"Master Xu, Lu has no intention of pastime, he really wants to buy a car, but if you think about it, as long as you think about it, you will be able to find a solution."

Seeing that Xu Yuan was angry, Lu Xiangsheng hurriedly explained.

"If you think about it yourself, do you want Xu Jiazhuang to think of it for you?"

Xu Yuan said sarcastically, stretched out a finger, and issued an ultimatum: "Give you half an hour, if you can't think of a way to convince me, you can go back wherever you come." ”

"Lord Ran!"

Staff member Sun Yuanhua arched his hand and said: "10,000 bicycles, 5 million silver dollars, how about paying in installments for ten years?" With the strength of the Tianxiong army, you can eliminate the rogues, sweep the northern Mongolia, and Houjin, and you will definitely be able to defeat them one by one, and seize enough property to repay the debt. ”

"Ten years is too long."

Xu Yuan shook his head: "There are too many variables in the middle, five years, at most five years, if you can't pay all the purchase price within five years, the price of your breach of contract is probably not just as simple as returning the bicycle, Xu Jiazhuang's money is not so easy to owe!" ”

This dispels Sun Yuanhua's intention to release the arrogance that 'he will be able to save up to five million in five years', because this is indeed unlikely, no matter how much the Tianxiong Army can fight, it will have to consume a lot of money and food, and then complete the task of earning millions of silver dollars every year, which is simply impossible.

What's more, if you can really get a full five million silver dollars, you don't need to buy bicycles, but buy tens of thousands of high-quality war horses at the price of one hundred silver dollars each, and then buy countless forage beans, and hire a large number of strong horsemen, you can also create a pure cavalry army, which is equally strong in combat effectiveness, and the money spent is much less, maybe two or three million is enough.

In contrast, buying a bicycle is not cost-effective, unless the price is significantly reduced.

Therefore, the staff member Zhang Huayu proposed that the price of bicycles is unreasonable, the so-called large quantity and excellent price, buy tens of thousands of vehicles at a time, the unit price must be at least 80% off, 6% off, how can it be the same as the retail price?

"It's no problem to get a discount, as long as you can immediately take out four million or three million taels, eight or six percent off are negotiable, but you come with the purpose of credit, so that Xu Jiazhuang can bear the risk of not being able to receive the payment, do you think it is possible to enjoy the discounted price?"

Xu Yuan shook his head and said.

Zhang Huayu wilted, there was really no way to refute it, this discount price obviously couldn't be negotiated.

"My lord, we might as well find a way to capture more prisoners and send a large number of miners to the Xujiazhuang caravan."

At this time, Li Chongzhen, who followed him, stood up, walked to Lu Xiangsheng's side, leaned into his ear and said: "My lord is deeply taught by the sage, and he can't do anything that hurts heaven and reason, but we don't arrest the Huaxia people as miners, but we can go to arrest foreign people, such as the Tusi tribe in Yungui, Mongolia in the north, and Jiannu in Liaodong, and after defeating them, sell the captives to Xujiazhuang, with the number of these foreign people, in three or five years, it is no problem to catch millions of people, since these are all foreign races that do not obey the indoctrination, it is okay to sell them as miners. There is no such thing as a problem that harms nature and reason. ”

"This ......"

Lu Xiangsheng thought about it, he was not a pedantic Confucian, he still shook his head and said: "People of different races are also people, there are injuries to Tianhe, or there are injuries to Tianhe, you can't do it, once the Tianxiong Army falls, how can you care about any foreign race, you will be arrested when you see someone, and then you will deceive and deceive me." ”

This Fang Yu was also rejected by Lu Xiang, not that he was naïve and kind, and felt that the alien race could be easily influenced, which was unlikely, and he also thought that the alien race was a huge threat and the object to be attacked, but once faced with the capture of a foreign race, there was a reward of 10 to 30 silver dollars, and in the eyes of some soldiers, there was only a silver dollar for white flowers, and there was no difference between the different races of their own race.

"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, what are we going to do?"

The attendant Lei Shisheng frowned, it seems that every road is impassable, and if he knew this, he shouldn't have come to this harbor city.

"There is a way, there must be a way, but I haven't thought of it yet."

Lu Xiangsheng grabbed his hair and racked his brains to find a perfect solution.

But more than half an hour passed.

Several of them got together to discuss more than a dozen of them, and then they all rejected it themselves.

And Xu Yuan, who had already drunk three cups of tea and watched the excitement for a long time, was not willing to wait any longer, he knocked on the coffee table next to his knuckles to attract their attention, and said: "How is it, the time is almost up, have you come up with a good way?" ”

"Figured it out!"

Lu Xiangsheng said: "We don't buy tens of thousands of bicycles, we only need 3,000!" One and a half million taels of payment, can be paid first, the remaining nine components are paid off in three years, that is, 450,000 yuan per year, if the battlefield capture is not enough to repay, then pay the account with young miners, as long as the old thief and habitual offender of about 20,000 are caught every year, or the young and strong of different races, this is not very difficult, the Tianxiong Army is sure to do it, and so the payment for this batch of bicycles is settled, we will buy the second batch, the third batch, as concocted, about ten years, the Tianxiong Army can also have 10,000 bicycles. ”

After listening to this square.

Including Xu Yuan, the people on the Xu Jiazhuang side had to nod.

OK.

This is indeed possible.

The feasibility and operability are very high, the risk is reduced to a very low level, and there is no problem with the payment side, with the combat effectiveness of the Tianxiong Army, it is easy to catch 20,000 young people every year, and there is no need to worry about it at all.

Xu Yuan didn't expect that this Lu Xiangsheng really had two brushes, took a step back and opened the sky, and after reducing the demand for bicycles to 3,000, it was similar to the behavior of buying a house and only preparing a 30% down payment, and the big problem became a small problem.

"Master Xu, I don't know how Lu's Fang Yu is?"

The corners of Lu Xiangsheng's mouth curled, and he said quite proudly, as if he had won back a city.

"Yes, I can't fault it too much, but I have two better ones here, I wonder if you're interested?" Xu Yuan threw the bait and said.

"Master Xu, please say, Lu wants to hear it." Lu Xiangsheng's eyes lit up.

"The first square eucalyptus is a gamble on the eucalyptus, 10,000 bicycles, we Xujiazhuang can be delivered to Tianxiongjun, but the repayment method is like this, if you can pay 3 million taels within three years, the rest of the payment does not have to be paid, it is considered to be a six-fold discounted price; If the payment of 4 million taels can be completed within four years, the rest of the payment does not have to be paid, and it will be considered a 20% discounted price; If you can't save enough 5 million taels within five years, you don't have to worry, for every 200,000 taels less, Tianxiong Army will become a mercenary under the name of Xujiazhuang, serving Xujiazhuang for half a year, less than 400,000 taels for one year, and so on, even one tael of silver can not be paid within five years, as long as five years later, Tianxiong Army will be hired for Xujiazhuang for more than ten years, and in the Xujiazhuang system, you can still enjoy good treatment, and you can also be awarded meritorious service. ”

Xu Yuan said.

"Master Xu, please say the second square."

Lu Xiangsheng didn't even think about it, so Xu Yuan's saliva for several minutes was in vain.

"The second is the partner, Xujiazhuang can first lend 10,000 bicycles to the Tianxiong Army, and then in the next few years, the Xujiazhuang caravan will be stationed in the Tianxiong Army, and put forward a variety of cooperation projects, such as recruiting miners, escorting the caravan, paving bridges and roads, exterminating water bandits, assisting in prospecting and mining, etc., each time a task is completed, the Tianxiong Army can get a number of rewards, if the Tianxiong Army is outstanding, within three years, help Xujiazhuang bring more than 3 million taels of benefits, and the bicycle money is written off, If the benefits of 4 million taels are brought within four years, and the purchase price is also written off, if the cooperation cycle exceeds five years, as long as the total income brought by the Tianxiong Army to Xujiazhuang reaches the cap of 5 million taels, then the two sides can end the cooperation, the Xujiazhuang caravan can leave, and the Tianxiong Army will restore its original independence and do not have to obey any arrangements of Xujiazhuang. ”

Xu Yuan said, this set of Fang Yu said that it was cooperation, in fact, it was the Tianxiong Army who worked for Xujiazhuang, and actually became a mercenary of Xujiazhuang, but the length of time of employment depends on the degree of power of the Tianxiong Army, anyway, it is three years short, and more than five years long, but it will generally not exceed ten years or eight years, and in the process of cooperation, Xujiazhuang will get enough benefits, and the Tianxiong Army can be freed and completely get rid of the state of being bound by Xujiazhuang.

Compared with the first set of 'independence first, then employment', this set of methods is 'hire first, then independence', the advantages and disadvantages of the two are different, but in essence there is not much difference, just two versions of the same set.

"This ...... Does the owner of Xu Zhuang have no other way? ”

Lu Xiangsheng was not stupid at all, and immediately saw that there was not much difference between the two sets of squares, and he didn't want to consider either of them.

But the entourage Li Chongzhen was moved, and immediately said: "My lord, let's choose the partner Eucalyptus, the bet Fang Eucalyptus wants us to earn more than 3 million taels ourselves, and the partner Eucalyptus is to assist Xu Jiazhuang to earn more than 3 million, the difference is too big, or the partner is better." ”

The entourage Lei Shisheng also said: "My lord, I also think that the partner is good, as long as we help Xujiazhuang complete a few more tasks, maybe in less than three years, we don't have to be bound by Xujiazhuang, but we get tens of thousands of bicycles, my lord, this deal is very cost-effective." ”

Staff members Sun Yuanhua and Zhang Huayu did not express their opinions, although they are also more inclined to cooperate with Fang Yu, but at the political level, once the Tianxiong Army and Xu Jiazhuang establish cooperation and binding, politically, this is definitely a suicidal behavior, which will be more disgusted and rejected by the imperial court, and it is impossible to gain the trust of the imperial court and the emperor.

can only let Lu Xiangsheng make a decision.

And about a quarter of an hour later.

Contrary to everyone's expectations, Lu Xiangsheng chose the gambling party.

But the number of Jinlong brand bicycles, he only needs 7,000! The remaining 3,000 establishments, he wants to form a cavalry force of 3,000 people, so 7,000 bicycles + 3,000 cavalry, the formation of a highly mobile army, not to mention the combat effectiveness, but also has a more powerful impact, but the pressure on logistics will increase a little, but it is not insurmountable.

For 7,000 bicycles, the preferential price of 6% off is calculated, that is, within three years, as long as you pay 2.1 million taels, and the average annual completion is only 700,000.

Compared with the Fang Yu that he just proposed, only buying 3,000 bicycles, but paying an average of 450,000 taels a year, the burden has not increased too much, and it is really against the saint's benevolent teachings, so he can only do a little bit of 'hurting the peace of heaven', catch 30,000 young people every year, and let about 100,000 creatures cry.

There is no way, 100,000 people crying, it is much better than a million howling, he Lu Xiangsheng has been in charge of the army for so many years, participated in dozens of battles large and small, and has long understood the truth of not being in charge of the army, and there are hundreds of human lives that have been terminated by his own hands, although he still has a holy heart, but he has already learned to compromise with reality.

If it is replaced by another ruthless Hong Chengchou, who is known for his love of killing, not to mention that millions of people are crying, even if he is crying tens of millions, he can do it.

As for the risk of failing to complete the payment of 2.1 million taels for the car within three years, postponing it to four or five years, and even having to become a mercenary and continue to work and serve Xujiazhuang, Lu Xiangsheng has never considered this risk, because it is impossible to become a mercenary.

"Choose the right bet, but only 7,000 bicycles ......"

Xu Yuan thought about it, nodded and said, "Okay!" 7,000 is 7,000 vehicles, just because the production capacity of the bicycle factory is not high, and this quantity can also be delivered quickly, and the clerk, on the content of the negotiation just now, immediately drafted two "VAM agreements", and then signed the VAM. ”

"Yes!"

"Thank you, Master Xu!"

Lu Xiangsheng and others were even more unexpected, and it became that this car purchase cooperation, which had little hope, was miraculously negotiated.

As for who suffered a big loss in this cooperation, who took advantage, which party fell into which party's routine, and who could have the last laugh, it is still impossible to see, and it can only be tested by time.
