Chapter 35, Song Cen Yue
Jiang Wei was surprised,
The woman looks middle-upper, but she is very temperamental, with the temperament of a successful woman, just like a proud white swan.
It was only after the woman's self-introduction that I learned that this woman was Song Jinmin's eldest daughter, Song Cen Yue, who was only sixteen years old, was the future head of the Song family, which was also the Tang Dynasty's atmosphere was quite open.
As for why Song Jinmin's daughter came out to be in charge, it is really Song Jinmin who has six daughters, but he has no son, and the desperate Song Jinmin has already accepted his fate, and he retreated to only ask for a son-in-law.
After the introduction, Jiang Wei nodded to Song Cen Yue with a smile, asked for a private room, and the two knelt at the desk across the aisle. After serving the tea, Song Cen Yue went straight to the topic,
"I don't know how much charcoal Jiang Gongzi needs in January?"
Jiang Wei thought for a while,
"For the first month, I need 500 jun."
Jun is a unit of weight, one pound is equivalent to ten catties, in Datang, one catty is equal to 660 grams.
But for Song Cen Yue, this is not a large amount, that is, a business of more than a dozen yuan.
"That's the lowest price I've ever given."
Jiang Wei calculated in his heart, but this is just the beginning, he still needs to recruit a large number of workers, and he may need more coke in the future, two catties of coal to smelt 1.5 catties of coke, this amount can not meet the needs of the Ministry of Industry for steelmaking.
"From the second month, do I need more than 5,000 jun?"
This is no longer a small number, Song Cen Yue looked at Jiang Wei curiously, she had heard of the disciples of the Immortal Family, and she also knew the magic of the other party.
The first time I did business with this immortal disciple, the first feeling I had was surprise.
Song Cen Yue smiled,
"The little woman wants to know, what is Jiang Gongzi using so much charcoal for?"
Jiang Wei still has a good impression of this lady of the Song family, after all, in this era, the status of women is not high, not to mention that it is even more difficult for a woman to show up and do business.
"I just need something special to make out of this coal."
Song Cen Yue was a little curious, I heard that the disciples of the immortal family all specialize in immortal arts, can this charcoal be used to refine a kind of immortal art?
Song Cen Yue didn't ask, since she had the opportunity to contact Jiang Wei, she didn't want to miss this opportunity to build a good relationship. Think about those who bought artificially incubated immortals, and the profits were several times, and she made this coal, which was really just some hard-earned money, and the profits were very thin. Of course, this is just one of several businesses run by the Song family.
Song Cen Yue thought about it, and then said,
"Since Jiang Gongzi has such a big demand, the little woman also gives a refreshing price, how about Erwen Qiyijun? At this price, the little woman barely makes any money. ”
Jiang Wei didn't do a good job, nodded, and didn't know if what the woman said was true or false, he didn't have any experience in bargaining, so he agreed,
"Yes,"
Then Song Cen Yue asked the middle-aged man behind him to take paper, ink, pen and inkstone and write down a contract document. Jiang Wei took it and looked at it, it was actually very concise.
That is, on a certain day, a certain month, and a certain year, so-and-so reached an agreement with so-and-so to purchase how many goods of so-and-so per month at what price. for one year.
Jiang Wei looked at the contract documents and suddenly thought of a question.
Why do you want to do such a troublesome thing? Thinking about it in the future, I will have to manage it, and I waste most of my time on it, and I am very resistant just thinking about it.
Jiang Wei thought about it carefully, put the document on the desk and did not sign.
Song Cen Yue glanced at Jiang Wei curiously.
"Is there anything dissatisfied with Jiang Gongzi?"
Jiang Wei shook his head, he wanted to take a sip of tea, but when he saw the greasy tea, he picked it up and put it down.
"I have a proposal."
Song Cen Yue frowned, but still smiled elegantly and calmly,
"Childe, please speak."
Jiang Wei pondered for a moment before continuing to speak,
"I need so much coal, I just want to make charcoal into coke. And I reached an agreement with the Ministry of Industry to sell the coke to the Ministry of Industry at a price of two and a half times the price of coal. ”
Song Cen Yue looked at Jiang Wei contemplatively, she didn't understand what Jiang Wei meant by suddenly saying this, was it because the profits were low?
Song Cen Yue frowned, and said with some displeasure,
"Jiang Gongzi, maybe you don't know very well, the price of charcoal on the market is three dollars and five pounds."
Jiang Wei shook his head, understanding what she meant, but this was not what he wanted to express,
"Mrs. Song misunderstood, I'm not dissatisfied with the price, but I want to cooperate with you."
"Cooperation?"
Song Cen Yue didn't understand what Jiang Wei meant,
Jiang Wei felt that he was really thirsty, and he couldn't drink the tea boiled in mutton fat in this era, so he had to ask Xiao Er to pour a cup of cold white water.
Picked up the teacup and took a sip of cold white water, feeling much more comfortable, Jiang Wei continued.
"Yes, cooperation. I provide the technology for coking carbon, cooperate with you, and when the time comes, I will only take 30% of the profit from the sale. Two catties of coal can refine one catty of coke. In the end, it was sold at two times the price of five, and I don't need to mention the profit, right? ”
Song Cen Yue looked at Jiang Wei with some surprise, and thought about it carefully, as if she had been opened the door to a new world, and for the first time found that the original business could still do this.
However, Song Cen Yue was still a little curious, and couldn't help asking,
"Jiang Gongzi is not worried about the little girl swallowing it alone in the end?"
Jiang Wei smiled,
"I believe that Song Niangzi will not be so short-sighted."
Song Cen Yue nodded, she really wouldn't be so short-sighted. Originally, such a small business did not need to be handled by her, but by the director of foreign affairs behind her. After all, this is just a small business for the wealthy businessman Song family.
Because she heard that the report was about a business with Jiang Wei, this attracted her attention.
"Since Jiang Gongzi has this sincerity, the little woman is not hypocritical, but the Ministry of Industry has to be matched by Jiang Gongzi."
Jiang Wei nodded,
"Nature."
In the end, the content of the cooperation was discussed, and Jiang Wei provided the technology and the contact of the Ministry of Industry. The Song family provides human, material, financial and other resources. Jiang Wei took three parts, and the Song family took seven parts.
Song Cen Yue smiled and rewrote a contract document.
Jiang Wei took it and looked at it, and added a little,
"I coke charcoal, not for coke, but for one of the things called toluene, which has nothing to do with coke. I want all the toluene to be in my private possession. On this point, I hope it would be better to write on the content as well. ”
Song Cen Yue frowned, she didn't know what toluene was, but it didn't mean that she was stupid.
"I don't know Jiang Gongzi, can the little woman understand what the toluene mentioned by Gongzi is used for? How much is the production? ”
Jiang Wei bit his lip, smiled bitterly, and said seriously,
"I think, it's better not to know about the use of Song Niangzi. As for the yield, it is just an accidental product of coking carbon, which is very scarce and has no yield to speak of. ”
Song Cen Yue saw that Jiang Wei refused to say it, nor did she force it, since it could not be mass-produced, it had nothing to do with interests, since this was the case, she didn't mind being a favor. She didn't want to be unhappy with Jiang Wei in the first cooperation, because of something that didn't know the role and the output was scarce, so she happily made up the agreement documents, and all the toluene obtained from coking carbon belonged to Jiang Wei.
