Bianjing City, Xiuyun Tower.
As the largest brothel in western Bianjing City, Xiuyun Tower has always been loved by dignitaries in Bianjing City.
When it comes to having fun in Bianjing, the first thing most people think of is Xiuyun Tower.
This is the face of Xiuyun Tower.
When the Xiongnu invaded the city, the owner of Xiuyun Tower originally thought that his Xiuyun Tower was about to be finished, but he did not expect that the Xiongnu were driven out very quickly.
After these days of renovation, Xiuyun Tower, one of the three largest gold-selling caves in Bianjing, reopened on the second day after the new emperor ascended the throne!
Logically speaking, all entertainment activities are prohibited during the national mourning period, but there are policies from above and countermeasures from below, plus the background of the owner behind Xiuyun Tower.
Fifty percent of the troops on patrol walked around Xiuyun Tower, pretending not to see it.
Xiuyun Tower was filled with guests as soon as it opened. The dignitaries who received the news came to occupy seats one after another, making Xiuyun Tower full of seats.
However, today the third floor of Xiuyun Building was reserved. No matter how dissatisfied the guests who came tonight were, they all stayed on the first and second floors as soon as they heard the name of the person who reserved the place. .
Lu Yuan, the eldest son of the Minister of Rites' family, reserved a banquet on the third floor of Xiuyun Tower, and those who could attend the banquet were undoubtedly people from the officialdom, or the yamen of a high-ranking official in the court.
There are few people in Bianjing City who dare to pretend to be powerful in front of this group of people.
At this time, on the third floor of Xiuyun Tower, people were changing glasses.
It was so lively with the guests coming and going!
Today's banquet was held by Lu Yuan to celebrate making a lot of money!
And this way of making money is none other than reselling the food they stole from the disaster relief warehouse.
All the members at today's banquet participated in helping Lu Yuan resell food, so they were invited here by him.
I saw that the wine had passed three rounds and the food had passed five flavors.
As the organizer of today's banquet, Lu Yuan stood up and clapped his hands. The bustling third floor immediately fell silent. At the same time, everyone's eyes turned to Lu Yuan, who was standing in the center.
Seeing that everyone's attention was attracted, Lu Yuan nodded with satisfaction, then raised the wine glass in his hand and said to everyone:
"Everyone, the reason why we are all able to gather here today is because we are on the same boat as Lu Yuan and I. Since we are on the same boat on the same day, it is natural for everyone to make money together, and everyone has a share in the benefits. .
The reason why we are holding this banquet today is because our first batch of goods has been officially completed! "
Everyone suddenly exclaimed and listened more carefully, because they knew that since Master Lu said these words, he must have told them how much money he had earned.
Everyone is also very curious about this.
Sure enough, Lu Yuan's next words immediately made everyone's eyes turn red!
Just listen to Lu Yuan say: "Thanks to everyone's hard work during this period, we raised a total of 10,000 shi of grain. After selling it to the merchants from the south, we received a total of 100,000 taels of silver!"
Wow!
Everyone was in an uproar immediately!
They knew that it would be profitable for Mr. Lu to do this, but they never expected that the profits would be so terrifying!
Before Bianjing was attacked by the Huns, the price of food in the city had been very stable, at ten coins per pound.
According to this calculation, ten thousand shi of grain would be enough to earn ten thousand taels.
Everyone here who is willing to help Lu Yuan must have benefited from it.
After deducting the benefits they received, they thought Lu Yuan would only earn a little more than themselves.
But according to the price Lu Yuan is talking about now, the price of the food this guy sells is clearly ten times the normal price of food! Ten times!
Have the prices of food in the south actually risen to this level now?
Everyone was puzzled, but they were shocked!
Seeing everyone's shocked reactions, Lu Yuan nodded with satisfaction. This is what he wanted to see.
He immediately saw him and said: "When you were first found by Mr. Lu, you may have thought that it is not worth it to waste so much effort and only make hard money, and to take such a big risk.
But what I want to say is that you don’t understand this.
Nowadays, the south is in chaos and is no better than our north.
The previous civil unrest caused chaos in the four counties in the south. The imperial court sent the imperial army to suppress it. The imperial army had just been suppressed and was transferred back. Now the south is in chaos again.
This has also caused the price of grain in the south to rise steadily. A businessman from the south came to me and told me that I was willing to collect grain at ten times the price, so I was willing to take action.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t be short of a few thousand taels. "
Lu Yuan said proudly, but everyone nodded in agreement.
Also, if he didn't have enough interests, Mr. Lu wouldn't dare to take such a risk!
But what everyone didn't expect was that the benefit was actually ten times as much!
At this moment, everyone's minds became active.
Although we are all participants, we took the risk to get this food from the disaster relief factory. But you, Lu Yuan, ate all the food alone. This is not appropriate.
Even if your father is the Minister of Rites, he cannot eat alone!
Everyone suddenly felt that the money they had received was too little.
This Mr. Lu's eating portrait is a little too ugly.
Seeing the change in their expressions, Lu Yuan didn't know what they were thinking, but he just smiled, and then said to everyone: "I know everyone may think that I, Lu Yuan, am not authentic, eating so much alone, But Lu also wants to ask you to think about it.
When Mr. Lu came to you at the very beginning, he told you that it was 100 yuan per catty. Can you still believe it?
Bianjing is different from the south. Although it suffered a military disaster, the new emperor brought a lot of food to Beijing, so the price of food in Bianjing has not changed much. You may not feel this difference and only think that Lu I'm trying to trick you.
So in order to make everyone believe it, Lu did not tell the actual price.
Originally, Lu could have kept this matter secret from everyone, but in order to show Lu's sincerity, Lu told everyone about the matter.
At the same time, I also want to announce something to you.
Since this matter is on the right track with your support, Lu plans to adopt a commission system!
In other words, every time you get a stone of food from now on, Lu will distribute money to you according to a fixed ratio.
And this ratio is six to four, that is, Lu Mou six to four!
One stone of grain can be sold for ten taels of silver. Lu will get six taels and you guys will get four taels.
Don’t think that Lu took too much. Lu also had to bear the risk. These grains were transported out of the city and traded with others, so Lu naturally had to take the lion’s share.
If everyone agrees, then this business can still be done. If you think Lu is too shady, you can also do it yourself.
However, Lu would like to remind everyone that not everyone can do this kind of business, so don’t end up stealing the chicken but losing the rice. "
Lu Yuan's proposal and final threat were heard clearly by everyone present.
After thinking for a while, they all agreed.
After determining the share ratio, everyone celebrated again, this time in order to make more money in the future.
Lu Yuan watched this scene with satisfaction and secretly calculated in his heart that these fools had no idea that the price of the grain they sold to the south was not one million per catty, but five hundred cents per catty!
The price of food in the south has already increased dozens of times!
Now they only need to give a little bit to themselves and still eat a lot of it.
This is the advantage of having channels and being well-informed. You deserve to make a lot of money!
Lu Yuan was extremely proud!
