Chapter 742: A Million? Can you?
Chapter 742: One Million? Can you?
"What the general said is very true, this is an opportunity for us, and at the same time a trouble, so I suggest that it is more appropriate to hand it over directly to Zhang Yuanwai.
First of all, Zhang Yuanwai has been sitting in Xianyang City, and he understands the market faster than us, as long as we can get the market price as soon as possible, and then buy wool, sheepskin and cowhide at a lower price than the market.
Second, we can free up our hands to do other things, for the general, the farm is the place to raise funds, and in the future, the general's business will be in the Western Regions. Look at the book
Thirdly, and most importantly, we don't have enough people to buy wool and things like that." Zhang Yi said his thoughts.
"It turns out that General Han Xin wants to enter the Western Regions, so our goal is the same. If we can, we can work together." Zhang Youcai said.
"No, we're up to us." Han Xin said.
Zhang Youcai said with a smile: "General Han Xin knows at a glance that he has never done business, businessmen have friends and opponents, if the general wants to be a group of lonely wolves in the business field, then I'm sorry, you only have two results, one is that you will never get rich, and the other is to lose money and go out of business."
If the general doesn't believe it, you can ask Shopkeeper Zhang."
Zhang Yi's head said: "Zhang Yuanwai is right, on the battlefield, no matter how powerful a soldier is, he needs the help of his comrades, and the same is true in business, even if we have money, it is impossible for the entire Western Regions merchants to be the opponent.
We do need partners, and when we have partners, we have no money, so we can borrow from our business partners, and if we are in trouble, we can also help our business partners.
But it all depends on the credibility of the businessman, the person with a good reputation, just like the emperor, as long as he gives an order to invest in Jiuquan County, the merchants of the entire Xianyang City, no, it should be said that the merchants of the entire Great Qin have rushed to Jiuquan County.
The purpose is to get a piece of the pie in Jiuquan County.
Of course, the general's credibility cannot be compared to that of the emperor."
Han Xin rolled his eyes, can this be compared, the changes in the entire world, including his current position, are all because of the emperor.
It is no exaggeration to say that except for the first emperor, the reputation of the emperor is the highest, as long as the emperor says a word, he can make everyone in the world follow him.
Zhang Yi continued, "However, if the general's reputation is good, everyone will be convinced of the general, and the merchants will be willing to do business with the general.
Even if the general can't come up with the money or hand over the goods for a while, everyone will give the general a relief.
It has been said that if a businessman has a very good reputation, even if he goes bankrupt overnight, he can still make a comeback the next day.
If there is no money, his business partner will lend it to him, and if there is no workshop, someone will immediately help him call a workshop, and the fee will be given when the merchant makes money.
If you don't have workers, don't worry, your own workers are in arrears to help you work, because you have a good reputation, everyone is willing to help you, and everyone believes that you will not treat them badly."
"Those who do business, reputation comes first, the untrustworthy will have no one to help, and the faithful will have someone to help everywhere.
Mencius once said that those who have attained the Tao will have much help, and those who have lost the Tao will have little help, and this sentence can be used not only in the court and the army, but also in business." Han Xin said.
"What the general said is very true." Zhang Yi said, "General, since Zhang Yuanwai wants to become a business partner with you, then I very much agree with this matter.
However, General Zhang Yuanwai is not just one person, there are many people below, and my goal is to make a profit of one million a year.
I don't know if you can do it?"
Zhang Yi's words made Zhang Youcai stunned.
Immediately, Zhang Youcai exclaimed: "You are crazy, you make a million taels a year, my textile factory can't make a million a year, how can you make a million?"
"I naturally have my own thoughts, don't forget, who am I? The people cultivated by Lord Meng Yi are taught by the emperor."
"I'm still Gongzi Jianglu's subordinate, Jianglu Gongzi is not a teacher of the emperor, don't tell me this.
What do you think about a million a year. Even if you can raise 10,000 animals, 10,000 cows, and 10,000 horses, have you calculated the cost?
And can you guarantee that the cattle, sheep and horses will not get sick in the middle of the breeding, and if there is a plague in one sheep, can you afford to lose 10,000 sheep?" Zhang Youcai asked.
"So, the farm is not my ultimate goal, although the farm is a good way to make a living, but the farm is not profitable, the real money is the finished products such as dried meat and milk powder.
I'm sure Zhang Yuanwai has heard of these two things, and he came to the farm for these two things."
"Even then, I wouldn't have made a million profits."
"200,000 is there."
Zhang Youcai was silent for a moment and said, "As long as the business is good, let alone 200,000, I can do 500,000."
"My requirements are not high, only 200,000, of course there will be more and more in the future." Zhang Yi said, "Immediately after, I will run a green house, a restaurant, and an inn in Jiuquan County.
Zhang Yuanwai, you are a businessman, you should know that once Jiuquan County becomes a trading center, that is, a transit point between the Western Regions and Daqin, then Jiuquan County will be very lively.
The Qinglou will be a gold cave, and there is absolutely no problem with making money every day, do you agree with this?"
Zhang Youcai said, "You do have more than I thought, but do you think that no one will compete with you for the Qinglou?
Let me tell you, Jiang Lu Gongzi has planned to build three green buildings, ten inns, and ten restaurants in Jiuquan County, and not only that.
There are countless houses to be built, those houses, water conservancy and so on, but I am in charge of the textile sector, and other industries are naturally in charge of other people.
You want a piece of the pie, do you think about the pressure of competition?"
"There is competitive pressure, but I believe that there are not only three green houses, but there may be more, and there must be one of them.
Emptying is not only a place for recreation, but also a place for businessmen to receive guests, and a place for scholars to recite poetry.
As far as I know, the Qinglou in Xianyang City is not the best Qinglou, because the emperor has not given good advice to the Qinglou.
Even if it is Jiang Lu's son, he doesn't attach much importance to the Qinglou, so the Qinglou is the only opportunity for us to make money, or to make a lot of money.
On the other hand, the women of the Qinglou need to be proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and songs, and the most important thing is to be beautiful and be good at singing and dancing.
As long as I find a few women with more than a few points as pillars, then it will be difficult for my Qinglou not to become popular."
"Makes sense. But the point is, do you have such a woman?" Zhang Youcai asked.
Han Xin was also a little puzzled, looked at Zhang Yi and said, "How do I feel that you are a little unreliable?"
