Chapter 59: Talking to Thorn Shi about business
Zhang Ping finally fainted and was carried back.
Ye Chen didn't kill him because he was afraid of him, but because he didn't want to cause more trouble on someone else's territory. After all, I'm here to do things.
And the news of Zhang Ping's beating quickly spread, after all, he was carried back and many people saw him.
"Who, who the hell beat my son like this."
The head of the Zhang family in Zhang's mansion knew that his youngest son had been beaten and brought back, and he was not only angry that his son was beaten, but also that someone dared to challenge the authority of their Zhang family.
"Tell me, what the hell is going on?"
Master Zhang asked one of the guards who went out with them.
The guard told Mr. Zhang everything he knew.
"Check, let me find out where they come from." Although he knew that it was his fault that he was not a son, the majesty of the Zhang family still had to be maintained, so Old Man Zhang wanted to find out Ye Chen's origin, if it was not someone he couldn't provoke, it would definitely make them unhappy.
Ye Chen naturally didn't know that someone wanted to check his details, even if he knew, he wouldn't care, with his five hundred people plus Tai Shici, even if he couldn't beat him, it was still very simple to escape back.
The next day, Ye Chen asked someone to hand a greeting note to Thorn Shi Guo Xun and prepared a gift.
The post was handed over, and there was a reply soon, and Guo Xun held a banquet to receive him in the evening.
In the evening, Ye Chen took gifts and selected fifty soldiers of the guard battalion to act as guards, and Tai Shi Ci served as the leader of the guards.
It's not that Ye Chen is afraid, but the momentum of the Ye family has to be put up, and he can't let the Lord Assassin Shi underestimate him, which is not good for himself.
This Guo Xun was about to forget about Ye Chen, but not long ago, Liaodong reported that all the bandits in the territory had been suppressed.
As a thorn history, of course he knows what Youzhou is like now, of course he doesn't believe it, so he ordered an investigation, this investigation doesn't matter, Liaodong really suppressed all the thieves.
And it was not the officers and soldiers who suppressed the bandits, it turned out to be the Ye family. I heard that the Ye family suffered heavy losses in order to suppress the bandits, although the major families and the Taishou Mansion gave compensation to the Ye family, but it was definitely not enough.
From this time on, Guo Xun began to think about Ye Chen, the thieves in Liaodong were wiped out, and as the assassin of Youzhou, he could also share some credit, if the Ye family suppressed the bandits by themselves, or suppressed the bandits under his own instructions, then his credit would be greater.
"Liaodong Ye Chen pays a visit to Lord Thorn Shi."
"Haha, I finally looked forward to Ye Xiaoyou." Guo Xun smiled at Ye Chen.
Ye Chen was also puzzled, he didn't know much about himself in Liaodong at the beginning, so he only asked his subordinates to pass the word, saying that he had time to go and see him.
Now Guo Xun's attitude towards himself is obviously very different from before. Ye Chen didn't know why he simply ignored him, it wasn't a bad thing anyway.
"Lord Thorn Shi, because the Ye family has been doing a lot of things recently, so I only came to see him today, hoping to forgive my sins." Ye Chen said to Guo Xun.
"Ye Xiaoyou is serious, what is not a crime." Guo Xun said to Ye Chen in a very kind tone: "Come, sit"
Ye Chen listened and sat down, Guo Xun sat on the top, and he sat below.
"I heard that Ye Xiaoyou was so suppressing bandits in Liaodong, and he did a very good job."
"Thank you Lord Thorn Shi for your compliment, this is also the thief who deceived my Ye family, and my Ye family's revenge cannot be avenged." Ye Chen didn't know what Guo Xun meant, so he didn't dare to take care of it and characterize the Ye family's bandits as revenge.
Guo Xun smiled and didn't continue, but talked about other things with Ye Chen, chatting for a while.
"The Ye family's Du Kang wine is really a good thing, the day before yesterday I sent a few jars to my brother, he was full of praise, and he asked me for it these days."
Guo Xun's elder brother Guo Hong is the assassin of Liangzhou, and this Ye Chen knows.
"Thank you for your compliment." No matter what Guo Xun's purpose is, since he praises himself, then hurry up and thank him.
"It's just..."
Ye Chen knew that the main drama was coming, and this Guo Xun should have to say his purpose.
"Lord Thorn Shi, if you have something to say, as long as you can do it below, you will definitely do your best."
This is a scene, of course, if Ye Chen can really do it without harming his own interests, then Ye Chen will definitely do it, he is the boss of Youzhou, of course he has to hug his thighs.
"Then Ye Xiaoyou, I'll just say it directly, I hope there won't be jokes." Guo Xun was polite at first and then said: "My brother said after drinking Du Kang's wine, how can such a good wine be drunk alone, and the people under his rule should also be allowed to enjoy such a fine wine." ”
Guo Xun paused when he said this, looked at Ye Chen, and then continued: "So my brother wants to introduce Du Kang wine into Liangzhou, so that the people under his rule can drink Du Kang wine, I don't know what Ye Xiaoyou thinks." ”
Ye Chen scolded the two brothers of the Guo family several times in his heart, is it so shameless. Obviously, he saw the huge profits of Du Kang and wanted to make a fortune. In the past few months, Guo Xun has gone to the Ye family to pull goods a few times, and he has already made a lot of money.
What else do you say so that the people under your rule can also enjoy Du Kang wine, is this Du Kang wine drunk by ordinary people?
Although Ye Chen despised the two brothers of the Guo family very much in his heart, there was no need to get along with money, not to mention that it was still very necessary to make friends with Guo Xun, but he still had to be a stab for a few years in history, and he was only destroyed by the Yellow Turban during the Yellow Turban Rebellion.
"Lord Guo Tingshi really loves the people like a son, but the current output of the Ye family is not very high, and he can't provide another state of Du Kang wine all at once." Ye Chen's words are not entirely false, although the output of the Ye family has been greatly increased now, but there is one more customer of the Wei family, and the Du Kang wine consumed by the Wei family is more than twice that of Youzhou, and there may be more in the future.
But to say that Ye Chen can't provide a Liangzhou is not exactly, if he agrees, Liangzhou will go to the Ye family to pick up wine, it will be more than a month later, as long as he works overtime during this time, it can still be produced.
Guo Xun pondered, it seemed that what Ye Chen said was true, but Ye Chen also said that he couldn't provide a state's wine, so what about half a state, or just one or two counties?
At least from Ye Chen's words, Ye Chen did not refuse.
"Then I don't know how much Du Kang wine Ye Xiaoyou can provide? You know, my brother's people were very eager to drink the Dukang. ”
For Guo Xun's shamelessness, Ye Chen chose to ignore it, what makes the people very eager to drink Du Kang wine, obviously because their own family wants to make more money.
"Actually, it's not that there is no way to provide the output of the entire Liangzhou, it's just..."
This said that half of it was left and half of Ye Chen was now learning, and he deliberately said to Guo Xun with some embarrassment.
Guo Xun also knew that Ye Chen was asking for conditions, but this was in line with the exchange of interests, and the cooperation between the two sides could be more pleasant, so Guo Xun was not disgusted.
"Oh, if you have difficulties, Ye Xiaoyou, please tell me, in the land of Youzhou, you can still help one or two."
"As long as Lord Thorn Shi can provide enough winemakers, then my Ye family's output can increase a lot, and then there will be enough Du Kang wine to supply Liangzhou, so that the people of Liangzhou can also drink Du Kang wine."
The lack of winemakers has only recently appeared, and after supplying the Wei family, Ye Chen found that the bottleneck of increasing production is that there are not enough winemakers, as long as the winemakers can bring the winemakers out, in fact, the step of distillation is very simple.
Guo Xun's eyes lit up, this is not easy to be a winemaker, he is a thorn history, his brother is also a thorn history, he has ruled so many families, looking for them to ask for a few winemakers who will refuse, who will offend a state's thorn history because of a few unimportant people.
"I think this is no problem, my Guo family can help the Ye family find enough winemakers."
"Lord Thorn Shi, of course it's good to have enough winemakers, so that my Ye family's output can be increased, but I ask the winemakers to come over with their families, so as not to be able to concentrate on winemaking and affect the quality of the wine."
Of course, Guo Xun heard it, there was no problem, he thought that Ye Chen was afraid that others would steal the brewing method of Du Kang wine, which he could completely understand.
In fact, Ye Chen is not worried that others will steal the brewing method, the most important distillation step, Ye Chen's work of secrecy is very good, and the other steps are no different from other people's brewing methods.
Of course, there are still many different places, Ye Chen requires the winemaker to continue to experiment, and constantly develop better wine, this distillation cannot be kept secret forever, the brand is done, and the quality behind it must continue to break through.
With a group of people who specialize in winemaking, the quality of the Ye family's Dukang wine continues to break through.
"Ye Xiaoyou, I don't know if there are any difficulties." Guo Xun naturally didn't believe that the Ye family only needed to have any benefits, not to mention that it was not a benefit.
In fact, Ye Chen didn't think about asking for any benefits at all, because he didn't know that Guo Xun would mention this condition before he came.
However, since there is the benefit of delivering it to the door, you don't take it for nothing.
"Lord Thorn Shi, my Ye family has been repeatedly troubled in Liaodong before, I hope that in the future, if the Ye family is in trouble, Lord Thorn Shi can help one or two."
Guo Xun's request was too sudden, and he really couldn't think of what he wanted, so he simply owed it first.
"Ye Xiaoyou rest assured, if you have any difficulties, even if you come to me, you will not be disappointed if you can help."
"Old fox" Ye Chen secretly broke himself. Those who can help will not let themselves down, which means that those who can't help will let themselves down.
However, Ye Chen would not mention anything too outrageous, even if he could, he would come up with the corresponding conditions in exchange, which Ye Chen still understood.
The next step is to discuss the specifics. The agency fee cannot be less, given that Liangzhou is really far away, and the situation is slightly worse than that of Youzhou, so Ye Chen's agency fee is only 50 million.
The other is to give a certain discount on the price, and the discount is similar to that of the Wei family.
Ye Chen is still very happy to make this business, anyway, he wants to sell, who sells is not selling, this can get a lot of favors, how can this make him unhappy.
Now the Ye family is very short of money, and many of Ye Chen's plans also need money to support, so it is naturally best to sell them.
Ye Chen also knew the bottleneck of Du Kang's wine production, but he couldn't dig people by himself, he could only cultivate talents by himself, and if he did, he would definitely have conflicts with other families, or promise a lot of favors.
It's too slow to cultivate talents on your own.
Now that the business is negotiated, it's time to talk about other things.
