Chapter 89: Negotiation Skills (Part II)
"Isn't the test market at this price, and we don't lose money, I think it's good. Now everyone in the capital is waiting, everyone can afford to use this price, why do you want to re-customize? Every time Lanling talks about business, he looks absent-minded, "Your price is set high, and many poor people can't afford to use it." β
"Yes!" If it weren't for the fact that she was a princess, I would have wanted to go up and smoke her, and I would have been angry when I heard her say this. The investment is so big, the stalls are spreading, and now the hall is improving! "Big sister! Is it okay to use some brains? A little economically conscious, isn't it? The table is a bit long, and it is difficult to speak, and the fire is on the head, "The poor man cares about me?" The court can't control it, so why should I take care of it? Do you think they will be able to make money if the price of paper is pushed to the bottom? β
"Zihao is angry, hehe." Lan Ling tried to move the soft chair to my side, pulled it a few times, gave up, Yingying walked over and sat on the arm of my chair, "Just to talk about this, I specially got two iron chairs, as for it?" β
"Wood, who said iron?" Seeing her coming, it was not easy to drive away, "Don't blame me for being angry, what you did was really inconsiderate, when you set this price, did you think about it carefully?" β
"What else is there to think about? It's already two percent higher than the price of bamboo paper, and then according to your idea, how many people can't afford it? Lan Ling said and poked my fingers, "Your Wang family is not short of money now, and I don't want to do this, what does it matter if you make less money?" Why is it that every time it comes to money, the good person changes to a different person? There must be a lower number for the greed for money. β
"Okay, let's put aside greed or not greed for money, let's talk about the price first." I opened the materials I had prepared in front of me and suppressed the anger in my heart. After all, Lan Ling is also kind, but she doesn't have a systematic concept in her mind, "Have you counted the demand for paper on Guanzhong Road now?" That is, the amount of paper consumed by the people every day. β
Lan Ling put his arm on my shoulder and shook his head, "I'm afraid it's hard to say, you know?" β
"I've got a statistic here, and it's not too accurate, but it's about that. Look. I handed her the papers. As a habit in the 21st century, before the construction of the paper workshop, I had already made a cumulative survey of the annual sales of various paper shops in Chang'an, and a total of seven stores monopolized almost all the paper sales in Guanzhong Road, and it was not troublesome to count.
"Yes, I've seen it." Lan Ling smiled and put the information on the table, stretched out his hand to my neck, and said with a smile: "You really put a lot of thought into it, you are usually lazy, and you are quite diligent in making money!" What's the use of letting me see this? β
"Sit down," I pushed her away, "just finish it." The above about the annual sales of paper and the annual production limit of our workshop, you see, even if our workshop works hard, it can only meet the needs of two to twenty into five, and there is still a big gap from the distance from monopolizing the paper market. The quality of our new paper is not comparable to bamboo paper, and once it is listed at a low price, it will definitely not be able to meet the demand, forming a situation where supply exceeds demand. β
"Yes," Lan Ling clapped his hands and said happily: "That's good, the paper has been sold, and the fame has been played, so it's a big deal that I will invest some money to build another workshop." According to you, you are not afraid of losing money. β
"Yes!" I can't stand this kind of business blindness, I raise my hand and want to hit someone, suppress, suppress. "Speak with your brain! Have you counted how many workshops can monopolize the market in Guanzhong? Take a step back, you have money, you are not afraid of starting a workshop and monopolizing the market in Guanzhong. How big is the territory of Datang, do you know in your heart? How many workshops will it take to monopolize the whole country? β
Lanling was overjoyed by my unbearable appearance, "Lang Jun is really greedy, the whole country is monopolized, how much money should you make is the head?" β
"Have you thought about it? Even if it is a monopoly in Guanzhong, how many people in Guanzhong can use our paper? "Lanling is usually a shrewd and clever person, why is he confused when he comes to this. Even I misunderstood.
"What's the point?"
"Businessmen are profitable, they won't share the same idea with you. Do you think that if the price from the workshop is low, the people will be able to buy it home at a low price? Merchants will adjust their prices according to the supply and demand in the market, and even if you sell cheaply, they will still sell at a high price. You monopolize Guanzhong, they won't transport it to Jiannan, to Jiangnan, or even to sell it abroad? As long as there is a profit, they can go anywhere! β
"Well, I understand that." Lan Ling nodded seriously, "The concubine really didn't think of these doorways, if it weren't for Lang Jun, you would have really made them take advantage of the loopholes." Why don't we open a few stores and sell them ourselves? β
"I really hit you! You are not allowed to fight back. My whole body was filled with a sense of powerlessness, and I slowly took a sip of the tea bowl, "You treat everyone as melon seeds, you open a few stores, and people will come to buy your goods!" According to your practice, Chang'an, perhaps the country's papermaking workshops have been offended, and you still want to continue to offend people who sell paper? Beware of being scolded! Don't look at us only accounting for more than 20% of the output, once you go out at the price you set, how many workshops near Chang'an will stop production? How can craftsmen live without craftsmanship? Do you all go to the mountains to be bandits? He slapped her buttocks hatefully, and said affectionately: "Shouting over and over again is called a good thing, even a good thing has to be done slowly." Let you stir up, the profits will be swallowed by the merchants, the craftsmen of the workshop will be forced to go to the Qinling Mountains, the good order will be disrupted, how many people will sell their sons and daughters, and how many good girls will be secretly ruined by sanctimonious pedants, can you bear it! As he spoke, he dipped his saliva on his eyes, and his tears were hot, and he got up early to eat garlic sprouts.
"Why don't you say that you have been ruined, what you said is evil!" Although Lan Ling's mouth is still hard, his expression is also outnumbered, and he has no confidence in his words, "But the price you set is too high, come down a little more." β
"It's not high at all, I refer to the market price, according to the quality and output of the products in our workshop, you don't understand this." Rubbing his red eyes, he rubbed Lanling's group swing a few times, "Everything has to have a time process, we will sell it at this price first, gradually expand the output with the increase of profits, and with the expansion of production, we will slowly lower the price, give the peers a transition time, and also give the market a process of adaptation." Maybe in twenty or thirty years, no one will make bamboo paper anymore, and we will have a monopoly on the whole country, and the price may be lower than the current bamboo paper, definitely lower. I took a deep breath, adjusted my voice, and said with a sense of vicissitudes: "After thinking about it, every child in Datang, regardless of gender, can use the paper we make, sit in a spacious and bright school to study, and all of them will become pillars of the country." When they are doing learning, when they are making meritorious achievements, when they are famous in the court....they may not think of those of us who have contributed silently. But we are enough, we are very satisfied to be able to do these things for the Tang Dynasty and the people," I stroked the body of Fu Lanling leaning over, and said affectionately: "When I am old and remember this life, I will not regret spending my time in vain, nor will I be ashamed of doing nothing; When I was dying, I could say that my whole life and all my energy had been dedicated to the greatest and magnificent country in the world---- and I was silently fighting for the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty and the people living and working in peace and contentment. β
Lan Ling leaned on me, lowered his head emotionally and rubbed against my face, and said softly: "It's the first time I've heard people talk about their desire for money and greed as such a grand ambition, you are a thousand-year-old ghost who is despicable and greedy for money and profit. Knowing that you have different hearts, I still can't help but be moved by your sweet words, maybe tying you to the silver cake will be more useful to you. β
"Eating garlic is good for the body, and besides, I eat garlic seedlings." I poured herbal tea and rinsed my mouth vigorously, "Agreed?" β
"Well," Lan Ling nodded, "What Lang Jun said is reasonable, the concubine doesn't know anything about the doorway here, so it's better to follow your method and let you succeed." β
"Okay, bookmark this new agreement," I said, taking out the plan to modify the cooperation agreement that I had prepared for a long time, and spread it on the table, "You can take a look first." β
"If you don't look at it, you can still sell it to me." Lan Ling happily pressed his handprint and handed me the agreement, "What else is going on?" β
"Huh?" Seeing that she agreed so quickly, I regretted it a little in my heart, I knew that I would have made it cheaper, "There is also a small request, do you replace the female shopkeeper you sent?" Mr. Hu, who made my family, can't deal with her, which affects the mood of work! β
"Don't think!" Lan Ling glanced at me provocatively, "To cooperate with someone like you who takes advantage of loopholes without paying attention, you have to be shrewd and capable, and don't play tricks with me."
"Hehe," I touched my head and smirked, "I'm really human, not like you say." β
"Okay, I won't tell you this, let's go to your sand pit for a while," Lan Ling got up and stretched, "I won't record anything today, I went back yesterday and heard that the 30,000 horses of Goryeo to reinforce Baekje were broken by Su Dingfang at Manjin Bridge." The imperial court had already ordered Xue Rengui to command 40,000 troops to attack Goryeo, and Liu Ingye, who was stationed in Silla, sent troops to form an encirclement of him. β
"Ahh This news from Lanling surprised me. At this time, the army was sent to Goryeo, nine years earlier than in history. The person who recorded history is so irresponsible that he deducts his monthly salary!
