I’m The King Chapter 1240: : Carry on the past and open up the future (one hundred and thirty)

Although he is also a big businessman himself, Fan Zhuo, who is a senior official in the state of Chu, absolutely looks down on a pure businessman like Guo Han. In his eyes, all businessmen are just tools to make money. For Guo Han Han's courteousness, rolling his eyes that are more white than black, said indifferently: "I only have half an hour, if you have anything to say, just say it directly, don't beat around the bush, I don't have time to get involved with you."

Guo Han smiled and stretched out his hand to invite: "I have heard that Dr. Fan is a gourmet. This time, Guo brought some specialties from the north. They are all the freshest ingredients. In the south, it is extremely difficult to eat these. Something, and the cook was specially invited by Mr. Guo from the North, just to let Mr. Fan taste the original northern flavor, the banquet has been prepared, and Dr. Fan is invited to show you."

"Oh, then you have a heart." Fan Zhuo's face turned a little better when he heard that there was delicious food. Anyway, this businessman is still very sensible. From the north to here, there are thousands of miles by land and water. It is not an easy task to keep the ingredients fresh.

Successfully caught Fan Zhuo's curiosity, Guo Han felt a little proud.

Yao Garden was fully booked by Guo Han today. The courtyard was extremely quiet. I accompanied Fan Zhuo to the Water Moon Tower in Yao Garden. After a rough scan, it turns out that they are all northern products that are rarely seen in the south.

"Please take a seat, Mr. Fan!" Guo Han smiled and asked Fan Zhuo to sit down, and waved. The companion behind him took out a jug of wine from a small box carved with gold and silver.

"Master Fan. This wine was specially invited by the trustee from Wu's winery. This is Wu's pressed box treasure. For those who refuse to take it out, this jar of wine alone is worth thousands of taels of silver, and there is no market for it."

Carefully peel off the mud seal and tear off the sealing paper, a fresh and strange fragrance wafts in the room immediately, Fan Zhuo is also an old wine bug. After taking a deep breath, it was already blurted out. "Good wine!"

"Of course it's good wine." Guo Han said with a smile: "For that person's sake, I just asked for two jars from Wu's winery. I asked Mr. Fan to taste this jar, and the other jar was sold. I am filial to Master Fan."

Fan Zhuo picked up Guo Han's full wine glass. Taking a sip, she nodded in satisfaction, "I'm quite satisfied with this gift."

Guo Han picked up the chopsticks with a smile, "Master Fan, although the northern specialties on this table are new in the south, most of them have tasted of them, but there are a few of them that are different." Stretch out your chopsticks to pick up a piece of thin and almost transparent thing, "This is a strange fish that our sea fleet has salvaged from overseas. This fish can't be overcooked, it can only be eaten raw and cut into thin slices. It is served with our own Spices found overseas melt in your mouth and make your mouth full of saliva, Mr. Fan, please taste it."

Holding the thin slice, gently dragged it among the bowl of condiments, and put it on the small plate in front of Fan Zhuo.

Born in Jiangnan. Naturally there is no shortage of fish, Fan Zhuo provoked this piece of fish. Putting it in his mouth, when he was about to laugh at a few words, the words were held back in his mouth.

It is indeed unusual.

His chopsticks involuntarily reached for the plate of sashimi on the table.

Guo Han looked at Fan Zhuo who was flying chopsticks on the table with a smile, and finally succeeded in catching this proud doctor. It's time.

"Master Yan really has a heart." Fan Zhuo suddenly said while eating, seeing Guo Han's smile disappearing, and Fan Zhuo smiled triumphantly when he looked surprised.

"It turns out that Master Fan already knew my details." Guo Han sighed, "All this time, I thought I kept it a good secret!"

Hey! Fan Zhuo sneered: "Such a big business, if you don't have a strong backer, can you cover it? And it's the exclusive monopoly on the sales of Jiangnan thread silk in Han, so I naturally have to find out." Chopsticks pointed Pointing to these things on the table, "How can a businessman do it so easily if you want to transport these things fresh to the south of the Yangtze River without using the power of officials?"

Guo Han smiled dryly, neither negating nor affirming. "Master Fan, this time I come to Jiangnan this time, I still have to negotiate with you on the price. I hope Master Fan can lower the price a little?"

Fan Zhuo glanced at Guo Han, and said with a sneer, "Mr. Guo, in the Han Kingdom, those who have run out of silk and satin have no other price except to buy from you. Will you lower the price? In the same way, you The high-end silk and satin that is needed is only my family in Dachu, and there is no semicolon, so do you think I will lower the price?"

Guo Han smiled and said: "That's what you say, but Master Fan has ever considered that the high-grade silks and satins that we big men import from you are probably more than what you sell in Chu State. In short, more than half of your current sales come from our big man. I think this reason is enough for us to ask you to reduce the price, otherwise we will really anger that lord. If you give an order, I am afraid that Da Chu's high-end silk and satin will be sent to Han. The sales channel will be interrupted, and your loss will be huge."

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

"For that old man, yes or no, it's just icing on the cake. At the same time, I can also tell Mr. Fan that Dahan has made some breakthroughs in the production of high-end silk and satin, although the production volume is not large. , but it has already begun to be put into the market, and these are not under the control of the boss. I think Master Fan also knows the production speed of our big man on new products. As long as there is a breakthrough in technology, the increase in production will be in the blink of an eye. Even if there are some differences between the products of Dachu and Dachu due to the raw materials, this difference can be erased under the huge price difference, which is why the boss asks you to reduce the price. Otherwise, the boss will I'm going to switch to cooperating with others, and to be honest, when the time comes, the first damaged person will be you, the adult, and the second one will be the villain."

Fan Zhuo's eyes rolled wildly for a while. He really didn't pay attention to the person in front of him, but Yan Yizheng behind this person couldn't be ignored. It is possible that Jiang Jiaquan will take over the position of chief assistant after Jiang Jiaquan retires. If that time comes, he will indeed suffer a heavy loss in his business if he gives an order.

Thinking like this in my heart, but my mouth is unwilling to admit defeat.

"Without Han, I still have Qin and the huge needs of Chu."

Guo Han laughed loudly: "Lord Fan, please forgive me for being rude. Do you think those people in Qin who are so poor that they can hardly afford to eat have the money to buy your high-end silks and satins? In the past, they were rich officials and poor people. , what kind of reforms Fan Sui is doing now, not only are the people struggling to live, but officials are also struggling. As far as I know, since this year, your goods sold to Qin have dropped by at least 60%. I don’t need to say more if you want Master Fan!”

Fan Zhuo was poked at the sore spot, and he slapped his chopsticks on the table. The rare delicacy was tasteless in his mouth. Betting on Han Guo, and the Han people obviously noticed this, so they came to take advantage of the fire.

Guo Han looked at his face and knew that the heat had come, so he said in a calm and unhurried manner: "The domestic competition in Dahan is becoming more and more intense, and the era of huge profits is gone forever. We have to lower prices to cope with domestic competition, but you If the price is not lowered at this source, we will have to make a loss-making business! Master Fan, the business plan is a long-term, long-term, steady flow, don’t you think?"

"How much do you want to reduce the price?" Fan Zhuo knew that it would be impossible without a little blood.

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

Fan Zhuo almost wanted to overturn the table, "Thirty percent reduction, do you want me to drink the Northwest Wind? There is nothing to talk about."

"Master Fan, this price is the result of our careful calculations, and it is not a random price. Of course, the boss is not unreasonable, knowing that this price has already approached the cost price of Master Fan. , So, this time I came with Dahan's latest silk reeling and satin weaving technology. These two new technologies can greatly reduce your production costs and increase your shipments. Master Fan, now the only way to increase your shipments Only by increasing the quantity of goods and reducing the price can we keep the market we have finally won!"

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

"Simply put, you used to be able to do the job with ten people, but with these two new technologies, one person can easily do it." It's ready, if Mr. Fan is interested, you can go to observe it immediately, take a look at his operation, and know that what I say is not necessary."

"There is such a thing~IndoMTL.com~ I want to find out!" Fan Zhuo stood up.

"Please!" Guo Han said.

Next door, next to the machine that was installed early in the morning, two workers brought by Guo Han were already ready. Guo Han raised his hand to signal, and the two workers immediately turned on the machine. Starting to weave satin, although Fan Zhuo is a person who opens his mouth to eat and stretches out his hands, he still knows a thing or two about his own business. After just watching for a moment, his mouth was already wide open in surprise, and he was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear. Going forward, he carefully looked at the two machines.

"Master Fan, you also know that our big fellows have always controlled these new technologies very strictly, and there are people behind these new technologies to take care of them. The boss wants to persuade the Great Council to agree to export these two technologies. Going to Chu State will cost you a lot." Guo Han stepped forward and said in a low voice.

"You mean that Yan Yizheng is sure to agree to export these two things. I saw it just now. This thing has an exquisite structure, and most of the parts can be made by us in Chu State, but there are some delicate parts that our big Chu can't make. out."

"Since the boss has said it, it can be done naturally." Guo Han said confidently: "As long as Master Fan agrees to reduce the price by 30%, we can export these two new technologies to Dachu." (To be continued)
