Chapter 20 I will never lose money in business(1/2)
For a whole morning, Fang Xiu took Li Yucheng to visit the chambers of commerce in almost the entire Mianchi County, including Hebei, Jiangnan, Shu, Zhejiang, etc.
He negotiated the cloth business with Shu, porcelain business with Zhejiang, paper and printing business with Jiangnan, and vinegar and soy sauce business with Hebei. In short, it was almost a chamber of commerce, so just a change of another business.
The samples he gives each time far exceeds the top quality of the market. The price is only half of the market, and it is even low, which is almost irresistible.
In modern discourse, this can achieve the price that monopolizes the entire market.
Li Yucheng, who was following Fang Xiu, was almost shocked the more he heard it. The imperial envoy of the Jinyiwei had never told him when he went down the mountain to negotiate such a big business.
Li Yucheng could not imagine how much money he could do business with almost half of the people from the Daliang National Chamber of Commerce at the same time. This money was probably bought half of Luoyang.
What Li Yucheng even more unexpected was how Lord Fang took out goods to satisfy the major chambers of commerce. This is a half-world chamber of commerce, and their wealth is enough to buy half of the world.
"Young Master, you have such a low price, isn't you going to pay for it?"
After discussing the last business and leaving Mianchi County, Li Yucheng looked at the city behind him and couldn't help but ask.
"Pay? I never pay for business."
Fang Xiu shook his head, how could he lose money when doing business?
The dumping of modern industrial civilization products on ancient feudal dynasties is a big profit even if they only sell half of the original top-level items.
Take the paper business as an example. When the gross profit of a piece of paper in the modern paper industry is close to eight points, it will take only the money to dump a piece of paper and make at least 100 times more than 100 times.
Even if the price doubles, he can make at least fifty times. Trade across time and space is so profitable, otherwise how could he say he should control the business of the entire Daliang Kingdom?
The word "dumping" is not just a saying, but the whole thing is like the Yellow River pouring into the sea, completely unstoppable.
"How can you not lose money at such a low price?" Li Yucheng said incomprehensiblely.
"It's very simple, just reduce the cost even lower." Fang Xiu said with deep meaning.
"The most basic labor and materials cannot be so cheap?"
Li Yucheng shook his head and said, he understood the labor costs of the entire Henan Prefecture and could also judge the labor costs and material costs in other parts of Daliang Country. Such costs were almost impossible.
If the Daliang Kingdom cannot do it, it will be even more impossible for other countries to do it.
"This is the secret. Follow me honestly and you may know one day."
Fang Xiu smiled with a deep meaning, then pointed to the package behind Li Yucheng and said, "There is still a hundred taels of gold in the bag. I will take it to you for the brothers who have closed the mountain together. Tell them that I will never be stingy with people. If they don't want to close the mountain, then let others come."
"Sir, are there too many?"
Li Yucheng came out to bring a battalion this time. Logically speaking, there were five hundred people, but there were three hundred people who were entitled to empty salary, so there were only two hundred people.
This is not because Li Yucheng is so greedy, but the entire Daliang Kingdom is like this. It is said that it is a million soldiers, but in fact it is probably a big deal. This is the rule of military generals. If others do this, if you don’t, you will be excluded.
Therefore, after Li Yucheng took charge, the actual number of people was not restored, and there were still only 200 people in a battalion.
Two hundred people will be divided into 100 taels of gold, so one person will be half a tael of gold, which is equivalent to five jin of coins, which is 5,000 coins. You should know that the military pay of these soldiers is only about 800 coins a month, and they are often deducted.
This is really too much, almost equivalent to half a year's military pay.
"If you want to hire people, then you can't be too stingy." Fang Xiu patted Li Yucheng's shoulder and said, "And, I have a lot of things to do next, so that they can always taste the sweetness of doing things."
"I understand if I have a thousand gold coins to buy horse bones." Li Yucheng nodded and said.
Fang Xiu continued: "After this batch of money is distributed, if someone in the Xiang army wants to block the Mount Wu, you can accept it all. I will still be able to do things later. The number of people under the Mount Wu is still a little smaller. Of course, if you have a suitable candidate, you can also let him come to Mount Wu."
"Yes!" Li Yucheng nodded again.
Fang Xiu waved his hand and said, "Okay, you go back to Wushan first. I still have some things to deal with."
Li Yucheng bowed and turned around and left.
After saying goodbye to Li Yucheng, Fang Xiu stayed there for a moment, glanced at the person following him, and then looked at the person following Li Yucheng. He ignored these people, and Fang Xiu returned directly to Mianchi County.
Fang Xiu didn't have to think about who these people were. They were all from various chambers of commerce.
The chamber of commerce in Daliang Kingdom is very powerful. Both black and white have their own hands and eyes. The temples and rivers and lakes have their own power. If you do not have enough strength, then doing business with them will only be eaten clean.
However, Fang Xiu is not worried about this matter now. His current identity is the imperial envoy of the Jinyiwei, and the emperor's hope for survival.
An imperial envoy died in Henan Prefecture, and no one could suppress the parties in the court. More importantly, no one dared to force the emperor to death. No one knew what he could do if an emperor was on the verge of death.
Within at least one year, Fang Xiu could do business with peace of mind, which is the meaning of his obtaining this identity.
Of course, the meaning of this identity is far more than that. This identity is still the key to Fang Xiu's control of the entire Jinyiwei, and Jinyiwei is the power that Fang Xiu can truly turbulent the court.
In Fang Xiu's original world, during the Tianqi period of the Ming Dynasty, the Jinyiwei East Factory worked together to create a monster - the nine thousand-year-old Wei Zhongxian, which was truly powerful.
Obviously, such a monster has not appeared in this world, and he does not know how to overthrow the emperor. This is really a waste.
………
In the Mianchi County town, Fang Xiu, who had returned, walked to a remote courtyard. Then he reached out to knock on the gate seven times in a row, and said:
"Is Mr. Li at home?"
Fang Xiu has seen various chambers of commerce now, so it is time for him to meet the people from the Jinyiwei.
The Chamber of Commerce can use it for him, so can the Jinyiwei.
"Who?" A voice came from the yard.
"Relatives in Tokyo."
The door slowly opened, and a man in servant clothes walked out and looked at the token in Fang Xiu's hand, immediately led Fang Xiu in and said, "Mr. Wang, Lord Li has been waiting for you for a long time."
Fang Xiu nodded and followed the servant in. Not long after, he saw the owner of the courtyard.
He was a thin middle-aged man with a look of weakness, but his eyes were bright and energetic.
As soon as Fang Xiu entered, he heard the sound of the Book of Warlocks in his ears, telling him that this was a master with a first-level advanced strength in front of him.
This made Fang Xiu look at him more. If there was no bonus from the Book of Warlock, this guy would be a small level stronger than him.
After the last time I communicated with Han Qing, Fang Xiu had already figured out the power system of this world.
In this world, the acquired realm of practicing form and transformation essence is equivalent to the level of a first-level intern sorcerer to a first-level low-level sorcerer, and the innate realm of refining essence and transformation qi is equivalent to the level of a first-level intermediate sorcerer to a first-level high-level sorcerer. Its actual explosive power is between ordinary bullets and heavy artillery.
The master who practices Qi and returns to God is equivalent to a second-level intern sorcerer to a second-level low-level sorcerer, and the master who practices God and returns to the void is equivalent to a second-level intermediate-level high-level sorcerer. His actual explosive power is at the level of low-end conventional missiles to high-end conventional missiles.
The land gods who return to the Void and Hedao are equivalent to level three-level intern sorcerers to level three low-level sorcerers, and the celestial beings who are in the Pure Yang position are equivalent to level three-level intermediate to level three-level high-level sorcerers. Their actual explosive power is already comparable to nuclear explosions, and they are real human-shaped nuclear bombs.
The most famous of these are Lu Zu and Chen Tuan. They were said to have been powerful in heaven and man a long time ago, which is why the emperor dared not touch Li Boyang directly.
"Li Wei, a hundred households stationed in Henan Prefecture, had met the imperial envoy." After seeing Fang Xiu, the thin and weak middle-aged man immediately bowed.
Li Weigong is the person from the Jinyiwei left to Fang Xiu by Li Cong, and the person from the Jinyiwei who is staring at Li Boyang.
Li Boyang was once an important official in the capital. He almost knew the senior officials of the Jinyiwei, and he was not happy about it. In order not to anger Li Boyang, the people who investigated Li Boyang's whereabouts were all people who were not familiar to Li Boyang. Li Weigong was the candidate for this time.
He himself is one of the spies stationed in Xijing. He is not very strong, but he is good at dancing and is very good at communicating with others. He is also one of the few people who do not make Li Boyang disgusted.
So Li Weigong was selected as the candidate to stare at Li Boyang.
"Get up, I don't promote etiquette here. I just need someone who can help me with things." Fang Xiu immediately restored Wang Mudao's character, his face was cold and he was authentic.
"Yes!" Li Weigong stood up after hearing this.
"Tell me about the current situation." Fang Xiu walked into the house and sat down.
"Yes, Li Boyang is now accusing a cultivator in Shangqing Palace in Mangshan. Although he doesn't hate us to investigate, he is unwilling to communicate with us. However, as an adult, you may try it."
Li Weigong stood beside Fang Xiu and talked about Li Boyang's current situation and gave suggestions.
But Fang Xiu refused directly and said, "No hurry to do this. I need to prepare something that will impress my uncle to meet him. Just stare at him first. When it's time to see him, I will meet him."
Li Weigong looked at Fang Xiu after hearing this, then nodded and said, "Yes!"
Li Weigong has never been a person who can contradict his superiors. Even if he thinks his superiors’ decision is wrong, he will never say it.
No matter who he is, even if he hates it, he will never offend people. Therefore, no one who gets along with him will think that this person is annoying, and will even like this guy.
Fang Xiu nodded and said, "I still have some things you need to do."
"Sir, please speak." Li Wei said respectfully.
"Do you want to get rich?" Fang Xiu asked.
"Ah?" Li Wei was stunned for a moment.
"I have a business in Mianchi County and someone needs to help me manage it. This person must be able to suppress the various chambers of commerce with thoughts. I think you are very suitable. Although you are a secret stake, your secret stake has ended from the moment you contact Li Boyang, right?" Fang Xiu looked at Li Wei and said with congratulations.
"I don't know what business it is, my subordinates have never done business and are afraid that they have no experience."
Fang Xiu smiled and said, "It's a very simple business."
………
By the time Fang Xiu left Li Weigong's mansion, it was already dusk.
Looking at the sunset hanging in the distance in the sky, Fang Xiu slowly withdrew his gaze and walked into the forest outside Mianchi County.
The seeds of the Jinyiwei have been planted, and Fang Xiu believes that it will take root and sprout soon.
Power and wealth are the most susceptible things in this world. When someone becomes a vested person, it is difficult for him to refuse to speak for the benefit himself.
What Fang Xiu wanted to give the Jinyiwei was a huge amount of wealth, and after getting this wealth itself, it would be difficult to reject him.
Even if Li Weigong can refuse, can his Jinyi Guards refuse?
To be continued...
