Chapter 245: There are middlemen who make the difference
"Brother Hi, let me give you a rough calculation...the cost of this halberd...but..."
When we open a business, brothers have to settle accounts openly.
What's more, it's Yi Xiaotian. He has always been very careful with his calculations and is not ambiguous at all when it comes to business matters.
Yi Xiaotian carefully calculated the steel gun. The price of the steel halberd was indeed not cheap. One steel halberd could buy twenty ordinary war halberds... If it were to be equipped with enough for a hundred-man army,
, I’m afraid it’s worth the price of a luxury home.
The point is, no matter how much you want, you still don’t have it.
One blacksmith shop can produce more than 100 shanks in a day, and it has to take two days off every five days, so it can only produce 2,000 shanks at most every month.
After explaining this clearly, Yi Xiaotian spread his hands, as if he wanted to take it or not.
Anyway, the reputation of this steel gun and steel halberd has already been established. If you don't want it without telling your brother, then naturally there will be a lot of people who want it, so you don't have to worry about sales.
On the other hand, Cao Cao...
Well…
After a quick calculation, Cao Cao felt a little guilty because it was more expensive than he expected.
It's not even a bit expensive. If I really want to buy a large number of these steel weapons, I'm afraid I'll have to spend all the money I've saved over the years.
But...it was Brother Yi who made the money anyway. He and Yi Xiaotian were as close as brothers, and their wealth did not go to outsiders. Thinking this way, Cao Cao was somewhat relieved.
Although, there is still a feeling of being cheated. After all, I feel at ease when I was cheated and I am very happy when I was cheated!
"Brother Yi, don't say anything. I still say the same thing here... Whatever is forged in the blacksmith shop will be kept by me. I will send someone to pick it up myself. As for the deposit, I will pay some first tomorrow and wait for more.
Over time, we will make up for the rest."
Cao Cao stopped writing and placed the order directly.
Yi Xiaotian nodded. "Brother Hao is naturally the most trustworthy... Well, from now on, the blacksmith shop will only forge for Brother Hao!"
I was delighted to receive a big order...
Yi Xiaotian still looked calm, he was used to it.
In fact, he originally thought that no matter what... he would have to sell it to Brother Hao in the end.
As for the promotion of the arena, it is just to raise the price. He understands in his heart that in this three-acre area of the Central Plains, no matter how good the weapons are, it is not suitable to sell them to anyone except Cao Cao, and Brother Hao is exactly the one.
The bridge between him and Cao Cao...
Because of this relationship, Yi Xiaotian really didn't increase the price too much.
How much does it mean that the middleman, Mr. Hao, also makes a profit?
…
The order for the steel magic weapon was finally negotiated, and Cao Cao's expression became a little more disappointed, although he still felt like his heart was bleeding.
But in the end, money has solved a big problem - using less to fight more...
Speaking of which, he had 70,000 men fighting against Yuan Shao's 700,000 men. Even though Cao's army was obviously more powerful than Yuan's army, not everyone could defeat ten of them...
The blessing of magical weapons can not only improve their combat effectiveness, but more importantly, it can give them confidence.
Not to mention them, even Cao Cao now has a lot more confidence in this situation of fighting more with less.
"Brother Yi, what do you think this is?"
After a moment of sadness, Cao Cao seemed to suddenly remember something. He took out two rolls of silk handkerchiefs from his arms and handed them to Yi Xiaotian...
"Is this?" Yi Xiaotian looked puzzled, wondering in his mind, is it possible that Brother Hidden is so poor that he can no longer afford the money? Should he use other items to pay the deposit?
Did I cut his big bundle of leeks a little too frequently recently, going too far? Why does my conscience still feel a little painful?
Just thought of this.
Cao Cao's words came out one after another. "Brother Yi, this is the land deed for the resort ten miles south of Guandu Port. I have changed its name to Youjian Resort for you, and this one is the land deed for Dukang Village... Now, I have purchased them all.
Fan Lai Villa is to fulfill its promise and donate these two villages to Brother Yi."
At this point, Cao Cao didn't wait for Yi Xiaotian's consent and directly forced the land deed into his arms, looking quite grand.
Well…
Yi Xiaotian was inexplicably moved. He is such a great person!
To be honest, Yi Xiaozhen didn't take Guo Jia's bet about the resort to heart.
As for the Dukang Village, it was sent to me by Brother Hao on his own initiative.
This time, it cannot be said that Yi Xiaotian took the initiative to cut the leeks. It was clearly because the leeks had grown ripe and stretched their necks to ask us to cut them.
Seeing Yi Xiaotian's silence, Cao Cao patted him on the shoulder.
"Brother Yi? Why don't you speak anymore..."
Uh... Yi Xiaotian breathed out, what should I say? Say... your big leek must grow more luxuriantly, keep up your efforts, and make further progress?
Thinking of this, Yi Xiaotian shook his head. "Brother Hide... I'm a little embarrassed for what you're doing!"
"Hahahaha..." Cao Cao laughed. In his impression, Yi Xiaotian not only has insight into people's hearts, comments on the current situation, and is smart and wise... he is also a big profiteer...
The so-called profiteers are blinded by money, but now, Cao Cao was embarrassed by this "big profiteer". Cao Cao actually felt an inexplicable sense of pride in his heart. He was very proud... It seemed that he was even more proud than winning the battle.
.
"Haha..." Cao Cao continued to laugh, and he reached out and patted Yi Xiaotian on the shoulder. "Brother Yi, if you are really sorry...just get a few jars of fine wine from the cellar, and let's have a good drink..."
At this point, Cao Cao mentioned it at the right time. "By the way, Cao Cao recently had something to discuss with me. I thought about it for a long time, but I didn't come up with the best solution. I stopped by to ask Yi for advice.
Brother!"
Um...Cao Cao is in trouble again?
Yi Xiaotian blinked his eyes, was stunned for a moment, and then raised his hand. "Brother Hide, let's go to a wine shop and chat while drinking..."
While talking, Yi Xiaotian did not forget to tell the guys in the villa, "Hurry to the wine shop and ask for a few jars of fine cellar wine from Manager Guo. It must be the best. If Brother Guo asks, tell him to hide it."
Brother is here...Hide Brother and give him the entire Dukang Village."
After giving these instructions, Yi Xiaotian, Cao Cao, and Cao Ren looked at each other and smiled, and the three of them walked towards the wine shop together.
…
In a wine shop, in a private room.
Yi Xiaotian took the initiative to fill Cao Cao and Cao Ren with drinks...
After one month, Guo Jia's winemaking process has become more and more refined. Today, the wine has a strong sauce flavor like the "Jiannanchun" from before time travel... It's intoxicating.
Cao Cao and Cao Ren smelled the strong aroma of wine, and they exclaimed, "Good wine, good wine..."
Yi Xiaotian said with a smile. "Brother Hide, let's talk about the matter first! If I don't explain this matter clearly, I will always be thinking about something. Speaking of which, I am also curious, what difficulties did Cao Cao encounter?"
this…
The first time Yi Xiaotian took the initiative to ask...
Is Brother Yi going to take the initiative to help solve the problem this time?
Thinking of this, Cao Cao was happy. It seemed that Brother Yi was really embarrassed because of the resort, because of Dukang Village, and because of the large order for this magical weapon!
This feeling is very good... Cao Cao suddenly had an idea. If possible, he would make Brother Yi feel so embarrassed forever.
Of course, this idea only existed for a moment.
Cao Cao murmured in his heart, how much will this cost?
Thinking of this, Cao Cao shook his head, put aside so many random thoughts, and directly asked the problem.
"Alas...it's not because of Liu Bei's escape."
At this point, Cao Cao's originally good mood seemed to be filled with frustration. He shook his head and continued.
"Brother Yi, you probably already know. Liu Bei actually planned to conquer Xiapi City. He started an uprising in Xuzhou to support Yuan Shao... He wanted to conquer Cao Cao... Now, Cao Cao is faced with an important decision. Should he attack Liu Bei first and pacify the rear?
Or should we directly confront Yuan Shao and leave Liu Bei alone?"
Cao Cao let out a long sigh again.
He continued…
"Cao Cao's counselors have been arguing about this for a long time...Cao Cao has a hard time deciding whether to attack Liu Bei? Or Yuan Shao...how to choose?"
Thinking of this, Cao Cao's eyes widened in vain, and his whole cheek moved closer to Yi Xiaotian, with two big words between his eyebrows - Urgent...
Yi Xiaotian, on the other hand, smacked his lips, and then chanted - "Hide it, brother, don't you hear that the little demon in the temple is very powerful, and there are many bastards in Chi Qian..." Ah...
Cao Cao was startled for a moment, then perked up his ears. He really wanted to know what Brother Yi was going to express next.
