Chapter 41 Deal
Zhong Yuanwai's work efficiency is still very fast, only two days later, he came to the Yuxu Palace again, and told the seller the time and place to meet here. The time was set on the fifteenth day of the eleventh month of the lunar calendar, and the place was in the mansion of the Qi member in Liangxiang City. After the two sides meet, Qi Yuanwai will lead the people here to inspect various industries, so that they can have an intuitive understanding here. Then, if the other side is satisfied, the two sides will negotiate. Naturally, he had no opinion on this, and readily agreed. At the same time, Wang Kunjun and other committee members and the heads of various functional groups unanimously expressed their gratitude to Zhong Yuanwai, thanking him for his hard work for everyone these days, and said that after the matter is completed, he must have a banquet for the Zhong family in Tianfu Building to express his gratitude. Although Zhong Yuanwai has repeatedly said that this is a gesture, everyone is a good friend, and they will soon become in-laws, so there is no need to talk about these politenesses. But at the insistence of everyone, they finally accepted the invitation.
After Zhong Yuanwai left, the committee held a discussion, and finally selected Zhang Weixin, Zhao Dawei, and Fan Wucheng to form an inspection and negotiation team to participate in the transfer negotiation with Qi Yuanwai. Xu Shao'an, Yang Xin, and Zeng Zhilin are responsible for security, and at the same time carry a radio station to keep in touch with the Yuxu Palace at any time. At the same time, in order to facilitate their actions, it was decided to grant them carte blanche to decide whether or not to conduct a transaction on the spot as long as Zhang, Zhao, and Fan felt that the conditions were suitable, and there was no need for a decision to be made by the committee or the plenary meeting. The reason why they are empowered is to save time, reduce intermediate links, and improve efficiency. Second, they have the most right to speak after on-site inspections, and whether they discuss it through the committee or the plenary meeting, the basis is still the report and judgment of these few people, and the actual result will still be affected by a few of them, so it is better to delegate the decision-making power to them.
Early in the morning of the fifteenth day of the eleventh month of the lunar calendar, Zhong Yuanwai came to the Yuxu Palace. Zhang Weixin and the other six people were also ready, and the two sides immediately set off after a brief greeting, and drove to Liangxiang County in the carriage brought by Zhong Yuanwai.
Everyone hurried all the way, and they had already entered Liangxiang County when they were in the right time. The carriage stopped in front of the Qi Yuanwai Mansion, and there were already servants of the Qi Mansion waiting at the door, leading everyone into the mansion.
This Qi Mansion is indeed as Zhong Yuanwai said, and the area is not small. The courtyard of the three entrances, as well as the east and west courtyards. There are dozens of houses in total, and there is no problem at all for more than 30 people to live in. Even if you add some servants and rings in the future, it will be enough space. Of course, if you want to think about it in the long run, if you want to meet the housing problem after everyone gets married, then I am afraid it will be a little crowded. However, judging from the current trend, it should be unlikely that those who are still singles will get married in a swarm in the short term. When the team develops, they will definitely buy more real estate, and even if those lustful people have three wives and four concubines, they don't have to worry about the house.
Qi Yuanwai stood at the foot of the main hall to greet Zhong Yuanwai and the crossing crowd, and after a greeting, everyone entered the room and sat down. Zhang Weixin raised his eyes and saw that this Qi member was shorter and thinner, and he looked loyal and honest. After some conversation between the two sides, Zhang Weixin found that this Qi Yuanwai was a flexible-minded and quick-witted person, and he was by no means the kind of rich man with little insight in his impression. However, it must be that there is something urgent in this Qi Yuanwai's family, and he is eager to sell the industry here. He didn't say much politeness after taking his seat, but went straight to the point, offering to let his eldest son take the traversal to take a look at his field and property, and then negotiate the price he had quoted. Naturally, the traversing side will not object to this, and Zhao Dawei, Fan Wucheng and others are more willing to see this situation. In the eyes of the two of them, the more eager the seller is, the easier it is to drive down the price by crossing the crowd. So except for Zhong Yuan, who still accompanied the Qi Yuan, everyone else followed the eldest son of Qi Yuan to investigate.
The first place to investigate is naturally this mansion, and the people who passed through the courtyard followed Qi Gongzi through the door, and basically had a comprehensive understanding of this courtyard, which felt good. Zhao Dawei has even begun to think about which house he should choose as his and Zhu Xiaoyuan's love nest. After visiting the mansion, the son of the Qi family then took everyone to see the three shops in the city non-stop. According to the vision of Zhao Dawei and Fan Wucheng, they all believe that the location and pattern of these three shops are quite good, and if they are coupled with a suitable modern business philosophy, the development prospects are quite optimistic. Then the people boarded the car and went out of the city to the land at the foot of Baojin Mountain.
The Qi family's house at the foot of Baojin Mountain was much larger than that in Liangxiang County, and the area was twice that of the house in the city. Scattered around were about twenty much shabby houses, which were supposed to be the homes of other villagers. It is far away from the Qi family's mansion, which is in line with the needs of the traversers.
Everyone got out of the car and entered the Qi house, and a few people who were guarding the house came to lead the way. The group looked at it as they walked, from front to back and back to front, and several people on this side were very satisfied. It's just that Yang Xinyang, who is responsible for recording the layout of the house, is more tired, because there are so many houses, and it is really laborious to write them down.
When I came out of the Qi house, it was almost noon. The eldest prince of the Qi family looked at the sky, bowed his hand to Zhang Weixin, and asked: "Zhang Daochang, seeing that it is almost noon, the distance from here to the land in Fanyang County is not close, should we go back to the county seat first and have lunch before going to see." ”
Zhang Weixin and the others naturally had no opinion on his proposal, and after walking for two or three hours, everyone was a little hungry. Moreover, for the traversal, the land in Fanyang County is not the point. First, it's a little far away from my birthplace, and it's not good to support if something happens. Second, there are no buildings that can be used immediately, except for fields and a few warehouses, and there is nothing to worry about if you don't see it. None of these people who came today were familiar with the quality of the fields, and they saw it in vain. Since Zhong Yuanwai, an expert, said it well, even if he said good things for his friends, it is estimated that there will not be too much difference. If it weren't for the seller's insistence on packaging and selling these properties, they might not have considered buying the land in Fanyang County.
At noon, Zhang Weixin and the others returned to Liangxiang County. However, he did not return to the Qi family, but under the guidance of the eldest son of the Qi family, he came directly to Tianfu Tower. It turned out that Qi Yuan had already booked a private room on the third floor of Tianfu Building, and planned to invite everyone to a light meal. ,
As soon as everyone entered the building, the guys from Tianfu Building greeted them, and at a glance they recognized Zhang Weixin and others as one of the guests who were auctioning on the third floor some time ago.
In the Tianzihao private room on the third floor, Qi Yuanwai and Zhong Yuanwai were already waiting there, and everyone took their seats after meeting and politely saying a few words. Not long after sitting down, before the food was served, Boss Chen of Tianfu Lou came in to greet Zhong Yuanwai, Zhang Weixin and others. Now in the eyes of Boss Chen, Zhang Weixin and others are already close to the status of the God of Wealth. A few days ago, I just lent out the third floor to the other party, and I easily got 3,600 yuan - although I was busy for a lot of days, and the original compartment on the third floor was also temporarily demolished, and it took a lot of time to restore it to its original state, but it was not worth mentioning compared to the income. So when I heard that these old customers were having a banquet with their friends here, they immediately ran upstairs to greet them. After coming out of the private room, he also specially instructed his subordinates to be careful and make sure that the guests are satisfied.
As various dishes came in, Qi Yuanwai began to raise his glass to toast everyone. After a few glasses of wine, the atmosphere gradually became warmer, and everyone slowly got acquainted. Especially when Zhang Weixin said that because the road is a bit far, the land outside Fanyang City will not be seen, and the relevant level will be subject to what Zhong Yuanwai said, and Qi Yuanwai toasts more frequently. Because he knew in his heart that although his land could be regarded as middle and upper-class, there was still a gap between it and the high-grade that Zhong Yuanwai told the buyer. He had also planned that if the buyer was not satisfied after seeing it, he could lower the price a little more so that the deal could be concluded as soon as possible. Now the other party took the initiative not to watch it, and it was better to use Zhong Yuanwai's judgment as the standard. In this way, not only can he earn more, but the most important thing is to save time, which is far more important to him than this small profit. For him, as long as he can complete the transaction here as quickly as possible, then he will go south to Jiangning Mansion one day earlier, and he will be more sure of obtaining that inheritance. Compared to the promising inheritance, the thousands of dollars here are simply not worth mentioning.
With the foundation of a good relationship, the following topic gradually shifts to trading. As Fan Wucheng and others expected, there is no big difference between ancient businessmen and modern businessmen in this regard. For businessmen, many times the meal is not the main thing, the dinner is just to provide a platform for the communication between the two parties, and the negotiation of business is the greatest wish of both parties.
So after three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, the real theme finally began. With the father and son of the Qi family on one side and Zhao and Fan on the other, a great competition of ancient and modern negotiation skills was launched. After some verbal arguments, the Qi family father and son were defeated by the modern negotiation methods of Zhao and Fan, and finally accepted their new offer, and sold the deal at 6,400 guan, a full 600 guan lower than the original offer.
The two sides agreed to pay five hundred taels of gold and one thousand taels of silver for the convenience of carrying. The transaction and related official procedures will be completed within three days, and the Qi family will move out within half a month after the transaction is completed. In addition, the two parties also reached an additional clause, that is, the servants originally employed by the Qi family, the maids, the low-level stewards, the shopkeepers, the men, etc., if they are not willing to leave with the Qi family, the Qi family should try to persuade them not to quit their jobs, and the cross-border side will continue to be employed in the original position. Qi Yuanwai naturally has no opinion on this, so he will save a lot of severance pay. On the other hand, it saves the trouble of re-recruiting workers and increases safety. After all, these workers are all familiar with the family, and they basically know the roots, and they are much more relieved than the newly recruited workers.
After the transaction was completed, the mood of both parties was naturally more comfortable, and the cup was more enthusiastic, and the meal was eaten until the end of the hour. At the checkout, Boss Chen also gave a 10% discount and sent everyone out of the store in person.
The group returned to Qi Yuanwaifu and drank tea for a while, and seeing that it was not early, they got up and said goodbye when they crossed the crowd. Before leaving, Zhang Weixin said that if there is no accident, the transaction money will be sent tomorrow morning.
Out of the city gate of Liangxiang County, Zhong Yuanwai also said goodbye to the traverser. Now that the deal has been negotiated, he doesn't need to be involved in the rest. However, in order to facilitate the transportation of silver money the next day, Zhong Yuanwai said that he would let several of his carriages come to Yuxu Palace early in the morning. The traversers naturally thanked each other again and again, and the two sides chatted a few more words and went on their own roads.
After returning to Yuxu Palace, Zhang Weixin and others informed the two members of the committee who stayed behind about the business negotiations, and everyone was very satisfied with the results of the negotiations. Subsequently, Yang Xin, who went with him, took out the layout map of the Qi family's properties he drew and handed it over to the committee and the security team for joint reference, so as to formulate relevant security jihua. Of course, as the counterpart functional department, the security jihua is still formulated by the security team, and the committee only plays a review role. Because it was agreed with the Qi family to move out within half a month, the time left for the security team was quite sufficient.
Next, Fan Wucheng and Zhao Dawei talked about their views on the three shops of the Qi family, and both of them said that at least on the surface, the two shops in business are quite well-managed, and the customer flow is relatively large, and it should be easier to maintain after taking over. The location of the idle shop is also not bad, according to Qi Yuanwai, it was put down not long ago. The original owner was dealing in jade, but because of Fang Ji's competition, coupled with the fact that he was deceived by someone who was pretending to be a real person, he couldn't continue to operate, so he sold it. Qi Yuanwai originally wanted to use this place to deal in furs, but he couldn't implement it because of recent family incidents.
"Then what kind of business do you think is appropriate for the shop here, and you can't just do the fur business according to the plan of this Qi member, right? We don't know how to do it, so presumably that Qi Yuan Wai shouldn't have started hiring relevant personnel yet, right? Wang Kunjun asked after listening to the introduction of the two.
"That Qi Yuanwai has been busy with family affairs recently, how can he bother to run a new business, he is a professional, and he hasn't even hired a miscellaneous man. We don't know anything about fur, so we can't do that. Fan Wucheng replied, "I have discussed with Dawei, and in terms of the location and area of that shop, we think it is better to use it for some high-end daily necessities." However, we suggest that we do not rush to determine the category at the moment, but wait until we have our own special products before choosing the appropriate category. ”
There is no objection to Fan's and Zhao's proposals, anyway, there is no shortage of money to spend, rather than doing some business that others are doing, it is better to put it there temporarily, wait for the progress of the relevant research and development work on their side, come up with special products, and then use this shop to specialize, so that the effect will be greater.
Early the next morning, the Zhong family's carriage arrived at the gate and waited. The traversers also took action and began to prepare to carry gold and silver. Because it was to transport silver money into the city, according to the suggestion of the security team, the committee decided to double the security liliang today, and Tang Chao, Wang Feng and Wu Peng should also accompany them. In addition, Qingchen was sent by Yuxuzi to a blacksmith shop in Liangxiang County to pick up a few weapons for beating haode, and happened to hitchhike together. There is a strong martial arts Qingchen beside him, and it is naturally more reassuring to pass through the crowd. Although modern weapons are powerful, firstly, ammunition is limited, and secondly, it is easy to attract attention if they are used too frequently, so it is better not to use them as much as possible. After everything was ready, the team set off under Zhang Weixin's shout.
