Chapter 21: The True Wealthy Merchant
Wang Wu's words ignited the pride in Zhang Shiping's heart, and he even imagined the scene of the future businessmen without domain and coexistence!
After all, since the four classes of farmers and businessmen were divided, merchants have always been in the lowest position!
This is also the pain in the hearts of all businessmen in the world!
Even if the family has a lot of money, he is still looked down upon by the scholars!
If you become a businessman, and then improve the social status of a businessman, the merit is almost comparable to Tao Zhu!
Although Zhang Shiping quickly hid this excitement, Wang Wu still noticed it.
However, Wang Wu noticed that Su Shuang still seemed to have some doubts.
Strike while the iron is hot, Wang Wu immediately continued: "What's more, if you fund Yuan Xigongzi, the two shopkeepers will soon see the benefits!" ”
"Oh!?" As soon as he heard this, Su Shuang, who was still hesitating, immediately responded, and asked instead, "How do you say this?" ”
Wang Wu doesn't care about showing his hole cards, since he is a master who doesn't see rabbits and doesn't scatter eagles, then give him a rabbit.
"Before this expedition, Duke Yuan promised Gongzi Yuan Xi that if he captured Yidi and defeated Gongsun Zhan, he would appoint Gongzi to serve as the assassin of Youzhou." Wang Wu paused, and then said slowly, "Youzhou connects Jizhou, Saibei and Liaodong County, and is a necessary place for grain and horses. ”
This sentence made Su Shuang can't help but change color!
What is the most lucrative thing in business!? It's a monopoly!
Once the monopoly of the carriage and horse trade is obtained, then the price of goods is not determined by itself!?
As giant businessmen in Zhongshan County, Chen Shiping and Su Shuang naturally understand this truth.
Once the monopoly is obtained, then no one can touch this cake except for the two of them!
What's more, it's just an appetizer!
This appetizer alone can make two people a lot of money, but what about after that?
What if the pie drawn by Wang Wu really came true!?
The lord of the country has won countless victories!
Zhang Shiping was very excited!
Yourself, maybe you will become a pioneer of the times!
An era that belongs to merchants!
As for Su Shuang, the scale in Su Shuang's heart finally leaned towards Yuan Xi!
He is not without foresight, otherwise he would not have funded Liu Guanzhang and the others, but this time, he needs to bet on all his net worth and gamble that he is not careful!
But now, he's made his decision!
This kind of opportunity doesn't come up very often, and once he misses it, he will regret it for the rest of his life!
"Let's sit down and talk about it." Su Shuang said.
Hearing this, Wang Wu's hanging heart finally landed, and it was done!
Although Wang Wu had long known that this would be the result, he was still a little worried before the final result was revealed, what if the historical records were wrong, Su Shuang and Zhang Shuangping were two fools? Then he will want to cry without tears, but fortunately, the historical records are quite reliable.
Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping are really big businessmen with vision and ambition.
"Haha! Then thank you to Shopkeeper Su. Wang Wu sat down with a smile.
"The general just said that he would borrow 300,000 stones?" Zhang Shiping asked.
Wang Wu nodded and said, "That's right, at least 300,000 stones." ”
Wang Wu quoted this number in the spirit of asking for a sky-high price to sit on the ground and repay the money, but when he thinks about it, the grain and grass that he really needs to use is almost the same amount.
One stone of grain can usually be converted into 120 catties, enough for one person to eat for two months, and 300,000 stone is enough to feed the group of Xianbei women and children for half a year and have a surplus, after half a year, Xianbei women and children will be able to be self-reliant, and they no longer need to rely on Yuan Xi for help.
Su Shuang frowned and said, "300,000 stones is a bit much. ”
Wang Wu's eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice: "Shopkeeper Su's words are boring, you and Shopkeeper Zhang are famous giant businessmen in Zhongshan, and 300,000 stone grain is just a drizzle for you, right?" ”
Su Shuang smiled bitterly: "If the year is good, 300,000 stone is really nothing, but in recent years, the collection of CD in Zhongshan County has not been very good, and last year there was even a big disaster, and the government borrowed 500,000 stone grain from our government in the name of disaster relief, and then did not say when it would be returned......
Wang Wu said suddenly: "There is no need to say these words, Shopkeeper Su, please say it directly, borrow or not?" ”
"Borrow!" Zhang Shiping said categorically, "It's just that you can borrow 100,000 stones first, and leave 200,000 stones for us a month to prepare slowly?" ”
"Uh, huh?" Wang Wu was stunned when he heard this, then he slapped his head and said with a smile, "It's no wonder that the two shopkeepers didn't make it clear that you don't need to take out the 300,000 stone grain at once, as long as you can take it out within three months." ”
"That's even more fine." Zhang Shiping laughed.
"General!" Su Shuang said again, "One hundred thousand stones of grain can be prepared within three days, but I don't know where to send it?" ”
"Transported to the pass of the Great Wall within seven days." Wang Wu said in a deep voice.
"Seven days!?" Su Shuang immediately frowned again when he heard this.
"Any questions?" Wang Wu asked.
The time limit given to him by Yuan Xi is ten days, but he must leave a little margin for himself, otherwise Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping will not be able to get the food within ten days, and he will have an incompetent impression in front of Yuan Xi, which he categorically cannot tolerate, and now he is still in the stage of earning impression points.
"Can the general give a few more days, how about half a month?" Su Shuang said.
"No way!" Wang Wu flatly refused.
Su Shuang was awe-struck when he heard this, and said with a bitter face: "The general doesn't know, this is a long way to go to the pass, and it takes time to prepare and transport grain and grass!" In just seven days, it can't be! ”
Wang Wu then thought that the three of them had rushed to Zhongshan County within three days, and it was naturally impossible to transport grain and grass so quickly!
But...... The military order is like a mountain!
I have already played a package ticket in front of Yuan Xi!
The atmosphere in the living room immediately became tense.
Just when Wang Wuwei was about to collapse, Zhang Shiping suddenly slapped his thigh and said: "Seven days is seven days!" That's it! ”
Su Shuang hurriedly said: "Shopkeeper Zhang, what's wrong with you?" ”
"It doesn't matter." Zhang Shiping waved his hand and said, "I have carefully calculated, we will send grain directly from Yizhuang in the north of Changshan County, and hire more people and horses along the way, we should be able to transport the grain to the pass of the Great Wall within seven days, and the time will be in time!" But ......"
After a pause, Zhang Shiping said to Wang Wu again: "General, what you promised for Yuan Xigongzi is that after he becomes the assassin of Youzhou, we must sign an agreement to allow us to monopolize the chariot and horse trade. ”
"Yes." Wang Wu nodded happily, this was originally the condition approved by Yuan Xi.
Su Shuang immediately ordered someone to bring paper and pen, and then wrote the agreement in duplicate, Wang Wu didn't say a word, and signed his name at the bottom, and then stamped the seal.
Zhang Shiping dried the ink, looked at the agreement again, and laughed: "Since Yuan Xigongzi and the general are so happy, but we are not stingy people, we don't have to pay back the 300,000 stone grain, just think that our brother funded Yuan Xigongzi!" ”
Su Shuang also stood up and said, "We also wish Yuan Xi Gongzi a victory in the battle against Gongsun Zhan and a great achievement!" ”
Wang Wu couldn't help but be slightly moved, this Su Shuang, Zhang Shiping is really not an ordinary businessman, a real wealthy businessman!
