When Cheng Yan woke up, he went to Daqian and became a failed scholar who was in debt of thirty-seven taels and was about to be sold.
Since it has to be sold, of course it has to be sold at a good price.
On the first day after entering Shen's Mansion, three thousand pieces of brocade were unsaleable, and Manfu's shopkeeper was at a loss what to do.
Cheng Yan only asked:
"How come you can't sell even one of such easy-to-sell items?"
While others sell cloth, he sells limited edition new clothes.
When others lower their prices, he raises them back.
While others were guarding the shop waiting for customers, he invited the most willing people in the city to come to his door.
From brocade, tea, restaurants, to spices, maritime trade, freight...
The modern method of killing crowns was dimensionality reduction in ancient times.
Shen Yuetang, the eldest daughter of the Shen family, originally only wanted to buy a servant who could settle accounts.

Not only did this guy make the Shen family's business bigger and bigger, it seemed that she was about to be "sold" into it too.
Cheng Yan: "Miss, the most important thing in doing business is integrity."
Shen Yuetang: "So?"
Cheng Yan: "So you agreed to my share, when will it be settled?"
