Chapter 94 Must Kill?
Liu Mo is soft-hearted? No, how is that possible!
This price is very "reasonable" to begin with! At the same time, it was decided after He Ruda discussed it with him.
Why?
Very simple.
First of all, the old lady always needs to be given some face.
First, scare him, and then sell Mrs. Zhou a favor, making a sure profit without losing money.
The second one: being close to the people, speaking more broadly, means improving people’s living standards!
For the lives of the people in Daxia, water, grain, and salt are all indispensable. Water and grain are all available, but salt is not a choice and cannot be replaced.
The ultimate goal of Liu Mo's development of new salt is to allow the people of Daxia to eat high-quality and affordable salt.
Third, my task is to repair the badly damaged Rongcheng Salt Road. The price of new salt is too high. How can I stop the salt gang?
Fourth, the price of fifteen cents per pound is also very profitable!
The cost of drying sea salt can be said to be almost zero. The raw material, seawater, is inexhaustible. The workers on the island are basically in a state of "free prostitution", as long as they pay for food!
The only cost involved was the cost of buying land. But because of the maritime ban, Liu Mo had to "haggle" and found that except for Donglai Island, the prices of other islands were all "cabbage prices"!
Liu Mo and Lin Shiqi estimated together that the "cost price" of each pound of new salt would not exceed three cents at most.
Nowadays, the costs of logistics, dealers, and sales labor have all gone to Zhou Lijie.
Excluding the salt tax, the profit per catty is at least ten cents.
8.4 million jins, converted to an income of nearly 90,000 taels of silver per year.
You must know that the first-grade official of the Great Xia Dynasty had a regular salary of 180 taels, an endowment salary of 180 taels, and a salary of 360 dendrobium meters.
Converted according to the price of rice, one handful of rice is about 0.65 taels of silver, which means that the entire annual salary of a first-grade official is only 600 taels of silver.
A seventh-grade county magistrate only has a pitiful one hundred and twenty taels a year.
What is the concept of earning 90,000 taels by doing nothing for a year... Tsk tsk!
However, aside from the above, the most important thing is this.
You forced Zhou Lijie to buy it at a high price. God knows if he would adulterate it for you to reduce losses.
After Shi Qi was released, when the investigation was carried out, the source of the salt production was Liu Mo.
Rather than taking such risks, it is better to leave some way for others to survive and also leave a way out for yourself.
On the other hand, Zhou Lijie had mixed feelings in his heart.
The cost price of fifteen cents seems to be a profit of five cents. However, there are no miscellaneous expenses included here.
The official system is not peaceful, so you must show filial piety to the Salt Gang and let them clear the way for you.
Salt tax, labor, etc., all cost money.
Another thing, twenty cents is the floating maximum price limit.
The first year you put the new salt on the market, you sold it all at the highest price, leaving such a bad reputation.
Wait until next year, Liu Mo's new salt will be on the market, the price will be slightly lowered, and it will be "tested" by your Zhou family this year.
That sales volume will make me laugh out of my dreams!
Thinking of this, Zhou Lijie shamelessly said again: "My dear nephew, the price of fifteen cents does not include 'material transportation'!"
"Uncle Shi, please forgive me for not being able to help with this matter!" Liu Mo said with a smile: "By transporting it in the name of my Lin family, wouldn't it tell everyone in the Xia Dynasty that this salt was bought from me?"
If you engage in py trading in private, you are taking advantage of a bug in the salt gang system. If you engage in "second-hand reselling" blatantly, the problem will be serious.
Zhou Lijie's face was heavy. He had no reason to lower the price anymore.
What do you mean? Could it be that the Lin family should reimburse the money for invoicing and material transportation?
Continue to bargain? Ask for ten cents per catty?
He sighed, and his many years of business experience told him that this time, he would lose tens of thousands of taels of silver.
The money is small, and the most annoying thing is.
The Zhou family's hard work for a year was all about making wedding dresses for their "rivals" the Lin family.
At the end of the day, I still owe someone a huge favor!
The cooperation was concluded "perfectly" in this way.
Liu Mo's new salt will only be transported from the processing factory on the island to Xiangshan County and placed in the warehouse rented by the Lin family.
The pick-up process is strictly implemented in accordance with Liu Mo's warehousing management process on Earth.
You must provide the pick-up slip stamped by the two bosses. When picking up the goods, you need to sign for the receipt slip and press your fingerprint.
The most important thing is that once the goods are taken out, they will not be returned!
This is how the business was concluded.
The subordinates got paper and pen, and Mrs. Zhou specially asked Lin Shiqi to sign the contract. Liu Mo did not object to this, after all, strictly speaking, she was the "head" of Liu Mo's house!
After the "contract" was signed, the old lady asked Zhou Lijie to leave first. She had other things to discuss with Liu Mo and his wife.
Close the door and make sure no one is around.
Mrs. Zhou's eyes changed. After staring at Liu Mo for a long time, she finally said, "Mo'er, did you not listen to my old lady?"
Liu Mo was surprised, "Old lady, how do you say this?"
"That actor!" Mrs. Zhou raised her voice, "Have you seen him?"
"Well..." Liu Mo frowned, "I've seen it before! Do you want to say this in front of Shi Qi?"
"You are already husband and wife, what is there to hide about such an important matter!" Mrs. Zhou said: "Mo'er, let me ask you, why should you let him go?"
"What? Have you seen any actors?" Lin Shiqi was confused.
"That actor who pestered your father," the old lady announced, "tell me, Mo'er, why didn't you listen to me and why didn't you kill him!"
"Ah...Old lady, you asked my husband to kill someone?" Lin Shiqi screamed, "Husband, what on earth is going on?"
Liu Mo just nodded his head, not knowing how to speak at all.
"If this person is not eliminated, he will definitely be a great disaster to our Lin family." The old lady reprimanded sternly, "Mo'er, you must not be merciful!"
After a long silence, Liu Mo finally spoke, "Old lady, is this person really a treacherous and evil person? As far as I know, many things are more like his father-in-law..."
"Mo'er, you are confused! How could you be fooled by this person's sweet words?" the old lady scolded.
Liu Mo frowned and opened and closed his fingers helplessly. "What on earth did he do to make you..."
These words seemed to remind the old lady of something, "Let's put it this way, Yang Yizhi is the second person I have ever seen in my life who can't see clearly. Last time, I, an old man, was also deceived by him."
Speaking of this, she paused for a few seconds, "What makes me feel creepy about this person is that my son Lin Yuan is inextricably linked to him, but I can't find any flaws in him. It seems that all evil things happen."
My own hands.
A mother knows her son well. How can I not know how much my son weighs?
Mo'er, that's all, you are a smart person and should be able to figure it out!"
Hearing this, Liu Mo fell into silence.
The simple understanding is that Yang Yizhi is very suspicious, but after an investigation by the old lady, he found that there is no problem at all!
No one is perfect, there is nothing wrong with him at all, which makes people shudder!
"Old lady, why must I take action?"
"Besides you, I have also looked for other people, but all failed."
Good guy!
Liu Mo couldn't help but feel chills running down his spine.
After looking for other people, it is understandable that Mrs. Zhou spent money to hire a killer, but she could not get rid of this actor!
This Yang Yizhi seems to be extremely extraordinary!
"Mo'er, I'm sure he will know about my coming to Rongcheng soon." Old Mrs. Zhou sighed, "You have already missed an opportunity. If the opportunity arises next time, remember my words, you must not do anything to me.
Show mercy!"
Liu Mo looked grave, "The old lady is determined to kill him!"
Chapter completed!
