Although he is also a big businessman, Fan Zhuo, as a senior doctor in the State of Chu, definitely looks down on pure businessmen like Guo Han. In his eyes, all businessmen are just tools for making money. For Guo Han's attentiveness, he turned his eyes, which were much white than black, and said lightly: "I only have half an hour. If you have anything, just say it directly, don't beat around the bush, I don't have time to get involved with you."

Guo Han smiled and reached out to invite him: "I heard for a long time that Dr. Fan is a foodie. This time, Guo brought some specialties from the North, all of which are the freshest ingredients. In the south, it is extremely difficult to eat these things. Moreover, the chef was specially invited by Guo from the North, just to let Lord Fan taste the original northern flavor. The banquet was ready, and Dr. Fan was invited to enjoy the scenery."

"Oh, then you're intent." Fan Zhuo's face turned a little better when he heard that there was delicious food. No matter what, the businessman was still very sensible. From the north to here, it was a long way from the sea to the land and water. It was not easy to keep the ingredients fresh.

Guo Han felt a little proud after successfully catching Fan Zhuo's curiosity.

Yao Yuan was wrapped up by Guo Han today. The yard was extremely quiet. She accompanied Fan Zhuo to the Shuiyue Tower of Yao Yuan. The large table next to the window was already filled with a wide variety of rare dishes. Fan Zhuo swept it roughly and it turned out that they were all northern products that were rarely seen in the south.

"Please sit down, Lord Fan!" Guo Han smiled and asked Fan Zhuo to sit down, waved his hand, and the companions behind him should take out a jar of wine from a small box of gold and silver.

"Mr. Fan, this wine was specially invited by someone from Wu's winery. This is Wu's treasure. If it weren't for that person's face, Wu's winery would never have been willing to take it out. This jar of wine alone would be worth thousands of taels of silver, and it would be priceless."

Carefully removed the mud seal and tore the seal paper, a clear and strange fragrance suddenly drifted indoors. Fan Zhuo was also an old wine worm. After sniffing it deeply, he blurted out, "Good wine!"

"Of course it's good wine." Guo Han said with a smile: "With that person's face, he just asked Wu's winery for two jars. This jar was invited by Lord Fan to taste this jar, while the other jar was to honor Lord Fan."

Fan Zhuo picked up the wine glass filled with Guo Han, took a sip, and nodded in satisfaction. "I am quite satisfied with this gift."

Guo Han smiled and picked up the chopsticks, "Mr. Fan, although the northern specialties on this table are novel in the south, most of them have naturally tasted it. However, there are a few, but they are a little different." He stretched out his chopsticks to pick up a piece of thin and almost transparent thing into the cicada's wings. "This is a strange fish that our fleet has salvaged from overseas. But this fish cannot be too hot, and can only be eaten raw and cut into thin slices. With the spices we found overseas, it melts in the mouth and produces saliva. Lord Fan, please try it."

Holding this thin slice, gently drag it in a bowl of seasonings, and put it in the small plate in front of Fan Zhuo.

Born in Jiangnan, there is naturally no shortage of fish. Fan Zhuo picked up this piece of fish fillet and put it in his mouth. Just when he was about to laugh at him, he kept his words in his mouth.

It's indeed unusual.

His chopsticks could not help but reach towards the sashimi dish on the table.

Guo Han smiled and looked at Fan Zhuo who was flying with chopsticks on the table, and finally successfully caught the arrogant doctor. His face was also good at this time, and he would never mention that he had only half an hour.

"Mr. Yan is really meant." Fan Zhuo suddenly said while eating. Seeing the smile on Guo Han's face disappearing and looking a little surprised, Fan Zhuo smiled proudly.

"It turns out that Lord Fan has known my background for a long time." Guo Han sighed, "I have always thought I had hidden it very well!"

Hehe! Fan Zhuo sneered: "If such a big business is not a tough backstage, can you cover it? And it is the exclusive monopoly of the sales of Jiangnan silk in the Han Dynasty, I naturally have to check it clearly." Chopsticks pointed to these things on the table, "If you want to transport these objects to Jiangnan, you can't use the power of the official, how can a businessman do it so easily?"

Guo Han smiled dryly, not denying it or affirming it. "Mr. Fan, this time the villain came to Jiangnan, he still had to negotiate with you about the price. I hope Mr. Fan can lower the price a little?"

Fan Zhuo glanced at Guo Han and sneered: "Mr. Guo, in the Han Dynasty, those who have purchased all silks have no different prices except for buying from you. Will you reduce the price? Similarly, the high-end silks you need are only my family in Dachu, and there is no other semicolon. So do you think I will reduce the price?"

Guo Han smiled and said, "That's right, but have Lord Fan ever considered that the high-end silk imported from you by our great man is probably more than what you sell in Chu State. In other words, more than half of your current sales come from our great man. I think this reason is enough for us to ask you for a price reduction, otherwise it will really anger that master. With the order, I am afraid that the trade route of selling high-end silk to the great Chu will be interrupted. At that time, your losses will be great."

"Are you threatening me?" Fan Zhuo put down his chopsticks and said coldly. "If this is the case, I think I will not be the one who suffers the loss. The old man behind you will also suffer a lot of losses."

"For that old man, having or not, is just icing on the cake. At the same time, I can also tell Mr. Fan that the man has made some breakthroughs in the production of high-end silk. Although the production volume is not large, he has begun to be put into the market. These are not under the control of the man. I think Mr. Fan also knows the production speed of our man on new products. As long as there is a breakthrough in technology, the increase in production volume will be a matter of a blink of an eye. Even if the raw materials are somewhat different from Dachu's products, this difference can be erased under the huge price difference. This is also the reason why the man asked you to reduce the price. Otherwise, the man will turn to cooperate with others. To be honest, at that time, the first man who is damaged, the second man will be the villain."

Fan Zhuo's eyes rolled around. He did not take the person in front of him seriously, but the Yan Yizheng behind him did not allow him to ignore it. The news from Jicheng that Yan Yizheng was very likely to take over as the chief minister after Jiang Jiaquan retreated. If that time really came, he would indeed suffer significant losses in his business at the command.

I thought so in my heart, but I refused to admit defeat.

"Without Han State, I still have Qin State and the huge demands of the Great Chu."

Guo Han laughed: "Mr. Fan, please forgive me for being rude. Do you think those people in Qin who are so poor that they can't afford to eat have money to buy your high-end silk? In the past, they were rich and poor in the people. Now Fan Sui is carrying out reforms. Not only are the people not having sex, but the officials are not having sex anymore. As far as I know, since this year, the goods you sold to Qin have dropped by at least 60%. As for the situation in the mainland of Chu, I think I don't need to say more about it!"

Fan Zhuo was poked into the pain and slapped the chopsticks on the table with a snap. The delicious food in his mouth no longer tasted. It was because of the sharp drop in sales in Qin that he bet more hope on the Han country. The Han people obviously noticed this and took advantage of the situation to rob.

Guo Han observed his face and knew that the time had come. He said calmly: "The competition in the Han Dynasty is becoming increasingly fierce, and the era of huge profits has never returned. We have to lower prices to deal with domestic competition. However, if you do not lower prices at this source, we have to do a loss-making business! Lord Fan, the business plan is a long-term and long-lasting flow. Do you think?"

"How much do you want to reduce the price?" Fan Zhuo knew that it was impossible not to produce a little blood.

"Thirty percent!" Guo Han stretched out three fingers.

Fan Zhuo almost wanted to overturn the table, "Due to drop by 30%. Do you want me to drink the northwest wind? There is nothing to talk about."

"Mr. Fan, this price is the result of our careful calculations. It is not a casual price. Of course, the old man is not unreasonable. He knows that this price has approached Mr. Fan's cost price. So, this time I came here, and brought Dahan's latest silk reeling and satin weaving technology. These two new technologies can greatly reduce your production costs and increase shipments. Mr. Fan, now only by increasing the shipment volume and lowering the selling price can we maintain the market we have finally built up!"

"What technology can actually make up for the 30% difference?"

"Simply put, you used to be able to do work for ten people. With these two new technologies, you can easily complete it by one person." Guo Han smiled and said, "I have installed the two machines next door. If Mr. Fan wants to, you can go and observe immediately and see his operations. You should know what I said is not necessary."

"If there is such a thing, I have to find out what it is!" Fan Zhuo stood up.

"Please!" Guo Han said.

Next door, next to the machine that had been installed early in the morning, the two workers brought by Guo Han were already ready. Guo Han raised his hand and signaled. The two workers immediately turned on the machine, one started to reel and the other started to weave satin. Although Fan Zhuo was a person who was wearing clothes and eating, he still knew a little about his own business. After only a moment of watching, he opened his mouth wide in surprise and was so surprised that he couldn't stop. He walked forward and looked at the two machines carefully.

"Mr. Fan, you also know that our great men have always had extremely strict control over these new technologies, and there are people behind these new technologies. If the old man wants to persuade the Grand Parliament to agree to export these two technologies to Chu State, it will also cost a lot." Guo Han stepped forward and lowered his voice.

"You mean Yan Yizheng is sure to agree to export these two things. I just saw it. This thing is intricately structured and large parts can be made by us Chu State, but some exquisite parts are not something that we Da Chu can make."
