Chapter 26 The Way of Business
Xu Guanchao, Wang Hongyuan, and Wan Jinbiao are all shrewd businessmen, and they are insatiable.
If there is a tenfold profit, they still want to get a hundredfold profit, and if they have a hundredfold profit, they want to get a thousandfold profit.
I can't wait to eat the benefits of Daqin cleanly.
Unexpectedly, Ji Xuanling was proficient in business, and he calculated the profits they had obtained and broke them in public.
Mo said that in the princes and all the countries take all, just by occupying the market of Daqian, they will all be rich, and the money and grain they will get more than in previous decades.
In addition to being embarrassed, Wang Hongyuan was full of sadness: "King Qin, letting commodities circulate in the vassal states is easier said than done, breaking into other people's markets and eroding other people's interests, no one is willing to give up their interests." ”
"So, Qin State provides tea, salt, paper, and takes eighty percent of the profits, and you are responsible for transporting and selling, and Qin State will solve the remaining problems." Ji Xuanling had a clear division of labor in his words, and said with a smile: "At this moment, do you still think that the Qin State is monopolized?"
With the endorsement of the Qin State and the support of the back, several chambers of commerce are only responsible for transporting and selling goods, which can reduce a lot of trouble.
Wang Hongyuan looked at Ji Xuanling, the smile on the corner of his mouth grew, and he cheered: "The villain understands, the villain understands, if King Qin can help me wait, things will be much simpler." ”
"Boss Wang is really a smart person!" Ji Xuanling approvingly: "Everyone has broad prospects for cooperation, and the more you sell, the more you will profit." Even if Daqian did not allow merchants to deal in private salt, if Daqin sent an envoy to Daqian and offered three things, could Emperor Wen not like it?
Emperor Wen loves it, won't the royal family buy it? The royal family's favorite commodities, in order to show their status, the aristocratic families of the Great Qian, how can there be a reason not to buy them, once the three types of commodities are circulated among the nobles of the Great Qian, the squires and merchants at the bottom will not follow suit.
The great cadres are the first in the world, and there is no reason why the commodities that are popular in the great cadres are not popular among the nations.
In this way, there is still a broad market for salt in the country, and there is a lot to be done, there is no restriction on fragrant tea and paper, and naturally the prospects are unlimited. ”
"King Qin is wise!" Xu Guanhua suddenly realized.
"Fragrant tea, paper, salt, occupy the market of Daqian, enough to make everyone make a lot of money, rich and oily, not to mention, sooner or later occupy the market of Dakang, the six eastern countries, and the southern countries? At that time, you should consider whether there is enough room for gold and silver. Ji Xuanling continued.
"That's right, I believe that the business of tea, paper, and salt will soon be controlled by everyone." Wan Jinbiao suppressed the joy in his heart, and the corners of his mouth still overflowed with a smile.
"Hahaha, it couldn't be better." Wang Hongyuan said happily.
They didn't expect Ji Xuanling to be so far-sighted, he had despised him too much before, and if he left in a negative spirit, the loss would be immeasurable.
Next to him, Jia Taichu, who was drinking tea, Mao Hongshan looked at Xu Guanhua and the three of them, and then looked at Ji Xuanling's shock from the bottom of their hearts, they never expected that they would not sell the recipe, Xu Guanhua and they still promised to take only 20% of the profits.
In addition to being delighted, Jia Taichu invited: "Come, come, come, everyone will talk while eating." ”
During the banquet, Jia Taichu and Mao Hongshan were reduced to accompanying guests, and Xu Guanchao and Ji Xuanling talked about business with great interest, said that they were happy, and toasted to each other.
"King Qin, since the Qin State is responsible for making tea, paper, and salt, how will the three of us divide it?" It is a matter of self-interest, and Wan Jinbiao does not dare to be sloppy.
"This matter should be decided by the three bosses, but since Boss Wan asked, this king suggested dividing it by region, which can not only reduce transportation time and reduce costs, but also reduce the resistance encountered by the three companies operating in their own familiar places." Ji Xuanling suggested.
Wan Jinbiao, Xu Guanchao, and Wang Hongyuan looked at each other, and when they thought less, they each nodded.
This distribution is indeed a lot simpler, and there will be no conflict of interests of everyone.
However, there was a very important matter, Xu Guanchao did not dare to forget, and asked: "King Qin, what you said earlier, we will determine the price of goods, is it true?" ”
"You don't joke." Ji Xuanling said categorically, Qin State is responsible for manufacturing products, and the higher the price of the three chambers of commerce, the more Qin State will naturally benefit, how can he interfere, however, Ji Xuanling changed his words and said: "In order to maximize the profits, the business strategy you mentioned before must also be changed accordingly." ”
"Oh, how to change, could it be that King Qin also knows how to do business?"
Wang Hongyuan asked in surprise, maybe he can't make tea, salt, and paper, but in the way of management, he boasts that he is better at business than Ji Xuanling.
"Huh!" Ji Xuanling said with a smile: "Boss Wang, if the water is full, it will overflow, and if the moon is full, you will lose, can't you say too much?" ”
"Could it be that the king has a new business strategy, and the villain is willing to listen to it?"
"Naturally!"
"Dare to hear about it?" Wang Hongyuan's eyes widened, and he was still a little suspicious, at this time, Ji Xuanling was no longer a young king in his eyes, but more like a far-sighted and very deep hero.
Ji Xuanling got up and walked to the center of the living room, glanced at Wang Hongyuan and the others, and said sharply: "The country is strong and weak, and the goods are also good and bad. ”
As he spoke, he grabbed a handful of tea leaves and rubbed them into pieces, put them on the desk and asked, "How is it, Boss Wang, do you still think this tea can be sold at a high price?" ”
"This, this one naturally can't work!" Wang Hongyuan shook his head slightly, unable to guess what Ji Xuanling meant.
Maybe the taste of the tea is still good, but the quality is too poor, and the price is at most two percent of the tea paste, otherwise I am afraid that there is no market.
"That's right!" Ji Xuanling agreed, grabbed a handful of fragrant tea and put it into the tea powder, mixed the two and stirred well.
Put the tea powder, the tea mixed with fragrant tea, and the best fragrant tea on the desk, and asked: "Boss Wang, Boss Xu, Boss Wan, do you know now?"
"The villain is stupid, I don't know what the king means?" Wang Hongyuan had a sad face, his expression was a little embarrassed, Xu Guanchao and Wan Jinbiao also looked confused, not knowing what Ji Xuanling wanted to express.
"This king has said that there are strong and weak countries, and there are good and bad things." Ji Xuanling didn't answer their questions directly, but asked: "If you are asked to price the tea separately, you think it is more appropriate to value a catty." ”
"Thirty dollars a pound at the end of tea, one or two gold pounds for better tea, and the highest quality fragrant tea is at least five taels of gold a pound." Wang Hongyuan said that he was in the paper business and did not know much about the price of tea, so he thought that his price was more appropriate.
"No, no, Boss Wang, medium tea should be five taels of gold for a catty, and top fragrant tea should be exchanged for one catty, and there is no cap, don't forget, the royal family and nobles don't care about the price, they care more about how to show their identity and status." Wan Jinbiao said that he specializes in the tea business, and knows the price of tea paste best, and the taste of this inferior tea is better than that of bitter tea paste, thirty yuan a catty, and the price is a bit low, not to mention the top fragrant tea.
