Datang New Giants

Chapter 206
After reaching a preliminary agreement, Lu Ting and Sun Shiyong leisurely sipped the newly brewed chivalrous wine and ate snacks, and left the specific bargaining to the people below.

Friendship is still friendship. When it comes to the price, both parties are very serious, and they have not reached a consensus after talking for a long time.

The representative of Wuyitang is Lao Gao.

Lao Gao is Lu Ting's housekeeper, and Lu Ting entrusts him with many things in Wuyitang. He knows many secrets of Wuyitang, including wine making. It needs to be replaced with seventeen buckets of grain.

It was Sun Shiyong's second housekeeper, Sun Er, who was negotiating with Lao Gao. He hoped that the ratio would be one to ten, and the gap between the two sides was huge.

Such a big divergence is mainly due to food prices.

Lu Ting agreed to sell it to the Chang'an Brothel Guild at the market price, and initially set the price at five hundred yuan per bucket. Lao Gao and Sun Er had no objection. The difference was the price of grain. The second is to convert according to the grain price in Chang'an. The reason is that the grain is transported to Chang'an.

Sun Er said helplessly: "Guys, Chang'an has never been rich in food. Now the price of rice is [-] cents a bucket of rice. A large number of purchases will also raise the price of food. Xiajiu is also brewed in Chang'an. This price is really not good."

"That's wrong." Lao Gao said calmly: "Fifty renminbi is just a special case. Chang'an is the capital city. The imperial court will not allow the price of grain to rise. If the price is high, it will adjust grain from other places to stabilize it. The price at which it was sold to ordinary people in the market, given the connections of Huishou Sun, he would not buy it from the rice shop like the ordinary people in the market."

After a pause, Lao Gao continued: "Furthermore, the cost and price of good wine is also clear to Mr. Sun. We can't make us go through so much trouble, and we can only drink leftover soup in the end."

"Twelve buckets, the water will flow for a long time, and it will last forever." Sun Er gritted his teeth and quoted the new price.

"At least sixteen buckets. If Steward Sun thinks it's expensive, you can go back and discuss it again. There are too many dignitaries who want to buy wine now, and the output can't keep up. I really don't have to worry."

Sun Er:.
The two chatted for a long time, but the price has not yet been negotiated, and finally Lu Ting and Sun Shiyong have to make a decision.

Sun Shiyong glared at Sun Er deliberately, and scolded loudly: "I don't know what kind of friendship Master Lu has with this old man, how can he care about everything like an outsider?"

After scolding Sun Er, he turned to Lu Ting and said, "Master Lu, how about one to sixteen?"

According to the information I got, Xiajiu's output is about five buckets of rice to make one bucket of wine. At this price, Lu Ting can make double the profit.

It's a lot, but alcohol is a huge profit industry, and the profit of ten times the profit of good wine is not too much. For wine of the quality of Xiajiu, it is not a problem to sell it for two or three thousand dollars. I didn't expect Lu Ting to price it at only five hundred Wen, did not make more insistence on the price.

Food prices are high now, and costs can be cut through large-scale purchases in different places. The Chang'an brothel guild is backed by many powerful forces, and can easily purchase large quantities of cheap food and transport it to Chang'an. Stable, the cultivated land and output are rising, and Sun Shiyong judges that the price of grain will be lower and lower.

Even if the price of food does not drop, Pingkangfang can buy expensive and sell expensive, and it is not afraid of losing money at all.

Sun Shiyong was generous, and Lu Ting was not stingy. He pondered for a while, and quickly said: "The capital of Sun Hui said that he is not an outsider, and he can't make Sun Huishou busy for nothing. Let's say sixteen buckets of grain in exchange for one dollar in the contract." Dou wine, but the settlement is based on fifteen dou, how about it?"

After eating meat by himself, he had to ask others to drink some soup. Even though Sun Shiyong was just a small brothel leader, he had a huge network of resources and connections. Maybe there would be someone to ask him for help in the future.

"It's easy to say, easy to say." Sun Shiyong's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile on his face, "It's no wonder that Mr. Lu has been loved by the prince at such a young age. This love, I will remember it."

He still wanted to go back and find an excuse to get some benefits. After all, his old face was involved, so he couldn't make a trip in vain. Lu Ting took the initiative to give up the benefits, which is better.

If you get the benefits, the food is not ugly, so why not do it.

Lu Ting chuckled and said some polite words. The two chatted for a while in a friendly atmosphere. It was not until Lao Gao and Sun Er settled the details of the cooperation that Sun Shiyong left with satisfaction.

There are real benefits to getting scarce supply, can you not be satisfied?
Regardless of how much a bucket of rice is worth, there are more than 300 brothels in Pingkangfang, and the daily consumption of alcohol is definitely considerable. As long as Lu Ting's supply does not slow down, the difference in the price of this bucket can make Sun Shiyong a lot of money.

This Lu Ting is a bit interesting.

"My lord, I have something to say, I don't know if I should ask it." After seeing off Sun Shiyong, Lao Gao asked cautiously.

"I've already spoken, let's ask."

Lao Gao hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice, "Young master, is it a hasty decision to replace grain with wine? The grain stored in Liangshi Mountain has already piled up like a mountain, and the cave is almost full. If you collect so much grain, there will be no place left let go."

Lu Ting buys half of the grain for wine making and keeps the other half. The reason is that others can’t inform the purchase amount to find out the real situation of Xiajiu. The leftover grain can also be used as a reserve. After nearly three months of accumulation, Liangshishan’s The grain reserves are more than a thousand stones.

With so much grain, storage is a problem. Fortunately, there is a huge cave in Liangshi Mountain. The cave is located halfway up the mountain, with a depth of hundreds of feet.

"Look for a place if you don't have a place, that's how the matter is settled." Lu Ting didn't bother to explain, and responded casually.

I can't tell you that there will be a disaster in the Tang Dynasty soon, so I am planning for a rainy day.

Lao Gao's face was serious, and a strange look flashed in his eyes, but he quickly reacted and responded repeatedly.

Everyone in the Tang Dynasty knew about the struggle between the crown prince and King Qin. As King Qin's student and confidant, it was understandable that Lu Ting was prepared. These things were confidential. As a slave, he should not inquire about them.

Anyway, it's right to listen to the son.

Lu Ting is also in a good mood. Chang'an Pingkangfang Brothel Guild is a good partner. Putting Chivalrous Wine in Pingkangfang has played a great role in promoting it. To solve the problem of raw materials, some people will raise food for themselves , and gained a wave of Sun Shiyong's favor, it's simply killing multiple birds with one stone.

Expanding the scale of the brewery is on the agenda.

Xiaweitang and Jiufang are on track, and now Liangshiquanhe needs to invest in taking over the paper mill.

Compared with the profits of Xiaweiwei and the winery, that little expense is just a drizzle.

Lu Ting was lying on a special chair, thinking about how to make a fuss in the paper workshop, not only to make a lot of paper, but also to print it.
Just when Lu Ting was dreaming, he heard someone shouting from a distance: "Boss, boss, you are happy, boss is happy."

Lu Ting raised his eyes and saw his eldest son Chong trotting towards him, shouting as he ran, as if asking for credit.

Isn't it okay to say that there are good things, or say that there are happy events, and shouting that there are happy and happy things, so that others may misunderstand.
