Chapter 70: The Rise of the Furniture Industry
Before Yuan Tan finished speaking, Yuan Shao reprimanded again: "I have long intended to establish Xi'er as the son, how can it be said to be a reward?" You two brothers instigated the officials and caused trouble for no reason, which is really hateful! ”
"Father...."
Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang snorted and cried their bitterness.
To put it bluntly, it is to be fair!
Yuan Xi was heavily rewarded, but they didn't, and their hearts were unbalanced.
"Scatter!"
Yuan Shao left the council hall angrily.
End of meeting.
Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang found a relationship with many people, and they wanted to persuade Yuan Shao from the side, but it was useless. The two brothers were completely left out in the cold. Even Liu was implicated.
This can't help but make many families wonder, are Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang not good? They fought against Yuan Xi and fought for Hebei, can they fight for it? What did Yuan Shao think in his heart?
After this incident....
Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang formed an alliance and returned to their respective territories, preparing to start a new round of attacks. For Yuan Xi, they hate it to the extreme, they can't eat his flesh, eat his blood, and sleep on his skin!
Solve the hatred in your heart!
Youzhou.
None.
Since the rise of the furniture industry, there are more and more businessmen who wholesale furniture to Jixian County. Among them, there are families and wealthy families in Jizhou and Bingzhou, who know that the Zhen family is selling furniture and have made a small fortune.
And the source of the furniture is in Jixian County, Youzhou.
No one is going to have trouble with money.
Even if the political leanings are different and they are unwilling to support Yuan Xi's family, they will sharpen their heads and want to squeeze into this industry.
Zhen Yao, the head of the Zhen family, came to Jixian Mansion and found Xun Chen with a familiar car to discuss the wholesale of furniture.
Xun Chen was very embarrassed and said: "The master of the Zhen family doesn't know, before you came to Jixian County, there were already a large number of businessmen who booked furniture from us and paid a deposit, and now it is in short supply." I'm going to open another factory and mass production. But..... It's going to take time. ”
"What? This.... Zhen Yao said anxiously: "I have also received a lot of deposits, just waiting for your goods." Anyway, you're going to have to sell me a few hundred first. ”
"Hundreds?!"
Xun Chen's eyes straightened and said, "Master Zhen, how much money did you collect from others?" ”
Zhen Yao was a little speechless and said: "Mr. Xun, you may also know that now the furniture in Hebei and the two states are selling hot. Anyone who has a little money at home can follow the example and buy a complete set of furniture. In the past, businessmen smelled business opportunities and wanted to wholesale a large number of furniture and transport it to the Central Plains for sale. Think about how much demand there is? Can I not do the business of delivering to my door? ”
"I discussed with my second brother, and after a while, we will also build a furniture factory, and then..."
Speaking of this, Zhen Yao glanced at Xun Chen and said, "Mr. Xun, you won't allow me to build a furniture factory, right?" ”
"This..."
Xun Chen really can't say it well.
The furniture was invented by Yuan Xi, and it was up to Yuan Xi to make it or not.
"With all due respect, the rise of the furniture industry will inevitably lead to a large number of manufacturers, which is very difficult to stop." Zhen Yao said.
"Hmm. What the head of the Zhen family said was right. When Childe comes back, I'll ask Childe for instructions. As for the furniture you want to wholesale, there's really nothing I can do. All the furniture, including the furniture for the next month, has already been booked. Xun Chen said helplessly.
"Okay."
Without wholesale to furniture, Zhen Yao was a little frustrated.
However, he was not in a hurry to leave Jixian.
He wants to wait for Yuan Xi to come back and finalize the construction of a furniture factory. At that time, there is no need to go all the way to Youzhou to wholesale, and then transport it back thousands of miles, not to mention the time-consuming and labor-intensive, and it is not safe.
Two days later.
Yuan Xi returned to Jixian County.
"Childe, the head of Zhen Yao's family asks to see you." The guards came to report.
"Ask him to come in."
Yuan Xi had just had lunch and sat in the gazebo in the garden with Zhen Mi to rest. Little Yuan Zhuo was hugged by Yuan Xi, babbling and babbling, and was put on the ground from time to time to take two steps.
Zhen Yao came in and saluted: "I've seen Gongzi." ”
"Second brother, don't be polite, please take a seat." Yuan Xi followed Zhen Mi to call Zhen Yao as the second brother, which was even more cordial.
"Gongzi Xie."
After Zhen Yao entered the pavilion, he explained his affairs.
The corners of Yuan Xi's mouth smiled slightly, and he said, "I really didn't expect it." Plain furniture can also sell so hot. So what are you waiting for? Why don't you hurry up and build a few furniture factories and make a lot of money? ”
"I'm worried that Childe won't allow it, so..."
"I'm not so stingy. Isn't it just furniture, you can make it? Yuan Xi said with an open-minded face. Even if the Zhen family doesn't build a furniture factory, other families will build it, and no one can stop it.
Yuan Xi had been prepared for a long time, and he never thought that he would make a fortune by manufacturing furniture.
It's just an excesses before the rise.
"Thank you, Childe."
"You come with me."
Yuan Xi remembered about the matter of high-quality salt, and led Zhen Yao to a separate courtyard.
"What do you think this is?" Yuan Xi grabbed a handful of pale white salt from a bag and handed it to Zhen Yao. Zhen Yao took it curiously and sniffed it with his nose, but there was no taste.
"What is this?"
"Salt."
"Childe is kidding, right? How could this be salt? "Zhen Yao doesn't believe that there is a white color of fine salt in the world. Even the most delicate official salt in the Central Plains is the color of and is in the shape of rice grains.
Some poor quality salt has a peculiar smell.
"Don't believe me? Then try it? Yuan Xi's face did not change.
Zhen Yao dipped a little salt and put it on his tongue. It feels salty! Very pure salty! There is no fishy and bitter taste of coarse salt at all. With a look of shock on his face, he put the salt under his nose and sniffed it, but there was not even a trace of peculiarity. What's more valuable is that the color of fine salt is white, without any impurities!
"This, this... Is it really salt?! Zhen Yao's hands were trembling, and he stammered when he spoke: "Gong, Gongzi..... How much of this fine salt do you have? ”
"A lot. I made it myself. Yuan Xi said.
"Uh..."
Zhen Yao is a businessman, and his first thought is business.
If this salt were put on the market, what would it look like? How many people will buy fine salt? And the exclusive high-quality fine salt, others can't imitate it, and the price is set by Yuan Xi.
Oh, my God!
How much money do you have to make from this?
Zhen Yao came back to his senses and said almost pleadingly: "Childe, give this fine salt to our Zhen family to sell." Our Zhen family only takes 20% of the profits, oh no, one achievement is done. We have a large number of contacts and shops, and we are guaranteed to bring fine salt to the market and sell it at a very high price. Moreover, in front of our son, we will never play any tricks. ”
