"You are so polite!"
Yan Xiong smiled and put the things aside.
Although he has no use for this thing, he can use it to train his subordinates.
Medicinal herbs that can increase the chance of breakthrough are indeed rare.
"Haha! Last time I didn't recognize your true identity and offended Gang Leader Yan. I hope you can forgive me and don't take it to heart."
Xu Sheng said with a smile.
The so-called collision refers to what happened last time in Liu Laohan’s Mutton Restaurant.
"I have long forgotten about that matter, so don't worry. I am curious as to why you came to see me.
Also, why are you not taking care of your business but hanging out in my Sand City? What's the point
I don’t believe you are here for fun!”
Yan Xiong waved his hand, let go of what happened last time, and turned to ask about Xu Sheng's purpose.
Hearing this, Xu Sheng sat up straight and said seriously:
"I would like to discuss cooperation with Tianxiahui on behalf of my Xu's Company!"
"Oh? How can we cooperate?"
Yan Xiong actually had some guesses about Xu Sheng's purpose.
He found out about Xu's business, so naturally he would also find out about Xu's business model.
The Xu's Trading Company is different from other trading companies. When other trading companies open branches, they usually open stores directly in the city and then send shopkeepers and staff to sell.
But Xu's company is different, they never sell it themselves.
They would sell the goods directly to a local force and sell all the goods at once.
In this way, although the merchant's profits became thinner, the merchant not only sold the goods at one time, but also did not have to bear some of the risks.
If we apply their model to modern times.
This model is actually a franchise model.
Xu's Trading Company is the head office, and the forces joining from various cities are franchisees.
The only difference is that franchisees here do not need to pay franchise fees.
Of course, the company will not give you this good opportunity to make a profit for nothing. You must have a certain amount of power to ensure that the business can continue, and only then will Xu's company cooperate with you.
“I believe that Gang Leader Yan should have known about my Xu’s Company and the cooperation model of our company.
We hope to become your partner!
From now on, all the food, weapons, medicines, and other things for your city and your gang will be provided by us!"
Xu Sheng spoke straight to the point.
After a pause, he continued, "For this reason, we are willing to sell the goods to you at a price that is 30% lower than the market price."
Having said this, he looked at Yan Xiong, "Boss Yan is a man of insight, he should know exactly how low this price is!"
Yan Xiong had to admit that the conditions Xu Sheng offered were indeed very tempting.
The original Chihuo Gang was involved in business, so Yan Xiong also had some understanding of the prices of goods in the borderland.
Because Mobei is close to the endless sea of sand, there is almost no grain harvest here.
Almost all the food was transported from other places in the Southern Region by various trading companies.
As time goes by, the price of grain has remained high.
Except food.
The same goes for weapons and medicinal materials.
Although Mobei is not short of these two things, and is even a major exporter of weapons to the Southern Region, the gangs' demand for weapons is inherently greater than that of ordinary people.
This results in each gang spending a large amount of money on purchasing weapons every year.
Just like the original Red Fire Gang, they spent nearly ten thousand taels of silver on weapons every year.
Now the Tianxiahui controls the entire Sand City, and has almost four times more manpower than the former Chihuo Gang.
In this case, the annual expenditure on weapons alone would probably be tens of thousands of taels of silver.
If it can be reduced by 30%, nearly 10,000 taels of silver can be saved.
"We can cooperate."
Yan Xiong felt that this matter was something they could cooperate on, so he nodded in agreement.
"Haha! Boss Yan is indeed a man who can accomplish great things. I will go back and inform the people below to ship this year's goods here."
Xu Sheng was also very happy about Yan Xiong's agreement.
He also didn't expect Yan Xiong to agree so readily.
In this way, Xu's Trading Company had tied up a potential ally with almost no effort.
Xu is naturally not a kind-hearted person who sends warmth.
They won't reduce their profits by 30% for nothing and let others take advantage of them.
Any gang that cooperates with Xu's Trading Company has a clause.
That is, if the business encounters an enemy, these gangs must do their best to help.
It can be said that Xu exchanged 30% of the profits for a thug on the same front.
"etc!"
Yan Xiong suddenly called out to Xu Sheng who was about to leave.
"Boss Yan, is there anything else you need?" Xu Sheng asked.
"Our gang has just established itself in Sand City, so we hope that the payment for this first batch of goods can be delayed."
Although Yan Xiong had unified Sand City, there was indeed very little silver in the Tianxiahui's treasury.
The reason is naturally because Li Shenzhou’s silver vault has not been found yet.
When Yan Xiong destroyed the Li Mansion, he did not think of checking the location of the silver vault. It was not until later that he remembered it, but it was too late. By then, the Li Mansion had already become a ruin.
In the next few days, the Sha Gang and the Donglin Escort Agency sent people to keep an eye on the ruins of Li's mansion, to see if Li Shenzhou would come back if he was not dead.
This resulted in him never having the opportunity to have anyone dig in the ruins.
It was not until the Sha Gang was wiped out that he arranged for people to dig.
However, no findings have been made so far.
"This..." Xu Sheng looked hesitant.
The amount of goods in one city is not a small amount, and he was a little worried that Yan Xiong would default on his debt.
Although he was not afraid that Yan Xiong would default on his debt, after all, Xu's Trading Company was not a simple company.
If they are really provoked, they will have to transfer personnel from other places or mobilize their clients. The Tianxiahui, a force that has just taken over a city, is really not enough.
"Don't worry, although I, Yan Xiong, am not a good person, I never betray my allies!"
Yan Xiong said this without changing his expression, but he was cursing MM in his heart.
Now thinking back, it seems that he inherited the Chihuo Gang by relying on rebellion.
The Donglin Escort Agency had agreed to form an alliance with me the day before, but I turned against them the next day and forced them to leave Sand City.
Looking at it this way, it seems that I am not a reliable ally, as I have been betrayed twice before.
A strange look flashed across Xu Sheng's face.
He knew a lot about Yan Xiong's rise to wealth, so he was naturally aware of these things.
However, the strange look on his face was fleeting, and he said:
"Since Boss Yan said so, I will give you half a year's grace. How about you pay off the money after half a year?"
What Xu Sheng learned from his father was the art of doing business.
We all know better than anyone that business has gains and losses, and that there is no return without investment.
Although Yan Xiong had a previous experience, he was still willing to trust Yan Xiong once.
"In that case, thank you very much!"
Yan Xiong smiled and bowed to Xu Sheng.
