Reborn in the Three Kingdoms, I stole Liu Bei's uncle

Listening to the two people talking about the Zhen family, Zhang Fei became a little anxious.

What's going on? Isn't he just a businessman? How powerful can he be to make Liu Huangshu so cautious?

Colluding with Yuan Benchu? So what?

As he listened to the two people talking, it was different from what he thought, so Zhang Fei couldn't help but speak up.

"Uncle, don't worry. Just give me 20,000 elite soldiers, and I can capture not only the Zhen family but also Yuan Benchu ​​for you."

Looking at Zhang Fei's flushed face, Liu Yu knew that he had drunk a little too much, otherwise he would not have been so confident in boasting.

If he could capture Yuan Benchu ​​with 20,000 elite soldiers, why would Liu Yu be so cautious?

Now that he is very powerful, no one in the world can match him. The reason why he is in a hurry to attack Yuzhou is because he sees that he is deeply involved in the war in Youzhou and cannot free up his hands for the time being.

The same principle applies to dealing with the Zhen family. Through business warfare, it is legitimate to weaken Yuan Benchu's strength.

"Third brother, don't talk nonsense." Before Liu Yu could speak, Liu Bei raised his objection to Zhang Fei's words.

Zhang Fei drank another glass of wine, full of fighting spirit and confidence. He had seen Yuan Benchu ​​in the allied tent when the princes met.

Yuan Benchu ​​looked down on him because of his status as an archer. If it weren't for Uncle Liu's intervention, he and his second brother would have never had the chance to shine.

Short-sighted, unable to recognize heroes of the world, this is Zhang Fei's evaluation of Yuan Benchu. For such a short-sighted person, what is there to be afraid of, no matter how many troops he has?

Although he was secretly complaining in his heart, since Liu Bei had already said it, he did not dare to say anything else. He could only wait quietly for the two to talk.

Zhang Fei was becoming more and more confused. Weren't they discussing how to deal with the Zhen family?

How did they end up talking about business models? Warehousing? Distribution? Online payment? Offline delivery? These terms were new to Zhang Fei.

Where did Uncle Liu hear these theories? I have never heard of them before.

Before following Liu Bei in the uprising against the Yellow Turbans, Zhang Fei also had a considerable business. Later, after joining the army, he forgot all about those years.

According to Zhang Fei's understanding, no matter what kind of business theory Liu Bei talked about, he should be able to understand it.

But the truth was beyond his expectation. He couldn't understand it, he couldn't understand it at all.

Just when he was feeling a little depressed, he saw Mi Zhu also had a frown on his face.

Obviously, Mi Zhu also had only a superficial understanding.

Zhang Fei was somewhat happy. It was not because he had problems with his comprehension, but because there was something wrong with Uncle Liu's story.

Mi Zhu heard ambiguity and did not understand many of the principles, but he vaguely felt that this model, once mature, would inevitably subvert the traditional business model.

You can buy all the necessary supplies at home without leaving your home. This business model is very important for shoppers.

"I didn't expect that the lord has such a unique view on the way of business. I really admire him very much."

"If we apply this model to Jizhou first, can we catch the Zhen family off guard?"

"The confrontation with the Zhen family can achieve certain results in a short period of time, but once it is implemented, it will be quickly imitated by the Zhen family. If you want to defeat the Zhen family by this, I am afraid it will not be easy."

Liu Yu nodded. Mi Zhu was right. This model of relying on manpower accumulation would be easy to replicate in the Zhen family. If they wanted to defeat him, they would need to work on their core competitiveness.

Mi Zhu saw Liu Yu's anxious attitude and began to ask questions about the production, storage, and cost of refined salt.

After Liu Yu finished saying this, Mi Zhu already had the answer in his mind.

"My Lord, based on the current cost and storage of refined salt, we can dump it in Jizhou. Although we cannot defeat the Zhen family, it will be enough to make them exhausted."

After saying that, he told Liu Yu his thoughts in detail.

After hearing this, Liu Yu praised it again and again.

"Zi Zhong, you should take charge of this matter."

Mi Zhu bowed and accepted the order.

……

……

In a very short period of time, the sales of refined salt, which had been silent for many days, reappeared in the Jizhou market.

This incident also caused quite a stir in the Zhen family.

Since Zhen Yi's death, the Zhen family has been temporarily managed by Mrs. Zhen Yi.

When Mrs. Zhen heard the servant's report, a look of caution appeared on her face.

Under its own suppression, the refined salt business has completely disappeared in Jizhou.

How could he suddenly appear after being silent for such a long time?

After asking about the price of refined salt, Mrs. Zhen showed a trace of solemnity on her face. The price this time was 20% cheaper than the previous sale of refined salt.

This made Mrs. Zhen a little confused. She vaguely felt that the appearance of refined salt this time was related to her ban on them.

The Zhen family has invested a lot of manpower in the production of refined salt, and countless craftsmen have invested a lot of manpower, but it still has not been developed. This makes the Zhen family very distressed.

The Zhen family knew that as long as they did not master this technology, they would be passive in the refined salt business.

They were shocked by the technology of refined salt and sent many people to Luoyang City to spy on the method of making refined salt, but the result disappointed them.

Liu Yu's defense of refined salt technology was no less strict than his defense of the imperial palace. After trying countless times, they found that there was no chance at all and had to return empty-handed.

The speed of Liu Bei's rise made Yuan Benchu ​​alert, and the Zhen family, who were Yuan Benchu's right-hand men, also felt this atmosphere.

Therefore, when it comes to Liu Huangshu's refined salt business, they are willing to use their strong strength and background to make Liu Huangshu suffer a setback.

Only in this way can we achieve the ultimate victory in future confrontations.

Based on the above reasons, refined salt reappeared in Jizhou, and the Zhen family had to take action.

The Zhen family began to sell the refined salt they had purchased many days ago at a lower price.

As the Zhen family lowered their prices, the newly introduced refined salt also began to drop in price.

In the future, no matter how much the Zhen family lowers the price, the other party will always be lower than the Zhen family.

In this situation, the Zhen family has fully understood that Uncle Liu is going to fight back.

The Zhen family was not panicking. Although Uncle Liu was extremely wise, this was Jizhou after all. Jizhou's profound foundation was enough for them to deal with Uncle Liu's attack.

Don't forget that behind the Zhen family stands the Yuan family, which has three generations of officials. No matter how outstanding Uncle Liu is, it cannot change the fact that the Yuan family is the most powerful family in the world today.

Yuan Benchu ​​occupied three states and had a clear advantage in the war with Gongsun Bogui.

At this time, Gongsun Bogui had retreated to Youzhou, and was fighting against three states with only one state.

If he had not launched surprising attacks repeatedly during this period, making Yuan Benchu ​​wary, Youzhou would probably have fallen into the hands of the Yuan family by now.

The Yuan family has another force, that is Yuan Gonglu. Although he was defeated in the war in Yuzhou, he still occupied Runan County.

Runan is the base of the Yuan family. Although Liu Bei can easily capture other areas of Yuzhou, it would be very difficult for him to capture Runan.
