Chapter 82 Divide the Market
Although the Cui family is not a royal family, they still have a strict hierarchy, and the juniors usually serve the drinks.
Cui Sanye is the elder of the Cui family. In the entire ruling system of the Tang Dynasty, although he has no official or nobility, according to the previous unspoken rules, he should be treated the same as the prince of the Tang Dynasty.
Even if Li Xiang is the eldest grandson of the emperor, it can't be too much. So when he saw Cui Sanye picking up the wine pot, Li Xiang picked up his own wine glass with both hands. This was considered to be a face, and of course it was the Cui family. After being humiliated, according to Mr. Cui's opinion, Li Xiang should take the jug.
"Chang'an City is out of the question, but if it's some other state capital, we can still discuss it."
Li Xiang's words made Mr. Cui's dissatisfaction disappear immediately. Mr. Cui was a little angry just now when Li Xiang didn't take the jug, but after listening to Li Xiang's words, he was dissipated by the benefits.
Although the spending power of other state capitals cannot match that of Chang'an, they can't handle the large quantity. If they can get it all, the Cui family can not only make up for the losses in the previous period, but also make a lot of money, and it is sustainable. , compared with this, what was the dissatisfaction just now?
Third Master Cui is more generous in his view of things, but people like Cui Yunzhu are different. Seeing Li Xiang drink the wine poured by Third Master Cui, they all want to go up and give Li Xiang a slap in the face, but they also know that today’s theme is What, plus the top management of the family has decided that if they do this, they will definitely be dealt with according to the family law, and they will never come out again in this life.
"But let me tell you something ugly earlier. The price is ten thousand dollars per catty. Of the three hundred and sixty states in the Tang Dynasty, your Cui family can only occupy two-thirds. I will manage the remaining one-third myself. You still have to Help me set up a point of sale.”
Li Xiang then made a proposal that they wanted to reject on the spot.
You must know that in the world of liquor, besides the Cui family, there is the Changsun family.
The Cui family occupies nearly 80% of the market, the Changsun family only occupies less than 10%, and the rest are some small families from various places.
According to Li Xiang's statement, he suddenly reduced the Cui family's proportion to 60%, and Li Xiang wanted to get the other 30%, which was indeed a bit excessive.
As for the price of liquor, they have nothing to worry about. The price on the black market in Chang'an City has reached around 13 guan. Even if we pay 10 guan per catty, we will be able to sell it in the future, and we can also guarantee a big profit. Isn't it just a person? Sales tool? Our Cui family also has it.
"Fifty state capitals, this is the limit we can make, and it cannot include the eastern capital Luoyang and the states south of the Yangtze River."
Mr. Cui thought about it for a long time before finally saying this. Li Xiang had been asking for a high price, so we were waiting for the other party to make a counteroffer.
"Except for the eastern capitals of Luoyang and Jiangnan, I have to choose these fifty states."
Li Xiang knew very well that the buyers of Datang Tianjiang were basically concentrated in some wealthy areas, so when he made his choice, apart from the places mentioned by the Cui family, there were only fifty other states in the world. Even if the Cui family has more, they may not be able to sell even a pound in some places.
"This is no problem, but it does not go to the trade routes to the Western Regions..."
Old Man Cui quickly thought of another way to make money, and trade between the countries in the Western Regions and Datang was also opened. If left to them, the sales volume would be no less than that of the two capitals of Datang.
Compared with the Tang Dynasty, the tribes in the Western Regions still practiced slavery. The leaders of many tribes were the property owners of the entire tribe. Their lives were extremely luxurious. It didn’t matter whether it was ten guan of money or twenty guan of money, as long as it was You can send wine to them, and as long as they drink well, there is nothing they can do without paying for it.
"Third Master, do you care about the affairs of the Western Regions?"
Li Xiang put away the smile on his face. We have already arranged the money you should earn. If you stretch your hand too long, it would be a bit too much. Li Xiang operates some places by himself, and others The place will be given to others, but it does not mean that it will be given to one person. This will easily lead to a big loss.
"It's me, an old man, who is too worried. Let's drink and drink. Starting from today's meal, we are a family. If your Highness has anything to do, you can go directly to Yunzhu, or you can come directly to me. From now on, I will He will be stationed in the capital permanently."
Cui Sanye said with a smile that with the result in front of them, they have achieved their goal. He personally knows very well how powerful Tang Tiannong is. He can win two-thirds of the world's treasures. The market is quite good. If Li Xiang doesn't want to, he can cultivate a huge competitor for them at any time.
"Then we need to have one more drink. Right now I have something that I want to trouble the Third Master. The Third Master must have heard about what happened to me yesterday, but the people under my command are not doing things well, and they haven't done anything yet. I found out a reason, so I want to ask Mr. San to help me check..."
Li Xiang would definitely not use the ready-made helpers. The Cui family's investigative ability is no joke. Sometimes it can even be compared to the emperor's in some aspects, so Li Xiang raised it directly. .
Mr. Cui is also very depressed. I thought it was just a polite comment. The relationship between us is far from this level, but Li Xiang has already raised it. If Mr. Cui shirks it, it may be a little bad. The cooperation between the two parties has just been established. If you say empty words, it will leave traces in the future.
"Please rest assured, Your Highness, I will immediately ask the people below to investigate. As long as there are any clues, I will immediately send someone to deliver it to Your Highness. I have already paid attention to it before. Although there is no definite news yet, Your Highness can go Check those foreigners, our masters are all on the surface, but we don’t know much about their masters.”
If an ordinary street uncle said this, there might be no basis for it, but Mr. Cui is one of the four elders of the Cui family. It is said that the heads of the Cui family are very respected, so Mr. Cui said this. , Li Xiang basically understood who it was, it should be Zaterk.
"I would like to thank the third master in advance. Regarding the liquor, I will have someone come over to contact you later. Let's hurry up and start selling liquor. If you start early, you will make money early."
If you get benefits, you must give something in return. This is also the principle of Li Xiang's life. After hearing Li Xiang's words, the three people present also smiled...
