The upper limit of 20 Wen/catty set by the Yan Gang and the official family, according to the price of 50 Wen/catty mentioned by Liu Mo, is equivalent to a loss of 30 Wen/catty for the Zhou family just to get the goods.
The order of 8.4 million jins, converted into one year (based on one tael of silver and one thousand taels of silver), is 252,000 taels of silver.
This does not include transportation fees, taxes paid to the government and the salt gang, and other expenses.
A casual estimate shows that in one year, we will lose at least three hundred thousand taels of silver.
Seeing Zhou Lijie's appearance, Liu Mo secretly rejoiced: Do you blame me? Damn you, when things got to this point, you were still thinking about making money.
It really fulfills that saying, shameless people are afraid of ghosts!
"Nephew Liu Xian, isn't this price pushing me, Mr. Zhou, to a dead end?" Zhou Lijie said, "The ten cents per catty that Mr. Zhou just said was a loss!
Nowadays, the official system is not peaceful. If you take into account the money from filial piety along the road and the tax money from the official family... you can't make any money at all. "
Fool, keep fooling!
Buy it for ten cents, sell it for twenty cents, double the profit, you can’t make any money, you’re kidding me!
If you like to talk, then I will accompany you.
Liu Mo smiled and said, "Uncle Shi, I, Liu Mo, am not deliberately making things difficult. If you don't believe it, you can compare my new salt with the 'refined salt' on the market and you will know!"
"Haha, Zhou has heard about Liu Xian's new salt, and it is indeed very similar to the 'refined salt' on the market. It's just..."
"It's nothing, fifty cents per catty, no two prices!" Liu Mo interrupted the other party, "Uncle Shi, if you don't want it, it doesn't matter, business cannot be done without mercy!"
"It's not that I don't want it, nephew, can the price be..."
Liu Mo kept shaking his head, his attitude was so determined.
Zhou Lijie's face was ashen. He didn't expect that he had ended up in this embarrassing situation out of his own subconscious thoughts.
"Auntie!" In desperation, he had no choice but to place his hope on Mrs. Zhou.
"Why are you looking at me? My old lady just stopped by to see my good granddaughter Shiqi. Don't ask me about the business between you grown men!"
After hearing this, Zhou Lijie really felt like crying.
However, the name Shiqi seemed to remind him. Liu Mo was his adopted son-in-law, and Lin Yuan was not present. To be fair, the decision-making power rested with Lin Shiqi, the "head of the family."
Zhou Lijie turned around immediately.
Regardless of the so-called male superiority and female inferiority, and regardless of his status as an uncle, he bowed and said: "Shiqi... look at the price!"
Lin Shiqi was not a "holy bitch". She had vivid memories of Zhou Zhushan's previous hiring of murderers and deception. How could I be fooled by just a few nice words from you?
But she was not stupid, and naturally she would not betray her, but deliberately lowered her voice and said: "My niece, I only know female celebrities, and I know nothing about business matters, let alone the salt road!
In my opinion, it’s better to let my father take the decision on this matter? "
When Liu Mo heard this, he really wanted to step forward and kiss Lin Shiqi hard.
This set of Tai Chi beat the thief six, and he was forced to pass it to Lin Yuan who was not in Rongcheng.
Moreover, Zhou Lijie could not find any point of rebuttal. Lin Shiqi is known as a "good girl". Before meeting Liu Mo, in addition to being obedient, she was also obedient!
She said she couldn't make a decision and wanted to consult Lin Yuan. Isn't this very reasonable?
Then the question comes again. If Lin Yuan can take charge of this, why would Zhou Lijie go to such trouble to carry Mrs. Zhou to Rongcheng to beg Liu Mo?
Zhou Lijie was immediately stunned, "Nephew Liu Xian, my cousin... said that you need to make the decision regarding the new salt!"
"Haha. Although my father-in-law is not smart, he is still very good at business!" Liu Mo thought to himself, "Do you have to do Tai Chi like this and hold your Zhou family in trouble? When the time comes, you won't let us manipulate you?"
Under everyone's gaze, Liu Mo was silent for a moment, and then he said: "Hey, Uncle Shi, we are all from our own family, so I, Liu Mo, will suffer a little loss. How about forty-five cents per kilogram of new salt?"
As soon as these words came out, Zhou Lijie was so angry that his body trembled.
"What? Not suitable? Hey, there really is no way to lower it. If it weren't for my family, the price of fifty cents would not be less than a cent!"
Hearing this, Zhou Zhushan couldn't bear it anymore.
Originally, he was a kid from a rich family who had nothing to lose. Today, he spent a whole day as his grandson in front of his "enemy", and he was very angry. Now Liu Mo was aggressive again, treating his father like a monkey, and a fire of unknown karma rushed straight to his forehead.
"Liu, don't bully others too much!" Zhou Zhushan yelled angrily, "My father has been talking to you nicely for a long time, but you are not only ungrateful, but also so aggressive. Let me tell you, don't think that my Zhou family So easy to bully!”
As he said that, Zhou Zhushan rushed forward and acted as if he was going to hit someone.
"Sir, shut up!" Zhou Lijie grabbed his collar and pulled him aside.
"Dad, why do we ask him?" Zhou Zhushan has lost his mind. "Liu, don't think I don't know. You and He Ruda also have a mission, right? You can't sell the new salt in your hands. Then I won’t be able to eat and walk around!”
"Oh? Mission! Did Brother Zhou hear about the salt tax?" Liu Mo said with a smile, "Not to mention whether the news is reliable, even... this salt tax, hum!"
Can't you just spend the money in installments? Smash it once a month and drag it slowly to see who dies faster!
Are you in a hurry? I really want you to be violent.
Mrs. Zhou was present, and I wanted to give her some face, so I really had to give in to the price.
Now you are making trouble, hehe!
Zhou Lijie understood this very well. In anger, he raised his right hand and slapped Zhou Zhushan hard.
With a sound of "Pa!", a deep five-finger mark suddenly appeared on Zhou Zhushan's face.
"You have no place to speak here! Get out of here!"
"Daddy, I..." This slap woke up Zhou Zhushan.
"Get out!" Zhou Lijie pushed him and drove him out of the room.
"My family is unfortunate, my family is unfortunate!" Then he sighed, "Nephew Liu, although my Zhou family has some wealth, at the price of fifty cents per catty, we will lose more than three hundred thousand taels of silver a year.
If this is really the case, my Zhou family is afraid that our family will be destroyed! "
As he said that, he looked at Mrs. Zhou, "Auntie, Young Master Zhushan has something to do. If there is anything that offends the Lin family, please contact Haihan!"
Three hundred thousand taels of silver, converted into RMB, is at least hundreds of millions.
With the Zhou family's net worth, would they go bankrupt with a loss of hundreds of millions a year? This is a bit exaggerated.
But, at least shed some skin!
Mrs. Zhou sighed and then said: "Mo'er, why don't you look at my old woman's face..."
"Yes, husband, otherwise..."
Ha, since you both have spoken, just stop it when you’re ready!
"Uncle Shi, let's do it for fifteen cents per catty!" Liu Mo replied.
"This..." Zhou Lijie was half happy and half worried when he heard this. "Fine!"
