Chapter One Hundred and Sixty-Three: Pulling Chengliang into the Water
Li Min couldn't help but said with black lines on his head: "If I want to make money, I can't sell it myself? Get out!"
Cheng Chuliang immediately took Li Min's hand and said pitifully: "Your Highness, all my dividends from Zhonghua Commercial Bank were confiscated by the old man. He also said that he would save money to marry me a wife! I was puzzled.
Now, if I can’t make money, why won’t the old man marry me a wife?”
"Now my dividend has been confiscated by the old guy. The little pocket money I have in January is not enough to spend. I can't spend Yan Qun's money every time, right? I am also a big man, right? Your Highness, please help me.
Let me do it! How about I help you with the gift the day after tomorrow?"
Um?
This guy, Yuchi Baoqi and Chen Yanqun are really in love. They spend the whole day together, as if they are the same person.
But, what did this guy mean by the gift he mentioned at the end?
Li Min couldn't help but asked in confusion: "What kind of gift is it the day after tomorrow? Can you please tell me how to use it?"
Cheng Chuliang chuckled and said: "Your Highness, the day after tomorrow is the wedding day of Princess Xiangcheng. She is your imperial sister. You can't give her a gift without giving her a gift, right?"
oh!
After being reminded by Cheng Chuliang, Li Min remembered it.
Yes, such a thing does exist.
Princess Xiangcheng is the eldest princess of her father and their eldest sister.
However, because he was not born to Empress Changsun, he was not so favored.
And the person she married was Xiao Yu's eldest son, Xiao Rui.
When the emperor's sister got married, he, the emperor's younger brother, who had already come out to open a mansion, naturally had to prepare a congratulatory gift.
Thinking of this, Li Min smiled slightly and said to Cheng Chuliang: "Chu Liang, just help me prepare the gift. Don't even think about the fan business. Things are rare and valuable. If Miss Ouyang draws too many,
It’s not worth anything anymore.”
"I have a more profitable business here, do you want to do it?"
Um?
Upon hearing Li Min's words, Cheng Chuliang and others' eyes lit up.
They know His Highness' abilities very well.
Every business he does is profitable.
As long as you follow His Highness, you will definitely have soup to drink and meat to eat.
Thinking of this, Cheng Chuliang quickly said with bright eyes: "Okay, okay, Your Highness, please tell me what kind of business it is?"
Li Min smiled slightly and said: "In a few days, His Highness will build a paper mill, and then the paper I produce will be handed over to you for sale. What do you think?"
When he heard that it was a paper business, Cheng Chuliang couldn't help but yawned, looking uninterested.
The paper business is mainly in the hands of Qi Wang, the fifth surname. Well, to be more specific, it is in the hands of the Cui family of Qinghe.
The Cui family in Qinghe is a giant, so if they just want to grab business from the Cui family in Qinghe, they are thinking too much.
Moreover, there is another more important reason. Cheng Chuliang's mother is from the Cui family of Qinghe.
Therefore, Cheng Chuliang couldn't help but said weakly: "Your Highness, do you want me to compete with my uncle's family for business?"
By the way, if Cheng Chuliang hadn't said it, Li Min really wouldn't have thought of this.
So, Li Min could only say regretfully: "It seems that you can't participate in this business. I can only leave it to Baoqi and Huaiyu. By the way, where is the paper I produced?
Not only is it as white as snow but as thin and tough as snow, but the price is only one-tenth of their price!”
Buzz!
Cheng Chuliang, who was not far away, couldn't hear anything else clearly but only one tenth.
The quality is good, and the price is only one-tenth of the current paper! Ten times the profit, this is definitely a huge profit!
So, Cheng Chuliang immediately said with a shy smile: "Your Highness, count me in, count me in!"
Li Min couldn't help but look at Cheng Chuliang with a half-smile, and asked jokingly: "Why, can't you compete with your uncle's family for business?"
Cheng Chuliang slapped his chest and said righteously: "Your Highness, we have a life-long friendship! I have decided your Highness's affairs! Let alone my uncle's house, even if it is my biological father, it won't work!"
Li Min couldn't help but look at Cheng Chuliang's despicable look with disdain on his face, and didn't bother to talk to him.
Li Min continued: "However, although I can give it to you at one-tenth of the price, the price you sell it for is at most one-fifth of the normal price of paper."
Cheng Chuliang couldn't help but asked in shock: "Your Highness, why is this? In this way, we will not make money?"
Li Min smiled slightly and said: "Think about it, most of the paper and bookstore business is in the hands of the Cui family of Qinghe. Once our paper comes out, it will definitely affect the Cui family's interests. By then, the Cui family will
Are you going to sit back and do nothing?"
"And Cui's method is nothing more than a price war! When the time comes, if Cui's price of paper is very low, what should we do? Should we follow them and lower the price again and again?"
"In this way, we will be passive and it will not be conducive to the promotion of our paper. In this case, we simply set the price of paper to one-fifth of theirs! In this way, even if their paper is given away for free, because
Because of the quality, we don’t have to worry about customers buying our paper.”
After hearing Li Min's words, these people couldn't help but nodded thoughtfully.
But in fact, Li Min's intention was much more than that.
If he wanted to make money, he actually didn't need to find Cheng Chuliang or the others. He could even directly approach Cui for cooperation.
As long as he can produce the finished paper, as long as Cui is smart enough, he will definitely reach some kind of agreement with him.
The paper produced by Li Min can be sold at a high price and take a high-end route. In this case, it will not have a big impact on Cui's business.
Alternatively, the paper produced by Li Min can be handed over directly to the Cui family. The Cui family has their channels and will definitely be able to maximize profits.
But Li Min did not do this, and instead decided to set the price at one-fifth of ordinary paper.
At this price, if Cui followed suit, they would lose a lot of money.
Moreover, the quality of Li Min's paper is better than theirs. If there is a price war, they will have to use a lower price.
But if it drops any further, it will basically be like giving it away for free.
Even Mr. Cui probably wouldn't dare to set such a low price.
At one-fifth the price, it's almost Cui's seven inches.
Of course, these are only sales within Chang'an City.
Outside Chang'an City, these companies also have some channels, but they cannot cover the entire Tang Dynasty.
Therefore, in addition to preparing to cooperate with them, Li Min was also prepared to cooperate with the warrior Xun.
In addition to the five surnames and Qi Wang, the Wu family's business can be regarded as one of the few business families in the entire Tang Dynasty.
While attacking the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes, Li Min cannot fight alone and must recruit a group of forces.
