Rebirth of Tang Dynasty as a dad

Du Shaoqing smiled and said: "Did you hear that? I have your name, so you can come along too. You kid, you still have to ask if there is a seat for you at the banquet held at our own house, really"

"That's a different dad, this time I'm the one with the same seat as brother Cui Hao! Don't treat me like a child!

Great, haha, then I can have a good meal. "The little girl jumped up excitedly.

Wu Zhao smiled and said, "You are just a greedy little cat."

Afterwards, Du Shaoqing led the people all the way to his Earl's Mansion, where Sanhu and others had already arranged for a banquet. It is not a small project to entertain more than a hundred people at a time, so Sanhu and others have been busy all morning up.

When I got home, the dishes had just been served. Du Shaoqing smiled and told everyone to sit down and start eating. They must be hungry by this time.

"Mr. Du, everyone is engrossed by your business opportunity, so why would you want to eat with peace of mind?"

Du Shaoqing jokingly said: "This is carefully prepared by my chef. You may not be able to eat food in the best restaurants in Chang'an City. Don't be frugal with me.

Eat first and then discuss, that's because I'm afraid that after talking, everyone will be even less interested in eating.

It's better to fill your stomach first, lest people say that I, Du Shaoqing, didn't entertain well, please come forward, I'm working hard for money, and I don't even have to eat. "

Everyone laughed, and some people were indeed hungry. A few big businessmen with better concentration took the lead, and everyone sat down to eat. Not to mention, very few people could resist the delicious food of Du Shaoqing's family. All the seats were full of praise.

After everyone had finished their meal, they were brought to the prepared yard, where more than 100 people were seated again, with a small tea table and a cup of tea after dinner at hand.

Du Shao asked in a clear voice: "My business opportunity is related to the Silk Road to the west. Before that, who is willing to reveal, how much can you sell for the most expensive silk on the westward business road?"

Chapter 378 Business is moving people's hearts (large chapter update)

For a while, everyone was questioned by Du Shaoqing. With so many shopkeepers present, not all of them went to the Western Regions to sell silk. Many people did not do silk business, and the cost was too high.

And more people don't want to answer because this involves their own commercial secrets. Everyone does business with foreigners in the west, and the price is set by themselves. As long as you can sell it, it is your ability, so generally there is no People will reveal their own pricing. Du Shaoqing's question is inherently problematic.

"Is no one willing to disclose their own business secrets? Shopkeeper Zheng, your Xingyang Zheng's silk tea bricks have been sold all over the world, so there should be a normal price." Du Shao asked after counting Zheng Da's name.

Zheng Da smiled wryly and said: "Silk is also a valuable item in the upper class in our Tang Dynasty. Naturally, it cannot be sold cheaply in foreign countries. In addition to the cost of traveling to the Western Regions, etc., it is generally three or four times higher than the market price in the Tang Dynasty. .”

"Three or four times? God, is it so profitable to sell silk westbound?" Many small traders exclaimed.

Many big merchants smiled disdainfully, and secretly scolded these people for their ignorance, is it three or four times as high?

Du Shaoqing asked again: "Three or four times the cost of raw materials, labor costs, checkpoints along the way, etc., can earn more than double, which is not bad.

Can there be a higher price that can be sold? "

Looking around, someone finally stood up, the shopkeeper of the Li family in Longxi said loudly: "Why do Consort Du have to go around the corner, how much each family sells for is up to each family.

Moreover, three or four times are just ordinary goods. Silk is also divided into three, six, and nine grades. The higher the quality, the rarer and more precious it is in the west, and the selling price is higher. Higher, so no way to compare.

I'm not exaggerating, the highest price I ever sold at the Li family in Longxi was ten times the original price in Datang. I guess even if it's not the highest price, it's about the same. "

This ten times?The audience was silent.

Then a person next to him who was close to the shopkeeper of the Li family in Longxi whispered: "You old boy, such a big advantage is so well hidden, I thought eight times the price of my house was the highest price.

It seems that you are not as dark-hearted as an old bastard. "

"What do you mean I have a dark heart? Doing business with a group of alien races, if you don't be ruthless, I'm afraid there will be no bones left to be eaten by them."

Du Shaoqing clasped his hands and said: "Thank you, shopkeeper Li, for giving me your advice, and the price is ten times higher, it seems that the people in your chamber of commerce are great talents.

That being the case, Du Mou didn't hide it anymore. I, Du's Chamber of Commerce, also took a trip not long ago. It was a little farther away, and the selling price was different from yours.

Our selling price is one tael of gold! "

Wow, it's hard currency to trade in gold.

"One tael of gold? It's only ten taels of silver. The price is ten times that of a piece of low-grade silk. It's not uncommon. If it's high-quality silk, it's not enough to look at." A person with knowledge judged.

Du Shaoqing stretched out a finger and said, "It's not one tael of gold and one bolt of silk, but one tael of gold for one tael of silk!"

嘶

This one

Everyone in the audience gasped!

My God, this, this is too cruel!

The shopkeeper of the Li family in Longxi cursed secretly, "You, Du Shaoqing, are ruthless enough. Isn't this intentionally killing customers at high prices?"

It seems that the rumors about Du Shaoqing's greed for money in Chang'an City are true. This guy is really not particular about it. He seems to specialize in cheating foreigners. It is said that the first one to get into the trap is Goguryeo in the northeast. I don't know which one in the west is the unlucky guy for the silk item.

The shopkeeper had the right idea, but it wasn't accurate enough. It should be said that Du Shaoqing not only cheated rich people from other countries, but he also cheated those inside Datang.

"That, that, I wonder which country the son-in-law sold the silk to in the west? This is such a good thing, can I wait for a share?" Someone asked, seeing someone making money, who would not be envious, and selling silk by weight , I am afraid it is a hundred times the profit.

Even if this kind of business is only done once a year, it may be as good as the usual business for several years. Many small businessmen are jealous, not only them, but also those big businessmen are also looking at Du Shaoqing with envy.

"Of course, the purpose of inviting everyone here today is to share the huge profit of silk hundred times." Du Shao said clearly.

One sentence made everyone's hearts hot, but some people remained calm all the time. The shopkeeper of the Zheng family was puzzled and said, "What is the purpose of the son-in-law doing this? What do we need to pay?

There has never been a pie in the world. "

Yes, everyone seems to have been poured with cold water, and immediately wake up, is there a condition?

Du Shaoqing was stunned for a moment, and then burst out laughing: "Haha, of course there are conditions, but you have already passed the condition. The condition is to contribute to Ping Gaochang. It doesn't matter how much, as long as you have the heart."

Wow, many people cheered and shouted that Concubine Du is righteous, the condition is as simple as that.

The treasurer of the Li family in Longxi was puzzled and said: "But it's not right. If the son-in-law has a grudge against Gao Chang, he should have summoned us before the army went out to fight. At that time, the court didn't need to pay, and we were directly asked to contribute to the military expenses to make up for Gao Chang. That's it?

Now Gaochang would be gone without our money, so why bother? "

Du Shaoqing secretly thought that this person was careful, so he sighed and explained: "Gao Chang is not the enemy of my Du Shaoqing family, he is stuck in the main road of the Western Regions, strangling the necks of all our businessmen every year.

If we let them know that we sell silk at sky-high prices, I am afraid that they will not only need tolls, but will directly monopolize the silk trade going west.

Therefore, the matter of exchanging silk for gold must be raised after the destruction of Gaochang.

Of course, it’s still the same sentence, today’s matter is just an entry test, for businessmen who don’t know how to serve the country first, they are not qualified to share this interest with us. "

Well, after such an explanation, no one has any objections anymore, and they all say that Concubine Du is brilliant.

But many people still don't understand why he is willing to distribute the benefits to others. If the Du Family Chamber of Commerce does it, wouldn't it be guarding a golden mountain?What is Du Shaoqing planning?

This is a matter of personal vision. Although Du Shaoqing is greedy for money, he doesn't love money, and he doesn't make money for the sake of making money.

Taking out this huge benefit can win over the merchants who unite the Tang Dynasty, so that the entire merchant class is no longer a mess. This is the purpose.
