Chapter 1240: Carrying on the Past and Forging Ahead (130)
Although he is also a big businessman, but as a doctor in the Chu State, Fan Zhuo, in his heart absolutely looks down on a pure businessman like Guo Han, in his eyes, all businessmen are just tools to make money by themselves, for Guo Han's courtesy, rolled his eyes that were more white than black, and said lightly: "I only have half an hour, if you have anything to say, just say it directly, don't beat around the bush, I don't have time to entangle with you." ”
Guo Han smiled and stretched out his hand to invite: "I have heard for a long time that Dr. Fan is a gourmet, this time Guo brought some specialties from the north, all of which are the freshest ingredients, in the south, it is extremely difficult to eat these things, and the cook is also specially invited by Guo from the north, just to let Mr. Fan taste the original northern flavor, the banquet has been prepared, and Dr. Fan is invited to enjoy it." ”
"Oh, then you have a heart." Hearing that there was a delicious meal, Fan Zhuo's face was a little better, no matter what, this businessman was still very knowledgeable. It is not easy to keep the ingredients fresh from the Northland, by land and water.
Successfully fishing Fan Zhuo's curiosity hunting psychology, Guo Han felt a little proud in his heart.
Yao Yuan was all wrapped up by Guo Han's big money today, the courtyard was extremely quiet, accompanied Fan Zhuo to climb the Yao Yuan Shuiyue Tower, the big table near the window, has already been filled with a dazzling array of delicacies, Fan Zhuo swept roughly, and sure enough, they are all rare northern products in the south.
"Please take a seat, Master Fan!" Guo Han smiled and asked Fan Zhuo to sit down, beckoned, and the companion behind him took out a jar of wine from a small box carved with gold and silver.
"Lord Fan, this wine was specially invited from Wu's winery by the trustee, this is Wu's pressure box baby, if it weren't for that person's big face, Wu's wine industry would never be willing to take it out, this jar of wine alone is worth thousands of taels of silver, and it is priceless."
Carefully remove the mud seal. Tearing open the seal, a clear fragrance suddenly wafted in the room, Fan Zhuo is also an old wine worm, sniffed deeply, and blurted out, "Good wine!" ”
"Naturally, it's a good wine." Guo Han smiled and said: "With that person's face, he just asked Wu's Winery for two altars, this one is for Lord Fan to taste, and the other altar is for filial piety to Lord Fan." ”
Fan Zhuo picked up Guo Han's full wine glass and took a sip gently. Satisfied, he nodded again and again, "I'm quite satisfied with this gift." ”
Guo Han smiled and picked up the chopsticks, "Lord Fan, although the northern specialties on this table are novel in the south, most of them have naturally tasted them, but there are a few things, but they are a little different." Reaching out for chopsticks, he picked up something that was almost transparent into the wings of the cicada, "This is a strange fish that our shipping fleet has fished from overseas, but this fish can't go overboard." Eaten raw, thinly sliced and served with spices we found from overseas, it melts in your mouth. Full of mouth, Master Fan, you can taste it. ”
Holding this thin slice, he gently dragged it in a bowl of condiments and put it on the small plate in front of Fan Zhuo.
Born in Jiangnan. Naturally, there is no shortage of fish, so Fan Zhuo picked up this piece of fish fillet and put it in his mouth. Just as he was about to laugh at two sentences, the words were held in his mouth.
It's unusual.
His chopsticks were already reaching for the plate of sashimi on the table.
Guo Han smiled and looked at Fan Zhuo, who was flying chopsticks on the table, and finally succeeded in catching this arrogant doctor, and his face was better at this time, and he didn't mention that he only had half an hour.
"Lord Yan really has a heart." Fan Zhuo, who was eating, said suddenly, watching the smile on Guo Han's face disappear, a little surprised, Fan Zhuo showed a smile proudly.
"It turns out that Master Fan already knows my details." Guo Han sighed, "All along, I thought I was hiding it well!" ”
Hey! Fan Zhuo sneered: "Such a big business, if you don't have a tough backstage, can you cover it?" Moreover, it is the exclusive monopoly of the sales of Jiangnan thread silk in the Han Kingdom, so I naturally want to find out clearly. Chopsticks pointed to these things on the table, "To transport these items fresh to Jiangnan, without using the power of officials, how can a businessman do it so easily?" ”
Guo Han smiled dryly, that is, he did not deny or affirm. "Lord Fan, the villain came to Jiangnan this time, or do you want to make a negotiation with you on the price, hoping that Lord Fan can lower the price slightly?"
Fan Zhuo glanced at Guo Han and sneered: "Mr. Guo, in the Han Kingdom, those who have bought all the silk have no other price than to buy from you, will you reduce the price?" In the same way, the high-end silk you need, in Da Chu, there is only one of me, there is no semicolon, so do you think I will reduce the price? ”
Guo Han said with a smile: "That's what I said, but Lord Fan has ever considered that now the high-grade silk imported by our Han from you is only afraid that there are more than what you sell in the Chu Kingdom, in other words, more than half of your current sales come from our Han, I think, this reason is enough for us to ask you to reduce the price, otherwise it will really anger the adult, and with an order, I am afraid that the trade route of the high-grade silk sales of Dachu to Han will be interrupted, and at that time, your loss will be great." ”
"You're threatening me?" Fan Zhuo put down his chopsticks and said coldly. "If that's the case, I don't think I'll be the only one who will suffer, and the old man behind you will also have to lose a lot of money."
"For that old man, there or not, it's just the icing on the cake, and I can also tell Lord Fan that Dahan is now in the production of high-end silk, has made some breakthroughs, although the production volume is not large, but has begun to put into the market, and these, not under the control of the old man, I think Fan also knows that our Dahan on the production speed of new products, as long as there is a breakthrough in technology, the increase in production is a blink of an eye, Even though there will be some differences with Da Chu's products because of the raw materials, this difference can be erased under the huge price difference, which is also the reason why the boss asks you to reduce the price. Otherwise, the boss will turn to cooperate with others, and to be honest, when the time comes, the first adult who will be damaged, and the second will be the villain. ”
Fan Zhuo's eyes rolled for a while, he really didn't pay attention to the person in front of him, but the Yan Yizheng behind this person did not allow him to ignore it, the news from Jicheng, this Yan Yizheng is very likely to take over the position of the first assistant after Jiang Jiaquan retired, if it really comes to that time, he will give an order, and his business will indeed suffer a major loss.
I thought so in my heart, but I refused to admit defeat in my mouth.
"Without the Han State, I still have the Qin State, and the huge demand of Great Chu."
Guo Han laughed out loud: "Lord Fan, please forgive me for being rude, do you think those people in the Qin State who are so poor that they can't even eat have the money to buy these high-end silks of yours?" In the past, they were rich officials and poor people, but now what kind of reform Fan Sui is doing, not only the people are not happy, but the officials are also not happy, as far as I know, since the beginning of this year, the goods you sell to the Qin State have fallen by at least more than sixty percent, as for the situation in the land of Chu, I think Lord Fan doesn't need me to say more! ”
Fan Zhuo was poked in the sore spot, and slapped the chopsticks on the table with a snap, and the rare delicacy had no taste in his mouth, it was precisely because of the sharp decline in sales in the Qin State that he put more hope on the Han Kingdom, and the Han people obviously noticed this, so they came to take advantage of the fire.
Guo Han looked at his face and knew that the time had come, so he said unhurriedly at the moment: "The domestic competition in Dahan is becoming increasingly intense, and the era of profiteering is gone, and we have to reduce the price to deal with the domestic competition, but if you don't reduce the price at this source, we will have to do a loss-making business!" Master Fan, the intention of living is a long time, a long stream, don't you say? ”
"How much do you want to cut the price?" Fan Zhuo knew that it was impossible not to have a little blood.
"Sancheng!" Guo Han stretched out three fingers.
Fan Zhuo almost wanted to flip the table, "Drop Sancheng, do you want me to drink the northwest wind?" There's nothing to talk about at all. ”
"Lord Fan, this price is the result of our careful calculation, not a casual price, of course, the old man is not an unreasonable person, knowing that this price has approached the cost price of Lord Fan, so, this time I came, only to bring the latest Han silk reeling and satin technology, these two new technologies can greatly reduce your production costs, increase shipments, Lord Fan, now only by increasing shipments, reducing the price, in order to keep the market that we have fought hard!"
"What kind of technology can actually make up for the difference of 30%?"
"To put it simply, you used to be able to work with ten people, and with these two new technologies, one person can easily do it." Guo Han smiled and said: "I have already installed those two machines next door, if Lord Fan is interested, you can go to observe it immediately, take a look at his operation, and know that what I say is not necessary." ”
"There's such a thing, I'd like to see what happened!" Fan Zhuo stood up.
"Please!" Guo Han said.
Next door, next to the machine that was installed early in the morning, the two workers brought by Guo Han had already been ready, Guo Han raised his hand and signaled, and the two workers immediately turned on the machine, one began to reel silk, and the other began to weave satin. He stepped forward and took a closer look at the two machines.
"Lord Fan, you also know that our Han has always had extremely strict control over these new technologies, and there are people behind these new technologies who take care of them, and the boss will have to pay a lot of money to persuade the Great Council to agree to export these two technologies to the Chu State." Guo Han stepped forward and lowered his voice.
"You mean that Yan Yizheng is confident that he agrees to export these two things, I just saw it, this thing has a delicate structure, and the large parts can be made by our Chu State, but some exquisite parts are not something that our Great Chu can make."
"Since the boss said it, he can naturally do it." Guo Han said confidently: "As long as Master Fan agrees to reduce the price by 30%, we can export these two new technologies to Dachu." (To be continued......)
