Chapter 31 30. Why is Chu paper called Chu paper? (Please give me a monthly pass to recommend collecting and reading)
In Zhangling County, Chu Paper has the exclusive agency right for one year, with a base price of 10,000 yuan. Each increase in price shall not be less than 1,000 yuan. The one with the highest counteroffer will win.
These words made everyone stunned.
Why?
Because Zhangling County is too small compared to other counties. Not only is the place small, but the population is also small, let alone the nobles.
The nobles are the main force consuming Chu paper!
But ten thousand dollars a year is indeed... not expensive!
"Ms. Yang, please pay 10,000 yuan." The middle-aged man on the right said.
Everyone else calmed down and had no intention of fighting.
Huang Yueying raised her eyebrows slightly.
The Yang family, the most famous at this time is the Hongnong Yang family, that is, the branch of Yang Xiu and his father Yang Biao, who was the fourth Taiwei, a famous family in Tokyo, they are really awesome.
But although this Yang family in Jingzhou comes from the same clan as the Hongnong Yang family, they are not the Hongnong Yang family after all. How can they be so domineering?
"Yang, 10,000 yuan, once." Huang Yueying said with an unchanging expression, "If no one raises the price after I bid three times, then the one-year agency right of Chu Paper in Zhangling County will belong to Yang."
Everyone then understood that this was the so-called highest bidder.
Ten thousand yuan a year, even though Zhangling County is small, can still make a lot of money. After hearing Huang Yueying's explanation, more people started to think about it. After all, the Jingzhou Yang family is not the Hongnong Yang family!
"Xiang, 11,000 yuan." Then someone spoke again, and then he raised his hand to the first man on the right, "Brother Jieyuan, I'm offended."
"It doesn't matter, the lady has already made it clear, the one with the highest price will get it." Yang Liao, who is from far away, nodded slightly, with no change in his eyes, and then said, "Ms. Yang, twenty thousand dollars."
"Haha, brother Jie Yuan has no intention of being thrifty and virtuous at all. Jiangxia Huang family, twenty-one thousand yuan." Huang Tao laughed and said.
"Mr. Yang, thirty thousand dollars."
"Xiang, thirty-one thousand yuan."
"Ms. Yang, forty thousand dollars."
"The Huang family of Jiangxia, forty-one thousand yuan."
Yang Liao's expression changed a bit. Forty thousand dollars was already close to his bottom line. He never thought that he would be suppressed by the Xiang family and the Jiangxia Huang family. If he paid fifty thousand dollars, it would be more than he would gain.
After thinking for a while, he immediately said, "In that case, congratulations to Brother Haichao. The Yang family will no longer compete for Zhang Ling's agency rights."
Huang Tao, also known as Haichao, immediately bowed his hand to Yang Liao and said, "Thank you very much."
Huang Yueying looked at these people. It was not surprising that the various aristocratic families were intertwined and had deep relationships. They knew each other, but this person from the Yang family, even though he was suppressed, was still very graceful, which she had never expected.
So he said, "Jiangxia Huang family, forty-one thousand yuan, one time."
No one made a sound.
"Jiangxia Huang family, 41,000 yuan, twice."
"Jiangxia Huang family, 41,000 yuan, three transactions, completed. Congratulations to this uncle."
"Young lady, you are welcome. This is the sincerity of the Jiangxia Huang family to the Mianyang Huang family." Huang Tao smiled, "After all, you and I were once the same clan."
Huang Yueying nodded.
The Huang family in Mianyang, the Huang family in Xiangyang and the Huang family in Jiangxia are all related to each other. It is only because of their different geographical distribution that they are close and distant.
However, the Huang family of Jiangxia is more famous because their ancestors produced Huang Xiang, the protagonist in the story of "Fan Pillow and Warm Quilt" in "Twenty-Four Filial Piety", who rose to the rank of Shangshu Ling, and his son Huang Qiong became an official and then traveled through the Three Dukes. Now,
Huang Qiong has only passed away for more than 20 years, but his influence still remains.
He slowly studied the ink, then picked up the pen and wrote:
The exclusive agency right for Chu paper in Zhangling County is for one year, and the Huang family of Jiangxia has an agency fee of 41,000 yuan.
"Then, everyone, continue."
"The next step is the one-year exclusive agency right of Nanyang County. The base price is still 10,000 yuan, and each increase in price must not be less than 1,000 yuan."
"Yang family, ten thousand dollars." Yang Liao still spoke first. They Yang family didn't care about Zhang Ling at all, but he was determined to win the entire Nanyang.
"The Huang family in Xiangyang, twenty thousand yuan."
"Xiang, 30,000 yuan."
"Yang, fifty thousand dollars." Yang Liao continued to increase the price.
Although Nanyang County was the hardest hit by the war, the aristocratic families actually had their reservations. In recent years, under the rule of Liu Biao, they have slowly recovered.
"Brother Jieyuan, do you want to win the one-year agency rights of Nanyang County for 50,000 yuan?" Huang Tao smiled again, "Jiangxia Huang family, 80,000 yuan."
The rest of the people were in an uproar. Even if the Jiangxia Huang family had a Huang ancestor, they shouldn't be so rampant, right?
Huang Tao looked at this group of people proudly. If he knew what these people thought, he would definitely say, yes, there is a Huang Zu who is so rampant.
Huang Zu is Liu Biao's confidant. Now he is guarding Jiangxia, which means he is guarding the east gate of Jingzhou. In addition, the Huang family in Jiangxia is a famous family. It is reasonable to want to win the agency rights of Jiangxia and Nanyang at the same time.
Eighty thousand dollars is already close to everyone’s bottom line.
Although Nanyang County has a population of more than 2 million, the number of people who consume Chu paper is more aristocratic families. If you can't get enough price concessions in Mianyang, then the whole year will most likely be in vain.
"Having said that, I would like to ask, if we were to represent Chu paper outside Xiangyang, how much would a piece of medium Chu paper cost, and how much would a piece of fine Chu paper cost?" Yang Liao did not continue to increase the price, but asked
This question arises that should have been explained clearly in advance.
"Oh, I just forgot to mention that the agent purchased the Chu paper from my store. The price of the medium Chu paper is two yuan a piece, and the price of the fine Chu paper is six yuan. But there is one requirement.
Within Jingzhou, the selling price of Chu paper is unified, five yen for medium-grade paper and ten yen for fine paper.”
Huang Yueying opened her mouth and said that the prices offered by agents were cheaper than those given to Yang Xiu and his group. After all, she had unified the selling price.
Jingzhou can be at peace for at least ten years in the future. Within these ten years, several generations of talents will grow up.
The cheaper Chu paper is, the more talents she can use in the future.
So, she gave up some of the benefits.
Besides, there is no extra Chu paper in the village for these people to take away. After all, it must be given to the few agents who go to other forces' territories first, and that is the bulk.
Before the Chu paper workshops in various places are built, the whole of Jingzhou, except Xiangyang, will still be in a state where scalpers are making a lot of money. As for who will be the scalpers...
That's hard to say.
But she understands that this is a process that must be experienced before the implementation of new things.
Once the upper class market is saturated, it will be able to supply the middle and lower classes.
This is what she thinks.
Everyone was a little surprised after hearing Huang Yueying's words. They felt that Huang Yueying was too young after all. Such a big matter could only be settled once it was settled.
"Nvjun... don't you need to discuss it with Duke Chengyan?" Someone kindly reminded me.
Behind Huang Yueying, Gan Ning silently picked up the broadsword placed aside, raised it horizontally, and placed it in front of him.
Huang Cong also stared, "Although you are older, you have underestimated my sister! My sister is now Lord Chu An, how can I still deceive you?"
"Haha, don't be angry, young man. I'm just confused."
"You are right to suspect, but since my father has left this matter to me, he will no longer interfere." Huang Yueying waved her hand and held down Huang Cong, who was about to become furious. She knew that the latter would not tolerate others talking about her.
Bad words, "I have given up a large part of my profits, and you have to set the price of this Chu paper, otherwise, the contract will be invalid."
"I dare to ask the reason." Chen Yue is young and more courageous after all.
"My father named this new paper Chu paper. Why? Jingdi was also called Chudi in ancient times. If people in Chudi still don't have access to Chu paper, why does Chu paper call it Chu paper?" Huang Yueying asked rhetorically.
Since Chu paper is called Chu paper, it must be affordable to the people of Chu land.
Otherwise, wouldn't it be better to change the name?
"Chu Anjun... benevolent." After hearing this, Chen Yue sat up straight and bowed.
"The lady is kind and virtuous."
"That being the case, I'll be relieved."
"good."
"Then I, Mr. Yang, give me one hundred thousand dollars." Yang Liao was really relieved at this time. In this way, the benefits they could get would be even more.
"Jiangxia Huang family, 120,000 yuan!" Huang Tao still supported it. After learning that Huang Yueying gave them such a low price, he became more confident.
Nanyang County is a big county after all!
As a result, other clans also increased their prices.
"Xi family, 125,000 yuan!"
"Xiang, 126,000 yuan!"
"Mr. Ma, 130,000 yuan!"
