Prosperous Tang Soul

Chapter 206 Sha Mao's Gift
"Just how?" Shi Chongjun pretended to be ignorant, with some doubts on his face, and then he became curious, and said: "Although Shi has no strengths, he likes to make friends just like you. If you have something, you might as well say it. Can you help me, and how about a reference?"

"How dare you make friends with the young man!" Sha Mao's face immediately exuded an indescribable excitement, and hurriedly said: "Return to the young man, the young man is just like you can see, he is a merchant. Usually, they do some business such as jewelry and pig iron. Of course, pig iron is too strictly controlled by the imperial court and there is no profit, so recently the young ones are thinking about whether to change their careers and do this food business!"

After speaking, Sha Mao's voice became softer, and then he looked at the butler next to him.

The butler naturally understood that there were some things that he was not able to know at the time, so he excused himself to leave immediately.

After the housekeeper left, Sha Maocai continued to say to Shi Chongjun: "It is said that Fengzhou and Quanzhou are rich in products, especially leather goods, and you also know about the locust plague this year. There are victims everywhere. The food is naturally The price is a bit high!"

"Yes, there have been many natural disasters in recent years, and today there is a locust plague. It can be said that it is difficult for the people to make a living!" Shi Chongjun nodded, approved Sha Mao's words, and asked after thinking about it: "But although Fengzhou's products are not bad, However, the local people don’t have much money to buy food, I’m afraid if you really want to sell the food to Fengzhou, you may have miscalculated!”

The geographical location of Fengzhou is actually the northern position of Fujian Province in later generations. As Shi Chongjun said, strictly speaking, this place is also a barren land.The local people are mostly Baiyue people, but they are better than those in Lingnan, but this kind of improvement is very limited. Most of the people here live by hunting and fishing, and even some grow crops. Also very limited.

Such a place can expect people to have spare money to buy food?It's impossible to think about it!
So Shi Chongjun felt that this Sha Mao had the same name as him, a bit silly!
Sha Mao shook his head at the moment, and said with a smile: "Young master is too worried! Naturally, Sha dares to go to Fengzhou to do business, and of course Sha has the idea!"

After speaking, Sha Mao explained: "The price of a good fox fur in Chang'an is usually around five guan. The young man is in Fengzhou, so it should be an explanation for the fur goods in Fengzhou, right? I don't know Fengzhou. How much is such a fox fur worth?"

"One pass! No more than two passes!" Hearing what Sha Mao said, Shi Chongjun immediately realized the problem, and said, "You want to sell the grain on the way, and then use the money you earn to buy it in Fengzhou fur?"

Shi Chongjun was thinking, if this is the case, then it is feasible.

Because of natural disasters, although the common people are generally poor, nobles and wealthy households from all over the country can still spend money to buy food. As long as Sha Mao can sell the food at a high price on the road, then he will have enough food when he arrives in Fengzhou. capital to purchase fur goods.

And because of the poverty of the people in Fengzhou, he can even use the method of lowering the price to buy fur goods in Fengzhou, and then sell these leather goods back to Chang'an. In this way, he has done business three times , which made Shi Chongjun also have to admire.

Of course, Shi Chongjun didn't think it was that simple.

As a merchant who only has money in his eyes, Shi Chongjun felt that the reason why Sha Mao would give him gold and promised many benefits in the future, the purpose should be to hope that historians can support him.

And this so-called support is to help him suppress other merchants in Toyosu and help him lower prices.

Only with this kind of cooperation can Sha Mao give himself gifts at all costs.

"Back to my lord, although your method can also make money, it still hasn't achieved the maximum profit effect!" When it comes to doing business, Sha Mao showed a confident expression on his face, and he cupped his hands at Shi Chongjun and said, "Little His plan is to ship the grain directly to Toyosu without selling it for money, but to directly exchange the grain for leather goods!
You know, today's food is precious!In many places, even if they are rich, they may not be able to buy food!According to my little one, those ordinary people should be able to accept a bucket of grain in exchange for such a piece of fox fur! "

Sha Mao's words were a bit pretentious, but when it stopped in Shi Chongjun's ears, it was like a shocking thunderbolt!

I have never seen such a black-hearted person before!
A bucket of grain, even in Chang'an now, is only three times the price compared to before, and because of the court's porridge, the price has dropped a bit, so the cost is only a few hundred yuan.

But Sha Mao, what the hell wants to exchange a few hundred dollars for fur goods worth a few cents, so what the hell is he not a vampire, not to mention people don't believe it, even ghosts don't believe it.

but
Since Sha Mao's profits are huge, it naturally means that the interests of historians are also huge.

So now Shi Chongjun feels that he should have a good talk with this Sha Mao about the income.

After all, if the historian wants to have a long-term cooperation, the historian cannot do without Sha Mao, and at the same time, Sha Mao will not be able to survive without the historian, so the profit sharing will come to the fore.

Shi Chongjun's face suddenly turned cold, and he looked at Sha Mao seriously and said, "Don't you think that the people of Fengzhou will drive you out of Fengzhou City if you have such a big appetite?"

"Hehe! They won't!" Sha Mao immediately became more respectful. He also knew that it was already a matter of distribution, so he immediately stretched out three fingers and said, "Young Master and Young Master Guarding Fengzhou, although the little one is just a merchant, there is no need to make trouble! In order to thank the Duke and the little duke for their hard work, the little one decided to donate [-]% of the profits as a thank you!"

"It's too hard to talk about, it's just the soldiers of Toyosu"

"That's right, the soldiers are fighting outside, and being able to do business as merchants is really indispensable for their hard work. A small layer is added as a thank you to the soldiers!"

"There are also some local nobles, you go to Fengzhou to do business, these nobles"

Sha Mao gritted his teeth, sweat began to appear on his face, and said: "The little one will pay another [-]%, and I hope the little father-in-law will make this happen!"

Seeing that Sha Mao was about to cry, Shi Chongjun immediately smiled again.

[-]% of the profit, he couldn't even imagine how big an astronomical sum it would be?But he wasn't worried at all about Sha Mao's conspiracy and tricks. In Fengzhou, his historian was the Tu Emperor, if hehe!

Thinking of the huge benefits in the future, Shi Chongjun unconsciously picked up the small box that Sha Mao sent over just now, and started to caress gently!
