Chapter 741: Cooperation methods
Hearing this, Zhang Youcai smiled very proudly and said, "The general is absolutely right. Everyone says that if you mate well, you will be born like me."
Han Xin curled his lips, as if to say that if the child didn't look like his father, the breeding was not done properly.
Zhang Yi said: "General, we are going to find a place to talk about business so directly. Our time is limited."
Hearing this, Han Xin nodded and said, "That's fine. Zhang Youcai, his name is Zhang Yi, and he is my shopkeeper. You should know that they are here to help us manage the farm. Now I will give him full authority over the farm." .
You can come to him if you have any business matters. Now let’s find a place to sit down and talk about mutual cooperation in detail. "
"It all depends on the general."
Then the two of them came to a tent, where there were only Han Xin and no one else. This was also arranged by Meng Yi.
The tent is not big, but it is convenient for them to discuss business.
After Han Xin and others sat down, Zhang Yi asked: "Executive member Zhang, what kind of business do you do?"
"I am in the silk business, and now I want to develop in many aspects, not only silk, but also other fabric businesses, one of which is wool.
As the shopkeeper of Mr. Meng Yi, Shopkeeper Zhang should know that I run the largest textile workshop in Xianyang City.
However, I only own 20% of the shares, 50% of which belong to the Imperial Master and 30% belong to Gongzi Highland.
However, I am currently in charge of this textile workshop. Now the workshop needs a large amount of raw materials, including wool.
In fact, in addition to wool, sheepskin, cowhide, and horsehide are also purchased.
Both cowhide and sheepskin can be used to make clothes, not just clothes, but also bags and shoes.
As for horsehide, although it can also be used to make clothes, the effect is very poor and not as shiny as cowhide and sheepskin, so I advocate only using sheepskin and cowhide.
As for horsehide, I can directly tell you the production method and you can make it yourself. You will not make clothes, only the uppers of boots.
Currently, only garment factories know how to make cowhide and sheepskin. Textile factories don't know yet, but only textile factories know how to process it.
As long as we cooperate, I can give you the method.
As long as we have this method, we can purchase all the sheepskin, cowhide and wool around us.
In addition, I suggest you raise donkeys. Donkey meat and donkey skin are both good things.
Especially donkey skin, which is the raw material for making donkey hide gelatin, which is an excellent medicinal material. It has the effects of replenishing blood and stopping bleeding, especially for women and people with insufficient blood.
By the way, your soldiers often bleed and have insufficient blood, so taking donkey-hide gelatin is very suitable, especially for injured soldiers.
What's more important is that donkey hide gelatin is easy to carry and can be taken out at any time, and it tastes sweet. "
Zhang Youcai said such important news at once, which shocked Han Xin, but he didn't know whether it was true or not.
Especially the last one, donkey hide gelatin actually has the effect of replenishing blood and stopping bleeding. It is the best supplement for soldiers, so they don't have to worry about them bleeding to death.
Coupled with alcohol disinfection, the life safety of injured soldiers can be greatly ensured.
However, Han Xin didn't know whether Zhang Youcai's words were true or false, so he could only look at Zhang Yi.
Zhang Yi looked thoughtful at this time.
After a while, Zhang Yi said, "Zhang Yi, I didn't expect that you would tell us so much important news just after we met. Are you not worried at all that we will go it alone instead of cooperating with you?"
Zhang Youcai smiled and said, "Don't worry, even if you can do it alone, so what. To me, your business is just a small business. I can't buy your stuff, but I can buy other people's."
Even if all of you don't buy from me, I can still find a new seller. Even if I can't find one, I can still raise cattle, sheep and horses myself.
However, one requires a lot of effort from me, especially raising cattle, sheep and horses by myself, which requires me to spend a lot of energy to manage.
If I had the energy, I would rather do it
His business, this way, I make more money. "
"We promised Zhang Yuanwai's cooperation. How will we cooperate? How will the profits be distributed?" Zhang Yi asked.
"Haha..." Zhang Youcai said with a smile: "As expected of the shopkeeper led by Lord Meng Yi, he really hit the key points in every aspect."
"There are two ways of cooperation. One is that I buy shares in you, and I invest the same amount of money as you. I will contribute people and efforts to manage the farm, but I will get 60% of the profit.
Because I contribute my own efforts, the extra 10%, no, to be precise, it is 20%. This is my labor fee, shopkeeper Zhang should know it. "
Zhang Yi nodded and said, "I know, please tell me the second one."
"The second option is easy. I don't care about anything about the farm, and then I sign a purchase contract with you, which means how much wool, sheepskin, cowhide, etc. you give me every year.
We are just a buyer and seller. All business is in the contract. Once the contract time is up, we need to sign the contract again. If there are changes to the content, we can discuss it at that time.
However, one disadvantage of the sales contract is that it can be broken unilaterally, and compensation will be required after the contract is broken.
Secondly, when purchasing wool, sheepskin, and cowhide, the quality must be up to standard. If not, they will be returned.
There are also things like compensation for delayed delivery, etc., which will be written in the contract.
General Han Xin and Shopkeeper Zhang, which method of cooperation do you choose? Zhang Youcai asked, looking at Han Xin and Zhang Yi.
Han Xin frowned slightly. The first option sounded very uneconomical, but he didn’t have any worries.
The second one sounds like they are making a lot of money, but they are in constant trouble. It seems that there are problems with both cooperation methods.
Immediately, Han Xin looked at Zhang Yi.
When Zhang Yi saw Han Xin looking at him, he said: "General, the principle is the first method of cooperation. In this way, everyone just needs to sit and wait to receive the money.
The most important thing is that we have time to manage other businesses, such as the business in Jiuquan County. "
"But we still need to find cooperation with those Xiongnu tribes. Once the two of us have distributed the benefits, how can we find cooperation with them?" Han Xin asked.
"I believe Zhang Yuanwai has a way." Zhang Yi looked at Zhang Youcai with a smile.
Zhang Youcai nodded and said: "There is indeed a way, and that is to purchase the cattle, sheep and horses they raise in the name of the breeding farms we cooperate with.
What we signed with them is a second type of cooperative relationship. Of course, there are two situations. One is for you to collect the money and then sell it to me. The other is for you to collect it in the name of the breeding farm, and then the breeding farm will pay for it, and then I will sell it to you. Go sell it. "
"Is there any difference?" Han Xin asked.
Zhang Yi on the side explained: "General, we will collect it. We will set all the prices, and then we will sell it to Zhang Yuanwai at the price set by him."
"What you mean is that if we charge a low price and sell it to him at a high price, we will make more money. Otherwise, we will lose a lot." Han Xin said.
