Chapter 268: Negotiation
Li Changfeng looked indifferent and smiled slightly.
"That's all?"
"Isn't that enough?"
Shangguan Yunfei was stunned.
The reason why he chose to meet Li Changfeng at this time was because Li Changfeng encountered difficulties in this regard and felt that he had a bargaining chip.
As a result, Li Changfeng's performance surprised him.
Li Changfeng took a sip of tea lightly, and said unhurriedly: "Let's talk about iron ore first, there is indeed a little problem on the emperor's side, but it can be easily solved, it is nothing more than a little delay in the construction period, which does not affect the overall situation." ”
"Besides, craftsmen are indeed a little short now, but this is temporary, our side has increased the cultivation efforts, and we have asked a lot for high prices, so the question of time is no longer a problem."
"As for the steel mills, I really don't have an advantage in terms of numbers, but we can solve it with the money in place, and we can build a few more. To be honest, the so-called advantages of your Shangguan family are not attractive to this prince. ”
In fact, Li Changfeng was very anxious, and the construction period was very important to him.
But the more at this time, the more you must not appear impatient, otherwise you will be manipulated and lose the opportunity in the negotiation.
Shangguan Feiyun is not so easy to fool, and said with a smile: "According to what I have learned, it will take at least a month for Your Highness to restore production capacity here, and it is impossible for craftsmen to become skilled in such a short period of time, and it will be difficult to stabilize output to meet demand in the future." ”
"And this is a long-term project, the investment is huge, and it must be repaid in a short period of time, otherwise it will cause huge pressure on the finances of the big cadres, and His Majesty will urge it, right?"
I have to say that Shangguan Feiyun got to the point.
Although Emperor Qianwu has not urged now, it does not mean that he will not urge it in the future, and it is also a big problem to stabilize the output of qualified rails.
However, if you want to take advantage of this, it is impossible to take advantage of Li Changfeng.
He said lightly: "The construction of the railway requires exploration and terrain planning routes, and there is a lot of preparatory work in the early stage, and a delay of a month has no impact." Construction has just begun, and the efficiency must have been slow. There needs to be a familiar process, and this transition time is just right for the craftsman to learn to be proficient, so none of this is a problem. ”
Speaking of this, Li Changfeng smiled.
"As for the urging of the father, do you think this prince needs to worry?"
Shangguan Feiyun was speechless.
After thinking about it carefully, it doesn't seem to make sense.
With Li Changfeng's degree of favor, even if Emperor Qianwu urges him again, what can he do?
From this point of view, the advantages of the Shangguan family are indeed not worth mentioning in front of Li Changfeng.
Li Changfeng really has no need to cooperate with the Shangguan family.
Realizing this, Shangguan Yunfei's face became a little solemn.
If you don't reach a cooperation with Li Changfeng, the decline of the Shangguan family is inevitable over time.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Li Changfeng threw out an olive branch.
"But...... It's not that he can't cooperate, after all, it's impossible for this prince to earn all the money in the world, right? ”
Shangguan Yunfei suddenly became interested.
"How to cooperate?"
"This prince can hand over the rails to you for production, and then purchase the rails you produce at the market price, I have the final say on the price, of course, I will definitely give you a certain profit margin, you can rest assured."
"You have the final say on the price? I'm afraid that's a bit wrong, right? Shangguan Yunfei said with a dry laugh.
It has always been the seller who sets the price, how can there be a buyer who sets the price?
This is completely against the rules of doing business.
Li Changfeng said with a smile: "I don't know if the old prime minister Feng Quji has told you about the prince's plan?" ”
Shangguan Yunfei nodded heavily: "Speaking of it, it is simply magnificent, and the contemptible people admire it very much." ”
"Then you know, how big the dosage is, the profit margin doesn't need me much, right?"
"This ......"
Shangguan Yunfei fell into deep thought.
According to the plan, it is indeed a very profitable business.
Li Changfeng added another fire: "Let you produce rails, and you must transfer the relevant smelting technology to you, or how will you produce it?" ”
Shangguan Yunfei's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Really?!"
Although Li Changfeng is a latecomer, his iron-making technology is superb, and he has left the Shangguan family far behind, which they can judge through the bicycles produced by Li Changfeng.
This is the reason why their family wants to cooperate with Li Changfeng.
Regarding technology transfer, Li Changfeng made a decision after careful consideration last night.
In order to manufacture nuclear weapons, more advanced special materials are needed, and efforts should be focused on the research and development and production of these materials.
It would be beneficial to him to transfer the relatively low technology of making railroad rails, and this technical barrier could actually be slowly analyzed by the craftsmen who bought off his steel mill.
So it's better to take the opportunity to sell it, and at the same time make a lot of money, and at the same time, pull the Shangguan family into his community of interests.
Li Changfeng smiled slightly: "Of course, this is a big project, how can this prince be able to eat it all alone?" Besides, it's easy to walk with more friends, isn't it? ”
Shangguan Yunfei nodded: "What His Highness said is extremely ...... But I'm afraid that the transfer of technology will cost a lot of money, right? ”
Li Changfeng raised five fingers: "Five million taels." ”
Shangguan Yunfei was stunned for a moment, then stood up from his chair and exclaimed, "Your Highness, are you joking?" ”
"This prince is not joking, when it comes to iron-making technology, this prince says first, who dares to say second? Even the explosives that can explode the mountains can't blow up the cannon body of this prince, do you think this technology is not worth so much money? ”
"I know this, but the price you offer is too outrageous, Your Highness!"
"No, it's not outrageous at all, with the smelting technology of this prince, do you only produce rails? All kinds of tools, knives, guns, swords and halberds can be produced, and excellent quality will allow you to get a larger market, don't you consider the profits? ”
Shangguan Yunfei was stunned.
Just now he was taken aback by the figure of five million taels, he really didn't take this into account, technological progress can indeed bring more lucrative profits to their family.
However, the cunning Shangguan Yunfei did not immediately express his position.
He said tentatively, "Your Highness is right, so why don't you do these businesses?" ”
Li Changfeng said lightly: "This prince said that it is impossible for me to earn all the silver in the world, and it is better to cooperate and win-win than to make enemies everywhere by cutting off people's financial routes." The most important thing is that the prince cares about the core technology such as steam trains, and to be honest, the technology of steelmaking is a bit low-end in the eyes of the prince. ”
Shangguan Yunfei laughed dryly and did not speak, his expression was a little unnatural.
Although he was not very comfortable in his heart, Li Changfeng was indeed qualified to say so.
After saying everything that should be said, Li Changfeng got up.
"You guys think about it, if you don't want to, the prince will do it himself."
