"Then I'll buy you the sauce?" Zheng San quipped.

"Hehe, Third Brother Zheng is open. Let's have a bowl of it. Liu Yong picked up the wine bowl.

The two drank a bowl.

"But, brother, this sauce is not easy to make." Zheng San said, "It's not that I didn't remind you. If it had been easy, I would have done it a long time ago. ”

"Oh?" Liu Yong turned his face sideways, expressing doubts.

Father Lin heard what the two of them said clearly, and quickly interjected: "Eh, I'm talking about my son-in-law." Zheng San is right. You don't have to think about making sauce. It's not good to do! ”

Liu Yong frowned.

Zheng San nodded and said, "What Brother Lin said is good. ”

"So what's so hard?" Liu Yong asked.

Zheng San looked at Father Lin, and said to Liu Yong: "Brother, let's not talk about anything else, just talk about how many Meizhou City Sauce Shops you have also seen." ”

"Well, there are no less than 100 of them, which is indeed quite a lot." Liu Yong nodded.

"But not more than half of them make money. The rest are facing bankruptcy! Zheng San sighed.

"Yes, son-in-law, the water in this sauce shop industry is very deep." Father Lin said in a calm voice, and his face was very solemn.

At this time, Li Dongshan on the side said: "Brother Liu, the sauce in Meizhou City is indeed famous, and it can be bought in Chengdu Mansion." But it's also a real problem. I also asked Brother Liu not to test the water and make a sauce shop, the initial investment is quite large. If you don't get it right, you will lose all your money. ”

Liu Yong's brows became tighter and tighter.

"Brother Liu, since you have a channel to and from Song Xia, why don't you run the trade, so that you can grasp it. Also, I can help with salt and tea. Li Dongshan gave advice to Liu Yong.

"Thank you Brother Li for your kindness. It's just that my brother and I made some money this trip, so I want to do some business. You also know that this long-distance selling of goods, not to mention the hard work of boats and cars on the road. The stakes are also high. If you encounter a gang of robbers, it will be bloodless. This time, there are people from the Jin country side to take care of it, otherwise I don't know how many times I would have died a long time ago. ”

After hearing this, everyone also nodded. The distance of one or two thousand miles between the Great Song Dynasty and Western Xia, and the distance between the warring Jin State, is indeed a dangerous thing.

"But the business of this sauce shop is really difficult to do!" Zheng San persuaded again.

Several other businessmen who were familiar with Liu Yong on Meihua Street also agreed with Zheng San's statement, which made Liu Yong dispel this idea.

Liu Yong took a sip of wine, smiled, and said, "Everyone said that the business of this sauce shop is not good, so what is it for?" Could it be that the sauce shop business in the entire Meizhou City is monopolized by someone? ”

"Oh, that's right, that's exactly what my brother said." Zheng San said, "I told my brother before that the sauce shop business in Meizhou City was almost monopolized by the four major sauce shops, namely Ma Ji Sauce Factory, Xingrong Sauce Factory, Piaoxiang Sauce Factory, and Wang Ji Sauce Factory. Among them, Ma Ji Sauce Shop accounts for almost 60% of the market. What a behemoth. But don't underestimate the remaining three, the remaining forty percent, almost three of them each account for one percent. In the end, the remaining one percent is the leftovers that dozens of small sauce shops want to compete for. ”

Liu Yong frowned again. I heard Li Dongshan say again: "Yes, what Zheng Sanlang said is good. But you can see from the fact that these sauce shops come to me to buy salt. This Ma Kee Sauce Shop buys more salt every year than the rest of the sauce shops combined. However, Zheng Saburo said one thing that was a bit excessive. To say that this Ma Ji sauce shop is indeed powerful. But it doesn't have that much market share. Forty percent at most. Their four big sauce shops are also considered to be dominant. ”

Father Lin interjected: "So, good son-in-law, don't think about the sauce shop anymore." When the time comes, I don't know how to die. In his heart, there were 10,000 people who disagreed with Liu Yong's thoughts.

Liu Yong smiled slightly and said, "Come, let's eat a bowl." "The bowl was dry. Everyone followed and ate a bowl, put down the wine bowl and looked at Liu Yong. are waiting for him to make a statement and give up the business of the sauce shop.

Unexpectedly, Liu Yong said to Zheng San with a smile: "Third Brother Zheng, you will sell my sauce when the time comes!" ”

When everyone heard this, they lost their color. How to say a lot of good things, and in the end they were all thrown into the bottomless pit by Liu Yong. It's really helpless.

Daddy Lin's face was not good-looking, Liu Yong was his future son-in-law after all, he didn't want to watch him jump into the fire pit. was about to persuade, but was preempted by Li Dongshan.

"Brother Liu, brother, I still have to say a few words. Needless to say, the Ma family is a thing that calls for wind and rain in Meizhou City. The other three are also big families in Meizhou City, and they are strong. If you don't touch their interests, they won't take you seriously. Once they think you're a threat, well, what do you say? Brother, I've seen what happened to the sauce shops that threatened their business. If nothing else, let's talk about the sauce shop run by the Li family. It took a lot of money to build it, and it will be magnificent, but now? Even if it's given away for nothing, no one wants it. Look at the Li family, now the family is ruined! Li Laohan was left alone and lived alone in a dilapidated house of less than nine feet, which was extremely desolate! ”

Liu Yong nodded and said, "Brother is talking about the one not far from Ma Ji Sauce Restaurant, right?" ”

"Yes, that's it. Brother Liu probably already knew. Li Dongshan said.

"Well, Third Brother Zheng told me." Liu Yong said.

Li Dongshan looked at Zheng San, and then at the others, and felt that there were no outsiders, so he walked to Liu Yong's side and whispered. Liu Yong's slightly narrowed eyes immediately widened.

Li Dongshan straightened up and admonished again. "Brother Liu, whether these words are hearsay or true. You have to take it to heart! ”

Everyone else didn't know what Li Dongshan said in Liu Yong's ear, but they all knew that it was about the Li family's sauce shop.

"Thank you, Brother Li. Actually, I also thought of these. What kind of haunting, it's nothing, it's just hiding from the world. After Liu Yong finished speaking, he drank all the wine in the bowl.

"Brother Liu, what you should say is what you should say, and you have said it, you can weigh it yourself!" Li Dongshan said while sitting back in his seat.

"Yes, Liu Yong, you have to listen to persuasion!" Daddy Lin added.

"Uncle Lin, don't worry, I, Liu Yong, have a good idea. I never fight battles that I am not sure of. Come, Uncle Lin, I salute you for a bowl. As he spoke, Liu Yong picked up the wine.

Father Lin picked up the wine bowl and asked tentatively, "So, have you changed your attention?" ”

As soon as the words fell, all the people at the table looked at Liu Yong.

Liu Yong, on the other hand, shook his head.

"Ahem!" Daddy Lin put down the wine bowl and looked depressed.

But Liu Yong drank it all and was arrogant.

"Everyone, I Liu Yong haven't put it in the eyes of Liu Yong, the small Meizhou City. I can't help but occupy the salty sauce market in Meizhou City, and I also want to buy the sauce I made to Lin'an, and buy the entire Da Song Dynasty. ”

Liu Yong's heroic words amazed everyone present.
