Volume 3 Spring and Autumn of the Pen Knife Chapter 327 Work for Cao Yi!

This ......" Liu Defa had an embarrassed expression, but what Cao Yi said was also reasonable, so he had to restrain his expression and said with a smile: "This is natural, I can understand Cao Gongzi's decision." ”

"Well, since our ugly words have been said in advance, then the next thing is to discuss how to cooperate, what does the head of the Liu family have about our cooperation?" Cao Yi took a chopstick dish and said while chewing.

"Uh...... Cao Gongzi, in fact, our Liu family has been doing salt transportation work before, and what we earn is only money from selling salt, or some fields related to it. The most left is to buy a large piece of residential land and fertile land, and the rest is just to invest money and partner with people, and do not participate in management, only collect dividends, such as this Mingyu Building, and the others really haven't been done, so I don't know what Cao Gongzi means, do you think it's going to run a drunken fairy building in Bianjing, or do we don't run a restaurant, just sell Taibai drunk and Qinglian wine to the major restaurants, or make it pure, get a store that only sells wine, and then take a limited supply, What kind of form do you think you want to operate? ”

"It's okay to do both, but I personally still prefer to simply sell alcohol, I don't have the energy and manpower to go to the capital to create the Drunken Immortal Building, do you mean that the two of us will cooperate and sell this wine together?"

"I want to cooperate, but I don't know your decision, Gongzi Cao?" Liu Defa said with a flattering smile on his face. Making money is part of it, but no matter how much money he makes, he doesn't have to make money from selling salt himself. Just by selling salt, they have brought shocking wealth to the Liu family, and it really reaches the level of his wealth, maybe this money is really just a number that fluctuates up and down, anyway, his generation can't use it anymore.

Liu Defa has been talking politely to Cao Yi, and even does not hesitate to pull down his face, which is nothing more than valuing the uniqueness and uniqueness of this wine. Salt, not to mention that Yangzhou is not his family's final say, there are other salt merchants, large and small, not to mention the entire salt gang, but there are four major families side by side, not that his Liu family is dominant.

What's more, whether it is the Lianghuai Salt Farm, Changlu Salt Farm, Lijin Salt Farm or Banpu Salt Farm, they are all large salt production fields, and the salt production is relatively large, and his Liu family currently only controls part of the Lianghuai Salt Farm, so there are different salt merchants in all parts of Dayan, and each salt merchant can transport salt to all parts of the country to sell and sell as long as there is salt, and it is not his monopoly.

But this is too white drunk and Qinglian wine is different, unlike table salt, even if you make it better in salt, it is nothing more than a little whiter and a little thinner, but the taste is actually almost the same. There are thousands of fine wines in the world, each with its own differences, but the taste and delicacy of this Taibai drunk and Qinglian wine are unique among the thousands of wines in the world.

Judging from Liu Defa's super experience in drinking and tasting wine for so many years, this is indeed the case, and it is not an exaggeration, Taibai drunk and Qinglian wine have definitely opened a big gap with other wines, and even these two kinds of wine, transported to the Western Regions and Daliao, will only be more popular, people over there like strong wines, but their wine-making process is relatively poor, so usually drinking good wine and fine wine is to buy from Da Yan, if Liu Defa can transport these wines to buy, then he will earn more than just money. It will also earn the relationships and goodwill of various powerful people.

The same is true in Bianjing, and even this wine can become a stepping stone for his Liu family to knock on the door of those high-ranking officials and nobles, so that on the basis of earth-shattering wealth, if he can increase his power, it would be better, and now no one in the Liu family is that kind of powerful, not even an official and a half-job.

Therefore, being able to get acquainted with powerful people is naturally the best for the Liu family, otherwise this wealth is rootless, without the slightest guarantee, and the collusion between officials and businessmen is the most stable. And now, this Taibai drunk and Qinglian wine have become the key to the development of the Liu family.

That's why Liu Defa is so dedicated to talking about cooperation with Cao Yi, hoping to get this rare strategic goods, or rare strategic resources, more securely.

"What I mean, I can sell all the extra wine to your Liu family, and then your Liu family will be fully responsible." Cao Yi glanced at Liu Defa and said lightly.

"Really?" Liu Defa asked in surprise, this was really unexpected by him.

"It's not really, it's still cooked." Cao Yi rolled his eyes and pouted and complained.

However, Liu Defa obviously couldn't understand Cao Yi's slots, he was just a little confused about what Cao Yi said, and he didn't know what it meant.

"Really, more real than real gold!" Cao Yi knew that he didn't fully understand when he looked at the expression on Liu Defa's face, so he added and explained.

Liu Defa rubbed his hands together with each other, looking a little obscene, "That's really good, I just don't know what conditions you have on your side, Gongzi Cao." ”

Cao Yi looked at Liu Defa and thought to himself that he was a reasonable person, knowing that it wouldn't be that simple, so he said: "I will sell both kinds of wine to your Liu family at half the market price, but I need to collect fifty percent of the profit after you resell, that is, no matter how your Liu family deals with this Taibai drunk and Qinglian wine, I need to collect fifty percent of the profit." ”

"Fifty percent?" Liu Defa's eyes flickered, obviously thinking about the gains and losses here.

He knew that Cao Yi was betting on the profit from the wine sold by their Liu family at the end, at least more than double the market price, because only if it was more than double the market price, Cao Yi would not lose money, and then the higher he sold, the more Cao Yi would earn. But in this way, it became that their Liu family was working for Cao Yi, and Cao Yi didn't give anything, which was equivalent to just investing half the money in the market.

However, if you calculate it this way, because the Liu family only needs to pay half of the money, and Cao Yi receives half of the money, so from the perspective of input costs, the Liu family and Cao Yi each pay half of the wine money, and then the Liu family is fully responsible for the transportation and sales of various channels, and then half of the net profit earned in the end will be divided with Cao Yi......

It is equivalent to two people joining forces to do business, each contributing half of the money, but the first person is responsible for the follow-up management of the business and everything, and the second person does not have to do anything, but the final profit is divided in half. Now that's what Cao Yi and Liu Defa are talking about. Under normal circumstances, whoever wants to do this business will definitely be unwilling.

But for Liu Defa, now the form is stronger than people, Taibai drunk and Qinglian wine can be completely firmly held in Cao Yi's hands, he said that whoever he cooperates with is who he cooperates with, and he says that the price of shipment is the price of shipment.

The initiative is completely in Cao Yi's hands, so Cao Yi has the confidence to make this kind of request that seems "very unreasonable". Cao Yi looked at Liu Defa with an embarrassed look on his face, as if he was about to refuse, but he was not worried that this would happen at all, and still looked at Liu Defa quietly, patiently waiting for his reply.

Cao ...... Cao Gongzi, you don't know, in fact, in my original plan, some of the wine in it was not for sale, and some of it was given to those high-ranking officials and powerful people......" Liu Defa said embarrassedly.

Cao Yi smiled lightly and said with relief: "This is actually not a big problem, you just need to count the total amount of wine and how many jars you give to high-ranking officials and magnates, calculate it according to the price you set, and finally supplement it to me." For example, if you give a total of 3,000 jars of Qinglian wine to high-ranking officials and dignitaries in the capital, and your price in the capital is 300 taels of silver for one jar of Qinglian wine, then it is equivalent to selling 3,000 jars for 3,000 taels of silver...... You can understand me when I say that......"

"Understand...... Understand! Liu Defa wiped the sweat from his forehead. In this way, it is even more confirmed that the Liu family works for Cao Yi to make money.

Forget it, I can't bear the child to catch the wolf, since my Liu family really needs these two kinds of wine very much now, then this money is nothing more than to make a little less, the big deal is to make a little more money in other places to make up for the losses here, Liu Defa made a plan in his heart.

"Master Cao, it's okay, I promise you! I just don't know exactly how much this additional production is? Liu Defa looked at Cao Yi and asked.

Cao Yi smiled faintly and said: "Actually, it's not much, the extra is 50,000 altars of Taibai drunk every month, and 20,000 altars of Qinglian wine......

Liu Defa secretly swallowed his saliva, isn't that enough? Originally, I thought that each of them only had an output of more than 10,000 yuan, but if this was the case, then I would definitely be able to make a lot of money by making some money, and I could also gain the friendship and recognition of those big people and even powerful families, which was absolutely beneficial to the Liu family!
