Chapter 325: Dahong Chamber of Commerce
Businessmen seek profit.
These businessmen who came to Liufu all came for the word 'profit'.
Liu Yiyi sat at the head of the hall, looking at the dozen or so gorgeously dressed businessmen sitting below, with a faint smile on his face, these people were his god of wealth.
The weather is very hot, and a few slightly fatter micro-businessmen in the hall have already seen sweat on their heads, if it weren't for the iced sour plum soup of Liufu and the huge business opportunities in their hearts, these people would not be sitting here safely. But even so, Yanagichichi still noticed the impatience on some people's faces.
"I'm also a businessman," Liu Yiyi glanced indifferently at the businessman sitting there, and took the lead in saying softly: "So, Liu understands your current mood very well. ”
Taking a sip of tea, Liu Yiyi continued unhurriedly: "Charcoal, it is a good thing, as fuel, it is many times more convenient and useful than the dry firewood used in ordinary times. Moreover, there are also a lot of charcoal mines in our Datang Dynasty, and my 'Liu's Coal Mill' is only a very small one of them, which is not enough to worry about, and friends who are well-informed should already know that none of the charcoal mines in the imperial court can be compared with my small mine. ”
"But," Liu Yiyi's tone changed slightly, and he said: "Although those big mines are big, they are too far away from Chang'an and Guanzhong, and the nearest one, not to mention more than a thousand miles, if it is consigned, whether it is by car or horse, or by water, it will increase some costs, and the selling price is far less affordable than my 'Liu's Coal Mill'." Glancing at the businessman below, Liu Yiyi said, "I think, this is also the purpose of your visit." ”
"What Mr. Liu said is very true," as soon as Liu's voice fell, an older shrewd old man arched his hand at Liuyi, and said: "However, the coal we came in directly from the 'Liu's Coal Mill' is almost the same as the market price in terms of price, and it is unprofitable to sell it, so when I heard that Mr. Liu returned from Yuzhong, the Dahong Chamber of Commerce sent me to negotiate the price of this coal with Mr. Liu, I wonder if Mr. Liu can give our Chamber of Commerce a reasonable price?" ”
Dahong Chamber of Commerce?
Liu Yiyi frowned slightly, does there exist such an organization as the Chamber of Commerce now? Why have you never heard of it mentioned before?
Liu Yiyi glanced at the dozen or so businessmen sitting there again, since they are all members of the Chamber of Commerce, what are so many people doing here, are they demonstrating?
Liu Yiyi couldn't help but look at Liu Wuchen on the side, and when he saw him nodding to himself, he knew that this Dahong Chamber of Commerce would not be fake, it seemed that he really existed.
"I don't know what this old gentleman is called?" Liu Yiyi arched his hand to ask the old man for advice.
"The little old man's surname is Sun, and his name is Li, and he is the vice president of the Dahong Chamber of Commerce, please ask Mr. Liu for more advice." Sun Zeli stood up, bowed to Liu Yiyi kindly, and then sat down slowly.
"Oh, it turned out to be President Sun, it's really disrespectful," Liu Yiyi returned the salute and asked Sun Zeli: "I don't know if President Sun has any advice on top of this price, you might as well say it and let Liu think about it, if it is appropriate, it is not impossible." ”
"Mr. Liu's words are serious, he doesn't dare to teach the little old man, Dahong Chamber of Commerce just wants to cooperate sincerely with Mr. Liu, I hope Mr. Liu can give himself and Dahong Chamber of Commerce a chance." Sun Zeli slowly stretched out a finger and whispered to Liu Yiyi: "We hope that the price Mr. Liu gives us can be one tenth lower than the market price, I don't know what Mr. Liu thinks?" ”
"A tenth?" Ten percent of the profit will be taken at once, Dahong Chamber of Commerce is really a big breath, Liu Yiyi took a sip of tea, smiled, he looked at Sun Zeli and said: "President Sun, don't laugh, this coal business is a small profit business, let one-tenth of the profit, and let us do it for nothing, there is no difference, this matter is not negotiable." ”
"Hehe, if Mr. Liu knew the monthly demand for this charcoal from our Dahong Chamber of Commerce, he wouldn't say so," Sun Zeli also smiled unhurriedly and said to Liu Yiyi: "The Dahong Chamber of Commerce can eat three-quarters of the charcoal for the 'Liu's Coal Mill' every month, and the people, things, vehicles and horses transported are all sent by our Dahong Chamber of Commerce. So, what does Mr. Liu think? ”
Product agent, Liu Yiyi's head suddenly popped up such a word.
This practice of the Dahong Chamber of Commerce is almost exactly the same as those agents in later generations. I sell products for you, and you give me a discount on the price to earn the difference.
"If you have money, everyone earns it, it is my consistent principle for Liu to do business, and I don't like ink to drag on things," Liu Yiyi chuckled and stretched out five fingers to Sun Zeli, and said admittedly: "Five percent, five percent of the current price, is my bottom line, President Sun, and friends can consider it." ”
"Oh, also, in the near future, the price of 'Liu's Coal Mill' charcoal may be raised, an increase of about two percent," Liu Yiyi picked up the tea bowl, and broke an inside message to Sun Zeli.
Per cent? Two percent? This is a ** naked temptation thrown by Liu Yiyi, Sun Zeli glanced at a junior sitting next to him, thinking about the profit in it.
"I wonder when Mr. Liu is going to adjust the price? Can you let me know? Sun Zeli asked Liu Yiyi in a low voice.
"It's not a secret," Liu Yiyi took a sip of tea and said to Sun Zeli, "When the weather gets colder after September, Chairman Sun should be able to think that this charcoal will have a greater effect in winter." ”
Compared with charcoal, the acquisition and price of charcoal will undoubtedly be more popular, for Liu Yi's words, Sun Zeli is also deeply convinced, he can even imagine that in this winter of this year, charcoal heating, will inevitably become a mainstream, the consumption of charcoal, must be several times the current amount.
Between a drop and a liter, their Dahong Chamber of Commerce will have at least seven percent of the concession, which is pitiful for a pound of charcoal, but for the overall huge consumption, the benefits are considerable.
Sun Zeli looked at the young man on the side with a little inquiry, and saw that he nodded slightly, so he smiled and arched his hand to Liu Yiyi and said: "Mr. Liu is a cheerful person, then we will no longer be hypocritical, five percent, we Dahong Chamber of Commerce, should go." ”
"Hehe, Liu knows that President Sun will not be such a visionless person," said Liu Yiyi got up, stretched out a right hand to Sun Zeli, looked at Sun Zeli with a smile and said, "President Sun, we have a happy cooperation!" ”
"Uh, great cooperation!" Sun Zeli was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, this should be a kind of celebratory etiquette, and he also stretched out his right hand and shook it with Liu Yiyi.
"Wuchen, go get some pen, ink, paper, and inkstone," he ordered Liu Wuchen on the side, and Liu Yiyi asked Sun Zeli to sit down, and said, "Now, let's discuss the details of cooperation." ”
The general direction and foundation were determined, and some other small things were much easier to do, and the group only discussed for half an hour, and then all the matters were determined, and Liu Wuchen recorded them on the side, forming a contract that was recognized by both parties.
Before he came, Sun Zeli already knew that Liu Yiyi had the habit of signing contracts with others, so he didn't hesitate much when he signed. For this kind of thing that guarantees both sides, the Dahong Chamber of Commerce is also very much in agreement.
"President Sun, happy cooperation!" After signing the contract, Liu Yiyi once again kindly stretched out his right hand.
"Happy cooperation, Mr. Liu!" Once born, twice cooked, handed the contract to the young man next to him, and Sun Zeli naturally held the general and Liu Yi together.
refused Liu Yiyi's invitation to leave them for dinner, and after the contract was signed, Sun Zeli led his merchants out of the door.
"Wuchen, tell me about the situation of the Dahong Chamber of Commerce, I know more." After sending people away, Liu Yiyi led Liu Wuchen back to the hall and asked Liu Wuchen softly.
"Young Master Hui, the Dahong Chamber of Commerce is the largest chamber of commerce in Guanzhong, which has a history of nearly two hundred years, and includes almost all industries in Guanzhong. For the Dahong Chamber of Commerce, Liu Wuchen seems to believe very much.
"Well, that's the best thing to do." Liu Yiyi nodded his head lightly and said: "You will go to the mine in a while and give an order, in the future, whenever the Dahong Chamber of Commerce comes to pick up coal, they will give the preferential treatment on the contract, well, go and check the young man who followed Sun Zeli, look at Sun Zeli's attitude towards him, his status in the Dahong Chamber of Commerce should also be not small, if you have the opportunity, go and contact him, and in the future, you will have to deal with them again." ”
Knowing the existence of the Dahong Chamber of Commerce, Liu Yiyi immediately thought of his more than 180 acres of radish and cabbage, as well as his 150 acres of tea, if they were all handed over, it might be a good choice.
