"It's like a peach-blossom-flavored, smiling wine. When the shopkeepers came here today, they all asked me for five taels of silver a jar. Ouch, that's too expensive."
Que Ding Tangwu kept looking at Nie Chen as he spoke.
Nie Chen secretly laughed in his heart. He had been obsessed with brothels all day long, drinking and boxing. He was very familiar with the price of wine.
A person like Tao Huaxiang who likes wine would cost five taels of silver a jar in a restaurant, and even ten taels of silver if put in a brothel.
However, Queding Tangwu said that the wine would only cost five taels to be shipped to them. This was a deliberate attempt to lower the price.
"Little brother, how much are you going to charge for this wine?"
"One hundred taels of silver per jar."
Nie Chen said without hesitation.
"What? One hundred taels of silver? What a joke!"
Queding Tangwu glared, his kingly aura revealed.
Nie Chen smiled and said,
"Big Chief, our wine is different from their wine. It takes twenty jars of their wine to brew a jar of hero wine. The cost is really too high. If we didn't know that the Big Chief is a gentleman among the wines, , I will not sell this wine on the grassland.
I sell it directly to the dignitaries in the county and capital. With the strength of my wine, I can easily sell it for two to three hundred taels of silver per jar. There is no shortage of rich people there. "
Hearing this, Queding Tangwu also sighed,
"Yes, you are rich in the Central Plains. The country of Dafeng in the north is the poorest country, and its wealth is piled up like a mountain. Further south, the country of Qi on the land of Qilu, the country of Chu in the water town of Jiangnan, and the country of Sichuan in the land of abundance are also all They are all extremely rich.
Little brother, we barbarians are even poorer than your Feng country. The price of this Haohan wine is still negotiable. "
When Nie Chen heard this, he was very embarrassed and said,
“Big Chief, you also know that these wines are made from raw materials we bought from outside and carefully processed ourselves.
The same raw materials can produce twenty jars of other wines, but only one jar of Haohan wine. The cost is too high. Other wines sell you five taels of silver per jar, but we sell one hundred taels, which seems like a lot. In fact, you earn very little, so you can only take care of the transportation expenses.
Of course, we don't embarrass the big boss, business is not done in a righteous way, so we will sell the wine delivered this time to the big boss at a discount, and we will transport the next wine to the south. "
Nie Chen said this, but transporting it to the south is much more difficult than transporting it to the north.
Although the south is within the territory of Gale Kingdom, there are many princes and bandits everywhere. I am afraid that they will be robbed before they even leave Weihu County. We can't send a large army to escort them every day. How much manpower and material resources will be consumed.
On the contrary, if he sends it to the north and directly cooperates with the Queding clan, then as long as he enters the territory of the Queding clan, the tribes under his jurisdiction will not dare to steal his wine.
Although there are many rich people in the south, there is nothing you can do if you can't transport it. It is better to transport it to the north, where you can directly exchange it for weapons and supplies.
Seeing Nie Chen getting up to leave, Qi Yansong spoke quickly.
"Alas, little brother, stay here. They are poor assholes and can't afford your wine. We, the beggar department, are rich. We can afford it. In the future, your wine can be sent to us. Go, one hundred taels per jar, I won’t bargain!”
Queding Tangwu stared at this, slapped the table and said,
"Qi Yansong, are you deliberately looking for trouble? It's just some wine. Why are you robbing me?"
Qiyan Song sneered and said,
"Quedingtangwu, don't think that I don't know the importance of this wine. It tastes good and is only secondary. The important thing is that it can warm the body. With this wine, in winter, the sons of our tribe will be able to drink less." If many people freeze to death, the tribe's population can be guaranteed.
This is a good thing that is related to the rise and fall of the ethnic group. You don’t want it and you won’t let me have it? And when Wang Ting and the three families in the north know about it, they will definitely rush to buy it.
As long as I master this channel, I can let them buy it for 200 taels of silver, and I will make a lot of money when it is resold! "
In fact, what Qi Yansong said was wrong. This wine was sold at such an expensive price. Those in the tribe who could afford it were high-level people. If you didn’t drink it, you wouldn’t freeze to death. Even those who would freeze to death couldn’t afford this wine.
But Qiyan Song's words opened a door for Queding Tangwu.
Yes, as long as you master this channel, in addition to drinking it yourself, you can also resell it.
None of them had ever thought about killing people and grabbing wine. As Nie Chen said, killing them was simple, just a matter of one knife, and they would never want to drink the hero wine again.
You can still tell the difference between a full meal and a full meal.
Quedingtangwu immediately agreed,
"Little brother, from now on, all your wine will be sent to our Queding family, and the price will be one hundred taels of silver per jar."
Nie Chen's heart moved. The first step was achieved, so the next step was the second step.
He pretends to be wrong,
"Big Chief, I have absolutely no intention of offending you, but you just said that the barbarians are poor. Is it difficult for them to come up with too much gold and silver to buy our bar in the long term?"
When Queding Tangwu heard this, he wasn't angry at all. Instead, he gave him some advice and said,
"Although we barbarians have little money, we have many cattle, sheep and horses. There is inexhaustible grass on the grassland. If we sell it one crop after another, we can exchange it for the cattle, sheep and horses.
There are very few of these things in the south. If you resell them to the south, you can sell cattle, sheep and horses for one hundred taels of silver, at least three hundred taels.
When the time comes, if you buy more raw materials and make more wine, the business will start. "
Hearing this, Nie Chen sighed and said,
"Oh, that's the only way it can be. If it weren't for the great loyalty of the leader and the gentleman who drinks wine, I would never want to do this business."
Nie Chen looked embarrassed on the surface, but he was already happy in his heart.
If he took the initiative to ask for beef tendons, cowhide, and war horses, the other party would definitely doubt his intentions. He just waited for the other party to ask for it, making the other party think that he only wanted these things to make money by reselling them, so as to dispel the other party's doubts.
The boss refused to sell weapons to the barbarians, saying that they were subsidizing the enemy, but the barbarians were not willing to subsidize the enemy.
"Well, look what you said, doing business is all about making friends. From now on, you will be the most distinguished guest of our Queding clan."
That night, the two sides held friendly discussions and reached a mutually beneficial consensus. Nie Chen promised that he would send people to deliver wine in a steady stream in the future. Queding also promised that he would ensure the safety of the caravan and all the materials in exchange would be provided. It's the best and top stuff.
The Queding clan is not afraid of running out of cattle, sheep and horses at all. Firstly, they do have a lot of them. Secondly, they can sell them to other tribes at double the price. Those tribes have no money, so they have to exchange more cattle, sheep and horses. Both parties They are all guaranteed profits.
This kind of business is called business.
