Chapter 25: Deliberation (1)
Jing Zetian and the six of them were enjoying food in the box of Qingfeng Building while chatting about the main topic of the day. Of course, the people who spoke were mainly Jing Zetian and Huang Lesong, two businessmen, Qiu Xiang and Ruhua were concentrating all their energy on food, and Xiao Zhuozi was serving Jing Zetian to eat, occasionally interjecting a sentence, after all, he was the contact person of this cooperation.
"I don't know what the price of the two shopkeepers' workshops is, but twenty taels of silver is too expensive." Jing Zetian took a sip of hot rice porridge and said lightly, this time he is a buyer, and his momentum is enough. First, you can't let the other party see that you are short of money, and second, you can't let the other party think that you are young and easy to coax, after all, these two people don't know their identities on the surface.
"Hehe, Young Master Zhen, the initial asking price is naturally higher, today Young Master, please eat such a delicious meal below, so sincerely, you will directly say the bottom line below, eighteen taels of silver, it can't be lower." Huang Lesong said with a firm face.
"Well, since that's the case, then Zhang also directly reported the bottom line, seventeen taels of silver, this workshop is yours from Young Master Zhen, and I brought the deed." Zhang Rang also followed and said.
"Hehe, I don't know why the two of you sold the workshop, you must know that now that my Dahua has stabilized, the future wood crops are definitely very profitable." Jing Zetian asked with a smile, although Xiao Zhuozi simply told him the reason, but after meeting and talking, he still had to learn more about it, which was related to whether his cooperation could be successful.
"I don't know if Young Master Zhen has heard of the Huang family firm in Hua'an City." Huang Lesong took a sip of tea with ginger and garlic, and said with a relaxed face.
"Oh? This is really unheard of, don't be surprised by the yellow shopkeeper, I really haven't heard of it. Jing Zetian said with some embarrassment, he is in the palace, and he knows a lot about humanities and history, but he really doesn't know much about the business information in Hua'an City.
"Ahem!" Huang Lesong heard Jing Zetian's words, he was choking on tea, in addition to tea, ginger and garlic were added to the tea in this era, which directly caused Huang Lesong to be choked with red faces.
"Xiao Zhuozi, hurry up and bring a bowl of water to the shopkeeper Huang." Jing Zetian hurriedly instructed Xiao Zhuozi, he was also very upset in his heart, the other party swore so confidently to say this, obviously thinking that Jing Zetian would definitely know his details before buying his workshop, who knew that Jing Zetian really didn't have any experience in this area.
"Hehe, shopkeeper Huang, it seems that the reputation of your Huang family firm is still not enough." Zhang Rang joked with a smile that as businessmen, they were also familiar with each other before.
"Well, don't mind the shopkeeper Huang, just take this opportunity to introduce your Huang firm to you." Jing Zetian continued, and at the same time became curious about the Huang firm.
"Huh" Huang shopkeeper exhaled a long breath, calmed down, and said: "My Huang firm, the main business content, is to travel between the countries of the Western Regions and my Dahua, transport the specialties of the Western Regions countries back to China, and then sell the domestic specialties to the countries of the Western Regions. Huang Lesong said proudly.
"Oh? The shopkeeper Huang seems to be a very powerful businessman, although the family is not mainly engaged in business, but he still knows that this cross-border trade is very difficult. Jing Zetian continued.
"Well, that's natural, in my Dahua domestic business, the risk is naturally smaller, but the profit is too low, and the competition is very fierce, many big families have occupied a lot of resources in China, for example, this store belongs to the business family Zhen family, although the Zhen family has declined, but business experience, talents, and connections are much easier than those of us who start from scratch." Huang Lesong said helplessly.
This Jing Zetian can also understand why the family gate valve can stand tall, because they have a wealth of knowledge reserves, talent reserves, if they are not exterminated, as long as there is a chance, they will always make a comeback.
The Zhen family is an example, although the political resources are gone, but after all, it is also the former four major business families, and the experience and talents in the family about business are naturally not comparable to ordinary families, so they can quickly recover their vitality, and this time Zhen Caier canonized as a noblewoman, then the benefits to the Zhen family are also great, even if Mrs. Zhen does not support the Zhen family, but ordinary people have to give the Zhen family face.
"Well, then what is the reason why Shopkeeper Huang sold the wood workshop this time?" Jing Zetian continued to ask, on time.
"You also know that my Huang's firm is mainly engaged in cross-border trade, and the original construction of this wood workshop was to test the domestic situation, after all, my Huang's firm is in the multinational business bank, and it has developed to a bottleneck, and I am still in the prime of life, and I don't want to stop there. At that time, I had predicted that my Dahua would soon stabilize, everything would be in ruins, and the demand for wood products in our country should increase greatly, so I had this workshop to test the water. The shopkeeper Huang said in detail.
When Jing Zetian heard his words, he couldn't help but admire in his heart, because he came through time, his knowledge was much stronger than that of the current people, but in terms of details, he was still not as good as these businessmen who had been in business all his life.
"Oh? So why did the yellow shopkeeper give up now? Jing Zetian asked suspiciously, it is said that the shopkeeper Huang is a powerful businessman, otherwise he would not be able to operate cross-border trade.
"I think too highly of myself, doing business in China is different from transnational, transnational only need to sell domestic specialties, there is no in their country, the competitive pressure is much smaller, and there are not many transnational trade firms in my Dahua, we are easy to work together to control prices, after all, goods are never sold." Huang shopkeeper said and took another sip of tea, and continued: "But the difference in China, as far as wood products are concerned, those merchants or firms specializing in wood products have their own stable buyers, and they also have their own reputation among wood products sellers, although I predict that the demand for wood products will increase, but other businessmen are not incompetent, whether it is technology, price or fame, my wood products have always been difficult to gain a foothold in Hua'an City." Huang shopkeeper said helplessly, it seems that he has also been hit hard, and he was full of confidence to open the domestic market, but he failed at the beginning.
"Don't be discouraged by Shopkeeper Huang, after all, you are just testing the waters, and there is no harm to your interests, so I am different." Zhang Rang, who had been listening to it for a long time, also said at this moment.
"Oh, why did Shopkeeper Zhang sell your workshop?" Jing Zetian asked.
When he heard the words of the shopkeeper Huang, he already had an eighty percent grasp of today's cooperation in his heart, it depends on what he will say later, Jing Zetian thought.
