As a result, someone was sent the next day to take away the 20% of salt Lu Bai had promised.
Lu Bai asked someone to give it to him.
Da Hei Niu was very disappointed with this, "Old Lu, you are too cowardly. Since you have offended him, why don't you also deduct the 20% salt from him?"
The big black bull wished he could hold all the salt in his hands, it was all silver.
"Integrity is necessary in doing business." Lu Bai still insists on this aspect.
If he doesn't swallow one person's goods today and another person's goods next time, no one will dare to do business with Lu Bai in the future.
After all, word spread outside that this is the owner who dares to swallow Dongchang's goods.
"Oh, by the way." Lu Bai turned around and asked Dahei Niu, "What's the current price of salt in Yancheng?"
"It keeps rising. I only hear about the price of salt, but I don't see any salt. Now official salt is rare." That's why Da Hei Niu feels sorry for the 20% of salt.
Lu Bai raised his eyebrows, "Official salt is no longer common? What do you mean?"
"Hey, after hearing that the salt affairs would be under the control of the West Factory, many wealthy households began to buy official salt as private salt and then stockpile it. The Salt Supervision Bureau was forced to limit purchases every day, so——"
Hei Niu gave Lu Bai a look and asked him to understand, then he raised his head and drank a pot of wine.
Damn it!
Lao Lu’s technique is so good.
You can drink and practice martial arts.
As for private salt, now the people in the whole city are eagerly waiting for the White Wolf to help these salt gangs release salt.
By then, not to mention it will be lower than official salt, even if it is the same price as official salt, many people will buy it.
Not only the common people, but also the people of the White Wolf Gang are now thinking about private salt.
"A few days ago, everyone in our gang was running out of salt, and they asked me if they could get some salt from our salt warehouse." Dahei Niu is the person in charge of the White Wolf Gang's force, and is now mainly responsible for guarding the White Wolf Gang.
Private salt.
Lu Bai looked at him, "What did you do?"
The big black cow patted his chest and said, "Of course I refuse."
Ever since Gu Qinghuan took over, a very strict system of distinguishing public and private matters has been implemented. Even if the members of the White Wolf Gang want private salt, they need to pay for it and cannot take it from the gang.
Lu Bai patted Da Hei Niu on the shoulder, but Da Hei Niu was too tall, so he patted her chest, "Good job. Also, if anyone wants salt again, ask him to come to me, I said to him
Said."
The big black cow nodded in agreement.
However, he then asked, "When do we add salt?"
Lu Bai wondered, "You don't want to cook, so why are you so anxious?"
The big black cow rolled his eyes and said, "Nonsense, it's just drinking wine. It's so boring without food and wine."
She proudly told Lu Bai that the medicinal wine paired with braised dried tofu would be so delicious.
"Uncle, this wine is for you to practice, not for you to drink." Lu Bai said angrily, and then asked doubtfully, "What does the presence of salt have to do with your dried tofu?"
Da Hei Niu said angrily: "Nonsense, if you don't put salt out, the boss lady who braised the dried tofu will have to go to the toilet to braise the dried tofu."
Da Hei Niu casually took out a piece of dried tofu wrapped in oil paper from his sleeve and wanted Lu Bai to try it. "It's fine now. At least it still has a little salty taste, but it's not quite authentic."
Lu Bai refused and asked: "Where do you put this dried tofu?"
"Armpit." The big black cow said that it can add a little more flavor.
"Depend on!"
Lu Bai was convinced.
"Why don't you use your smelly socks to smell it."
The big black cow gave him a blank look, "You haven't seen it before, right? The socks smell like stinky dried tofu."
Lu Bai was defeated by her IQ.
"Okay, I won't tell you this anymore." Lu Bai brought the topic back to private salt, "You should prepare yourself. We will put salt in three or five days."
Dahei Niu was overjoyed, "Great!"
She finally didn't have to worry about the dried tofu coming out of the toilet.
But then again, Da Hei Niu asked Lu Bai, "They didn't add any salt. At what price should we sell it?"
Lu Bai had already considered this.
Originally, he had not made up his mind before going to Kagura Restaurant, but now that he had offended the admiral and offended him so severely, he had made up his mind.
Since you have already offended someone harshly, why not offend him a little more harshly?
"Seventy percent of official salt." Lu Bai said.
Da Hei Niu was surprised, "Talent, only 70%?"
He asked Lu Bai to think about it again. Now the official salt is in high demand, and the 70% of the salt price is just for charity.
"Charity?" Lu Bai didn't think so.
The salt price he got at 50% of the official salt price, including the profit and the shipping fee for this busy trip, came to a total of 70%, just right.
Of course, it’s not impossible to set a higher price.
But when doing business, you must know how to be content, and you cannot lose your conscience just because you are profitable.
More importantly, if one day the White Wolf Gang leaves Yancheng, then Yancheng will be the hometown and headquarters of the White Wolf Gang, shouldering the important task of exporting its core members. Lu Bai cannot let the White Wolf Gang's reputation in Yancheng become bad.
Seventy percent is just right.
Big Black Bull can't understand these tricks.
However, since Lu Bai said it was a good deal, Da Hei Niu was relieved.
She was afraid that Lu Bai would be impulsive and pay for it, and then she would have no choice but to follow the northwest wind.
Just as Da Hei Niu was about to make arrangements, he was stopped by Lu Bai again, "Oh, by the way, don't spread the news about the price of salt yet, lest the salt not reach the people's hands, but all the salt goes into their hands."
By this they were not only referring to the second-level dealers, but also to the Jin Yiwei and the admiral.
If the price of Lu Bai's salt is low, they probably wouldn't mind buying Lu Bai's salt, then changing hands and selling it at a higher price.
Da Hei Niu didn't understand, "Then what are you going to do?"
The salt will go on sale sooner or later. As long as the price is low, the admirals, Jin Yiwei and others will buy it back.
Lu Bai smiled, "Let's play something new. If you let it out, let's say that the White Wolf Gang's private salt is now available for pre-order. The price and time of the salt have not been determined yet. As for the pre-order discount——"
Lu Bai pondered for a moment, "Well, I'll give you an extra five cents of salt."
"Pre-order?" Da Hei Niu was confused.
What a trick this is.
However, when she told Lu Bai's idea to Lu Qinghuan, Lu Qinghuan couldn't help but clapped her hands and praised her.
Lu Bai did this trick beautifully.
The time has not yet been determined, and the price of salt has not yet been determined. This is equivalent to not saying anything. It is a matter of trust. There is nothing to say.
The key is the pre-order offer.
The extra five cents of salt is not even one tael. The admiral, Jin Yiwei, and many other big businessmen would not look down upon the salt gained from such a small discount.
But for those people who are reluctant to put salt in their meals, this is an exciting offer.
In this way, Lu Bai selected his target group—ordinary people and poor people who care about pre-order discounts.
"Those who trust our White Wolf Gang will get a surprise. As for those who don't trust our White Wolf Gang-" Gu Qinghuan smiled slightly.
This will make them trust the White Wolf Gang from now on.
The reputation spread instantly.
Not only that, when all the people with salt in Yancheng release the salt price, the people of Yancheng will feel the conscience of the White Wolf Gang even more.
After Gu Qinghuan praised Lu Bai a lot, he asked Dahei Niu to do what Lu Bai wanted.
