Chapter 224 Jiangnan Business Road
Jin Yixin had already sat down, and when he heard the words, he hurriedly got up, shook his body, and said: "My lord, the grass people are businessmen, and they naturally chase commercial profits, and in the past two days, I heard that adults are promoting perfume in the city......
"Ao, it turns out that the gold proprietor's mind is on perfume?" Li Zicheng glanced at the scroll on the table.
"Don't misunderstand, my lord, this picture scroll is a gift from the grass people to the adults, no matter whether the grass people have the opportunity to cooperate with the adults," Jin Yixin hurriedly bowed his head and arched his hands, "Speaking of which, it is also the grass people's, the adults have been in charge of Xining for many days, and the grass people have not been able to see the true face of the adults - take this opportunity for the grass people to come to meet the adults!" ”
Li Zicheng smiled with his eyebrows, "Does the proprietor know the current situation in Xining?" ”
Jin Yixin was shocked, he had been reluctant to meet Li Zicheng for a long time, because of Li Zicheng's identity as an anti-thief, especially because he was really not optimistic about Li Zicheng's prospects, how could the little Xining confront the imperial court? However, after Mu Qingshan cooperated with Li Zicheng, his economic strength increased greatly, and he could also eat well in Xining, and there was a great tendency to catch up with and surpass the Jin family.
Only then did he become nervous, and he had to look at Li Zicheng differently, thus strengthening his understanding of Wei Li.
Mu Qingshan's economic strength has risen sharply because he has purchased Xining's unique distilled liquor and glass from Li Zicheng, and in the past two days, there has been an uproar in the city, and a thing called "perfume" has suddenly appeared from Mu's trading house, which has almost become the only hot spot in Xining City.
It is said that some women do not want to wash their faces for a day after they get perfume to be applied to their faces, just to keep their skin fragrant.
Not surprisingly, perfume will become the next "cash cow" of M Moser's firm, and it will not be long before M Mouser will surpass Kim firm and regain the first place among all commercial banks in Xining.
He had the heart to denounce, but Li Zicheng had thousands of soldiers in Xining in his hands, and these soldiers may not be able to deal with the army of the imperial court, but they are more than enough to deal with him, a merchant.
Jin Yixin has also learned about Li Zicheng through various channels, he doesn't know if he doesn't see it, he is startled when he sees it, Li Zicheng has a lot of eccentricities, and in his businessman's eyes, these eccentricities are all developing in a good direction, and over time......
In desperation, Jin Yixin was forced to ask to see Li Zicheng.
If Li Zicheng collapses in the future, how can he find no evidence to assist Li Zicheng, in case Li Zicheng soars into the sky, he can take the opportunity of cooperation to get closer to the feelings between the two parties, and then it will be a matter of course......
As for the exchanges between the two sides, it is also possible that they will be liquidated by the imperial court, but this is a border after all, and the imperial court cannot be too serious.
But Li Zicheng's questioning was obviously to tie himself and the entire family to his rebellion chariot.
Jin Yixin thought carefully before deciding to see Li Zicheng, but Li Zicheng asked so directly, it still made his back sweat trickle, could it be that the Jin family of the first merchant in Xining is going to join the ranks of rebels from now on?
Joining the ranks of rebels is not an option, the current Ming Dynasty, in addition to scabies in Liaodong, Shaanxi has been full of thieves, the general trend of the world, it is really unclear.
Since Li Zicheng took charge of Xining, his strength has developed steadily, and now he has occupied Xiningwei, Nianbosuo, Zhuanglangwei and other guards, and even the Mongols have been driven out of the West Sea, this situation is ......
Could it be that Li Zicheng is really the future master? At least so far, Li Zicheng has not exploited the common people and merchants of Xining, and his ambition is ......
It is not impossible to tie the future of the family to Li Zicheng's chariot, the key is whether the interests of the family can be guaranteed, and even further develop like the Mu firm, but Mu Qingshan has already taken the lead......
With the current uncertain situation, it is better to make a fortune in silence, gradually close the relationship in the cooperation and exchanges between the two sides, and wait and see the changes in the situation! Jin Yixin arched his hand and said: "My lord, the grass people are businessmen, they are talking about business, they don't care about the situation in Xining, the grass people just want to get some commercial profits from the hands of adults, and the grass people will never dare to lose adults, this is a win-win situation for grass people and adults!" ”
Li Zicheng smiled, sure enough, he was an old fox, he wanted silver and refused to swallow the bait, he completely fancied the perfume he produced, what is the difference between this and the white wolf with empty gloves? He looked directly into Jin Yixin's eyes and said, "What Lord Jin said is also right or not, Lord Ben has always relied on Lord Mu in business, even if Lord Jin joins, Lord Ben can only earn the same profit." ”
Jin Yixin sat down again, calmed down, and said: "My lord, the grass people know that Mu Dongzhu has strong financial resources, but these goods of my lord, the profits and prices are all superior, and Mu Dongzhu is probably the limit, this perfume ...... It is said that it costs dozens of taels of silver for a bottle, and with the strength of Lord Mu, I am afraid it will be difficult to eat it completely...... If the grass farmers are involved, it will allow the adults to return the funds faster...... If the adults are willing, the grass people are willing to buy ...... with cash."
"The proprietor of Jin is indeed a shrewd businessman," Li Zicheng smiled faintly and said: "But what convinces me is not only here, but the business of the proprietor of Jin in Jiangnan, which is expected by the proprietor of Jin, if the perfume is sold to Jiangnan, what price will it be?" ”
"This ......" Jin Yixin is a thing that has never been seen in ancient times, Rao is Jin Yixin is a leader in the business community in Xining, and has traveled to the rich places of Beijing and Jiangnan, but he can't accurately price perfume, in fact, he doesn't know the production process and production process of perfume at all, and he doesn't know the actual cost of perfume.
"If it is sold to Jiangnan, especially in the rich places of Suzhou, Song, and Hangzhou, it should be no less than a hundred taels," Li Zicheng took out a bottle of perfume from the drawer and said: "Just looking at the bottle of this perfume, although it is not more than five inches high, it can be worth at least ten taels of silver." ”
"One hundred taels?" Jin Yixin gasped, his eyes were firmly fixed on the perfume that Li Zicheng put on the table, his fingers moved unconsciously, although he understood that perfume was now a seller's market, and the monopoly profit was considerable, but he didn't expect that this small bottle could be worth a hundred taels, but is there really such a customer?
"Don't you believe it?" Li Zicheng said with a smile.
"The grass people don't dare!" Jin Yixin's face was cloudy, "Grass people...... The sales of perfume by the grass people are unknown......"
"The proprietor of Jin has gone down to the south of the Yangtze River, so he naturally knows the wealth of the south of the Yangtze River," Li Zicheng said lightly: "If you sell perfume to the Qinhuai River in Nanjing......
"Qinhuai River?" Jin Yixin almost screamed, why didn't he think of it?
Rich businessmen gather on the Qinhuai River, in order to make their favorite girls popular, they often spend a lot of money, and the silver of white flowers flows outward like flowing water, what is a hundred taels of silver?
If it is sold on the Qinhuai River, once the rich businessman of the son fights for his beloved girl, it is not impossible that the price is sky-high.
Jin Yixin shook his heart again and said: "My lord, the grass people have been taught, but I don't know what price the adult's perfume will be?" "One hundred taels of silver, that's the final retail price, but at what price Li Zicheng sold it to himself, it's still unclear, he can't work in vain and make wedding dresses for others when the time comes.
"What's the price...... In short, I won't let the gold proprietor work in vain, I sold it to the gold proprietor at a price of fifty taels and one bottle, deducting the expenses such as travel entanglement, the gold proprietor should have some profits, right? Li Zicheng had already gained insight into Jin Yixin's thoughts, "However, if Jin Dong wants to buy perfume, he needs to promise me a condition, I don't know what Jin Dong's idea is?" ”
Fifty taels of silver purchases, one hundred taels of silver shots, the difference in the middle is fifty taels, perfume is a high luxury, the volume is not large, easy to carry, with other goods directly entrained past, coiled extra can not be a few dollars.
Moreover, once the perfume arrives in the rich land of Jiangnan, there are no competitors, if the business methods are appropriate, it can be sold at a better price, in business, perfume alone, the profit is indeed considerable, at least better than their own imagination.
What's more, today's perfume was completely snatched from Mu Qingshan's mouth, and Li Zicheng will have more things to do in the future, and he will have more opportunities.
But Jin Yixin didn't know what conditions Li Zicheng wanted to attach, so he licked his lips and said, "My lord, please say, as long as the grass people can do it, the grass people will never live up to the expectations of the adults." ”
"Industrial and commercial tax," Li Zicheng's face smiled faintly, and the empty valley was spotless like a deep cliff, "I plan to collect industrial and commercial tax in Xining, and all industry and commerce will be taxed, can the proprietor take the lead in supporting it?" ”
"Excise tax? But I don't know what the tax rate is? Jin Yixin was shocked, but his face did not change color, is Li Zicheng going to be reckless and scrape the ground? If so, I don't want his perfume, and I definitely don't cooperate.
It's just that Li Zicheng has already shown his sharp teeth, and I don't know if he will give up......
If...... If the industrial and commercial tax rate is low, he can go with the flow, at least he can take the opportunity to shorten the distance between him and Li Zicheng, and he will have benefits in the future...... It's a big deal that the profits of perfume are gone, and there is no such thing as the birth.
However, thinking of the upcoming profits, Jin Yixin's heart couldn't help but drip blood.
"Fifteen taxes and one are exactly the same as agricultural taxes," Li Zicheng still had a faint smile on his face, as if he didn't know what Jin Yixin was thinking at all, "However, if it is a mom-and-pop shop, and the annual income is less than thirty taels, there is no need to pay taxes, and it is not easy for these people to support their families." ”
Fifteen tax one? Jin Yixin calculated in his heart, he just estimated that the gross profit of perfume was fifty taels, and if he paid taxes according to this standard, the profit would be at least three taels.
This is not the key, if Li Zicheng raises the price of perfume by three taels, he has no bargaining capital, and the loss of perfume profits is not big.
If the other key items are also taxed according to the standard of 15 taxes and 1 tax, then their own family property ...... But you have to lose seven or eight cents of silver out of thin air! These are the hard work of myself and my ancestors for decades, why should I hand them over to Xiningwei?
"My lord, do all goods have to be taxed? Including inventory at home......"
"For the goods, only those who have completed the sale need to pay taxes," Li Zicheng's face was still like a warm spring breeze, "but if the goods are not sold, there is no need to pay taxes for the time being, and the law does not have the power to implicate it, and the merchant's property is the previous income, and it does not need to be taxed, that is, only the goods sold this year need to be taxed." ”
If this is the case, Jin Yixin is barely acceptable, it's a big deal that the profits of perfume are gone, if he can use these profits to make friends with a hero like Li Zicheng, in this land, his life will be better, at least he will not be compared to Mu Qingshan.
"My lord, do other merchants also have to pay taxes?" Jin Yixin was still a little uneasy.
