Chapter 20: The Big Deal
It was getting late, and in the twilight, the stars and lights were lit up in Zhongshan County, and in the Su Mansion, two middle-aged men were sitting opposite each other in the brightly lit hall.
"Shopkeeper Su, I heard that there is a white disaster outside the gate, we may be able to make a big deal." Zhang Shiping said to Su Shuang.
"Shopkeeper Zhang wants to sell grain over there?" Su Shuang groaned, "It's just that there are mostly Hu people outside the gate, how much oil and water can there be?" I'm afraid that the gains outweigh the losses. β
"Shopkeeper Su, the Hu people don't have any money, but they can exchange horses for it!" Zhang Shiping continued, "The war in the customs is endless, and there is a great demand for war horses, and a large number of war horses are not worried about selling in this troubled world!" You're sure to make a lot of money! β
"That's right." Su Shuang nodded, "So, how much grain does Shopkeeper Zhang plan to sell this time?" β
"In my opinion, it's better to sell 100,000 stones to test the water first." Zhang Shiping said, "Besides, food and military horses are scarce in this troubled world, and they are not worried about rotting in their hands." β
"Tut, it's 100,000 stones, it seems that Shopkeeper Zhang has made a lot of money this time." Sue shuang quipped.
"Shopkeeper Su, don't laugh." Zhang Shiping shook his head and smiled, "How can I compare with you, you are thicker than my waist when you pluck a hair." β
The two are both Zhongshan giants, and they know each other well.
Zhang Shiping came here to ventilate with Su Shuang and make a fortune together.
"Haha! Then Su also sold 100,000 stones to test the water. Su Shuang laughed.
As he spoke, a family member knocked on the door.
"What's the matter?" Su Shuang immediately asked.
"Two masters, there are three Yuan soldiers outside the mansion who want to see you." Jia Ding said.
Hearing this, Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang were also stunned.
Su Shuang looked at Zhang Shiping, but saw that Zhang Shiping was also looking at him, and they both saw a trace of worry in each other's eyes.
Since the news of funding Liu Guan and Zhang and the three of them spread, it can be said that there is an endless stream of people who come to visit, and when they come, they ask for money and food, which has made the two of them annoyed.
If it was an ordinary person, he would have asked the family to drive him away, but this time it was someone under Yuan Shao's command who came......
That's a problem!
Zhang Shiping subconsciously wanted to refuse, but Su Shuang spoke before him.
"Bring those three in." Su Shuang said leisurely.
"Yes!"
The family stepped back.
Zhang Shiping on the side frowned and said, "Shopkeeper Su, why did you see it!?" Surely they are here to ask for money and food again! β
He subconsciously thought that the two had been targeted by Yuan Shao.
"Shopkeeper Zhang, I don't want to." Su Shuang smiled bitterly, "It's just that since Yuan Shao has sent people here, if he refuses to leave, it won't give Yuan Shao face." β
"Alas! All right! β
Zhang Shiping could only admit it, after all, the two of them were doing business on Yuan Shao's territory, and they still had to give him a little face.
After about a stick of incense, Wang Wu and his entourage finally came to the hall of Sufu.
At this moment, Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping had already adjusted their mentality, and secretly looked at Wang Wu and others.
Although the appearance of the first person is mediocre, a black armor is to add a bit of slaughter to it, and then a silver-armored warrior is born with an extraordinary appearance, and the instrument is magnificent, but it can be seen from his position that the status of this silver-armored warrior is obviously inferior to the person who is the leader.
As a businessman, Su Shuang has seen more people, but he has never seen a few people with a momentum like Zhao Yun.
If there is, it is also the general under the major warlords!
And such a person with the style of a general was standing behind Wang Wu, which surprised Su Shuang's heart, and he was even more curious about Wang Wu.
As for Zhang Cang, oh, no matter how you look at it, he looks like a big-headed soldier!
"I don't know why the general came to my Su Mansion this time?" Su Shuangdao.
This is Su Shuang!?
When Wang Wu heard this, he immediately looked aside, so this person may be Zhang Shiping.
Since Su Shuang asked, Wang Wu was not ambiguous, and after handing over the handwritten letter to the two, he immediately said: "A certain is a pioneer captain under the command of Yuan Xigongzi, but this time I came to discuss a big deal with the two shopkeepers. β
"Big deal!? Cut! Zhang Shiping sneered, and then said impatiently, "Do you want money or food!?" Go ahead! How much to get! β
Although Zhang Shiping's attitude was very disdainful, Wang Wu was not annoyed, but just joked: "Shopkeeper Zhang is bold, and he doesn't ask what kind of business it is?" β
"Humph!" Zhang Shiping snorted coldly and stopped talking.
Turning to look at Su Shuang, Wang Wu said calmly: "I want to borrow 300,000 stones from the two shopkeepers on behalf of Yuan Xigongzi. β
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became weird, the air was terrifyingly quiet, and Su Shuang looked at Wang Wu in disbelief, opened his mouth, and was speechless.
"300,000 stones!?" Zhang Shiping, who was looking at him coldly from the side, immediately exploded, and immediately shouted, "300,000 stones!" Why don't you go and grab it! β
"300,000 stones...... But it's a bit too much. At this time, Su Shuang, who had a calmer personality, also said slowly.
is also a giant businessman in Zhongshan, 300,000 stones, even if the two of them can get together and take it out, it will hurt their vitality.
"Shopkeeper Su is wrong." Wang Wu raised his eyebrows, and then said, "As businessmen, presumably the two of you will not only value the small profits in front of you, if you help Gongzi this time, Gongzi will inherit the great favor of the two." With the character of the son, he will never live up to the kindness of the two shopkeepers. β
"Humph! If you want to fund Yuan Shao's faction, Yuan Tan or Yuan Shang, which one is not stronger than Yuan Xi? Zhang Shiping said immediately.
After Zhang Shiping finished speaking, Su Shuang also expressed his opinion: "Shopkeeper Zhang is right, Yuan Tan, as the eldest son, can inherit his status and power after Yuan Gong is a hundred years old, and Yuan Shang is deeply loved by Yuan Gong, which is also a good choice." But what about Yuan Xi? He has always been in an awkward position in Yuan Shao's forces, and the risk of investing in the other two is much smaller than that of Yuan Xi. β
"Since both of you have said this, I might as well say it directly." Wang Wu also immediately continued, "From an investment point of view, the words of the two shopkeepers are not unreasonable. It's just that Yuan Tan has Guo Tu below, Wu has Wang Zhao, and Yuan Shang also has trial and Ma Yan next to him...... With such a force, will they lack people around them to support them? It's just the icing on the cake that the two of them went, they won't look at the two shopkeepers differently! β
"And Yuan Xi Gongzi, as the two said, is in an absolute weak position in the battle of the sons, there is no strong aid outside, there is no money inside, if the two can get funding at this time, for Yuan Xi Gongzi, it is tantamount to sending charcoal in the snow! Yuan Xi Gongzi will also be remembered for the five. β
Zhang Shiping said: "In case Yuan Xi loses in the battle of the son, what is the use of Minggan Wunei?" β
Wang Wu said with a smile: "Since ancient times, risk and return have been proportional. The higher the return, the greater the risk. Do the two shopkeepers know the origin of the word "strange goods"? β
Then, without waiting for the two to answer, Wang Wu said to himself: "LΓΌ Buwei was originally a traveling businessman, but he successfully ascended to the position of prime minister of Qin State because of his sponsorship of Zichu, isn't this a successful venture capital?" Are the two really willing to stay in Zhongshan County for the rest of their lives and be a little rich businessman? β
"Moreover, if you really want to talk about it, Zichu's situation at that time was even more embarrassing than that of Yuan Xigongzi, he was just a hostage at that time, and even the most basic daily financial resources could not be guaranteed, and although Yuan Xigongzi was not favored, he also had soldiers and generals, and held real power, so isn't this a big deal?"
Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping looked at each other, and they both saw a glimmer of light in each other's eyes, and bet!
The profit of ploughing the field is ten times, the pearl and jade win a hundred times, and the lord of the country wins innumerable!
From the businessman, the power in hand, the profit is endless!
