Chapter Ninety-One: Mi Zhu Zhi, Wealth Rolling In
"Villain Mi Zhu, meet the fairy"
Mi Zhu respectfully bowed to Lin Xu, he was just a wealthy businessman in Xuzhou, and he naturally didn't dare to have the slightest disrespect to Lin Xu, the immortal beside the emperor.
"Zizhong don't want to be polite, please get up quickly."
This is the temporary person in charge of business that he has planned, and all the food and clothing of the free house in the future, as well as the financial needs of Lin Xu's series of activities in the future, will depend on him.
"I don't know if the Lord of the Immortals summoned the villains to come, and there is a place to send them?"
After the two sides sat down, Mi Zhu was excited and decisively opened his mouth to ask, he had heard of the name of this immortal in Xuzhou, a word of life and death, a word of peace and wealth, rich he has, it is very expensive! And looking at the appearance, his chance to be a Mi family has come!
"Naturally, I have business to talk to Zizhong"
Lin Xu took a sip of tea, his attitude was very kind, and there was not the slightest contempt or contempt in his eyes, which made Mi Zhu very useful
"How dare you, Lord Qixian, if you have any orders, as long as the villain can do it, you will not refuse!"
Mi Zhu was very serious, in his opinion, Lin Xu had nothing else to do with him, ninety percent was for money, maybe it was for His Majesty to ask for money, after all, he knew that the money and grain consumed by the Northern Huns in this formation were not a lot at all, and now he had to prepare for the annual meeting, worship ancestors and other major events, but they all asked for money. It just so happens that he has nothing else, but money. Even he had already made a decision, no matter how much Lin Xu asked for this time, it would be to hollow out his family, and he would grit his teeth and admit it!
No matter how much money you have, you can't buy dignity, you can't buy a prominent background, even if Liu Hong sold his official position at the beginning, he Mi Zhu didn't mean that he couldn't afford it, but he saw it thoroughly, and it was useless to buy it, those families, the literati children would only despise him even more, and it couldn't change the situation that no one in his Mi family entered the official career and was despised. But now it's different, on the line of the immortal, you can't be a civil official, or a military general, as long as you can get rid of the identity of a businessman, you can do anything.
"Look at what Zizhong said, I really have a good business and want to cooperate with Zizhong and make a lot of money together."
Lin Xu was a little helpless, as for putting his posture so low, it was as if he Lin Xu came to him just to ask for money, let's prepare for business cooperation, okay, mutual benefit and win-win results.
Mi Zhu was shocked when he heard this, hearing this meaning, the fairy seemed to be going to do business, this is amazing, the children of this family, high-ranking officials and nobles have always been ashamed of business, let alone business.
"That~, I don't know what advice the Immortal Master has?"
"Salt, are you interested? I have a method of making sea salt, which is low cost, high efficiency, good condition, and definitely a good business, how about it? Do you want to work together? ”
Mi Zhu's eyes lit up when he heard this, but he quickly fell silent
"Lord Qixian, this salt is a government monopoly, and we really don't dare to meddle in it."
If you want to talk about how to buy and sell and make money in this era, there is nothing else, it is salt and iron! But these two things are official camps, private people dare to stretch out their claws, and they are chopped off in minutes, now is not the chaotic period of the princes of the Three Kingdoms, Liu Hong is not dead.
"I'll talk to Your Majesty about this, it should be a government-private partnership at that time, of course, the government will definitely take the lion's share, but with me behind my back, you can make a profit, and it will definitely not be less."
Lin Xu didn't know about the salt and iron official camp, but was this a problem? Not at all, why do you want to run the government, in the final analysis, it doesn't ask for money, now as long as the government-private partnership is allowed, I can give you greater benefits, much greater benefits, will Liu Hong refuse? Ninety percent of them won't.
Lin Xu has thought about the plan, Liu Hong doesn't have to do anything, as long as he supports the field, he will share fifty percent of the profits, and the guaranteed money is higher than the income of his monopoly now. Mi Zhu contributed money and efforts, made a one-stop production and sales, and shared the rest of the profits with Lin Xu, who produced technology, and the three parties were very happy.
Mi Zhu pondered for a moment, and felt that this thing was capable, as long as the emperor could nod his head, he Mi Zhu would not earn a penny, and it would be no problem at all, because this can be said to be working for the emperor, how can it be regarded as a half slave of the royal family, with this relationship, who will give him a face at will in the future! The question now is whether the salt production method of the immortals is reliable.
"If Your Majesty can agree, the villain will naturally do his best to serve the immortals."
"Okay, this is the general refining method of sea salt, you collect it first, I don't remember the specific refining process very clearly, you find someone to slowly explore and improve it."
Lin Xu reached out and took out a piece of white paper from his arms and handed it to Mi Zhu.
After Mi Zhu was stunned for a moment, he took it with his dignified hands, took a small amount of it, and carefully put it in his arms.
"Zizhong thinks, how is this paper?"
"Exquisite, the best in the world."
Mi Zhu looked cautious, he was a rich businessman, and he used a lot of paper, but he had never seen the one with better quality than he thought about it in his arms.
"Then Yi Zizhong thinks that this kind of paper is worth?"
"100 bucks!"
Mi Zhu is not a master of business, and he only made a slight measurement in his heart and came to a conclusion.
Lin Xu raised his eyebrows when he heard this, is this thing so valuable, now the price of grain in Luoyang is thirty-eight yuan and one stone, according to this calculation, just one piece of paper can be exchanged for nearly three stones of grain! That's about two months' rations for an adult. It seems that it is a loss to use this kind of paper to print books for those animals.
"Cheng, a hundred dollars is a hundred dollars, first with you 100,000 pieces, how about you and I divide it into three or seven?"
"How dare you, how dare you"
Mi Zhu panicked when he heard it, three or seven points, he still has the life to take this money? It's not that it's too little, but it's too high, according to his normal situation, selling goods on behalf of the official's family, at most, it's just half of the profit, just make up for the labor expenditure and the loss of goods, take 30%! I'm afraid that this immortal is not going to unload the mill and kill the donkey.
"It is a blessing for a villain to be able to serve the immortals, how dare you ask for a share."
"What? Too little? ”
Lin Xu is not happy, businessmen are greedy, and they are not so greedy, the profit of three percent is not low, 100,000 pieces of paper is 10 million yuan, you Mi Zhu can help sell it, you can get 3 million yuan, it is too little!
"No, no, Lord Qixian misunderstood, I sell goods on behalf of the government on weekdays, but I only collect half of the profit, and now I dare to ask for a huge profit of three percent."
Mi Zhu saw that Lin Xu's expression didn't look like he was playing tricks on himself, so he hurriedly explained.
"So low"
Lin Xu was shocked, only half of it, what do you still have to earn? I'll go, are the merchants of this age so conscientious?
"Twenty percent, half of it, you don't have to make any money at all, if you don't do it, you have to take money to get in, and this paper is not easy to preserve."
Since Mi Zhu is so sincere, Lin Xu naturally will not really let him suffer, and it is possible for the two sides to continue to cooperate with a win-win situation, although with his power, even if he doesn't give a penny, the other party has to work for him obediently, and even has to be grateful to him, but compared to other bells and whistles, it is still really good to give benefits.
Seeing that Lin Xu said very seriously, Mi Zhu also confirmed that the other party was not trying to trap him, and his heart couldn't help but feel hot, since he took over the Mi family's business, the officials of the Han Dynasty either wanted to oppress him or make his money, and none of them would really think about their interests.
"There's another good thing, I want to ask Zizhong for help"
"It's okay to say it's immortal"
Didn't my Han conquer the Northern Xiongnu this time, and got a lot of furs, sheep and horses, etc., I want to ask Zizhong to send someone to take over and clean them up quickly.
Mi Zhu's eyes lit up when he heard this, but he was a little worried, he was worried that these things were Lin Xu's greed for ink, he hadn't seen this kind of thing. Or rather, it is not uncommon for the military to secretly withhold the booty and resell it to these merchants.
"Your Majesty~"
"I've agreed, but we'll have to negotiate the price."
"Lord Qixian is serious, you can just open your mouth for the price."
Lin Xu waved his hand when he heard this, and he knew that he wanted to send money to himself by looking at Mi Zhu's appearance
"Let's talk about the price of ordinary horses and sheep first"
"About 17,000 yuan for chariots and horses, about 36,000 yuan for war horses, and about 400 yuan for sheep"
"Well, that's good"
Lin Xu touched his chin, the businessmen of this year are indeed quite conscientious compared to those profiteers in later generations, according to the selling price he learned from Dasi Nong: the chariot and horse are only 10,000 yuan, the war horse is 20,000 yuan, and the sheep are 250 yuan, but these are all living creatures, and eating and drinking are also an expense, so on the whole, this price is very fair. At this price, after handing over the money to Liu Hong, he can still make a lot of money.
"Okay, according to the price you just said, all the spoils of this strangulation by the Huns will be given to you"
"What!"
Mi Zhu was so frightened that he almost didn't jump
All!
"It's rude and rude, and I ask Lord Qixian to forgive me"
Mi Zhu, who came back to his senses, wiped his sweat and quickly got up to confess to Lin Xu.
"No, what do you mean? How? Want to change the price? ”
"No, no, I~, alas, what the fairy just said refers to all the spoils of the Northern Huns?"
Mi Zhu was a little anxious, thinking that the loot on Lin Xu's mouth was just a gift from the emperor to him, or he had won it himself, but the ghost knew that it was all of it!
"yes, what's the problem?"
Lin Xu is quite a fan now, what the hell is this Mi Zhu
"I thought that the loot that Lord Qixian said was just a little, but I didn't think it was all, this~"
Now Mi Zhu is also wiping his sweat, fortunately he is telling the truth, and he did not deliberately increase the price because he wanted to flatter Lin Xu, otherwise he would have lost to death. Because the amount is too large, according to his estimates, the Han family will carry out carpet strangulation and arrest of Qianghu this time, and the horses will not be less than 100,000, which is still excluding the war horses that have not been hurt too much, and the sheep will have to start at least 300,000, plus other furs, it seems that his family can't eat it at all.
"What? But what's the problem? ”
Lin Xu asked with a frown
"To tell you the truth, my family alone can't come up with such a huge amount of money"
Mi Zhu couldn't hold his face a little, this cake is big enough, but unfortunately it is too big, he will choke to death when he takes a bite.
"Oh~, little things, little things"
When Lin Xu heard this, he was relieved, and he thought what was the matter, so he waved his hand and said heroically
"Give one money first, I can pay your majesty, and the rest, after you sell these goods, you can give it again."
He didn't worry at all that Mi Zhu would run away with the goods, first, he didn't have the guts, and second, he didn't have the place to run if he wanted to. Don't panic, don't panic at all.
When Mi Zhu heard this, his eyes were slightly red, he didn't expect this fairy to look up to himself so much, after all, this is a lot of money, although it is impossible for him to run away with the goods, but take the goods first and then give the money, there are many places that can be operated, and they will move hundreds of millions of dollars casually.
"In this way, it will live up to the trust of the immortals!"
In fact, it's not like this kind of thing that no one has ever done when he went to the battlefield to buy loot before, but since he was killed and robbed by the ** in the army after several waves of killing people and taking money by the way, no businessman dared to do it anymore, because no one could find out. Businessmen with backstage are all in love to make less money, and they go through formal official channels to acquire. But now, with Lin Xu, an immortal who can predict the future and understand people's hearts, who dares to do it? Risking being discovered by the immortals for some money is not worth it, it will kill people.
