Section 95 Bargaining Asking for what you need
Shen Mu said: "The grass people heard that the frosty agate was the most precious, so they asked someone to buy this pair of unicorns, but I didn't know if it was true or not. Now that I hear what adults say, I feel at ease!"
Yu Yonghe said: "Look at this ruddy streamer, transparent and smooth, it is indeed produced by the Flowing Frost Miluo Mine, and this carving is exquisite, and the texture is clear." It should be from the master......" He took a sip of tea and couldn't help but look at the pair of unicorns twice, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it, and the more he liked it, the more he couldn't help but look at it twice. Thinking about this pair of things in my heart, there is no one with a thousand children and eight hundred taels of silver, which cannot be obtained by designation.
Shen Mu observed the words and looks, and looked at them one by one. It seems that the shopkeeper who is "full of stone and jade" has given a lot of gifts, otherwise how could he hit Yu Yonghe's heart with one blow!
Shen Mu said: "The adults know the source of this unicorn at a glance, and the grass people really admire it! As the so-called sword matches the hero, this treasure naturally needs to be owned by a big man like an adult. ”
Yu Yonghe said: "No merit, you ask to see today, it's not just as simple as letting the official take a look at this agate!"
Shen Mu said respectfully: "My lord's words are serious. The grass people do have something to ask for, but they know that no matter what the grass people say today, the adults will not answer!"
Shen Mu's usual tricks are the "magic weapon" that has been tried and tested.
Yu Yonghe really dared to be interested in Shen Mu's words, and said: "You haven't said it yet, how do you know that this official will not allow it? As a parent official, how can the people ignore it if they have something to ask for?"
Shen Mu looked embarrassed and said: "This is a good day, don't mention it, when spring begins, it's not too late for the grass people to come and discuss with adults how to make a living!"
Yu Yonghe said: "What do you mean, do you want to talk about business with this official? This official has heard some rumors from the people who know the tea bureau, and you, Shen Mu Shen, the boss of Shen, have saved 50,000 taels of silver in the tea bureau......
The officials in the world have one heart, and they can't escape this reason anywhere. This Zhicha Bureau is also a big mouth, and this kind of news is still revealed, and he is not afraid of smashing his tongue and losing his head.
Shen Mu said: "It turns out that adults also know about this. Hey, I'm looking at the thriving white tea business in Dingzhou, and I'm thinking of taking over a job to make a living. The 50,000 taels of silver are just a deposit, and the business of the Tea Bureau is promising, but it is more than 50,000 taels......"
Yu Yonghe listened to the silver, and he had already forgotten all about his original guilt. Fifty thousand taels of silver, if Shen Mu can send fifty thousand taels of silver to his mansion, it means that it is possible for him to become brothers, and who will have trouble with silver. Everyone else said that "three years of Qing Governor's Mansion, 100,000 snowflakes of silver", but they don't know that after three years of term, although the income of all bad rules should be large, this expense is also huge.
Regardless of the fact that nearly a hundred maids, subordinates and men in the inner house want to eat. is that the three aunts and wives have to reward hundreds of taels of silver every month, and when they meet a New Year's holiday, they have to give a reward and add clothes. Coupled with the social activities on weekdays, the movement between the state capitals, the silver is spent more like flowing water. If you add the amount of filial piety to the court every year, you don't dare to think about it, you don't dare to count!
50,000 taels of silver...... Peeling off a layer of skin, there are also five thousand taels of gold, how could Yu Yonghe not be tempted by the silver in the tea bureau. However, it was the money of the Cabinet and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and I only knew it!
Thinking of this, Yu Yonghe couldn't help but say, "Fifty thousand taels of silver...... Enough!"
Shen Mu smiled slightly, he understood what he said. Shen Mu had already calculated, firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, the most precious of them is salt, and the most profitable is also salt.
Tea is just the taste of rich people, and salt is a necessary daily product for every family. Although salt is cheap, it can't withstand its huge base!
Gao Jintao said: The sea salt in Dingzhou accounts for a quarter of the salt production of Yunzhao country.
If he can fully take over the salt mine business in Dingzhou Mansion, 50,000 taels of silver, he will start with Shen Mu!
Shen Mu pretended to be and said, "My lord...... What are you talking about?"
Yu Yonghe came back to his senses and said busily: "It's nothing...... The official is thinking about things!"
Yu Yonghe thought of the silver, and remembered that his ATM was destroyed by the person in front of him, and when he got angry, he gritted his hateful teeth.
Shen Mu took a sip of tea and said indifferently: "Lord Yu is not thinking that the battle between Shen Mu and the Seven Star Chamber of Commerce has caused adults to suffer heavy losses. Now that the dust has settled, I, Shen Mu, actually sent it to the door in person, and I dare to make fun of the wind and the moon with adults?"
Yu Yonghe unexpectedly turned the topic to the powder keg himself, was slightly stunned, and secretly said in his heart: This young post-nator is really good, and he takes the lead everywhere, no wonder Qixingzhai will be defeated at the hands of this person. If this person enters the officialdom, he is afraid that he will have another competitor.
Yu Yonghe said: "The dispute between your businessmen and Jia was originally not under the jurisdiction of the government, how could Boss Shen say that he would personally send it to the door!"
Shen Mu said: "As soon as the adults said this, the grass people didn't know how to take it. ”
Yu Yonghe said: "What do you mean, do you still hope that this official will be difficult?" Speaking of this, Yu Yonghe "snapped" and slapped the table, his face was quite angry!
Shen Mu said: "Don't worry, my lord, Shen Mu just has something to say, and his temperament is more straightforward." The grass people have already said that this is an adult talking about business. Since we talk about business, both parties must tacitly understand it. Otherwise, don't say 50,000 taels, it is a transaction that even five taels of silver cannot be pleasantly traded. ”
Yu Yonghe said: "What do you want to talk about?"
Shen Mu said: "The grass people want to take over all the salt mine business in Qixingzhai, including the teahouses, wine shops and inns in Xingang Town!"
Yu Yonghe laughed and said, "Boss Shen, you have a lot of appetite!"
Shen Mu said: "As long as you are bold enough, your appetite will naturally not be small." What's more, in the entire Dingzhou Mansion at the moment, only I, Fuchao Yinzhuang, can eat this business. My lord, Shen Mu just said it directly. As long as the adults nod and agree, how was the Seven Star Village before, what happened to us, and on this basis, we will increase by one percent. ”
Yu Yonghe secretly calculated that Qixingzhai would have at least 3,000 taels of silver sealed on the counter every year for his own expenses. If you add one percent, it will be three thousand three hundred taels! It doesn't seem to have increased much!
Shen Mu saw that he was hesitant, and he was also secretly calculating. He didn't know how much silver Qixingzhai would give Yu Yonghe, but according to the price of salt, labor costs, etc., he could roughly calculate how much profit there was. What's more, Shen Mu still has a modern business philosophy, as long as he operates properly, he can give at least 10,000 taels of silver to Yu Yonghe every year.
Shen Mu will not reveal his hole cards. In the white tea business, only the Tea Bureau has a mouth waiting to be fed. Salt is different, whether it is production, transportation, or sales in various places, you need to be careful, one way down, no less than dozens of yamen, large and small. If you only feed one, you may poke a big hole one day.
At this time, it depends on who speaks first. If you can't help it, there will be no room for negotiation.
Shen Mu was not in a hurry, because he knew that Yu Yonghe was reluctant to give up a few thousand taels of silver every year. Without this silver, Yu Yonghe would not die, but would only be more uncomfortable than death......
Seeing the white silver slipping away on their own ledgers, who will feel at ease?
Yu Yonghe really couldn't hold his breath first, Shen Mu was right, at present, only Shen Mu and them could swallow this big plate in Dingzhou Mansion, and others were far away from it in terms of financial resources or manpower. What's more, the four words of the cabinet's receipt are like thunder, and Yu Yonghe doesn't know what this Shen Mu's cabinet has to do with it. But as long as there is the slightest relationship between them, they can't afford to offend.
Don't look at yourself as a second-class master, but in the capital, you can't even compare to the rights of a household servant.
Yu Yonghe stretched out five fingers and said, "This number, I don't know what Boss Shen thinks?"
Shen Mu shook his head, stretched out four fingers, and said, "It can only be so much!"
Yu Yonghe said: "This is too little, I don't want to add one percent!"
Shen Mu deliberately pretended to be embarrassed and thought for a while. Cai said leisurely: "Since the adult is so quick to talk, Shen is not too verbose, so he will do what the adult says." ”
Yu Yonghe was overjoyed and said: "Okay! Boss Shen is really bold! Come, this official replaces wine with tea, and wishes Boss Shen a prosperous business!"
The two talked about some side matters again, and when they saw that the meal was up, Yu Yonghe called the family to prepare a banquet.
Shen Mu thought that there were other things to arrange, and when he came in, he saw many officials listening to the hall again, if this was a banquet, it was not dark to drink, so he found a reason to say goodbye to Yu Yonghe.
Yu Yonghe thought that he would have more than 1,000 taels of silver in the coming year, and he was also very polite to Shen Mu, so he sent him outside the mansion before returning to the theater compound.
As soon as Shen Mu was about to leave, he saw a carriage stop. He crossed the road and waited aside.
The carriage stopped, and a somewhat familiar noise was heard
"Miss, you're home! Hey, why are you again...... Can't you see the steps? What a blind man......"
Shen Mu didn't have to think much about it to know who this woman's voice was. Isn't it the swearing-mouthed "shrew" I met at noon!
Shen Muden lost his face and said, "I have given way, but you said that I blocked the steps." I'm talking about you, crazy...... It's unreasonable!"
When the woman heard this, she was furious, rolled up her sleeves, crossed her waist and scolded: "Hey, you dog slave, I really don't know who gave you the guts, and you actually went to the inner city to make trouble! Do you know what kind ......of place this is? I'm afraid you don't know how powerful the old lady is...... Today, I'll let you know what rules are!"
As he spoke, he picked up the horsewhip and was about to whip it at Shen Mu.
Shen Mu sneered, and saw the angle at which the horsewhip was raised, and when she pulled the horsewhip off, she was about to reach out and pull it, and then pull it hard, and the woman would definitely fall down.
But I heard a person in the carriage call softly: "Mother Wu, don't be rude!"
That Mother Wu listened to the call and responded continuously. said: "Miss, this person doesn't understand the rules. Blocking the road twice in a row, in my opinion, is intentional. If you don't teach him a lesson, maybe you'll do it again next time......"
The carriage curtain was lifted, and a girl jumped out of the carriage gently, and Shen Mu knew that it was the woman who embroidered a handkerchief to cover her face at noon.
