"I'm telling the truth, the conditions you put forward by Shopkeeper Zhang are really unacceptable to us..."
Zhao Tianyi looked at the conditions in front of him and felt his head hurt a lot.
Starting from the silver membership, the share has been increased from the ordinary 30% to 70%.
Then it will decrease step by step. If he calculates it this way, the trading bank will have almost no profit.
Although glass is not valuable in the first place, the labor cost of bringing it all the way here is not unusually high.
In addition, if they agreed just like that, Prime Minister Lu would probably think that there is still more room for compression of their profits!
"Mr. Zhao, this was drawn by the Prime Minister himself. If you don't agree, I will actually be in a dilemma. Otherwise, should I ask the Prime Minister to tell you?"
Zhang Yue looked at the ring in his hand expressionlessly, showing no signs of being anxious at all.
Of course, it was impossible for Lu Jia to draw such a condition. After all, under normal circumstances, unless it was sea trade, the profits of normal merchants were generally only about 30%.
After deducting seven or eight deductions for operating costs, the maximum is only about 20% or 15%.
It's almost impossible to get any higher, so the original profit sharing method decided by Lu Jia was just to increase the profit sharing for silver members by 10%, which is only 40%.
It's just that in order to show his ability, Butler Zhang raised the conditions to 70% on his own initiative.
After all, there is such a thing as bargaining, asking for a high price and paying back on the spot.
As long as he bargains to the end and can negotiate even half a percent more than Lu Jia expected, doesn't that show his ability?
"Butler Zhang is wrong!"
Seeing that the negotiation was about to reach a deadlock, Mr. Qin happened to walk in from outside.
"Oh? Who is this?"
Zhang Yue was obviously a little unhappy and looked at Mr. Qin and asked with a frown.
"This is the second-in-command of our firm and Mr. Qin, who is responsible for our senior members!"
Seeing Mr. Qin come in, Zhao Tianyi quickly introduced him with a smile.
"It turns out to be Mr. Qin. What Mr. Qin just said was wrong. I wonder where the difference lies?"
Zhang Yue arched his hands towards Mr. Qin, and then asked with a smile.
"Steward Zhang can serve as a housekeeper in Prime Minister Lu's house, so he must be very capable. I think you must know that fishing with all the swamp is not the behavior of a wise man!"
Mr. Qin smiled and gestured towards Zhao Tianyi, indicating that he could leave, and then said directly.
"Sir, what do you mean, sir, that I'm trying to catch a fish?"
When Zhang Yue looked at Mr. Qin, there was obviously a hint of fear in his eyes.
This is the first time I have seen a businessman who dared to say no to him!
"I think what Prime Minister Lu is interested in is our quick cash-out method. I wonder what Butler Zhang thinks?"
Over the years that Mr. Qin has been with the eldest princess, he has naturally met many dignitaries.
He is just a housekeeper of the prime minister's house, and he doesn't take it seriously.
"What you said makes sense, but you have to know that no one dares to refuse any deal our Prime Minister likes!"
Zhang Yue's words were full of threats.
"Sir, you should have roughly understood that the net profit of an ordinary trading company is only about 20%. Only a long-term business like sea trade can achieve profits of dozens or hundreds of times. To be honest, Our current total profit is actually only about 40%! If we follow your sharing method, and with Mr. Lu’s connections, I’m afraid it will only take half a year at most, and the entire business will be completely bankrupt!”
The Lu family is deeply entangled in the entire Nanyue Kingdom and even the entire Lingnan. Their disciples have old roots, plus the in-laws who have been connected through mutual marriages over the years.
If all these people join this network, it won't take long for them to accumulate seven or eight king members just by relying on their connections.
For seven or eight king members, the rewards alone are tens of millions. If other shares are added, it seems to be a terrifying astronomical figure!
"Half a year? As for that?"
Zhang Yue really didn't think that much.
"Why not? With Mr. Lu's methods, it can take up to half a year, or I even suspect it only takes a month. He is already a supreme member, right? The upgrade reward alone is five million. Ah! If the trading company doesn’t make money, where will the money come from?”
Obviously, Mr. Qin is a master of changing concepts.
With just one sentence, Zhang Yu was taken directly into the ditch.
"If you say that, it seems right..."
If this was a good business firm, it would go bankrupt in just a few months. If the Prime Minister were to take the blame, he, the butler, would really not be able to bear the blame.
"Then tell me, what is the highest share you can accept?"
Zhang Yue finally let go.
After hearing him relent, Mr. Qin's face immediately showed a warm smile.
"The average profit of a commercial bank is 40%, and 40% of the profit is because we don't make a penny! If the prime minister can give up the level rewards, I can make the decision, starting from the silver members, the points will be divided into 40 and 60 points, and then decrease in sequence!"
"How is this possible? If I go back with such conditions, won't the prime minister break my legs?"
That’s five million strings!
How could Zhang Yue give up as soon as he opens his mouth?
You must know that up to now, the annual income of the entire Lu Mansion is less than one million yuan.
That's it, or because the Lu family participates in sea trade on a large scale, they can easily earn five million yuan in a few months. Isn't this more than what they can earn from sea trade?
What's more, if he could become a supreme member, the people below alone would contribute nearly 100,000 yuan to him every month!
Taken together, the total profit is actually not lower than that of sea trade.
Moreover, sea trade involves risks. If this ship sinks on the sea, it will really be a loss of money.
What's more, in addition to hurricanes, huge waves, and reefs, there are also many pirates along the way.
Those barbarians don't care where these ships come from. Things like killing people and stealing goods have happened constantly over the years!
"Then if you come up with a way to get the highest share, you have to let me have an explanation with the Prime Minister, right?"
A smile finally appeared on Mr. Qin's lips. It seemed like the matter was done!
"I think this is good. We can only give half of the membership share, which is 35%. In addition to this, the company's annual net profit will be 10% of the net profit for the Prime Minister!"
When Mr. Qin spoke, he deliberately lowered his voice and leaned into Zhang Yue's ear.
"this……"
