Chapter 54: Willing to Gamble and Lose
Some time ago, it will be the hot business of supervising the carpentry shop, and the carpenters in Chang'an and the showcases of the carpentry shop can be said to be obvious to all. Moreover, they did not hide the source of the design ideas.
Those who cooperate with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will become pigs who have already earned as prisoners, even if their status is not very high, it is not too much to stick a layer of fat!
With Lin Qi taking the lead, all the shopkeepers responded together, and couldn't wait to know the content of the cooperation.
Li Chengqian stretched out his hand and pressed it falsely, motioned for Lin Qi to sit down, and waited for the merchants to shut up before continuing: "Regarding the way to make money, there are still some in the lonely hand, so I called you all here." You also know that as a prince, you can't do business alone, so ah, you can only buy shares with ideas, and it's you who actually operate. No matter how much money you make with Lone's thoughts, Lone only needs forty percent of the profits, the same as the one who will be the prisoner. What do you think? ”
Forty percent of the net profit, which is completely a money-grabbing behavior in later generations, but in Datang, these businessmen have no opinion. The lowliness of status has caused the weakening of their right to speak, and in their opinion, working with the prince is only a forty percent share, which is not too little.
Seeing that no one objected, Li Chengqian took out the list and read: "Zhao Yongsheng, Li Dahai, you two come out." ”
Zhao Yongsheng, who had inconvenient legs and feet, and Li Dahai, another chubby businessman, stood up and saluted respectfully.
He took out two drawings from his desk and asked Fang Sheng to hand them over.
The drawings show a method of distilling to increase the alcohol concentration of the liquor. There is a way to win, Li Chengqian learned that the wine culture of the Tang Dynasty was particularly backward. The high beer-like wine he drank last night was actually a tribute from Persia, known as the king of wine. And Datang's ordinary yellow fermented wine is not very high.
It's no wonder that many people claim to be not drunk with a thousand cups, just the small cup they drink, a thousand beers in their stomachs, as long as they run a few more times to the toilet, they really can't get drunk.
Nearly 20 degrees of samler, the samler pulp is already the king of liquor, and as long as the distillation method is used to produce high-grade liquor, any liquor must be swept into the garbage heap.
Those who can be favored by Fang Sheng are all big shopkeepers, and literacy is the minimum. After reading it, Zhao Yongsheng and Li Dahai thought about it, and found that such a method is really feasible, not to mention the difficulty, such a spicy spirit, as long as it is released, it can become popular instantly. Not to mention the internal sales of Datang, once the foreign trade is opened, the wine in this altar will be exchanged for a large amount of silver!
The two glanced at each other, and Zhao Yongsheng bowed down and asked, "Your Highness, although your method is simple, and the grass people feel that they can succeed, why do you want to hand over the recipe to the two of us?" ”
Such a good thing, naturally, the less the better, Zhao Yongsheng didn't understand, his Yongsheng Wine Workshop was already the first in Chang'an, why did the prince bring Li Dahai with him? Although the wine in their winery is also good, it is two grades with Yongsheng winery!
Li Chengqian replied: "There is naturally a reason why it is handed over to the two of you. Zhao Yongsheng, Lone knows that your family's wine has been a time-honored brand since the Sui Dynasty. Lone handed over the formula to you because he wanted you to sell it internally, and; Li Dahai is responsible for external sales. The wine sold to our Datang people naturally has to strive for excellence, if something goes wrong, Zhao Yongsheng, Lone will personally investigate your guilt! As for the external one, just deal with it casually. Li Dahai, I heard that you have a Turkic caravan under you. With this foundation, it is much easier for you to develop foreign trade. The two of you are one inside and one outside, and there will be no conflict of interest. ”
After listening to the prince's words, Zhao Yongsheng and Li Dahai glanced at each other, and at the same time showed a kind smile. One inside and one outside, so that there will be no conflict of interest between the two wineries, and everyone will make money together!
Carefully folding the drawings and stuffing them into his arms, Li Dahai bowed down and said, "Your Highness, without further ado, the grass people will go to the winery to try making wine." ”
Li Chengqian nodded and asked the guards to send the two of them out.
After settling the two people, Li Chengqian looked at the list and continued to read: "Lin Qi, Feng Youcai, Zhang Lie, the three of you come out." ”
Finally waiting for their names, the three of them stood up excitedly. A kind of high-grade wine that can abuse the three pulps, and its benefits may no longer be described by gold and silver. Zhao Yongsheng and Li Dahai left with smiles, which made them full of confidence in the prince.
took out a letter of introduction and handed it to the three of them, Li Chengqian said: "Fang Sheng told Gu, the three of you are all timber merchants with heads and faces, presumably, there must be no shortage of carpenters in your family?" ”
Lin Qi bowed and said: "Yes, Your Highness, the grass people have a woodcraft shop in Chang'an, and there are also three woodcraft shops in my hometown. ”
Li Chengqian nodded and said, "This letter of introduction is for Yan Liben, who will be the young eunuch, and he will send three craftsmen who are familiar with the making of wooden tools such as wheelchair spring beds, so that the craftsmen in your family can also learn how to make them." Wood is not like other goods, in the process of transportation, as long as it encounters rain, the tenon will swell and crack. Therefore, it is the best choice to make and sell now. You all have more than one store under your name, and it is your ability to open as many branches outside of Datang Chang'an. How is it? ”
Lin Qi and the three of them were immediately overjoyed, in fact, they had long been greedy for the hot shop under the name of the supervisor, and now with the authorization of the prince, although they want to leave Chang'an to sell, it can be seen that they can make a lot of money.
The three of them left with the same Shi Li, whether it was Zhao Yongsheng or Lin Qi, they did not make a contract. In fact, Datang rarely makes a contract except for the house deed or something. Three cups of Turannuo, Wuyue is light. Even if it is a verbal promise, the Tang people will abide by it. And the businessmen who value integrity the most, integrity is something more precious than their lives.
After sending the five people away, Li Chengqian took out the list again: "Come and see Ang alone, huh?" Pregnant! Fu Chengshuang, are you the biggest butcher in Chang'an? But you're going to be disappointed, I'm not going to guide you to do business, I'm going to reach a long-term cooperation with you..."
"Wu Dabao who sells vegetables? Rest assured, Lone not only has to cooperate with you for a long time, but also to guide you in the way to make a fortune. Do you know Wen Tang Supervisor? I don't know? That's just to say, Lone wants to teach you how to grow vegetables in winter...."
With Li Chengqian's roll call one by one, the businessmen who were called left satisfied.
This time they came to the East Palace, and the worst of them got a long-term order for the crown prince for 2,000 people. Even if they are all leaders in various industries, they can't ignore such a large order.
After the businessmen left, Mr. Li pushed his wheelchair out after the flowers.
On his lap, there was a wrapped guqin.
asked Fang Sheng to hand over the guqin to Li Chengqian, Li Gang snorted and said: "The old man is willing to gamble and lose, but let's say okay, when your high-grade wine comes out, the old man will be the first to taste it!" ”
With Li Gang's knowledge, how can he not know how much Li Chengqian's high-level wine alone will profit. He is not a person who can't afford to lose, so he simply admits defeat.
The old gentleman who lost the guqin was not unhappy at all, but pushed his wheelchair close to Li Chengqian and advised: "Tomorrow's court meeting, you'd better go there." The old man found you a very powerful teacher, and you can meet him at the court meeting. ”
