Wu Deli had already thought about it before he came. No matter how extraordinary Yun Chao was, he was still from a mud-legged background. His exposure to the world was limited and he could gnaw on it for a long time if given a bone.
"Master Inspection, according to the rules, the escort fee is one tael of silver per car for a hundred miles. If you can provide a large car and driver, you will be given an additional one tael of silver for each large car!"
Wu Deli spoke with confidence. He had experience. The more confident he was, the more the other party felt that the deal was worth it.
Wu Deli has already investigated clearly. Yunchao has about a hundred trucks.
When Wu Deli thought about it, Yun Chao could earn two hundred taels of silver for one inspection. He would definitely be so excited that he would forget everything, and he might even jump for joy!
No matter how capable you are, after all, you are still a teenager and you can earn two hundred taels at a time. Where can you find such a good deal? Why don't you quickly agree to it with gratitude!
Yun Chao was very happy.
Happy.
The real chicken thief named Wu not only took a fancy to his own strength, but also his luck.
Just now, he had an unlucky attitude, but now when he talks about specific business, his face changes immediately. He is really an old fox.
"Shopkeeper Wu, do you know how much money it costs per year to raise a retired soldier?"
Wu Deli was stunned and asked about transporting food. What are you doing involving soldiers?
Wu Deli really knows this question.
"Sir Inspector, I heard from Wu County Lieutenant before that the annual cost of raising a forbidden army for the imperial court is about twenty or thirty taels. If you include the cost of weapons and armor, it is about forty or fifty taels."
What Wu County Lieutenant said was the cost of raising troops for the imperial court. It did not mean that every soldier could enjoy corresponding treatment. Many expenses only existed in the accounts. It would be good if half of them were actually spent on soldiers.
Moreover, Wu County Lieutenant was talking about the royal court's imperial army. For example, the Xiang army in those places had no choice. The cost of raising a soldier a year was one or twenty taels, which was enough.
The army of the Dawu Dynasty was roughly divided into two parts: the Forbidden Army and the Xiang Army.
The Forbidden Army is the Central Army, a regular army with a certain combat effectiveness.
The Xiang army is the local army. It cannot be said that it has no fighting capacity, but it cannot even defeat the stronger bandits. It usually only maintains local security and helps generals and officials with some chores.
Yun Chao nodded, as he estimated.
"Shopkeeper Wu, to tell you the truth, the cost of raising one of my subordinates is more than the imperial court's raising of one forbidden army. I can't survive without fifty or sixty taels a year. You tell me, I spent such a high price and worked so hard. The subordinates we have trained only charge one tael for escorting a cart of grain. If it were you, what would you do?"
"this……"
Wu Deli was shocked. He didn't expect that the cost of raising Yun Chao's men would be so high.
However, he reacted after a moment.
Yun Er is bragging again. Don’t you think Grandpa Wu knows that the archers in your inspection department only get one stone of grain a month, and only a dozen stones a year, and they are all worthless grains. How much can they spend? silver?
As for the local heroes, there is no cost. If they are happy, they will have a meal. If they are unhappy, let them bring their own food.
If you still can't afford to pay five or sixty taels a year, huh, I think you, Grandpa Wu, are a fool!
Wu Deli believed that Yun Chao's men were just a bunch of local warriors, and the most capable ones were the archers and soldiers of the Inspection Department. The cost of raising these people was not much higher at all.
Although he knew that Yun Chao was bragging, Wu Deli did not intend to expose it. After all, he still asked him to do something.
"Master Inspection, it really can't be any higher. The escort fee of one tael of silver for a hundred miles is already very high. If you don't believe me, you can ask, are there any quotes higher than this in the entire Shandong area?"
Since the man surnamed Wu was not sincere, Yun Chao didn't bother to argue with him anymore: "Shopkeeper Wu, we gentlemen don't talk secretly. You need to listen to my terms first. If possible, we will continue to talk. Otherwise, where will you come from?" No matter where you go, business cannot be done without kindness, and we will still have opportunities to cooperate in the future."
After saying that, Yun Chao didn't wait for Wu Deli to speak, and continued: "I am responsible for transportation and safety, and you provide the purchase channel. Let's cooperate for a win-win situation and make a lot of money together. What do you think?"
Wu Deli heard that Yun Chao wanted to do business with him in partnership.
Yun Er, this kid is really nothing, he is trying to take advantage of the situation!
Forget it, let's just go into partnership. It's not like we haven't partnered with anyone before. We were in partnership with Wu Xianwei before.
Working with Yun Chao, Wu Deli is full of confidence that he will be able to fool Yun Er, a boy with no hair, into making money for him willingly!
"Master Inspector, you are really wise. This is great. If we work together and use our minds together, I believe we will definitely make a fortune!"
At this point, Wu Deli changed his subject. He wanted to tell Yun Chao his conditions first, lest Yun Er, a young and ignorant boy, would open his mouth.
"Master Inspection, according to the rules, with our cooperation method, you can get half of it, and the small one can get 95%! However, for your sake, Mr. Inspection, the small one will suffer some losses, and you can get one If you make it, the younger one will get 90%!”
Wu Deli's chest clapped loudly. It seemed that he was no longer a profiteer, but a righteous hero!
Yun Chao was very happy.
I was happy again.
The person named Wu is already desperate, and he still uses such a disgusting and profiteer's face to deceive himself, which shows that this guy is nothing.
After seeing Wu Deli's true nature, Yun Chao couldn't help but feel his opinion of the Dawu Dynasty merchants dropped by another level.
It seems that the ancients did not like businessmen for no reason, just as Europeans hated Jewish profiteers.
As the saying goes, existence is reasonable. The bad reputation of some groups is absolutely inseparable from their own low quality!
If he didn't want a purchase channel, Yun Chao would have kicked Wu Deli out long ago.
"Shopkeeper Wu, you told me your rules, and I'll tell you mine. If we work together, 19% is fine, but it has to be reversed. You take 10% of the profit, and I take 90%. What do you think? Sample?"
"you……"
Wu Deli almost went berserk. He thought that Yun Chao would beg for nothing to bargain with him, but he never thought that Yun Chao would bargain with him in this way.
You are not a patrol inspector of the imperial court, you are simply worse than a bandit!
The bastard Wu County Lieutenant only got 85%, but you got 90%. Together, you are more ruthless than the damn bastard Wu County Lieutenant!
"Master Inspector, to tell you the truth, Wu County Lieutenant only charges 20%, and you only charge 90% for opening your mouth. This business is impossible to do!"
Yun Chao ignored Wu Deli and waved to his two men: "Send Shopkeeper Wu out."
After finishing speaking, he said to Wu Deli: "Shopkeeper Wu, I still have things to do, so I won't keep you here. It's a pity that the cooperation was not successful. I hope there will be opportunities for cooperation next time."
"Inspection sir, it's just a little rude. Since you still have something to do, I won't bother you. Take my leave!"
Wu Deli did not surrender immediately, but stood up and looked as if he was ready to leave.
Yun, who are you trying to scare? Grandpa doesn’t believe it. You can really make money if you have money!
