The so-called boss is the real helmsman of Deqingtang.
However, for a chamber of commerce like this, there is usually more than one boss. Take Deqingtang for example. According to Liu Feng's investigation, there are three bosses behind it, that is, three different shareholders.
It is said that these three people were three orphans on the street in their early years. When they were young and the years were good, the three orphans tried their best to do various small businesses to accumulate capital. Finally, they saved up a family business and established the current Deqingtang ten years ago.
As for the name Deqingtang, it is also related to three people: the eldest brother Zhou De, the second brother Wu Qing, and the third brother Zheng Bitang.
The one at the helm was the eldest brother Zhou De. He paid the most money at that time, so he had the most say.
Deqingtang would divide the annual money among the three brothers according to how much they contributed. As for the specific business affairs, they were handled by professional shopkeepers like Sun Wang.
Sun Wang joined Deqingtang when it was founded. At that time, he was only the manager of a branch store. Later, the head manager passed away, and he was appointed as the head manager.
Because the three brothers invested differently, the eldest brother had absolute say, the second brother owned 30%, the third brother owned 30%, and the eldest brother Zhou De owned 40%.
So generally speaking, the other two people will basically not object to the decision made by the boss, because all they want is to make money.
After Sun Wang left, the servant stood quietly by. Not long after, another servant brought Chen Buyi in.
"It's done."
Liu Feng nodded and motioned Chen Buyi to sit down.
About a cup of tea later, a fat figure appeared, holding a wooden box made of rosewood under his left arm. It was not big, but it looked extremely shiny.
His expression was extremely excited, as if he had just finished sparring with his concubine.
As for the wooden box in his hand, Liu Feng guessed that it either contained priceless jewelry and jade, or the silver earned by Deqingtang was exchanged into silver notes and stored here.
"General Liu, sorry for the wait."
Zhou De's stomach was rumbling as he walked. After he finished speaking, he sat down at the table next to Liu Feng and put down the wooden box in his hand.
His gaze, from the moment he entered, remained on the snow-white refined salt for most of the time.
Liu Feng was not angry at Zhou De's rudeness, but was happy with his behavior.
Why is Liu Feng in a hurry? He is not in a hurry at all. A strong baby can be boiled in warm water.
"General Liu, you know that the snow salt business has almost no market in a small, remote county like ours."
Zhou De still trusted Sun Wang's words. Although he had not tasted it himself yet, he knew that Sun Wang had tasted it, so that was enough.
Even if you don't taste it yourself, you can still show off your bossiness.
It can also lay the foundation for his subsequent price squeezing.
"General Liu, if we at Deqingtang want to sell our snow salt, it will take a lot of effort."
"There are a lot of expenses involved. If there's any loss along the way, it's all money."
Liu Feng chuckled.
No more nonsense, just say it directly.
"Now that I'm here, I'm waiting for Boss Zhou to name his price."
Zhou De's face lit up with joy, and he directly arranged a row of tables.
I thought Liu Feng didn't understand the ins and outs of the matter and was already thinking about making a fortune.
"General Liu is indeed a straightforward person."
"In that case, if I hesitate, it would be disrespectful to General Liu. So, let's set the price."
According to the current price of salt, coarse salt is one stone and two and a half taels of silver.
As for white salt, which is better than coarse salt, the price is at least one hundred taels of silver.
It is still a situation where there is a price but no market.
The price of snow salt can be more than one thousand two taels of silver per stone. If the tribute salt is more expensive than snow salt, it cannot be found on the market at all, and the price is inestimable.
Zhou De offered a price of two thousand taels of silver, which seemed very generous, but considering the quality of Liu Feng's batch of salt, it was still much lower.
There is no doubt that the price of salt varies depending on its quality.
Moreover, the lower the quality of salt, the more people eat it and the wider the audience, but it is only slightly better than the worst salt eaten by livestock.
But these snow-white refined salts are for people to eat, but only for the rich and powerful. People have different statuses, so the salt they eat is also different.
Of course, the quality of Liu Feng's batch of salt is not just for eating.
This is real money, and it is more economical to give it as a gift than to give it as a gift.
And how much did Liu Feng bring? It was two stones.
If this money was divided into buckets at a time, it would be enough for Deqingtang to send the dignitaries all the way from Wenhuang County to Tianyong City.
With this batch of salt, it is a good thing for Deqingtang, and his business will be taken to a higher level.
If you look at it from this perspective, if Zhou De spent four thousand taels of silver to buy this batch of refined salt, do you still think that Zhou De's price was very high?
Liu Feng was also very straightforward. He stopped talking nonsense and just stretched out four fingers.
"Four thousand taels of silver per stone?"
Zhou De's expression changed instantly.
The price was doubled from the previous price.
"Master Liu, I am not the only one who has the final say in Deqingtang. Besides, I sincerely want to be your friend and make this deal."
"How about this, I'll add another hundred taels of silver, making it two thousand one hundred taels of silver per stone."
Liu Feng raised his eyebrows.
"Boss Zhou, four thousand taels."
Without waiting for Zhou De to speak, Liu Feng continued to talk about his price.
Zhou De was completely dumbfounded. What was Liu Feng doing? He kept insisting on this price. Wasn't he afraid that the deal wouldn't go through in the end?
