Chapter 207: Cooperation
Guo Bin saw that Qiangqu was not resistant to cooperation, and his heart was settled. In fact, judging from his practice of cooperating with others, all cooperation will inevitably benefit both parties. Because he knows that no matter what kind of business or sale, only if both parties benefit and make profits, it is the foundation of long-term cooperation.
With the status of Qiangqu, the special skills of the Huns who are good at raising horses, and the appeal and combat ability of the Huns on the grassland, it is extremely necessary for the two sides to form a friendly and intimate relationship of in-depth cooperation. This is of extremely important strategic significance to Yangzhai County, which is under Guo Bin's control, and even to the entire Yingchuan County.
At that moment, Guo Bin cleared his throat, held the cowhide bracer that Dong Xing'er sewed for him on his left hand with his right hand, and said slowly: "The herdsmen on the grassland have a great demand for silk, tea, wine and other things produced in the Central Plains, and in the Central Plains, the demand for cattle, sheep, war horses, and even felt and other things on the grassland is also very great. ”
Hearing this, Qiang Qu and the others knew his plan in their hearts. However, they did not speak, and anyone could think of this kind of business, but it was not long-lasting. If Guo Bin has a way to strengthen mutual trust between the two sides and make this deal long, this so-called "small deal" is really not small.
I only heard Guo Bin continue: "If I send someone to transport the silk, tea, and wine produced in the Central Plains to exchange for your special products, what do you think?" ”
Qiang Qu listened, took a sip of the wine in the golden cup, and said, "Well, it's not bad." ”
Seeing this attitude, Guo Bin knew his worries in his heart, so he continued: "The most important thing in this transaction is the mutual trust between the two parties, only if the two parties enter into a clear contract, make a contract, and strictly follow it, it will surely become an important foundation for the unity and friendship between the two sides." What I mean is that between Taiyuan City and the royal court, choose a place to be used as a field, and I will send people to build and manage it. ”
Qiang Qu listened, and did not doubt Guo Bin's sincerity in his heart. Because through Guo Bin's means of dealing with this series of things, he can see that Guo Bin is also a smart person, he knows that Yingchuan has to transport materials from outside the Saiwai through Bingzhou into the Beijing Division, and although he knows the profits in detail, he can only look at the nearly 100 carts that come and go every month to know that it is not a small deal. Therefore, the Southern Xiongnu tribe, which is at the key point of choking its throat, has the natural ability to reach the throat of the other party. It can be said that in this matter, the Southern Xiongnu Department occupies the absolute initiative.
Therefore, Qiangqu knew that Guo Bin at this time urgently needed to marry himself, and this transaction was close to the royal court, and his side could be said to have an advantage. Dealing with smart people is the most worry-free, and many things that don't need to be said can be politely ignored. In Qiangqu, Guo Bin wants to open a field to trade with himself, since it is a good measure for himself, then he will definitely not play tricks on the transaction.
The Xiongnu traded a lot with the Han people, but because the Xiongnu did not have a written language, the contracts used were all in Chinese characters, so they were always deceived by the shrewd and cunning Han people. Because most of the trading locations were in Taiyuan City, although the Xiongnu were strong, they had nothing to do. Therefore, over time, the Xiongnu did not want to trade with the Han Chinese. However, Guo Bin is different, since he wants to form a good alliance with the Huns, he will not play these small tricks.
And Yu Fuluo on the side said: "Hmph! You've got a good idea! You Han people don't talk a lot, they are cunning, where can you believe it? We have a lot of deals with the Han people, which time was not deceived? ”
Qiang Qu listened and didn't speak, he wanted to see Guo Bin's response.
I saw Guo Bin smile and said: "The eldest prince is too worried, the reason why some businessmen will use fraud to obtain short-term benefits is because their principal is small, their family business is small, and their ability to resist risks is also small. Therefore, a little bit of small profits, they also see it in their eyes. I have gathered the strength of the wealthy families in Yangzhai County and even Yingchuan County to do business all over the world for more than a year, although it is not a long time, there is still a little credibility. ”
Hu Chuquan next to him secretly said in his heart: "Yes, this group relies on Yangzhai Construction Co., Ltd., builds cement buildings in various parts of the Central Plains as a breakthrough, cooperates with the wine and soap produced by Fulong Villa, and cooperates with wealthy families from all over the world, and its strength and reputation are indeed excellent." At that moment, Xiang Qiangqu Shan Yu nodded slightly.
Qiangqu Shan Yu saw it and knew it in his heart, but he still didn't speak, only lowered his head, picked up the golden cup, and drank all the residual wine in the cup.
Seeing this, Guo Bin knew that Qiangqu was already tempted, so he immediately took out his trump card.
"The so-called food is not tired of fine, and I don't get tired of being fine, I have heard that there is food in the Hun Department for a long time, but I want to ask Da Shan Yu for a little."
Qiang: "Oh? What kind of food is Hou of Yangzhai County talking about? ”
Guo Bin said lightly: "Butter and cheese." ”
Qiang Qu laughed and said: "It turns out that Qianyang loves to eat this, come on, go and rectify it quickly!" ”
Not long after, on the table in front of Guo Bin, there were two silver plates filled with cheese and butter respectively. However, he only tasted it and said to Qiang: "These two things are the things that Guo wants to exchange with Da Danyu in addition to cattle, sheep, war horses and felt." ”
Qiang Qu was stunned for a moment, and said: "This butter and cheese are indeed the daily food of our herdsmen, and I have also sent people to sell them to Taiyuan City to sell, but there are few buyers, and it doesn't seem to be suitable for the taste of the Central Plains people, right?" ”
Guo Bin said with a smile: "What Da Dan Yu said is good, the diet of the Central Plains people is mainly pasta, and there is not much food for cows, sheep, and even mare's milk." Therefore, it is normal that the butter and cheese cannot be sold in Handi. ”
Hu Chuquan was puzzled: "Since it can't be sold, why does Qianyang still have to trade with my department?" ”
Guo Bin glanced at him with a smile, nodded and said, "Does the second prince know that I have a Zhuangzi in the Central Plains, called Fulong Villa?" ”
Hu Chuquan said: "Fulong Villa, rich in wine, soap, marketing throughout the country, famous all over the world, although I am in the middle of nowhere, but I have also heard of it. ”
Guo Bin said: "When the new Zhuangzi was built, because of the lack of food, I thought of the mother's milk of cattle and sheep. Since people can drink milk when they are young, they can naturally drink it when they grow up. People are so hungry that they can eat anything, whether it is tree bark or grass roots. Guo sent someone to buy a lot of lactating ewes, which were specially supplied to the children every day, so he saved a sum of food expenses. ”
Hu Chuquan said: "What does Qianyang mean?" ”
Later, Guo was awarded the post of Yangzhai County Commander by the Son of Heaven Longen, and when the Central Plains was in drought, the displaced people were all over the wilderness, so the 30,000 displaced people outside Yangzhai City were also taken in. In order to provide them with food and clothing, Guo took a lot of effort, and even took out the method of Fulong Villa to supply goat milk to children. Guo Bin paused and continued, "So far, tens of thousands of children under the age of 16 in Yangzhai County have become accustomed to drinking goat milk, and goat milk products have become a special delicacy on the tables of the people in Yangzhai County. ”
Seeing that the eyes of Qiangqu, Yu Fuluo, and Huchuquan were getting brighter and brighter, Guo Bin smiled and said: "Therefore, the tastes of the people in Yangzhai County are quite different from other places in the Central Plains. Their demand for butter and cheese is greater than anyone thinks. This is definitely a good deal that can continue indefinitely! ”
Although some of Guo Bin's words are not true, it does not affect the conclusion. Although he supplied goat milk to the children of Fulong Villa, not because of a shortage of food, but purely to improve their physical fitness, it was also crucial to the change of people's tastes in Yangzhai County.
With Guo Bin becoming the commander of Yangzhai County and becoming the nominal and substantive leader of Yangzhai County, Yangzhai County will also supply goat milk every day. By now, goat's milk has become a must-have drink for minors under Guo Bin's rule, and dairy products are a delicacy sought after by the middle and upper classes of the county.
Later, Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang went to build a city outside the Saiwai and exchanged items with the Huns, in addition to cattle, sheep, war horses, and felt, dairy products also accounted for a large weight. This greatly alleviated the embarrassing situation of lack of livestock in Fulong Villa, which led to a decrease in the price of dairy products. And if Guo Bin really talks about cooperation with the Xiongnu Ministry this time, butter and cheese are afraid that they will really enter the homes of ordinary people in Yangzhai County.
In fact, if the technology allows, Guo Bin would like to be like the dairy companies of later generations, directly delivering cow and goat milk to Yangzhai and even Jingshi. However, because of the backwardness of anti-corrosion technology and transportation technology, he could not do this, otherwise he would definitely build a super-large dairy processing plant that radiates across the country. Such a fresh and natural milk source is the harsh vision of modern people who pay great attention to dietary health in the future, and it must be extremely hot.
In Guo Bin's words, Qiang Qu fully felt his sincerity. This kind of new business and trade project, which can be carried out for long-term cooperation, will certainly bring a steady stream of economic benefits to the Xiongnu tribe. As long as he has this stable economic source, his control over the Xiongnu tribes will inevitably be further deepened. At this time, when Qiangqu looked at Guo Bin again, there was only appreciation and admiration.
As long as you are a normal person, there is no one who likes to fight, because fighting will kill people. Although the Huns sometimes went to the Central Plains to plunder, they only did this activity of tying their heads to the waistband of their trousers when life was extremely difficult. Otherwise, with such a loose and disorderly form of organization among the Xiongnu tribes, how could it be possible to persuade the patriarchs of the various tribes to actively participate if it was not necessary?
The Xiongnu also hoped to trade with the Han Dynasty, exchanging their surplus produce for fine silk, gold and silver utensils, and fragrant wine from the Central Plains. In addition to these, the salt necessary for daily life must also be obtained from the Han court. The reason is simple, the Huns are neither near the sea nor salt. Although the Xianbei people in Liaodong are close to the sea and will also produce salt, their cold weather and extensive management methods determine the scarcity of salt production and low quality.
As said in the cross talk, if the commander of the Mongolian Navy wants to take office, he must first be able to find the sea, and when he finds it, he will take office immediately.
Of course, the Huns also wanted to exchange for iron tools from the Central Plains, but the Han court strictly forbade the sale of iron tools to the Xiongnu department, and no big businessman dared to risk killing his head to do this business.
The conversation that night went smoothly, and the two sides had agreed on mutually beneficial and win-win cooperation projects, and all that remained was to discuss specific projects and matters.
