Chapter 31 Doing Business
Of course, Cao Ang could hear the sarcasm contained in his words, but now for the sake of Shopkeeper Chen and his father, he could only endure it for the time being, and then slowly settle accounts with him in the future.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were two families of the fourth generation and three dukes, one of which was the Yuan family, and the second was the Yang family of Yang Biao in front of him.
Yang Biao's family has a lot of money, and he is even more generous, there are so many jars of wine in two thousand, and he settled down with Cao Ang without blinking.
As for the other ministers of the scholar clan who saw this, they couldn't calm down, and they went to Cao Ang to make a deposit, this time they all ordered at least a hundred altars, because there were still discounts.
Like the ones they bought in advance, they also joined the predetermined procession, and the outside of the palace suddenly became lively.
With great difficulty, the number of reservations made by these ministers was recorded, and they dispersed satisfied, and went home to wait slowly.
It wasn't long before the outside of the palace was quiet again.
Cao Ang looked at the predetermined list and the amount of deposit that should be charged, couldn't help laughing, turned around and looked at Chen Yang, and sighed in his heart that Shopkeeper Chen was really powerful, whether it was business or strategy, he couldn't reach it.
Seeing that everyone was gone, Cao Ang packed up his things for a while and prepared to go back.
"Eldest Prince, please wait!"
At this moment, a man dressed in a eunuch costume and with a duck voice opened his mouth came out of the palace.
"It turned out to be the chamberlain Zhang's father-in-law!" Cao Ang said politely.
Gonggong Zhang was the eunuch beside Liu Xie, he trotted forward and said with a smile: "Eldest prince, I also want to order these fine wines, and I need one hundred and fifty jars, I don't know if it's okay?" ”
The eunuch also came out to order his wine?
Or as many as a hundred and fifty altars!
Soon Cao Ang figured out that it was not Gonggong Zhang who wanted to make a reservation, but Liu Xie, the son of heaven, wanted to drink.
Although Chen Yang's wine has become a tribute wine, it is very difficult for Liu Xie to take a sip, after all, it is all in the hands of Cao Cao, and it will only be supplied to the palace regularly.
Liu Xie was not drunk enough, so he could only buy it privately, and he was embarrassed to appear in front of Cao Ang, so he asked an attendant to come forward.
"Absolutely!" Cao Ang nodded and said.
It doesn't matter who he wants to buy, he doesn't want the business to be delivered to the door, he is a fool.
recorded Zhang's father-in-law's order, no one came to buy wine, and the people nearby could only take a look, the price of a jar of 5,000 yuan, they could only afford it in their dreams.
Back in the tavern, they simply calculated the accounts, and the deposit was already more than 30 million yuan, even if Cao Ang was born in the Cao family, he had never seen so much money in his life.
If you take back all the money you have left, you can imagine a mountain of coins. In this way, not only can you buy food on a large scale, but even in the next few years, you will not have to worry about military spending.
Cao Ang's eyes when he looked at Chen Yang exuded brilliance, and the surprise that Shopkeeper Chen gave himself was too great.
"Those big families are really rich, thousand-year-old families, hundred-year-old dynasties, and that's true." Chen Yang looked at the final calculated figures, and couldn't help but sigh.
In fact, during the Eastern Han Dynasty, land annexation was serious, and most of the land fell into the pockets of these big families.
It is precisely because of this that the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out so easily.
However, no matter how much the Yellow Turban Army tosses, it is still ordinary people who suffer in the end, and the big family has already transferred its property.
Just like Yang Biao, Kong Rong and other families, who will not have millions of stone grains in their homes?
If not, they're all embarrassed to claim to be family.
After Cao Ang saw the numbers, he also sighed: "Dahan, in fact, he was defeated in the hands of these families, but ...... Shopkeeper Chen, how should the money be divided? ”
Before agreeing to sell the wine, both of them tacitly did not discuss how to distribute it.
Interests are the fuse of many contradictions, and once there is a conflict of interests, then relatives can also become enemies.
Now Cao Ang is also worried about the issue of interests, and he doesn't know how to divide the money.
But before coming to sell wine, Cao Cao had already given Cao Ang a bottom line, depending on what kind of price Chen Yang could give.
"We work together, but the wine is mine, the technology is also mine, and even the way to sell wine is also what I came up with, I want to occupy a large share, we are four or six points, I want sixty percent, how about it?" Chen Yang thought for a long time before he spoke.
At first, he also wanted more, but thinking that it was to cooperate with the Cao family, and it was not good to make the issue of interests too stiff, he took a step back.
Cao Ang finally breathed a sigh of relief, the lowest distribution method they could accept was three or seven points, and he didn't think about it at the moment, so he nodded directly and said: "Of course you can, all of this is the credit of Shopkeeper Chen, and most of it is naturally yours." ”
Chen Yang saw that he agreed happily, and naturally knew that Cao Ang had been instructed, but he thought of a good idea again, and said with a smile: "Xiao Cao, if you still don't think you have enough money, I'll give you another good way." ”
Cao Ang's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "What's a good way?" ”
Chen Yang said with a smile: "To buy grain, take advantage of the fact that the price of grain is not high, buy a large amount, but you must not buy it in the name of the prime minister, and wait until more and more grain merchants come to Xudu, and then sell these grains at a higher price." ”
Cao Ang couldn't figure it out, scratched his head and asked, "What's the point of doing this?" ”
Chen Yang said with a smile: "In this way, you don't understand, buy at a low price, and sell it to those families or grain merchants at a high price when the price of grain in Xudu is soaring, and you can make a lot of money in the middle." Do you think it makes sense to use the difference to buy food after the price of food has been lowered? ”
Bang!
Cao Ang slapped the table vigorously when he heard this, he never thought that he could play like this in business.
Awesome!
Chen Yang's words suddenly opened the door to Cao Ang's new world, and he said excitedly: "Shopkeeper Chen, this plan is very good! ”
Chen Yang laughed: "There are still two things that you need to do, Xiao Cao, first send the rest of our wine to the person who made the deposit, remember that it is free, so as to temporarily gag their mouths." ”
"The second thing is to immediately announce to the public that the prime minister has made a lot of money by selling wine, and then there is news that Cao Jun is extremely short of food, and if he can, he can burn one or two granaries for everyone to see. Let the outside grain merchants know that we are not only rich, but also very short of food, so that their interest on Xudu will become greater. ”
Cao Ang thought for a while and sighed: "Shopkeeper Chen, we can't compare to your business mind. ”
Chen Yang shook his head casually without explanation, and he asked curiously: "However, Xiaocao, your identity is not simple, right?" I think those big officials are polite to you, or the eldest son of the Cao family? ”
Cao Ang shouted in his heart, I shouldn't reveal my identity, right?
His mind was racing, and he quickly found a reason, and said helplessly: "I am also the prime minister's clan, of course I know them, I am the eldest brother in the family, and it is normal for them to call me the eldest son." ”
I hope that Shopkeeper Chen can accept this reason.
Chen Yang nodded slightly, and no longer questioned it, as for the identity of Lao Cao and Xiao Cao, he also had suspicions, but he didn't ask them directly.
Many times, to put it bluntly, the relationship may deteriorate, and it is better to hide something.
"Shopkeeper Chen, I have to go back to report the good news to the prime minister, so I will leave first!"
Cao Ang said and stood up and bowed slightly to Chen Yang, and said, "As for the deposit recovered, I will arrange for someone to send it to you tomorrow." ”
With that, he departed.
Back at Cao's Mansion, before Cao Ang entered the door, he saw Cao Cao waiting anxiously by the door.
"Ziyu, what's the result? I've heard that a lot of people buy alcohol, how much does it cost? Cao Cao asked eagerly.
