Cheng Chumo and Qin Dang stood behind Zhang Chao as spectators throughout the whole process and watched the entire negotiation process.
"Didn't you say that Zhao Dongjia was a profiteer, in that case, why did you have to cooperate with him to buy his grain" Cheng Chumo waited for the two of Zhao Dongjia to leave, and immediately couldn't help but ask Zhang Chao.
"That big Zhao household hoarded Juqi and raised the price of grain, he was indeed a profiteer, and he was not benevolent to the rich."
Zhang Chao doesn't have any agreement with Zhao Yuanwai, but to be honest, there is no business or treachery, every businessman is chasing profits, chasing the maximization of profits.
When the entire grain market in Guanzhong was so chaotic, Zhao Yuanwai was just following the flow.
Besides, the most important thing in doing business is the project itself, not the character of the counterparty.
The character of the collaborator is also important, but not so important that it exceeds the project itself.
The Zhao family is in a very poor situation now, and at this time, Zhang Chao can cooperate with him, just to occupy the initiative.
Today's final negotiation results also proved that Zhang Chao's idea was right, just one ninety-eight fold, Zhang Chao can get two or three stone grain concessions a day, two or three stone grain a day, a month is hundreds of stone grain, a year is a thousand stone grain, this number is very large.
What's more, now that the Zhao family is cooperating with Zhang Chao, it is not hard to get up, Zhang Chao asked them to deliver it for free, and they had to deliver it for free, which also saved Zhang Chao a lot of costs.
With so many preferential conditions, changing to a grain merchant may not be able to negotiate so smoothly.
The Zhao family can also be regarded as Zhang Chao's carefully selected cooperation object, first, the Zhao family's strength is not bad, and it can fully supply the grain purchase needs of the Zhang family.
Second, the Zhao family is also in some difficulties now, and we must pay attention to the Zhang family, a partner.
If you find a grain merchant with strong capital, Zhang Chao may not be able to enjoy treatment with 100 stones of grain a day.
And if you find a weaker one, maybe this small grain merchant will fall down in this collapsed grain market one day, and then Zhang Chao will have to find a partner again.
It is not so easy to find a stable supply channel and get satisfactory discounts.
"We buy so much grain, will we run out" Qin Dang asked a real question.
"The people take food as the sky, regardless of the poor people, if they don't eat a meal, they will be hungry.
This Jingshi Chang'an has a population of hundreds of thousands, so many mouths, you know how much food you have to eat every day to do a catering and eating business, and you will never have to worry about having no business, of course, the premise is that you have to make it delicious and have a good reputation. ” Zhang Chao now has 11 cake shops, and there are many Zhangjiagou villagers who carry baskets to the counties and townships of Gyeonggi every day to sell, in addition, the Zhang family also cooperates with many post station restaurants and restaurants, some of which are directly picked up in Zhangjia, and some are sold on behalf of others.
With the iron gun brand that has become famous, not only the sales of yellow buns are rising, but also various new products such as meat buns, soy milk fritters, and fried fritters are also selling very well.
Now Zhang Chao is not worried about not being able to sell, what he has to consider is that Zhangjiagou's production capacity is a little unable to keep up.
The Zhang family's white-flour steamed buns are two taels per one, and there are about 500 steamed noodles in one stone.
Because the buns have more filling and water, ordinary meat buns can make a thousand pieces of flour with one stone.
If you sell 20,000 steamed buns a day, you will need 40 stone of flour, and if you sell 10,000 meat buns, you will need 10 stone of flour.
Fritters, fried fritters, dumplings, wontons, etc., also need a lot of flour.
Zhang Chao still believes in this sales, after all, Chang'an has such a big market, and he also has so many sales channels.
The food that Zhang Chao ordered was not excessive.
What really gave Zhang Chao a headache was the turbulence of grain prices, and the turbulence of the grain market would inevitably lead to the price of these products in Zhangjia Cake Shop.
Yellow buns have to be reduced to three wen one, white flour steamed buns are reduced to four wen one, and meat buns are ten wen three.
However, as long as Zhang Chao keeps an eye on the price of grain and does not overstock grain, then his profits can still be guaranteed and will not be affected too much.
He fixes his own profits, then adds profits to his own costs, and changes the selling price of his products, so that he can be invincible.
But in doing so, business will be affected somewhat, after all, the price is constantly changing, which is not a good thing.
The profits of steamed buns, steamed buns, steamed buns, raw fried buns, etc. are controlled at about half a penny, and the interest rate of Wowo is lower. 50,000 is a net profit, half of which is distributed to shareholders, and Zhang Chao can also get 25,000 yuan.
The business has become bigger and the profits have decreased, but Zhang Chao is still content.
The 25,000 dollars are fixed profits, and they will flow every day in the future.
Moreover, after the signboard of food and drink is played out, and the word of mouth is done, it is equivalent to having a good platform, and I can use this reputation to do more things in the future. 25,000 a day, 750,000 a month, and if it is done well in a year, it is also a big deal of 9 million.
Nine thousand, nearly ten thousand.
Even if this profit is a little optimistic, but conservative calculations, there will always be at least 5,000 yuan a year.
Although it is not as profitable as soap trading and alkali trading, it can't stand up to a large amount, this business is done every day, and this business can also make many people rely on the Zhang family, the villagers of Zhangjiagou, and the guys in those shops, this is the influence.
Money alone is not influence.
But Zhang Chao is still too young.
He only cared about his own profits and his own profits, but he forgot that merchants were just cheap businesses in the Tang Dynasty, and in the eyes of the imperial court, they were just pigs raised, and they could be killed for meat when they got fat.
The Tang Dynasty did not have commercial taxes.
However, it does not mean that there are no other charges.
Zhang Chao was thinking about the big deal of nine million this year in the store, but the city official of the city bureau came to visit.

"I heard that San Lang was in the market today, so I came here on purpose, but fortunately I didn't come late."
As soon as the city official came in, he smiled at Zhang Chao with a smile on his face.
"If Brother Wang has something, just say hello to the guys in my shop, and I'll go to you in person, so why don't you come to the door in person."
Although the city officials are only small officials, after all, they are specialized in managing businesses in the West Market, and the current officials are not as good as the current management, Zhang Chao knows how powerful these people are.
There is a way that the king of Hades is easy to provoke, and the little ghost is difficult.
"It's something."
Wang Shiguan smiled and looked amiable.
"Man, get a bowl of fresh bean curd for Brother Wang, and then a plate of fried buns and a bowl of soup."
Wang Shiguan pretended to excuse himself a few times, then sat down with a smile and enjoyed the new set meal of Zhang's shop.
After eating and drinking, the Wang Shiguan finally made his intentions clear.
He came for two things, one is that the imperial court recently sent a large army to encircle and suppress Liu Heimin and other rebels in Hebei, dispatched a lot of soldiers and horses, and spent a lot of money and food.
The emperor was sympathetic to the people and could not bear to levy more money and grain, so this task finally fell to the merchants of the Tang Dynasty.
All merchants in the eastern and western cities were subject to a war tax.
Depending on the size of the shop, the amount payable varies.
Zhang's family is a cake shop and a big shop, so there is a lot of money and grain that falls on Zhang's head, a hundred yuan.
Looking at the list handed over by the city official, Zhang Chao's face was a little unpleasant.
It's just a cake shop, and it's only been open for a few days, and it turns out that it's a hundred war taxes on its head Is that really good?
"This is a document from the three provinces, and the merchants in the east and west cities of Chang'an have to pay it, and there is no discussion."
Wang Shiguan said seriously.
Zhang Chao wanted to scold his mother, he only spent 300 yuan to buy this store, and it was only a few days after it opened, and he had to pay 100 yuan of war taxes, what is this called no commercial tax, and what kind of commercial tax is not so high.
He hasn't made that much money in this store yet.
The whole family of the eleven stores can only earn 750 yuan a month.
Where is the court shearing sheep, this is obviously killing pigs.
Zhang Chaoqi's liver hurt, it's too unreasonable, what does it mean that the emperor is sympathetic to the people's feelings, can't bear to let the people levy more, and the businessman is not the people of the Tang Dynasty Qin Dang also frowned on the side, "Wang Shishi, why is this apportionment so high, it seems that I have to report back to the Duke of Xia Yi Guo and ask him to ask His Royal Highness King Qin, this is also too unreasonable."
If we really have to pay 100 yuan, we are afraid that this small shop will have to close down immediately. ” Now the city official's face is not very good-looking.
Zhang Chao suddenly understood, it seems that although the imperial court has levied war taxes on Chang'an merchants, it will definitely not be so high, one hundred guan for one store, and there are tens of thousands of shops in the two cities, so it is not possible to levy millions of guan money at once It is estimated that the top and bottom of this yamen have taken the opportunity to stretch out their hands, and under the layers of stretching out their hands, this number is estimated to have doubled.
"Ah, look at my memory, it turns out that I took the wrong one, this list is not yours, it belongs to someone else.
I'll go back and look for your one later, and I'll send it to you. ” The city clerk ran away in disgrace, and this guy had obviously forgotten about the iron cake shop, which was covered by the Winged Prince.
Zhang Chao saw through it and sent the city official to the door.
After a while, the city clerk rushed back again, and this time the number on the list became ten.
It's still a lot, but it's already ten times less, and Zhang Chao estimates that this time the number should be the number levied above.
No matter how dissatisfied he was, Zhang Chao had to pay the 10,000 yuan in the end, and then exchanged it for a receipt.
He had just cut 10,000 dollars of meat and sent it away to the city officials, and the head of the bakery came again.
A cake shop is a merchant guild that sells cakes, and there is a head who is responsible for liaison management, acting as a liaison between the government and the cake shop merchants.
The head of the meeting came to persuade donations.
The Chang'an Cake Store was ready to spontaneously raise 1,000 yuan to donate to the imperial court.
"How much do I want to donate?"
"Of course, donating money is voluntary for everyone, and it is naturally best to donate more."
The head of the meeting laughed.
"Then can you not donate" Zhang Chao also made a joke.
This is naturally not possible, the so-called voluntary, that is just a joke.
There is no limit to how much you can give, but you have to donate at least twice.
Zhang Chao felt that if the family had two runs, it would definitely raise more than 1,000 yuan in the end, and the extra money would probably fall into the hands of these stewards in the guild.
But this thing is also an unspoken rule, and the binding force of each guild on peer merchants is very strong.
If you offend these people and launch a peer boycott, it will definitely be very difficult to mix in the future.
