Chapter 742 One million? can you?
"What the general said is absolutely true. This is an opportunity for us, but it is also a trouble. Therefore, I suggest that it is more appropriate to hand it over directly to Zhang Yuanwai.
First of all, Zhang Yuanwai has been based in Xianyang City. He understands the market faster than us. As long as we can get the market price at the first time, we can then purchase wool, sheepskin and cowhide at a lower price than the market.
Second, we can free up our hands to do other things. For the general, the breeding farm is a place to raise funds. In the future, the general’s business will be in the Western Region. Read the book
Thirdly, and most importantly, we don’t have enough manpower to do things like buying wool. "Zhang Yi expressed his thoughts.
"It turns out that General Han Xin wants to march into the Western Region, so our goals are the same. If possible, we can also cooperate." Zhang Youcai said.
"No need, we can make the decision ourselves." Han Xin said.
Zhang Youcai smiled and said: "General Han Xin can tell at a glance that he has never done business. Businessmen have friends and opponents. If the general wants to be a group of lone wolves in the business field, then I'm sorry, you only have two results. One You can never make a fortune, the only way is to lose money and go bankrupt.
If the general doesn't believe it, he can ask shopkeeper Zhang. "
Zhang Yi nodded and said: "Zhang Yuanwai is right. On the battlefield, no matter how powerful a soldier is, he still needs the help of his comrades. The same is true in the business world. No matter how rich we are, we cannot be the opponent of the merchants in the entire Western Region.
We really need partners. After we have partners, if we run out of money, we can borrow from our business partners. If we encounter difficulties, we can also ask our business partners for help.
But all this depends on the reputation of the businessman. A person with a good reputation, just like the emperor's master, as long as he gives an order to invest in Jiuquan County, the businessmen of the entire Xianyang City, no, it should be said that the businessmen of the entire Daqin City will rush to Towards Jiuquan County.
The purpose is to get a piece of the pie in Jiuquan County.
Of course, the credibility of a general cannot be compared with that of an imperial master. "
Han Xin rolled his eyes, can this be compared? The changes in the entire world, including his current position, are all because of the Imperial Master.
It is no exaggeration to say that apart from the First Emperor, the Imperial Master has the highest reputation. As long as the Imperial Master says a word, everyone in the world can follow him.
Zhang Yize continued: "However, if the general's reputation is good, everyone will trust the general, and businessmen will be willing to do business with the general.
Even if the general can't get the money or deliver the goods for a while, everyone will give him a break.
Someone once said that if a businessman has a good reputation, even if he loses everything overnight, he can still make a comeback the next day.
If he has no money, his business partners will lend him money. If he doesn't have a workshop, someone will immediately call him a workshop, and the fees will be paid after the businessman makes money.
Don’t worry if you don’t have workers. You have workers who are owed wages to help you work. Because you have a good reputation, everyone is willing to help you and everyone believes that you will not treat them badly. "
"For those who do business, credibility comes first. Those who break their trust will have no one to help them, but those who keep their trust will have help everywhere.
Mencius once said that those who have gained the right will have many help, while those who have lost the right will have few. This sentence can not only be used in the court and the army, but also in business. "Han Xin said.
"What the general said is true." Zhang Yi said, "General, since Zhang Yuanwai wants to become a business partner with you, then I fully agree with this.
However, General Zhang Yuanwai is not just one person, there are many people following him, and my goal is to make millions of profits every year.
Don't know if you can do it? "
Zhang Youcai was stunned by Zhang Yi's words.
Immediately, Zhang Youcai exclaimed: "Are you crazy? You make one million taels a year. My textile factory can't make one million taels a year. How can you make one million taels?"
"Of course I have my own thoughts. Don't forget, who am I? A person trained by Master Meng Yi, who learned from the Emperor's master."
"I am still Young Master Jianglu's subordinate. Young Master Jianglu is not yet the Emperor's disciple. Don't tell me this.
What do you think of a million a year. Even if you can raise 10,000 cattle, 10,000 cows, and 10,000 horses, have you ever calculated the cost?
Also, can you guarantee that the cattle, sheep, and horses will not get sick during the breeding process? If a plague occurs in one sheep, can you afford to lose these 10,000 sheep? Zhang Youcai asked.
"So, the breeding farm is not my ultimate goal. Although the breeding farm is a good money-making business, the breeding farm is not profitable. The real money is in finished products such as dried meat and milk powder.
I believe Zhang Yuanwai has heard of these two things, and he came to the breeding farm for these two things. "
"Even so, there is no profit of one million."
"There's gotta be two hundred thousand."
Zhang Youcai was silent for a moment and said: "As long as the business is done well, let alone two hundred thousand, I can do five hundred thousand."
"My requirements are not high, only 200,000, and of course there will be more and more in the future." Zhang Yi said, "I will run a brothel, a restaurant, and an inn in Jiuquan County.
Zhang Yuanwai, as a businessman, you should know that once Jiuquan County becomes a trading center, a transit point between the Western Regions and Daqin, Jiuquan County will be very lively.
The brothel will be a gold-selling cave, and there is absolutely no problem in making money every day. Do you agree with this? "
Zhang Youcai nodded and said, "You do have more than I thought, but do you think no one will compete with you for brothels?
Let me tell you, Master Jiang Lu has planned to build three brothels, ten inns, and ten restaurants in Jiuquan County, and that's not all.
Countless houses will also be built, and water conservancy will be repaired for those houses. However, I am responsible for the textile industry, and other people will naturally be responsible for other industries.
You want a piece of the pie, have you thought about the pressure of competition? "
"There is competition pressure, but I believe there are not just three brothels, there may be more, and one of them must be my brothel.
The clearing is not only a place for recreation, but also a place for businessmen to receive guests, and a place for scholars to recite poems and compose poems.
As far as I know, the brothels in Xianyang City are not the best brothels, because the imperial master has not made any good suggestions for brothels.
Even Mr. Jianglu doesn’t pay much attention to the brothel. Therefore, the brothel is our only opportunity to make money, and it is still an opportunity to make a lot of money.
Another point is that women in brothels need to be proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, poetry, and poetry. The most important thing is to be beautiful and good at singing and dancing.
As long as I find a few women with the above qualities as pillars, it will be difficult for my brothel to become popular. "
"That makes sense. But the point is, do you have such a woman?" Zhang Youcai asked.
Han Xin was also a little confused. He looked at Zhang Yi and said, "Why do I feel that you are a little unreliable?"
