Lingbo Lake is a freshwater lake outside the Xia capital. Because of its picturesque scenery, the royal family built a pavilion here very early for people to play and relax.
Tang Yang was sitting in the pavilion, feeling quite comfortable being blown by the breeze mixed with the fragrance of lotus leaves.
Not long!
Dozens of fires appeared on the shore two to three hundred meters away from the pavilion.
"Young Master, they are here!" Cao He reported hurriedly. When he was away from home, his name for Tang Yang naturally changed.
"Call Rong Sheng over."
Tang Yang put down the tea cup in his hand.
"Here!"
After Cao He ran to negotiate, a middle-aged fat man wearing silk satin followed Cao He closely.
After getting closer, Tang Yang used the weak light of the lantern to see clearly the person's appearance.
Completely different from the profiteer he imagined, this man actually looked honest and honest. If he were twenty years younger, people would probably think of him as the silly son of a landlord at first glance.
Really and astute businessmen can't imagine going together.
Perhaps it was because of his appearance that Su Xinting trusted him even more.
However, as the first person in Xia Capital who could see the value of fairy wine, this person was definitely an extremely shrewd businessman.
When he saw Tang Yang, he looked a little reserved: "I have been promoted, do you know your surname?"
"Give you a chance and make a guess." Tang Yang tried.
"I dare not say it," Rong Sheng replied.
"Why don't you dare to speak?"
"Your Excellency is able to sell fairy wine from the palace. Your status is absolutely extraordinary. I, Rongsheng, am just a businessman. I only want to do business and am not interested in your identity." Rongsheng said cautiously.
"Very good! I like to deal with people like you who only focus on doing business." Tang Yang was very satisfied.
"So you are willing to cooperate with Rong for a long time and sell fairy wine?" Rong Sheng's seemingly honest face finally showed a look of expectation.
"No, I came to see Boss Rong tonight not because I want to do fairy wine business with you, but because I need you to do something for me." Tang Yang swung the folding fan in his hand and approached Rong Sheng.
"Young master has an extraordinary status, but there is still something that needs to be done by a common man like Rong? I wonder what it is?" Rong Sheng also became interested.
"According to the internal information I have received, the emperor is financially strapped and is planning to sell the royal private land on the seaside. I want to buy it, but I am a relative of the emperor and cannot purchase it!
Therefore, I hope that Boss Rong will buy it for me, and as a reward, I will give you twenty jars of fairy wine. " Tang Yang replied.
"Twenty jars of fairy wine? Currently, one jar of fairy wine has been sold for 8,000 taels of silver on the black market. Twenty jars of fairy wine is equivalent to 160,000 taels. Young master is such a generous hand!"
Even Rong Sheng was shocked: "According to Rong's knowledge, although the royal family's private land is long and narrow, it is full of rocks and cannot be used to refine salt. Rong is curious as to why the young master bought it?"
"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask. All you need to know is that there are only advantages and no disadvantages in serving our young master!" Cao He snorted.
Rong Sheng also realized that he shouldn't ask, and bowed immediately: "Rong made a mistake."
"It's normal for you to have this question. However, you'd better not ask if you shouldn't ask, and don't inquire. The twenty jars of fairy wine just promised to you will not be given to you all at once, but will be given to you first. Of the eight jars of immortal wine, the remaining twelve jars will be given to you on the first day of every month. I wonder if you are willing to cooperate with me?" Tang Yang asked straightforwardly.
"You can get twenty jars of fairy wine without any cost by purchasing on behalf of your name, and earn hundreds of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, of taels. With such a profit, how could Rong not agree?" Rong Sheng laughed.
"Very good!" Tang Yang nodded, then he changed the topic and said with ice-like eyes: "However, I still need to remind you of some things. Only a few of us know about this transaction between us. Otherwise...you can think about the consequences yourself!"
"Don't worry, young master, Rong will definitely keep this matter secret!" Rong Sheng said hurriedly.
"very good!"
Tang Yang ordered: "Wait for the emperor to order the sale of the royal seaside private land, then go and buy it. No matter how much the other party offers, you must take it. Cao He will give you all the money you need. As for the fairy wine, it will appear at the house tomorrow!" "
As soon as this statement came out!
Rongsheng realized the strong threat. He was not a fool. He knew that Tang Yang was demonstrating to him. If the fairy wine could appear directly in his house, then he would leak the matter in the future, and Tang Yang's men would Will also appear in his house.
However, Rong Sheng remained calm and still had a smile on his face: "Okay, everything will be as ordered by the young master."
"Okay, you can go back!"
Tang Yang waved his hand.
"Then Rong will resign."
Rong Sheng bowed and left the place directly.
Seeing Tang Yang and Rong Sheng end their conversation so quickly, Cao He scratched his head.
"Cao He, do you think my chat with him was too short?" Tang Yang glanced at Cao He.
Cao He didn't dare to say.
"But it doesn't matter."
"Your Majesty, why don't you tell him your identity directly? Wouldn't it be more intimidating? Why did you give him so much fairy wine? It was too much." Cao He was puzzled. road.
"Even if I don't tell you, Rongsheng will definitely be able to guess my identity!
After all, who in the world besides me can give him twenty jars of fairy wine?
If this window paper is torn, do you think he would still dare to accept my things?
He is a businessman, not an official. What he needs is profit, not trying to flatter me to get an official position.
Without giving him benefits, if only the imperial power suppresses me, he will never serve me wholeheartedly.
After all, the Dugu Party in the Xia Kingdom is more powerful than me. If we push him hard, he might even defect to the Dugu Party, and then all my plans will be messed up.
As for the fairy wine, although I can also exchange it for silver, but to make this thing more valuable, not only do I need to be behind it, but I also need the tacit cooperation of their merchants.
Giving him the fairy wine seems like he made a profit, but in fact he can also invisibly increase the price of the wine during the sale process. Selling fairy wine is a long-term business, and it needs to be maintained together to continue selling. High price!
Giving him Ba Tan first is to let him see the benefits first, and giving him subsequent installments is to stabilize him and let him know that he can only keep thinking of ways to increase the price of fairy wine, keep my secrets, and serve me wholeheartedly. Only in this way can you continuously obtain benefits. " Tang Yang explained.
In fact, what he did was of the same nature as the Chinese property market.
The properties built by those developers were purchased by many real estate speculators. After a year or two, the prices skyrocketed and the developers made more money.
But why didn't the developers stop this from happening?
What they want is that after the real estate speculators make money, they can vigorously publicize it so that more people can participate.
Tang Yang seemed to be giving Rong Sheng benefits, but in fact he just wanted to use him as a tool to hype up the fairy wine!
"do you understand?"
Cao He nodded as if he understood: "Your Majesty, I understand!"
"That time."
Tang Yang yawned, stretched and went back to the palace. The matter of promotion had been settled, so what he needed to do next was to wait for him to buy the private land of the royal family by the sea. Go to the seaside and start making salt, then use the salt to leverage the world's wealth and give his enemies a great surprise.
When he returned to the palace, it was already Haishi. Tang Yang thought it was time to go to bed, but eunuch Cao Bao came hurriedly: "Your Majesty, the Prime Minister and Guang Ling have been asking to see you in the imperial study for a long time."
What are the two of them doing so late at night?
