Chapter 188: POV: Bian Luan Mountain, Wealth Rolling in (2)
This is the highlight of today, many people are here for this order, after all, not everyone can be like Wang Tong because of a blessing in disguise, and if he makes a big mess, he can still be favored by Liu Gongqing. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info but this order is different, as long as you have the ability, the way, and the capital, you can get a piece of the pie. Even if you are a small businessman, you can earn a little bit.
Bian Luanshan looked at the invitation card in his hand, the gilded red invitation card had the name "Wu Huzi" written on it, which he had taken a lot of effort to trick from a businessman. Along with the invitation, there is also a detailed procurement rule, which gives a detailed method for this procurement, and the businessmen are all elites, so they have eaten this rule thoroughly.
"The first item, grain and grass!" Liu Gong spoke loudly, the first item is the most important.
"Fighting a war is fighting logistics, and the army can't eat enough, even if it's a heavenly soldier or a general, it can't be played, so this grain and grass is what I pay the most attention to. At present, most of the land in Nanzhili is planted with cash crops, such as cotton and fruit trees, and few people grow grain, so they can only buy from Huguang. My procurement plan is divided into three phases, the first phase is to purchase 5 million stones, and the purchase will be completed within two years, focusing on the summer harvest and autumn harvest, half of rice and half of wheat. Start subscribing now, the minimum is 100,000 stones, and the maximum is unlimited, but if you can't do it, you have to give me twice the liquidated damages! ”
As soon as Liu Gong's words came out, a big businessman immediately shouted: "The villain's Zhang family firm is willing to subscribe for 200,000 stones, and it is guaranteed not to exceed 180,000 taels!" "200,000 stone and 180,000 taels, that is, nine coins of silver per stone, a little lower than the market price, but after all, he is wholesale, and it is concentrated in the summer harvest and autumn harvest, the price will definitely be lower, and there will always be some earnings.
Bian Luanshan also understands that this grain line, if you don't hoard it, you will go with small profits and quick turnover, after all, the grain storage warehouse will rot, it is better to sell it to make some money to facilitate turnover. What's more, if you sell one or two more grains, the opponent will have one or two less to sell, even if you don't make a penny, as long as you can turn around normally, the opponent will gradually decay, as long as the opponent is expelled from the market, when the time comes, it is not up to you to say how much to sell!
"Good!" Liu Gong nodded: "Jun'er, write it to him!" As he spoke, a handsome young man stepped forward and ordered someone to bring a large wooden board painted with black lacquer, and wrote on it with a lime pen: "Zhang's firm is 200,000 stones, no more than 180,000 taels." ”
This means that everyone will see how much they bid before, and the one with the lowest price will get it, which is definitely not good news for the merchants, because in order to win Liu Gong's order, they can only compete to cut the meat, and it depends on who has the lowest profit and who can have the last laugh. But there is no way, who let Liu Gong have money in his hands and can purchase on a large scale, it would be stupid to let such a big customer not hurry up.
Even if you don't make money, as long as you keep the money flowing, and the water doesn't rot, it's excellent!
In fact, if the merchants unite to lower the price, Liu Gong can't do anything, after all, he can't use a knife to force them to reduce the price, but once Liu Gong is famous, and he has just shown his sword, no one dares to make a mistake; Second, the merchants were not aligned, it was impossible to be unified, and as long as one person rebelled, the alliance would be finished.
It's like two people being arrested, if they both confess, they will both be sentenced, and if they don't recruit, they will be fine, one will recruit one and the other will not recruit, and those who recruit will have nothing to do but will be unlucky. With such a calculation, it is better to recruit them all, and strike first, so as not to be killed by others.
Thinking about it this way, Liu Gong's method is really powerful, he does not lower the price himself, but forces the merchant to cut his own flesh!
High, really high!
With the pioneers, there are the descendants. The first merchant made a bid to set the tone for this bidding, and as long as others still wanted to do this business, they could not be much higher than him.
The businessmen bid one after another, the scene was very lively, the young man named Zhou Jun was dizzy when he heard it, he couldn't write this or that, he couldn't be busy at all, and couldn't help shouting: "Don't shout, shouting makes me have a headache!" Simply, you guys line up, come and write it yourself, and everyone supervises! ”
This method is not bad, and the merchants nodded their heads and applauded, and spontaneously lined up according to the size of their net worth and prepared to bid.
The competition for five million stones of grain was soon over, which made Bian Luanshan marvel in his heart, the strength of this Nanzhi merchant is really extraordinary, according to the average price of eight coins and six cents of one stone of silver, this is four million and three hundred thousand taels of silver!
Four million and three thousand taels, how much is the positive tax for the entire Ming Dynasty in a year? It doesn't seem like there are so many!
Bian Luanshan had some doubts in his heart, this Liu Gong bought so much grain in one go, did he have any money to pay for it?
It seems that some businessmen also have such thoughts, and a businessman raises his hand, which is also Liu Gong's request. His request was granted, so he stood up and said, "Dare to ask Liu Gong, how to pay for the four million and three hundred thousand taels of silver?" He couldn't help but doubt that after all, Liu Gong copied Wei Zhongxian, and he lost two or three million taels of silver, which was only an ordinary amount of four and three million taels, not to mention that this money was still very useful, and it was impossible to use it all to buy food.
When he said this, he was a little apprehensive, and it was obvious that he had dealt with businessmen of similar status before, and although their net worth were different, no one was much more noble than the other. But now it's different, this is the future Zaifu figure of the Ming Dynasty, and the de facto King of Songjiang at the moment, if he offends him, I'm afraid that the whole family will have to die the next day!
Liu Gong laughed, looking quite appreciative: "Very good, this official likes you who dare to ask." To tell the truth, I only have 2.16 million yuan in cash on hand, which is only enough to pay half of the payment. ”
No one was surprised when he said this, the merchants had already inquired about Liu Gong's net worth before they came, and knew that at least one or two million silver could be used, even if it was a business of 100,000 taels, it was still an income, not to mention the potential income after establishing a relationship with the court officials.
Liu Gong looked at them and said slowly: "However, I will never let you suffer. First, this silver is not paid in a lump sum, but a one-time payment for the goods, and after the payment is settled, it is put into the warehouse, and you can not give food if you don't see the silver, which extends the time to two years, and I can raise it slowly; Second, I plan to use the products in the factory to settle the bill, for example, the market price of my crystal mirror is 5,000 taels, this mirror I will give you a 20% discount of 4,000 taels, if you don't want it, you can also ask for cash, this is just a product in my factory, there are other products, I will talk to you slowly later; Third, the land of Yizhou can also be sold, these are good land for two or three crops a year, and Yizhou is just open, it is the time when all kinds of waste are thriving, if you buy land there, Yizhou will be developed in the future, this is your family's hard-won foundation! ”
Bian Luanshan nodded again and again after hearing this, except for the third of these three points, which is a little illusory, after all, the wild goose has not been beaten yet, Liu Gong thought about whether it was steamed or boiled, and the other two points were very reliable. As for the third point, Bian Luanshan did not doubt it, after all, with Liu Gong's mind, means, and scheming, he really couldn't think of a reason for Liu Gong's failure.
In this way, this business is really profitable, if it weren't for Bian Luanshan being a liar with ethics and ideals, I'm afraid that I would be doing business from a good point now!
After the grain matter is settled, the next thing is other raw materials, including millions of catties of iron ore and pig iron, hundreds of thousands of catties of saltpeter sulfur, hundreds of thousands of catties of charcoal, millions of catties of charcoal, as for other strange raw materials such as quicklime, alkali, sand and so on. Bian Luanshan didn't pay much attention to these things, after all, what he did was a side business that had not been opened for three years and had been open for three years, and he couldn't look down on these small interests at all.
Bian Luan Mountain has been through the rivers and lakes for a long time, and it can be seen at a glance that Liu Gong wants to make gunpowder and build weapons, which is understandable, after all, the expedition to Yizhou is not a trivial matter, although Liu Gong's army is full of elite, but it is only flesh and blood, and it cannot compete with steel knives and iron blades. If there is no one to take advantage of it, it will be a martyr's death in vain.
"The emperor actually allowed Liu Gong to make firearms, this is not simple!" Although he has never entered the army and does not know the method of marching in battle, he also knows that this firearm is the important weapon of the military state, the so-called "sharp weapon of the country, can not be shown to others", the Son of Heaven can let Liu Gong make firearms, and he also has great trust in Liu Gong.
As for saltpeter, although it is a military-controlled commodity, but now all the systems are abandoned, not to mention that Liu Gong is an official of the imperial court, and he was ordered by the king to go to Yizhou, which is glorious and righteous in itself, and cannot be pushed, even ordinary businessmen have a way to get saltpeter, otherwise they don't have to eat this bowl of rice.
However, what puzzled Bian Luanshan was that Liu Gong bought a large number of all kinds of lard and butter, could it be that he wanted to refine lard? Fatty meat is more hungry than lean meat, so the price is higher than lean meat, and it is also the best food for military training. I heard that Liu Gong's soldiers are paid and fed, and they have meat to eat almost every day, and all kinds of fats and fats are openly supplied, so it's no wonder that the soldiers are so elite. But with so much lard, Liu Gong only has more than 4,000 soldiers, and even if he eats lard as a meal, it is impossible to eat it all, isn't it extremely strange!
"Liu Gong is methodical and must have it, but I'm afraid that this is also related to Liu Gong's products, but Liu Gong is too high, I don't know what the hell he wants to do." Bian Luanshan thought about it secretly, and the curiosity in his heart became deeper and deeper.
After doing these bidding, it is the new product promotion stage that the businessmen are most concerned about, although they do not refuse to come to large orders, but the businessmen have always been the most curious, if Liu Gong really has the legendary glass cup comparable to the glass of the Western Regions, the crystal mirror that can be seen in the virtual room, and the fragrant pancreas that is not clean, he can get a piece of the pie, then it is a source of money!
