Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 188 Marketing Ghost! (4200)

"Cao's...salt business?"

Wang Qing showed surprise on his face.

When Wu Liang said that he wanted to change the name of Yanhang, Wang Qing thought that even if Wu Liang would not give Yanhang a meaningful name, at least he should change it to something related to himself, such as "Wu Ji" Or "Wu Shi" or something.

Why did he change to such an irrelevant name?

"good."

Wu Liang nodded.

"Forgive Brother Yu for talking too much, what is the meaning of this name?"

Wang Qing couldn't help asking.

"Who has the final say in Yanzhou now?"

Wu Liang asked back with a smile.

"Cao Meng... the governor?"

Wang Qing replied.

"Then, brother Yu Nian and I are working together in this business in Chenliu, and we have to ensure that no one dares to steal this business. Who should we rely on?"

Wu Liang asked again.

"Naturally, it's Governor Cao, what my virtuous brother means is..."

Wang Qing finally realized something.

"If we want to make this business bigger and stronger, our three forces are indispensable!"

Wu Liangliang saw the two city coupons he had just obtained from Wang Qing, and said with a smile, "I will provide you with the unique magic method of snowflake salt and two salt shops, and Mr. Cao will provide his reputation and soldiers to guarantee our salt shop." Unique status and speed of expansion, and brother Yu Nian providing years of operating experience and manpower, this is an unbreakable iron triangle, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to do this."

"..."

It was only then that Wang Qing realized that in just a few words, Wu Liang had unceremoniously regarded the two salt shops as his own, which had already been included in his investment.

And without the participation of Boss Cao, or even any Cao family members, he was counted as one of the partners.

On the contrary, the Wang family, who said they were partners, has actually become the shopkeeper of "Cao's Salt Company"...

Isn't this the shopkeeper?

Responsible for the operation policy and manpower arrangement of the salt company. The shopkeeper of his salt company used to do this kind of work, and there is basically no difference.

It was also at this time that Wang Qing suddenly realized.

Under Wu Liang's seemingly calm appearance, there is actually such a big ambition hidden... When he was talking about Snowflake Salt with his father before, his eyes were still focused on the salt industry, and what he thought was based on the salt industry. Gradually bring the Wang family back to its peak glory.

But Wu Liang's vision seems to be much farther than theirs!
Otherwise, how could they bind the Salt Company with Cao Mengde, who is now flourishing in Yanzhou and Xuzhou, so that the military and business are connected, obviously they came prepared, and the plan is far-reaching?

However, Wang Qing didn't know.

In fact, what Wu Liang wanted was very simple, so simple that anyone would only think he was joking after hearing it.

"This kind of partnership, I would like to call it 'shareholding system'."

Wu Liang smiled, and continued, "According to the current investment situation of our three parties, Cao Shijun monopolizes [-]% of the shares, and brother Yu Nian and I each hold [-]%. Brother Yu Nian, do you have any opinions?"

"Thirty percent?"

Wang Qing was taken aback again.

After such a calculation, the Wang family is no longer like a shopkeeper.

It's a real partner. After all, the shopkeeper can't get so much share, and if he is exhausted, he is just a senior worker.

Also.

What he didn't even understand was that Wu Liang, a partner who provided almost all the core technology and infrastructure, only took [-]% of the shares, but gave Cao Cao [-]% of the shares, making Cao Cao the biggest beneficiary. Isn't it necessary?
"Brother Yu Nian thinks it's too young?"

Wu Liang asked.

"No, no, not at all. Now that the Wang family has no salt shop, and the future has not yet been settled, it may be defeated by Brother Yu. Brother Yu is willing to support the Wang family in this way, and it has reached the point of benevolence. How dare you be greedy."

Wang Qing quickly expressed his opinion.

"That's good. Since that's the case, I'll leave the matter of changing the signboard to brother Yu Nian. As the saying goes, brothers settle accounts clearly. I will draw up the contract later. Brother Yu Nian will sign and press his fingerprints, and then he can bring snowflakes with him." Salt's unique magic method Go back to prepare for the opening of "Cao's Salt Shop". I will also go to Cheng Yu to explain this matter, and ask him to make a convenient way for "Cao's Salt Shop". The first one after our opening The goal is to win the entire Chenliu salt industry market, and how to implement it depends entirely on Brother Yu Nian."

Wu Liang said with a smile.

In fact, the contract Wu Liang talked about was not used to restrain Wang Qing, nor was it used to guarantee his own interests, but was left for Boss Cao to read in the future.

This must be a big surprise for Boss Cao.

Imagine that Boss Cao came back from the war and suddenly found that the salt industry in Yanzhou was monopolized by a salt company called "Cao's Salt Company". After asking for a long time, he found that Wu Liang was actually one of the bosses behind the scenes.

Then when Wu Liang was called to inquire, Wu Liang took out a contract with Boss Cao's highest income, and took out both his own and Boss Cao's, and returned a big mouthful of blood to Boss Cao.

Just ask if you are surprised or not?
Not surprised?

If at this time, Wu Liang said again that the "unique method of snowflake salt" was obtained from tomb robbery, the ancient books and documents in the tomb still hide a large amount of knowledge left over from ancient civilizations, and this knowledge is the real treasure, far better than gold precious jade.

He also took this opportunity to suggest that Boss Cao transform the Huan army into an "archaeological army".

Since then, he has focused on studying ancient books and documents in ancient tombs, and excavating the remains of ancient civilizations for Cao Wei's use, instead of simply stealing gold for Boss Cao. Did the Guren Army successfully transform from a "tomb robber organization" into a Formal "scientific research organization"?
Of course, if one "snow salt" wasn't enough.

Wu Liang also has a series of crit strikes with the "Target System" and "Secret Locust Extermination Method". There is always one that suits Boss Cao, and based on the time, it is very likely that all three moves will be launched at the same time, resulting in a super crit!
In doing so, Wu Liang was actually thinking for himself.

In the last few months of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Wu Liang found more and more that the current social productivity has been severely affected by years of fighting.

It is also because of this that inflation has reached a very terrible level.

Not only the five baht coin has long been turned into scrap copper and rotten iron, but even the purchasing power of gold is constantly depreciating.

On the way Wu Liang went to Yuzhang County to rob the tomb, he passed by a few small places where five baht coins were still in circulation. Even if it wasn’t a small coin minted by Dong Zhuo, it would cost 200,000 yuan to buy a dendrobium barley in such a place, and the price was clearly marked about Not counter-offer……

200,000 money, what does that mean?
It means that if ordinary people want to buy a piece of Dendrobium bean and wheat, they have to spend five baht coins that are more than ten times heavier than this one. According to the weight of 3.7 grams of the normal five baht coin in the Eastern Han Dynasty, they have to bring 740 kilograms. Copper coin to buy a dendrobium bean wheat...

Although gold is a rarer and more stable metal, it will be an extremely important currency reserve even for future generations.

But in this era, gold can neither be eaten nor drunk, and it is just a currency.

A farm ox needs a hundred catties of gold, and a war horse needs dozens of catties of gold. This is the result of a serious decline in social productivity.

If you only focus on obtaining gold instead of finding ways to improve social productivity, you are exhausting your resources. One day, no matter how rich you are, you can only hold a mountain of gold and starve to death.

That is to say.

If Wu Liang does not carry out the transformation, as social productivity further declines and the purchasing power of gold further decreases, Boss Cao’s demand for gold will only increase, and Wu Liang will eventually be unable to meet his demand one day.

When that day comes, although Boss Cao will not kill him for no reason, he will reduce his reliance on him.

Then his "archaeology" career will definitely be affected...

"I will do my best to live up to the support and trust of my talented brother."

Wang Qing quickly agreed.

Now that the Wang family has reached the verge of desperation, being able to climb onto the big boat of Wu Liang, and finally have the hope of being brought back to life, how could he give up so easily?

"Oh, by the way, Brother Yu Nian, yesterday I heard from the old man who arranged the cremation for Brother Yu Nian that the Wang family was a descendant of a famous family and was once the right prime minister?"

Wu Liang suddenly thought of something, and asked again.

"Exactly."

Hearing this, Wang Qing finally puffed out his chest, cupped his fists and said, "The ancestor was named Wangling, and he was treated like a brother by Gaozu, and he was named the Marquis of Anguo."

"Wang Ling?"

Hearing this name, Wu Liang immediately became interested, and asked with a smile, "But the tomb where the mother died with the sword, swearing to the death that her son would not be threatened by Xiang Yu?"

According to historical records, during the Chu-Han War, in order to win over a man named Wang Ling, Xiang Yu arrested his mother and detained him in the barracks as a threat. Threatened by the encounter, the son commits suicide with his sword in order to show his ambition by death.

Xiang Yu was furious, so he ordered people to throw the body of Wang Ling's mother into a bronze tripod, cook it into minced meat, and throw it on the side of the road to feed the dogs.

Since then, Wang Ling has devoted himself to Han, and followed Liu Bang to defeat Xiang Yu in the Chu-Han dispute.

After Xiang Yu's death, the Han Dynasty was established, Wang Ling finally worshiped the right prime minister, and was named Anguohou.

Later, the imperial power fell, and Empress Lu's line wanted to control the power alone. Wang Ling strongly resisted. Empress Lu worshiped Wang Ling as the grand tutor on the surface, but in fact took away the power from him. Wang Ling was disheartened and refused to go to court at home.

In this way, the title of Marquis of Anguo in Wangling was passed down to the time of great-great-grandson Wangding.

In order to strengthen the centralization of power, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che suddenly staged another incident of "Golden Seizure" that shocked the government and the public.

Since then, the title of the royal family has been cut off, and there is no record after that.

It is worth mentioning that.

"Uncle" Liu Bei's ancestor Liu Zhen, the Marquis of Zhuoluting, also cut off his title in the "Jin Jin Seizure", which is why Liu Bei had to weave mats and sell shoes with his mother when he was young.

In comparison, Wang Qing's life is actually pretty good...

"Exactly."

Wang Qing replied.

"Brother Yu Nian..."

Wu Liang patted Wang Qing on the shoulder, and decisively drew a cake for him, "As long as this salt business becomes bigger and stronger, although I can't guarantee you the position of prime minister, I can also help the Wang family get back the Marquis." position, and...don’t take any risk, do it well.”

……

the next period of time.

Wu Liang teaches Thyme something new every day like a tutor, and he enjoys it too.

In addition, he also went to Yongqiu several times.

Yongqiu's "Tuntian System" work is also going well. Yang Wanli brought back 50 villagers at will, and has begun to build houses and open up wasteland in suitable places according to his own arrangements.

According to Chenliu's climate conditions, from now until March and April, this place is not suitable for planting crops.

Just take advantage of the empty window period in the middle, let the villagers carry out some infrastructure construction, and settle them down first... Naturally, the villagers have no objections, they are all refugees who are about to starve to death, and those who can stutter Not bad, not to mention that there are people who provide them with tools and materials to build their own houses.

During this period, Zhu Lu naturally provided a lot of help.

In addition to cattle and farm tools, the most important thing is his "half-price grain".

From now until the crops mature, these villagers will have to rely on Zhulu's half-price grain to feed them... But when it comes to the harvest season, as long as there are no serious diseases, pests and droughts, the grain that a villager can grow is considered as After deducting the share, it will definitely be many times more than the food he eats these days, and he will definitely not lose money.

What's more, Wu Liang has corresponding countermeasures for the locust disaster that has been foreseen.

at the same time.

"Cao's Salt Shop" also officially opened for business. Once the unique snowflake salt was launched, it immediately occupied the high-end market of Chenliu and was sought after by all major families.

Of course, this is also inseparable from the marketing strategy provided by Wu Liang - health.

This is a topic that people of all ages flock to.

And thus further expands the consumption of Snowflake Salt:

Brushing your teeth with snowflake salt can make your teeth whiter and make your teeth healthier;
Washing face with snowflake salt can remove oil, dead skin and freckles, making the skin healthier;
Shampooing hair with snowflake salt can prevent hair loss and make hair volume healthier;
Snowflake salt bath can remove toxins and make the body healthier...

According to Wang Qing's words, after promoting it in the gentry circle, it really exploded the market.

It's just that the Wang family has not yet mastered a large-scale salt field. Even if they master the "five-step salt production method", there is no way to carry out large-scale mass production for the time being.

Therefore, Wu Liang provided Wang Qing with an idea commonly used by merchants in later generations - hunger and thirst marketing.

Deliberately reduce the production of snowflake salt, and then sell it at a higher price, and as long as someone comes to ask, it is sold out or reserved, and if you want to buy it, you have to "increase the price" and queue up to go through the back door.

Snowflake salt became even more popular immediately!
Of course, in this case, most people can't afford it.

Wu Liang felt that this was no problem at all. In this situation where there is no way to mass-produce, it is the last word to steal more money from the rich. When mass production is possible, Wu Liang will not ask to reduce the production of Snowflake Salt. At that time, the price will naturally drop, and ordinary people will be able to afford it.

"Absolute! Absolutely! Talented and virtuous brother, why do you need any business experience from me? You are a marketing genius who is rare in a hundred years. I think you are deliberately embarrassing me."

When Wang Qinglai reported the situation to Wu Liang, his face was full of red light, and Le's mouth could not be closed, "If any family doesn't use your snowflake salt now, then they have no qualifications and skills, and they don't deserve to call themselves nobles. It’s too embarrassing to say hello to people!”

Although there is still a long way to go from the cake that Wu Liang drew for him.

But recently, Wang Qing has enjoyed the courtesy that can only be obtained by wealthy families.

Even the most famous and powerful Zhu family in Chenliu County specially sent the eldest son Zhu Yu to find him, and came to visit him politely, hoping to join the team and order some pots of snowflake salt.

This was something that Wang Qing didn't even dare to think about in the past!
　Thanks to [book friend 170119002746727] the boss for his 500 coin reward and support.
