"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, we have similarities in business after all. We plan to purchase land in Qingzhou and engage in salt management.
Industry." Su Shuang laughed and did not hide it. After all, this can be said to be a huge profit, and it is a necessary material in the world. The horses may be unsalable, but the Han Dynasty has never heard of the salt society being unsalable in four hundred years.
Chen Xi murmured secretly, "What do you mean by the similarities between business? You all want to use your skills to deceive others. Even if the salt merchants in other places don't even give up their capital and lower the price with you, you can still make money. This is basically the same as
In this money-grabbing industry, as long as you are not assassinated and your technology is not stolen, it will not be a problem even if you crush the salt industry of the Han Dynasty and form a monopoly in the end.
"I think you also know how much profit there is in this industry, so don't even think about giving it all to you. You don't want to have all your homes confiscated and made into slaves like in the Han Dynasty. The person in charge will be cut in half and abandoned." Chen Xi didn't care.
He said something that would make all businessmen cringe just thinking about it.
"I don't want to." Zhang Shiping said timidly, and then wiped his sweat, "Isn't it true that I have been a businessman all my life just to leave some wealth for future generations? Even if my descendants are unworthy in the future, they will be defeated for one or two more days, which is considered a loss.
My ancestor did his best for them."
Chen Xi raised his eyebrows and looked at Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping. These two guys were not stupid. What was originally a business negotiation would actually involve the family ties of future generations.
"Yeah, it's not easy. How many things people have done today are probably for future generations. Since everyone has the same mind, I won't say more. Let's go into the court and study it in detail." Chen Xi made a look.
The compassionate expression shows that everyone is planning for future generations.
"Chen Juncheng is invited." Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping visibly let out a sigh of relief. With such wealth and honor in front of them, both of them were a little unable to control their own mentality, and it was inevitable that their thoughts would be exposed.
Chen Xi smiled and turned around, and Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang also filed in. For the ancients, it was indeed wealth and wealth, but for Chen Xi, he had no feeling at all. What he was melancholy about now was paper...
Chen Xi yawned and pulled out a roll of white cloth from under a pile of bamboo slips and threw it to Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang. "Before you two came here, I was so bored that I had almost completed the contract. Is there anything you need or is not suitable for?"
Just point out the place and we can discuss it further."
Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping took the white cloth and began to browse it. After reading it roughly, they breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at the titles above, they were not as arrogant as he thought, and they were not as overbearing as official business.
All of them are reasonable.
However, Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping are a little tangled up in the last two or three regulations. One is the division of the salt industry, which is the regulation that stipulates where they can buy it. The other is that all distributors and agents under the jurisdiction need to register. As for the last regulation
, the final right of custody and interpretation of the original regulations lies with Chen Xi, Chen Zichuan, the Prime Minister of Taishan County. Although I don’t quite understand this, isn’t this a matter of course? It was not written out before, but it is still written down, which is very embarrassing.
"Chen Juncheng, we don't understand this second to last item." Su Shuang thought for a long time but still couldn't figure it out, so he pointed to the second to last item and said.
"Oh, this is just to let me know who you sold the salt to, and ask them to sign and fingerprint it, so that I can help if something happens." Chen Xi said casually.
Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping frowned a little. Wouldn't all the details be exposed under the eyes of the officials? If something went wrong, they would easily be blamed.
"Don't worry, I don't want to dictate your ideas. All I want is the internal sales channels of the Han Dynasty. As for you, you can do whatever you want outside the Great Wall. Of course, we have the right of first refusal on the items in exchange, 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 only the first three levels of channels, that is, you sell salt to the big salt merchants in each state, and these salt merchants need to sign. Then the big salt merchants in each state will send the salt to the states and counties, and the salt merchants in the states and counties need to sign.
After that, the salt merchants in the prefectures and counties will distribute it to the counties, and then they will no longer be needed." Chen Xi looked at Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping and said, as soon as these words came out, it was obvious that Su Shuang and the two were relieved a lot, and what they wanted was not themselves.
sales channels, but the channels of resellers.
"As for you who are worried about me taking care of everything, I can turn the salt you sell into official salt. In this way, as long as you don't break the law, no one will touch you. This is my bottom line." When Chen Xi said this, his face became serious.
A lot, just tell me directly, if you don't know each other, I will talk to someone else and kill you two. If this technology is released, a large number of businessmen will still come.
Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping looked at each other and nodded slightly. The current conditions were already very favorable. If they continued to be careless, Chen Xi might be offended because he couldn't eat mutton and would become a coquettish person.
"Okay, let me sign now." Chen Xi said as he saw Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping eager to give it a try.
"Okay." Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping nodded. They each picked up their brushes and signed their names on the white cloth. Then they bit their thumbs and made a fingerprint on the white cloth without using ink pads.
"Okay, I've packed up this original. I'll sign this copy now and stamp it with my fingerprints. You can keep it for yourselves." As he said, Chen Xi took out another piece of white cloth from under a pile of bamboo slips and took out a brush to sign himself.
Name, dipped his thumb in ink pad and pressed a fingerprint on it. As for biting his own finger and connecting his fingers to his heart, Chen Xi would not do such a painful thing.
"Check with each other and put it away if there is any problem." Chen Xi handed over the copy, and asked Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping to check with each other to make sure there was no problem, and then the three of them each put away their own copies.
"Chief Chen, one hundred thousand dans of grain and grass are shipped in two batches. The first batch of 20,000 dans will be sent to Fenggao along the land route within three days. As for the next 80,000 dans, the Zhen family will send them to Qingzhou along the sea road, and then transfer to Qingzhou.
The Yellow River enters Jinan and is transported by land to Taishan County. Please remember to receive it, Governor Chen." Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping, with red faces, held the copy of the contract in their arms and held it in front of Chen Xi.
"Zhen family." Chen Xi nodded, "I think you are probably in a hurry to go to Qingzhou to buy land and prepare for salt production. I wish you both a lot of money here. I don't want you to let it go.
Let me stop you."
"Thanks to the auspicious 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 take over other matters soon." Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping were obviously a little anxious. After getting what they wanted, they saw that
Chen Xi let him go without saying much, hurriedly handed over his hands and left.
