Regarding the booming sales of highland barley wine, Luo Zhang seemed to have already estimated that he had prepared enough goods to cope with the sales, so there was no such thing as being sold out, and some could not be sold out.
After the speech at the auction event, Luo Zhang ignored the matter and left it all to Zhao Tianhu. He went to the box on the second floor of Yanlai Building, where a guest was waiting for him!
When Luo Zhang pushed the door open and entered, the people in the room hurriedly greeted him: "Congratulations to Mr. Luo, congratulations to Mr. Luo, I didn't expect that this highland barley wine can sell so well, thanks to Mr. Luo's wonderful idea! "
Luo Zhang glanced at Lu Dongzan, who came up to him, and naturally knew what he meant!
However, Luo Zhang did not give him a good look. Instead, he walked to the table and sat down with a gloomy look.
Seeing that Luo Zhang was a little unhappy, Lu Dongzan awkwardly sat down next to Luo Zhang!
"Lord Luo, what makes you unhappy? The sales of highland barley wine are so good. Isn't this something we should be happy about?" Lu Dongzan asked in confusion.
Luo Zhang nodded and said: "Yes, the sales are very good, but what does this have to do with you?"
"Uh, Master Luo, what do you mean by this? We have agreed that I will get half of the proceeds after the sale. Do you want to burn the bridge?" Lu Dongzan also changed his expression.
"Crossing the river and burning the bridge? You think too highly of yourself, are you the only one worthy of me crossing the river and burning the bridge?" Luo Zhang sneered.
"What do you mean by what Mr. Luo just said?" Lu Dongzan asked with a frown.
"What do you mean? Master Lu, are you pretending to be confused here? Do you want me to say it out?" Luo Zhang snorted coldly.
"I really don't know what happened. If I have done something to offend Mr. Luo, I hope Mr. Luo will forgive me!" Lu Dongzan said with a smile.
"I don't dare to forgive you. I'm just reminding Mr. Lu that the sale of this highland barley wine has nothing to do with you! You won't get a cent of the profit! Stop your wishful thinking!" Luo Zhang looked at Lu Dongzan and said word by word.
"Why? Aren't you afraid that if I tell this matter and your reputation will be ruined?" Lu Dongzan said without a good face.
"What a ruined reputation! I swear if you tell me, it will be you, Lu Dongzan, who will be ruined, not me, Luo Zhang! Do you believe it or not?" Luo Zhang looked at Lu Dongzan playfully and said!
"What do you mean? Please explain it clearly. Don't play riddles here! I don't want to talk in circles with you anymore!" Lu Dongzan said impatiently.
"Since you don't understand, I'll explain it to you."
"You should remember what we discussed before. You produce the highland barley, and I will brew it into wine and sell it. We will split the proceeds 50-50, right?" Luo Zhang stated.
"Yes, that's what I said before, and we wrote it down in black and white!" Lu Dongzan nodded in approval.
"Okay, since you admit it, has Sir Ignorance Lu brought the contract?" Luo Zhang asked.
"Of course I brought it. Look, it's clearly written in black and white on this piece of paper. I must share half of the profits from the highland barley wine you sell!" Lu Dongzan took out the contract and pointed to the last line.
Luo Zhang sneered and clicked on another line on the contract: "Where's your highland barley? It's clearly written. You produce the highland barley and I'll brew it. The income will be half of yours, but you didn't give me a cart of highland barley. Do you want to share half of the profits with me? All the highland barley used to make highland barley wine was collected at a price dozens of times higher than mine! I haven’t asked you to compensate for my losses yet! Why do you mean the price of highland barley is so high? Why didn’t you Give me a cart of highland barley? Are you trying to get away with nothing? Let me tell you, Lu Dongzan, you have found the wrong person! I, Luo Zhang, am not a soft persimmon, and this is not Tubo. I went to the Tang Dynasty to run wild. What do you think? who are you?"
What Luo Zhang said left Lu Dongzan speechless. What could he say and how could he explain it?
Luo Zhang was right. He didn't even get a load of highland barley. It wasn't that he didn't want to buy it, but that all the big landowners and high priests boycotted him and refused to allow his people to step into their territory to buy highland barley. On the contrary, those The high priest and big landowner collected and transported the highland barley to Chang'an and sold it, making a lot of money. But he, on the other hand, made a lot of money!
Originally, he wanted to talk to Luo Zhang about how to deal with this matter, but when he returned to Chang'an, he heard the news that the sales of highland barley wine were booming. This made Lu Dongzan overjoyed and hurriedly came to find Luo Zhang.
After all, the two of them had signed a contract, and he would get half of the proceeds. He originally fantasized about getting a lot of money, but Luo Zhang's words were like a basin of cold water that poured him over and made him sober.
"Master Luo, you have to listen to my explanation on this matter. There is a reason for everything. It's not that I don't give you highland barley!" Lu Dongzan explained with a bitter face.
"What's there to explain? Because of you, the highland barley shipped from Tubo was sold at a price increase of dozens of times. I haven't settled the account with you yet. Tell me, what's there to explain?" Luo Zhang raked over the matter and asked. Recommended to Lu Dongzan.
"I..." Lu Dongzan opened his mouth. He really didn't know what to say. Could it be that he didn't know who leaked the news and spread it to Tubo, which caused him to not receive the highland barley?
Lu Dongzan had thought that Luo Zhang did it, but what good would it do to Luo Zhang? He didn't see it, so he spent dozens of times the price to buy highland barley!
So he immediately eliminated Luo Zhang as a suspect!
But who is it if it’s not Luo Zhang? This puzzled him and he could only say that if a mute eats Coptis chinensis, he will not be able to express his suffering!
"Okay, Mr. Lu, I'm still very busy. If you haven't eaten, I'll treat you to this meal. If you eat slowly, I won't accompany you!" Luo Zhang said and stood up to leave.
This made Lu Dongzan panic. If Luo Zhang left, wouldn't their business be ruined?
"Master Luo, wait a moment, wait a moment! Everything can be discussed, don't leave in a hurry!" Lu Dongzan stood up hurriedly and said.
Luo Zhang turned to look at Lu Dong and praised: "What is there to talk about? I want highland barley, but you don't have it, so our business will naturally end here!"
"There will be some highland barley. My family is in the process of purchasing it. I think it will be shipped in a few days. Then it can be handed over to you, Mr. Luo!" Lu Dongzan said hurriedly.
"So what? I have mountains of barley piled up in the warehouse now. What's the use of your carts? Don't tell me, you want to give me a few carts of barley and you want to take half of the profits. How can there be such a good thing in this world! If so, would Mr. Lu also introduce it to me? I won't refuse anyone who comes!" Luo Zhang joked.
"This..." Luo Zhang's thoughts were revealed, and Lu Dongzan was also a little embarrassed. However, he was really unwilling to give up such a huge benefit like this!
You know, a bottle of highland barley wine can be sold for ten gold. He knows that Luo Zhang has sold hundreds of bottles, making a profit of at least several thousand gold, or even ten thousand gold. This is hundreds of thousands, millions of taels of silver.
This is just the beginning. The business is so booming, you can think of making a profit of tens of millions of taels.
How much would it cost to give him half? It would be enough for him to strengthen Tubo and his family. How could he give up such benefits?
"Master Luo, is there really no need to talk about this matter?" Lu Dongzan said with a gloomy face.
"What do you want to talk about? If you want to take money from me, don't even think about it. Unless you can get me the same amount of highland barley in my warehouse, I can share half of your income. If not, you can No need to talk!" Luo Zhang waved his hand and said.
"I don't have that much highland barley, so can't I use other methods or things?" Lu Dongzan took a deep breath and suppressed his anger.
Although he wanted to take action here, he also knew that taking action would not solve the problem at all. This was the Tang Dynasty. Even if he killed Luo Zhang, he would not be able to escape and would not get any benefits!
"Other ways and things? Tell me what you can give me? You are so poor in Tubo. Apart from this highland barley, what else can I like? Women? How many days do the women in your place take a bath? Can you follow me in the Tang Dynasty? Than? Money? You want money, there’s no need to talk about it! By the way, you still have Tibetan warriors, but those you can control? They all belong to Songtsen Gampo, the major landowners, and the major priests! You I can't get anything out, I just want to ask you for something, but you don't have it either!" Luo Zhang spread his hands and said helplessly.
What Luo Zhang said made Lu Dongzan blush. Anyone who is told how backward or bad their country is will feel ashamed and angry, but what Luo Zhang said is the truth and he has no way to refute it!
Is that the end of it?
