After witnessing this magical scene with their own eyes, Mr. Liu and other merchants were shocked.
"Yinzhou is indeed a crouching tiger, hidden dragon." Liu Ye had to sigh in the end.
"Many wealthy businessmen from Jingguo are rushing to Yinzhou now. There is still one month left for Shange's spring recruitment. By then, it will definitely be lively." A businessman from Jingguo said.
A businessman from the Wei Kingdom also spoke: "There are many in the Wei Kingdom, and it should be spread all over the country now, Yinzhou Shange.
Sigh... It would be much better if there was no war, and it would be much easier for us. I originally planned to transfer to Qu State after the spring recruitment of Shange, but Qu State and Wei State are in conflict, and I dare not go."
Master Liu also sighed helplessly. He was from Qu country, but his business was in other countries.
"The country of Qu is now under siege by Wei Li and Chen Jing. When the country is at war, it is us common people who suffer after all. All my business in other countries has stopped, and now I only dare to go to Yinzhou."
As soon as Li Guohangshang could not help but murmur, "Only Yinzhou is temporarily safe now. Maybe Yinzhou will become our last safe haven."
In the past, when there was peace, merchants from various countries had contacts with each other, especially big merchants, and their transactions were large. Once countries blocked each other or went to war with each other, the impact on them would be huge.
So fundamentally speaking, the last thing the merchants want is to be opposed to each other. Although they are all from different countries at this time, their respective situations are the same, so they can all feel the same and know that it is not easy for everyone.
Qingyu led Liu Ye and others around the place while explaining. The more they saw, the more surprised Liu Ye and others were. This place was not only big, but also very orderly. Even though there were many people, there were not many people.
It's not chaotic, not noisy, and the environment is quite comfortable.
After finishing the tour, Qingyu led everyone to the rest room, then took out a stack of contracts and said to the six of them:
"This time, the quantity is limited, with a maximum of one thousand cans per person. Here is the contract. Take a look. If it suits you, you can sign it first."
Six people stepped forward one after another and each took two copies. The contents were the same and there were no problems, so they signed the deed on the spot.
Then Qingyu took out another stack of contracts and continued: "This one is our long-term contract. You can decide the quantity with me first, but I will charge a 40% deposit and the contract will be for one year.
In addition, seasoning takes time to make, so it can only be traded once every three months, and you must determine the amount each time."
The six people read the contents of the contract carefully and found that it was fair and equitable and had no disadvantages. So everyone signed the contract next to each other.
Finally, Qingyu said again: "Although the bosses must also understand, I still want to remind you that it is best to sell the thousand cans this time, not just to one or two, you sell them
The more restaurants we have, the more reservations we will have from you."
Mr. Liu laughed: "Little girls like to worry, don't worry, we don't understand why."
Qingyu nodded slightly, "Now you can report the number you want to book next time."
The six people fell into silence for a while. Although this seasoning was not widely known in their respective countries, judging from the known reactions, the seasoning was very promising.
What's more, the transactions in other countries are now suspended. The current seasoning transaction is the most likely to become their next big deal, so everyone is considering it seriously and carefully.
Finally, Mr. Liu took the lead and said, "I will order five thousand cans first."
The merchant from Chen State thought about it and found that there were more people in Qu State. Liu Ye had settled on five thousand, so he settled on four thousand, which was about the same. After all, it was the first time and the domestic market had not yet been developed, so it was better to be cautious.
Then other countries also reported their numbers. Everyone thought about the same, so there was not much difference in the numbers. Li Guo 3,000, Jing Guo 4,000, Wei Guo 4,500, Jiang Guo 2,500, totaling 23,000
Can.
After the quantity was determined, the merchants from various countries first transported away the current batch of one thousand cans, six people for six thousand cans, and the silver payment was also settled in person, totaling thirteen thousand two hundred taels.
As for the reserved quantity, each of them also paid a 40% deposit. In the end, Qingyu pocketed a total of 20,240 taels of deposit.
The total income for that day was thirty-three thousand four hundred and forty taels.
But that's not all. The next day, Qingyu and Shi'an came to the dock again, because the Zhang family's caravan took the water route. Fortunately, the Zhang family merchant who made the deal at the beginning also arrived in Yinzhou.
The merchant of the Zhang family was also very happy to see Qingyu and Shi'an again, especially the condiments that Qingyu gave him last time. He had been thinking about them for a long time. When he saw people again at this time, he was just like Liu Ye and the others, asking if they could
How much to decide.
Qingyu still sold him a thousand cans first, and then signed a one-year contract with Jia. As for the planned quantity of the next transaction, because the country of Mu was small, the Zhang family merchants only ordered two thousand cans for the time being.
From the sale of 2,200 taels of gold and the deposit of 1,760 taels, a total of 3,960 taels of silver were received from Zhang's merchants.
Before leaving, Qingyu told the merchants of the Zhang family that the medical pavilion now has more than 10,000 stones of crude medicine. After a month, it will be made into dry medicine, and the medicinal materials can be traded again.
The merchants of the Zhang family were naturally extremely happy. The medicinal materials from the Medical Pavilion were of good quality. The last batch they brought back was sold out with almost no effort, and they also made a lot of money.
Considering that the mountain pavilion would recruit disciples in mid-March, the two agreed to barter on March 20 after the spring recruitment. At this point, some of the tail ends left before were completed.
That evening, Qingyu told his family about the recent harvest.
"At the beginning of the month, I bought 323 houses in Tongyuan for 32,000 taels. These houses can be sold one after another after the spring recruitment of Shange.
In addition, the seasoning factory’s first batch of seasonings and reservations generated revenue of 37,400 taels. The total remaining silver is now 121,400 taels.”
When the people in the room heard this number, they all smiled happily and narrowed their eyes.
Finally, Qingyu talked about the next arrangements, "More than 20,000 cans of this batch of seasoning have been reserved, and there will definitely be more in the future, so now we have to prepare for the opening of the kiln.
But it’s definitely too late to make this batch myself. It’s still up to my brother to buy more than 20,000 jars. I can make the next batch myself.”
Shi'an nodded yes.
"Shopkeeper Ye and Sister Lan can also start preparing for the opening of Juxian Zhai Branch. You are also busy on weekdays, so you can select a few capable people from the waiting room and kitchen to promote them."
Ye Qiu and Xu Lan are also good friends.
Finally, Qingyu looked at Wen Ya, "Senior sister, we have to start preparing. There is still one month left for Shange's spring recruitment. By then, all countries will gather in Yinzhou. This time, we not only have to show Shange's sign, but also
Let’s build Yinzhou’s reputation and momentum. The better Yinzhou develops, the better it will be for us.”
Wen Ya nodded: "I'll go find Cao Shen to discuss this matter."
"As for Dad, March 20th is the medicinal material trading day agreed with the Zhang family merchants. All medicinal materials must be prepared before then."
Zhufeng said, "Don't worry."
Finally, the family discussed the above-mentioned issues again, and then everyone dispersed until there were no more doubts.
