Chapter 199: Remedy
In a conversation with Suleiman, Li Chen wanted to spray people a little. But he didn't squirt. Suleiman had approached other merchants, and he had some spice ingredients on his hands. He wanted to give the spices to other merchants and ask them to help prepare them.
This idea made Li Chen appreciate it very much. Isn't this OEM? Or OEM. In modern terms, it is very common. It's just that now it's the Tang Dynasty, and it's still popular before and after the shop, self-produced and sold, otherwise it is produced and shipped to other places for sale, and the concept of OEM is very advanced.
Not to mention the Tang Dynasty, even in the 20th century, this idea was not popular. Li Chen is not a student of economics, he doesn't know when this kind of behavior began, but he knows that this kind of behavior has been in the middle of the 20th century, and it is quite rare.
Many merchants who sell goods still produce and sell their own goods, and there is a special factory that is more advanced than the Tang Dynasty. Later, due to the rise of environmental awareness and the increase in the cost of workers, many businesses moved their factories abroad, which gradually made OEM popular.
The reason why it didn't work out was mainly because other merchants watched from the wall. Outsiders always say that Hu people are united, and insiders will tell you, which is strange. The icing on the cake is that there are people who really send less charcoal in the snow, and even more in the well, which is the case with human nature.
It is not as if a certain Yang wrote, ugly as Chinese, as if the whole world is Chinese, human nature is the ugliest, and foreigners are all great. Even a fart, foreigners put it is fragrant.
Second, they also have their own customers to supply. Suleiman got right, pre-grinding and hard bubbles, and took away a lot of finished products, and other merchants did not want to have sufficient supplies in the short term.
Alas, Abdullah, we were friends when we were young. Suleiman suddenly felt a little sad.
Su Laiman got the right match, it was one of his hair young, the two went to Tang Tu to do business together when they were young, but they resented because of love, they were like the plot of a bloody drama, they both fell in love with the same woman, and finally fell into the Su family and became his wife, Su Xiaoxiao's mother.
He always thought that I had used despicable means to marry my little mother. Since then, the two have become enemies of life and death. Finally gave him a chance to make a move.
He pinched the time too accurately, Li Chen doubted that in addition to walking the water, he did it, and even the old perfumer had to die.
He pinched the time and took advantage of the trade season, and if he missed this trade season, Suleiman would have no room to turn over.
If Suleiman loses money to customers, he will lose a lot of money, and he will not be able to prepare his goods for the voyage. If Suleiman insisted on fulfilling the contract, it would be even better, and he would have awarded Suleiman ten times the price, and Suleiman would have been even more miserable.
Actually, it wasn't a problem to get Su's reputation. As I just said, reputation is very important, and if Zao Wou-Ki does not intervene, in fact, many merchants are willing to give him credit. If Suleiman loses money and loses money to customers, although it will make him lose a lot of money, but there is no problem with sailing, many merchants have said that they can let him owe a year on credit, and when Suleiman returns to the ship, he will have income to make up the payment.
However, Zao Wou-Ki intervened. He didn't coerce the merchants, as long as they weren't allowed to give Suleiman credit, the merchants were afraid of trouble. In the face of such a threat, many people have withdrawn, but..., many merchants have given Suleiman a big discount.
In other words, you are not so miserable, as long as you are willing, you can replace the goods with losing money. Won't it be so passive? Li Chen wants to spray this, are you stupid? Losing money is also considered to be the fulfillment of the contract, haven't you seen how many modern rolls of money have been absconded?
is willing to come forward to lose money according to the contract, and he is already a law-abiding businessman in modern times, and his reputation is not flawed. Why are you so brainless? Should it be said that it was the Tang Dynasty, no, or that the moral consciousness of ancient merchants was still relatively high? Pay attention to a promise, even if it is a verbal contract, it must be reached.
'To put it simply, Su Jun has to fulfill the contract? ''The question of credibility is also a matter of principle. Su has to fulfill the contract even if he goes bankrupt. ’
Then Li Chen threw out a plan that was very beneficial to Suleiman, and sold all the spice raw materials to me, and then, after I refined it, I sold it back to you. You said that those spices are enough, and you can save your goodwill in the future, even if it is not enough, you can make up some more when the time comes, and it will be almost enough.
Suleiman thought that it was also a solution. Although I don't believe that Li Chen can refine spices, but in the worst case, Li Chen can't refine them, but the raw materials are sold anyway, and some of the deficit can be replenished.
But what if Li Chen succeeds? Then the problem is really solved, even if the price is a little higher, as long as Suleiman is given a little buffer, he can tide over the difficulties.
But I have one condition. Li Chen smiled, he didn't do good deeds... Well? You said that someone was angry just now, saying that he had to mess up someone's affairs? Who, that guy? How can you be so irrational in business and want to lose money?
Li Jun, please speak. ''Well, before you want to do this, please borrow a sum of money from a certain family, and a certain family is now short of money.'' As soon as Li Chen opened his mouth, he wanted to borrow money, Suleiman almost didn't scold, you don't have money to buy any spices, and now you have to borrow money from me, what is this? Scammers?
'I have collateral. Before Suleiman spoke, Li Chen said, "There is a treasure in a certain family that can be questioned." Use this treasure as payment and collateral. ’
'It's..., the glass cup. Suleiman took the box handed over by Wei Xuan, opened it and took a look,
Recognized the item, 'Well, in terms of quality, pretty good. How much does Li Jun want to borrow? Suleiman calmly put the glass cup back into the box.
Calm, that's right, because there is nothing surprising about Liuli, this thing is very rare, but it is not completely absent.
It is rumored that in ancient China, it was possible to produce its own products as far back as the Warring States period. It's just that because of the war, by the Tang Dynasty, the technique has been lost. The glaze in the Tang Dynasty was introduced by these Hu merchants, and Suleiman also saw it. He had never seen it so thin and so transparent.
If it was in normal times, he would rarely take a look, but now after all, he is still negotiating, showing that he will lose the initiative to negotiate when he encounters a rare situation.
One of them doesn't know what it's worth. If Su Jun has a way, can he sell this thing? Approaching Suleiman, the purpose is to sell this glass for a good price, and the good things must be given to the people of the world, so as not to secretly invest in the pearl. Of course, there are many people in Tang Tu who can afford to buy such treasures, but if they want to contact the richest people in a short period of time and try to sell this thing at a high price, they still have to be Hu Shang.
'For sale. Li Jun is too late. Suleiman said regretfully, "The treasure reading has only been over for a short time." In Suleiman's regretful tone, Li Chen heard a new term, reading treasures? (To be continued.) )
