Chapter 24: Yang Lang, the Disciple of Mo
The deal went well, and all the goods, minus the white wolf skins that had been retained, were sold at the right price. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Unlike in the past, this transaction led by Li Yu gave the people of the market a different impression. Unlike those ordinary mountain people who are very arrogant, the villagers under Li Yu's command are polite and know the rules very well. The point is that when it comes to price, the difference between these villagers is fully expressed.
Some businessmen are cheating and cheating, and when quoting, it is often the case that three times seven equals twenty. In the past, it was fooled if I couldn't say it, after all, most of the mountain people were illiterate and didn't know how to count. However, when encountering the villagers under Li Yu's command, it is not good, especially this time Li Yu even brought Ouyang Xing over, if he dares to use his crooked brains, he will simply smash the signboard.
After some trading, more than 500 guan were sold, which was about 70 guan higher than expected. The merchants couldn't help but shout hell, they had never seen the mountain people so clever. I can't help but wonder if this mountain man is pretending.
Neat clothes, clean appearance. Although it is still coarse linen, there is a kind of calmness and confidence. Compared with those numb or wooden mountain people, it is almost a heaven and a place.
Those ordinary mountain people, and even the mountain people from neighboring villages, even dwarfed a little when they saw this. Originally, those who knew each other didn't dare to come forward to say hello, and when they took the initiative to say hello, they were also lacking in qi and had no confidence at all, and they couldn't do it as easily as before.
"The transaction volume is 572 yuan, 229 yuan of tax needs to be paid, and I have another 100 yuan for other uses, and the remaining 243 yuan is used to buy materials, and the list is handed over to me to deal with, no matter what, it will not make everyone suffer...... Take out another 13 pieces, everyone is going to have fun today! Li Yu made a simple calculation, then put all the money in the frame, turned around and was about to leave.
"Village Chief, do you need us to accompany you?" Ouyang Xing suddenly asked.
"Peace of mind, trading is not troublesome!" Li Yu smiled and said that he was very relaxed, but in fact, he didn't want others to follow him.
After all, where there are such cheap materials, in the final analysis, he exchanged them with prestige points. But you can't just conjure things out of thin air, can you? In order to keep it secret, he can only make every transaction as secretive as possible.
Of course, he also planned to go and see the situation of the three merchants. If he could, he planned to gradually train one or two to become a royal merchant. Over time, those daily necessities or something, it is best to buy them directly, and if you always exchange them for prestige, it will make the subsequent development very difficult.
Ouyang Xing and the others were mainly worried about Li Yu's safety, after all, his lack of force was well known. A person without force carrying hundreds of coins on his back is not very safe no matter how you look at it. Although there are all mountain people here, there are also some bad people.
Fortunately, Li Yu found the three merchants in a short time, and they seemed to be in one place in order to facilitate Li Yu's search. Originally, Li Yu thought that they would all flee with the money, or he was already mentally prepared for this. In fact, he underestimated the simplicity of the people of this era.
In fact, it is not difficult to understand that these small businessmen have no background behind them, so they rely on integrity and relatively cost-effective prices to make some hard-earned money. This kind of person will naturally not smash his signboard, otherwise who will dare to sell things to them after it is spread out, even if he will laugh at Li Yu for being stupid X at the same time.
"The three of them are really sincere and trustworthy people, and Li really didn't trust anyone!" Li Yu immediately greeted him with a smile.
"Where, if it weren't for Brother Li's investment, I wouldn't have made so much money this time!" One of the merchants laughed.
Although Li Yu only invested 50 yuan, it was more than double their original 30 yuan. With this money, they purchased more or even more valuable goods, and the price they sold after arriving in Jiangbei was naturally more.
This time, the harvest is far more than making some hard-earned money before. In the past, the things they bought were mainly for the people at the bottom, but now they can also face those second-class dealers, even the poor or small families. Especially those families, that is the rich master, and the money earned from them is really much!
In the end, after deducting 80 yuan of the capital, they still have 30 yuan of net profit. According to the previous agreement, 15 of them belonged to Li Yu. This time, they only earned 15 yuan, which is still 5% more profit than the previous one, which is only about 10 yuan.
The important thing is that this time the relationship between the merchant and the family has been opened, and the business will become bigger in the future, and it is impossible to find a certain family as the backstage, so that they can also develop from a small merchant to a caravan, or even a big chamber of commerce!
"Well, this time I brought 210 guan, plus the original 65, each person can take 135. I want to buy shares, divided into two percent of the dry shares, I don't know if it is possible? Li Yu solemnly didn't take the money directly, but directly put the frame in front of them, and pulled off the cloth covering it, revealing the yellow and clear copper coins inside.
The three of them couldn't help but breathe a little faster, knowing that their capital was only about 40 yuan, which was the liquidity they could come up with. With 135 more as capital all of a sudden, they can do more.
"This is the first investment, and there will be more to come. I hope that everyone can become bigger and stronger than the three, after all, this is a win-win situation. Relatively speaking, 2 into dry stocks, not much, right? Li Yu asked with a smile.
"Not much, really not much...... It's just that Brother Li doesn't know that if you want to develop and grow, you will inevitably have to take refuge in the family. With them in front of us, it will be much easier for us to move in the official arena. Because of this, we often give 50% of the profits to them, and then 20% of the profits to Brother Li, which is inevitable......" one of the businessmen said embarrassed.
"Why do you need to share so much profit!" Li Yu didn't expect this to happen, isn't this a direct holding in terms of shares? The family can't say that it doesn't even need to do anything, as long as it opens a certificate to confirm the relationship between the Chamber of Commerce and him, he can enjoy 5% of the profit, which is almost faster than robbing a bank.
"We are small businessmen who have no backing, and if we want to get the help of the family, we naturally need to sacrifice something. Otherwise, the Maison itself has a business, how can they make them bigger? In the past, the guests were mainly ordinary people, and those guys had to hesitate for a long time to buy something, and even if they wanted to buy it, they kept bargaining, and in the end we just made a hard money, and the family naturally didn't look down on this business.
If we become bigger and stronger, then the guests in the future will be the big families, the royal family and nobles, which originally all the families have done this business. We have to abide by this rule no matter how we come in, otherwise they will unite against us, and even if you have a fortune, you will have to have your family property confiscated, go to prison with hatred, and finally die in prison. Another businessman replied.
"What Brother Zhang said is that 5 percent is actually very low, such as those who have no backers, the middle family is only afraid of asking for 6 percent of the profit, and the big family has to ask for 7 percent of the profit. Although the profit share is smaller, the overall profit is much more than before, and we are still making more money than before. It's just that if Brother Li also wants to buy shares...... The younger brother is helpless, and he can only divide 1% of the shares at most! Earlier businessmen immediately took a stand.
"I can also give 1% of the shares here!" The other also made an immediate statement.
"I can give 2% of the profit here, if Brother Li invests all this money, 3% will not be a problem!" Before the last merchant could speak, the attendant next to him suddenly spoke.
"Can you call the shots?" Li Yu noticed this man early on, and it was difficult for people not to pay attention to his nearly one-meter-nine height. The key is the cloth bag behind him, which looks like some kind of long weapon no matter how you look at it.
This man looks a little sloppy on the outside, and if he is clean, he should be a handsome man, about twenty years old, not very muscular but very well-proportioned. The key is his eyes, the eagle-eyed wolf Gu probably feels like this, right?
Just a simple look into his eyes, there was a feeling of being locked by a hunter, very uncomfortable.
"He can represent me!" The merchant immediately replied, and it was clear that the man's identity should be above the merchant.
"Momen Yang Lang, I've seen Brother Li!" The man smiled yes and stepped forward to salute and introduce himself.
Hearing the word Momen, the other two merchants immediately threw down the 65 guan and slipped away without saying a word. That feeling, just like avoiding the plague god, is Momen so terrifying?
"Hasn't the inheritance of Momen been broken yet?" Li Yu's reaction was this.
"Of course, the inheritance of Momen cannot be broken, and even the inheritance of the Zongheng family, the military family, the Legalist family and the Taoist family has not been broken. It's just that now that Confucianism is in vogue, we have to back down. Yang Lang said with a smile.
It is also said that the rise of Confucianism has only been more than 300 years, and even if other schools are not popular, they will not be cut off. Not to mention the Vertical and Horizontal Families, Legalists, Soldiers, and Taoists, even if there is no guild place, their classics should still exist in the world. It is said that there are many big families, ostensibly Confucian, but they take the route of external Confucianism and internal law.
"Speaking of which, why are they ......" Li Yu pointed in the direction where the two merchants had fled.
"In recent decades, many rangers and thieves have pretended to be disciples of my Mo Sect to cause chaos everywhere, causing my Mo family's reputation to drop a lot. Not to mention the distance, there are several bandit leaders on the nearby river who claim to be disciples of Momen...... Anyway, Brother Li knew this, but was he afraid? Yang Lang asked with a smile, and a murderous aura was directly released, Li Yu still recognized this thing.
It's just that Li Yu didn't mean to be afraid at all, and slowly replied: "If those are pretending to be Momen disciples, then I don't know if Your Excellency is real or fake?" If it is true, then Li does not seem to need to be afraid at all. If it's fake, can Li's small body still be able to resist? It's just that I don't understand, why do thieves who want to rob property agree to share 30% of the profits? ”
"Haha, Brother Li is a wonderful person! Yang really doubts, are you really a mountain person? Yang Lang asked with squinted eyes.
"Li is a remnant of the pre-Qin period, and he only came out of the seclusion recently, but he happened to enter the village of the mountain people. The former village head, Zu Heng, was kind to him, and he put the village in the hands of him, so he was reasonable, and he had to take care of the village properly......" Li Yu naturally explained.
"Brother Li is a loving and righteous person! Yang admires! When Yang Lang heard this, he bowed, "As for Yang's identity, he is indeed a member of the Momen, but he is only a nominal disciple." This businessman Momen is directly subordinate to someone, and that person has a special status in Momen, although he has no real power, he can also let Momen give him face.
What Yang said before was true, but now there are indeed many rangers or bandits who do bad things under the guise of our Momen, and there are also many real disciples of our Momen. In the end, the former is under the banner of our Momen, so it will also give some care to those who hold Momen tokens. Therefore, in the background, I don't need to give anyone profits, so it's not a problem to divide your profits into 3 percent! I just hope that Brother Li will tell Yang, what are your plans to invest in and grow a caravan? ”
Then he patted his head and continued: "There are many people here, why don't we talk in detail in another place?" ”
"Good!" Li Yu replied happily, to be honest, he also had a great curiosity about Momen.
