Volume 3 Pen Knife Spring and Autumn Chapter 568 Huang Man'er
Early in the morning of the second day, Cao Yi took Liu Baiqing to visit Liu Defa, the richest man in Yangzhou.
"Master Cao, I haven't seen him for more than a month, and his demeanor is even better than in the past!" Liu Defa said with a smile.
"Haha, the head of the Liu family has a good reputation, you are the undiminished majesty, but I can admire it!" Cao Yi looked at the four young women who were waiting on the side, and said meaningfully.
"Hahaha!" Liu Defa shook his head while laughing.
"Gongzi Cao, you plan to stay in Yangzhou City for a few more days this time?"
Cao Yi put down the tea cup in his hand and shook his head: "I'll leave for Hangzhou tomorrow, this time I'm just passing by, to see how the development of Zuixian Mansion is, and the other is to visit the head of the Liu family." ”
Liu Defa's expression moved: "Is Cao Gongzi planning to drive the Drunken Immortal Tower to Hangzhou?" ”
"Well, the restaurant over there is about to open, I'll go over and press the scene, and then leave when everything goes well!"
"In this way, Cao Gongzi came to see me on the way, and it also made the old man feel that there was light on his face!"
Cao Yi smiled and excused himself: "This time I came to meet the head of the Liu family, in fact, I asked for something to ask for!" ”
Liu Defa showed a surprised look on his face: "Oh? Cao Gongzi has no problem talking about it, if I can help, I will definitely help! ”
Cao Yi shook his head: "Master Liu, you once wanted to get the agency of Huayu Soap from my side before......
"That's right, last time I was politely rejected by Mr. Cao, I haven't had any thoughts about this anymore, what's the matter? Could it be that you ...... Gongzi Cao," Liu Defa asked tentatively.
"Hmmm! I plan to authorize the agency of Huayu Soap to your Liu family, but the head of the Liu family, I want someone from your side! ”
Liu Defa's eyes flickered, and his heart was dark, this Cao Yi was so generous to give away the agency of Huayu soap, which was basically a golden mountain.
As the richest man in Yangzhou, he naturally knows that Huayu soap and those two kinds of wine are all hard currency, as long as there is a steady stream of goods, he is basically lying down to make money. Previously, he also made a special request for agency on this matter, but Cao Yi rejected it very decisively, and now he took the initiative to send it for one person.
This made Liu Defa a little unclear for a while, what else is there on his side who is worthy of Cao Yi's attention?
"Master Cao, you might as well tell me who you want first?" Liu Defa couldn't figure out who Cao Yi wanted for a while, he thought left and right, but he didn't think out that there were any important people on his side that Cao Yi knew.
"Huang Man'er!"
"Huh?" Liu Defa repeated in surprise.
"Master Liu, you heard it right, it's Huang Man'er!"
Liu Defa showed a self-deprecating smile on his face and shook his head: "Childe, if you want him, then there is no problem at all, I will call him over now." ”
"The head of the Liu family is slow, before calling Huang Man'er over, let's first negotiate the matter of this flower language soap agent."
"Good! Cao Gongzi, please speak! ”
"Master Liu, Huayu soap is not the same as Taibai drunk and Qinglian wine, first of all, it is small in size, easy to transport, and the number of single shipments is extremely large! From a business point of view, the shipping costs are extremely low compared to those two wines! Cao Yi said lightly with a confident smile on his face.
Liu Defa pondered, he already understood what Cao Yi wanted to express, as the richest man in Yangzhou, he naturally had his own bearing and mind, and nodded at the moment: "Cao Gongzi is right, if you look at the transportation cost, Huayu soap will be much cheaper than Qinglian wine and Taibai drunk, and correspondingly, the profit will be much higher." ”
"Master Liu, now I have two ideas, one of them is that Huayu soap will be given to you at half the market price, and the profit will be divided between you and me, or in half, but you will give me an agency fee of one million taels of silver every year."
Cao Yi interrupted Liu Defa, who originally wanted to speak, and continued: "Master Liu, don't be in a hurry to make a judgment first, at first glance, this profit will definitely not reach a million taels at the beginning, but you have to think that with the popularization and distribution of Huayu soap, when the time comes, if the whole Dayan is using Huayu soap, ......"
Cao Yi's voice seemed to have a hint of magic: "When the time comes, you will sell as much as the whole world needs...... And I can promise you that your agency is exclusive, and there will be no third one to sell this ...... except for my own Taibai Chamber of Commerce that is on sale."
Liu Defa's open mouth closed again, his eyes narrowed, the business sea has been up and down for so many years, he has no shortage of vision and courage, flower language soap, very profitable, but what he values more is the exclusive agency!
No matter what it is, as long as it is monopolized, it is a steady stream of wealth.
Liu Defa's eyes flickered and he had already made a decision: "Young Master Cao, I will choose the second one!" ”
"Good! The head of the Liu family really has the courage, you take a look at it here, no problem, we will sign an agreement! Cao Yi took a stack of papers from Liu Baiqing, obviously prepared it, and handed it to Liu Defa.
Liu Defa showed a wry smile on his face, this Cao Yi is really calculating step by step, is it possible that he has already calculated his decisions before he comes?
After receiving the agreement handed over by Cao Yi, Liu Defa carefully browsed it to confirm that there was no problem, and then raised his head to look at Cao Yi who was tasting tea with a complicated look.
"Cao Gongzi! Do you have an agreement to prepare the first plan? ”
Cao Yi smiled and shook his head: "No, I think smart people will choose the second option, and the head of the Liu family is definitely the smartest person, so I only prepared the second one." ”
"Gongzi Cao...... Sure enough, it is a dragon and phoenix among people, compared to Cao Gongzi, this dog is simply a mud that can't support the wall......"
"The head of the Liu family has an overreputation, there is no tiger in the door, some people are late bloomers, and the future of the prince is not easy to say......"
During the chat, Cao Yi and Liu Defa signed the agreement on Huayu soap, signed each other, and stamped their personal seals.
"Call Huang Man'er over!" Liu Defa said to the nursing home guarding the door, and the latter took the order and left.
"Master, are you looking for me?" A deep voice with a Western Regions accent sounded outside the door, it was the Huang Man'er that Cao Yi wanted.
"Hmmm! Huang Man'er, since I bought you from the slave traders in the Western Regions, have I been good to you? Liu Defa looked at Huang Man'er and asked.
Huang Man'er was stunned for a moment, and her blue eyes showed a hint of surprise, but she still responded: "The head of the family is naturally very good to me, to paraphrase the master of the family, you Han broad and profound idioms, the scholar dies for the confidant, and the life here is very good, I am a little happy......
"Okay, Huang Man'er, let me ask you, I will give you to this Cao Gongzi now, are you willing?" Liu Defa looked at Huang Man'er and asked.
"This ......" Huang Man'er's eyes widened like copper bells, looked at Liu Defa, and then glanced at Cao Yi, and then said in an urn voice: "Man'er's life is all the head of the family, the head of the family let me give birth to me, and the head of the family let me die, not to mention just giving it away, I think the head of the family must have a reason to give me to this son......"
Huang Man'er's words made Cao Yi and Liu Baiqing's eyes shine, so it seems that this Huang Man'er is not the kind of black Li Kui's wild appearance, or thick and fine, at least this remark is very level.
"Good, good!" Liu Defa's face was also full of smiles at the moment, and what Huang Man'er said just now really made him feel that there was light on his face.
"Huang Man'er, I'll tell you the truth, I'm also very reluctant to send you out, but this time it was Cao Gongzi who asked you by name, and he exchanged you for something I couldn't refuse, do you know what you changed?"
Huang Man'er shook his head: "Man'er is ignorant and doesn't know ......"
"Ten million taels! Silver! Liu Defa said slowly, but the short six words shook Huang Man'er's ears, brain, and heart like a thunderbolt.
"What...... What the!? Huang Man'er had an incredible expression on his face.
A complicated smile appeared on Cao Yi's face, this Liu Defa is really right, although the agency of Huayu soap is very valuable, but it is 10 million taels of silver...... It is estimated that it will take at least seven or eight years or even more than ten years to earn it......
However, I asked Huang Man'er to give the agency of Huayu soap to the Liu family, which is indeed a hammer deal, and it is worth 10 million taels, although it has changed the concept, but it is not wrong.
"It's this Cao Gongzi, exchange 10 million taels of silver with me for you, from today on, your master will become him......" Liu Defa pointed at Cao Yi and said.
Huang Man'er's blue eyes flickered, and then he knelt on one knee, put his right hand into a fist at the position of his heart, and lowered his head: "Huang Man'er greets his master!" ”
"Okay, hurry up!" Cao Yi hurriedly stepped forward to help Huang Man'er up, this Huang Man'er is not only strong and strong, but more importantly, he is originally from the Western Regions, which will be of great help to Cao Yi to go to the Western Regions for development in the future!
"Congratulations to Gongzi Cao for winning the talent, this Huang Man'er, it turned out to be my left arm and right arm, and my safety depends on his protection, this time I was replaced by Gongzi Cao, I have to hurry up and buy a few more nursing homes." Liu Defa congratulated at a touch.
"Hahaha, thank you to the head of the Liu family for cutting the ......" Cao Yi responded with a smile on the side, and after his death, he turned his head and asked: "Huang Man'er, there is something you need to pack or take away here, I will leave Yangzhou for Hangzhou tomorrow morning......"
"Master, I don't have anything to bring, it's just a scimitar, which I brought out of the slave camp, which has a very important significance, and everything else is something outside my body......" Huang Man'er shook his head and said.
"Okay, then you go back and pack up the important things first, and we'll leave after a stick of incense!" Cao Yi was in a very good mood and said with a smile.
"Yes!" Huang Man'er bowed his head and retired.
After Huang Man'er left, Cao Yi looked at Liu Defa with a strange face, and asked, "Master Liu, what ......is that?" Huang Man'er is here with you...... The monthly salary is not high......"
"Ahem...... Liu Defa coughed and explained: "Actually...... It's still quite high, one hundred taels of silver a month...... And he never goes out to spend money much, so the money is saved...... It's just that since Cao Gongzi handed over Taibai Drunk and Qinglian Wine to me as an agent, I gave him a few jars of ......"
Then he became addicted, so he gave me all the thousands of taels of silver he had saved, saying that he would ...... drink in exchange for wine."
"I see......"
