Chapter 50: The Deal Is Done
The next day, Wei Du came to discuss with Ye Chen, but Wei Zhongdao did not follow, maybe Wei Du felt that his attitude towards Ye Chen was not good, which would affect the outcome of the negotiation.
The two sides sat down in the study, drank tea for a while, and chatted for a while.
Wei Du felt that it was almost the same, so he said: "Nephew, I don't know what I proposed last night, my Wei family wants to cooperate with the Ye family." ”
Ye Chen had actually thought about it last night, it was an ideal way to cooperate with these powerful families, because this world was too chaotic, and it was more secure to cooperate with them.
"Uncle Wei, this cooperation is also possible, but does Uncle Wei have any opinion on this cooperation method?"
Wei Du came to Liaodong this time for Du Kang wine, and on the way here, he had already figured out the rules set by the Ye family.
"It's not impossible for this cooperation method to follow the previous model of the Ye family, but my Hedong is far away from this road, and if I go to the Ye family to pick up the goods, the cost on this light road will be a lot of money."
Ye Chen nodded, Hedong was indeed far away in Shanxi in the future, if Ye Chen's origin had been placed in Liaodong, this long way would indeed have to be considered.
"Well, this is indeed a problem, I don't know which part Uncle Wei wants to manage?"
"My Wei family is in Hedong, of course I want to be subordinate."
"Si Li is a rich place in the world, naturally it can't be compared with Youzhou, but the first thing to say is that Luoyang also belongs to Si Li, this Luoyang land is the second base of my Ye family, so it can be regarded as a self-reserved land."
Ye Chen said this, Wei Du Zou frowned, this Luoyang is not comparable to others, the location of the Son of Heaven, its wealth and consumption power are not comparable to other places.
Seriously, Wei Du cares a lot about Luoyang, this business, especially this liquor business, if it can develop in Luoyang, then not only the profit return is very high, but also the family reputation is also very helpful.
"I don't know how much the agency fee is? What is the price of wine? "Wei Du thinks about it, if he can win the division at a more suitable price, it will be worth the trip.
"Si Li still has 6 counties and 84 counties in Luoyang, and the population is several times that of Youzhou, so I will give it to you according to the price of Youzhou, and only charge 60 million yuan, which is equivalent to a discount of more than 50 million."
Wei Du nodded and said yes, this Youzhou is in the border area, the population is already scarce, and they are relatively poor, and the rich class cannot be compared with Si Li's side, so Ye Chen said that 60 million is not an exaggeration, and even if it is auctioned, it may be able to sell for 200 million.
"As for the price of Du Kang wine, you also know that we sell five thousand for two thousand and five thousand altars in Youzhou, three thousand for one thousand and five thousand, and two thousand for one thousand."
"Well, I know that."
"Okay, then we sell the Wei family 5,001 altars, we sell 2,21 altars, 3,000 sell 1,000 12, and 2,000 sell 700, all minus 300 yuan, I think this can completely offset the extra cost on your way."
Wei Du silently calculated, if the single volume is large, this price can be said to be cheaper than that of Youzhou, you can transport it to Qingzhou first, take the Yellow River from Qingzhou, the cost of Cao Yun can be reduced a lot, and Liaodong to Qingzhou is not far.
"Okay, at this price." Wei Du is not unaware of bargaining, but knowing that the Ye family has an absolute advantage, they have lowered the price a lot, if they are insatiable, then the next thing will be difficult to cooperate.
"Also, your plan to exchange grain for Du Kang wine will be effective for my Wei family?"
This question is very important to Weidu, because the price offered by the Ye family is according to the market price, and this time and again you can make a lot of difference, anyway, you have to come to Ladukang wine, if you also transport the grain, you won't run empty when you come.
"Of course it works, now my Ye family is short of a lot of food, so this condition is permanently valid."
Ye Chen still wished that they would all use the grain to exchange for Du Kang wine with the Ye family, this grain could not be calculated according to his value in troubled times.
"Okay, then we'll settle it down."
This Wei Du doesn't want to make extraneous branches, although it has been decided verbally for the time being, but the main thing is that there is no major incident, both parties will not breach the contract, and the face of the four major business families still needs it.
The two sides discussed some more details, and then had lunch together, and then they stopped.
For Ye Chen, he needs to grow himself quickly, so cooperating with this kind of giant is the best choice.
Now that the workshop has been built, the output has increased greatly, and together with the previous day and night work, a considerable batch of Du Kang wine has been produced.
Some of these Dukang wines are buried with the year labeled, and most of them are still in the warehouse.
Only by selling these wines can they be exchanged for a large amount of grain and copper coins, so as to support the rapid development of the Ye family.
And Ye Chen believes that if the Wei family comes to pick up the goods, then it must be a large quantity, and they may buy hundreds of millions of Du Kang wine at one time. And Ye Chen still underestimated the courage of the Wei family.
This transaction is very important to both the Wei family and the Ye family, and it can allow both parties to develop greatly.
When the matter of Wei Du Du Kang wine was finalized, the whole person relaxed, he had already sent a message back, and the Wei family would definitely send a caravan to Liaodong to pull goods after receiving his message, which no longer required him to care.
Ye Chen accompanied them for two days, but Wei Zhongdao didn't know what was wrong with this kid and had been lukewarm to himself, Ye Chen was not bored, he accompanied them for two days, and ran to the guard camp by himself.
The escort battalion is training in full swing, and these people used to be underfed, but now they are full every day, and most of them have gained a lot of weight.
So they especially cherish their current life, they not only don't have to worry about food and clothing, but also can support their family, everyone trains hard, strives to kill the enemy on the battlefield and make meritorious contributions, and repay the Ye family.
Ye Chen didn't disturb the normal training of the guard camp, he went to a corner by himself to practice his overlord halberd.
Now his halberd method has some rules, and he will not be covered with sweat after a few minutes of practicing like he started, and his arms are weak, and he can't hold this halberd.
This halberd is different from ordinary halberds, the whole body is dark, exuding a faint luster, very heavy, cold in the hand, but not slippery.
The halberd was in Ye Chen's hand, flying back and forth, with sharp moves, not many changes, but it was as powerful as a thousand catties, taking a fierce and violent route.
Now Ye Chen can practice for a quarter of an hour, and after a quarter of an hour, he must rest, and if he doesn't rest, he can't dance this halberd.
After the training of the guard camp was completed, Ye Chen brought Tai Shici and the others to the war room.
This war room is actually a large barracks with a lot of maps in it, and a large table in the middle holds maps that need to be used immediately, and nothing else is special.
This was deliberately made by Ye Chen, in order to let the officers below have time to discuss and discuss operations, as well as deduce some previous combat examples.
"This time I came to everyone for the next battle, we have been resting for a long time, and now there are a few big bandits left in Liaodong, as long as these bandits are eliminated, then there will be no formed bandits in the entire Liaodong."
Ye Chen spread a simple map of Liaodong on the table, and then several people gathered in front of the map.
"This group of bandits is entrenched on our road to Liaoxi County, and it is a great harm to our trade routes, and they now have more than 2,000 people, occupying Qiuping Mountain, thinking that they are camping."
Ye Chen pointed out the place of the bandits on the map and gave a brief introduction.
"Second brother, this bandit is not to be worried, he just occupies a favorable position, and I am afraid that the loss will be greater if he attacks it."
"That's like last time, trick them down with a fake caravan." The tiger head didn't think about it, and when he heard that there was a battle, he became excited, and he wanted to go to suppress the bandits as soon as possible.
"It's not proper, there are a lot of them, if we have a large caravan, they won't come to rob it, and if there are few people, they won't send much, even if they deceive some of them, they will be startled, and it will be even more difficult to fight later."
Bai Feng didn't even think about it, and directly denied the tiger's head's method.
"Yes, this method can't be used here, but I don't want to force it, you have other methods."
Ye Chen looked around and asked everyone, he needed his own general comprehension to think.
"I think we can attack at night, as long as we send a small number of men and horses to touch it first, control the gate of the village, and then a large team of men and horses are killing it, it will definitely work."
Next, everyone had a heated discussion and discussed many methods, but Ye Chen didn't make a decision, because Ye Chen knew whether these methods could be used on the spot.
Ye Chen gathered them together, firstly, to prepare, and secondly, to let them learn from each other and develop a habit.
Finally, the meeting lasted for an hour, and Ye Chen made a final summary.
"As for which method to take, where we go depends on the situation when we come back from the field investigation, this time the distance is relatively far, and we are afraid that it will take a few days to go back and forth, so Fang Liang led five hundred people to stay and watch the house."
"Yes". Fang Liang is the word of Lu Wolf, a young general recruited by Tai Shi Ci last time.
"Zijian led 500 people as a pioneer, advancing stealthily, and currently exploring the terrain and enemy situation."
"Yes". Zijian is Li Ren's word, and Li Ren immediately came out to answer.
"The rest of the people will go back to their respective places, get ready to go, bring enough food, and set off early tomorrow morning."
"Yes"
After Ye Chen gave the order, several other people went back to prepare, and only Bai Feng was still in the war room.
"What does Zimo think about this crackdown on bandits?" Ye Chen looked at Bai Feng and said.
"Isn't it big to suppress bandits this time, the key is the size of your own losses." Bai Feng had already seen Ye Chen's plan, it was nothing more than training, since it was training, there could not be too much loss.
"Well, this gang of bandits, extremely vicious, no restraint, and no discipline, this kind of bandits are fierce, cruel, and have strong individual combat ability, but it is easier to deal with than your previous Hutou Mountain."
"Well, but there are so many of them, it's impossible to be free of damage this time."
"There are no immortals in war, as long as the losses can be kept to a minimum."
Bai Feng secretly praised, this is the way to go, you can't be bound by a little loss, I saw that Ye Chen was very concerned about the casualties of the soldiers, I was afraid that Ye Chen's mind was full of women's kindness, but now it seems that Ye Chen is not that kind of person.
If you don't take charge of the army, an unqualified commander will kill many people, and sometimes good thoughts will kill more people.
Ye Chen and Bai Feng still have to run in, the two of them don't know each other very well, but this is not a problem, as long as the concepts of the two do not have too much conflict, then they can cooperate.
