Chapter 219 Trademarks and Buyers
The temperature in the blacksmith is always scorching.
Niu Er's face was burned red, standing outside the door, looking at the long street outside, the master was called out of the city by the adult, and he has not come back yet.
Niu Er was originally from Xishan Township, he used to be a hunter, he was very strong, and he would be very productive if he was a hunter, but unfortunately Niu Er liked to strike iron, which may be related to the fact that his house was separated by a wall from the blacksmith shop.
Follow the dragon god to Wanghai City, the hunter can't do it, Niu Er's father thinks that the baby must have a craft to be based in the world, Niu Er said that he wants to be a blacksmith, Niu Er's father thought about letting Niu Er recognize an iron master, just right, some time ago the blacksmith in the city was too busy, Niu Er's father begged someone, and finally stuffed Niu Er into the blacksmith shop of the blind man Li, this blind master Li is not an ordinary blacksmith, he has built armor for the Dragon God, and he is very valued by the Dragon God, fortunately Niu Er has a good body, Otherwise, the blind Li Ding would not recognize this apprentice.
On this day, Niu Er was also as usual, got up very early, and then lit a fire, waiting for the master to strike iron, just threw the iron into the furnace, a sergeant came, saying that the dragon god was invited, and the blind Li Zi did not dare to delay, so he went away.
Niu Er has been waiting for a long time, the molten iron has melted, but the master has not returned, seeing the molten iron smoking, Niu Er gritted his teeth and took the molten iron off the stove.
Thinking of the master's actions, Niu Er separated the molten iron, and finally poured it into the pig iron again, and saw that the charcoal fire was a little small, so Niu Er found the charcoal fire again. Add some to it, and the fire suddenly rages.
Niu Er was caught off guard. His eyes were burned by the burning charcoals, and his hands shook. A few pieces of charcoal rolled into the molten iron.
"Oh no," Niu Er was shocked.
The blind man Li once solemnly instructed him that some charcoal can be added to the pig iron, but not in the wrought iron, so as not to mix with impurities, and now the charcoal rolls in, and the molten iron will be wasted, Niu Er was so anxious that his tears were about to come down, and he looked outside the door, Niu Er gritted his teeth. I stirred the molten iron with an iron drill a few times, and saw that the charcoal seeped into the molten iron.
"Lord Ryujin, don't be discovered by the master" Niu Er prayed in his heart.
The blind man Li finally came back, these days he has been studying the method of filling steel, thinking that the other eye is almost blind, but the effect is not great, and he did not notice the abnormality of his apprentice, and ordered Niu Er to throw the condensed iron into the furnace again, and the blind Li is ready to try a few more times.
"Okay. Master. Niu Wei trembled and threw the iron into the fire, and secretly glanced at the face of the blind man Li, the master was absent-minded, and he should be able to get through
"Your Excellency. Do you want to sell this bike for 100,000 gold? Zhen Ping asked, his face a little strange.
Bian Ji's heart tightened, isn't it worth the price? The 50,000 gold is also acceptable.
Lin Bei saw that Zhen Ping's face didn't seem to be an expression that he didn't think was worthless. So he said bluntly: "What's wrong? ”
Zhen Ping's face changed, and he was struggling. Is it to be a real businessman or to go against the principles of a businessman, finally. Thinking about this dragon god adult's ruthless heart, thirty or forty thousand barbarians said that they would kill them, and now they can speak again, and Wanghai City has also made a good reputation, Zhen Ping felt that he still couldn't offend this adult because of short-term interests, so he said: "My lord, although the villain is very distressed to say this, but from the villain's point of view, this bicycle is indeed a bit cheap to sell for only 100,000 gold." ”
After saying this, Zhen Ping's heart was dripping blood, but then he calmed down, and if he could make friends with this adult, the reward might be higher in the future.
Lin Bei and Bian Ji are both the same, businessmen have always bought at a low price and sold at a high price, and there are also those who increase their own prices to buy each other's goods? This is a miracle.
"And how much do you say it's worth?" Lin Bei asked.
"The villain doesn't know the exact number, but if the people of the Han Dynasty can only buy this thing, the bicycle will not be less than a million gold."
Lin Bei and Bian Ji swallowed their saliva together, millions of gold, how much is this? Anyway, Lin Bei and Bian Ji haven't seen each other, they only know a lot.
After Lin Bei swallowed his saliva, he asked curiously, "Then what do you mean?" ”
"Although the villain is a businessman, he also knows the truth that money is taken in the right way, and Zhen Ping can't take out a million gold, so how about a bicycle priced at 300,000 gold? This is already the maximum amount that the villain can decide. ”
One million gold is false, and 300,000 gold is real, Bian Ji swallowed his saliva again, looking at Zhen Ping's eyes is different, this person is too real, they sell 100,000 gold, but people suddenly raise it to 300,000 gold, doing business with this kind of person, it's too refreshing.
Lin Bei was also a little embarrassed, and said that this Zhen Ping was really generous, he could buy it with 100,000 gold, even if Lin Bei knew that bicycle sales were hot in the future, Lin Bei would never pursue the Zhen family's reason, Zhen Ping's approach added to Lin Bei's countless favorites, because this kind of businessman is indeed too rare.
At the same time, Lin Bei was also shocked by Zhen's huge family assets, the person in charge of a commercial bank can mobilize 300,000 gold of money, Zhen's business bank is nearly 100, so calculated, Zhen's family must have at least more than 30 million gold of family assets, which is still the least, worthy of being the world's first grain merchant, it turns out that in history, the Zhen family can supply Yuan Shao's huge army, it is indeed not a fluke, rich is capricious, but unfortunately Yuan Shao is not angry.
After a deep groan, Lin Beiyan said: "The shopkeeper Zhen can tell the truth, and this adult is grateful, so let's not have 300,000 gold, just take a median value, make a price of 200,000 gold, and the bicycle will belong to your Zhen family." ”
After a pause, Lin Bei said again: "And you don't have to give me this gold, you can take back the 200,000 gold and the money from selling salt later, as long as you do two things." ”
After changing others, I heard that I didn't have to pay, and it was hundreds of thousands of money, I was afraid that I would be so happy that I couldn't find the north, Zhen Ping was obviously not this kind of person, but was very calm, and said a little solemnly: "My lord, what do you need my Zhen family to do?" ”
"First, the name of this bicycle is Shenlong Bicycle, the name cannot be changed, and in addition, you need to engrave a dragon god mark in a conspicuous place. The mark is carved in my likeness. ”
Zhen Ping thought about it and nodded.
"Second. Today, yellow turbans are raging in the Central Plains, and many people are displaced. Lord Ben can't bear it, do you Zhen have a way to bring these people to my Wanghai City? ”
Zhen Ping's eyes were strange: "Do adults want people?" ”
"Yes."
Zhen Ping's heart fluctuated, what this Lord Dragon God said was unbearable in his heart was definitely not the truth, so what did this Lord want someone to do? Zhen Ping can think of some answers, and each answer makes Zhen Ping feel that this adult has a big plan and a long-term vision, and then thinks of the identity of Lin Bei Longshen, Zhen Ping can already determine that this adult has an idea about that position.
It's good to have an idea. Zhen Ping and the Zhen family are happy to see this kind of thing, the key is that this adult can stand out from the crowd? Zhen Ping is measuring.
After weighing it again and again, Zhen Ping had to admit that he seemed to have been convinced, because this Dragon God Lord really has that potential at present, although it is located in the extreme south and the Central Plains is inconvenient, but now the Central Plains is too chaotic, so it is the best policy to divide the development forces quietly. When the sergeants are million, waving the Central Plains, and the Central Plains are consuming each other, who else can stop them?
Shenlong bicycles will naturally not be buried in Zhen's hands. Zhen Ping will definitely build it and sell it to the Central Plains Heroes when he buys it back, and when the name of the dragon bicycle spreads throughout the Han Dynasty, the name of the dragon god can also take this opportunity to resound through the Han Dynasty. Once the Central Plains is swept away, it will be easier for the common people to accept it.
"This Ryujin-sama is thinking too far." The more Zhen Ping thought about it, the more frightened he felt. It is said that a wise man can see ten steps in one step, and this adult seems to be able to see a hundred steps away. Zhi is almost a demon, but thinking about Lin Bei's identity as a dragon god, it's not a monster.
In fact, Lin Bei really didn't think about it so much, this is just his subconscious idea, just like publicity, Shenlong brand bicycles are just the first step, he will definitely have other things to sell to the Central Plains in the future, so there must be a trademark, with a trademark is easy to be remembered, in order to have more repeat customers, this is also like writing a novel, a pen name is a trademark, how can you write a book and change a pen name? You won't be able to become a god like this.
These two things are not a big deal for Zhen's at all, Zhen has a unique mark, but the trademark has not yet been formed, as for getting people to Wanghai City, Zhen doesn't think it's a big deal, these years of war, in order to live, it is too common for ordinary people to sell themselves into slavery, and the ruthless Haoqiang doesn't need to pay money at all, and no one will dare to take some exiles at will, of course, the number must not be too much, with Zhen's ability, thousands of people are easy.
With Zhen Ping's decision, he immediately agreed, but Lin Bei said: "These people are not casually wanted, you have to help me find some specific people." ”
"Who is it?"
"It's some craftsmen with skills, among them, the four craftsmen of ship, iron, wood and stone are the most important, and the rest are casual, if it's a family, then you can bring them all."
Zhen Pingxin said Sure enough, this adult really thinks far.
Wood and stone two kinds of craftsmen are good to say, generally speaking, most of the craftsmen in the village have both of these two, even if they are not both, they must dabble in one or two, and the two craftsmen of ship and iron are not the same, in the Central Plains, according to the law, each of the blacksmith profession needs to be recorded in the official book, and even the apprentice needs to find out the details before entering the blacksmith shop, now the imperial court has been chaotic, this aspect is not too strict, although the shipwright is not as strict as the blacksmith, but only a few specific states are rich in boatmen, and there are some places near the sea on the border of Jizhou, Qingzhou Xuzhou and Yangzhou also have some, the number is very small, but this adult wants to catch it all, in order to look at the geographical advantage of the sea, the role of the shipwright here is greater than that of other craftsmen, after a few years, to look at the topography of the sea city, even if there are millions of troops to attack, the city of Wanghai can also be as stable as Mount Tai, and only the people are stable, in order to develop better.
"With the wisdom of this adult, if the Central Plains does not have the world's heroes to compete with, the Central Plains will definitely be in charge of him in the future." Zhen Ping had such a thought in his heart, and then nodded: "My lord, Zhen Ping already knows that the Zhen family will definitely find these people for the adults, and the time is scheduled for after March?" ”
"Great goodness." Lin Beida is overjoyed.
Now it's useless to ask for money in Wanghai City, so Lin Bei wants to let Zhen find him some people, and only a big family like Zhen who does business can do it, if he changes Sima or what Xun family, although he also has the ability, but this kind of family prides itself on being famous, and it will not and cannot do human traffic, Zhen is Lin Bei's best choice, fortunately Zhen Ping agreed, and Lin Bei didn't have to worry too much about Zhen's not keeping his promise.
There is a word in this era, called Wu Jian Bu Shang, it is a tip, not a traitor, Wu Jian Wu Shang is talking about rice merchants, this kind of businessmen often add a small pinch to the bucket or liter of rice after selling rice, and pile up a spire, so there is a saying that there is no sharp business, which symbolizes the integrity of rice merchants, and Lin Bei is suspicious of Wu Jian Bu Shang, but Zhen Ping took the initiative to raise 100,000 gold to 300,000 gold, so that Lin Bei feels that Zhen can still believe it, even if he is fooled by Zhen this time, it will not lose much to Lin Bei, It's just a bike and some salt, it doesn't matter.
But Lin Bei didn't know that Zhen Ping was not because of any integrity, integrity was the same as discipline, it was all used to throw away, if Lin Bei was a commoner, it would be strange for Zhen Ping to do these things, to put it bluntly, it was because Lin Bei's current power and Zhen Ping were optimistic about Lin Bei's prospects, which was the reason why Zhen Ping was willing to deal with Lin Bei.
