Chapter 211: Talking to Dong Zhuo about the deal again
"General Dong, there is no problem with salt, it's still the same sentence, I have as many goods as you have, I can give you credit for the first time, and then I have to cash for every payment." In fact, even if he doesn't pay on credit, Dong Zhuo has to buy it if he smashes the pot and sells iron.
"Haha, that's good, that's good, I don't know if my brother can send another batch of goods as soon as possible, this time it can be more, more good." Dong Zhuo is also anxious, although there are a lot of goods in this first batch, it is still far from supporting him to roll it out in an all-round way.
"No problem, I can write a book immediately and let the Ye family ship it, and it will arrive soon." Ye Chen is still very concerned about selling salt, he himself does not have the strength to leverage this huge interest group, but Dong Zhuo, a barbarian, has the strength and guts.
Most of the salt in the Xiliang area is the well salt in the Sichuan region, and there must be a large number of interest groups in Xiliang and Shu because of this well salt, once Dong Zhuo wants to fully control the salt in Xiliang, I am afraid there will be a violent conflict.
However, Dong Zhuo dares to do it, and it is foreseeable that these interest groups will either surrender or only be destroyed.
"Okay, that's good, brother, I'm a rough man, the previous thing was that my brother was not good, don't be surprised, we should cooperate more in the future." Dong Zhuo said with a smile.
Will Ye Chen bother with him? It will definitely be careful, but business is more important, and it is important to find a place to sell the salt that you have stored in several warehouses, and it is sold in large quantities.
"General Ye, in addition to talking to you about salt today, we also want to discuss other aspects of cooperation with you." Li Ru said.
"Oh, yes. If cooperation is good, cooperation is profitable for everyone. Ye Chen knew that the other party still wanted Du Kang wine, so he took the opportunity to give the steps, and it was easy to cooperate later.
"Okay, General Ye, we want the agency of Du Kangjiu in Liangzhou, as well as the agency of the northern grassland." Originally, they just wanted the agency of Xiliang's Du Kang wine, and then secretly sold the wine to the grassland, but now that there is a salt business, they are afraid of offending Ye Chen, so they simply pay more.
"No problem, the agency fee can be repaid in installments, but not a penny, as long as you can pay the money, I am a businessman, and I am naturally very willing to cooperate." Ye Chen cooperated with Dong Zhuo and has always positioned himself as a businessman, which is also planned for the future.
Dong Zhuo and they are not stupid, they know that salt can bring them huge profits, so they don't bother with Ye Chen in this regard, and besides, acting as an agent for Du Kang can also have a lot of profits after drinking, so they agreed.
"General Ye, we still want to buy a batch of equipment from you, it was discussed with you last time, can it be delivered on time?" Li Ru asked cautiously.
Before, they didn't report much hope at all, and they didn't think that salt could bring them a lot of profits, so they didn't attach great importance to the purchase of equipment, but now that they have money, of course they want to settle this matter.
"Well, according to the rules, if you pay a deposit of 30%, our Ye family is a reputable century-old business, and we will work overtime to make it for you, but if there is no deposit, it will be delayed for two or three months at most. But don't worry, it's still the same sentence, as long as you pay the money, our Ye family will have a way to get it, but if you want to order in the future, you still need a deposit. Ye Chen deliberately said this to deepen their impression as a businessman, and when Dong Zhuo entered Luoyang, he would despise him, and even continue to cooperate with him.
"Haha, it's easy to say, it's easy to say, brother, these 12,000 sets of equipment must help my brother. You also know that Xiliang is poor, and he has to fight with the Qiang people, and it is difficult to do it without good equipment. Dong Zhuo began to complain.
Ye Chen understood that Dong Zhuo played the emotional card, and then Li Ru cooperated and said what Dong Zhuo was not very convenient to say, but Ye Chen didn't care too much, and using the rare calm time in the next few years to develop himself was the last word.
After talking about business, a few people began to drink, and now that the war is over, as long as you don't get drunk, so the barracks are not very strict about the prohibition of alcohol.
The relationship between Ye Chen and Dong Zhuo heated up rapidly for a while, but both of them knew that this was just on the surface, and in fact, they still used interests to maintain the relationship between the two of them.
As long as the interests are there, no matter how bad they look at each other, they will not turn their faces, as long as they endanger each other's interests, then no matter how good they are, they will turn against each other.
Several people drank for more than an hour before they dispersed, Ye Chen pretended to be drunk, Dong Zhuo also pretended to be drunk, neither of them could get drunk at this time, but if they were not drunk, they couldn't show their "friendship", so they each pretended to be drunk.
"Lord, this Dong Zhuo is afraid that he has wolf ambitions, and he is afraid that he has to guard against them by cooperating with them." After Dong Zhuo left, Ye Chen also woke up, and Guo Jia said to him.
"I don't know, but in the short term, we will definitely be able to cooperate amicably, even if the world is really in chaos again in the future, our territory is thousands of miles away from them, and there will not be too much conflict. Now my Ye family needs time and a lot of money, and it is also beneficial for us to cooperate with them. Ye Chen said.
Guo Jia is a smart person, of course he knows these truths, but after some observation, he found that Dong Zhuo's ambition is really not small.
"My lord, if Dong Zhuo is in turmoil in the future, I'm afraid your reputation will also stink."
"Well, I've thought of all of this, anyway, I'm a businessman, and I don't have much influence among the scholars, and my reputation is the same whether it stinks or not, and if he messes with the country, I will send troops to fight and raise a righteous army, which can not only save my reputation, but even raise my reputation to a certain degree."
What Ye Chen said was naturally not that he couldn't do it, but that he knew the history behind him, if it didn't change, when the time came, the princes of the Eighteenth Route would crusade against Dong Zhuo, and the princes behind would fight for hegemony, most of them would appear from the princes of the Eighteen Roads, and only they would be the strongest.
After Dong Zhuo's rebellion, the entire rule was broken, and in the future, it depends on strength, although fame has a bonus effect, but so what, if the strength is strong, it can still get enough support.
Dong Zhuo also came to his senses on the way back, he was very satisfied with finding Ye Chen this time, because he had achieved all his goals, with the large amount of salt provided by the Ye family, he could monopolize the entire Liangzhou market, and even the northern grasslands would depend on him, and then he would have the strength to continue to expand his troops and horses.
As for the soldiers, he is not worried, there are many Qiang soldiers in his soldiers, and when the time comes, he will become the strongest in the Han Dynasty, even the emperor can not tolerate him, he has also seen through it, after this battle, the Han will not have much vitality left.
Ye Chen wrote a letter on the same day to ask the Ye family to deliver the goods, and sent Dong Zhuo more than a dozen boats of salt, which is estimated to allow him to open the entire Liangzhou market. However, Dong Zhuo didn't go back, the soldiers and horses didn't go back, and he didn't dare to move.
