Traveled through Daming, but was punished by the old Zhu Shizu

Xia Yuanji also leaned closer, "Brother Liu, Mr. Song means that the Anqing Mansion will fully support you. If you need any policies, just negotiate with the central businessman."

Old Zhu snorted dissatisfiedly,

"Your Anqing Mansion can handle things!"

Xia Yuanji laughed a few times when he heard the words, but dared not answer.

Old Zhu was actually very jealous, he wished he could send Liu Xiu directly to Yingtian Mansion,

But Lao Zhu also knew that the conditions in Yingtian Mansion were far inferior to those in Wudi. Wudi was simply a paradise for business.

So Lao Zhu could only be jealous.

Lao Zhu changed his mind, anyway, as soon as he returned to the capital, he would increase the tax on Anqing Mansion.

Let's get a share too!

"Dear friend, we are very interested in your proposal, why don't you tell me what your request is?"

The merchant clan in Central Asia became quiet, apparently a consensus had been reached, the Tuotuo patriarch turned around leaning on a cane, looked at Liu Xiu with a smile and asked,

"As long as you buy goods from us, all the prices you sell overseas must be set by us."

"What?!" Mabulos stood up suddenly, his eyes full of disbelief, "Is this the sincerity of you Central Plains people?"

The exotic beauty Timur Zhanlan suppressed the shock in her heart, and said, "You might as well listen to him."

Hearing this, Mabulos gave Liu Xiu a bitter look, and sat back with a cold snort.

In fact, it is not to blame him for being so angry. The fundamental logic of Central Asian businessmen to make money is to be a loser.

Receive low price, sell high price,

And if Liu Xiu sets the price for them, it means that Liu Xiu completely controls the profit of Central Asian merchants,

The Tuotuo patriarch looked at Liu Xiu with questioning eyes, and Liu Xiu said calmly,

"Because our Daming salt is also sold overseas, if we all sell the same kind of salt, our price will be slightly lower, and your price will be too high, which will affect our reputation."

The Tuotuo patriarch hummed, and took a deep look at Liu Xiu, full of vigilance in his heart.

He has traveled with caravans all his life since he was a child, and has dealt with countless merchants in the Central Plains, but he has never met a merchant like Liu Xiu.

The young man in front of him is a stubble!

"You're right. Fame is everything for a businessman, my dear friend," Patriarch Tutuo turned around,

"However, how can overseas markets tell that the salt is produced by your Liu family? Since they can't tell, how can it damage your Liu family's reputation?"

Older gingers are more spicy!

The words of the Tuotuo patriarch made the Central Asian businessmen applaud,

And they all looked at Liu Xiu provocatively, wanting to hear his answer,

Liu Xiu was calm and composed, and was not stopped by Tuotuo's patriarch at all. He smiled and said,

"This is the second condition I want to say. The salt you buy from Wudi and distribute overseas must use the Liu family trademark."

"You! You are too deceitful!" Mabulos subconsciously got up and retorted, but after saying that, he said in a daze, "What is the trademark?"

The Central Asian businessmen looked at each other with doubts on their faces, and even the wisest Tuotuo patriarch couldn't answer,

The patriarch Tutuo rubbed his stick and asked, "Dear friend, please forgive our shallowness. Can you tell us what a trademark is? If you don't know what a trademark means, I'm afraid we can't agree to your conditions."

Liu Xiu nodded and said, "Naturally."

Then he turned around and explained a few words to Shen Wansan, Shen Wansan nodded and trotted out, and brought two packs of salt in a short while.

The weights of the two packs of salt are different, but the same thing is that they both have the words Daming Salt on them, and there is a complex pattern on the back,

This is the trademark that Liu Xiu spent a lot of manpower and material resources on the salt bag.

Shen Wansan handed over two bags of salt to the patriarch, and Central Asian businessmen gathered around one after another,

What catches the eye is this table salt as white as snow and as fine as sand, packaged in a transparent bag,

It can be seen that there is no impurity in the salt inside, just like a fine work of art,

"Hiss!" Even Mabulos had to admit that the Liu family's salt is unique in the world!

"The words and patterns on the packaging are trademarks." Liu Xiu explained.

Patriarch Tuotuo frowned and looked at the salt in his hand, as if he had understood something, but he hadn't grasped the point yet.

Timur Zhanlan blinked and looked at Liu Xiu with big eyes, and asked, "Why don't you sell your salt loosely? Instead, you put it in bags, and you have to put a trademark on the bags. How much more money will it cost?" Money?"

"In my opinion, you are a shrewd businessman, why would you do such a cost-increasing thing?"

Shen Wansan laughed inwardly when he heard the words,

Everyone in the Liu family also raised this question before, and it was Liu Xiu who decided on this strategy after overcoming all opinions.

With the sale of salt in various places, the doubts in the family became smaller and smaller, and were gradually replaced by worship.

Because they found that the cost of packaging salt in this way is really nothing compared to the benefits it brings!

Chapter 269 The Caravan from Yandi

Because, the Liu family, who sell salt in various places, discovered a wonderful phenomenon,

People everywhere only recognize this kind of table salt with a trademark package. In the words of the people, this kind of table salt can directly see whether it is good or bad, and there will never be any impurities mixed in.

Over time, the reputation of Liu's packaged salt is getting better and better.

Even some people in remote places who have never tasted this kind of salt are clamoring to buy Liu’s salt.

More importantly, those small traders who wanted to imitate Liu's salt for profit were directly pressed to death invisibly.

Without him,

The common people don't accept their salt at all,

The common people recognized the salt of the Liu family, so who can they ask for an argument?

Moreover, those small traders couldn't imitate Liu Xiu's behavior at all. It would take a lot of manpower and financial resources to pack and pack the salt. I'm afraid there is no other person in the world who can do it except Liu Xiu.

Therefore, the Liu Family Salt has completely monopolized the Daming market.

Before Liu Xiu could answer, Patriarch Tuotuo began to cough violently, obviously he already understood the function of the trademark,

The Central Asian merchants hurried forward and helped the Tuotuo patriarch to sit down. The Tuotuo patriarch looked at Liu Xiu with fear in his eyes, then turned to look at King Wu, and said embarrassingly,

"I'm really sorry, I'm too old, I don't know if I can take a break, let's talk in the afternoon?"

King Wu glanced at Lao Zhu secretly, and Lao Zhu raised his chin towards Liu Xiu's back, and Lao Wu asked directly,

"Sir, do you see?"

Liu Xiu nodded, "Of course, then let's rest."

Song Zan led a group of Central Asian businessmen to the guest room, and after watching the Central Asian businessmen leave, the Ming officials immediately burst into cheers.

They were suppressed by Central Asian businessmen so badly, seeing Central Asian businessmen deflated, today is not in vain,

The fifth child rushed down from his seat excitedly, grabbed Liu Xiu, and said excitedly,

"Sir! If we can cooperate with Central Asian businessmen, that would be a great joy!"

Everyone nodded.

Although he doesn't like the behavior of Central Asian businessmen, no one doubts the earning ability of Central Asian businessmen.

Why did Mongolia sweep the world? Without the Central Asian businessman as a big money maker, I am afraid that the Mongolian nobles would have done it long ago.

Liu Xiu's complexion was solemn, and she no longer had the self-confidence she had just now. She said solemnly,

"Your Highness, don't be too happy too early. The chances of success in this matter are not high."

The fifth child was puzzled, "Why don't you do a one-shot deal with them directly, sir? As long as the money is in place, the overseas market can be directly handed over to them."

Old Zhu also looked at Liu Xiu when he heard the words, with a questioning look on his face.

Liu Xiu secretly sighed in his heart,

The two didn't listen to what I said just now!

Anyway, in Lao Zhu's heart, the idea that the Central Plains is a kingdom of heaven has been deeply rooted. I think so, and these sons naturally think so,

This is not to blame Lao Zhu, the Huaxia region has indeed been far ahead in the world for a long time,

But there will always be new forces rising up, and at this time, if you don’t change your thinking and only know how to rely on your old books, you will fall behind and be beaten.

Liu Xiu and Lao Zhu have talked too much, and Lao Zhu may not fully understand it. The limitation of the comparison is here.

Just like Liu Xiu is telling Lao Zhu now that in a few hundred years, the Central Plains will be bullied into the soil by the great powers, and even the little Japanese can ride our heads to shit,

Will Lao Zhu believe it?

Therefore, just talking is not enough. If you want to change a stubborn person like Lao Zhu, the most important thing is to let him see the results.

Let him see with his own eyes that some of his ideas are indeed behind,

Liu Xiu replied, "Your Highness must also know that Central Asian businessmen are unique in their ability to make money."

"It's natural."

"Have you thought about it, Your Highness, why are stingy Central Asian businessmen willing to pay such a large sum of money to buy overseas markets?"

The fifth child reacted immediately, "It's just because the overseas market allows them to earn more money!"

"Yes," Liu Xiu gave Lao Wu an approving look. Although the age difference between the two was not too big, Lao Wu always had the feeling of facing an old man when facing Liu Xiu.

"The shopping mall is like a battlefield. The more the enemy wants to do, the more we have to stop it. The more Central Asian merchants want to buy out the overseas market, we just don't sell it. Only in this way can we make more profits. Your Highness, do you think this is true? "

The old fifth nodded heavily, "Sir, you are right! It seems that I was thinking wrong, and I have never been overseas, but this group of Central Asian businessmen have basically traveled everywhere they can go. Naturally, they are better than us. Learn more about overseas markets…”

"...It seems that our understanding of overseas markets is still too shallow."

Liu Xiu saluted respectfully, "It's a great thing for Your Highness to understand this point."

Liu Xiu's words were not only for Lao Wu, but also for Lao Zhu.

Lao Zhu heard it in his ears, and the doubts in his eyes completely disappeared.

Xiu'er is right!We have fought wars and we know it!
