Chapter 297: Talking about a big deal
After Cao Ang went back, he talked to Xun Yu.
"Sir, this price is too great, Tian Feng would offer such a high interest."
The monthly interest rate is 10%, which is very high.
Cao Cao, they also had a hard time bearing it.
Xun Yu sat there and thought for a long time, and then said: "We need this money, as long as it turns over in two to three months, we can pay back this money." ”
To expand the army, it is necessary to expand the army immediately, and Cao Cao can raise some of the money himself, but there is still a big gap.
Yuan Shao's army will soon recover, and Cao Cao can't be slow, and he has to do it by smashing pots and selling iron.
In fact, Cao Cao's strength is still very strong, that is, there are more places where soldiers and horses are needed, and there is a Yuan Shu to guard against in the south.
Xun Yu understood very well that Cao Cao needed this money very much.
If you don't quickly equip the army, others will attack Cao Cao, and the losses will be even greater.
Xun Yu said to Cao Ang: "Tomorrow I will negotiate, and I will try to have as little as I can." ”
The next day, Xun Yu went to see Tian Feng.
Tian Feng made a good tea to entertain.
"Mr. Wen Ruo, Wang Zuozhicai, I am fortunate to meet you, and I am very honored."
Tian Feng was really polite, but Xun Yu said: "Mr. is still powerful, assisting the general to protect the country, laying such a foundation, and Youzhou is politically harmonious." ”
Tian Feng was also very happy to be sought after, but he was not so voluntary with Zhang Ming at the beginning
But now I am very glad that I followed Zhang Ming at the beginning.
"Okay, we don't have to praise each other, let's talk about things directly, the conditions we put forward are like that, the same conditions, if Mr. Wenruo wants to borrow more, it is not impossible."
Xun Yu was a little shocked in his heart, this Zhang Ming's family is so thick, and there is money?
Xun Yu said quietly: "This interest rate is too high, it will be doubled in ten months." ”
"If it weren't for the high risk, we wouldn't have asked for that high price." Tian Feng said.
"We can't afford the interest rate so high right now."
"Mr. Wenruo, I have an idea to reduce the interest by half."
Xun Yu was very curious, did this Tian Feng have any conditions.
motioned for Tian Feng to continue.
Tian Feng said: "If you use this money to buy our weapons and armor, the interest can be reduced by half, and the monthly interest rate can be 5%. ”
"As for the quality, you can rest assured, wait for you to inspect the goods and then decide, just these two plans, wait until you have seen the weapons and equipment to make a decision."
Cao Cao lost a large number of troops, so he naturally needed a lot of weapons and equipment.
Cao Cao was already ready to gather about 10,000 craftsmen to start building.
Xun Yu decided to take a look first and then talk about it, and agreed to inspect the goods the next day.
The next day, Xun Yu took Cao Ang to inspect the goods.
They took a dozen people with them, and Tian Feng took them to a warehouse in the city.
"Good knives."
"This gun is good."
"These armors have such a smooth surface and enough thickness."
"This is the best armor I've ever seen."
The dozen or so people brought by Xun Yu and Cao Ang were full of praise for this batch of weapons and equipment.
Zhang Ming used new means to forge things, forging with a hydraulic stamping machine, and the quality was naturally not bad.
"Mr. Yuanhao, I don't know how much this weapon and equipment cost?"
"Hahaha, it's absolutely cheap, these weapons and equipment, we put them here are also warehouses, and they have no effect at all."
"My lord, I'm going to dispose of it cheaply, after all, we're pretty short of money now."
Tian Feng quoted, and sure enough, the price was very low, about 20% cheaper than the price on the market.
Weapons and equipment are very important, and in ancient times, they were often more important than soldiers.
After calculation, Xun Yu felt that this business could really be done.
Cao Cao was in dire need of weapons and equipment, and he now had to start organizing people to build them himself.
"Mr. Wenruo, it's better to buy this building, you need to build it yourself, you need to gather craftsmen, craftsmen need wages, they need to eat, forging needs to open mines, and you need to burn a lot of wood."
Xun Yu was moved.
It's better to buy it than to build it, it's true, buy it back, and you will be able to form combat effectiveness immediately.
"Okay, we want all this batch of weapons and equipment."
Xun Yu weighed it and agreed.
Everyone went back to talking, this time intending to sign the contract directly.
As a result, the amount of Xun Yu's talk has far exceeded the previous expectation of 10 million.
The weapons and equipment needed more than 7 million, and then they were sold salt worth 5 million, and finally 3 million were lent in cash.
A total of fifteen million in borrowing is required.
That's a lot of money.
Under the auspices of Tian Feng and Xun Yu, a contract was signed.
The interest rate was directly reduced by half, and Zhang Ming "sold" the weapons and equipment in stock.
After the signing, Tian Feng hosted a banquet for Xun Yu and Cao Ang at the Tanglin Restaurant.
After the matter was settled, Tian Feng went to report to Zhang Ming.
"Lord, I sold a batch of weapons and equipment, although the interest was reduced by half, but that batch of weapons and equipment made more money."
Zhang Ming was very happy, although the price of that batch of weapons and equipment was two percent lower than the market price, but Zhang Ming and they made at least 30% of the profit.
That's right, Zhang Ming has a scale effect, new technology, forged weapons and equipment, good quality, and the price is still half of the market.
So despite the cheap processing, it actually makes a lot of money.
"Very good, this can also confuse the enemy, we even sell a lot of weapons and equipment, it can be seen that we have no desire to fight for hegemony."
"If this reaches Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao will be less wary of us."
"This deal, which can make millions, is very good."
Zhang Ming did not hesitate to appreciate.
He did not come forward to see Cao Ang and Xun Yu to maintain his arrogant and lascivious image.
In order to confuse the enemy, Zhang Ming often traveled in large cars.
His carriage, which was huge, required eight horses to pull.
The wheels are six-wheeled, with modern tires.
At the same time, the windows are made of bulletproof glass.
On this day's trip, Zhang Ming let Xiao Qiao divide the left and right, and then there were chairs and tables inside.
Vegetables, fruits, drinks, and dishes were placed on the table.
Zhang Ming deliberately opened the curtains on the left and right, and Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao were waiting for him to eat and drink.
"If the husband is a faint monarch in the future, our sisters will go down in history, just like Daji."
Da Qiao said when he was feeding Zhang Ming to drink.
Xiao Qiao took a bite of food for Zhang Ming, and then said: "Even if the husband is a faint king, he is also the most powerful faint king." ”
The behavior of the three people in the carriage was seen by many passers-by on the street.
"This is Zhang Ming."
"His wife is so beautiful."
"Zhang Ming indulges in beautiful people and wine, and sooner or later he will be defeated."
"It's so ridiculous at such a young age..."
Many scholars talk about Zhang Ming behind their backs, and Zhang Ming's remarks on the other side are just collected, and they don't do anything.
It is no secret that Zhang Ming often does this in Youzhou.
The difference is that there are often other beauties around me.
His five wives are often brought out, and they are often there when they play football.
Many people judged that Zhang Ming would be annexed by other princes sooner or later.
