Chapter 106: Pricing

By the time Zhou Tai Fook and the others came back, it was already half an hour later, and Zhou Tai Fook laughed and said: "Virtuous nephew, I think this building material is very good, I don't know if you have any plans to sell this secret recipe", and the rest of the businessmen also cocked their ears, wanting to hear Wang Fugui's answer.

"Nope! This secret recipe has now been dedicated to His Majesty, and will not be sold to anyone without His Majesty's permission! Wang Fatzi's voice was categorical. As soon as several businessmen heard that it was related to His Majesty, they didn't dare to say anything further, maybe they said something wrong, and they would be invited to tea by Xuanwei.

Wang Fatzi saw that the atmosphere was a little wrong, and laughed twice and said: "Before you know it, it's noon, let's go, there is a restaurant in this county where the food tastes okay, let's go, I'll invite you uncles to have a good meal, let's talk at the dinner table."

The tradition of the Chinese people has always been like this, there are things to say at the dinner table, many big things are decided at the dinner table, a few people got into the carriage, and went to Baiweiju.

When I arrived at Baiweiju, I was startled by the crowd inside, and I knew Wang Fugui who ran to the hall, after all, many things Su Bai was handed over to him to handle.

"Wang Gongzi, Little Grandpa, Lord Wang, Han Ye, and Tang Ye are all upstairs, take you over?" , Wang Fugui looked around left and right, and saw that they were all wearing armor, as well as the servants in the county office, Wang Fatzi asked with some doubts: "Today is Lord Wang's treat?" Runtang nodded and smiled: "That's right, Lord Wang made a fortune today, and invited all the servants and the little grandfather's troops to eat."

"The little grandfather is also there?"

"Yes, it's all on the third floor, do I need to take you up? Prince Wang"

Before Wang Fatzi could reply, Chow Tai Fook spoke first: "No, just find us a quiet place", hell, eat with the little grandfather? Can there be its own place there? Even if you sit on it yourself, do you dare to speak? Wang Fatzi didn't embarrass them, and gave Runtang a look.

Running the hall was a little embarrassed: "Wang Gongzi, there are a lot of people today, the upstairs and downstairs are full, do you think I will take you to our box?" Wang Fatzi nodded, they had been to that box before, where it was actually a place for them to eat, of course there would be no decoration, but fortunately, it was quite quiet.

Under the leadership of Running Hall, he came to the box, and Wang Fatzi said: "Just put all the good wine and good food on the top, you look at Zhang Luo", after speaking, he took out a dozen dollars in his arms and handed it to Running Tang, who nodded happily and left.

Chow Tai Fook coughed lightly and said: "Virtuous nephew, I think this cement is okay, but I think I still have to study this price, ten cents and one stone, is this price a little high?" ”。

Wang Fatzi smiled and said softly: "Uncle Zhou, cement is different from other building materials, he needs to mix it with stone and sand in proportion, that is to say, with one stone of cement, you can mix three stones or even five stones."

Chow Tai Fook still shook his head and said: "Small profits and quick turnover, nephew, your cost is only seven Wen, or even lower, you earn almost half of one stone, so what else can we expect to make money?" After all, building materials are building materials, it is impossible to go the same as consumables, we also need small profits and quick turnover, you give me a little, I can give a little to the guests, so how good is it for you and me to make a fortune? ”

Chow Tai Fook's words were agreed by several other businessmen, but Wang Fatzi still shook his head and said: "Do you know what the cost of Sanhe soil is now?" Our price is only a fraction of that of Sanhetu! Aren't your uncles still satisfied with this price? You have also seen the effect, I am confident that this building material can be done nationwide! Uncles, we have dedicated the secret recipe of this cement to the emperor, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also came yesterday, you know, do you think that if the cement is not good, it can alarm His Royal Highness the Prince? How can good things be cheap? ”

Put it in Wang Fatzi is to bite ten cents to death, it is not cheap at all, and several businessmen are also old fritters, of course, they don't, they have to bargain. Ran the hall pushed open the door and uploaded the dishes, and the chicken, duck and fish meat were on a large table. Wang Fugui smiled: "Come on, come on, talk while drinking." Wang Fugui personally poured drinks for several businessmen and said: "Little nephew, there is another suggestion here, I don't know if your uncles are interested."

Chow Tai Fook rubbed his stomach and said: "None of them are outsiders, just say anything directly." Wang Fatzi took a sip of wine and said, "General agent!" Several businessmen looked at each other, some of whom did not understand what this meant.

Wang Fatzi said with a smile: "City general agent, take Chang'an as an example, we can only sell cement to your Uncle Zhou!" Others who come to us here to buy cement, we don't sell it! The price I give you is 10 yuan, and we don't care if you want to sell it for 15 yuan or 20 yuan! ”

Chow Tai Fook's eyes lit up, everyone is a thousand-year-old vixen, and there is no need to talk about Zhai, who doesn't know who, as soon as Wang Fatzi's suggestion came out, the big guys felt that it was feasible, why? This is an alternative kind of monopoly, and as long as it is a money-making industry, nine out of ten are monopoly industries!

"In this way, the price is nine Wen! I want 100,000 stones! The first to speak was Chow Tai Fook, after all, he was a local construction businessman in Chang'an, and when he saw the cement for the first time, he actually knew that in the future, in terms of construction, this material would definitely have a strong stroke.

At the moment, he decided to ask for 100,000 stones, which was only about 900 taels of silver, and said to a big businessman like him that he didn't pay too much attention to it, so he would treat it as a test of water.

Wang Fatzi shook his head with a smile, took a chicken leg and gnawed it, and said in a somewhat vague voice: "Shiwen!" This is the lowest price I can give, and our minimum transaction unit is 100,000 stones! ”。 The eyes of the rest of the businessmen narrowed at the same time, you must know that being a businessman in the current Datang is the most expensive? Transport! The road is rugged and difficult to walk, the people along the way eat and chew, the so-called ten miles out of the country for a foreign land, many people have never even been out of their own county in their lives, it is not easy to find a person who can travel far away.

Robbers, natural disasters, many risks on the road to death, coupled with the loss along the way, the money that can be earned is actually not much, and now Wang Fatzi actually said that the lowest transaction unit is 100,000 stones! What is the concept of the current proportion, which is more than 600 tons? It's like a hill!

"Isn't the virtuous nephew joking?" A southern merchant started first, his expression was already a little dissatisfied: "Virtuous nephew, you must know if we don't want to travel this way, how many wagons will it take to transport 100,000 stones of cement back?" I don't know how much the carriage on this road will take, and people will eat and chew horses, and I am afraid that after 100,000 stones are transported back, not only will they not make money, but they will also lose their old capital! ”。

Another merchant also echoed: "That's right, let's not talk about the price, just the rule of at least 100,000 stones is unreasonable, virtuous nephew, this is a new thing after all, we don't know if the people buy him or not, if not, do we have to use the 100,000 stones ourselves?" ”

Wang Fatzi ate all the chicken legs into his stomach, wiped his mouth and said: "Uncles, this is really my minimum condition, my father invited you to come because you are my father's friends and my father's trustworthy people, and if there is any way to get rich, I must think of you first." And that doesn't mean we don't have other partners." Wang Fatzi's eyes swept over several businessmen, with a smile on his face, but there was no trace of a smile in his eyes.

"When you uncles entered the county, they should have seen cement roads and houses, but now because they have just been built, not many people know about it, and it is not widely spread! If you say that it has spread for a few days, do you think that the practicality of cement is not worth ten cents? ”

"I want 100,000 stones! How long does it take to pick up my order? "The first to speak was Chow Tai Fook, as a local construction businessman in Chang'an, he was the least stressed, and the 'general agent' that Wang Fugui said before was the reason why he made up his mind.

Chang'an can only sell cement by itself! This is the opportunity to make a fortune, although everyone is rich, but who will not get along with money? Who wouldn't want to be richer?

The other businessmen looked at each other, still a little wavering. Wang Fatzi didn't care, and said to Chow Tai Fook with a smile: "Two days later, Dongshan Workshop will deliver the goods", Chow Tai Fook laughed twice, picked up the wine glass and drank it.

Wang Fatzi looked at the remaining businessmen and said: "A few uncles don't have to be embarrassed, this is not mandatory, I also understand your difficulties, you should be just an ordinary dinner today." Wang Fatzi's expression is very indifferent, and he is not afraid to sell good goods! This is the idea that Su Bai instilled in Wang Fatzi, even in modern times, the cement market is very objective, but what about a country like Datang that is full of vacuum periods?

"I want 200,000 stones! In addition, Luoyang's 'general agent' "spoke of a thin old man, dressed very decently, with resolute eyes, obviously made up his mind, and planned to do something big!"

'Two hundred thousand stones! Wang Fatzi was also a little surprised, this is not a small amount, I didn't see it before, he turned out to be such a decisive person! Wang Fatzi nodded with a smile and said: "Ten days later, Dongshan Workshop will pick up the goods", after speaking, he picked up the wine bowl and signaled to him, the old man smiled and touched the bowl with Wang Fugui, and drank it all.

This old man's name is Shen Jin, and the timber business at home has mature channels, and he is confident that he can still handle the 200,000 stones, but it is only two thousand taels of silver, and the main attraction for him is the 'general agent'.

The rest of the businessmen didn't speak, obviously a little hesitant, even if there were already two people in front of them taking the lead, they still couldn't make money, Wang Fatzi didn't say anything, eating the chicken in front of him, the times are destined to progress, and those who can't keep up with the rhythm will be eliminated, the so-called natural selection is like this.

It won't take long for this kind of thing to spread all over the country, and the gold content of a 'general agent' at that time is absolutely unimaginable!
