Chapter 486 Private Salt Alliance

"Captain Wang is sure that he is not kidding?"

Wang Qing looked at Wang Lun with a little unhappy and thought that he was in this situation, and the other party was still intent on teasing him. This was too unkind!

Although he has not been in contact with this business for a few years, he has many people who are proficient in private salt. Besides, even himself can be considered a salt knowledge at the moment. What Wang Lun said about transportation is not a problem and he is not allowed to do so, but the price issue is simply a dead end.

"It's late at night, I called the King of Alliance here. Is it just to joke with you?" Wang Lun asked back. Although Wang Qing did not argue, he still looked dissatisfied and smiled: "The King of Alliance has been away for so many years. He should know the salt prices in various parts of our Song Dynasty. Let's hear what?"

"Junior brother, I know this too, so let Brother Yu finish it!" Li Zhu looked at Wang Qing, then looked at Wang Lun, and said in the middle.

Wang Lun didn't urge Wang Qing and said to Li Zhu: "Senior brother, please tell me, I will listen with you!"

"I dare not dare!" Li Zhu bowed and smiled, saying, "When it comes to the price of salt in the north, we have to mention salt. Henan, Hebei, west of Caopu, and east of Qinfeng, all eat salt removal. The price of salt removal to officials and merchants was 8 jin of 200 coins during the Yuanyou period (a cube of salt was about 116 jin and a half Song jin). Until now, although the price has changed, it is still relatively stable, and has been hovering between 5 and 70 jin per jin. Of course, there are also salt produced in Bingzhou and Fenzhou Water Conservancy Supervision in Hedong. The salt quality is very poor, so the price is much lower than salt removal. The price sent to merchants is only 36 jin per jin."

"There is an exception to the north, which is that the capital salt courtyard is set up in Tokyo. By controlling the market salt volume, it will be suppressed when the salt price is high and when the salt price is low, it will be maintained at the level of 45 cents per kilogram."

Li Zhu said it very much, and Wang Lun listened very carefully. He wanted to do private salt transactions with Wang Qing. Of course, he had an understanding of the market in advance. Li Zhu said all the wholesale prices set by the official, not the retail prices he learned in advance. Although Li Jun is also an old dealer in smuggling salt, he was just detained in a corner of Jiangzhou and could not have such a thorough understanding of the situation in the country.

"In addition to the north, there are Southeast Sixth Road and Jingdong. The price of sea salt sent to merchants by Southeast Sixth Road was at least twenty cents and forty-five cents, but Cai Jing proposed to raise the price in front of the official. The price of the sixth Road salt was increased by ten cents, and the forty-five cents were as old as before. That is to say, except for the highest and lowest salt prices, the price of the other middle and middle salts increased by ten cents."

"The end is the fourth road of Sichuan and Shu. The fourth road of Sichuan and Shu mainly sells locally produced well salt. The price seems to be hundreds of cents per kilogram, but it is iron coins. It is not the price of copper coins, but it is very cheap. If there are fools selling sea salt and removing salt, they will only lose all their money. If someone wants to transport his well salt on a large scale, it will be quite difficult. First, the output is limited, and it has to be sold to Dali Kingdom, and second, the Shu Road is difficult to move. Therefore, self-sufficiency is the biggest feature of this place, so there is nothing to say about this place!"

Li Zhu is worthy of being an expert in private salt trading. After a while, he explained the salt prices in most areas of the country thoroughly, but the places he did not mention are either too remote or have a small population base. In his eyes, they naturally have no commercial value.

"If the quality of salt in the junior brother is in the hands of the court, the price will be at least higher than salt removal! I wonder where the junior brother collected it? It is not convenient to reveal the price?"

Li Zhu really wanted to promote this deal, even if he didn't buy it in the future, he could buy the sea salt in this warehouse this time. After all, both sides were their own people, and Wang Lun started to stock up on salt because of his proposal. Especially when he found that Wang Qing was a little uneasy, Li Zhu's wish was even more urgent, and he thought that he would just add a few cents to avoid affecting the friendship between the two sides.

Wang Lun clearly saw Li Zhu's intentions, and looked back at Chai Jin. Chai Jin understood, smiled and said, "Thirty coins!"

After hearing this average price, Li Zhu nodded secretly, feeling that Wang Lun's salt collection price was still cheap. Even if these fine salts were wholesale to JD.com's merchants at a price of 45 cents, there would still be many people flocking to them. After all, the founding of the Song Dynasty for more than 100 years, and there were many wealthy people among the people, so the high-end market should not be underestimated.

However, as a second-deaven dealer, he has no advantage in the price after getting Liangshan Gali. After all, he can sell it locally for 40 or 50 yuan. Even if he only adds ten yuan to himself for the sake of mercy, he still has little profit margin. After all, this place is thousands of miles away from Fangshan, and there are many levels along the way that obstacles are blocked. Including freight, handling points and losses, after returning, it is almost the same as the price of merchants picking up goods from the government.

Thinking of this, Li Zhu felt that his idea of ​​adding a few dollars was unrealistic. He was exhausted and hindered his junior brother from getting rich. It was a way to both lose money. Of course, there was another way, which was to accept all the salt here, and then he started selling it along the way. But this method was too rogue. Li Zhu rejected it without thinking. He was talking in his mind how to make this matter perfect, but Wang Qing had already spoken at this time:

"Captain Wang, it's not that Wang refused to do this deal with you. At the real price, I'll add a few cents to collect it. It's better than selling it on the spot and making a little more profit. I think you have tens of thousands of stones of fine salt here, and it's really okay to make 50,000 or 70,000 yuan in turn!"

When Li Shu heard Wang Qing say this first, he sighed and said, "Junior brother, the leader is really thinking about you!"

Seeing that both of them had expressed their opinions, Chai Jin suddenly laughed and said, "Both of them have misunderstood. What we mean is to ship the goods to the leader of the Wang Alliance for thirty coins per pound!"

Li Zhu suddenly turned around, looked at Wang Qing anxiously, and said, "Leader Chai, official said that thirty dollars are the price for us!"

Wang Qing was also surprised and thought to himself that this salt was robbed by the court, otherwise why would Liangshan be sold so low? But if it was robbed by the court, how could he guarantee that there would be goods every time in the future? He tentatively said: "Every time there is such a quality?"

Chai Jin knew nothing about the source of the goods, so he had to hand over this issue to Wang Lun. However, Wang Lun smiled and promised: "The quality of each batch will definitely be subtle, but it will definitely not become a product of two grades! If the quality is too different in the future, let's negotiate again, please rest assured of this! Moreover, in terms of the source of goods, you don't have to worry!"

At this time, all Wang Qing's brain cells were activated by Wang Lun's words. Now they are running rapidly. The quality of these fine salts in Liangshanbo is only sold at ordinary prices. What a huge prospect. This is equivalent to the audience who can buy these salts has expanded many times. Even if you make a few less money per kilogram, as long as there are more people buying them, the profits are still coming!?

At this moment, Wang Qing's black seal hall suddenly moistened. He regained his vitality and blinked at Li Shu repeatedly. Li Shu didn't understand what Wang Qing meant. He wanted to pretend that he hadn't seen it, but when he thought of his miserable appearance before, he couldn't bear it, so he had to grit his teeth. He saw this rare swordsman in the world rubbing his hands and stuttering: "Cai Daguan, can you have less?"

Chai Jin smiled happily and clasped his fists and said, "The Taoist Master asked for the wrong person. Such a big thing is not something I can decide!" The implication is clear.

Wang Lun knew that it was normal to bargain in business. If you say one price, the other person would give another price. Then the transaction was completed, everyone was happy. Therefore, this price was not the bottom line in his heart. Seeing that Li Zhu was extremely embarrassed, he said, "Official Chai. The leader of the alliance came from afar, so don't let him go!"

Chai Jin was teased by Wang Lun. But he felt very proud and was very happy. Wang Qing was about to accept his compliment, but suddenly he accidentally thought of something and then started to show off: "As the saying goes, good things come true! The leader gave up the Ma brothers, and we must repay the favors. We just gave two cents and twenty-eight cents a pound, how about it?"

Wang Qing was overjoyed. The price of 30 cents made him feel like a cat scratch. The other two cents were like Liangshanpo giving money. This was a real favor! He was so happy that he could not help but let him down. While thanking Wang Lun, he did not dare to neglect Chai Jin. However, no one present expected that in the near future, because of Chai Jin's performance at this time, Ma Xie and Ma Jin were imposed a nickname by outsiders in distress, saying that "wealth is as rich as a country's money."

After the business was negotiated, both parties were naturally happy. Wang Qing took the initiative to pull Wang Lun back to drink, saying that he wanted to toast himself. Wang Lun was afraid that Wang Qing would be extremely sad, so he died. Of course, he refused. Li Zhu and Chai Jin also persuaded each other. Wang Qing then gave up and patted his head and said, "Captain Wang, you just said that the price was not a problem, but now you see, it was not a problem! But I forgot for a while. You said that shipping was not a problem, I want to hear your opinions!"

Seeing that everyone was looking at him urgently, Wang Lun did not go around the corner. After all, Wang Qing could figure it out when he woke up. He immediately said two words: "Yellow River!"

Sure enough, Wang Qing slapped his head with another palm and said, "Why are you talking about me? I forgot about the golden road!"

Everyone laughed, and Wang Lun couldn't help but smile. At this time, Li Zhu's eyes lit up and said excitedly: "Walking on the water, no amount of salt is a big deal! We will scare people by transporting tens of thousands of stones on land, but when we reach the Yellow River, it's just a few big ships! This time, we really have the blessing of our junior brother. As long as the Liangshanpo supply is enough, Brother Yu can bring the private salt vendors to the imperial kitchen of Zhao Guan's family!"

"The Taoist priest said it very much, but I still want to see what the reaction would be if Tian Hu eats the private salt we sell!" Wang Qing sneered. His anger-style words contained his ambitions for the private salt market in Hedong. He was confident that he would take advantage of the advantages of the salt-salt provided by Liangshanpo to make a bloody road. In addition, there are also the vast lands of southwest Beijing, North Road, Tokyo Kaifeng Prefecture, Jinghunan, North Road, etc., which are all stages that can make him show his skills. He even had the idea of ​​selling sea salt to the salt-deficient Dali Country in an instant.

"This person is probably unable to help but raise the flag. I think in the future, some of our fine salt will be included in his 'Imperial Kitchen'!" Chai Jin said with interest. Everyone couldn't help but hold their foreheads and laugh, but Wang Qing was stroking his throat.

After everyone laughed enough, Wang Lun talked about the serious matter and said, "From the Yellow River to my Liangshanpo, you must first enter the sea, and then transfer to the Beiqing River. However, the Beiqing River is not well-drained, and large ships with more than 2,000 materials are difficult to pass. In addition, the risk of river boats entering the sea is very high. Therefore, I suggest that we find a place to build a cottage at the point where the Yellow River enters the sea, and our Liangshanpo will be responsible for transporting private salt here. You don't have to go out to sea. It's very convenient to load goods from here. What do you think?"

Wang Lun's proposal was very reasonable. Wang Qing and Li Zhu did not agree. He responded repeatedly. Wang Lun said again: "In the future, the salt here will continue to be exported here. I am afraid that it will attract the attention of the government and the people in the martial arts world. There is a carrot and a pit in my village. If you can't get rid of people, it's best to ask the leader of the Wang League to send a powerful general to guard!"

"Don't worry, this leader of the king, so I will naturally take care of some small matters! Leader of the king will just send a leader to stay in the house at that time!" Wang Qing didn't take it seriously and said with a smile: "Which one of the villages jointly established by our two families dares to die?"

Life is like a roller coaster. It was just at the bottom of the valley, but now it is ready to rush to the peak of life. Wang Qing only feels that the ups and downs in a short period of time are too exciting.
