Chapter Seventy-Three: Long-term Cooperation (Part II)
Shang Que thought about it for half an hour, and just when Mu Fan was about to be stunned by him, Shang Que finally stopped, looked at Mu Fan, and asked a question that he was more concerned about, "Mu Gongzi, will your partners increase in the future?"
"Then it depends on the ability of the business boss, if the performance of each month is good, in the future, in the entire six districts of Xudu, I will only sell you one of the contraband in this vein. Mu Fan replied.
This is similar to the golden fat man as an agent, if the profit provided by Shang Que to himself every month is very objective, then Mu Fan will naturally not work too hard and take the risk of developing other matchmaking owners. However, if Shang Que's performance does not satisfy Mu Fan, he will also consider a replacement, so for now, he can't say too much.
"One last question. Shang Que asked solemnly, "Why did Mu Gongzi choose me?"
Although in this Luxiang City, Shang Que thinks he is very capable. But in the smuggling industry, the water is as deep as the sea, not to mention the entire six districts of Xudu, it is in this Shangqing side, there are many people who are more capable than themselves, Mu Fan has no reason to find and only cooperates with himself.
"The reason is simple. Mu Fan replied: "Because of my master." ”
"You mean, Lao Hei asked you to come to me for cooperation?" Shang Que said suspiciously, he remembered that the last time Jiao Xiang came over, he didn't know that his apprentice had such a large amount of smuggling resources.
"My master doesn't know about this, and I hope you don't tell him about it. Mu Fan replied: "The reason why I said it was because of my master that I asked you to cooperate, the reason is that last time, he directly brought me to you to shoot a lighter." This shows that you care about each other very well, and since it is a trusted friend of my master, then I naturally believe it too. In addition, I also recognize that you have been able to achieve your current position from scratch. ”
"I see. Shang Que nodded and said, "Mu Gongzi is in love." ”
"I believe in the master's vision, and I also believe in my own vision. Mu Fan smiled and said, "Even if we can't cooperate, you won't denounce me." ”
"Mu Gongzi said with a smile, not mentioning the relationship between me and your master, even if we meet for the first time, I will not do such a despicable thing to someone. Shang Que thought for a while and said, "But the business you mentioned is too big, and I need to develop slowly." I can only guarantee now that if you choose me, I will pick up at least a million goods from you for the first month. After that, the amount of each month will definitely increase exponentially. ”
The central idea of the contraband industry is well reflected in the old saying, that is, scarce is expensive. If the streets are full of lighters and flashlights, it won't be worth much.
Therefore, the shipment of commercial sparrows is planned. A few lighters and flashlights sold in a town are all discussed through meetings with other matchmakers in the city, and there must not be too many. Of course, this kind of meeting used to be a formality, after all, there was very little contraband, and there was no need for restrictions at all.
However, if Shang Que and Mu Fan cooperated, the situation would be very different, and he had to investigate carefully and sell the contraband according to the plan. Therefore, the number of purchases at the beginning will not be too large, and after the merchants have paved the roads in other towns, with the increase of territory, the sales of contraband will naturally increase exponentially, which is an obvious reason.
"A million. Mu Fan resisted the urge to pounce on Shang Que and kiss him, nodded with a clear conscience and replied: "In the early stage, it was not bad. ”
"So, do you agree?" Shang Que asked hurriedly.
"Hmm. Mu Fan replied: "Our cooperative relationship is temporarily determined, as for the future, it depends on the ability of the business boss." ”
"Don't worry, my own business, how can I not do my best. Shang Que replied happily.
"Boss Shang, do you see if you have ordered the list of goods needed for this month?" Mu Fan said: "You know that the delivery of contraband needs to be prepared in advance. ”
"Absolutely. Shang Que brought a pen and paper, sat next to Mu Fan, and asked, "Boss Mu, take the liberty of asking again, do you really have any contraband?"
"Well, basically not lacking. Of course, there are some special items that are hard to come by. Mu Fan didn't say anything to death, if Shang Que asked him to get a few AK47s, rocket launchers, etc., where would he buy them? The small commodity wholesale market sells these things, but they are all equipped with batteries.
"Do you have a prism?" asked Shang Que, "the kind of transparent prism that can pluck off the rainbow in the sky." ”
"As much as you want. Mu Fan replied.
"Bring me twenty. Shang Que spoke, took a note, and asked, "Is there a glass thermos cup?" ”
"A connoisseur is a connoisseur. Hearing Shang Que's words in the twenty-first century, Mu Fan smiled and nodded, "Yes, how much?"
"Ten of them. Shang Que said.
Although Mu Fan didn't know the price of the prism and the thermos cup, he didn't ask much. Shang Que is a smart man, and he gave him such a big deal, and I believe that he will not be stupid enough to fool himself about the price.
After that, Shang Que asked for five flashlights, five vanity mirrors, and ten lighters, a total of 1.4 million taels. Mu Fan put the list away and stood up, "Boss Shang, I'll send you something in half a month at most." ”
"Okay, I'm waiting for Master Mu in the house. Shang Que said respectfully, "Tonight, I will set up a table in the Nine Immortals Pavilion, and I will ask Master Mu to appreciate his face." ”
"My master is still waiting for me in the house, next time, I'll be the east. Mu Fan waved his hand and replied, it was already more than three o'clock in the afternoon, and he still had a task to complete, so it could be said that the time was urgent.
"Has your master's condition improved?" Shang Que asked with a little meaning, as Jiao Xiang's old friend, he naturally knew that Jiao Xiang's illness was faked. It's just that Shang Que didn't know whether Mu Fan knew about it, so he asked rhetorically.
"Although it is a minor illness, I am afraid that I will have to stay in bed for more than ten days. Mu Fan also replied with a little meaning, and the two looked at each other and smiled, everything was silent.
Shang Que personally asked people to take 100,000 taels of silver tickets, handed them to Mu Fan, and sent him to the mansion.
"Boss Shang, take your leave, and he will come back to visit him in the future. Mu Fan arched his hand and said.
"Shang is waiting in the house. Shang Que returned the salute, and several nurses on the side looked surprised. This was the first time they had seen Shang Que be so polite to someone other than the city lord, and he personally sent him out of the mansion, not to mention it, and his tone and attitude were so respectful, several people couldn't help but start guessing Mu Fan's identity in their hearts.
"Farewell. Mu Fan, who put 100,000 taels of silver tickets in his pocket, left happily.
Looking at the back of Mu Fan turning to leave, Shang Que was very emotional in his heart, it seems that Jiao Xiang has accepted an amazing apprentice.
