Chapter 1160 I want to sell bird droppings, I need to pay a sum of money

After rich businessman B said he wanted to be the agent of guano, rich businessman A and rich businessman C couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

It feels like dying early and being reborn early.

Sun Shan had long guessed that they came here to sell bird droppings.

There is no dishonest businessman without dishonesty. Buying bird droppings is a losing business, while selling bird droppings is a profitable business. For a businessman, he will definitely choose the latter.

Sun Shan glanced at the three wealthy businessmen calmly and said calmly, "How do you want to sell the guano? Buy it from me and sell it to others? Make a profit from the difference?"

Merchant C, who usually keeps quiet, nodded and said, "Yes, magistrate, that's how we want to sell it. Haha, magistrate, you are really smart."

Rich Merchant A knelt down quietly and said flatteringly, "Master Magistrate, there are so many people farming in Yuanlu, and the government office alone cannot sell all the land. Haha, why don't we help the government office sell it? What do you think?"

Seeing that Sun Shan didn't say anything, he immediately added, "Mr. Magistrate, if the government office can sell it, we can help you sell it in other counties. Haha, do you think this is a good idea?"

The wealthy businessmen thought that if the products were difficult to sell in Yuanlu, they would sell them in the next county, or at worst in the next city.

As long as bird droppings are good stuff, there will be no shortage of people selling them.

These traveling merchants would travel around and work a little harder, but they would definitely go as long as they could make money.

Rich businessman B agreed: "Yes, magistrate, we can sell it in other places."

They thought of selling guano, and other merchants in Yuanlu must have thought of it as well. With so many competitors it would be difficult to sell, so they went out to sell it.

After hearing this, Sun Shan admired the intelligence of these three wealthy businessmen.

What I admire is not their intelligence, but their execution.

They come when they smell the scent and take the initiative as soon as they smell the business opportunity, without any delay.

When three people walk together, there must be one who can be my teacher. Although these three wealthy businessmen look wretched, flattering and mean, they still have some ability to become rich.

Even this kind of shamelessness is worth learning from for Sun Shan.

Sun Shan rolled his eyes and said with a fake smile, "You want to sell guano before you even see it? What if the government office doesn't have any? Even if the government office has guano, what if the quantity is small?"

The three wealthy businessmen were stunned and looked at Sun Shan in disbelief.

Yes, they haven’t even seen any guano goods, and they’re already mumbling about selling guano?

What if there is no bird droppings in the yamen?

Many of my relatives work in the government office, but I have never heard of bird droppings in the government office before.

The three wealthy businessmen glanced at Sun Shan timidly and tentatively.

The chieftain mustered up his courage and asked, "Mr. Magistrate, you...you wouldn't lie to me, would you? You said that the government office had bird droppings for sale?"

Sun Shan spread his hands and said helplessly: "There is really no bird droppings in the government office now. It's too early for you to think of selling bird droppings."

Merchant B said anxiously, "My Lord, didn't you say that there would be some during the spring ploughing next year? If we start making it now, we will surely be able to produce it next year."

Rich Merchant C followed behind and echoed: "Yes, magistrate, if we start developing it now, we can sell it next year. Then we can help you sell it, okay?"

The wealthy businessmen were so eager to get the agency rights for guano that they took every opportunity to sell it.

Sun Shan nodded in agreement: "Yes, if we start making guano now, we will definitely be able to sell it for money to make money from the spring ploughing next year."

The three wealthy businessmen couldn't help laughing when they heard this.

I told you, the government office must have bird droppings for sale.

Then, changing the subject, Sun Shan asked coldly, "Why should I let you sell guano? There are so many merchants in Yuanlu, why did I choose you three?"

These words instantly choked the three wealthy businessmen who were still laughing, and they could no longer laugh.

Yes, why authorize them to sell it?

I have no relationship with Lord Sun and we have very little interaction. Why should I sell it to them?

Sun Shan felt relieved when he saw the three wealthy businessmen hanging their heads.

He made a gesture to invite people to stand up: "Please stand up. If you keep kneeling like this, outsiders will think that I am oppressing the people and that I am difficult to get along with."

After Sun Shan said this, the three wealthy businessmen quickly jumped up.

I was afraid that I would disobey orders in the next second and be caught and beaten with a stick.

Sun Shan was stunned. The three short and fat rich businessmen were so skilled that they could jump up as they pleased without any connection.

This move is vivid and lifelike.

Rich Merchant A said unwillingly, "Mr. Magistrate, haha, it doesn't matter who we sell it to. We really want to help the government share its burden and sell guano for the government."

As he spoke, the fat on his face was squeezed together with laughter.

In fact, the most important thing for wealthy businessmen is not to sell bird droppings, but to lose weight.

Being too fat is bad for your health.

Sun Shan thought for a moment and said, "Well, you can sell guano if you want. But there are conditions."

The three wealthy merchants only heard the previous words and shouted hurriedly: "Okay, magistrate, okay, we all agree."

Emma, ​​after much twists and turns, the county magistrate finally allowed them to sell bird droppings.

Emma, ​​that’s great. This trip was not in vain.

Sun Shan looked at the three people in silence and said, "Listen to my terms first."

Rich businessman A jumped out and said, "Mr. Magistrate, we will agree to whatever you say."

Hehe, they are here to sell bird droppings. I knew it wouldn’t be easy to meet them, so I was mentally prepared.

Sun Shan went on to say, "If you want to sell guano, you must pay a sum of money to the government. This money is not for the purchase of guano, but for a separate payment to the government. You must prove that you have the ability to sell guano. If you can't pay this money, then don't sell guano."

This was something Sun Shan came up with on the spur of the moment when he saw the three wealthy businessmen. It's called the franchise fee.

For example, some chain brands require you to pay a considerable amount of money before opening a store.

Such as franchise fee, agency fee, deposit, management fee, training fee, material fee, etc.

In short, before the store opens, they will make you pay.

Sun Shan is following this practice at this moment.

It is impossible for the government to buy bird droppings directly, so it has to find someone to sell it on its behalf.

Set up a point in each township and sell according to the guidance of the county government.

If there is a problem in any area, just contact the agent to handle it.

Money must not be passed through the government offices. Any fat meat that passes through the hands will leave a layer of grease.

The more officials you pass through, the greater the chance of corruption.

Sun Shan planned to set up a department specifically in charge of bird droppings, which would directly connect with various branch offices and let officials handle the matter as much as possible to reduce corruption.

When the three wealthy businessmen heard that they had to pay a sum of money, they were dumbfounded.

They know it's not that easy, but it involves money and it hurts.

Last time, Sun Shan cheated me out of 300 taels of silver, and I don’t know how much he will cheat me of this time.

Rich businessman A asked tremblingly: "My Lord, I wonder how much I have to pay?"

Sun Shan shook his head and said, "It has not been confirmed yet. I will inform you when it is confirmed."

Then he picked up the teacup and took a sip, which meant he was going to send the guest away.

Rich Businessman A wants to ask more.

Sun Shan gave Gui Ge'er, the background wall, a look.

Gui Ge'er understood immediately and dragged the three wealthy businessmen out.

His brother Shan is very busy. If it weren't for the fact that this was the first time that the three rich businessmen sent beauties, he would definitely not have met them.

Humph, after saying so much, you should have left long ago.
