Chapter 52: Selling the dock at a high price
The cabin of this building ship is relatively large, and it does not seem crowded when ten people pour in at once.
The cabins are simply decorated, with little furnishings left to rest except for a large table and a dozen chairs. One large table is large enough to seat ten people. Shi Yufeng's entourage asked the merchants in Gaizhou to sit down and watch the tea one by one.
The merchants looked around as they entered the cabin, curiously surveying the furnishings of the cabin. The cabin was very plainly furnished, which somewhat disappointed them. Seeing this rather atmospheric building ship on the wharf, these businessmen thought that the furnishings inside the building ship must be luxurious and exquisite, but they didn't expect that the interior decoration of the building ship was so simple that it was a little shabby.
"Presumably Boss Wen has already taken you to see the Yun Guam Pier, do you have any interest in the Yun Guam Pier?" He Tengxiao did not beat around the bush and cut straight to the point.
"We, the small businessmen in Gaizhou, are all engaged in small business, and if we can turn goods to the mainland through the Yunguam terminal, it will naturally be more convenient than transshipment goods from Fuzhou and Jinzhou. It's just that I don't know how much the thousand households will offer. ”
He Tengxiao followed the sound and saw that the merchant who spoke was a fat man, with a fat body, a greasy fat pile all over his face, and a pair of small eyes hidden in the middle of the fat meat flashed with a cunning light. The fat man Wen Kelong mentioned to He Tengxiao that this fat man's name is Guo Dingsan, and he is a first-class leather merchant in Gaizhou, and his main business is to buy leather goods in Gaizhou and sell the harvested leather goods to the mainland for profit.
"A total of 100,000 taels, one into 10,000 taels of silver." He Teng happily quoted the price.
"One into ten thousand taels!"
"10,000 taels is a share?!"
"No, that's too expensive."
After He Tengxiao quoted the price, these Gaizhou businessmen suddenly exploded, obviously, they all felt that the price offered by He Tengxiao was too high. These Gaizhou businessmen whispered to each other, frowning and shaking their heads from time to time.
"He Qianhu, the price of one hundred thousand taels is inevitably too high, I have carefully checked the wharf in Yun Guam, and the cost of the wharf is only twenty or thirty thousand taels of silver at most, far less than one hundred thousand taels." Guo Dingsan wiped the greasy sweat on his face with a towel and said with a slight pant.
As soon as Guo Dingsan's words came out, the remaining Gaizhou businessmen echoed Guo Dingsan's words, hoping that He Tengxiao could bring the price down.
"He Qianhu is not considering lowering the price?" Guo Dingsan saw that the businessmen in Gaizhou supported him, stared at He Tengxiao, and spoke with a lot of confidence, "We are all small businessmen who do small business, not as rich businessmen as Shi Gongzi and Boss Wen in Jinling. With such a high price, I am afraid that there is no merchant in Gaizhou City who can buy the Qiyun Guam Wharf, and I am unable to do anything. ”
Guo Dingsan's implication is that the price is so high, there are no other merchants in Gaizhou City who can afford it, and if He Tengxiao does not lower the price, he will leave.
Of course, He Tengxiao would not believe that Guo Dingsan could not afford tens of thousands of taels of silver, Guo Dingsan monopolized the leather trade between Gaizhou City and the mainland, and was the leading leather merchant in Gaizhou City, and there were four leather shops in Gaizhou alone, with at least two or three hundred thousand taels of silver.
Obtaining the highest profit at the lowest price is the essence of a businessman.
In the face of Guo Dingsan's threatening words, He Tengxiao replied unceremoniously: "Yunguam Wharf is the only wharf in Gaizhou City, and its price cannot be measured by the cost of building a wharf. The taxes in Fuzhou and Jinzhou are not low, and the cost that can be saved by direct shipment from the Guam terminal must be better known than me. In addition, the facilities on the dock must have been checked, and the warehouses and warehouses are all available. ”
Saying this, He Tengxiao turned his gaze to the ship outside the cabin, and the flag on the warship was stretched out in the sea breeze, and several unnamed seabirds circled over the warship.
"You are doing business at the docks of Yunguam, and there are these warships to protect your safety, do you have them in Fuzhou and Jinzhou? You can calculate this account clearly, He is a martial artist, he is happy in everything, and he doesn't like to bargain. He Tengxiao was very resolute, it seemed that his decision could not be changed, and there was no room for bargaining.
"That being said, He Qianhu, I, Guo Dingsan, am also a happy person. Is it okay to have a share of 9,000 taels, and I, Guo Dingsan, am willing to pay 9,000 taels to buy a share of 10%. Guo Dingsan was still unwilling to let go and lowered the price by 1,000 taels.
"Evergreen, send off!" He Tengxiao unceremoniously ordered the eviction of passengers, and ordered Changqing to ask Guo Dingsan to disembark.
Chang Qing smiled coldly, walked to Guo Dingsan's side and said to Guo Dingsan in a cold voice: "Boss Guo, please." ”
Guo Dingsan's face was stunned, he didn't expect He Tengxiao to turn his face so quickly, he said that change would change, he had never encountered this situation in the leather business for more than 30 years, and he sat in place in a daze, at a loss.
"Boss Guo, do you want me to carry a sedan chair to send you off the boat?" He Tengxiao's cold gaze shot at Guo Dingsan.
Guo Dingsan wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, struggled to prop up the table, and walked out of the cabin.
After Guo Dingsan left, the remaining seven Gaizhou businessmen in the cabin, you look at me, I look at you, he couldn't make up his mind for a long time, and seemed to be waiting for the next person to come out and bargain with He Tengxiao.
He Tengxiao also has nearly 30 years of life experience in later generations, not the kind of people who don't understand the world, the thoughts of these businessmen He Tengxiao is naturally clear, He Tengxiao said to the remaining businessmen: "If there are any of you who want to bargain with He like Boss Guo, then I'm sorry, He will invite you out like Boss Guo." He is a happy person, and the business opportunities of Yunguam Wharf, you must have a clear account in your heart, so you don't need to say much. ”
He Tengxiao said this, and the seven Gaizhou businessmen in the cabin all dispelled the idea of bargaining with He Tengxiao. But they were still hesitating, 10,000 taels of shares in Yicheng Wharf was also a big expense for them, and they couldn't make up their minds for a while.
"The banknotes have been prepared for you to stop, the contract is in front of you, if you are interested in buying the dock shares, you can first look at the contract, if you have any doubts about the terms and conditions in the contract, immediately put forward, if not, sign it now." He Tengxiao pointed to the pen and paper in front of the Gaizhou businessmen and said.
Gaizhou ginseng merchant Zhou Huanhai looked at He Tengxiao, and then turned his gaze to the contract pressed by the paperweight in front of him, and finally made up his mind to remove the paperweight pressed on the contract, carefully read the terms of the contract, gritted his teeth and dipped the pen in ink to draw at the place of payment: "Gaizhou ginseng merchant Zhou Huanhai, sign a Chengyun Guam wharf shares, counting 10,000 taels of silver." ”
