Chapter 217: Use your own resources
Wuyan Lang was silent for a long time.
Under Zhang Yuan's anxious gaze, he raised his head.
Zhang Yuan saw the image of a shrewd businessman, cunning and wise.
"Master Hou, the villain can agree."
Wuyan Lang thought about it for so long, and finally agreed to Zhang Yuan's request.
Zhang Yuan was overjoyed, he originally thought that this matter would not go so smoothly.
"Well, tomorrow the Japanese Marquis will send someone to your shop to exchange copper coins.
Replace all the five baht coins that have been made. ”
Wuyan Lang smiled, stood up and took a step closer to Zhang Yuan's position.
"Master Hou, the villain has a request."
Things are going so smoothly, Wu Yanlang can understand even if he has some requirements, Zhang Yuan.
"Say it."
"The villain hopes to exchange 5 baht according to 80% of the exchange rate of Qingpingfang."
What is called greed, Zhang Yuan knows it.
Or take 100 million copper coins as an example, if Zhang Yuan agrees to Wuyan Lang's request, then he can get the principal of 100 million at a cost of 80 million.
Assuming that all the 100 million copper coins can be released in the end, the actual income of Wuyan Lang in the end is 125 million five-baht coins.
This profit has exceeded 50 percent, far exceeding the profit of all the sub-money families of the Han Dynasty now.
And Wuyan Lang is not worried about whether the five baht money can be released.
In Qingpingfang, he can exchange five baht for gold, and if he can't let him go and exchange it for gold, Zhang Yuan will still lose money.
Horizontal and vertical left and right without salt Lang will not lose money, in such a short period of time, he has already calculated everything.
"The head of the saltless family has already asked people to check Qingpingfang yesterday, right?"
Zhang Yuan didn't tell Wuyan Lang that there was still an exchange ratio, Wuyan Lang definitely knew about Qingpingfang, so he could make a plan that would benefit him and do no harm.
"Master Hou misunderstood, I heard yesterday that the paper in Qingpingfang is much cheaper.
My sub-money Zhuangzi consumes no less paper than those who read on weekdays, so I specially sent someone to buy more.
The people who put our money are more sensitive to other new things than others, and the people at the bottom also told the villain about the exchange of copper coins after they came back from buying paper. ”
"Oh? I see.
The head of the saltless family thought that Ben Hou would be able to succeed in the end? ”
"The villain thinks that since Hou Ye has appeared in the villain's mansion, he should be able to make a judgment."
When it comes to business, Wuyan Lang doesn't have the deferential appearance he just had just now.
To talk about business is to put both parties on an equal footing, and without this precondition, then there will be a loss of interest to one person.
Who wants to see their own interests suffered.
"Eighty percent is too low.
Ben Hou came with sincerity.
Since the head of the saltless family is not sincere, there is no need for Ben Hou to continue to stay here.
The dessert is very delicious, and the owner of the salt-free family should not forget to send the chef who made this dessert to Xin'an Houfu. ”
Compared with Heng, Zhang Yuan is still afraid of a loan shark?
Wuyan Lang thought that Zhang Yuan couldn't do without him, but Zhang Yuan didn't eat such a set at the moment.
"Master Hou, we are the only ones who put money in the internal history of Chang'an.
The rest of the business people can't get around our saltless clan! ”
"Are you threatening Benhou?"
"How dare the villain threaten Master Hou."
"Man Chang'an doesn't have a second family to release money, so can't Ben Hou let it go?"
"Master Hou!"
Zhang Yuan has already made up his mind to put the money on his own since he said that 80% of the ratio was 80 percent.
Just like what Wuyan Lang said, there is only his family in the entire Inner History Realm, the Qian family.
Zhang Yuan is not afraid of the Wuyan family, and the Wuyan family charges 25% interest.
Zhang Yuan's purpose is to promote the five-baht coin, and he can only charge 5/1000 as the minimum loss guarantee.
Do you dare to do without salt? If he collects five thousandths, he can't even pay the royal dividends.
This 25 percent interest must be the proportion obtained after balancing the interests of all parties, so that everyone involved can make money.
Zhang Yuan didn't have this worry, and Liu Che wouldn't have to meddle in Zhang Yuan's business for such a little bit.
Besides, the income brought by the paper and coal business to the royal family must be higher than the dividends of the Wuyan clan.
"What's wrong?"
"Master Hou, I'm afraid your identity is not suitable for this kind of business."
"Ben Hou didn't say that he was going to end up in person."
Wuyan Lang suddenly felt that the sky was dark, and he had forgotten how the nobles operated.
Zhang Yuan could have sent out a bunch of merchants to give him money, and the store didn't need to be rented anymore.
Paper shops are located all over the Inner Historical Territory, and there are also shops in other counties.
"How much profit does Master Hou plan to draw? Competing with the people is not a good thing. ”
This sentence is the most common sentence of Confucianism attacking Sang Hong Yang, just a person who has been scolded for more than a thousand years for competing with the people for profit, and Sang Hong Yang is also unlucky enough.
"Ben Hou is not as greedy as you, otherwise he would not have come to you Wuyan first.
But it must be less than 10 percent, don't worry, Ben Hou doesn't plan to make money by putting money. ”
Wuyan Lang was even more confused, if Zhang Yuan really did this, unless the entire Inner History Realm did not use five baht money, and no one went to trade with five baht money, Zhang Yuan might lose all his money.
This possibility is indeed possible, but Zhang Yuan has already thought of a countermeasure for the time being.
The gold-swallowing beast of the paper mill is in his hands, and Zhang Yuan is still worried that no one will use five baht money?
After going back, he immediately revised the rules of Qingpingfang, only charged five baht for money, and did it with the sub-money business.
Selling paper is aimed at those who are not short of money, so that they can get used to using five baht.
Lending is aimed at those who are short of money, so that they have to use five baht.
Zhang Yuan came to Wuyan's place today, which is worth it.
The Saltless Clan taught him how to use the resources at his disposal.
The Wuyan clan has no second son of the Qian family in the realm of self-sustaining internal history, which is why it is so fearless.
Now there is no second merchant who sells paper in the whole Han Dynasty, Zhang Yuan does not his tail to the sky, he is sorry for the resources in his hands.
It's not that for so long, no one has been able to imitate paper.
It's just that those imitations don't have a formula, and the quality of the paper is not as good as Zhang Yuan's. Love Net
The most important thing is that because the paper mill has half of Liu Che's share, the rest of the paper sellers in the entire Han Dynasty are doing shady business.
"Don't forget the chef who makes desserts."
Zhang Yuan looked at Wuyan Lang who was on the side, reminded him coldly, and then left the front hall with steps.
With Zhang Yuan's current capital, he will definitely not be able to quickly promote the circulation of five baht coins.
Just now Zhang Yuan also figured out one thing, the richest businessman in Dahan is not Wuyan's family, and the richest man in Dahan today is Zhang Yuan's father-in-law who has no name.
After coming out of Wuyan's family, Zhang Yuan went to Qingpingfang and asked Lao Zhao to close the store directly.
I didn't care about the crowd outside at all, and Zhang Yuan didn't care about those gossips, anyway, they would be even more annoyed after forcing these people to buy paper with five baht tomorrow.
After closing Qingpingfang, Zhang Yuan took Lao Zhao and a bunch of account merchants directly back to Xin'anhou Mansion.
Some people in the Beique Jiadi District have already noticed Zhang Yuan's inexplicable move.
Although each family has dealings with some businessmen, it is really rare for Zhang Yuan to blatantly bring more than a dozen businessmen back to his house, and even if there is, he will hide it.
After Wuyan Lang learned the news, his heart suddenly cooled by half.
However, in order to rescue him at the end, he changed his outfit and went to Jianzhang Palace secretly.
He definitely won't see Liu Che, but Liu Che has an agency in charge of businessmen in his hands, and Sang Hongyang came from this institution.
Everyone in this group has the title of an official, but none of them have a serious official position.
Sang Hongyang is an official servant, accompanying Liu Che and taking care of his business.
There are several kinds of royal business, the inner treasury is under the jurisdiction of the Shaofu, and there are also those under the jurisdiction of the Great Agricultural Order, and some other unsightly businesses are managed by Sang Hongyang.
It can't be said that it is unseemly, but the emperor will be criticized by the people for occupying a share in some businesses, so he hides it.
It just so happened that the person who came to see Wuyan Lang was Sang Hongyang.
There are not many people who accompany Liu Che to read, and there is one person who is more dazzling than Sang Hongyang at the moment, and that is Huo Quzhi.
At this moment, the children around Liu Che are also famous in history.
Now Sang Hongyang is in his twenties, and he has served Liu Che for more than ten years, and he has won Liu Che's trust.
"What is the important thing for the head of the saltless family to enter the palace this time?"
Sang Hongyang, who is in his twenties, has a calm expression, and he has seen a lot of dangers in the world in the past ten years, and the tragedy of the palace struggle has made this young man tenacious and extraordinary.
"Xin'an Hou Zhang Yuan intends to get involved in the Ziqian business, and today the villain learned that he wants to open a Zhuangzi in the Inner History Realm.
If that's the case, forget it, but Xin Anhou doesn't intend to make a profit in the business, and the interest on our business is 25%.
And Xin Anhou said that if he released the money, he would never charge more than 10% interest, and if he really did this, our business would not be able to sustain. ”
Wuyan Lang was very anxious, and he also looked very humble in front of the young man.
Sang Hongyang thought about it for a while, and then found a loophole in Wuyan Lang's words.
"Xin Anhou has contacted you in advance?"
Wuyan Lang knew that he couldn't hide it, so he immediately nodded.
"What did he say when he approached you?"
Xin'an Hou minted a new copper coin and wanted the villain to help promote it, but the villain refused.
So Xin'anhou wanted to run on and ruin our business. ”
Sang Hongyang frowned, he was really a little disgusted with Wuyan Lang, opening and closing his mouth is all our business.
Although Sang Hongyang was born as a businessman, his ambition since he was a child was to become a general and a lord.
In addition, after staying in the palace for so many years, he looked down on these businessmen from the bottom of his bones, and if it wasn't for Liu Che's needs, he would not be too lazy to deal with these businessmen.
"That's your business, not ours.
I don't think you're telling the truth, although I haven't been in contact with Xin Anhou, but I also know a thing or two about his personality.
I will explain to Your Majesty what is going on today, and as for you to do your own thing.
Even if Xin'anhou really meddles in the money business, it doesn't matter if you mess up, Your Majesty's share cannot be less. ”
After Sang Hongyang finished speaking, he left.
For him, the business of the Wuyan clan is a trivial matter, but the matter of new coins needs to be taken seriously.
Now that the courtiers have gone down to the court, Sang Hongyang went to the Yutang Hall to wait for Liu Che.
These people are the same as eunuchs, they can enter and leave these palaces at will, of course, Liu Che's harem can't go.
Liu Che obviously didn't know about the Wuyan clan, and in such a short period of time, the embroidered messenger couldn't find out what the situation was.
Besides, the embroidered messenger estimated that he only knew about Zhang Yuan's going to the Wuyan Clan's mansion, and no matter how much he estimated it, he didn't know as much as Sang Hongyang.
When Liu Che returned to the Yutang Hall to deal with government affairs, he was also a little surprised to see Sang Hongyang waiting in the center of the hall.
"What's the matter with Sang Shizhong?"
"Your Majesty, Wu Yan Lang has just come to find a minister."
"Salt-free Lang? The one who put the money? ”
Liu Che didn't care about these things, at least when he was not short of money, even if those merchants were rich, they were no different from slaves.
"Well, according to him, Xin'anhou has minted a new coin."
Sang Hongyang didn't even want to mention the Wuyan family's sub-money business, and directly told Liu Che the most critical thing.
A shrewd businessman has the advantages of Sang Hong Yang, and Sang Hong Yang also has excellent political vision.
"I know that my sister has already told me about this.
I also agreed, and let's see what tricks Zhang Yuan can play. ”
Sang Hongyang doesn't support Liu Che's current situation, what he wants is to hold all the wealth of the country in his hands.
One of the most important points is the currency reform and the right to mint money.
But now that Zhang Yuanxin has minted a coin, Liu Che has not reacted at all, so that Sang Hongyang did not expect it to be like this.
It's one thing to mint a coin privately, it's another thing to mint a new coin.
"Your Majesty does you have a newly minted coin from Xin'anhou?"
Liu Che rummaged through the desk without paying attention to it, and finally found a few five-baht coins.
A long time ago, Zhang Yuan gave some five baht to Princess Pingyang, and Princess Pingyang also gave Liu Che some.
For them, this is just a kind of copper coin that looks exquisite, better than the ones circulating in the market, but Liu Che and Princess Pingyang both feel that the five-baht coin can't escape the fate of private minting.
"Come and get it yourself, this money is called five baht, and it looks pretty good."
Sang Hongyang immediately stepped forward to take the copper coins from Liu Che's hand, and then put them in his hand to finely frost.
The five-baht coin brought him a three-dimensional sense and a sense of heaviness, rather than the flat copper coins before, which he was worried about being pinched off when he put it in his hand.
Sang Hongyang immediately discovered the superiority of this copper coin.
"Your Majesty, Xin'anhou has a big plan in mind.
He went to find Wuyan Lang today, I'm afraid he really has a plan.
Please also ask Your Majesty to send someone to investigate what Xin'anhou wants to do. ”
The gap between people and people is here, if Zhang Yuan says these words to Liu Che, Liu Che may come up with a sentence Are you teaching me to do things?
can spit it out from Sang Hongyang's mouth, which really attracted Liu Che's attention.
