A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

The palace is going to buy gauze.

A notice was posted outside the bank, allowing qualified cloth merchants who could control the supply of goods to participate in the purchase.

After the first round of screening, the remaining ten people were taken to the backyard of the bank.

Tang Ren was there, but with keen intuition, the businessmen found that the man sitting next to him looked more interesting.

The man just sat there reading a book without looking up at all.

Anyone who dares to be so disrespectful in front of Tang Ren must be at least a deputy privy envoy, right?

The businessmen smiled and saluted, looking more cautious.

Zhao Shu put down the book, glanced at the businessmen, and then lowered his head to read.

Tang Ren said: "This time the purchase of gauze in the palace is managed by my bank. You are all famous cloth merchants in the Song Dynasty. I am the one who made the scandal first. Anyone who commits fraud will be severely punished. This will be written in the contract." inside."

"yes."

So the bidding for the Song Dynasty version officially began.

Tang Ren stated the required quantity, and finally said: "Please bid."

A businessman glanced at Zhao Shu and said with a dry smile: "Two pieces of money."

Tang Ren said calmly: "Two dollars is too expensive."

The businessman said: "The tulle purchased from the palace last year was the same price. It's really not expensive."

Tang Ren sneered: "I have been traveling all over the country for many years, but I haven't seen anything? I will buy gauze for my wife before summer... Do you think I am a fool?"

The businessman laughed dryly, and a businessman next to him said: "Always eight hundred coins!"

"Are you treating me as a fool?" Tang Ren was really angry, "For a given amount of money, the most I can get for Mo is more than 800 yuan..."

The third businessman stood up and said, "Judge Tang, a certain person has a record of 700 coins."

This is somewhat sincere.

Tang Ren smiled and said, "It's still expensive."

The businessman smiled bitterly and said: "It takes a lot of money to transport it all the way..."

"Someone has something to say." Tang Ren said: "The usual seven hundred coins is indeed the market price, but how much can those people buy? How much does the palace want to buy this time? Don't you understand the so-called small profits but quick turnover?"

A businessman said: "This statement makes sense. If the number is large, you will naturally earn more. A certain person has always... four hundred coins."

This price reduction is relatively large.

Zhao Shu applauded slightly in his heart, feeling that Tang Ren had a good insight into the confidence of these businessmen.

"This is a good start." Tang Ren said with a smile: "Always four hundred coins... One more thing, when you do the palace business, do you want to do it once, or do you want to do it for a long time?"

"Certainly long-term."

"The palace wants a lot of goods, and the money is easy to pay. Of course we are willing to do the palace's business."

Tang Ren nodded and said: "Whoever bids the lowest will be chosen first in the palace next time."

Tsk! These methods are one after another!

Zhao Shu couldn't help but want to laugh.

After a moment of silence, a businessman gritted his teeth and said, "Judge Tang, we always pay two hundred cents. You should know that this price is not easy. No matter how much it is, you won't be able to make money."

Tang Ren nodded, "This is sincerity. I will remember you."

The businessman's face immediately lit up and he looked very proud of himself.

"So and so..."

He stood up and prepared to accept the honor of winning the bid. Tang Ren pressed his hand and motioned for him to sit down.

"Anything else?"

The price of two hundred yuan is really not easy, so no one thinks there is a better price.

Tang Ren sighed: "Doing business is difficult, really difficult. When purchasing goods, you have to be careful of being cheated, and you have to carefully inspect the goods. In the end, you have to work hard to bring them back to sell them. Selling is not easy, and peers compete with each other, so you have to do your best. To make money...it’s really not easy for a businessman.”

Everyone couldn't help but sigh, feeling that Tang Ren was really their confidant.

"Who is the best in business?"

Tang Ren's question made the businessmen laugh.

"Of course it's Shen Longtu. His business skills are beyond our reach."

"Yes, he made several moves, all of which had never been done before, so he deserved to make money."

"But there are some reasons why Chen Longtu makes money." Tang Ren said with a smile: "For example, as for the sign, he named the store Dark Fragrance, and women's things are the most suitable. Because of the Dark Fragrance, you will feel the fragrance as soon as you hear it. , people yearn for it, so it sells well.

Next is Daliwan. Daliwan doesn’t sound good, right? Many people think that the name of Lengxiang Pill should be chosen, which sounds elegant at first sight. But who is Dali Pill for? People! Can people buy into your elegant name? Won't! "

All the businessmen held their breath and listened carefully to the business secrets from Shen An.

Tang Ren also gradually got into the mood, "When doing business, you have to understand the customer's thoughts and act according to the customer's thoughts. For example, if we sell fabrics and they are used by ordinary people, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if you call them Dali cloth. But Ling What about Luo satin? Can you also call it homespun? Who among those noble people will buy it after hearing this?"

"Okay! Well said!"

"That's right!"

"Those words opened up something, and it turned out to be Shen Longtu."

Tang Ren pressed his hands, "Then what name can we give?"

All the businessmen looked at each other and smiled very reservedly.

If Tang Ren gives a good name, whose name does it belong to?

No one can try to monopolize it!

Tang Ren said calmly: "What would happen if your silk and satin had a royal name?"

All the businessmen became excited, "Can I use this name?"

"Of course." Tang Ren said in a generous tone: "The officials are kind and know that it will not be easy for you to wait. For those who supply the royal family, we will launch this brand for the royal family at our discretion."

"How long will it last?"

"It can be used as long as it is supplied to the royal family. Once it is stopped, the recycling of the signs must also be stopped. Otherwise, if the Imperial City Division takes someone away, don't regret it!"

This is exclusive use rights!

The businessmen's breathing immediately became rapid.

If we talk about tributes, there are really a lot of them, but tribute refers to a certain kind of goods, and the goods are not necessarily the best. It is just that the royal family needs this thing to sell it for money.

The nature of it being reserved for the royal family is different. For royal use, or for exclusive use. Do you think it is good for noble people to use?

The bank came up with a name that was exclusive to the royal family and allowed it to be listed. The temptation was really great.

A businessman raised his hand and said, "Always a hundred cents!"

This is a risk-taking!

Tang Ren praised: "Awesome! Is there anyone else who bids? If not, this is the brand of royal gauze used for the fifth year of Zhiping!"

"etc!"

A businessman was sweating profusely, probably because he was in the middle of a battle between heaven and man.

"Some...someone is consistent!"

Tang Ren praised: "This is not just grandeur, but also loyalty and loyalty!"

"Who else is bidding? Who else?"

Tang Ren's face turned red and he said excitedly: "How many times can a person have a glorious time in his life? What's the use of making more money? When your ancestors ask you underground if you have ever honored your ancestors, you will have nothing to say. But if it is After you get a brand exclusive to the royal family, and when you meet your ancestors, you can say that someone once sold something to the officials... and the officials rewarded them with a certain brand.

Tsk tsk! How happy will the ancestors be after hearing this? "

"Seven hundred coins! I'll do it even at a loss!"

"good!"

Tang Ren slapped his hand on the table, "A great man! Awesome!"

After saying that, the businessman slumped down and gasped: "Xiu has made a lot of money, and people have to apologize for it. When Xiu takes the official sign and hangs it out, let's see who dares to look down on X!"

"Well said!" Tang Ren said affectionately: "People want face, trees want bark, why do people live? Isn't it just for a face? If you take the official brand today, you will be a member of the official family from now on. , who dares to belittle you? I won’t agree, the bank won’t agree, and the officials won’t agree!”

He waved his arms and shouted, and the businessman choked: "It's worth it! It's worth it!"

“Tulle is yours this year!”

Tang Ren turned around and someone sent a wooden sign over.

There are four golden characters written on the wooden sign, "Exclusively for the Royal Family!"

"This is gold dust!"

Tang Ren held the wooden sign in his hands and handed it over, "This is an imperial pen from the official family. You have to watch it carefully. You will have to return it when the time comes."

The merchant's eyes filled with excitement, "Is it actually a royal pen from an official? Someone... took it back, burned three sticks of incense in the morning and evening, and offered wine and meat before meals..."

Why!

Zhao Shu couldn't help but sigh for it.

I'm not dead yet!

But this is how it is among the people. If they want to be grateful to a person, many people like to worship that person. They will ask for instructions and report morning and night, bow and salute, light incense and offer it... During the holidays, they will also make a big pig's head...

The businessman held the wooden sign in his arms and said, "This sign belongs to someone, no one can take it away!"

This is to defend to the death the exclusive privileges of the royal family!

If you lose a little a year, how much will you lose in ten years?

But money can be earned, but face is hard to get back.

And with this sign hanging, his cloth business will gradually become more popular, which is another kind of compensation. It’s the same thing as later generations who spend a lot of money on advertising in the media and watch people’s flesh hurt, but they make a lot of money.

After the merchants left later, Tang Ren turned around and saluted, "Please give me instructions from the officials."

"The market price has always been seven hundred cents. The palace purchased it for almost two cents. Now it only costs seven hundred cents."

Zhao Shu felt that he had witnessed an incredible performance.

"Why?"

Tang Ren said: 'This... the inner reason, I'm afraid only Shen Longtu will know. ’

"Yes, you were taught by him."

Zhao Shu stood up and said, "I'll go right away."

Zhao Shu went out and wandered all the way, and finally went to Yulin Alley.

"Brother! Run faster!"

"Don't rush me!"

Zhang Bianba opened the door, and Zhao Shu stopped Zhuang Laoshi from going to report, and then leisurely watched Shen An fly a kite with Guoguo and taro.

Guoguo is holding the kite, and Shen An is running ahead with the string.

"let go!"

Guoguo let go and the kite flew up.

"Daddy, play with me! Play with me!"

Taro ran over impatiently.

Shen An raised his hand so high that Taro couldn't reach it even as it jumped, so he smiled evilly and encouraged Taro to jump again.

"This guy is really bad."

A guard muttered behind Zhao Shu, and then quickly apologized.

Zhao Shu said: "It's too bad. UU read www.uukanshu.net "

Zhang Baba shook his head and said: "I have never seen any father bully his own children like this."

Shen An over there kept making Taro cry before giving him the thread hammer.

He smiled and wiped away his son's tears, "Don't be stingy in the future. Also, why should you give other people's things to you? Just cry if you don't get it. Is that okay?"

Taro sobbed, "Not good."

Shen An touched the top of his head, "Then remember to ask next time, only if others agree. Don't cry."

"good!"

Taro laughed.

Shen An looked up and saw Zhao Shu.

"If you don't go to work in the court, you just bully the children at home. You are living a happy life!"
