As soon as these words came out, the heads of the families suddenly exploded.

"The price is so low, and we are not allowed to sell inferior goods, where does our profit come from?"

"You're kidding!"

"Eldest son, let's be straightforward, you're not doing business, you're trying to earn a reputation for yourself, right? If this is the case, although we admire it, we cannot participate in the heavy responsibility of supporting the entire family! ”

"Yes, yes, yes!"

"Even if according to what you said, we have a monopoly on the grain and oil trade in the land of Jingshu, not only will we not be able to make money, but I am afraid we will have to lose a lot!"

"The eldest prince doesn't know how to do business, this grain sale is not something that can be sold by collecting grain from the ground and changing hands, as well as transportation, manpower, up and down and other costs, every cent is indispensable!"

In the face of the crowd's angry questioning, Liu Qi smiled slightly: "If I say that all the grain and goods are supplied by me, you only need to be responsible for the expenditure on manpower, transportation and pavement, will it be difficult?" ”

The audience was stunned, and there was an uproar again!

All the food is supplied by Liu Qi?

Any idea how much this is? I'm afraid it's not a crazy ball!

The Kuai family blinked and asked cautiously: "What does the eldest prince mean, we are only a transit business?" ”

"Yes, you only need to bear the cost of manpower and transportation. There will be a special person to talk to you about the specific cooperation method. Liu Qi took a sip of the tea, and frowned at the 10,000th time being smoked by the spices in the teacup, "I'll take the risk, as long as you enjoy the benefits of monopolizing grain and oil." ”

"Even if you can't make a lot of money on food, you still have oil." Liu Qi thought about it, but still put down the teacup, "When the people in Jingshu develop the habit of coming to our commercial house to buy grain and oil, are you afraid that the scale will not be big in the future?" You must know that the people's livelihood is withering now, as long as the people are firmly encircled, what business can't be done? ”

Spending habits?

Everyone's eyes lit up, this is a new idea!

All the merchants present are old merchants, even if there was no such statement before, but you can understand it when you think about it.

From this point of view, the eldest prince is not messing around, but really has ideas!

And all the people were moved.

The reason why they are unwilling to sell grain at a low price is that in addition to being reluctant to make less money, the most important thing is that the cost cannot be reduced.

And if the eldest prince supplies the food and ensures that he can continue to get low-cost food, more than half of the problem can be solved.

As for Liu Qi giving so much low-priced grain to sell, whether he pays himself or not, it is not within the scope of the family's consideration. In fact, in their hearts, Liu Qi probably planned to use the profits from selling oil to subsidize the loss of low-priced grain, and the ultimate goal was to invite fame.

However, as long as it is not their money that is lost, it doesn't matter how much they lose!

The Kuai family was tied to Liu Qi's warship a long time ago, and at this time, the head of the Kuai family was the first to stand up: "In this way, the Kuai family is willing to serve the eldest prince!" ”

"The Huang family is also willing!"

"So is my Han family!"

The other three companies did not fall behind and expressed their willingness to join the cooperation that Liu Qi said.

If a monopoly can really be formed, as Liu Qi said, even if the grain itself does not make too much, can't it be earned back on other commodities?

Someone is shouting for them to lose money and make money, why not!

Seeing this, the head of the Cai family knew that it would be too late if he didn't express his position, so he had to nod his head: "The Cai family is also willing to join." ”

Liu Qi smiled at him: "You don't have to worry, we are in business, as for what happens in the state capital, it will not affect our cooperation!" ”

Of course, the Cai family couldn't really believe this, but they did feel a little relieved, and they thanked them again and again.

At the same time, dissatisfaction with Cai Mao has deepened.

If you support the second son, you can support it, why do you have to make the fish die and the net is broken?

As a result, it didn't attract the state pastor's fear, not to mention, and it also affected the family's business!

If it weren't for the anger of the state pastor, the Cai family would have monopolized the soybean oil business a long time ago, and they still need to come to Yancheng to see Liu Qi's eyes?

"Since you have all agreed to cooperate, please stay in Yancheng for a few days, and I will send someone to contact you."

Leaving this sentence, Liu Qi left with Liu Wenjing.

The heads of the side branches also had no opinion.

After all, the business affairs are not on the stage, and Liu Qi can show up to give them face, of course, it is impossible to do it himself.

Walking on the wide cement street, seeing that the people were all red, and they were fed very well at a glance, Liu Qi was also in a good mood.

Yancheng is the first stronghold he managed with his heart, and it is also the last way to retreat.

The people here are well raised, loyal to him, and the people's hearts are available, of course, it is the best.

It's just that there's still something missing......

Liu Qi looked left and right, and found that the people were in a hurry, and there were only a few grain stores, ready-to-wear shops and other necessities stores on the street, and there were only a few hawkers.

I see, it's not prosperous enough!

Now Yancheng is still in the initial stage, the people have just solved the problem of food and clothing, and there is no spare money in their hands, so there is naturally no soil for business development.

In the final analysis, the development of Yancheng is still deformed.

It seems that the city walls and streets, and even the county government are made of beautiful earthen cement, but the living standards of the people have not been significantly improved - they are only able to eat enough.

"That's not going to work, I have to get more money for my people......"

If the people have no money to spare and commerce cannot develop, Yancheng will never be truly prosperous, and it will not be able to enter the positive cycle.

Once he was gone, the later officials could not afford to provide enough food without his golden fingers. Or after the infrastructure is basically completed, there will no longer be a need for a large number of workers, and such a "prosperity" may be shattered at a moment's notice.

The people of Yancheng must be truly self-sufficient.

Liu Qi rubbed his head, and after thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't think of a good way.

"Alas, why didn't you study hard in the first place?" Liu Qi sighed, "Other traversers know astronomy and geography, and they can do everything to make bricks, iron, and firearms, but I am full of old thieves and wise P Society players, these are useless!" ”

"My lord?" Liu Wenjing followed behind, and seeing that Liu Qi had not spoken, and was still muttering in his mouth, he couldn't help but be curious, "What's the trouble of the lord?" ”

Forget it, let's go to the game and see if we can prostitute some new technology for nothing.

Liu Qi shook his head and replied casually: "What do you think of Zhaoren, how are the bosses of those families?" ”

Liu Wenjing smiled: "Cai, Kuai, and Huang are all wealthy families of the scholar family who have been rooted in Jingzhou for many years, and their forces are intertwined. The Han family is a little weaker, but it should not be underestimated, even if these people agree to cooperate, I am afraid that they will not accept the management of the lord. ”

"That's your problem." Liu Qi took up the role of the shopkeeper without any psychological burden, "The grain shop is my eyes, it doesn't matter if you make money or not, as long as you don't be blind." If it can also act as a knife, so much the better. ”
