In the face of the two people's questions one after another, Liu Fan did not get angry, but patiently explained to them, "Don't worry, everyone, listen to me tell you slowly." Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoCompared with the previous price, this is less than 100 wen per catty of coarse salt, which is indeed a bit low, but compared with the current salt price, the price of this 100 wen is not low. You seem to have ignored a very important issue, you only think about raising the price of salt to maintain your interests, but you don't think about whether the people of Jiangnan will accept it!

During this time, after the struggle between you and me, the current price of salt has been depressed to a very low range, what is the price of coarse salt on the market now? It's less than fifty! Even so, does anyone buy your coarse salt? The people have already tasted the sweetness of low-priced salt, and if we take the liberty of raising the price, will they buy it? Even if they will buy it, do you and me want the reputation of both sides? Once we raise the price of salt to a very high price, we will all become the object of disgust and hatred of the people! ”

"This..."Wu Zhi's expression froze, and he was still unwilling, "Mr. Liu, we only need to pay back the money we earn, why bother with those lowly grass people!" What was the price of salt before? These people are already lucky to be able to enjoy low-cost salt for a few days, do they still want to enjoy this treatment all the time? Besides, the price of salt in the world is like this, and we are not the only one in the south of the Yangtze River. Compared with other places, the price of salt in our Jiangnan is not high, right? Therefore, Wu suggested that we can ignore those people and directly restore the price of salt to its original state, so that both you and I can benefit from it! ”

"Huh!" Liu Fan smiled disdainfully and sneered, "Mouse eyes!" Even if you are shameless, the Governor still wants it! Tell you, you have to accept this price, and you have to accept it if you don't accept it! I don't talk about what the governor decides! ”

"You.." Wu Zhi was furious when he heard this, and said with a red face, "Liu Jimin, we are here to talk to you this time, not to be insulted by you, since you don't even owe a little sincerity, then we have nothing to talk about!" Leave! ”

After Wu Zhi finished speaking, he was about to turn around and leave with a wave of his sleeves. Seeing this, Zhao Yan hurriedly dissuaded: "Brother Wu, don't be rash, I don't think Lord General Bing is such an unreasonable person, since he decided so much, then there must be his reason, Brother Wu might as well listen to Lord General Bing's explanation before making a decision!" Zhao Yan grabbed Wu and Li, who wanted to leave, and turned his head to Liu Fan anxiously, "Lord Commander, you should explain quickly!" This is an opportunity that I have managed to get over, and will it be good for you to break down? ”

"Uh" Liu Fan touched his nose in embarrassment, he was also reflexively sarcastic about these Suzhou and Hangzhou salt merchants just now, but he didn't expect these people to be so irritated. Originally, according to Liu Fan's previous temperament, he usually drove people directly at this time. But for the sake of the 10 million taels of silver, Liu Fan decided that it would be better to be patient for the time being.

"The head of the Wu family stays!" Liu Fan stood up and saved, "There may have been some problems with Bendu's tone just now, but Bendu didn't really mean anything to you at all. The fact that the Governor has set the price of coarse salt at 100 wen is actually not much harm to you! Because you won't have to sell that kosher salt right now! Master Wu, do you think that with the secret recipe of the Governor, do you still need to sell those coarse salts that no one cares about? ”

Secret recipe! Zhao Yan and the three of them remembered that they were about to get the secret recipe that could purify the refined salt, and with this secret recipe, who would sell those coarse salts? When Liu Fan said this, the three of them suddenly realized that they had just walked into the misunderstanding of thinking, and they had been immersed in the previous mode of thinking, so they were angry when they heard that Liu Fan set the price so low. In fact, the price of coarse salt is basically useless to them. It's just that Wu Zhi and Li Wei just said that they were leaving, and their attitudes were so resolute, even if Liu Fan spoke out to keep them, it would be difficult to step down at this moment!

Just when the three of them were in a dilemma, Liu Fan continued, "In the future, you also have refined salt of the same quality as Jiaozhou Sea Salt, so naturally you don't need to sell those coarse salts." The Governor's decision to set the price of refined salt at more than 150 Wen is actually very beneficial to both of us, and this is also a decision made by the Governor after careful consideration! This cooperation is very sincere. Otherwise, I won't trade the foundation of my survival! It's a pity to miss this opportunity, but don't you regret it? Think about it! ”

"Mr. Liu is right!" Zhao Yan's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly pulled Wu and Li and said, "This cooperation is a decision that we made up our minds with great difficulty, if it is so fruitless, how can we explain to Old Man Wang and them?" Besides, Mr. Liu didn't have any bad intentions! Zizhang, Avi! You have to focus on the big picture! ”

"Alright then!" Li Wei borrowed the slope to get off the donkey, pulled Wu Zhi and turned to Liu Fan and bowed to Liu Fan and said, "Mr. Liu, the two of us were rude just now!" You have a lot of adults, don't be like us! ”

Liu Fan waved his hand very generously and said, "It's okay, cooperation, it is with an attitude of seeking common ground while reserving differences that we can succeed." After all, our interests are somewhat different, and some small frictions are inevitable, as long as we make it clear! If you are not satisfied with the price of 150 yuan, we can re-price it after a while, but we must maintain this price for now! Fame seems to be useless, but it actually has a great impact on us. You must be well aware of this, and it would be a good thing to be able to get enough benefits without damaging your reputation, right? ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" Zhao Yan nodded hurriedly and said, "It's still the chief soldier who is thoughtful, this time we blame you." Now that the chief soldier has thought about the things so clearly, let's do it according to your plan! The price of this salt is set at 150 Wen! ”

"Hmm!" Liu Fan smiled with satisfaction, and then said: "The price of one hundred and fifty wen is not too low, everyone is an insider, we all know very well what the process of making salt is." How much does a pound of salt cost? Dingtian is not more than ten yuan, even if the labor cost required to purify refined salt is only about fifteen yuan, and the price of being able to sell one hundred and fifty yuan is actually not less than the previous earnings! And we have lowered the price of salt, and the people of Jiangnan will also remember our good. It can even change our previous bad reputation! Why not do such a multi-pronged thing? ”
