Chapter 270: Lao Cheng Engages in Business
Everyone left, Li De left Cheng Zhijie alone, and his cooperation with the backer king is expected to last a few years, and what Yang Guang does depends on how far he goes.
In fact, objectively speaking, Yang Guang's strategy of governing the country still has some political achievements, that is, he let himself go in the later stage, and as a result, the kite broke off and could not end.
Cheng Zhijie stayed, although he didn't look serious most of the time, but those who knew him knew that in fact, the little Jiujiu in his heart remembered that no one else knew it.
When Li De was pondering, he didn't bother, probably knowing that the next thing might involve important things and didn't dare to slack off.
"Lao Cheng, it's okay for you to stay, the business in the northwest is very important, and I really don't feel at ease if someone else is changed."
Cheng Zhijiexin said that it was really like guessing, it really involved important things, and when he heard Li De say this, he knew that it was his trust in him, and he was very moved.
"The business in the northwest is mainly with the business of the king of the backer, and there must not be any difference......
Li De made it clear to Cheng Zhijie about the fine salt, as for the leather workshop, the ranch is a tentative investment, and how much money can be made is uncertain.
The research involved in the chemical leather making method is the key.
In order to allow Cheng Zhijie to carry out his work smoothly, he wrote a plan, which included general matters about what to do, how to do it, and how to do it.
Including the application of materials after cooked leather, including the production of leather shoes, leather goods and other items, and the addition of personal protection products.
The response plan for the difficulties encountered in production and so on are clearly written.
Cheng Zhijie looked at the thick pile of paper in his hand and felt a little headache, in order to let him understand, Li De also deliberately read these materials to him in their original form, and also made a lot of explanations.
Looking at Cheng Zhijie, who had two big performances in the first two years, Li Dezhen didn't know if the decision to leave Cheng Zhijie was right, thinking that it should be okay with the support of the backer king.
In the next few days, Li De basically spent the thousands of dollars he got from the backer king, don't look at the pre-construction of enough money for a workshop in this place.
According to the price of fine salt negotiated with the backers, ten yuan per stone, Li De's caravan was responsible for transportation, and the backer king was allowed to become the largest dealer in the northwest.
And provide corresponding preferential policies and property protection.
Preferential items include businesses other than fine salt, such as the development of buyers for the trophies of the Northwest Army, and the purchase of fur at cost price from the Northwest Army.
Yang Lin is a bright person, after the purchase of fine salt to the local merchants, it was directly doubled, thirty yuan per stone, and these western salt is not much, and the local merchants will digest it all, in order to make small profits, the merchants will not transport these western salt back to Chang'an to sell, not enough for the round-trip freight.
You must know that the current carriage freight is very bad, and all those who can ride are rich.
In fact, the horse-drawn carriage cannot be blamed for the high charge, after all, it is extremely easy to wear out when there is no need to protect the horses, and the wooden wheels of the carriage are also the easiest to consume.
It can be said that the current Li family caravan can earn 3,000 yuan for a round trip if it is fully loaded, and if the goods purchased in the northwest are brought back for sale, there will be 1,800 yuan.
After the caravan expands several times, this profit will be very gratifying, and you will be able to become the richest man in the Great Sui Dynasty without doing anything else.
The ideal is always the ideal, the most valuable goods in the northwest are the horses, cattle and sheep from the Western Regions, you say that the glazed gems are these things, the merchants of the Western Regions are not fools, they have worked hard to reach the Great Sui, and they must go to Chang'an to sell the goods at a high price.
There is nothing valuable to bring back for profit, except for the horses, which are the soldiers' battle trophies, and the armor and weapons have long been handed over to the public.
However, some private jewelry, gems and other things are purchased at a very high price, and they can be sold at a higher price if they are brought back to Chang'an, so Li De is optimistic about the trophy recycling business and told Yang Lin that he wants to formulate the right to purchase.
It is not surprising that the benefits of Li De's trip to the northwest are not as much as expected, after all, there is no particularly valuable industry in the northwest, and when his leather business is done, the situation will be greatly improved, and he is very confident.
Ten days later, after browsing the beautiful scenery of the border pass and dealing with the rest of the matter, the Li family caravan returned to Chang'an.
On the way back, Li De thought that the map found on the horse bandit was handed over to Cheng Zhijie, and the next thing was up to him.
Cheng Zhijie is a demon king of the mixed world, he can eat anywhere, after Li De's caravan left Zicheng, Lao Cheng's good life began.
Under the guise of cooperation, they began to win over the relationship, starting from Luo Fang, the hand of the Twelve Taibao, to the low-level generals, the captain and the captain did not let go.
soon became a frequent visitor to the restaurant in Zicheng, and inexplicably had a pivotal position in the business circle of Zicheng, not only the relationship was tough, but the main thing was that the Li family's caravan was blown by Cheng Zhijie.
The impression to the merchants was that this road had become the Li family, and more merchants were still worried about the size of the caravan with hundreds of carriages, and they couldn't be sure whether it was true or not.
All of them are waiting to see the arrival of the next Li family's caravan.
Li De didn't know what Cheng Zhijie did, and he didn't care what kind of way he used, since he left things to him to do, he just needed to know the result.
As a result, as soon as Li De entered Chang'an City, Cheng Zhijie's fast horse urgent letter arrived.
"It's good for De'er to come back, come and let Weiniang take a look."
Zheng Shuxuan came over to greet Li De as soon as he came back, and when she saw that Li De was safe and sound, her heart relaxed.
"Mother, I'm fine, isn't it okay, look at what my son brought back for you."
Li De took out all the gems he brought back, most of the items were collected for battle, and there were a lot of good quality things.
"Gems of the Western Regions, so many?"
Zheng Shuxuan was surprised, if someone dared to say that his son had robbed the treasury of the Western Regions Royal Court, she would believe it.
In order to dispel his mother's suspicions, Li De simply said the matter, and knew that it was the soldier's trophy and immediately began to appreciate it, so that he directly ignored Li De.
Women love jewelry, and it really has reached the bottom of the hopeless.
"These gems will be kept by Wei Niang for you."
Li De instantly lost his sense of existence, and said in his heart that the plot shouldn't be like this, shouldn't he be ecstatic and praise his son for his ability, and then everyone was happy.
"The eldest son, there is a fast horse letter." Butler Li Fu hurriedly came over and said.
Li De went out of the room and took the letter and saw that it was a letter from Cheng Zhijie, and the content written on it was very simple, asking for money.
"De'er, what are you looking at?"
Zheng Shuxuan came over suddenly, and saw the content of the letter at a glance, it was really too simple to pay attention to a few words.
"One hundred thousand." Zheng Shuxuan exclaimed.
Li De hurriedly put the letter away.
