Chapter Ninety-Three: Three Agreements, Do You Really Think You Earned It?
The best restaurant in Chang'an City, Moon Tower.
The square shape, the central patio can be seen to see a bright moon, hence the name.
Obviously, the owner of the restaurant is a cultural person, and the words and calligraphy and paintings of the poets of the previous dynasty are carved on the walls and in the corridors, which are full of style.
Today, however, the restaurant owner is a little confused.
What kind of wind blew the most powerful businessmen in Chang'an City?
Look at the left-hand position, which is the largest rice merchant king shopkeeper in the entire Hedong Province.
Next to him is Boss Liu, a well-known big timber merchant in Shannan Province.
Boss Zhang, who is in the starting position, is also not small, and it is said that he operates more than a dozen industries.
And the shopkeeper Li, the boss Chen, and the Moji firm ....... Everyone who takes it out can make the businessman's peers tremble.
When they gathered together, could it be that there was something big going on in Chang'an City?
The owner of the restaurant clearly only remembered that two days ago, a young man who was a little casual and lazy ate a few signature dishes in the restaurant, and then gave the largest private room to him.
The magnanimity of the shots is not comparable to the rich sons and brothers in Chang'an City.
He's coming!
The innkeeper clearly saw that the young man was with an equally young entourage, but the merchants in the room stood up in unison and saluted, his neck shrunk, and he slammed the door shut.
Don't look at what you shouldn't see, don't ask what you shouldn't ask, the rules on the road, understand.
"Everyone, you're welcome."
Li Ran was still casual and lazy, he didn't even take care of his hair, and his loose robe was no different from the second-rate people on the street, but the businessmen in front of him were nervous, and their expressions were shocked and excited without exception.
The name of the immortal master is like thunder.
Li Ran, as the representative of Cheng Ji Firm, negotiated conditions with them, which they did not expect.
However, in business, it doesn't matter what kind of immortal master he is, when it comes to the way of bargaining, they are experts!
The businessmen are full of confidence and must seek full benefits in the hands of Cheng Ji Firm...... The right to operate the new product is simply tempting.
Li Ran looked at it in his eyes, and just smiled slightly, that's right, it's purely the way of businessman, he can't play these old fritters, but for Mao, he wants to compare his shortcomings with the strengths of others?
Playing routines is the king.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the big owner of Cheng Ji has a little friendship with me, he wants to expand his business to Chang'an, but he is not familiar with life, so he wants to make friends with you, and everyone can make money together."
The opening remarks are a taboo in bargaining, how can there be a reason to expose his shortcomings, the businessmen looked at it in their eyes, and they all secretly laughed that he was really a chick.
"It's easy to say, Cheng Ji shop wants to enter Chang'an City, we welcome it tightly, as for the conditions of cooperation, we have Chang'an rules, Li Xianshi, please take a look."
A long document was presented, a mutual agreement that had been agreed upon by the merchants long ago.
At a cursory glance, Li Ran thought that he was holding Yuan Shikai's twenty-one ...... This kind of extremely unequal conditions, businessmen are also embarrassed to write on paper?
If it was in Luling, Li Ran would definitely throw the paperwork in their faces, and then put up his middle finger, let Cheng Bolai be hard, and directly beat the shops with a direct price war, and he would have to play like this if he was embarrassed.
It's a pity that this is Chang'an, one of the oldest cities in the land of China, and its size is not comparable to the small Luling County.
And unlike the barren land of Longyou Road, the production level here is completely self-produced and sold, and novelty goods alone cannot break the deep-rooted trade barriers.
Not to mention Cheng Ji's business, even if Wu Zetian comes in person, he may not be able to suppress these local snakes, although they are only businessmen, but they are also big landlords, and they also have the status of scholars, and they have contacts with officials at all levels of the imperial court.
In fact, Li Ran really planned to do so.
Industry reshuffle!
"I don't have an opinion on the agreement, but I have three conditions, and you have to agree."
Li Ran started the routine performance, and the businessmen were ecstatic when he opened his mouth.
Did the young man understand the agreement? That is to give away all the pricing rights, sales channels, and dividend rights of goods, which is equivalent to Cheng Ji Firm being reduced to a pure material supplier, and the majority of the profits are given to the local merchants in Chang'an City.
"It's easy to say, Cheng Ji is so refreshing, we are not stingy people, what conditions, just say."
The businessmen were a little embarrassed to take advantage of the advantage, and they all looked at each other, as long as the three conditions were not too much, what did it matter if they met this young man.
"This is the first, in order to increase the yield of potatoes and fairy rice, you have to take out the land to promote planting and reduce transportation costs, so that you can make more money, but the planting technology of these things must be kept secret, how much land and how many people you want, listen to me."
The businessmen immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and thought that under what conditions, it was a good thing to reduce costs, and there was no reason not to agree.
Besides, the land and manpower are theirs, how can there be any secret planting technology to speak of, just wait for the head to learn, and then take the opportunity to take back the planting rights, Cheng Ji Firm does not even guarantee the status of a supplier.
"The second condition, take out the tenant farmers to repair the official road between Chang'an and Liangzhou, half a year ago, the king of Luling has planted a batch of fairy rice and potatoes in Longyou Road, which has been widely acclaimed, but the foundation of that place is too weak, although a lot of new fertile land has been reclaimed, the output can not keep up with the demand, open up this sales channel, can make a lot of money."
Li Ran's second condition was exported, and the businessmen were not only relieved, but also moved with moist eyes.
What a good young man, he even thought of a way to help them make money, and agreed, it was necessary.
Tenant farmer or something, that's still called cost? At most, it costs a little money to cultivate the official road, but the wool is out of the sheep, so it can naturally be earned back from the Longyou Road.
"The third condition, ahem, is actually my personal request, and it has nothing to do with Cheng Ji firm."
Li Ran changed his words and said with a wry smile, "You should also know that I was ordered by the emperor to build a mausoleum, and when I first came to Chang'an City, I am not familiar with the place, and I don't know where to recruit craftsmen with good skills. ”
The last big stone in the hearts of the businessmen was put down, and they earned their reputation for helping others, and they didn't do too much every day.
Seeing that they nodded one after another, Li Ran also smiled, "In this case, adding these three articles to this agreement can be regarded as officially effective." ”
The routine was very smooth, and seeing the cheerful appearance of the businessmen signing and pressing their handprints, Li Ran, who left the restaurant, couldn't help laughing.
“…… Brother Ran, are you taking advantage again? ”
Pei Min looked confused, he had a feeling that his heart was being critted, and he felt like he was mentally retarded, otherwise, why couldn't he understand Li Ran's intentions twice in a row.
"The blood-earned kind."
Li Ran smiled, looked at his face like ashes, and decided to satisfy his curiosity, "You might as well think about it, is there anything in common among the three conditions I proposed?" ”
Pei Min was stunned, and suddenly slapped his thigh, "...... It's people! You're asking for someone from a businessman! ”
"Hey, you're quite quick to react, that's right, I'm just asking the merchants for tenant farmers and craftsmen, and besides, it's the kind of thief in large numbers."
A hint of sharpness flashed in Li Ran's eyes, "I have taken away the means of production, see how they play." ”
