyang still knows a little about the economic bubble, because this matter is also a part of history, and it is quite interesting, especially in the 21st century, someone wrote a book on this subject, which is quite interesting.

It is precisely because of this that Li Mengyang came up with this method, the previous auction is actually the stage of his accumulation, thanks to this ketchup will not be so easy to spoil, this can make a lot of goods, so before this bubble bursts, he Li Mengyang himself will burst this bubble, so that he will not only not be hurt by the copycat products after they come out, but also earn the maximum profit!

So what to do next?

That's a good question, and Huang Rong asked the same question.

"It's very simple, I have already talked to your father, and not only with him, but also with many of our Chinese shops, everyone will produce this ketchup together!" Li Mengyang gave an answer, but this is the answer......

"Brother Mengyang, you, you are so generous? Although, that, I think still, this money is better earned by itself. Huang Rong was worried about her dream Brother Yang.

"Hahaha......" Seeing Rong'er's sister like this, Li Mengyang's heart was happy, but this matter was still worried in vain, "Rong'er, you just haven't figured it out, no matter how you make money, it's a small amount of money, and if you can unite others and make money together, then the more people you have, the more money you will earn!" ”

To put it simply, this is a 'scale effect', and the people of the Qing Dynasty at this time are naturally incomprehensible, so let's put it this way, in this feudal dynasty, from top to bottom, it is basically a small peasant thought, and there are too few businessmen with vision. Let's talk about the famous Jin merchants and Hui merchants, what will they do after they make money?

Buy a house, buy a field, go home and be a rich man, come to a farmer and a family heirloom or engage in a scholarly family, and still be a small landlord!

But Li Mengyang, a guy with advanced vision, how could he make such a mistake?

The larger my production scale, the lower my costs, the more competitive my products are, and the more money I make, just like Levi Strauss now, isn't this guy thinking about how to hire more employees all the time?

These days, there are auctions outside, but Li Mengyang has been stuffy in production, and he can now have 2,000 bottles in stock, fortunately, the tomato sauce in this thin-necked iron bottle is not easy to spoil, and before that, Li Mengyang has negotiated with upstream suppliers, and he basically wrapped the tomatoes in San Francisco.

So......

"With so much ketchup, where do you sell it?"

I have to say that Huang Rong is still a Qing girl who is more brainy.

"It's simple, if you can't eat it in California, then sell it to all of America, get on the ship, sell it to the east, and even sell it to Europe, anyway, foreign devils will definitely like this thing."

White people really like this thing, to say that in terms of eating, we Chinese can completely despise the world, as far as the current level of white people's diet, compared with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, is the original level, Li Mengyang is doing now, in fact, it is nothing more than to promote strengths and avoid weaknesses.

Actually, Li Mengyang didn't say something, just before that, he deliberately spent a lot of dollars to write a few letters to some newspapers in the east, the content of which was roughly 'There is a delicious and incredible food in California, tomato sauce'.

This guy is really leakless in his work, and he hasn't forgotten to publicize it!

Of course, Li Mengyang is a modern person, how could he forget to apply for a patent? Although he thinks that this patent is useless, he should be prepared.

However, the brand still seems to say that there is no trademark law in the United States now, which is a bit difficult to do......

"Brother Mengyang, you are too powerful!" Huang Rong was stunned by Brother Mengyang's momentum, and she wanted to sell this thing so far away, her eyes were full of little stars!

However, Li Mengyang did not forget Huang Rong's question at the beginning, "The reason why I did this is to make this business bigger, on the one hand, is to accumulate my own strength, and only with money can I establish my own power, so that I can fight against those foreign devils." On the other hand, that is to pull the people of the Qing Dynasty into this business, if one day Johnson becomes governor, he uses the power in his hands to bully us and destroy our business, this is a business, but also a real benefit, and his own interests are damaged, then will the people of the Qing Dynasty still be slaughtered like that? ”

Although the Chinese workers are still being bullied, they have to pay a few dollars more in taxes than others, and if you go to pan for gold, you will pay more, but in this case, the Chinese workers are still obedient.

Li Mengyang felt that this was not because the Chinese workers did not have a sense of resistance, but because they had not been really hurt yet!

A few dollars can be endured, but in the future, when our ketchup business and fast food business start, it will not be a few dollars, it may be thousands, tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of dollars. At that time, don't worry that you won't make a revolution with us!

This is Li Mengyang's killer feature!

"Brother Mengyang, I knew that you were a person who did great things, little sister me, little sister I ......" Huang Rong's heart, like a deer jumping around, this blushing like a fever, she only felt that it was her greatest blessing to meet someone like Brother Mengyang in this life.

"Rong'er, do you still want to listen to "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"?" The girl is still too young, Li Mengyang doesn't feel in a hurry, so let's change the topic first.

"Okay, okay!" Of course I want to hear it.

So, Li Mengyang talked about it, but while he was talking, the two naturally wanted to talk about something else.

"Brother Mengyang, you don't have to worry, if someone likes you in the future, I won't be as jealous as in the book......" Okay, obviously talking about the plot of Hua Zheng.

Women in this era also have a good side, they are open-minded enough......

Of course, Li Mengyang sighed, but didn't forget to say something else, or whispered.

"If there is an emergency in the future, then Rong'er might as well go through the chicken coop in the backyard."

"Why?"

That's useful, of course......

On August 31, 1855, a large amount of ketchup suddenly appeared in San Francisco on this day, causing the price of ketchup to plummet.
