Xue Nian's voice broke everyone's thoughts. Everyone looked over and saw Xue Nian looking at Chu Nan with red eyes. Everyone was a little surprised.
If you agree, just agree. As for being so ferocious? What kind of stimulation did you get?
No one can understand Xue Nian's mentality at the moment. In order to open his own cloth shop, he licked his face and asked for help. In the end, not only was he unable to open it, but he also lost a lot of family wealth and connections to it, and even the original business suffered.
A lot of losses were incurred.
If the cloth shop is not successful, I will almost be unable to make a living.
Now he is like a gambler who has lost all his money. Since he has a chance to make a comeback, why should he care about anything else?
I don't know what others thought about Chu Nan's words, but they spoke to Xue Nian's heart and brought out all the dissatisfaction he had accumulated over the years.
Yes, these people, in the eyes of the wealthy family, are no different from ants. The little wealth in their hands is enough in the eyes of ordinary people, but they themselves know very well that in their current situation, if nothing happens, this
This life has reached its peak.
If you want to go further, even if you give up all your dignity to kneel and lick, those high-ranking nobles will not look down upon them. When you really touch the invisible barriers established by the wealthy families, you will only feel the depth.
The ground was in despair.
"It's nothing more than this. It's a failure. At worst, it won't be worse than here if we change places. What's so scary?" Xue Nian looked at Chu Nan with red eyes.
It's just that his statement made others a little embarrassed. Do they agree or disagree?
"Don't worry, everyone. Today's banquet for you is not a Hongmen banquet. If you can't make a decision right away, you can go back and think about it carefully. With my background, we will not encounter many opportunities in our lives." Chu Nan stood up and spoke, resolving everyone's concerns.
Awkward.
He just wants to find these people as store managers, and there will definitely be benefits. As for the things they worry about, Chu Nan seems to be a bit unfounded. To put it bluntly, they are all pawns crossing the river. If the overall situation has been decided,
Those big shots wouldn't do anything to them, but Xue Nian's sudden arrival put Chu Nan in a bit of a dilemma.
It's as if if someone doesn't agree, dozens of swordsmen and axemen will immediately rush out from behind the door and chop the person into pieces. It's not that serious, it's really not that serious~
"Brother Ziyan, we don't believe it. Since we want to do the salt farm business, just relying on the inventory in the treasury won't be enough, right?" Tian Yang looked at Chu Nan and asked a key question.
They are neither good nor bad, but they are still very well-informed, especially in terms of making money. If there is any loophole, they have already found it, and they will not wait for Chu Nan to say it.
Salt, iron, grain, and cloth are basically the basis for aristocratic families to control the place. These businesses cannot be touched by outsiders. Since Liu Bei, Xuzhou Salt Industry has basically no place for others to intervene, and the lord of Xuzhou has also
no.
Therefore, it is impossible for Lu Bu to have so much salt to open these salt villages now. The key to everyone's hesitation is here. Without salt, let alone 10%, it is useless even if Lu Bu promises to give them all the profits.
"I said, supply in sufficient quantity!" Chu Nan looked at Tian Yang and said solemnly: "Everyone can rest assured on this. As for the origin of the salt, I can't tell you for the time being."
"If Brother Ziyan can guarantee a sufficient supply of salt, this business will be good." Tian Yang put away the five baht money in his hand, looked at Chu Nan and said, "Count it next."
"Aren't you afraid of losing money?" Chu Nan asked with a smile.
"Betting doesn't necessarily mean losing. Let's put it bluntly, these merchants are all gamblers. In this round, I beat Brother Ziyan, even if I lose, I admit it." Tian Yang said with a smile.
Being a merchant is a kind of gamble in itself, and high risks also mean high returns. If you win this round, not only you will take advantage of the opportunity to rise, but your family wealth may be doubled, and what Tian Yang values more is not the 10% profit, but
The hidden benefits brought by the establishment of Salt Village, such as connections, other business opportunities, and... entering an official career like Chu Nan!
Chu Nan nodded silently. He knew that Tian Yang was a gambler, but unlike other gamblers, he rarely saw Tian Yang losing. Even if he lost, Tian Yang would never get angry.
"Okay!" Chu Nan nodded and looked at the others.
Tian Yang and Xue Nian are not enough. According to Chu Nan's idea, salt farms must be established in at least a few of the most populous counties in Xuzhou, and even in the future they will be expanded to all counties in Xuzhou.
"I still need a lot of preparations, so I don't have much time. Everyone..." Chu Nan looked at everyone, stood up and said: "If you are willing, I will find Brother Tian and Brother Xue. There will be cooperation from the Yamen Office. Yanzhuang is expected to be here
It will be opened in January and the first batch of salt will be sent to each salt store."
He really doesn't have much time. After finalizing these things today, he will immediately leave for the East China Sea to start making salt there. The first batch of salt is mainly used for trading with Yuan Shu, but not much is used at the salt village.
, so seven or eight people will be enough in the early stage. After the salt village has established a firm footing, there will be no need to worry about no one coming.
Everyone nodded silently and did not agree directly. It was not difficult to understand. After all, everyone present had their own livelihood. Not everyone was desperate like Xue Nian, and not everyone was as gambling-minded as Tian Yang. It was necessary for them to
It is obviously impossible to make an immediate decision.
Chu Nan did not mention this matter again, and the banquet continued. Chu Nan frequently drank with others, and everyone drank until evening before leaving.
Tian Yang and Xue Nian have not left, they have to wait for Chu Nan's next instructions.
"The two salt houses in charge have shown up. One is Xiapi and the other is Xiaopei." Chu Nan took the wet wipes handed over by Lu Yi and wiped his forehead to make himself more awake. He looked at the two of them and said:
"These two places will be the core of the future salt village. From now on, the affairs of the salt village will be entrusted to these two people."
First come, first served. Everyone has similar abilities. Naturally, this good location is first come, first served. Chu Nan took out a bamboo slip and handed it to Tian Yang and said: "In addition to these two cities, there are still six cities that need to be laid out in the first batch of salt villages. Tian
My brother stayed in Xiapi and was responsible for taking care of the others. When he had enough eight people, he stopped recruiting them, but he didn’t want to drive them away. After the first batch of salt farms had established a firm foothold, it was time to open the second batch. There were a lot of people needed.
.”
Although preparations only started today, Chu Nan has obviously been preparing for the plan for Salt Village for a long time. The only thing missing now is available people.
Tian Yang nodded and invited eight people, but invited eighteen people. Obviously Chu Nan already knew that some people would hesitate or refuse, so he smiled and said: "Brother Zi Yan, don't worry, this matter will definitely live up to Brother Zi Yan's trust."
After Chu Nan explained some specific precautions and who should be approached to solve the problem, he sent the two of them to leave. The matter here is over, and it is time to make salt. After all, it is necessary to make salt in the end.
Only with salt, otherwise the cake will be useless no matter how big it is...
