Main Text Chapter 57: Favorable Conditions~
...
"The two of us have indeed verified that recipe. It is really a technology that benefits the world. Although we are horse merchants in Zhongshan and are not good at the salt industry, there are similarities in business after all. We plan to buy land in Qingzhou to manage salt. business." Su Shuang laughed, and did not hide it, after all, this is a huge profit, and it is the kind of material that is necessary in the world. Maybe the horses will be unsalable, but the four hundred years of the Han Dynasty has never heard of salt being unsalable.
Chen Xi murmured secretly, what do you mean by having something in common with business? You all want to use your self to deceive people. Even if the salt merchants in other places don’t even want their capital and you lower the price, you can make money. This is basically equivalent to In the money-grabbing industry, as long as you are not assassinated and your technology is not stolen, even if the Han Dynasty salt industry is squeezed out, it will not be a problem to form a monopoly in the end.
"I think you all know how much profit there is in this industry, so don't even think about giving it all to you. You also don't expect to be ransacked and enslaved like in the Hanwu era. The person in charge will chop up the waist and abandon the corpse." Chen Xi didn't care. Talking about things that make all businessmen shudder when they think about it.
"I don't want to." Zhang Shiping said timidly, and then wiped his sweat again, "Isn't the purpose of being a businessman all my life to leave some wealth for future generations? I, the ancestor, did my best for them."
Chen Xi raised his eyebrows and looked at Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping. These two guys are not idiots. What was originally in business talks and business affairs will be dragged into the family relationship of future generations.
"Yeah, it's not easy. How many things people have done today must be for future generations. Since everyone has the same thoughts, I won't say more. Let's go to the court to study it carefully." Chen Xi made a look. The expression of compassion shows that everyone is planning for future generations.
"Chen Juncheng invites you." Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping obviously gave a sigh of relief. Both of them were a little unable to grasp their own mentality, and it was inevitable that they would reveal their thoughts.
Chen Xi turned around with a smile and walked in. Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang also filed in. To the ancients, it was indeed rich and noble, but to Chen Xi, he basically didn't feel it. What he feels sad now is the paper...
Chen Xi yawned and took out a roll of white cloth from under a pile of bamboo slips and threw it to Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang casually, "Before the two of you came, I was so bored that I had almost completed the contract. Just point it out, and we can discuss it again.”
Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping took the white cloth and began to browse. After reading it roughly, they breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at the items on it, they were not as arrogant as he thought, nor as overbearing as the official business. One is reasonable.
However, Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping are a little entangled with the last two or three. One is the division of the salt industry, which is the regulation that stipulates where they can buy it. , The final right of custody and interpretation of the original version of the regulations lies with Chen Xi and Chen Zichuan, the Prime Minister of Taishan County. Although this is not very clear, it is not a matter of course. It was not written before, but this is written, which is very face-saving.
"Chen Juncheng, we don't understand the penultimate item." Su Shuang thought for a long time and still couldn't figure it out, so he pointed to the penultimate item and said.
"Oh, this is to let me know who you sold the salt to, and ask them to sign their names and fingerprints, so that I can help if something goes wrong." Chen Xi said casually.
Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping frowned a little. Wouldn't this show all the context under the eyes of the officials? In case something goes wrong, it is easy to be dealt with in one pot.
"Don't worry, I don't have your ideas all in one pot. What I want is the internal sales channels of the Han Dynasty. As for the outside of the Great Wall, you can do whatever you want. Of course, we have the right of first refusal for the things you get back, and what I want is not the final distribution channel." Chen Xi saw Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping frowned slightly, thought for a while and explained.
"What I want is the first three tiers of channels, that is, you sell salt to the big salt merchants in the states, and these salt merchants need to sign, and then the big salt merchants in the states send the salt to the states and counties, and the salt merchants in the states and counties need to sign, Afterwards, the salt merchants in the prefectures and counties will send it to the counties, and then there will be no need for it." Chen Xi looked at Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping and said, once these words came out, it was obvious that Su Shuang and the two were relieved a lot, and what they wanted was not themselves. The sales channel of the company, but the channel of the reseller.
"As for you worrying about me taking it all in one pot, I can turn the salt you sell into official salt, so that as long as you don't violate the law, no one will touch you. This is my bottom line." When Chen Xi said this, his face became serious. A lot, just to put it bluntly, if you don’t know each other again, I’ll switch to another person to talk to. If you two are cut off, a large number of businessmen will still come if you release this technology.
Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping looked at each other and nodded slightly. The current conditions are already very generous. If they continue to be ignorant, if Chen Xi is angered, it may be that he can't eat mutton and will cause trouble.
"Okay, then I'll sign it now." Seeing Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping eager to try, Chen Xi said.
"Okay." Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping nodded, each picked up a brush to sign their names on the white cloth, and then directly bit their thumbs and pressed a handprint on the white cloth without using ink pad.
"Okay, I've packed up the original, this copy, I'll sign it now, and then put my handprint on it, you keep it yourself." Chen Xi took out another white cloth from under a pile of bamboo slips, took out a brush and signed himself Chen Xi would not do such a painful thing as biting his own finger with ink pad on his name.
"You check with each other and put it away if there is no problem." Chen Xi also handed over the copy, and asked Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping to compare each other to make sure there was no problem, and then the three each put away their own copy.
"Mr. Chen, the 100,000 dans of grain and grass will be shipped in twice. The first batch of 20,000 tans will be sent to Fenggao by land within three days. As for the next 80,000 tans, the Zhen family will send them to Qingzhou along the coast. The Yellow River enters Jinan, and it will be transported to Taishan County by land, please remember to receive it." Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping put the copy of the contract in their arms with blushing faces, and cupped their hands at Chen Xi.
"The Zhen family." Chen Xi nodded, "I think you are probably in a hurry to go to Qingzhou to buy land and prepare to make salt. Here, I wish you two to make a lot of money here. If you want to come, you don't want to let it go Let me stop you."
"Thanks to the good words of Chen Juncheng, the two of us will not stay here for a long time. The housekeepers of Zhang and Su will come to hand over other things soon." Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping were obviously eager. After getting what they wanted, seeing Chen Xi didn't say much when he let go. He hurriedly cupped his hands and left.
