Chapter 490: Finalizing Cooperation (Part II)
"No problem! Go back and discuss, for the Governor has time to wait!" Liu Fan paused and said, "Good things are not sold, in fact, in addition to you, the Xu family is also very interested in these things, but the governor is worried that they will be distracted by this, so he has been suppressing it, if you don't decide quickly, I'm afraid there will be no chance!" ”
"Uh" Zhao Yan glanced at Liu Fan stunned, and couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, although Liu Fan said it well, but the meaning of the warning was already obvious, but Zhao Yan really didn't look at these "gadgets" very much, thought about it and said directly, "Lord Commander, in fact, compared to these things, we are more interested in the perfume business in your hands, I wonder if you can sell us the secret recipe in it, you can rest assured in terms of price, we will definitely satisfy you!" ”
It's really a long Wangshu, Liu Fan just threw out a bait here, Zhao Yan climbed up the pole and directly asked for the secret recipe of the perfume. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info perfume can be compared to the refined salt business, and the profiteering industry, how can Liu Fan easily hand it over to these "enemies"? So he refused without hesitation: "I'm afraid this won't work!" The perfume business has been handed over to the governor's father-in-law, Mr. Tatsu, and the decision is no longer here. If you're really interested, you can talk to him about it. ”
Consult with Tian Wan? No kidding. The three people here all have some understanding of Tian Wan, and it is absolutely impossible for him to agree to someone sharing his interests just because he can only get in and out of his stingy character. Seeing this, the three of them immediately lost this thought, so they had to smile bitterly and said, "Okay, in that case, let's try to contact Lord Guozhang first!" ”
"Hmm!" Liu Fan held back a smile and nodded, "Actually, my father-in-law is still very talkative, and I believe that if you want you to be sincere enough, he will not refuse at all." This is Tianfu, his old man happens to be fine these days, if you feel that it is difficult to speak, this governor can recommend it on your behalf, how about it? ”
"No more, no more!" Zhao Yan hurriedly shook his head and said, "Let's go back and discuss it first!" If there is a need, we will ask for help like the chief soldier! ”
"Alright then!" Liu Fan pretended to be helpless and nodded, "We have talked a lot today, so let's get here first." In that case, you should go back and think about it first, and you can also discuss the content of our meeting with the rest of the Lianghuai Salt Merchant. If they agree, then our cooperation is a success! ”
"So we'll take our leave!" Seeing this, the three of them also knew that they had no intention of staying, so they took the opportunity to say goodbye. Seeing this, Liu Fan did not stop and let the three of them leave.
After the three of them left, Li Xiaohu, who was standing beside Liu Fan, asked the question that had been held in his heart for a long time: "Overseer, even if we want to make peace with these people, there is no need to sell them all our purification secret recipes!" That's not a good thing! Once they master this secret recipe, doesn't it mean that they also have sea salt that is comparable to our Jiaozhou sea salt? Isn't that tantamount to giving away our lifeline? I don't understand why you're doing this, Overseer! ”
Liu Fan suddenly smiled and said, "You stupid boy, you have been following Lao Tzu for so long, why can't you even understand such a simple question?" Let me ask you, what is the most fundamental reason why our Jiaozhou Haiyan can develop to the present? ”
"Root cause?" Li Xiaohu scratched his head and said in a humble voice: "The main thing is that the overseer, you are strategizing and scheming. In addition, the quality of our Jiaozhou sea salt is second to none! That's why I think you've lost a lot this time! ”
"What bullshit is strategizing!" Liu Fan scolded with a smile: "The reason why our sea salt in Jiaozhou can sell well all over the world is not because of how powerful the governor's commercial methods are, nor is it a secret recipe for purifying refined salt." It is a new and ahead of its time. Since the adoption of this salt drying method, the yield of sea salt in our salt farm has not only increased several times, but the quality of the sea salt produced is also very good. With this huge quantity and extremely high quality, we can beat other salt merchants and make a huge amount of wealth. If it were not, what good would it be if the Doge had the power to reach heaven? Therefore, our Jiaozhou salt farm, the survival is not a purification secret recipe, but a new salt drying method, as long as this is not lost at all, we can overwhelm the other party by relying on the quantity alone! ”
Li Xiaohu is also very clear about the output of the Jiaozhou salt farm, and when he heard Liu Fan's words, Li Xiaohu couldn't help but nod and said: "The overseer is right, the new salt drying method is indeed our foundation." But I always feel that I have lost something. If we give them the purification method, isn't it equivalent to giving them a fortune for nothing? ”
"Actually, we don't lose at all!" Liu Fan patiently explained: "Using a crystallization method that is of no great use to us in exchange for a fortune of 10 million taels is a very lucrative deal in itself. Moreover, even if they get this purification method, it will take time to digest, and we can continue to make a lot of money while taking this opportunity. Moreover, this purification method requires a lot of time and labor, so that their sea salt production will be lower and the cost will be higher. And what about us? The cost of a pound of sea salt is only five yuan, and the cost of transportation is not more than ten yuan, so even if it is only sold for more than 100 yuan, it is a big profit! While we make money, we can also enhance the goodwill of the people in Jiangnan towards us, do you still feel that we are losing money in such a transaction? Xiaohu, I have to say, you are more greedy than me! ”
"Uh" Li Xiaohu smiled a little embarrassedly when he heard this, and defended, "Overseer, you have wronged me. I'm also worried about you, aren't I? ”
"Haha!" Liu Fan laughed twice, and said conceitedly, "Xiaohu, you have been with me for so long, when have you ever seen this governor make a loss-making transaction?" ”
Li Xiaohu scratched his head, thought about it carefully, and then suddenly said, "Yes, I haven't seen the Overseers do a loss-making deal so far." You have always cheated people, how can anyone pit you when you are old! It seems that the worry of being humble is indeed a bit redundant! ”
"What a!" Liu Fan scolded angrily, "Lao Tzu has always been rich and everyone earns it together, you and I are willing to do this kind of thing, we didn't force them to buy it, they are willing to pay for it, what are I doing?" ”
"Poof!" Haven't you forced people to buy it yet, you almost beat them to death, okay? Li Xiaohu secretly rolled his eyes, despised his boss's "brazenness" very much. It's so shameless, there is wood!?
